Fun game, though admittedly only because of some dodgy cricket especially that dropped Watson catch off Bumrah which would probably have finished the game right there.
I though the Dhoni runout should have gone the other way; there was clearly some serious doubt and the batsman has to get the benefit.
I was happy to see Malinga winning the day after a dreadful over that brought CSK back into it. I wonder if this will be the final hurrah of his cricketing career.
But the champion at the end of the day was Bumrah; who has to rank among the all-time great death bowlers. Really appreciated his smile after the dropped catch too. Hope he can bring it at the World Cup.

In general I prefer the BBL, but have to admit that this has been true this year. Bloody good IPL, while the BBL went through a real lull in the middle.

Where are you getting all this fakenews from? Whatsapp perhaps?
Facebook and it is not fake.

Now this is all over, can someone explain to me why Rajasthan keep throwing so much money at Jaydev Unadkat?

This has baffled me for a while; but I think I have finally arrived at the answer.
These Royals guys want to see a few CricketWeb posters (or maybe just one CricketWeb poster), running around, frothing at the mouth, raving about how much less money this Indian Unadkat would have made if only he was South African. These rich guys, with more than enough money to burn, can spend exorbitant amounts for just a little amusement.
He had the best stats of any bowler in IPL 2017 in the era of peak Bhuvi and ascendant Bumrah. Won MoM's. Some decent fielding and death bowling and a Hat-Trick. And a 5WI. He later went on to win a MoS award for India admittedly against Sri Lanka but Bhuvi and Bumrah also played IIRC.
Good Indian seamers are super-rare, so it wasn't a big surprise to see the two rebirthed teams after RPS's death going after him in the auction. CSK prob. because Dhoni must have rated him and RR because they were building their whole base from scratch and decided to fall back upon a 'no-expense-spared' ideology after their previous moneyballing came out to be a complete flop. Nobody thought it was insane that he went for the price he did in 2018. 2019 was certainly a surprise given he was released by the same team.
The only way to justify it is that RR thought that his 2018 season was an outlier (rather than his 2017 season) and he would come back to some form if backed long enough. Clearly other teams thought that too which is why he was subjected to a bidding war.

Unadkat has to be the luckiest cricketer millionaire. And who knows, might end up a billionaire if the right stars are aligned.
