Indian Premier League - General Discussion

And eventually SRH will get crushed.

Jokes on you. We have nothing to lose in this game. So crushed or no crushed, it doesn't matter

Atleast not struggling at the bottom of the table and have the audacity to claim crushing a 5-time Champion.

MI fans should feel proud that every one else is "shit scared" of them and want to see the back of them before the playoffs begin. Everyone, including the experts who cover the tournament, talks about how the sleeping giant could suddenly arise and make their killing yet again........ But as with life, no one likes a giant to keep killing it season after season after season. The fall has to come sometime.... People like "rising from the ashes" than the story of "staying at the top and repeatedly killing it".

MI havent become a bad team at all. Just some bad form at crucial times.

RCB have decided not to go after the No. 2 spot and have decided to bowl first! Smart choice from them, as a win today will help them get into a good momentum for the Eliminators. Going for the impossible and getting another defeat can put them on the same slope that CSK is in right now, and you dont want that.

MI win the toss and bat first! And well.... Williamson and Bhuvi excuse themselves and Manish captains the side! Manish walks into the XI and immediately captains it? Why not Rashid Khan or Holder? Or if they wanted an Indian captain - why not Priyam Garg, who is a U-19 WC captain who led India to the final of the 2020 U-19 WC? Have a feeling the stars are falling into MI's horizon to do the impossible.

For sure we feel proud of how we made teams work hard match after match even where we failed to win we have ensured that others sides don't get away easily unlike the RCB & KKR games in this UAE leg.

Most of the seasons since the 2013 edition are like they build a team from the core and next year they are up and running and this is why I feel they are managed really well over the years.

What it did was that it constantly helped us get some fresh legs season after season when our experienced players gave up. Smith-Sachin duo was replaced by Lendl-Parthiv and is taken over by Rohit-De Kock

Rayudu got replaced by SKY
Bhajji got replaced by Rahul Chahar
Malinga-Johnson got replaced by Boult-Bumrah

And this will just keep going. Few seasons in between we would be down and out but next season we would wake up and stand tall. This is the way MI have played these 14 years.

Okay.

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Safe to say Mumbai are going for it

 

[Bigby Wolf]

Lol MI are going with all guns blazing.

 

[NILAYSHAH60]

Carnage have come to an end!

Hence proved. Money cannot buy everything.

Krunal's wicket is a blessing in disguise for MI. NCN can whack a few.

Assuming MI make 250, they have about 80 odd runs to play with and that is still a possibility. KKR might be very uneasy right now.

If SRH get out for less than 100 on this pitch, Twitter and the “Ambani” theories will explode the internet

How many overs do RCB need to chase this in?
