True that! Disappointed with Dhoni too as I expected him to show his good form but he was also disappointing. Losing by 10 runs having wickets in hand doesn't even make sense. This time their performance has been the worst comparing the earlier seasons.
Dhoni is 39 years old and he cannot win the matches single handedly at this age and he is not having much experience in this ground even as an international cricket player, so you need to understand the difference in situation. They promoted Sam in this match but did not find any spectacular innings like everyone expected and in the end it was a big chase for them.

CSK wins the cap for the most inconsistent team in this IPL Grin.

CSK has the most senior players in their team in IPL, when other team are playing with young blood. They have some history, they have the capability but somehow couldn't use it properly. Very disappointed to watch such poor cricket.

I don't know what is wrong with CSK. This was a match they could have easily won. They had the advantage up to the 16th or 17th over, when Kedar Jadhav came and just dug in without scoring any runs. He even refused to take singles and pass the strike to Jadeja. And this has happened to CSK at least 2-3 times so far in this tournament. I don't want to go in to various conspiracy theories... but can't ignore the fact that CSK was suspended for two years in the past for match fixing.
Everyone tried to win thi match other than Jadhav and I guess its time for him to sit on the bench for the rest of the tournaments, if he did well or atleast par then CSK would be left with four winnings because this match and the one before the last match too costly when he did nothing and conceded too many balls. KKR played really good at the end and pulled their win from the hands of CSK literally.

Dhoni was in with Curran when I leave for outside and now checking its really shocking result for me because CSK can go in trouble again for this its really shocking result for all of us they lost this match fron no way they can won very easily but after checking this result I am feeling we will have something in coming days about this match.

It was disappointing from the KKR, after starting so well. Even after 15-16 overs, I was hoping that they will end up around 180-190. But they scored 30 runs lower. The Abu Dhabi ground is not that easy to bat on, but even then a score above 180 would have guaranteed them a victory. Between 160 and 180, it can go either way. Fortunately for the KKR, they got Faf du Plessis out early.
At starting KKR run rate quite good to make supposition that they could undoubtedly reach almost 200 yet that is not going happen really. Nothing surprising though as they are losing wickets in regular. At this moment CSK are 142-5 and require another 26 runs with 6 balls remaining. So, Congrats to KKR.

The problem i see with Eoin Morgan and Andre Russell is that they are susceptible to short pitch bowling and if CSK bowlers could not bang in short pitch ball at pace then they could score heavily.
It was accurate as they lost the wickets to short pitch bowling but i thought they both play short pitch bowling well and they lost their wickets today to short pitch balls which was accurate. I was looking at your past predictions and your predictions are mostly on spot. Post your predictions early so that we could follow that and try our luck as well.

KKR lost all their wickets for 167, I thought they are going to score something near 200 but they lost wickets in the middle and death overs, no one really played better other than Tripathi.This is another good chance for CSK to win and break the criticism for this year because they lost three in a row and suddenly people call them as they will finish in the bottom of the table.

I will bet on KKR . The main reason is KKR is more stable than CSK. I expected a good innings from S. Gill , A. Russel and E. Morgan . I think this 3 is the best on their position . N. Rana and D. Karthik also  good player . On the other hand CSK is a good team also. But they have not any players who are playing well on a regular basis except du Plessis. That's why i bet on KKR today
The problem i see with Eoin Morgan and Andre Russell is that they are susceptible to short pitch bowling and if CSK bowlers could not bang in short pitch ball at pace then they could score heavily.

Right now Kolkata Knight Riders is scoring at a healthy pace and anything above 170 could be a big challenge for CSK to chase and with Russel and Morgan yet to come they could very well score above that and KKR could win the match because they have a solid bowling team that include Pat Cummins and some young bowlers.

What about today's match, i am confused which team to pick. I expect CSK to play better after they dominated the last match but the rest of the players were not tested. They need to promote Sam Curran up the order as he is striking the ball well in this IPL.
The team that are playing today I like most. Both are very favorite to me. So this is the day for me to enjoy both sides. Grin Far now KKR is doing well. and gathered more than 50 runs and lost 1 wicket in the powe play. It's looks quite good. But CSK also will not give up them easily. So Whatever the score do by kkr, Csk will try hard to chased. I want say it fifty fifty chance to win for both team.
KKR decide to bat first which was good decision until now as gathered more than 90 runs with over 9 run rate after losing 2 wickets. Could CSK bowlers restrict them under 170? Unfortunately I'll have to say that I am unable to make any bet today as I could not figure it out. As you have said both has equal chances to win so lets watch if CSK can make great come back by chasing.

Considering CSK has really struggled so far in this tournament, it will be wrong to expect miracles from them. But then, KKR hasn't performed that good either. The big issue for KKR is that Sunil Narine and Andre Russell are yet to reach their peak form. Shubman Gill and Eoin Morgan got the runs during the previous matches. Anyway, a lot is going to depend on who wins the toss.

As per the reports gayle is not really fit to play games that is why they are going with Maxwell again and recently he played good for his nation but keep failing miserably when it comes to IPL tournament for years.
Maxwell should be promoted up the order and once he gets going he could clear any boundary and not sure what is the fitness issue with Gayle but if he is in the team he could change any match even at this age.

I think KXIP are unable to find their winning combination. At the beginning of the IPL this team looked pretty strong and a potential winner of the league especially after that innings played by KL Rahul and Mayank Aggarwal. But yes you are right they are not being flexible with the team now. Continuously playing with the same old players doesn't helps you especially when they have been out of form from long time. Similarly Pooran is also not consistent. Their batting order starts at KL Rahul and ends at Mayank Aggarwal. Similar issue is with bowling. No consistent foreign bowler. Both Chris Jordan and Sheldon Cotrell play one good match followed by a bad match. They need to revamp the team for a match by adding gayle and a few changes in the batting/bowling order.

If Mumbai Indians wins this match, then they would have won 3 matches in a row. Similarly, this will be the third consecutive defeat for the Rajasthan Royals. Once you lose the momentum, it is very difficult to make a comeback.
MI won another one by a big margin. Are we going to see them win the title yet again? I still think DC is a better team this time around when compared to them though. RR and Punjab are going down after their initial momentum.

The most balanced teams have a better chance to win the tournament. KXIP and RR performed better in the beginning, because their individual players did well (KL Rahul / Mayank Agarwal in the case of KXIP, and Sanju Samson/Steve Smith in the case of Rajasthan Royals). But these players can't win matches all the time, and the others also need to contribute. MI and DC are performing well, because they have the most balanced teams.

Yeah you are right . He is so underrated . He bowled brilliantly in all the matches except the one against KKR . In each match , he bowled 4 overs and gave less than 30 runs  . And  took important wickets. I am hopeful that he will be able to maintain his great performance .

Delhi Capitals probably have the best opening bowling pair in Rabada/Nortje. What makes the difference is their bowling at the depth overs. They have conceded less runs, when compared to all the other teams in overs 16 to 20. Their spin bowling options also look quite strong, with Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin making sure that the absence of Amit Mishra is not felt.
MI bowling is also very competitive and good right now they are doing very good job and look like we are going to have MI and DC in for top positions for this years title no other team going to challenge them CSK and RCB both going down very badly even both also have some good and exciting players in ranks.
CSK made a comeback by 10 wicket won against KXIP and RCB also made great comeback in their previous matches except the last one but stil we can't say clearly which team is going to be on the playoffs.Look at RR even the experienced batsmen failed against MI only Buttler gave resistance while all other wickets are falling every over.
KXIP is really crap team right now they are going to be 8th for this season as they have nothing to do Maxwell is also completely out of touch so its more problem for them losing against CSK by 10 wickets nothing serious business now after Bhuvi SRH is also looking some bad as they need some good bowler but right now its not available for them.
