Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders, 38th Match, Indian Premier League 2021 - CommentaryCSK vs KKR, 38th Match, Indian Premier League 2021 - Commentary

PM: CSK should not leave this for too late. They must go for it because they have the depth and the power to come..

Subhendu: Kolkata should include Shakib al Hasan in the next match instead of Narine as Narine is no more effective. Shakib is currently in prime form as observed in recently concluded series against NZ and AUS.

JJ: Doesn't matter in the commentary box or through the stump mic I can listen to DK all day.

Ayush: Hard to find any other team with such flexibility in their middle order as CSK, Any batsman could easily slot in at any position, depending on circumstances. Amazing!

Manikanta: I agree with @Nikhil on the inability of teams to win seasons due to over-reliability on the openers. This is especially observed in SRH over the past few years. They won in 2016 because they had a reliable middle-order that season.

Gaurav R: Maybe Venkatesh Iyer could come handy with the ball in this pitch.. medium pace bowler with his slower ones could be difficult to play.

Shrey Patel: I honestly doubt Narine's relevance to the team now. It's been 2 seasons of under-performing to his capabilities and I don't see him as an all-rounder in the team nor the best spin option now.

Nikhil: One of the biggest flaws for a team is when the openers are performing in every match. This leaves the middle order unexposed. And during the knockouts when openers fail the team eventually suffers.

Atul K: Faf & Ruturaj have been the best openers CSK have ever had.. one of the reasons CSK is doing good..

AM: KKR should bowl the slower ones with accuracy. Serving them pacy balls isn't a good idea as that will allow them to hit freely with the extra pace offered.

Surendra Neupane: Is Morgan playing as a specialist captain? He's completely out of form

Gautam: Only threat for CSK are those two mystery spinners

Sagar: Although a target of 172 is achievable in T20 cricket, but the test is for CSK and Dhoni since the pitch will be on the slower side in second half, it's really tough to achieve that total looking at KKR's bowling attack which is having variety.

AM: KKR could have taken a chance here by sending Narine in place of Morgan.

AB: Man! What is with Shardul Thakur and taking crucial wickets at crucial times!!

Mehul: "How does Shardul keep doing this! I need an answer?!" -- I'm all ears if someone does find an answer

Farhiz Kuneshni: Expecting KKR to go all guns blazing & this will really test Dhoni’s strategic planning

Priyansh: We are finally seeing Morgan's style of leadership in KKR's fearless approach, the same approach which transformed English white-ball cricket after 2015.

Mustafa Moudi: The first match of the day is about breaking the winning streak in UAE while the second one is about breaking the losing streak in UAE. And funnily, both these sides won against both the sides competing in the evening!
