E sala cup Namde and other imagination stories. 14th edition

NO. I would rather go with 3 foreigners than play either...

Well the Hindi commentators said that it's going to be hard to score 130 on this pitch. The fact that we made ~140 is a lot, and we would have had a good chance to defend as well if not for that 22 run over. VK also said it in the presentation..

Even before that BIG over, the RRR was only 6.6 with 8 wickets in hand and Nitish was attacking Maxwell. After that over, KKR just paced themselves in cruise control.
Why Shahbaz did not bowl at all is another question unanswered, with the kind of assist the spinners were getting.

He has said he is going to play for a few more years in the Star Sports interview. Pretty sure RCB won't sell him..

We could still see him in Mzansi League in SA...

Who is the likely target/choice for captainship?
I definitely don't want KL Rahul to come and lead the team, he is not a LEADER.

As per reports KL Rahul requested Punjab Kings to not retain him for mega auction. He want to play for other team

Definitely KL. with this management, pretty sure KL will come out good. If not him, then Iyer

I don't believe in Rahul's captaincy as of now. He was poor with Punjab; totally unimaginative.
Kumble's negative/defensive mindset didn't help either.
Sreyas Iyer is a decent option.

[Justlita22]

Out of all 8 IPL Teams in this edition of IPL, KKR Spinners have been best in all 3 Aspects be it in Wicket taking, Economy & most important in teams winning Ratio in IPL 2021.

Hatts of Team Management to back Spinners in UAE pitches where Pacers have dominated more.

Rahul at 5 or 6, great option to have.
Rahul as opener, not so.
