KL Rahul | Losing team captain(KXIP): Obviously disappointing. Looking back, we could’ve been three wins out of four. This game, we made some mistakes. Important we come back stronger. The wicket looked good with the new ball.
Don’t know if it showed up after that. Another bowling option would be nice – an all-rounder option who can bat and bowl well. Will be sitting with the coaches to decide if we want to play an extra bowler.
Until and unless that orange cap stays with Kings XI I’m happy. He’s (Agarwal) worked very hard and deserves that cap. I’m sure I’ll take it off him soon.
Rohit Sharma | Winning team Captain(MI): Was a great win. We didn’t start really well, but we always knew with the kind of attack Punjab had we wanted to capitalize on. Those two guys they back themselves to get the runs, it’s nice to have them in form as well.
It wasn’t going to be easy with the ball against the KXIP batting line-up. We knew we had to get early wickets and everything went to plan, credit to the bowlers. The last game the execution wasn’t exactly right at the death with the ball. So we discussed and wanted to improve.
I haven’t played enough with Boult and Pattinson, so it’s difficult to get them on the same page. They have now got an idea of what I need from them and I got to know them better too. Feels nice to get the runs, but the two points matter more.
Player of the Match
Kieron Pollard | Mumbai Indians: Feels good. We were on the losing side last game, so we want to come out on the right side today. It’s about what’s there in front of you. Look at the bowlers and see how many you want to get, 15 off the over, and then you try to go hard.
Today he had to come and swing and he showed his prowess. We know the sky is the limit in the last 4 overs. Yes, the Sharjah boundaries are small, but we got to hit them right and execute really well with the ball too. We can bask in the glory for now but we have an important game coming up in a couple of days time.

Have played some good cricket. Boys in a good place. He (Tewatia) was under the pump but just turned it around and had such belief in the end. Same team.
Dinesh Karthik | KKR skipper: Okay with batting first. Looks similar to Abu Dhabi but it plays differently. Sharjah is a completely different fish but these two are similar. The brand of cricket we played the other day was something I’m proud of. Same team.

IPL 2020 RR vs KKR | Kolkata Knight Riders won by 37 runs
Steve Smith | Losing captain(KKR): Didn’t quite go to plan. That happens in T20 cricket sometimes, we have a few areas to improve on and keep moving forward. You could go one way or another (with the toss).
KKR like to chase, so we planned to put their death bowling under pressure but obviously couldn’t do that as we lost too many wickets upfront. Few of us still thought we were playing in Sharjah.
It did (feel a lot different), the far side is a very big side and we didn’t see too many balls going there and the other side is slightly shorter. We probably didn’t adapt to the dimensions and the wicket also dropped a few catches which cost us.
It is about forming whatever XI is best for the conditions we are facing, we will wait and see. Disappointing tonight but we need to keep moving forward. It wasn’t a great battle (with Cummins), he won easily and spoke to him now and he said you smack those in the nets, sometimes you just get a good one.
Dinesh Karthik | KKR captain(KKR): Wouldn’t call it a perfect game. Lot of areas we need to improve. The way Gill batted, Mavi bowled, Russell batted. Also, the youngsters going after the high catches.
Archer bowled really well. Wasn’t that easy a wicket to bat on. A couple of guys made it look better than it was. These boys, the journey they’ve been through when they’re not playing, is a hard one. Putting runs on the board is what we thought was the best way to go forward on this ground.
Player of the Match
Shivam Mavi | KKR: When I started bowling, it was seaming. So I thought I’ll stick to normal lines and lengths. Before the game, we thought it would be flatter. So I just stuck to a length. Have played against these big stars before, but I knew it wasn’t coming onto the bat.

David Warner | Winning captain: We lost the toss tonight and won the game, so feels good. Unfortunately, Mitch Marsh was injured and we had to figure out how to get over in but young Abhishek Sharma came in.
We have been working really hard in our training with the death bowling, and today they were fantastic because they can be called up at any stage. We need a bit of luck with the bat, around ten of them found the fielders.
But in this heat, running does take a toll. I did hit some good shots, and I told the analyst that it only found the fielders.
Shreyas Iyer | Losing captain: We were pretty much happy with 162, it was a par score on this wicket. We had no idea how this wicket would behave as this is our first game here. They outplayed us in all three departments and credit to them for that.
It was surprising and in the second innings, it (pitch) was two-paced. When I went in, the ball wasn’t coming onto the bat. We thought dew would come on but we can’t give any reasons at this moment. We didn’t execute the way we wanted to. A lot of learnings from this wicket and conditions.
Ricky went in (during the time-out) and we needed one batsman to take a chance as the required rate was pretty high. The ground is very big and we didn’t capitalize on taking doubles. We knew boundaries are big here and doubles will be key for us, It didn’t work out for us, hopefully, next time we can maximize the opportunities.
Man of the Match
Rashid Khan: I don’t put pressure on myself, I just keep myself calm and composed and focus on what I can do. I just go out there and do the basics right. I bowled quicker today, when I started and bowled my first ball, I realized it.
You need two-three balls to know what the right pace is. In these conditions, you need to bowl back of a length to the batsmen. Warner always backs me and tells me that you know what’s best for the team.
That’s what we discuss in the field. Tough one and a half years for me, first my dad expired and it took a bit of time for me to come back. My mom was my biggest fan, especially in the IPL and when I was the MoM, she would always talk to me through the night.

Match: Royals Challengers Bangalore(RCB) vs Mumbai Indians(MI)
Venue: Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai
Toss Details: Mumbai Indians won the toss and opt to bowl
Virat Kohli | RCB Skipper – We wanted to bat first, it has worked well for the teams. It’s a decent shout to defend on this ground. We’re working extra hard on our catching and fielding, but the pitch has played really well.
Dew hasn’t come in and KXIP showed we can defend scores on this ground. I think we bowled well in the first match, last game, we didn’t have the momentum going into the death overs.
We’ll be looking to be more attacking with the ball – three changes, Zampa and Udana are in, they replace Philippe and Steyn. Gurkeerat comes in, he replaces Umesh Yadav.
Rohit Sharma | MI Skipper – We will bowl first. The wicket looks a bit green but dry. Hopeful that it plays well under lights, that’s the reason we are chasing. We’ll have to play good cricket, back yourselves to do the job.
The results have been in favor of team batting first, but we had a great last game and the confidence is there. Early days the middle-order hasn’t got much to bat, a lot of guys haven’t played a lot of cricket. One change, Saurabh Tiwary isn’t fit, Ishan Kishan is in.

Harsha Bhogle is currently presiding in UAE to work in IPL 2020 commentator panel. After his prediction on Rahul Tewatia went wrong peoples start to troll him. Later Bhogle makes it to Twitter and says the story.
Twitter Post reads as follow
“I have had a strange couple of days at work. The day before yesterday, the 26th, I was at the ground doing commentary on the SRH vs KKR game and I thought I had an ordinary day. I got a couple of things wrong, the presentation went well but I came back to
my room unhappy”.
Yesterday, the 27th, I was very happy, I thought a lot of my observations on the RR vs Kings were correct, I thought we read the game pretty well on CricBuzz. There was a dramatic twist at the end but that happens in live sport.
Now here is what happened.
On the 26th, other than a couple of discerning viewers on twitter, no one picked up my mistakes, and if anything, I got quite a lot of “good to see you on the telecast” messages. But I didn’t sleep well.
Harsha Bhogle admits to getting “trolled” after prediction went wrong
During Rajasthan’s run-chase, their all-rounder Rahul Tewatia got off to a sluggish start, scoring just 8 runs in his first 19 balls while chasing a target of 224. Harsha Bhogle, much like his co-commentators, pointed out Tewatia’s initial struggles of connecting his bat with ball.
However, the 27-year-old cricketer opened up his arms later and smacked some big sixes en route to his 31-ball 53. His next 12 balls yielded 45 runs as Rajasthan overhauled Punjab’s target with three balls to spare.
Rahul Tewatia
On the 27th, I was hugely trolled. I had said, “Feel for Tewatia but he is losing his team the match”. He was. Everyone felt so and the player himself said it was probably the worst 20 balls he has played. The twist that followed was remarkable, joyous but rare. I was
happy for him but I didn’t think I was wrong. I slept well.
It tells me you cannot forecast how things will be
happy for him but I didn’t think I was wrong. I slept well. It tells me you cannot forecast how things will be received. I would have found it perfectly understandable if I was criticised for those couple of mistakes on the 26th but I wasn’t. And I am bewildered
by the intensity of the outburst for what was a valid observation.
I think there is one other truth to this. On live television, the moment goes away and with it the mistake too. On social media it stays, it gets shared, it is delivered to you.
So, is digital already a more potent, more lasting opinion maker than live TV?

I think I got my decision right. For us, our strength is death bowling. I thought it was actually a difficult wicket to accelerate on. I don’t regret what I did at the beginning of the game and I stick by my decision.
Cummins bowled Test-match line and length. There was a little bit of movement. It got harder in the middle. Extra 30 or 40 runs would have been great.

Always good to get on board. We have been working really hard. I think one of the advantages of having all-rounders and it is a privilege to use them whenever I can. The fact that we have been able to groom youngsters is pleasing.
It feels good to see the youngsters doing well. I want Gill to enjoy his journey in cricket. One duck doesn’t make you a bad player. I need to probably up my game and get a few runs.
Shubman Gill, Man of the Match(KKR)
I think the ball wasn’t spinning much and was easy to hit down the ground. I have practiced power hitting in the last couple of years. I think it was important for us to win. We bowled really and we had to back it up with a good performance.
There weren’t any long conversations with Morgan. We were just trying to anticipate what the bowlers can try and do. As an opener, it is my duty to see my team through.

Match: Chennai Super Kings(CSK) vs Delhi Capitals(DC)
Venue: Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.
Shreyas Iyer | DC Captain: We needed that win in the first game of the season. The boys are really motivated and we are in a great mindset. I would have chosen to field as well because in the last match dew played a great part.
Ashwin, I feel is doing pretty well, but we wanted to give him a 2-3 game rest so that he feels better. He’s doing well in the gym. We have two changes – Amit Mishra in for Ashwin and Avesh Khan for Mohit Sharma.
MS Dhoni | CSK Captain: We’ll bowl first. I think we need to respect the conditions and the fact that dew will play a part. Maybe the teams batting second so far in the tournament have made mistakes to not win. It looks better to bat second on TV.
Some of the wickets might slow down as the tournament progresses. But given the number of strips out here and the amount of grass, it won’t become a low scoring tournament. When you have 14 games before the playoffs you can’t win all games.
We need to control the controllable better, and one of them was the no balls. We also did well to get to 200 in the last game. One change – Ngidi misses out and Hazlewood comes in. As fas as my batting position go, I’ll do whatever is best for the team.

I don’t think it was a good game for us. There was no dew, but the wicket did slow down. We are lacking a bit of steam in the batting and that hurts. The run rate keeps on mounting after such slow starts and adds pressure, we need to figure that out.
We need to come back with a clearer picture, looking at the combination. Maybe, the team balance will get better once Rayudu comes back in the next game. That will give us the room to experiment with an extra bowler perhaps.
There are quite a few things we can think about. We are one batter extra to start off, so the players need to step up. We need to get better with our lengths, lines, and pace. I think the spinners have not come to the party yet.
We are bowling good deliveries, but we are giving away the boundary deliveries bit too often. I’ll ask the players as there have been quite a few dropped catches.
The players are not used to play under such lights, maybe the trajectory comes in the way. Now that you have said it, this can be an excuse for those dropped catches.
Shreyas Iyer | winning captain
I am really happy with the performance. I would give them the benefit of doubt, is tough to catch in these conditions. You misjudged the ball, really don’t know how to pace yourself.
In the team meeting, we decided that we are going to assess the batting conditions early and then play accordingly. The way the openers started gave us a lot of confidence and the finish was good too.
I am lucky to have KG and Nortje in the team. It’s important to stick together as a team and we need to enjoy each other’s success.
Prithvi Shaw(Delhi Capitals) | Player of the Match
In the start you have to see how the wicket is, playing along the ground is more important. I was striking the ball well last year as well, but I was making silly mistakes. This time I decided to play more ground shots. I would like to see the highlights of my knock and understand how it went and what I could do. The wicket was nice to bat on.

Chris Gayle will come in at the right time, don’t worry about it. It was tough sitting at home and so we are grateful to get this opportunity to play. The guys are enjoying themselves despite the rustiness in the first game.
Virat Kohli | RCB captain: It’s a fresh wicket. There’s a bit of dew in the second half and when the ball gets wet it’s hard to execute. That’s been a big factor. We have done really well defending a total of less than 170 and seeing the bowlers executed their plans so well. We are unchanged for today’s game.

Post Match
Virat Kohli | Losing captain(RCB)
Yeah, it didn’t. I think we were good in the middle phase with the ball, they got off to a decent start and we pulled things back nicely. I have to stand in front and take the brunt of it, not the best day in the office, couple of important chances of KL when he was set and that cost us 35-40 runs at a later stage maybe if we restricted them to 180 we wouldn’t have under pressure from ball one to chase. We know exactly where we went wrong and I have to put my hand up and say a couple of important changes went down.
There are days when these kinds of things happen on the cricket field, they happen and we have to accept them. We have had a good game, we have had a bad game and now it is time to move on. Learn from the mistakes we make. We did pretty well closing in on the second time out.
Those are the moments, we pulled things back nicely so we understand how to do that as a team. He (Philippe) has batted at the top of the order for Western Australia and done well in the BBL as well, early days in the tournament so we thought we will maximize his ability and see how we go from thereon. We thought we will give ourselves a bit of depth in the middle overs.
KL Rahul | Player of the Match | KXIP captain:
As a leader, it’s important to lead from the front. It’s a complete team performance, really happy. I told Maxi that I am not feeling completely in control of my batting, he said you must be joking, you are hitting really well.
During the toss is the only time I feel like a captain and otherwise, I balance being a player and the captain. The analyst, coach, and management will be happy. I watched the U-19 World Cup. He has a lot of fight in him. He’s always ready when I throw the ball. He wants to get into the contest.
Pat Cummins Trolled After His Bowling Against MI, KKR Skipper Backs up
The last night IPL match between KKR and MI is set to be the greatest nightmare for Pat Cummins. The Australian born cricketer has been bought by KKR for 15.50 cr in the IPL 2020 auction.
Pat Cummins sold for 15.50cr to KKR in IPL 2020
Pat Cummins Worst performance for KKR
KKR expects a lot from the Aussies player in their first match of IPL 2020. But ended up conceding 49 runs off three overs, going at 16.33 runs per over. KKR fans ended up in frustration as the well-expected bowler turns them down.
Conceding 49 runs for 18 balls is not an acceptable one in this format. Which makes Mumbai Indians to score 195 runs of the 20 overs. Though he fails to make an impact in bowling Cummins saved grace with the bat, though, hitting 33 runs off just 12 balls.
He smashed Jasprit Bumrah for four sixes in the 18th over but the asking rate had climbed to 28 an over by then. Bumrah who plays a vital role in Mumbai Indians bowling took two important wickets(Eion Morgan & Russell) of the KKR.
Jasprit Bumrah’s First 3 Overs Changed The Course Of The Game Completely! 🔥🔥🔥
Making sixes in his over proves his batting ability in the lower order. Though many criticise Cummins, KKR skipper Dinesh Karthik backed up him.
Dinesh Karthik talks
Regarding the loss, KKR skipper said that” I think we had areas to do well in bat and ball, I think it was a pretty rusty today, to be honest, I don’t want to get too analytical about it but it’s ok the boys realise where they could have done better.
A couple of the guys – Cummins and Morgan – just finished their quarantine today, it is hard, playing in the heat and getting used to the conditions. Don’t want to be too analytical, the boys put in a good effort.
I haven’t had the conversation about that (regarding tweaking the top order) with Baz, will let you know by the next game”.
KKR fans expect their team to be strong as before as they have a handful of experienced players in their team. Let’s hope for a strong comeback from Pat Cummins in the upcoming matches of the IPL 2020.
