KYC (Know Your Cricket)

1/ CSK come into this game with momentum with a victory over their arch-rivals in their last game. However, that required brilliance from the evergreen Thala 🌲

He hasn’t played international cricket in 2 years, and is still one of the best finishers around. Surely, CSK have to stop relying on him at some point if they want to climb up the table 🧗

2/ Punjab cannot play worse than they did last time around. All out for 115 and to lose by 9 wickets with more than 9 overs to spare. Mayank Agarwal, how are you feeling? It isn’t easy being captain, is it 😔

3/ Bravo vs Arshdeep ⚔️ Two of the best death bowling specialists around. Bravo has been around for ages, and can deliver in his sleep. But there’s something different about Arshdeep. He’s bowling at an economy under 5.50 in the death overs. WOW. The last 5 overs for both innings is going to go a long way in deciding this game 🔥

Send 'em Smacks

1/ PBKS were too clever for their own good. The strategy to go in with six batters and five bowlers did not pay off and they will need to add strength to their batting department. Where is Rajapaksa? 🤔

2/ Yes Jaddu, we understand it’s impossible to succeed MSD. But you have to be doing a little better. At something. Poor batting, questionable bowing and now dropped catches. Your spot for the WC isn’t confirmed yet, time to get back to the Jaddu we all know and love 🥊

3/ Shahrukh Khan came into this IPL with a lot of hype and expectations. And a hefty price tag. Fair to say this hasn’t been his IPL. At all. How many more chances do you think he will get?

WTF Is That?

Bouncer

What’s another ball that every bowler loves to have in their armory?A bouncer.

A bouncer is a delivery, usually bowled by a fast bowler, which bounces once and then reaches the batter at head-height.

Why do this?It's intimidating. It can lead to wickets, and it can stop the flow of runs.

And it’s a lot of fun :)
