Editor’s Pick(CPL): St Kitts and Nevis Patriots

As the tournament is heading towards the next round, it is time to take stock of the placements of the different teams on the points table. The knights are still shining with 12 points. St Kitts and Nevis Patriots come second with 9 points followed by Jamaica Tallawahs. Today’s match is between the teams ranking second and third. They are both in fairly good form, and aiming for the top place.

Let’s take a look at my lineup.

You will find a lot of veterans on my team. I am the old is gold type. I put my faith in some of the experienced players who still have a lot to offer in the game. Hence it surprises me when even the likes of Dhoni, who are still in their prime of life, are asked questions about their retirement. The youngsters need the guidance before they become the life of the team. In my opinion, if you pass the fitness test, you must be given the opportunity to prove your place in the team. Age is just a number. I see a fab idea for a separate blog on this.

What do you think?

Editor’s Pick (Nidahas T20): India - Sri Lanka

The table is currently in a very surprising situation. Most expected Sri Lanka to show Bangladesh the door. But here they are still standing up and shining. The tournament is wide open. Today’s match is between India and Sri Lanka. The stakes are much higher now that Bangladesh is more feared than before. The teams would not want to risk anything at this point. Earlier I had said that they might experiment with the lineup and give everyone a chance. Now it will be more than giving people a chance. They will strategize. The Indian team will be open to experimentation, but not at the cost of results.

The untested ones are Deepak Hooda, KL Rahul, and Axar Patel. India has lost to Sri Lanka in their first encounter of this tournament. They will want to be wary because another defeat could cost them the tournament itself. So, not all the new players will see the light today.
A lot depends on Rohit Sharma today. Shikhar Dhawan, Suresh Raina, Manish Pandey and Dinesh Karthik will chip in too.…

Chennai beats Mumbai and clinch thriller

It is not just about coming back. It is about the impact you make in the process. And Chennai team knows how to with a bang. The Chennai team beat the home team by one wicket in what was an absolute sit-at-the-end-of-the-chair thriller. It was one of the best chases the tournament has seen and it most definitely won't be the last. The player who made the difference in the end - Jadhav - literally came back from the dead after retiring hurt to take his team to the finish line by hitting the ball in style with a six and a four. Batting on one leg and playing an absolutely unbelievable shot, this player leveled the scores first with a six and finished the match with a four.
Key Points MI has never won their opener since 2013.This was Chennai's first win against MI in an opener of this T20 League DRS used in the league for the first time Bravo: It was a great team effort. I want to dedicate this win to the CSK fan, they have waited long for it. I came very early. I …
