bowl_out Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 1 hour ago, zen said: New game tomorrow but GT’s best performance batting first is against RR irc … and GT has chased well against RR too Yeah. I didn't say winning is certain.. but somehow get the feeling that GT is more vulnerable batting first than batting second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vvvslaxman Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 (edited) After 5 years it is Non-CSK/MI final. Usually these two teams send these "inform" teams in the final or semi final packing. This time both finalists are in unknown territory. No threat from Mafia teams. RR in final after 14 years?

Norman Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 RR has a big advantage of having already played on this wicket and ground. They should definitely win. GT had too good of a season to be true for a team that is led by Hardik Pandya. A giant sized bubble is going to burst tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Also I never like new winners. It'll be no fun watching a league where 6 out of the 10 teams have all won it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffee_rules Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 (edited) Picking GT. They are a fearless team. No problems with RR , they have Prasidh and Devdutt, but Modi clinches the fight. Who picks a Gehlot ruled state for a win? Edited May 29 by coffee_rules asterix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the contrary, that is what makes the IPL so exciting. So many teams that can genuinely challenge for the title. Its better than having a duopoly/ three teams dominating across eras.

Anyways, many posters here are recently grown up kids typing something on social media to explore their depth (so the opposite of what is written is usually more accurate) Vijy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vijy Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I will be surprised if GT lose this one. with their bowling, it should be quite easy to get into the flabby/shaky no. 4-7 of RR; only Jos stands in the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s their main batsman who’s been doing most of the scoring. Vijy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
