Sash: @Pawan -- Harshal has an injury.

Pawan: Harshal shouldn't have been traded off for Faf today. Might still not have made a difference.

Amogh: I feel RCB have severely under utilized Willey's batting strengths here.

Arjun: Either DK or KKR!

Suyash's aggressive demeanour quite impressive: Michael Vaughan

Ritesh: From RCB's perspective, DK has been biggest disappointment this season in both wicketkeeping and batting department. Might change tonight.

Ritesh: Kohli has been getting out this IPL after scoring half century. Hopefully he takes RCB over the line today.

Sunil Narine's resilience makes him one of the finest: Shaun Pollock

ssv: "@Tobin: If there's a super over, Siraj is necessary."

Tobin: "Why has Harshal been substituted? He is a better batter than Siraj."

Rambaram: Rana should take chance against Kohli and bring spinners early to put pressure on him!!

Vansh: "That four by Rinku (18.3) defines the amount of hardwork he has put in. Even Virat was in awe of that shot!"

Swagath: "15.5 Rana or Raina!!"

Ritesh: With 2 left handers, VK should've tried Maxi for an over at least especially when both were new to the crease

TS: Jason Roy's comeback has been so good to watch. He looks balanced at the crease, he isn't pushing too hard at the ball and looks like his old confident self.
