Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians, 36th Match, Indian Premier League 2019 - CommentaryRR vs MI, 36th Match, Indian Premier League 2019 - Commentary

Shivam: Which Ashton Turner batted against India at Mohali?

Jayesh: A bit surprised at MI bowling tactics. Giving freebies in the form of Pandya brothers, both of them not up to the mark, when you have Bumrah, Malinga and Chahar to put RR on the back foot.

Harsha Bhogle: Very impressed with young Riyan Parag. Something about him. RR have been really positive today and negated spin by taking 48 from 4 overs off K Pandya and Markande

Dylan: Really good innings from young Parag here. Shown very good temperament and has played the situations in this innings very well. Mentally, very impressed and he isn't too bad a shot maker either

Kousal: RR badly need a win here. Just like RCB yesterday. That will boost their players confidence and morale, especially to Steve Smith, who has returned to captaincy today after a long time. This will help him in the WC

Dhavi: 80 odd runs in 70 balls required a ODI type chasing technique to win easily without any major hiccups. But nowadays, batsmen forget that and play for glory rather than finish the game for their team.

Yash N: I think Jos, Samson and Smith will be an excellent top 3, RR should trade/buy 2 Indian finishers for Rahane and Tripathi and I believe Stokes should bat at 4 where he did wonders for RPS. RR needs to make few changes to make a balanced team for next year like DC did changes after last year.

Karan: I think Rahul Tripathi is ideal as an opener. His batting style does not suit that of a middle order batsman or a finisher. He should be given his time to open up and play freely, as we saw in the previous game. 'He has been dropped today'

Harsha Bhogle: Clearly the plan is that Samson goes for it early. And he is. Not bludgeoning but carving.

Harsha Bhogle: Didn't get the finish but it seems apparent that run-getting becomes difficult as the ball gets older. This might be enough for MI.

Arham Parakh: Hats off to JOFRA ARCHER, undoubtedly the best limited overs bowler in the world currently. I totally agree to Micheal Vaughan that he can get into any team in the world. England would be shooting their own feet if they do not select him for the World Cup

Sushil Goud: MI has failed to accelerate the run rate in the middle overs throughout the tournament which has always put the pressure on the lower order batsman.. Lucky that most of the time they have managed to get the job done

Prateek: Smith has played a possible masterstroke today with Binny bowling 3 overs for only 19 runs and 1 wicket. Now Jofra has 3 overs for the end to see off both of these finishers.

aakanksha: SKY is crawling at snail's pace. He is not even trying to hit big. Wonder if it is a strategy to keep wickets for last 5. But he should at least start now.

Yogesh: Interesting captaincy by smith.. He has used 6 bowlers in 12 overs and Stokes is yet to bowl.

Bhuvan Dave: This is surprising captaincy from Smith.... Gopal just bowled 1 over even after taking a a wicket it it. They have allowed these pair to settle in. "He's been kept back for Pollard and Hardik"

Sushil Kumar Goud: The way MI has selected their playing XI for each and every game is something to be watched and appreciated.Very excited to see how it goes on further

Prathamesh: Personally from Ajinkya Rahane's point of view this captaincy change should be a good thing as he can now solely focus on batting and get back into rhythm...

Harsha Bhogle: Rajasthan Royals have appointed an interim captain, by the looks of it. Steven Smith leaves in a few days too. Unless this is an announcement of next year's captain.

Karthik: Teams would really be looking at Rohit's struggles against wrist spinners.

Raja Reddy: Seems like dropping a player from captaincy has become a trend nowadays whenever teams doesn't perform well !!!
