Who is going to be Gujarat Titans' opponent, on May 29th? That's going to be the crucial question from now.

I've got a feeling that RR would walkover GT in the Playoffs. Maybe we can expect an RR vs SRH Final?

The play-offs might throw up some surprises. Remember, the teams will be playing on altogether different ground than what they have been used to. Might take some time to adjust. However, by the looks of it, GT, RR and SRH should seal their spots. The 4th one is tricky- could be a toss up between LSG, DC and KKR/RCB.

What impact if it doesn't help you win the game?

Probably a little unfair given that he had done his job splendidly and got let down by another bowler. If not for him, GT would have won by 15-20 balls still left to bowl.

KKR a mess of a team this year. All this big talk of an aggressive approach won't come to fruition if they're playing musical chairs in their batting order with players never given a fixed batting number. It wouldn't make it easy for Venky Iyer to score runs if you're batting him 5 or 6 randomly when he's done well as an opener. Nor would is playing Narine playing at random spots in the batting order working. Umesh's dip in form doesn't help, but the main contributing cause is they're playing too many different players and shifting them all over the batting order. Can't say KKR making the playoffs is probable as of now.

Yeah I rate Shreyas Iyer but he isn't a shade on one of the greatest white ball captains of all time.

What a shambolic mess India's future captains look like! Pant was so bad tonight and his batting is destructive but I have no idea what's going on since a year.

Quick question-

Would Virat Kohli the captain, pick Virat Kohli the batter today?

@SaiSrini is it time for us to say "Welcome to the club to @WutUpMahGlipGlops" ?

Edit: KKR have lost 5 matches in a row now.

Like @Velocity says, chopping and changing doesn't help to embed an aggressive approach. You need to back your players when they fail. If the order, and players, are always changing, then players are looking over their shoulder and more likely to play within themselves.

KKR are the most pathetic franchise after RCB since GG. They spent 15 crores on Cummins and Mavi and they are both on the bench!!
