Whatever it takes!!!
Some analysis on Virat's captaincy: He tries to be instinctive but he also has very set ideas. Its why tactically we get like the worst of both worlds.
For example, he sees Siraj is bowling well in PP and wants to give him a 3rd but also is so set in his ways that fast bowlers have to bowl with the new ball that he forgets he has one of the best PP new ball bowlers in the world in Sundar in his side. So he brings on Sundar for Warner but also messes up Siraj and bowls him from the other end, which makes no sense. Its just easier for him to be the leader than to be the captain.

He is an excellent leader. That is why its a toughie and why he needs a very strong tactically good vice captain to support him, you see how much more fun it was in the England series when he was very obviously relying on lots of inputs from Rahane and Rohit, in all formats.

Absolute braindead chase yet again from Sunrisers.

Pandey scored runs both times, but did not see it home so not good whatsoever.

They need to figure out what to do with this lower other every year its a panic stations once Bairstow and Warner go.

Teams choking when chasing in Chennai. Dunno what it is but it is nice to see batting first becoming a good thing for a bit in LO cricket.

It feels like for the past couple of IPLs and BBLs everyone chooses to chase early in the season and almost everyone fails, whereas chasing becomes more successful later on, often when fewer teams choose to do it.

Nice win for RCB - done well to get through a game that at one point was lost and probably makes the MI victory look better now in retrospect. KKR, RR and CSK the next 3 games - win 2 of those and RCB are well placed on 4 wins from 5.

Rahane is hacking his own career playing T20s. Its no secret his fall as a test batsman has coincided with his attempts to establish himself as a ODI #4 and a T20 #3.
