Entertaining match 1.
Defending champs GT getting the win albeit a bit nervy. The injury to Kane Williamson will be disappointing, hopefully it's not long term for them.
Haven't followed much of the transfers and players in form, so will be interest to see who wins it this season.

IPL games are longer than they should be, 10 overs an hour is slower than a test match. I reckon they’ll have a 5 hour game at some point this tournament.
I also find the rule change to review wides and no-balls quite odd, Gill reviewed a shoulder height call that he’d just hit for 4 and they wasted a minute to decide there was nothing wrong with it even though the umpire had already decided that there was nothing wrong with it.

Yea, spending 3 or 4 minutes on a wide call that the technology wasn't designed for or conclusive on seemed odd. Good game to get us going though.
CSK seems to have shot themselves on not picking another specialist bowler.
The impact of impact player Deshpande was just awful.

I think cricket needs to be careful because as we’ve seen with VAR you eventually get in a position where officials just stop making obvious calls because of technology.
On the other hand the implementation has generally been very good - umpires call is a good system, DRS is streamlined and objective with the thinking [and audio is provided], and the players clearly respect it. Think it's more of an IPL issue than a cricket one, with 2 reviews in a 20 over game which generally wont be needed for 'normal' stuff, they can 'waste' them trying it out for a free hit etc.
This is the thing for me. DRS is clearly pretty good as it is but they’ve extended it out because of a few high profile sulks on specific decisions. I hope they don’t tinker with it anymore.
GT looking good again this year.
Enjoyable games all round as well.

Alzarri Joseph is showing some serious control to go with his pace. And I agree, generally more fun than football for me currently. Though there's not really been many shocks/close games outside of the first one.
So many ads though on TV, so many.
One of these wide challenges is going to end up with the batsman being given out on snicko.
Stokes missing today, supposedly has a heel injury. Archer also left out as a precaution because of pain in his bowling arm.
Moeen ill today, Wood ill yesterday, Topley out with a dislocated shoulder and Buttler playing with a finger problem. Not the best of starts for the English players!

That was just out of this world!!

I'm not a fan of either but I cheered the hattrick loud and then the sixes at the end even louder
That being sad, what an utter bottle job by Dayal, just terrible.
Brilliant from Rinku Singh there - shades of Yuvraj.
Ja that hattrick, and then this, just crazy how this game twisted.I'm not a fan of either but I cheered the hattrick loud and then the sixes at the end even louder
I'm working, so missed this damn. Will have to watch a replay! Can somebody summarise?
wow! thanks.
Some lovely shots today from Maxwell Faf and Kohli, bowling hasn't been great, hopefully LSG give a good fight, would love to see some more craziness.
KL Rahul’s approach in T20s is a disgrace.
RCB are such a meme team!
What a chase this has been. Pooran is on fire!!
Badoni! can't make this shite up.
can't make this shite up.What drama!!
Just loving the IPL this season. Proper entertainment
What a match, what a chase.

Well that was an exciting finish!
Purple Patel couldn’t get mankad right
Well twice now we've seen 200 score chased successfully. Lovely stuff.
Immediately thought of that game when he did thatPurple Patel couldn’t get mankad right
Warner’s strike rate in this tournament has been appalling.
More drama today. Lovely stuff
Really wanted that super over though, would have been great, but man did MI make that super hard for themselves. Brilliant death bowling though from Nortje.

If he was playing in an ODI fine. But T20 no. He more than likely cost DC this game.
CSK lost but can’t believe how good MS Dhoni is still as a finisher
that second six was THE DIFFICULT shot to play. his connection was probably two inches off the ground. wow.
Considering my team Delhi are shit, I am rooting for RR. Brilliant side.
This last over in the titan/kings is fantastic
Brook with a century!
