PLAYER OF THE MATCH
Harsha Bhogle: Top decision to move Henriques to no 3. Warner has done it before at Sunrisers.

Harsha Bhogle: So not a close game after all.....

Yagyansh: That really was a very very fine nick and taking in account the extreme noise it was really difficult to be sure enough to go for a review. "Bingo"
Hyder: There was a nick there in Bhuvi's over, how could MS miss that. "Because even DRS (Dhoni Review System) can go wrong. "
Keshore: I feel like Bumrah can be much effective as a middle order - death over kind of bowler. He's been leaking runs upfront off late. Not someone who's known for moving the ball either ways as well. "You missed watching the series in Lanka then. He did really well with the new ball moving it appreciably, both inwards and outwards. "
Harsha Bhogle: Who said a low scoring game can't be interesting? This is a cracker of a game!

Jishnu: Why Chris Lynn is not in T20's? He can play big shots in the middle order. "He has a shoulder injury which has kept him out. "
vinay: Why not send Maxwell and put pressure on India? "The conditions are not ideal for his style of play and he is a bit out of form as well. "
Aniket kumar: In defending small totals you have to keep taking wickets. Because the opposition is just one partnership away from winning these kind of games. "Agreed. "
Somil: This match will be almost decided in the powerplay overs. "Bang on. Wickets or runs? Take your picks. "
Harsha Bhogle: Not enough runs for India, I'm afraid. If they can defend these, we have a thriller on the cards...

Caesar: Is the pitch a bit slow? or the Batsman Playing loose shots? "The wicket has got something for the bowlers, spinners and seamers alike. The batsmen also have played a few loose shots. "
Somil: How long do you think Pandya should wait before going all guns blazing? And what will be the deciding factor: overs or wickets? "Wickets always. In every format. And Pandya is just about opening up. "
Elina: All out for 99 I say. "77/7 it is. Going by the same progression it can be 99/9. Keep shooting the runs India can achieve. "
Prabath: Any particular reasons for the wicket to behave like this? Or is it top notch bowling? "TOP STUFF from the Aussies. And yes, a few bad shots as well. "
Ajit: From all indications this is a 135+ pitch. So it will be overwhelmingly Australia's game or a close fought victory. "The calculators are out. IMHO, it is a 150 wicket. "
Sujnan: This situation is a bit tricky for Pandya right now! It will be interesting to see whether he plays a bit safely or he will just rock it from the word GO! "The Pandya way of dealing things has attack as the priority. Pandya vs Zampa, round 3 begins! "
Shubham: A fact that nobody can deny for sure is that having Ash or Jaddu (or Axar) at 8 prolongs the batting line-up and also adds experience. Two wrist spinners is definitely not a way forward for India in the long-run (unless their batting abilities can be honed). "Captain Kohli and you don't seem to be on the same page mate! "
Harsha Bhogle: The greatness in that catch by David Warner lay in the distance he covered running back. Example of a top fielder making things look easy.

Alan: D.K is much better batsman than Manish and K.J , I don't understand why Kholi didn't pick him in the Indian team. "Wont enter the debate of who is better but yes there is a case for Dinesh Karthik to have a look in. May be next game. "
Harsha Bhogle: That was as frenetic a five over burst of cricket as any you will see.

Vishal: So Indian Top order made sure that Dhoni gets a chance to play tonight . Get ready for Dhoni show. "How the people of Ranchi would be feeling now?" But would he fire tonight?"
Devesh: Today we are going to see the real strength of Indian middle and lower middle order. Are they capable? "They have done well of late. Another chance for them to prove their mettle. "
Yash: Looks like Rohit has made the habit of hitting a boundary off the very first ball every time he bats. "And also a habit of getting out to in-swingers from left-armers. Remember Amir?"
