Two blockbuster games on the Super Sunday. The first match, Delhi versus Mumbai, where Mumbai had, I believe, had seized the game.
00:16
Hello, everyone. Welcome to Straight Bad with Gulf News and Mr. Cricket UAE. That is Anish Sajan.
00:23
Today is day two of IPL and what a cracking day today. Two good matches and two great
00:31
chases. The first of the double header turned out to be an exhilarating contest today.
00:37
Joining me and Anish today is Gulf News Sports Editor Satish. Before we get into it,
00:46
let's head over to Anish to find out what he thinks about today's following games.
00:51
Hi, Shyam and hello to all the beautiful people of Gulf News. Two blockbuster games on the Super
00:56
Sunday. The first match, Delhi versus Mumbai, where Mumbai had, I believe, had seized the game.
01:02
But somehow, Akshar Patel and Ilalit Yadav pulled off a coup. And in the last game,
01:07
which I was witness to the game live at the Dubai Padil Stadium, Punjab finally broke the jinx of
01:13
winning closed games and went on to win a game. Thanks to Devon Smith and of course, to the other
01:18
players. But I'm happy Punjab were there finally through this game. Satish, tell us about the first
01:25
game where Mumbai looked home and dry before Akshar Patel and Lillit Yadav pulled up the
01:33
chestnuts from the fire. I think it is not just Mumbai, Shyam. If you look at the entire episode,
01:42
the last three games, the teams have been quite reliant on the pace bowlers.
01:49
But the pace bowlers are leaking runs. So I think the biggest disadvantage in Mumbai's
01:54
game was they had just one spinner in Murugan Ashwin. So I think that's where they went wrong.
02:01
And the wicket is actually nicely, the ball is coming onto the bat nicely. So it makes it that
02:06
much more easier when the ball comes in fast as well. So I think that's where every team got wrong.
02:11
If you look at all the teams, whether it is Mumbai, whether it is even, for that matter,
02:15
RCB, they have not been… Even RCB, they had two spinners. But I think that their left-hand spinner,
02:24
he just bowled one over. So I think that's where the teams are misleading the conditions.
02:32
Okay. Coming back to Anis. Anis, Delhi's chase was incredible, isn't it? And
02:38
considering that they are without Warner, they are without Nokia,
02:43
they are also without Mitchell Marshall. And what a chase that was.
02:49
Yes. To be very honest, you know what, Delhi were without the key players. But you have to…
02:55
At one time, to be very honest, I had even written an article, please, that Mumbai cannot be beaten
03:00
in Mumbai. And went on to backing both of you guys who said that, no, Mumbai cannot be taken out easy.
03:05
But in the end, both Aksar Patel and Lalit Yadav, you have to give it to him because Lalit Yadav
03:11
dug it in. And with the support of Aksar Patel, ensured that the victory was taken. And I would
03:16
say for the first time, generally, Mumbai does this to the opposition. This time, Delhi did it to Mumbai.
03:22
Alright. Satish, there are two great performances there. One from Ishaan Kishan,
03:26
who justified his five-stack. And what a return from Kuldeep.
03:30
Absolutely, Shyam. Absolutely. Like Kuldeep Yadav… Unfortunately, he was not able to get a
03:34
chance in Kolkata because they already had two Mistryx spinners. And a third Chinaman bowler
03:39
is a luxury for them. But the moment he moved out, he was played and a brilliant show. And the first
03:48
wicket of Rohit Sharma changed the entire approach of him. Because I think he became more confident
03:54
and his approach was quite good. And then his entire rhythm was good after that. So,
04:02
brilliant performance from Kuldeep Yadav, which augurs well for the Indian team because
04:07
I think he can be a good T20 specialist coming to the World Cup. So, that's a good one.
04:13
And Ishaan Kishan, we all expected him. Even last year, the team was backing him. Only thing is,
04:19
I think he was under too much pressure to perform. So, he was not able to deliver the good.
04:24
But this year, starting from the first game, they backed him. And he also must have been a bit easy
04:31
to play. So, he got a good knock. Both are very good performances. And it should do well for the
04:38
Indian team going forward to the year. Before we wrap up, Aniz, what is the takeaway from the
04:45
Punjab game? I mean, they seem to come after… Even after every fall of every major wicket,
04:54
whether Livingston is gone or whether it is anybody, they kept going. And the positivity
05:01
was amazing. So, what is your key takeaway here? Honestly, this was a match which I could see
05:07
live and right in front of my eyes. It was a belter of a wicket. 200 was a par score, not a
05:13
match score where you could say that RCB batted them out. But what was important that they got
05:20
a good start in the powerplay through their openers. And then they went on. Livingston, even though
05:24
played a cameo, but very importantly, they batted Hasaranga very smartly. And if you ask me the
05:31
takeaway, what was important is Shah Rukh Khan kept his head down. And with the support of Odin Smith,
05:36
who probably leaked a lot of runs, he ensured that he scored big runs when required and mattered.
05:41
And they won with that more than an over to spare. So, I'm happy Punjab won.
05:45
And finally, they broke the jinx of winning close games.
05:49
Absolutely.
05:55
You can't deny that. Kohli batted well for Faf. What an inning that is. But Punjab Kings,
06:00
look at that. Shikhar Dhawan, Mayank Agarwal, Vanuka Rajapakshe, Livingston and Shah Rukh Khan.
06:08
What a performance and hats off to them. And if these matches actually set the tone for the rest
06:17
of the IPL, I think we are in store for some great games. And please join us every day for our video

06:35
where he gets a t-shirt, track pant and a cap from Gulf News.
