Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings, 8th Match, Indian Premier League, 2018 - CommentaryRCB vs PBKS, 8th Match, Indian Premier League, 2018 - Commentary

Jayesh Petkar: Another Last over Finish. Phew! , This IPL has surely got off to a best possible start. #TrueCricketFan

Pranay Deep ‏@SPranayDeep: Seems like I don't need nail-cutter any more! Every match is making me bite my nails!

praneeth: RCB should have flexible batting order. Sending in Mandeep after Virat and saving ABD for the 10th over onwards would have been a better option. Mandeep could have settled well. ABD is a genius who can bat at any position.

Ebrahim: India - produce outstanding batsmen. Pakistan - produce outstanding left arm bowlers. England - produce outstanding all rounders. Afghanistan - produce outstanding leg spinners. Such a contribution to cricket.

Sonath: Brave move from Ashwin to bowl his 4th over after being hit for runs.

Shahryaar Mirza ‏ @SamJr08: With Afghani cricket flourishing, I really wish to see Mohammad Shahzad in the IPL! An absolute entertainer!

Ankit Srivastava: Taking only positives from this match. KL Rahul is exuding superb class. Mujeeb ur Rehman is in another dimension. IPL this season has knocked down all cliches and young players are taking charge. Looking forward to seeing some fine, fine cricket in the future.

Venky @Venky45034997: Too much dependence on overseas players. Is there any team which has played with less than 4 overseas players ever in IPL? -- Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals, Kings XI Punjab, Kolkata Knight Riders and Gujarat Lions have done that in the past.

Panuganti Kiran: "Mujeeb Ur Rahman, my dear power player, please notch some wickets and get me some fantasy points!"

Mohit Singh Chauhan: Afghanistan's brothers of destruction - Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman.

Ankit Dutta: A 17-Year Boy is taking wicket of Virat Kohli, Making his parents proud. This is a strong message to the teenagers who run for a girl. Run for your dreams instead of chasing a girl. Make your parents proud.

Ashwini Kumar Singh ‏@Itzashwini: All upon ABD now... will be interesting to see how ABD operates against Ashwin. -- de Kock there's too.

Zoheb sayani @zoheb_sayani: Season of mystery spinners, isn't it? Mujeeb getting Kohli. Markande getting Dhoni. Loving it !!

Pranay Deep @SPranayDeep: Spinners to start for KXIP ?? Hmm... interesting decision. There must be something on Ashwin's mind.

Arpit Nagar: Ashwin - the captain that KXIP required? His intelligence in cricket was always hidden behind MS's captaincy. Smart, reading the batsman well, and a proven match winner he is!

@MeanMindMe: Ashwin - the captain that KXIP required? His intelligence in cricket was always hidden behind the MS's captaincy. Smart, reading the batsman well, and a proven match winner he is!

DD: Virat Kohli vs Ravichandran Ashwin, an interesting battle to watch. -- Yes, the battle of skippers!

Sahil Garg: "Parliament must be shifted to the Cricbuzz app. At least here, discussions occur" -- We wholeheartedly deny those charges

ayushman: "everyone debating about who is whose find...let's say that all these players have been unearthed by the IPL and we are lucky that these gems are playing for our country. Hence shows how important this league is." -- I think that sums up the debate, doesn't it

Prasad: "All those commenting that Chahal was a MI find, then Rahul played for SRH but they were never known to cricketing world" -- KL Rahul actually played the 2013 season with RCB before moving to SRH for a year

Keshav: "I have chipped in later than usual but I've seen one of the best debates on a cricketing app.. Kudos to all users!" -- I know, right. Let's hold our heads high.

Adwitiya: "@Bharath: Disagree. Kohli was already a famous world cup winning captain - so not a talent discovered by RCB. Manish Pandey hasn't cemented his spot yet. Chahal, as someone said, was a MI find. A find is someone like Bumrah or Hardik Pandya."

Nikhil Purohit: "@Ganesh @Yash @shubh @Bharat and others - Talking about producing talents, how can someone forget RR, the real Talent Factory. Yusuf, Rahane, Samson, and tens of others."

Vaibhav Sureka: "@Daksh, Chahal hardly got games when he was playing for MI. So it was RCB who gave him matches and the confidence as well."

Ranjith: "Enough arguments about Chahal. He was first picked by Mumbai Indians who are good at scouting!!"

Daksh: "@tarunjit, Chahal was a find of Mumbai Indians! He played for Mumbai before playing For Bangalore."

Bharath: "@Ganesh @Yash @Shubh, I don't completely agree with this. RCB, over the years have definitely groomed talents. To name a few - Kohli, Chahal, Manish Pandey. The reason they haven't won is, perhaps, that everything hasn't clicked for them at a time, and at the right times."

Happily Insane: "@Ganesh, I think you are forgetting that there's a reason why RCB has retained Sarfaraz Khan this year and why they are giving him chances often. Chahal received his national call solely because of his performance in IPL. Not to mention that Virat Kohli is also part of RCB since his rookie days"

Harsha Bhogle: It is always about wickets. And though Kings XI have played some stunning shots, the wickets lost are going to hurt them badly

Tanujit: "@Ganesh Bhagwat, where did Chahal come from then?"

shubh: "agree with Ganesh. Just look at Mumbai Indians, they have been like the talent factory of IPL: Bumrah, Pandya brothers are the best examples" -- And now Mayank Markande in the making!

Yash: "@Ganesh Bhagwat, the reason RCB do not produce talent is that they pack their squad will star players"

Blue: "@cricbuzz, In the Washington Sundar context, should Bravo never bowl for CSK again, giving 50 in the last match?" -- Guess we together were trying to reason why Sundar bowled so late in the match, right?

Ganesh Bhagwat: "I think the main reason why RCB don't win is because they don't produce new talents like other teams do" -- Hmm, interesting point. What do others have to say on this?

Yusuf: "Wait, where is Washington Sundar? Your powerplay specialist didn't bowl in the powerplay and there are no signs yet.. what is Kohli up to?"-- I think RCB's last match against KKR has a lot to do with it. Sundar registered figures of 4-0-48-1

Sahil: "Imagine if RCB had retained Rahul..."

Aasim: "The new decade of IPL seems to bring the best out of Umesh Yadav. He is a much better bowler than his records in limited-over formats. Hope this continues for better part of this season."

Rishav Dharewal: "Am not a fan of playing past my prime. Can't see a legend like Yuvraj take so much criticism. Got to retire, buddy"

varunreedychills: " Them - 'Chinnaswamy is a batting pitch.' Umesh Yadav - 'Hold my beer!'"

Armaan: "I was hoping this would be Mayank Agrawal's breakthrough IPL. So far, doesn't look like it though" -- Looked in good touch today. Let's hope he comes through. Nobody deserves it more

Harsha Bhogle: Wow, I am trying to remember the last time I saw Umesh Yadav on fire like this. This is serious fast bowling.

Harsha Bhogle: What a start to this game. The first 4 overs had it all. Clean hitting, quality fast bowling.....not short of action.

Gaurav Kapur: Looks like the imposter from last year has left the building. This pitch looks like the Chinnaswamy of 2016. Run feast for the batters

DIAMOND: "This is Rahul's IPL, surely?" -- We were just discussing that. Don't think Sanju Samson and Mayank Markande are much behind

Atharv: "What's happened to KL Rahul?" -- Error 404, bad form not found

Mohit Singh Chauhan: "KL Rahul should also look for a county stint after IPL" -- Umm okay, but what's county cricket?

Da Bolt: "Why have RCB not won an IPL yet despite having a good lineup?" -- I think, as RCB fans, some of my friends have found their quarter-life crisis sufferings easier than finding an answer to the question you asked. "This year, surely?" read our season preview for RCB...

Harmandar Singh: "I'm a bowler; I can't tweet anything funny when match is taking place the Chinnaswamy stadium" -- Think you might already be a year late in tweeting!

DHAIRYA: "What is the weather in Bangalore? any chance of rain?" -- Of a different kind, Dhairya

Pranay Deep: Baz, ABD, Virat, Gayle, Finch, Yuvi, Miller...!! Haven't seen these many hard hitters in a single game ever before

Sourabh Sharma: It's better if you complete your important work before IPL matches starts. The love (addiction) toward cricket will not let you do anything else.

Paresh: I m here since 15 minutes.. so that i can get some clue about the players practicing on the ground so that i can make some last changes to my fantasy 11...

Tyson Roy Sarkar: I want ABD, Baz And Kohli To Blast It Off With The Willow, And Umesh, Spin Twins To Rip It Through The Woodwork...
