Stan AF Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 (edited) Go KKR. My 2nd favorite team. Also another of my favorite rivalries. These two have some fantastic matches in the past. Hope to see one more today. P.S: Started this thread, as I didn't see any thread before. Edited April 18, 2021 by Stan AF coffee_rules and Austin 3:!6 1 1

Stan AF Posted April 18, 2021 Author Posted April 18, 2021 Kohli needs 56 runs to become 1st bat to make 6000 IPL runs.

QuarantineTormentino Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 Useless Christian dropped Patidar in for him... so only 3 overseas for RCB, KKR unchanged
QuarantineTormentino Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 Also wtf why can’t Kohli win tosses like these in internationals Mosher and Stan AF 2
WC2011INDIA Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 Suddenly this chusa hua chewt has started winning tosses. Lone Wolf and nevada 2
Stan AF Posted April 18, 2021 Author Posted April 18, 2021 3pm RCB win the toss and choose to bat first KKR: Nitish Rana, Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, Eoin Morgan (capt), Shakib Al Hasan, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Andre Russell, Pat Cummins, Harbhajan Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Varun Chakravarthy RCB: Virat Kohli (capt), Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, AB de Villiers (wk), Shahbaz Ahmed, Washington Sundar, Kyle Jamieson, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal Kohli: "The surface looks better than the one we played on last time. We need enough runs on the board. We're playing just three overseas players - Christian misses out and Rajat Patidar is back. He's a top player of spin. For us, it's just one game at a time and not want to be too bogged down about losses, which we have done in the past." Morgan: "We would have probably looked to do the same thing. We've kept the same team - we have plenty of options with bat and bowl. We want to end the Chennai leg of things on a high."
Stan AF Posted April 18, 2021 Author Posted April 18, 2021 Chahal is overdue on taking wickets. He normally does well in RCB and in Chennai he should be taking more wickets.

He normally does well in RCB and in Chennai he should be taking more wickets. So far he is easily the worst spinner on show in Chennai. He will be under pressure to deliver no doubt. But I expect another thrashing for him. Edited April 18, 2021 by Lone Wolf
ShoonyaSifar Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 Pitch report as per Cricbuzz - The pitch looks drier and darker and will aid spin from the start. Batting will get tougher. Is the poor Chennai curator yet to get the memo that the England tour is over and he doesn't have to doctor wickets any longer? Vickydev 1
nevada Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 RCB has only 3 overseas players today. Is this the first time a team has done so?

Forward Defence Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 Adam Zampa is slightly underrated. Probably the most consistent spinner in international white ball cricket these days. Deserved a go for RCB with Chahal performing so badly. Despite that I feel its good that rookies like Shahbaz Ahmed and Rajat Patidar are being backed by Kohli.
