Austin 3:!6 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 ICF's Preview This is the 1st edition of IPL since its inception that CSK has not made it to the playoffs. Being the most consistent team in IPL history, this season must have been tough for its fans and players. They need to endure 2 more matches of pain this season and come better prepared 5 months later. Some confidence must have boosted on the CSK camp after beating RCB in the last game. Though this is a dead rubber for CSK, a lots at stake here for Morgan led KKR. A loss here meaning they are almost out of the tournament and win would still keep their hopes alive (with 14 points). Andre Russel's injury is a big concern for KKR and it looks like he will take no more part in this IPL. But KKR will take comfort from the return of form for Shubhman Gill and will once again rely on its trump card Varun Chakravarty. Key Players KKR - Shubhman Gill, Varun Chakrabarty CSK - Sam Curran,, Ruturaj Gaikwad Likely XI 1 Ruturaj Gaikwad, 2 Faf du Plessis, 3 Ambati Rayudu, 4 MS Dhoni (capt & wk), 5 N Jagadeesan, 6 Ravindra Jadeja, 7 Sam Curran, 8 Mitchell Santner, 9 Deepak Chahar, 10 Monu Kumar, 11 Imran Tahir. 1 Shubman Gill, 2 Nitish Rana, 3 Rahul Tripathi, 4 Dinesh Karthik (wk), 5 Eoin Morgan (capt), 6 Sunil Narine, 7 Pat Cummins, 8 Kamlesh Nagarkoti, 9 Lockie Ferguson, 10 Varun Chakravarthy, 11 Prasidh Krishna.

Stan AF Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 How will CSKs win affect other playoff teams here?. It's all myriad now. KKR not looking like a playoff side so far. SRH, KXIP have some convincing thumping wins under their belt and have made a credible case for playoffs. But so far kkr has looked insipid and blown mostly hot and cold.

The Dark Horse Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) KKR needs to get it's batting and bowling order right. Ferguson needs to open with or without Cummins. DK needs to come at no.5 or no.6. Picking both Prasidh and Nagarkoti and giving them 2 overs each is not helping. Better pick a bowler or an all-rounder instead of one of those two. They're staring at another loss anyway.. Edited October 29, 2020 by The Dark Horse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zen Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 One of the best ways to make the tournament interesting in Group B - CSK, K11, KKR & RR: * CSK beats KKR today * RR beats K11 tomorrow So the final game is a must win KO for 3 of the teams in KKR v RR & CSK v K11 (esp. if SRH remains on 12 or less points. Plays RCB & MI at S”jah) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zen Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Similarly in Group A - MI, RCB, DC & SRH: If MI beats DC and SRH beats RCB, the final games in that group, i.e. DC v RCB & MI v SRH, would be alive too for DC, RCB & SRH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Wolf Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I think potential wise top two teams this IPL are MI & KXIP( they got the players) DC & RCB are pretty much same level & have to punch above their weight to beat above two. KKR is decent but not able to find right slot & combination.. Same case with RR. Rest are more or less mediocre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Drive Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 CSK and KKR batsmen have very less strike rate this IPL. Expecting a average scoring match between 140 - 160. The Dark Horse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
