Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders, 23rd Match, Indian Premier League 2019 - CommentaryCSK vs KKR, 23rd Match, Indian Premier League 2019 - Commentary

Harsha Bhogle: The only relationship between city and player in Indian cricket to match Dhoni and Chennai is probably Tendulkar and Mumbai. In contemporary cricket this level of adulation is unmatched.

Nikhil: "Wonder if these pitches will affect CSK batsmen in terms of being able to step up and score big on batting-friendly tracks."

Arman: "Nothing wrong with the pitch, its the poor shot selection and impatience from KKR players. Had they been patient, they could have added 30 runs and CSK would be struggling."

Mahidhar: "If Kohli had the option of mid-season trading he himself would definitely go to CSK :D"

Soumya: "KKR needs to use Brathwaite otherwise it's meaningless to splash the cash for him. Drop Lynn, use Gill up the order and field Brathwaite."

Pranay Arora: "KKR's schedule off late has been really tough, and should be considered a reason for such a tiresome performance. 3 consecutive matches at 3 different away venues, and having only a one day gap between all of them."

Ankush: "Kedar Jadhav is so under utilized in this team. If Kohli had the option of mid-season trading he would definitely have gone for Kedar."

Bharath: "To everyone: I don't mind a 140-150 pitch. Remember Sunrisers last year. That was entertaining. But a 110-120 pitch is really bad."

Harsha Bhogle: Sluggish track, sluggish over-rates, sluggish cricket.

chaitanya: "@himanshu verma : if that is the case why couldn't kings XI win the last time while chasing.. I don't think you deserve to win if you cannot deal with spin. Besides I think kkr are too doing decent by picking early wickets. Just their batsmen let them down."

Selva: "Prasidh Krishna reminds me of Ishant Sharma with the bounce and pace."

Sabarinathan: "@himanshu: It's the same ground where CSK defended twice this season! Just saying!!"

Himanshu Verma: "The pitch in Chennai is below standard for the IPL and also the large amount of dew gives undue advantage to the chasing team. The final should be shifted from Chennai."---- Strong opinion.

Jigar: "With 3 quality spinners, score around 130 would have been decent. KKR bowlers need to perform extraordinarily well to pull this one off."

Prabhath: "Come on Russell, you can finish with a six."

Revant: "I think the key against CSK is patience. Get a decent total in first fifteen with less than 2 to 3 wickets and go big in last five." ---- Punjab tried this tactic in the last match and they also failed.

Jigar: "Andre Russell has to do for KKR what Pollard did for Mumbai few nights ago against SRH."

Mohineesh: "If the score goes above 120-130 that would be a fighting total for CSK to chase!! Keeping in mind KKR have three quality spinners."

Harsha Bhogle: Harbhajan drops a skier from Russell, is down on the ground in agony, Tahir charges across to lift him up. The little things that tell you about a team.

Nithin John: "Looking at the score, I had to double check if it is KKR vs CSK or RCB vs CSK."

Dheeraj: "KKR taking the cliche seriously :- "Make your best batsman play the most number of balls seriously by making Russell come so early in the innings!!!!"

saibhaskar kollu: "Now, Russel should build partnership rather playing his natural game and then explode in the final overs."

Shyam: "Time for Shubman Gill to remember and apply all those golden words of wisdom he received from Rahul Dravid in the under-19 World Cup."

Harsha Bhogle: Wonderful watching the crafty Bhajji bowl. Class doesn't grow old!

Aman Chaudhary: "Great opportunity for Shubman Gill."

Utkarsh: "You reach Chennai and you start seeing Test match being played in coloured clothing and white ball. Loopy spin, swing plus seam bowling."

babu: "When the crowds chant CSK CSK at Chepauk, it's very similar to a gladiator arena. I worry for the opponents."

Himanshu Verma: "Love to see Dhoni's tactics in powerplay against Narine."

Prabhath: "Since Dwayne bravo is missing, it is advantage KKR."
