It's RCB vs CSK vs Rain time! Am betting on rain to win in this mega-clash thanks to extremely high chances of rain throughout the day today. Bangalore fans are probably cursing the rain already.
They wouldn't have been in this position had they performed better in the first half of the season and won that match against KKR. Truly tough to be a RCB fan.
Arey aisa na bolo yaar. This encounter is poised up nicely and it's a knock out match between big dogs, even neutral will get pissed if there is another washout on the card.

Like I said PSL running parallel to IPL, is an opportunity for every foreign unsold player in the IPL.
Well... there are 10 IPL franchises, and therefore a total of 80 foreign players can participate in the IPL. But even among them, the salaries are quite divergent. For example, if you take a look at the Chennai Super Kings, the salary range of foreign players varies from $25,000 for Matheesha Pathirana, to $1.8 million for Daryl Mitchell. PSL franchises can easily pick someone like Pathirana by offering 2x or 4x the current salary. Same is the case with Delhi Capitals. David Warner can't find a place in the starting XI, and salary for Jake Fraser-McGurk is just $63,000.
More power to them and they should if they are offered good money. I am in for players, doesn't matter which league they prefer as long as they are making big bucks and securing their future. In short, they should look at their long term benefits and interests. Also, let the market decide the outcome and should drive the price up for every deserving candidate.
The question would be if Pathirana is comfortable enough to take such a big step. He was an uncapped Lankan when CSK got him and nurtured him. Finally, his stocks are up in CSK's camp so a big paycheck is coming sooner than later. The same goes for Jake, he's uncapped too.
