Team like rr rcb never win for this reason... Csk players mocked rcb (deshpande) then we lost that season but csk admin give respect to them..

This team dc gt Punjab RCB may wins the match

A bit of a drag there at the end. But RR are all smiles after that big win. PBKS can't seem to win at this venue. And a first loss for Shreyas after 8 consecutive wins carrying on from last year when he led KKR to the title. Archer set the tone with his fiery spell and there was no looking back from there. He got Priyansh first ball and his extreme pace troubled everyone - so much so that after two stunning shots, Shreyas was unsettled by a short ball at 151kph and that played a part in him slogging wildy to be clean-bowled. Wadhera and Maxwell after four quick wickets got their side back in it with a fine stand with the left-hander hitting the ball so hard. But the duo were out in successive balls and from there it was just about completing the job for RR which they did. The last five overs produced just 24 as RR were superb at the death with everyone doing their job. It must be said that the pitch quickened up and there was more seam movement in the 2nd half of the game which made it even more difficult to handle Archer who was in red-hot form. PBKS have been handed a blow after a fine start.

Yeah

SRH is graceful

Even after defeat posted reel of players of KKR & SRH having some interaction

They don't mock anyone or over celebrate

And what's this daitya/Asuron/Rakshason ki team name for SRH just because they have strong batting line up

Anyway hope SRH social media stays like that

It hyped more bcoz Abhishek Sharma liked a post where SRH batters were shown as terrorists and everything so people started doing it more.

I don't see much of RCB and CSK so no comment on them

CSK ka admin hadh se zyada accha hain.

Yeh faltu digs and everything nahi leta hain.

Always hypes and respect every team and player.

Only thing I hate about them is that they hype Pakis too

Yes Ashwin s economy was good today but he got only 3 overs.

Mukesh could have bowled 1 over less..

CSK has some banters with MI I think

TBH

This defeat is because of Iyer

If Stoinis was leaking runs should have tried Maxwell

Also getting out in 1st over for aggressive shot

Anyway hope he learns after 1st defeat

I didn't watched the match, so don't know what actually happened

But Maxwell is doing well in ball this season he should trust him.

But PBKS fans don't worry he will come in form in next match against CSK, whoever is out of form performs against CSK.

Jese aaj KL khel gaya

Riyan Parag: (On his innings) That was the plan - getting runs in the powerplay was key, Jaiswal was excellent. It was sticking on the practice wickets. My plan was to take it easy till the 15-16th over and then take it on. Could not do it to the best of my abilities but that was the plan. He (Samson) has been a leader for a lot of years now. Even when he was not the captain, he was the leader figure. Having him back is a great plus. If he needs anything from us, he is always there and that is a great combination for us. Today, it was (a plan to have left-right batting combination throughout), it was not (a plan) in the earlier games. (On why there was a delay after the last ball) I saw Lockie, and I wanted to come up to mid on. Just a few seconds here and there (in getting inside the ring) but we can probably confirm with the replay.

Shreyas Iyer, Punjab Kings captain: I thought that we would be conceding around 180-185 - that would have been a great total to chase. We gave away a few extra runs, were not able to execute according to our plans. Glad that it (the defeat) happened at the start of the season. It was a decent pitch to bat on, it was holding a bit. Were trying to hit the deck and not give them much pace. We could have built a few partnerships and taken it a little slow, rather than over-attacking. Many things to learn from this game. Today there was no dew. We cannot be blaming that. we need to go back to the drawing board and see the videos of where we were not able to execute with the bowling. In the batting, we could be focusing on building partnerships. We also lost back-to-back wickets. It is not easy for a new batter to get going. (On Nehal Wadhera) Phenomenal batting under pressure. He took some time, he was able to analyze and was able to charge on the loose balls. This is just the third match, you need a slight hiccup at the start to wake you up and glad that it happened right now. We need to go back to the drawing board and come back strong next game.
