Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders, 5th Match, Indian Premier League, 2018 - CommentaryCSK vs KKR, 5th Match, Indian Premier League, 2018 - Commentary

Harsha Bhogle: And again! I have heard noise before but not this.

Harsha Bhogle: Two great shots, as good as any you will see, from Billings. Some player!

Kevin: Where was this Watson while playing with RCB?

Harsh: Anyone still talking about not playing Rayudu as an opener?

Harsha Bhogle: Game on! The wrist spinners in the power play is the reason Rayudu came in ahead of Billings

Bhadu: Rajasthan Royals would agree on a re-auction and will use a RTM for Watson now, I guess!

Harsha Bhogle: Now that is why KKR were so keen to have Andre Russell back.

Ranvijay: CSK should be cursing themselves that why they took 5 wickets within 10 overs after this Russell show.

Karthik: Cricket is a weird game. The hero of the previous match (Bravo) scores a fifty while (bowling)!!

Ram: @cricbuzz Please publish six's distances also. Might be a good piece of information especially in IPL -- 105m & 97m - two of the biggest hits tonight (by Russell)

Rohan: Dre Russ making great use of being able to come in early to bat. Something the likes of Pollard should be doing more often for Mumbai Indians.

Gaurav: I think DK should also get going, as there is also chawla and co who can hit it out of the park. -- He got you.

Maddy Joseph: @Boopathi What should we Bangaloreans do? We have our players in all teams playing against Bangalore.

Boopathi: I'm little confused about whom should I support? Chennai guy playing against Chennai team! -- You are not the only one facing this dilemma. There are many!!

MV: Imagine if someone is caught by Bravo and it's bowled by Tahir. Bravo will dance on the field while Tahir will run out to the Marina Beach. Scenes! -- Waiting for that to happen.

Harsha Bhogle: Two captains. One, out and out Chennai-ite. The other, well, currently he is Chennai!

Dushyant: Why aren't KKR playing Shubhman Gill? He has to start ahead of this Rinku Singh in the starting line-up, no offense!! -- Your wish might be fulfilled in the next match, I think.

Rishav Jalan: Time for Russell to prove his worth after the faith the management has showed in him by not letting go of him last year when he was banned and retaining him this year.

Subhadip Ghosh: KKR needs to stabilize.. DK is perfect for that. Brilliant tactics from captain cool.. From this point the game is in favour of CSK.

Avnish: Its sad to see some people throwing shoes out there????????... It would do bad bad to CSK fans who are supporting there team with full enthusiasm !!

Keshore: Good work from KKR to keep the momentum going despite losing Lynn and Narine. CSK though have picked wickets at crucial junctures. Such an evenly contested game so far.

Benjamin: Chepauk had always been a turning pitch. Is this a different track? What should be the par score? -- 180, I reckon.

hemanth: 7 bowling options + raina, talk about variety in the attack... MSD has one of the best teams at his disposal

MrMenon: There are 5 keepers playing in the game today - Dhoni, Karthik, Uthappa, Billings, Rayudu.

Manu: @"Yogesh from New York"- You can never take cricket out of an Indian.

R Bahl: Sitting in Canada and working in office, no live commentary beats @Cricbuzz , without you guys i can never imagine playing a fantasy league.

Harsha Bhogle: Very different from Dhoni today. 5 bowlers in the first 5 overs. Suspect using spin is a ploy against the big hitting Lynn.

Arsalan: What captaincy from MSD... Brings Harbhajan and gets a big fish.. So no fireworks from Narine today.. Now lets see how he deals with B'day boy Chris Lynn.

Yogesh from New York: On paper (and based on the first games of these two teams), KKR looks the more formidable outfit. Should be a mouthwatering game today.

Adhvaid: Thanks @cricbuzz for giving the entire atmosphere of the game. Comes as a lucky break, when your grandparents want to watch their serials on TV!!!

Vignesh: So far, the Indian debutants, uncapped players and bench reserves - Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Krunal Pandya, Deepak Chahar, Mayank Markande, Rishabh Pant, Lokesh Rahul, Karun Nair, Mandeep Singh, Nitish Rana, Siddarth Kaul - have been impressive than most of most of the Big Guns.

ravi: Can I choose Sunil Narine in my fantasy team? -- Why not!

Harsha Bhogle: The captains are ready, the commentator for the toss is ready but the officials, apparently, aren't here yet.

Hemant: In fantasy league should I pick all rounders or spinners for today's match? -- Shane Watson/Andre Russell - one of them for sure.

Sumanth Surapaneni: If MSD wins the toss I feel CSK should bat first instead of bowling because here at Chepauk it's better to defend a total rather than chasing it.

Bala: "How is the ground reality around the stadium with all the protests and threats?" -- 'Nothing near the main gate,' says Kaushik
