That shot by Samson 
He has amazing potential.

The fact that Samson is a keeper absolutely convinces me that he will be a mainstay in the Indian team for a long long time. Though , he could just be there for his batting.
How good a 'keeper is Samson? I think when Dhoni is done (after the next WC?), Dinesh Karthik should get the gloves and Samson his understudy for a couple of years before becoming the mainstay.
Very good reflexes and extremely nimble on his feet.
Delhi management. Jesus christ, are these people on take or what? LR Shukla before Duminy again, who will be coming 4 down. Been their best player this season by far. You have to be special kind of retarded to make such decision.
Shukla will probably make a century now though

Most of the teams are way too cautious. Look at Mumbai. 11 overs gone and Pollard, Anderson and Rohit are still in the dressing room. Mental.
I love Kings 11's approach, 3 best batters come in at 3,4 and 5. Give them time to play ffs.

Chennai's a bloody amazing fielding side. Du Plessis, Jadeja, Raini, Smith, Mcculum.
Kings 11 are great to watch even more so now they've dropped Pujara. They go all out from ball 1

Aye, its not even clueless hitting either. All 3 play excellent cricketing shots.
Its all about giving yourself the best chance of getting a huge score really. Play your best batsmen high up. Currently, Rohit has played 12 balls, and you have 4 overs left with both Pollard and Anderson still in the dugout. Its mindnumbingly stupid. Its not even a case of having top class openers like Chennai have.
Wow. Du Plessis. Sensational
Finally Pollard comes in with 15 balls to go. No time to settle, come in and start hitting. At max, he gets 7-8 balls. Great management.
Best finisher in the game.
Hi Yuvi.
ABDV's 6 in this game is one of the biggest I've ever seen.
Still going up as it hit the roof.

Nice!
feck you Bangalore.
feck you Bangalore.
Game over. Fuck off.
Bangalore let it slip. Seems to be the in-thing at the moment.

I've always wondered why Faulkner bats at 7 for RR.
I think it was the 15th over which Chahal bowled where Faulkner calmly played 2 defensive shots for no runs, with the required rate going over 13. That was ominous and I knew they will chase it down.
What's wrong with Bangalore? They're the chokers of IPL. 14 fecking crores might have bought them a good bowler for the death overs but no.. they had to buy Yuvi.
Is there a better finisher in Cricket than Dhoni? Brilliant. Skill and composure, both top notch.
I had almost forgotten how good Yuvraj was

14 fecking crores.
Edit: I read that he hit some great sixes this match but still can't get the number out of my head!
14 fecking crores.
Who cares!? Play AB, Gayle, Starc and Rampaul as the foreigners and it becomes a very good team.
Jio Saha! Maxwell Miller what!?
Wow, KXIP going in.
KXIP's firepower is unbelievable.
Ridiculous from KXip. Brilliant to watch
Love the KXIP Maxwell
Maxwell Anderson contributing feckall as usual. Such a waste.
Narine's a cool cnut. Never seen him flustered or excited.
dude you're really not from Chennai? You even type like that guy.
Yusuf single handedly losing the game
I can't quite decide who is the worse captain amongst Kohli and Sharma. Every time something goes wrong, hands on hips, expletives at your team mates. Sadly one of these will eventually become the India captain too.
I like Sharma - never looks bothered. Whereas Kohli's always so pumped, can't help but laugh at him when he bottles it every other match.
Season too soon for him I think. Boys clearly got talent.
Again
