@Ultimate_Game Who do you support now in the last leg of the IPL?

Very difficult choice. Want Bumrah and Pandya bros to do well while Gambhir has been one of my favorite cricketers. Ideally would like Bumrah and Pandyas to perform well but Gambhir's team to win so I guess will go with KKR in today's game.

 

In the final would like Gambhir to do well along with Siraj (if he plays) and Dhoni's team to come out on top :agree: 

 

But one thing for sure, which I've maintained from early on, that Mumbai's best chance to win is for Rohit to open and for Rayudu to sit out. Let Rohit open with Pappu with Simmons coming in at 3 with Nitish Rana at 4. Rohit takes time to get in and opening is his best slot. At number 3 Rohit is as out of place as Kohli is while opening.

Rohit's problem is not batting position but shoddy technique. At no. 3/4 in t20 you are not very late.

I believe batting position matters quite a lot to some batsmen. E.g., Tendulkar was a different player coming in at 4 and as an opener. I see the same with Rohit. Similarly Kohli at 3 is a different beast compared to as an opener. When Kohli opens he puts too much pressure to go for his shots early and maximize the PP overs whereas his game is built to take his time, keep the strike rotating with 1s, 2s and occasional boundaries and then tee off.
