PLAYER OF THE MATCH
Datta: "Let's have another super over..."
Manoj: "Can Rahul Tripathi do a Rahul Tewatia?"
Pratyush: "KKR should open with Rahul Tripathi and use Narine as a finisher."
Ashutosh: "KKR had only 1 bowler who had an economy less than 10. DC, until now, have 3 bowlers with an economy less than 10. That's how good DC bowlers have been."
Aryan Khaitan: "I at times feel for Amit Mishra. He has always been good with the ball. In fact, in his last ODI he took 5 wickets, yet he was dropped."
John Samuel M: "Mishra is the only experienced player to perform well in this year's IPL."
Anuttam: "Nitish Rana is an under-appreciated player. He's consistent, scores fast and has ability to bowl."
Pratyush Soni: "KKR are on the right track and if they don't lose anymore wickets and bat well through the middle overs, they don't need to care about the death overs."
NesaMani: "I think KKR should open with Gill and Tripathi hereafter considering the fact that Tripathi is a batsman who could make the best use of Powerplay which he had done for RPS in 2017."
Kishore: "Over the years, the Delhi side has found it difficult to find the right combination but they have found that out very early in this year's IPL and are looking title favourites now."
Pranav: "While this score is chaseable in Sharjah, KKR would be under massive psychological pressure."
Priyanshu Poddar: "Russell is doing what Bravo does for CSK. Bowling the important death overs and finishing with the bat. How important has he become for KKR."
Harsha Bhogle: Everyone enjoying the cricket at Sharjah? What does the bowler do?
Harsha Bhogle: Everyone enjoying the cricket at Sharjah? What does the bowler do?
Arush: "KKR has a great team, but somehow it seems off from the leadership perspective. DK hasn't been impressive with his leadership. The way he uses his bowlers is just beyond understanding."
Sourav Chakraborty: "Even the hammerer is getting hammered!!!"
Vinay: "Serious error on the part of Cummins - bowling full deliveries with mid-off up in the circle. And Iyer is too good a batsman to miss out. But KKR are looking lost on the leadership front."
Aman sharma: "I don't agree with you @Arjun. Those 4 overs from Rabada are going to be tough for KKR and if Nortje hits the right line and length then it will be difficult for the openers, and for KKR Narine is struggling."
Arjun: "With the likes of Morgan, Russel, Karthik, Rana, Gill around the middle even 220 is not a safe target"
Aamir: "@Ant R - Agree! Delhi had young exciting line-up. Dhawan's addition has brought stability at the top, and that's why they got him for 3 players."
Adhith: "@Ant R - Completely agree with you. Dhawan provides good starts which provides a platform to the remaining batters to play their game. He provides the starts which CSK lack and that costs them their every winnable match."
Aayush: "Really looking forward to the Russell vs Rabada duel today. Delhi will definitely preserve Rabada's overs for Russell."
vatsal: "Stuck on a ship in brazil but cricbuzz commentary still gives goosebumps!!! Thank You" -- Ah, well, never a bad time to be publishing a compliment
Ant R: "@Vignesh Mohan, Constant 30s are better than two 60s and 7 20-run innings"
Vignesh Mohan: "I was writing "Dhawan looks ominous today" but he disappoints again. It is hard being Dhawan's fan."
Ajitesh Juneja: "Any bower with economy rate in single digits will have done a good job here."
Venkatesh: "KKR management was wise enough not to play Kuldeep. With shorter boundaries he would have struggled against DC's left handers which would have dented his confidence more. Good decision too by adding extra batsmen as KKR have lot of options."
Priyanshu Poddar: "I don't understand why people are overlooking the all round advantage of Narine, Russell and Cummins to include Banton. Sharjah is a small ground and DK will need more bowling options when his bowlers will be taken for runs."
Shaheem: "Some of the shots that Prithvi Shaw plays is exactly like a right handed version of Brian Lara."
Kabir Berlia: "Dinesh Karthik should watch more of BBL. Banton was the key to having a quickfire start to the innings and DK opted not to include him in the playing XI."
Preet Desai: "Any thing above 180 will be a score DC should keep an eye on. KKR does have the bating depth to chase down any score. Expecting few early wickets from Cummins."
Rahul Ranjan: "The top 5 of Delhi should go full throttle till over 15. And then leave it to Marcus to finish :)"
Raja Oblesh: "Everyone is suggesting not to open with Narine, but not to forgot his quickfire runs will change the entire course of the game followed by Morgan and Russell."
Mustafa Moudi: "Finally Rahul Tripathy gets a chance and Kuldeep Dropped. Hope This Rahul succeed too after KL, Chahar and Tawetia !!"
Shivargha: "Tom Banton at the top replacing Sunil Narine can do wonders for KKR at Sharjah. KKR have enough bowlers even if Sunil is benched today!"
Guru: "Would like to see a more even contest between bat and bowl. Always felt the best matches are where the 1st batting team set a target around 160-170 and the game has a close finish, it has everything for the bowlers as well as the batsmen."
Ashraful: "KKR should send Morgan at number 4 and Karthik at no. 7 as a finisher. Narine should not open anymore. His weakness is now exposed."
Ravi: "Sharjah has been a high scoring ground. KKR should drop Kuldeep, and bring in a batsman, probably Rahul Tripathi (can be used as the opener KKR desperately need), just to get those extra runs."
