IPL 2016: Rising Super Giants (RSG) vs Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)

What a victory for RSG and sir M. S. Dhoni importantly. Excellent bowling performance by RSG bowling unit especially Dinda who gave a flying start by picking up the key-man of SRH David Warner. In a pre-match session Murali Kartik said that R. Ashwin has not performed well because Dhoni as a captain failed to make him feel important. I want to ask Murali Kartik one question, if R. Ashwin is the wife of M. S. Dhoni? I mean why does Dhoni has to make him feel important? Isn’t it best enough that R. Ashwin is a member of best 11? Did Dhoni gave any partial treatment to him compared to others? R. Ashwin failed to bowl to the satisfaction of Dhoni as a captain and it is good enough reason for a captain not to give complete quota of overs to R. Ashwin. In the post match session Mr. Murali Kartik said RSG needed illusive victory. I think Murali Kartik meant to say convincing or snatching or decisive victory. I wonder why Harsha Bhogale is not part of the team making presentation.

Well it was certainly the best performance by M. S. Dhoni’s unit so far in this IPL.  And most important, their performance was good enough to satisfy Duckworth-Lewis equation!!! Of course RSG tried best from the beginning of the game to stay on the top of the run rate.

I think Dinda could have done little better in his last over had he tried to attack Bhuvaneshwar Kumar in his ribs as Bhuvaneshwar Kumar looked quite comfortable with the full pitched deliveries since the time he had walked in.

Steve Smith, such a pleasant sight to see Steve finally performing at his ease.

Faf du Plessis, what a reliable performance one more time from you for RSG.  Cheers!

I think may be RSG could do better by dropping R. Ashwin especially when opponents don’t have many left handed batsmen in the squad.

Sir Dhoni, you certainly made my evening pleasant and cheerful! All the best!
