If Gill fires again he should keep his and his family and friends away from Instagram from Dehati Chokli audience and force BCCI to dump his a** from ICT

For RCB to win, it needs to be at its best.  RCB chances improve if it is playing teams like itself that have the tendency to crack under pressure like PBKS, DC, etc. 

 

Last year, seeing PBKS in the final, I had said that it is RCB’s game to lose.

 

This year with GT in the final, GT is more likely to win against almost any team. For it to lose, RCB has to play outstanding cricket or GT has to have a terrible game. Anything in between those two extremes, GT is the favorite.

Also RCB has won 4 games outside of its home venues - Bengaluru and Raipur. Of those away venues - 2 games were in Dharamshala, 1 in Wankhede, and the game at Delhi where DC had an off day.

Technically raipur is neutral venue for rcb n Dharmashala one match.. Rcb didn't play home game after first half of ipl.. that means rcb played 8 matches continously in neutral/away venues.. literally no home advantage for rcb after their first 7 matches

Raipur is as much a home venue for RCB as Gauhati is for RR, and Dharamshala is for PBKS. 
 

These are all home venues for the respective teams.

Does not matter. Home venue = home venue.

Home venue = home venue. Same is the case with RR in Gauhati and PBKS in Dharamshala. 
 

I don’t know what you are trying to achieve there with pointless comments! You are free to think whatever you want :dontknow:

IPL Finals should be on a saturday. All major sporting finals happens on a saturday...so that people can enjoy and relax next day.

 

Why keep it on a sunday? When will we learn?

Unlike in the West, in India, Saturday is a working day so the final is scheduled on Sunday, a holiday, I guess :dontknow:

 

Holding the final on a Saturday in India could be like holding a final on a Friday in the West or on a Thursday in the Middle East.
