I am not debating. For me that is the case 

All good. MI lost. Nobody cares. It shows even in the poll at the top of the page.

Tilak messed up. Should have rotated strike. David was hitting it cleanly. 

 

David hits only full tosses. Once the ball is pitched up his timing was way off. He got lucky with two full tosses.

Happy for Punjab. A young team showed up and ripped into one of the bigger names

Atleast 2 indian main team player shown good form (Arshdeep and SKY) otherwise others are pretty useless.

Nepo Kid trending on Twitter.

Arshdeep has revealed that he has shortened his run up to avoid no balls

@maniac  Seems like SKY failed to finish once more

At this point I am happy for him that  he is getting some runs lol

Man must be tough to be Arjun Tendulkar. He is not worse than some of the other domestic players we have seen this year.

 

yes he is a trundler but not the worst to ever play IPl

At the end of the day, this was an entertaining game of cricket. 

 

For MI, it needed one of the top 4 esp. those who played enough balls to close the game. For PK, it was one of the coolest death overs performances - first scoring close to 100 runs in the last 5 overs and then some good death bowling that either increased the RRR or kept MI only close to it meaning that MI never got ahead of the game. 

 

MI is playing at almost full strength of its current squad with players playing almost at their potential, it is about maintaining consistency with the bat (there could be games where MI could be 50/4), while PK has a scope of improvement with Dhawan expected to come back and Livingston poised to fire at some point.

Curran leading from the front by promoting himself in batting while chuskis worship that fraud Dhoni who hides behind Jaddu and Santner….

MI cannot afford to play two super trundlers Behen C Dorf & Nepokid in the same team. On top they have replaced Meredith who’s bowled decently.. Archer is not up to his prime and won’t give his full effort. With Shokeen as another spinner, it has the weakest bowling line up. Super idiot team management.

 

Meredith needs to replace Behen C Dorf if Dulkars insist that Nepokid plays…

MI also has seasoned Akash Madhwal on the bench and Sandeep Warrier.

We don't have good indian talent in the team.

Use Dhoni's strategy of making something out of useless Indian talents :)
