Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals, 20th Match, Indian Premier League 2020 - CommentaryMI vs RR, 20th Match, Indian Premier League 2020 - Commentary

Harsha Bhogle: Powerful. That is what Mumbai Indians were today. And two great catches to top it!

Adk: Another big win on the cards for MI, they surely don't know it is an even year...but we all know unusual things have happened this year...so maybe the even year jinx will be broken finally.

Parth T: May I have the pleasure of knowing who was replaced by Anukul Roy? -- Sure. Suryakumar Yadav has not taken the field after being hit by that Archer bouncer.

Keshore: Smith and Samson don't seem to have come out of the 'Sharjah' mode yet. Touch too aggressive for two class batters. And Butler is standing there at the other end wondering about his role as the enforcer at the top of the order.

SHUBHENDU SINGH: Difference between the approach: RR didn't fire with their strike bowler from the first over and allowed quick runs in the start, whereas MI used both their best assets straight up.

Harsha Bhogle: Wow, now that is a new ball attack! Delighted to see Bumrah charge in with the new ball.

Dupen Babbar: There is a reason MI and DC have been successful till now. They are firing as a unit. Not dependent on one or two players. Marvellous stuff.

Ajay Kumar Meena: RR is missing Rahane.

Ranga roy: Excellent captaincy by Rohit. Brought Bumrah straightaway to put pressure.

Rohan: Got to feel for young Jaiswal. Hopefully he gets a few more chances and does not get dropped like he was after the first game.

Rohan: MI reaching 193/4 without Pollard says something about this batting line up!

Harsha Bhogle: Most days 193 is enough. If Rajasthan Royals get these, we have a very watchable time ahead

Dhrubajyoti: "Poor team management in this match by MI. Pollard at 7 never helps your cause. He can play the anchor role too. He should be sent in place of Krunal" -- Yeah I think they got it wrong this time. However, they're still looking good for 180.

Om: "Hasn't Pollard been unbeaten so far in this IPL?" -- Just that one dismissal in the season opener

Devansh: Sending Krunal Pandya wasn't worth the risk for MI, Pollard could have faced the legspin better considering his previous record against leggies.

Harsha Bhogle: Always wondered why Shreyas Gopal is talked about as little as he is. Excellent today. 2-28 from 4.

praveen vemuri: "Why is stokes not in the playing 11?" -- He's in quarantine

Arpan: Suryakumar Yadav is one flamboyant player overshadowed by big names in MI.

Nimish Gupta: "Why Krunal when you have Polly and Hardik, maybe because if last match 4 balls 20 runs" -- Maybe to get a left-hander in against the leg-spinners. Also he was brilliant with the four balls he got last match.

Akhilesh: Curran should be looking at this match as a big opportunity for him. He knows he's going to be dropped the instant Stokes is ready but can he conjure up something special to give himself an extended run?

jobayer: "Somehow Tyagi's run up reminds me Brett Lee. Do you notice it?" -- His run-up reminds of Chris Martin actually, as Akshay from our team pointed out.

Mrinmay: "How fast is Kartik bowling?" -- The first two balls of this over have been around 137kph.

Gaurav: Jinxed it @siddharth

Harsha Bhogle: Not bad if you are 19, playing in the IPL and you get a top international player out in your 1st over.

Anurag Sharma: @Murli, Agree on your point, but you can't say Rohit's the one captain. MS also identifies his team at the beginning of the tournament and there are only forced changes later due to injuries(if any). Selection security is what stands out in both CSK and MI and hence the results.

Siddharth Malik: Sharjah the perfect place to get an out of form batsman in form, QDK looks in top form here, taking Archer to the cleaners!

Amlan: "Why would you remove a left hand bowler against a side full of right hand explosive batsmen?" -- Unadkat's not looked good at all, so I'd say that's fair enough

Shy: "Hopefully Gopal will not bowl more with new ball, opportunity should be given to Tyagi whom they have inducted for this purpose only :(" -- Apparently not. In

jay: Even KXIP failed to chase in Abu Dhabi against MI with in-form batters still RR is moving with one batter short. Can see MI going top of the table.

Murali: I like Rohit for believing in his team and not making too many changes, he is one captain who understands his players so well that he would make 1-2 changes in the initial stages of the tournament and then stick with the same team until the end. Most of other teams keeps chopping and changing!

Dungar: Excited to see Kartik Tyagi and his swing -- No new ball for him. Wonder if the swing will even last till the time he comes on.
