Srikanth left the CSK brand ambassador post after his term as a chief selector with BCCI was over. He moved onto Hyderabad Sunrisers and guess what he has tied up with VVS Laxman in that franchisee. Laxman's impromptu retirement last year on the eve of series vs New Zealand was attributed to some unkind comments in the media from Srikanth. And now they are bonding.
Srikanth left CSK, but he left his son in the good hands of N Srinivasan to continue get the blessings of Lord Jadeja. Today Annirudhha (whatever his spelling is) got a chance to play and he was out for a 2nd ball duck to Bhuvan Kumar.
Another sitter is dropped by T Suman for M Vijay and now Vijay shall repay the debt by a match winning innings. Damn right. I did not take him in my fantasy league today for his failure in that epic Jadeja game vs RCB.
Pune has put another good performance today in absence of their looking lost skipper Angelo Mathews who could not play vs CSK being a Lankan and see the result. The batting prospered, the selections were great and the 2 Aussies contributed to take the Warriors to a healthy total of 159 for 5. Not the winning one, but still better than their previous games.
And if they could check Dhoni and Vijay after they get Raina, the match could be another close affair. Don't count on Sir Jadeja to come through again today. His chance of coming good is done in last game and he would make it count with 3 or 4 failures back to back.
I was wondering if DADA would still say Dinda is the best fast bowler in the country after what he did vs Mumbai Indians.
So far Bhu1 has given away 3 runs in 2 overs with 1 wicket and 1 maiden. On the other hand Dinda babu has given away 7 in 1. 2 more fours conceded. I think that should be it for Dinda in this game at least. If he bowls more, then it is injurious to Pune's campaign in this IPL.
Bhu1 takes out Raina, now only Dabrinath and Dhoni remain before Sir Jadeja appears.
