Why did Patidar use spin in the 18th and 20th over? Bit baffling. Would've been an even bigger win But clinical performance nonetheless

MSD cant hit spin. I actually think there would have been few more boundaries had the seamers bowled more. RCB definitely looking like one of the top teams and the early loss to SRH will make it a better chance for them to finish top 2.

But we have seen this movie before with RCB when they start well and burn out really really soon.

Ashwin and Jadeja have contributed more to Indian cricket than Dhoni . They deserve a better class of fans .

@Sunil1z - you seem to always post with an agenda. I dont think its as bad as the boos Hardik got in Mumbai all last year. This will forever be a CSK thing.

And in case you forgot, the last player who got this treatment was Tendulkar and yet you surprisingly never talk about how bad it was that Dravid's wciket was cheered so often in India. Chill out, bro, its a crowd they can cheer for whomever they want.

My point is Dhoni is finished. He doesn’t deserve such blind support . CSK should treat him as normal cricketer . And Dhoni should also retire from IPL .

The world need not work the way you think. Others can have their thoughts too. :)

And they have been more right than you are. So chill.

RCB have never had a start like this probably in their entire history

Two dominant wins away from home to start off against teams that you have a poor record is a statement

I dont see them winning it because they don't have a world class spinner but they look good to make the playoffs.

I think you will change your opinion by the end of this season 😊
Mate, my opinion did not change after 2020. And there is no opinion to change here. People can cheer whom they like. And everything I posted so far is just facts. Nothing that happens in future will negate that they are facts.

Jeez you aim small. You made playoffs with a far worse team last time. :laugh:

The key is Hazlewood. If he can stay injury free, you will do well. If he injures himself as usual, it will be very very tough. Bhuvi cant hold up the bowling by himself and the batsmen wont get as lucky as they did today, everytime.

Rcb should make the knockouts from here. I still want to see how they go at Bengaluru though. There death bowling is non-existant, suyash hasn't been great in more helpful decks and I don't see dayal and Livingstone doing much in the middle there.

I think they KO'd CSK in the powerplay in this game. 30/3 chasing 200 in the PP should almost always result in the chasing side losing the game. I think Bengaluru can also be pretty nippy in the nights with the new ball. As I said, more than anything else, Haze's fitness is what RCB's chances hangs on, IMO.

I think I mentioned RCB along with SRH and PBKS looks the top tier outfit based on the first couple of rounds. CSK and a couple of others are in the middle pack and then you have the bottom 4. But the beauty of the IPL with the auction and equal spend is that any team can beat anyone on their night. Lucknow did that.
