PLAYER OF THE MATCH
Rishabh: Ruturaj looks like a player who has played this league for years now! Too good.
Harsha Bhogle: Ruturaj Gaikwad looks a very mature player. Delighted he got a second chance and how well he has taken it.

Rahul: CSK have arrived too late to the party. With this quality of batting, they shouldn't have been at the bottom
Nikhil: Ruturaj has dented the hopes of RCB, KKR and now KXIP's for the playoffs.
Manish: "Every time KXIP has faced Dhoni in a decisive last match, they have secured a loss."
Tauhed: "That 5 wides gave the momentum to CSK."
Kiruba Shankar: "KXIP have gone 21 overs without a wicket in this IPL against CSK"
Danny: "Jimmy Neesham is a fifth bowling option of Punjab. His overs will be vital for them." -- Well, he's been given the new ball.
Neev: "I am telling you guys to not to underestimate Hodda's bowling. He picked fifer in the Semi-finals against Pakistan in the U-19 world cup."
Harsha Bhogle: Excellent from Hooda. Showing his value when the time comes. Keeping his team alive

Rohit: "Those who were questioning the inclusion of Hooda would have got their answer."
Nitish: "Seeing CSK play so well in the last 3 matches is making it even more frustrating for me as a CSK fan just for the way they used their 11. Surely Ngidi, Tahir should have played more. They were too late to make the changes."
annushka: "Tahir's iconic run (check), Jadeja's bat show (check), Faf's blitzing catches (check), Sam's shades (check). Now, all we need is a powerful batting performance from Dhoni to satiate CSK fans!"
Raviteja: "This is the Chennai we all know. Dhoni exactly knows how to bring the game back when it is slipping away."
AR: "Imran Tahir won the battle between the two 41-year-olds."
Harsha: "Usage of bowlers by MS has been really good today."
Paul Rohit: "@Dabir your wish came true :P"
Dabir: Eager to see the 'Tahir Celebration'
Rajath: "Being an RCB fan for 13 years, I still want Punjab to win today. The way they bounced back in last few games shows real intent in the players. They deserve to be in the playoff and hoping RCB to win tomorrow. It's a win-win case for my wish."
Drishtadumn: "Tahir vs Gayle... Would be a great battle... Tahir hasn't got a wicket this season, mind you. One wicket and he might get going today."
Harsha Bhogle: Good start for KXIP. If they win, they will almost certainly be in the play-off and will be a dangerous side to come up against. Lots to play for.

Rohith Darsha: "@Neeraj SRH supporter is a neutral as a win for SRH in the next match against MI will seal a birth in playoffs as SRH has a very good NRR."
SK: "We might be looking at the Indian Test Opening pair for the Australia tour."
Divy: "So glad to hear Dhoni say it's not his last game for CSK!"
Neeraj: "Apart from Mumbai and Punjab fans everyone else is supporting CSK today"
KKG: "Although I'm a CSK supporter I still want KXIP to win today. Except for a few overs in every match Punjab have played good cricket throughout the tournament. They deserve a spot in the top 4."
PratikKakani: "Keeping Hooda in the mix clearly states that KXIP will go all guns blazing and trust the batting depth in case of a collapse."
Vivan Kandoi: "Punjab should have replaced Deepak Hooda with Mayank. The lack of bowling options could hurt them today."
Jas: "I'm shocked to see Arshdeep been left out in such an important game. He contributed significantly with Shami in the death bowling department leading to their miraculous turnaround, which they lacked in their beginning matches. Their death bowling would again be under radar."
Mustafa Moudi: "Finally KXIP did what they needed to do much earlier by dropping Maxwell. Surprised that they persisted with him this long!"
