Harsha Bhogle: Great illustration today of why set batsmen must finish the game. This is an epic collapse from Delhi Capitals.
Harsha Bhogle: Great illustration today of why set batsmen must finish the game. This is an epic collapse from Delhi Capitals.
Kaushik: Rabada saved Delhi the last day with the ball...Can he save them today with the bat??
Sam: Pressure or over-confidence? What is it that Delhi finds themselves in this position after a comfortable one? -- Inexperience, Sam inexperience..
PR: This exact scenario will be the difference between DC and the eventual champions. DC have young and talented players but experience is scarce. Morris gave his wicket away due to pressure and now they are on a downward spiral. Hope they resolve this somehow.
Adnan Saeed: The game is at par now, Delhi are doing a Daredevil here, audacious. Morris and Pant threw it away in the previous over. Imperative for Ingram to bring his experience to the fore here. -- Even he's gone..
Arun G Nair: Super over coming up???? They did the same in last match.. -- On the cards..
Nimish Kashyap: I am coming up here to check scores every 5 mins interval, and I see a boundary in every over. Ingram getting exactly what is required. DC shouldn't lose from here.

Utsav Amitendu Agarwal: I think IPL could introduce a mid season player swapping mechanism. Could be an X-factor as the tournament progresses since a lot of quality players are bench warming and a few teams are struggling with their team balances.
Srujan Belde: This is DC's game to lose from here. They can prove that youngsters are not just talented but also very much consistent in the game.
Pradeep: In hindsight, players swap between SRH and DC has done well for both teams. SRH needed a reliable middle-order batsman and DC needed a solid opener. I wish some other teams also try swapping SRH bowlers who are warming the bench.
Adhyuth: A few silent overs here by Punjab will put Pant and Dhawan under pressure. Keeping Pant silent is going to be the real challenge.
Adnan Saeed: Well another start wasted by the Delhi skipper, he hasn't hit the screws yet this IPL.
Rishi: Dhawan's anchor role gotta be key in this run chase. The RR is not high, so DC can afford his 100-120 strike rate, but need him to be there as long as possible!
Adnan Saeed: Terrific start from the skipper. Just what the doctor ordered. If KXIP get into the middle order of Capitals early, they have enough experience in their bowling ranks.
Adnan Saeed: Two wickets in the powerplay and Delhi will be pegged back. Shami will be looking forward to do good against his former franchise. -- They have one
Anant: "KXIP look at least 20 runs short from where they were at one stage."
Mukund: "Leaving Miller, I think the KXIP still miss a good finisher. Moises Henriques has done well for SRH and will be handy with the ball as well."
Bipul Bhattarai from Nepal: "27/2 in a track where scoring is a lot easier. Well done Sandeep!"
Shyam: "@Dev That's exactly why RCB gave him the finisher role. When you have the arguably best players in the world, you give them more time and these 'cute' 30s or 40s from Sarfaraz will make the difference in the end."
Dev: "RCB gave young Sarfaraz the finisher's role, which was too hot for him to handle. But KXIP gave him the middle-order role, for which he turned up well so far. Take a note about utilizing resources differently."
KasMaalam: "KXIP have 6 who can bat + Ashwin (7th). 6 who can bowl with introduction of Curran.
They look more balanced today than earlier."
Amar: "@Deepika, I felt last year KXIP lost momentum in the 2nd half due to change in home ground and Ashwin did very well with the squad he had at his disposal."
Deepika Sharma: "I have been following IPL very closely and I feel Ashwin takes a lot of risks initially which makes him pay later on like last year where they were miserable in the second half."
Shunya Lal: "@all Curran = Narine commentators - A) One measly innings of 20 runs on a pitch conducive to batting. b) Gayle is not retired so that slot is not open. c) counting your currency before it's matured - chill folks."
Saquib Arshad: "Iyer should save Rabada for the death overs, he is efficient then."
Mohit: "Ashwin's captaincy is double-edged. You can never predict what he will do next...but full marks to him for risk-taking."
Kartheeek Y: "Problem with Rahul is inconsistency. He will score a 100 or a 50 when we feel that today is the last match for him, just like Dhawan."
Hari: "Here Ashwin has done a Gambhir here by making Curran to open like Gambhir made Naraine to."
Shubham: "It will be interesting to see Sam Curran's ability to tackle spin bowling. Might be that's why they sent him at the top."
Utsav Amitendu Agarwal: "KXIP should be eyeing a 200+ score today, given the form that Shaw and Pant have had early in the tournament, specially while chasing."
Keshav: "Perfect April fools joke for fantasy league players."
Akshay dev: "Today's match is very important for both the teams to carry the winning momentum from the last match and today's Punjab team looks very good after return of Mujeeb, who is a wicket taking option in both powerplay and non-powerplay overs."
