IPL 2021 | PBKS vs MI: With backs to the wall, only way ahead for KL Rahul men’s is forward
The Punjab Kings have had a forgettable outing in the Indian Premier League so far, losing their last three games, since their victory in the opening game, a minute one against Rajasthan Royals. With their backs against the wall, Punjab Kings face Mumbai Indians, the most successful team in the IPL history, but for the Kings, a team that led to their ultimate comeback in the last season of the cash-rich tournament. It was against a Mumbai Indians side only where the Punjab Kings defeated them in the second super over eliminator. From there on, the Kings went on to win five consecutive matches, eventually losing to Chennai and getting knocked out of the playoffs race. With a Mumbai, that’s struggling with their batting order, it is going to be a matter of holding their own for the Punjab Kings and eking out a victory to get the momentum back. Punjab need to utilise its resources well After the mini-auction, everybody said that this Punjab team had all its flanks covered. With fast bowlers assembled in the form of Riley Meredith and Jhye Richardson and getting Dawid Malan to go all out at the top, it was a team that looked fearsome at the outset. However, the resources of the team have not been managed well. Playing Chris Gayle in the four matches alongside Nicholas Pooran has yielded no results what so ever for the team. Now is the time for Anil Kumble and the management to make a decision and play their horses for courses. The likes of Malan, Meredith and Chris Jordan need to be backed and placed into the playing XI. If Moises Henriques has been backed as an all-round option then he at least needs to be given 2-3 games to prove himself. Ravi Bishnoi is another prospect that hasn’t been utilised well and if he can’t play in Chennai, then may God help Punjab. The fact that Shahrukh has always been left to bat with the tail is another problematic issue. It is with pertaining issues like these that Punjab would enter the arena at Chepauk once again. Will they able to resolve them or will they get entangled in it all over again, will be told by time only. Mumbai's middle-order mayhem The Mumbai Indians have had one of the most feared middle orders in IPL history. Over the last few years, the likes of Kieron Pollard and the Pandya brothers alongside Ishan Kishan or players late down the order have scored runs aplenty. But this season, the story is a bit different. In the four games so far, Hardik hasn’t been able to cross the 20-run margin. In fact, he has scored a combined total of just 35 runs in those four innings at a dismal average of below nine. What has made matters worse is the fact that he has always got out at the wrong time. Pollard, apart from his one knock in which he hit two sixes in the last two balls to get the Mumbai score past 150, hasn’t really achieved much either. He has scored just 49 runs in four innings with an average of about 17. And if Krunal’s tally of 26 runs is anything to go by, then the situation isn’t really bright. Mumbai’s top fast bowler, Trent Boult going on to ask the middle order to put runs on the board is as alarming a sound as it can get. Thus it is going to be the right time for the Blue and Gold to get their middle order in shape before it gets too late to wake up from slumber. Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians; Match Details Match Number-17 Date and Time: April 23, 2021, 07:30 pm IST, 02:00 pm GMT Venue: MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai Broadcast and Live Stream: Star Sports and Hotstar Pitch Report Chennai has so far produced wickets that are low scoring, apart from the one high scoring game involving KKR and RCB. thus expecting another low scoring turner with dual bounce would be a no brainer for anybody. The pitches have generally had help for spinners and if pacers are able to manipulate the ball with cross-seam well, the square is conducive enough to reel results. Weather and Toss Chepauk in the last game had so much dew that even local lad Ravichandran Ashwin was surprised by the amount. He reasoned that it was due to heavy grass that so much dew had accumulated. But with clouds passing by the ground, dew is going to be a phenomenon that captains must keep in mind. If dew increases with passing time, captains would most likely ball first after winning the toss. Team News Punjab Kings Going by the looks of it, Punjab Kings would most likely make changes and they should be the positive ones. Chris Gayle and Nicholas Pooran must make way for Dawid Malan and Riley Meredith. Similarly, either one between Arshdeep and Mohammed Shami should be dropped to get in Ravi Bishnoi. Since both Fabian Allen and Henriques could bat, they can be given an extended run. Strongest XI KL Rahul (c & wk), Mayank Agarwal, Dawid Malan, Moises Henriques, Deepak Hooda, Shahrukh Khan, Fabian Allen, Ravi Bishnoi, Murugan Ashwin, Riley Meredith, Arshdeep Singh Mumbai Indians Changing the XI might not be the right way to go forward for Mumbai, but dropping de Kock for Chris Lynn might not be a bad idea. Krunal Pandya could be benched to try out someone like Anukul Roy as well. Roy hasn’t got a shot but has performed exceedingly well for Jharkhand with both bat and ball and his fielding credentials are as good as anybody in the Mumbai lineup. Strongest XI Quinton de Kock (wk)/ Chris Lynn, Rohit Sharma (c), Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan (wk), Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya/Anukul Roy, Rahul Chahar, Jayant Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult Dream XI Predictions / Fantasy XI Suggestions Ishan Kishan, Rohit Sharma, Mayank Agarwal (c), Suryakumar Yadav, Shahrukh Khan, Hardik Pandya, Deepak Hooda, Ravi Bishnoi, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, Rahul Chahar (vc)
IPL 2020 | MI vs RR: Twitter reacts as Rohit's Mumbai thrashes Steve Smith's Royals
The match between the Mumbai Indians and the Rajasthan Royals turned out to be a damp squib but the netizens found enough moments to turn an otherwise dull contest into an interesting day. Twitter had a field day as various moments caught the eyeballs of cricket fans and social media uses. It was the Indian U-19 star Kartik Tyagi who caught the attention of cricket experts with his pace and accuracy. Resemblances of his action with Brett Lee impressed none other than Ben Stokes whom the Royals missed dearly in their failed chase against a strong Mumbai bowling. Stokes likened Tyagi’s bowling to a mixture of Ishant Sharma in delivery stride and Lee while running. As the Mumbai Indians started to lose momentum in the idle overs, the Suryakumar Yadav everyone was waiting to see in this season finally arrived for the men in blue. He played some audacious shots and although the brilliance of Jofra Archer tried to shun him, he showed exemplary courage and grit to bring out a reverse ramp against Archer after being hit on the badge of his helmet off a knuckleball from the Royals’ pacer. After Suryakumar Yadav’s excellent show with the bat, it was Bumrah’s turn to own the show tonight and the leader of the Mumbai Indians bowling attack started with a big wicket of Steve Smith and formed a formidable pair of bowling with Trent Boult to leave Royals reeling at 10/3 at some stage. Mumbai’s bowlers have been on top of the mark in the season but Jasprit Bumrah was not looking at his usual best but the night against Royals he put all his off days to rest. Just when the Royals were trying to resurrect their chase with Mahipal Lomror and Buttler looking to steady the ship, a sub fielder Anukul Roy ran backward to pluck a beauty of a catch to see the back of Lomror at the worst possible time for the men in pink. Mumbai was clinical in all departments and that blinder of catch by Roy was just icing on the cake for the men in blue. One of the oldest scripts in the history of the IPL has been Kieron Pollard’s special fielding at the boundary, plucking catches that seemed impossible for other players. The Indian Premier League is now 13-year-old but Pollard’s enthusiasm and athleticism have not gone down one bit and he showed it again on the night against Royals when he caught the deadly Jos Buttler at the long-on boundary when all were looking for the ball somewhere outside the rope.
