Wow KLR leading Indian run scorer in this year's IPL, he did great last year as well I think. @Jimmy Cliff 

 

KLR->avg 55, SR 130

Kohli->avg 34, SR 134

 

How is KLR still not a certified starter in our national T20 XI?

last Year Rahul had 600 plus runs, 150 plus SR.

Vinod Rajpal: "28 changes Kings XI have made it this IPL ? Is it ??"

 

Smart arse Ashwin, did the same last year & cost his team again 

sums up the season

There's a world of a difference between the way he batted last year compared to this one. Initially it was sort of understandable as the WC selection was around the corner and he wanted to play safe. But he is still carrying on with no intent in the first powerplay ala Rohit.

Maybe the string of failures last year has made him more circumspect, tentative. But if a subpar KLR can still top the batting charts that speaks volumes about his potential.

Yeah totally . It’s stupid to expect an opener to finish off an innings 

Except when it's SRT, of course.

This is the new Mahi approach lol he is practicing for World Cup 

yeah, he was basically setting himself up for the WC.  Tbh, don't really care for IPL this season as long as he can play like this in the WC.

Yes. Even I used to support Punjab till Ashwin became captain. CSK and MI are the most successful franchise. Punjab obviously not so. Fans from MI and CSK will be a lot more aggressive and egoistic. It's not our fault other teams are minnows.

[Gollum]

KXI has no middle order. Why didn't they bid for Root in the auction? I feel their season was lost there. Miller is a sorry excuse of a batsman these days.

Hopefully.

Since Warner is off after this game, will Martin Guptil gets a chance? Kane has not had much form. SRH batting is a liability after Warner/Bairstow.

 has the best fans, they deserve something special tonight. 

More like mellowed down  after 11 years with age and experience. Been there, done that and also it doesn't help when your team hasn't won a single season either  You obviously missed out on the earlier editions lol...  kxip probably  had the craziest die hard fans in the earlier editions.

Yes surely .

Guptill ,kane and stanlake are the only ones left after the afghans leave .

 

[PBN]

Not making the making is a blessing in disguise... good detox before the WC

Should take a page off KKRs playbook and Make Rashid open the innings. He can slog and bat much better than Narine. Will give SRH the same momentum. But Afghans will also leave soon.

heard Shakid has been allowed to be there till IPL ends.

[Gollum]

SRH has many likable players: Saha, Kane, Shankar, Nabi, Rashid, BK. Hope they play the finals against Delhi who are equally pleasant, prove that nice guys can finish first.
