Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru, 33rd Match, Indian Premier League 2020 - CommentaryRR vs RCB, 33rd Match, Indian Premier League 2020 - Commentary

Akh: This is basic captaincy, bowl your best bowler in the 19th and try to kill the game or at least give a decent total to defend.

Sakshar: 19th over from Unadkat. When you have one left from Archer. Strange captaincy from Smith

Ravindra: I feel penultimate over is important than the final one. Why bowl 19th over with Undakat when you have an over left for Jofra?

Prince Jain: RCB's middle order is clearly a problem. They don't have anyone after the top 4. They need to work on it if they want to go far in this tournament.

Rakesh Chettikrindi: Break the rules and give Rahul Tewatia the "Emerging player of the season" award !!

Akhilesh Sachin: Rahul Tewatia has been the biggest positive for the RR team so far . He is proving himself as a complete all rounder. Finishing games when needed and also taking some crucial wickets. 'And add some stunning catches'

Mohan Vaddi: Padikkal should learn how to build and accelerate an innings from Kohli.. he's definitely giving a good start but that's not how it works. He must accelerate his innings. 'It's not easy for a 20-year old, in his first IPL, to play in this UAE heat'

Vicky TN: Rotating in middle overs is very crucial. Kohli doing his role well. But ensuring one boundary per over could make game easy.

Vishal: Kohli has gone back to being scratchy in the last game and this game as well. Though he had mentioned that he broke free in that Super over against MI, it looks like the nerves of ensuring RCB win are back again. He should let go of that feeling as RCB are in a decent position on the table.

SATBIR singh: All Indian superstars like Virat, KL Rahul, Rohit all just rotate strike in middle overs and take on the bowlers in the back end. This also increase pressure on the other batsmen

Divij Jain IITK: Padikkal is able to stitch big partnerships, but he ends up consuming a lot of balls. It's something that he needs to work upon. In short, try giving a Warner-like aspect to his opening.

Bhupinder Singh: Yet another failure for Finch. RCB should bring Josh Philippe in place of Finch, one who can open and keep as well. This will also relax some workload of ABD.

Roshan: Including Moeen Ali instead of Finch in the playing eleven would give another bowling option and a finisher at the end and Virat Kohli should instead open the batting for RCB

Rishabh: Mayank Markande should have been included in place of Unadkat considering pitch assisting spinners and big boundaries.

Srikar K: RCB will consider themselves lucky that they got Morris over Cummins in the auction. What an addition Morris has been to RCB!!

Keshore: Rabada, Nortje, Quinton, Faf, Morris. All the South African players have been such good additions for their sides. Looks like this will be the resurgence of South Africa in International cricket.

Nitin Sharma: Reporting an error. Please check your bowling stats. For some reason, Chris Morris is missing in Best Bowling Average and Best Bowling Strike Rates. 'He'll certainly be there in the top-15 after today's performance'

Dhruva: A score of 180 is competitive on this pitch. If RR get there their bowlers can defend the total more easily.

Srinivas Reddy Pullannagari: RCB looks completely a different side this year. They are not heavily dependent on Virat, Chahal, and ABD this time around. Likes of Padikkal, Sundar, Morris, Saini helping them to cross the line with their consistent contributions.

Saurabh: Kohli has finally figured out how to use Chris Morris at the right time.

Akhilesh: This is the most composed Smith has looked in this tournament so far.

Harsha Bhogle: While he may not be as dramatic as the other two, and only has 4 overs to show what he can do, I think we should acknowledge Yuzi Chahal as the third leg of the RCB triangle with AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli

Ashrant: Time for Smudge and Jos to launch now, they have Parag and Tewatia to come, and hence have the license

Rajath: I think Washington Sundar will be a good option to bowl to Steven Smith and Jos. Both are looking to hit big and might mistime the shot. 'He's indeed bowling now'

Prasanta Swain: Consistency and Sanju Samson are distant cousins. They hardly meet.

PV Krishna: Another failure for Benjamin Andrew Stokes! Do we need to go to Dubai and inform the RR Management that he is a middle-order player?

Mewan: I'm afraid RCB is stretching ABD on both ends by expecting him to keep. But sadly he is the only option considering both Parthiv and Philippe will hurt the team balance.

sharath J: Was a good idea to send an Indian batsman to counter Washington Sundar. Robin on song.

Rohit: Uthappa is best suited in the opening slot, that is where he has delivered his best IPL performance. But Smith and Samson being pushed down to No.4 and 5 is a gamble as both of them are top-order players.

Harsha Bhogle: So now Buttler goes down the order! There is a new pair everyday. Maybe they want to use Buttler in the role he plays in odi cricket; as a powerful finisher. Can't help thinking Buttler and Stokes can swap positions....

Bhanu aryal: RR should have chased keeping one of the shorter boundaries on sight, it's easy to calculate & chase I guess.

dappy: Left hand - right hand combination will play an important role today as the dimensions are interesting.

Santy: You gotta feel for Manan Vohra... Amazing talent and should get a chance to showcase his skills... he should open with Butler, and Stokes should be moved to number 5 which will solve the RR's middle order misery

Prince: Rajasthan should play Mayank Markande today. He is a young talent and a wicket taking option for RR.
