Could not see match entirely but MI did post really very good total on the board, so good that despite poor bowling performance they could get saved from another taunting defeat. They were almost there, about to get defeated by very cool and composed performance by Rajasthan Royals but I guess it was not RR's day today.
At presentation ceremony Rohit Sharma mentioned that "it's good we know now what everybody can contribute." really??? really Rohit knows?
I wonder sometimes why Kieron Pollard does not get a chance to bowl, especially when full time bowlers are getting smashed out of the boundary very often. Does Rohit understand Kieron's skills and capability? At least it does not look like. Or is it that Kieron has not been paid for his batting skills? ;) j/k
Today MI had a chance to win by significant difference, to contribute to their run rate performance.
But they never looked that determined and played more like let the victory come on it's own and not like 'make things happen' performance.
MI's strength is strong batting. To remain victorious MI should ensure that they do not fail on their
batting performance while strengthening bowling and fielding department. I find the best Malinga
does not look to be that Best as he used to be earlier and being consistently beaten in this IPL. Probably MI could think of dropping this Star foreign player to make best possible use of available foreign talent pool by selecting some other all rounder or specialized batsman or specialized bowler.
Vinay Kumar!!! what full-tossed deliveries he was bowling that too in last over? screwing the team. Does MI have any other option instead of him, or may be at least he should not be given last over?
While Harbhajan trying his best to keep batsmen under pressure. I think Suchit could do little bit better by bowling on the outside the off-stump or keeping his attack on the stump and avoid any extra wide down the leg side of the batsman.
Sanju Samson!!! what an inning boy. Fantastic and entertaining!
MI team as whole is not a bad selection, but captain? I believe yes. MI could have done much better with Yuvaraj as their captain I think.
