---

Let me think of emerging youngsters this season:
Mayank Agarwal, Shreyas Iyer, Shardul Thakur, Sandeep Sharma, Manam Vohra, Karanveer, Kuldeep Yadav, Shreyas Gopal, Sanju Samson, Karun Nair, Deepak Hooda, Abu Nechim, Yogesh Takawale, Yuzvendra Chahal, KL Rahul, Karn Sharma.

true

---

I can't put Domnic Joseph there cuz he's 34.

---

lol you should put praveen tambe

---

I only put youngsters

AND PRAVIN TAMBE IS 43 DUDE.

---

i was just joking XD but today there will be a huge showdown

---

where? & what showdown?

---

I am supporting SRH as their bowling line up is extremely strong and even the batting order, even cause i live in hyderabad:)

I'm supporting RR as they're the best formed team, has a good Aussie combination, & the teenager Deepak Hooda's contributions.

But RR need to bowl well to Warner, the key for SRH:Not to put Ishant in the squad. Ishant can overstep occasionally & that can cost SRH a lot of runs. So no Ishant.

Put Boult, B Kumar & Praveen Kumar, Karn Sharma.

---

Both teams have a good chance of winning. However, I am going to go with RR since they have a higher chance of winning if they can get Warner out early.

Yep, If Warner is out early, RR have a firm grip on this game. But SRH have a strong middle order in Rahul, Ojha, Williamson, Morgan, Henriques, Bopara, L Shukla, Ashish Reddy. They've got these guys in the squad. So they need to bowl them out or get at least 4 wickets in the PowerPlay

---

rr have to be beware of the power play as dhawan can also strike the ball well.So im siding with srh

---

& RR have the young talents remember. & my only worry for those teams:

RR-their pacers leaking runs
SRH-their spin department is too light

here's the report
RR won the toss & chose to field

SRH made 1 change-Eoin Morgan in, Kane Williamson out
RR named an unchanged squad

SRH-127-5(20)/RR-131-4(20)
MoM-Ajinkya Rahane

The Rajasthan Royals stretched their lead at the top of the Pepsi IPL 2015 standings after they defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by six wickets at the ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam. Riding on the back of a disciplined bowling effort by their bowlers, RR restricted SRH for 127-5 – the lowest total of the season, and then knocked off the required runs off the final ball of the chase.

Needing to chase at just over a run-a-ball, RR’s opening pair of Ajinkya Rahane and Sanju Samson gave the team a sound start. The pair didn’t take too many chances, but pounced on any freebies that came their way, making sure they put them away to the boundaries. The partnership was culled in the eleventh over – after they had added 64 runs - when young Samson attempted to run a Ravi Bopara delivery down to thirdman, but was brilliantly caught by a full-stretched Naman Ojha diving to his right.

RR skipper Steve Smith had a rare poor day with the bat, driving a wide half-volley from Karn Sharma to his opposite number stationed at cover. Karun Nair chipped one back to Bopara as RR slipped from 64 for no loss to 91 for 3. Rahane made 62 from 55 balls and almost carried his team over the line – in the process bagging the Orange Cap for becoming the leading run-getter, before perishing in the penultimate over.

RR needed 10 from the last eight balls, which came down one off the last ball, before James Faulkner managed to pierce the gap between cover and point, to lead his team to a thrilling – yet comprehensive – win.

Bopara was the most successful bowler for the hosts, returning with figures of 2 for 18 from his four overs, while Bhuvneshwar Kumar was impressive in his four overs, conceding only 25 runs.

Earlier in the evening, the Rajasthan Royals skipper called correctly at the toss and decided to give his bowlers first use of the pitch. Shikhar Dhawan and David Warner got off to starts, but were dismissed for 10 & 21 respectively. While Dhawan chased a wide delivery and edged to the wicket-keeper, Warner set off for a run late and was caught short of his ground by a direct hit from Ajinkya Rahane.

KL Rahul was dismissed immediately after his captain was dismissed as SRH crawled to 35 for 3 when the field restrictions were relaxed. Naman Ojha and Eoin Morgan, who replaced Kane Williamson in the SRH XI, resurrected the innings briefly with a 52-run partnership. Both batsmen struggled to find any kind of momentum, but fought it out, before being dismissed by leg-spinner Pravin Tambe. Ojha made 25 from 32 balls, while Morgan hit two fours and a six in his 30-ball 27.

Ravi Bopara, batting at number six, and Ashish Reddy, batting at seven, gave the innings much needed impetus at the back end. Bopara scored 23 from 19 balls, while Reddy made 13 off 9 balls. There were 62 dot balls in the SRH innings, who finished their allotted 20 overs at 127 for 5.

The Rajasthan Royals bowlers were a disciplined unit. Dhawal Kulkarni was the pick of the lot, finishing with figures of 3-1-9-2, while Tambe bowled out his four overs for returns of 2 for 21. The three overseas pace bowlers – Tim Southee, Chris Morris and James Faulkner – came in for some stick, together conceding 73 runs in their 9 overs.

there it is, another thrilling finish. This is the best possible start the Pepsi IPL 2015 can ever have. Tomorrow we have the big clash, MI VS CSK. Until then, bye

TODAYS MATCH IS CSK VS MI




Captains Dhoni (left) and Rohit


Last season, Mumbai Indians sneaked into the playoffs despite losing their first five matches. It's no template for success, but they seem to have taken it to heart, going by the way they have begun their 2015 season. They are still winless on the eve of their fourth match, against a Chennai Super Kings side energised by two wins in two games and refreshed by a five-day break.

The home team, which has lost all three matches it played so far to remain the only side without a point in the ongoing eighth edition of the cash-rich event, are under a lot of pressure to turn things around quickly.

In the first three games, the team failed to get off to a good start either in batting or bowling and those would be areas that need amends. To add to the team's woes, Australia's Aaron Finch is set to miss the rest of the IPL due to a damaged hamstring, sustained in the last game against the Royals in Ahmedabad.

Mumbai have been Super Kings' least favourite opponents in the IPL. They have a 9-9 record in 18 meetings. Super Kings have better win-loss ratios against every other IPL team

Pragyan Ojha, Harbhajan Singh and Lasith Malinga - all Mumbai players - are the three leading wicket-takers in the IPL against Super Kings

---

HELLO?

Sachin is better he is a legend he hit 100 centuary dhoni is the best indian captian but never can beat sachin

---

well, CSK are yet to taste defeat defeat(came close to lose against DD but survived), and MI yet to taste victory. MI are the only team yet to register a point this season. Rohit Sharma need some runs after 2 ducks in a row. Their top order needs to fire. Someone must come in ahead of Aaron Finch, who is nearly sure to miss the whole IPL. Simmons need to come back. & CSK, well they're a settled side. Smith back in form. McCullum smashing every ball he sees. Dhoni finishing well. Ashwin becoming a completely different bowler since the World Cup. So I would say this game is going with the CSK. MI need a quick replacement for Aaron Finch. Their middle order of Chand, Patel, Rohit, Tare, Rayudu need to ger runs. Pollard & Anderson need to continue their good form
