ABD has won it for Kohli ->

[Dilscoop]

Kohli and ABD basically switched mojo. Would that be the first time that AB de Choke came through the clutch in a chase?

Here we go ladies and gentlemen, SRH vs KKR

KKR have won the toss and without hesitation Gautam elected to bowl for the umpteenth time this season.

No Russel.

[aklemalp]

And..., No Shakib.

Will this move come back to bite KKR's rear in this match???

Stand by folks

[roman]

No Shakib today. Lets Go SRH. Lets go Fizzzzz

As pointed out by a fellow member a few days ago, Shakib may want to reconsider his franchise prospects...possibly another county stint may suffice...

From one of Cricinfo.com's keyboard warrior's

D: "I think batsmen have gotten wiser to Mustafizur's tricks as the IPL has progressed. He certainly doesn't seem as sharp as he did in the first half of the tournament. I hope he shows us something new today, an ability to evolve when batsmen are beginning to figure him out. Also, a bit off-topic, but I am slightly disappointed to not have seen Kagiso Rabada play here this IPL. He has got a wide repertoire for a fast bowler that deserves a chance for prime-time appearance. He can generate disconcerting bounce off a good length, and also has a handy late inswinging yorker that can test the best of 'em out there. Let's have him in next year, folks."

Cant disagree. He has been terrible this season. I wonder if he Has played the last IPL of his career.

[aklemalp]

No Russel, no Shakib. No all-rounder for KKR.

SRH match it is

[aklemalp]

Jason Holder does qualify as an all-rounder. He has a century in Tests, and a couple of 50+ scores in ODIs

Maybe not. Depends on his batting in other formats.. but certainly looks like his last stint with the KKR. IMO he has been so under whelming for them over the years coming in with a reputation. Deserves the axe..

[aklemalp]

Shikhar is dismissed and now the challenge starts for SRH.

[kalpurush]

Dhawan gone!

[aklemalp]

Pathan rushing through some cheap overs

[tiger1000]

Poor decision to drop Shakib especially with no Russell, Shakib been below par, but not as bad as some make out, he's had to Bat in difficult positions and has had to bowl in pp and death overs, no easy feat for a spinner, only few can do well like a prime narine, but Shakibs am all rounder, he was never going to bowl like narine.

[aklemalp]

Simon bhai's favorite all-rounder, Henrikayes comes in at #3

[aklemalp]

These 2 Aussies need to put the peddle to the metal

[aklemalp]

Oh my!! What has Pathan done?

4.4
Pathan to Warner, 1 run, dropped by Pathan! Warner had laced this back foot thwack, and it came right back at the bowler. Yusuf tried to get down to it, but the ball hits his fingers and deflected away. Yusuf is in some pain here

[kalpurush]

Any link?

[aklemalp]

Warner welcomes Narine with a
