Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings, 18th Match, Indian Premier League, 2018 - CommentaryKKR vs PBKS, 18th Match, Indian Premier League, 2018 - Commentary

Anil: Target should have been around 140 in 13 overs considering KXIP have all 10 wickets in hand. "Fair to say, KXIP earned that by virtue of their stunning start"

DS: DLS method has made the chase more easy than it was looking when Punjab were batting. We need a new system instead of DLS. "Don't you think it's a fair target for the team that's dominating?"

Jishan: KL Rahul does deserve a go at the top for India. We could push down Rohit to number 4 and it would also solve the Indian middle order problem. Middle order of Rohit, Karthik and Dhoni can be both solid and attacking. Top order of Dhawan, Rahul and Kohli. Cannot get better than this. Isn't it?

Jasmeet Singh: I think its raining in Eden what the DLS par score after 8 overs. "It's definitely raining and the DLS par score after 8.2 overs is 65"

Gajendra: Now that Nitish Rana completed 1 ball of Russel's over... will he be allowed to bowl 4.1 overs in the match? 'No, he can bowl a maximum of 3 more overs'

Harsh: KXIP is performing withut getting much support from Yuvi and Finch . Guess how destructive side they could be if anyone of them gets his form

Madhav: Why is Ashwin not bowling traditional offies these days? Too many variations SMH -- Chances of right-handers smashing traditional offies for big runs is much higher, hence the variations.

sandeep singh: Are we to witness third century of this IPL from Lynn today? Quite possible

Yash: @Ranjithkumar-Do Punjab not have too many natural openers already playing in the middle order?

Harsha Bhogle: You never waste form. Robin Uthappa is batting beautifully and making 30s. He's getting KKR off to excellent starts but not delivering, yet, the match winning innings.

Ranjithkumar: @shyam- According to me Axar patel fall in that category. KXIP can utilize him the same way KKR are utilizing Narine

Kunal Allawadi: KKR should give a chance to Shubman Gill to open the innings with Lynn. One good innings will also boost his confidence. Batting in powerplay will allow him to play his natural game and showcase his talent. Batting at 7 not suitable for this young talented guy.

Shyam: When Narine bats well, it is a great bonus for the team. When he fails, it doesn't do much damage either. So much freedom from pressure. Is there any other player in the world who falls into this category?

Hariharan Pavakkal: 2 interesting facts in today's matches ... Ashwin vs Karthik (Tamil Nadu), Kohli vs Gambhir ( Delhi).

subbu: Pretty eager to see the tactics of an Engineer- Cap - Ashwin
