oh KKR. after looking at the teams KKR and RPS each have won, I am getting a feeling that KKR's brilliant season is slowly coming to an end. KKR have lost to SRH, RPS, GL. Although they had beaten SRH and GL in the respective reverse fixtures, today does not support this case. GL are anyways not a threat to the top 4. Looking at pune's results, it shows they have beaten GL, RCB( twice, for max points from the worst team so far), MI(twice!, the seeming title contender), SRH. They also have lost to GL, DD, KXIP and KKR. The points are shared with GL from one win and one loss; games are yet to be played against DD and KXIP (victory over DD is almost sure, but over KXIP might be tough). We can clearly see that RPS have beaten all those teams that can cause nuisance in their march to the top 4. Now KKR are left. Resurgent SRH, RPS and KXIP are now the emerging threats to KKR, who seem to be cruising just one week ago.
So, RPS should win today without going to the last over or creating any other fuss, with today's major impact players being Rahane and Dhoni.
Result: three cheers to the ipl and its compulsions. A puny target of 156 but I should have expected a last over finish yet again. A sad tripathi missed his century, no fireworks from either of my impact players (tried to be the octopus). He could have finished the game with a century but no, dan Christian had to finish with a last six. Anyways, pune won the game as expected.
