Suryakumar Yadav started his t20 career with a high blow but all of a sudden he lost his pace and momentum . In recent matches he's  not performing anything .
Mumbai Indians have to do something about their performance and team order to win the game otherwise they'll be the first one to out of ipl.

What did Ajinkya Rahane eat yesterday? This guy went all guns blazing and scored the fasted 50 in IPL history. Correct me if I am wrong with the stats. I was expecting my favourite Rituraj to repeat his previous performance.

Sisanda Magala with that body weight bowled very well. I think he might be the most bulky international player in today's time. I was not aware that he is a pace bowlers. Never followed him so never knew about him.

MI needs to do some big changes in their team if they do not want to land again in the bottom. This team has gone from bad to worst. None of their star batters are able to score runs including the captain Rohit Sharma.

SKY has been consistently scoring in single digits and sometime nothing. I really admire this guy but he needs to quickly get back his form.

It is always nice to see Chennai Super Kings winning matches. Their performance shows how important captaincy is in T20 cricket. Bowling first, they were able to restrict a very strong team like Mumbai Indians to 157/8. The spin duo of Mitchell Santner and Ravindra Jadeja once again did a great job, and shared 5 wickets between them. I am not surprised with Jadeja, but the exceptional performance from Santner so far was unexpected. And for the Mumbai Indians, Cameron Green hasn't clicked in a way they want him to be. So far he has scored just 17 runs and picked up 1 wicket.

Upcoming match for CSK is against Rajasthan Royals. The team is strong with its two win and one loss. In all the three matches it scored good runs. In the match against Punjab kings the team lost the match by 5 runs while chasing the target of 197 runs. This way the team is quite strong in bowling, batting and in chasing targets. This match will be completely one sided or this will be very interesting as the match will move till the last ball.

great performance by Chennai super kings - agreed that their bowling and batting was strong in todays match.
lovely performance - looking fwd for the great performance in the next matches.

Both the matches were big loss. In today's match Chennai Super Kings showed the real ability of the team. The bowling is good, so is the batting. The early wicket of Devon gave a thought that Mumbai Indians would easily take the match under control. The thrashing performance from Gaikwad, Rahane, Dubey and Rayudu is quite good and with this power the team could defeat any team.

MI start is not ideal as both time they have batting first, and their stars were completely down and out of touch which is surely the biggest concern for them in early matches and if they fail to have better results in near future then things can go from bad to worse for them because difference of points can bring them down from the play-offs race in today match we have just 157 runs after scoring 171 in first game this is not ideal target with bowlers are also not able to perform as they required in this format and competition with this all most chances we will have not ideal season for them because they need to change mentality which is now not easy while after losing early matches are also not good thing.

Sharma, Kishan and SKY all are having not good start I was expecting CSK will be not in better shape, but they can bring good change of fortune, and surely we will have better situation for them in this season as well.

CSK V MI

Chennai got a very easy win against Mumbai today. After the first match defeat, Chennai managed to get back on track quite well. And Chennai's overall performance in both matches was superb. However, the main hero of Chennai's victory in today's match was their bowlers. Jadeja in particular bowled brilliantly. He picked up three wickets for just 20 runs in 4 overs. Also, Ajinkya Rahane's performance impressed everyone today. He scored 61 runs off just 27 balls.

Mumbai has lost both their matches. In the first match, they lost against Bengaluru by 8 wickets. They were badly defeated in today's match as well. The condition of Mumbai, Delhi, and Hyderabad is very poor this season. All these three teams will probably be at the bottom of the points table.

Royal Rajasthan having enough stuff for this season with bat and bowl and if they keep performance like this surely we will have good end of them in this season while mostly other teams are struggling from early rounds few things looking pretty good as GT, LSG, RR and PBK are looking special teams which will be in handy position if we have no late shocking results from few sleeping giants like RCB and MI even right now situation is clearly indicating we will have no enough support from these sleeping giants because these teams are full of star players, but performance level is usual which is never helping them for having better results while they have the worst start of the season.
 
Today RR done amazing job even still they need to promote Hetmyer because he is big player for big games and can bring better results but right now their strategy is working for them, and they have good results hopefully they will keep things at their best level.

Between Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings, It was a great match from Chennai Super Kings. Especially Ravindra Jadeja whose bowling performance played a very good role, taking wickets of the big three batsmen of Mumbai Indians and low Econ made him the best player of the match today. Although I would have been happy to declare Ajinkya Rahane as the Player of the Match, his batting performance today quickly took Chennai Super Kings to the brink of victory. If we talk from the average run-rate and also the run worm chart, we can see that Chennai Super Kings were ahead in each sector. Anyway, today's match helped me book some profit, and congratulation to CSK for this victory.

The starting of this IPL season is really ignominious for DELHI CAPITALS. If we saw at the point table now Delhi Capitals is at the bottom of table with -2.092 rating. And I agree with you that the team management should definitely revise their team squad, especially if we see how Delhi played in the first three matches their bowlers were being very expansive, due to poor bowling performance,
and for this their opponents were being to able set targets of the good amount and later batting failed to chase that target due to lack of good batsmen in the squad. I think they should give a fresh look at both the batting and bowling side.

As a Bangladeshi supporter I will be very happy with Aleem dar's retirement because in many matches Bangladesh team lost important matches due to his wrong decisions. Anyway good luck for next life

Pakistani umpire Aleem dar took is about to retire. A very emotional good bye he has received during his last match

There are various strategies and calculations in IPL. He has been taken but not include into the playing squad. Moreover, Delhi Capitals' loss in 3 consecutive matches made this matter more interesting. Why have you kept a bowler like Mostafizur Rahman out side of the filed? Since they are not doing well, authority should be given a chance in any match to see how effective his performance is. However, it is not an easy task to recover from losing three matches in a row. If Delhi Capitals don't win the next few matches then there is no doubt that their condition will deteriorate this season.

Delhi Capitals team management is making fun of Mustafizur Rahman by not taking him in the squad. They are posting his picture on their social media page before the start of the match. I'm wondering why they took him in Delhi by hiring a private jet if they don't want to include him in the playing XI. 3 consecutive losses for Delhi Capitals. I think they will have a tough season in this IPL.

I am agreeing with you buddy , I am also hope some more run from specially from the captain of Mumbai Indians Rohit Sharma. Even his performance was not that bad but the expectation of of run and strike rate was more and it is less than that.
And if I talk about my prediction in this match it is already we all also can guess who will won todays match . Chennai Super kings looks very comfortable on pitch and their require runrate was being lower than their current run rate.
Ajinkya Rahane played a awesome role with his batting performance I have seen a fasted half century today from this man . His strike rate was more than 234 . Only from 26 bowl he made 61runs
Currently Chennai super kings at 83 run with falling two wickets and they have still the required runrate is under the current Runrate. I already placed my bet on Chennai Super kings today. Let's see what is going to happening.

Buy a washed-out, aged Indian Test specialist batter on base price and promote him to the top order in a T-20 match.

And the very same guy who got dropped from the test set up due to his timid approach, scoring 19 ball 50 lol . All credit goes to Chad Dhoni and CSK management. 

Trent Boult is an absolute destructive with the new ball. His ability to swing and generate extra bounce make him a threat to any batting lineup. In the match between Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals, Boult's skills proved as he do his things again. Delhi Capitals couldn't lead his team out of trouble. The strike rate and overall performance of the team were extremely poor. The amount of balls David Warner faced, he certainly had the opportunity to score a hundred in every game! Unfortunately for the Delhi Capitals, this was their third consecutive loss of the season. Let's see if they can turn things around.

Rajasthan Royals' high run rate is mainly due to opening batsmen Butler and Jaiswal. However, some wickets fell after half an over from the beginning of the game and Rajasthan scored some more runs towards the last with Hetmyer as the batsman. Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals' bowling and batsmanship is very weak as wickets fell more towards the last part of the match. Due to which Delhi Capitals were under a lot of pressure and Rajasthan Royals won by 57 runs. Now Rajasthan Royals are at the top of the points table.

Disappointing batting from MI as they gave a target of 157 to CSK. The 15.25 crore worth Ishan kishan once again failed to score runs. I don't know why MI is spending too much money on IK, he was a failure in last IPL but IK was once again bought by MI for 15.25 crore. Its good opportunity for CSK to improve there standings on points table. MI has spent so much on Rohit and IK that they forgot to buy some quality bowler.

The opening pair of Rajasthan Royals was 98 runs. And the two openers Jaiswal and Buttler collected 139 runs. Such a great start allowed Rajasthan to set a target of 200 runs. A collection of 199 runs was enough to win against Delhi. Because Delhi is not in good form. Like the last two matches, Delhi lost today too. Delhi's total was only 142 runs. Warner scored the highest 65 runs for the team. Delhi is at the bottom of the points table after losing all three matches. And they lost all three matches due to poor batting by the batsmen.

Trent Boult's first over turned the tide of the match for Delhi Capitals. Trent Boult's first over was like this, (0 0 W W 0 0).  

Where he picked up a maiden over with two wickets in the first over of the innings. If two of the first row batsmen of a team get out with golden ducks, then the momentum of that team can be seen after seeing the batsmen of Delhi Capitals.  For the subsequent batsmen, it was very difficult to deal with the bowlers of Rajasthan Royals. And so it happened. But David Warner has kept one end of the responsibility so far.  Where 82 runs are now required from 24 balls to win. That means Delhi Capitals need to score twenty plus runs in every over to win. Which is absolutely impossible. Rajasthan Royals' victory is only a matter of time. Delhi Capitals failed to prove themselves once again.
