00:00I have no words just to say about KL Rahul. We all know what the other Rahul did yesterday by hitting two sixes. This Rahul probably went back to the original Rahul.
00:18Welcome to Straight Bat Golf News with Mr. Cricket UAE, Anish Sajjan.
00:24We are having a weekly round-up of what happened in the IPL this week, with fans of all the teams, all the ten teams basically, coming in and letting us know and sharing their experiences, their thoughts with all our Golf News readers.
00:41And to start with, I will talk to Anish Bhai. Anish Bhai, let us take us through today's game. What do you think about today's game and of course, the main moot point, Rahul's captaincy?
00:57Thank you, Satish. And hello to all the beautiful fans of all the franchise and to all the beautiful people of Golf News. Thank you for logging in.
01:06Well, Satish, I have no words just to say about KL Rahul. We all know what the other Rahul did yesterday by hitting two sixes.
01:14This Rahul probably went back to the original Rahul. And he has a habit of forgetting and giving an opportunity to the opponents.
01:21Probably he forgot he had taken Stoinis. In fact, he had retained Stoinis in the squad before the auction. And he forgot that he had to send him to bat because he got out for a blob.
01:30But such things probably happen with Rahul and whichever team he captains. Nonetheless, we have had an exciting IPL. Today, Delhi winning against KKR. The IPL table has opened up.
01:44And with RR winning. So, I will leave it to all the fans which you can take one by one as to how they feel their team is fanned out.
01:53So, let's talk to the RR fans now. I think Rajasthan Royals… Dilip is there. What do you think, Dilip? Tell us about today's match.
02:07Thank you very much for asking and having me here. Basically, this is the first time in the IPL history I have ever seen the Rajasthan Royals team is a complete bundle of unity, basically we can say.
02:23Like six perfect batsmen are there, five perfect bowlers are there. So, I think this is one of the best teams. And in today's game, you know, today's game definitely Rahul made a couple of mistakes.
02:36But here I would like to say, they won the match but around 19 over, how Stoenis hit the sixes and the fours, it was looking like they will easily win the match.
02:52But still, I believe this Sanju Samson had a strong belief in the new bowler. And he has done the last over tremendously well. Three dot balls, outstanding game.
03:07And one more thing I would like to add here. Like Sanju Samson, he is one of the best captains. But today he made one mistake. Fortunately, they won the match. But they should have kept the one over of the bond for the last over.
03:25Because they know Stoenis is there and he is going to come at the end of the game. And he can hit anywhere across the ground. But fortunately, they won the match. And I am very happy because I am from the Rajasthan Royals and I am sitting in the Pink City, Jaipur.
03:49Over to you.
03:50Well done. Well done.
03:51Okay. Now, Anisbhai, I will come back to you in a minute. Or rather, I will come back to you right now. Do you think that one mistake Sanju made of not keeping his regular bowlers and going for a debutant in the last over, do you think it was a gamble?
04:12Fortunately, it paid off. But it could have cost them the match?
04:16Now, in hindsight, to be very honest, Satish, you know, I have always believed in going for the kill. And I would give credit to Sanju Samson for going for the kill and making sure that the match went.
04:26Rather, they required 60 runs. Very rarely such things happen. Today, because we came close, we were talking about that Sanju made that mistake. But everybody has an opinion.
04:38I always, when you have bowlers doing well, you should go for the kill and not keep them for Christmas. Because even Bolt would have gone for two or three sixes. That's the way I look at it.
04:47Okay. Now, from the other side, the Lucknow fan…
04:52Srisanth.
04:53Srisanth. What do you think, Srisanth?
04:57His picture is there, but I can't see him. Hello? Can you hear us, Srisanth? Srikanth? He's not there. We move ahead. He's not there.
05:12Is it Shresth?
05:14Yeah, yeah. Shresth is there. But he doesn't seem to hear us and nor can we see his picture.
05:21Okay. Now, again, since we'll come back to Shresth in a little while. Now, let's go to the earlier game. Delhi, a surprise win today against KKR. So, let's hear it from the Delhi fan, Yatharth.
05:36Yatharth has also not come. So, let's go to KKR fan.
05:41Yeah. KKR…
05:43Maaz.
05:44Maaz. What's your thought? I'm sure you are disappointed.
05:50Well, yes. To be honest, I am disappointed. As I've mentioned earlier, we haven't played our best cricket yet.
05:56It has been usually the individual performances that have won us matches, be it Pat Cummins in the previous match and Rirasal or Umesh Yadav in the second match, I guess.
06:05So, today, unfortunately, there was not a great individual performance. Yes, Shreyas Iyer did hit a half century, but it was not enough towards the end.
06:14And I feel like, you know, the opening pair of Ajinkya Rahan and Venkatesh Iyer is not fighting up for us.
06:20So, I think a change over there, maybe Aaron Finch or a local player would make it better for us.
06:27And, you know, because of not having a good start, it's putting pressure on Shreyas Iyer.
06:31He wants to play aggressive, but he's playing way more than what he would like to. And he's giving up his wickets because of that reason.
06:39Bowling has been good so far. If you guys would have seen today, there was a poll in the match, which team has a better seam attack, DC or KKR.
06:48So, we got like a 77% on that. So, you know, we have good seam attack. And Sunil Narayan, as always, has been phenomenal.
06:55So, disappointed with today's game, but so far, I think we are on a good track. Just a few changes and we will be good.
07:04You must be happy, right? Because you used to support Delhi.
07:12I mean, I'm a KKR fan, but like, you know, second favorite is DC. So, not sad, not happy.
07:20Okay. Now, coming back to yesterday's game between Mumbai and RCB or rather Mumbai's performance so far in this IPL so far.
07:30Mumbai fan, I think it is Naresh.
07:36I happened to be at the ground yesterday. I live in Pune. And I was a bit disappointed to see there were a lot of RCB fans on the ground compared to Mumbai, being close to Mumbai.
07:48Okay.
07:49But yeah, the last week, you know, what happened on Thursday, I think it was Wednesday when we played KKR, which was much more bouncy track compared to what we played yesterday.
07:59And how so many runs were scored behind the wicket with edges, like how Pollard got 23 of Pat Cummins in the last over.
08:07And obviously, Pat Cummins gave it back with lot of premium 35 in one over that he batted.
08:13But yeah, our weakness of bowling or the limitation of bowling is very obvious.
08:18The changes yesterday, you can say were a bit surprising.
08:23Playing, you can say, except for Pollard, all Indian origin bowlers, the overseas bowlers were dropped to strengthen the batting.
08:32And that is my fear going ahead that we know the limitation of bowling.
08:36Are they expecting that the batters now look at a target plus 20 runs for every game because we have limitations with the ball and that adds to the pressure.
08:45So, we will have to see what changes in the bowling happen.
08:49I would have liked to see Fabian Allen right away because in the past, Mumbai has played two spinners and have succeeded.
08:57One left arm, one leg spinner.
09:00And that is now with a change in that approach, it is adding pressure on Bumrah also.
09:06He is not amongst wickets.
09:08And yesterday's batting failure, that collapse at that score of 62, we lost I think 3 or 4 wickets.
09:14It was very, very disappointing.
09:15Almost 5, I think.
09:16Yeah.
09:17If not for Surya, we wouldn't have even touched 110, 120.
09:22But yeah, some positives.
09:24Two games out of the four, Ishan and Rohit Sharma have batted the power play and got 50+.
09:31But then they haven't gone along except for Ishan in the first game.
09:35They haven't gone to play a long inning.
09:37Surya Kumar did well in both the games.
09:40Tilak Verma has shown some good signs of his potential.
09:45But yeah, we need to just ensure that there is no additional pressure on the batters and they are playing freely.
09:51Because the attacking batting approach has been Mumbai's success in the last few years.
09:56The 5-6-7, we have struggled with that also in this season.
10:01Sorry to interrupt.
10:04Coming at the back of your own backyard.
10:08Because generally, last year at least, Mumbai struggled in UAE wickets.
10:12But here, Mumbai was quite unbeatable over the years in Mumbai or the familiar conditions.
10:18Do you think it's very alarming?
10:20See, in the end, they retained 4, their best and the most tenured.
10:26And Ishan has come in 5.
10:28The issue is, the remaining 6 probably, they are not yet sure who is that combination.
10:34And that is where the issue is coming.
10:36Rohit Sharma and Surya Kumar are the most experienced in these conditions.
10:40Ishan Kishan's weakness is very obvious when there is lot of pace.
10:45And the oversees that they have tried, whether it is at 3 or 5, Tim David, Deval Brevis, Daniel Sams.
10:54They have struggled against spin.
10:56Even Pollard is not what we have seen him in the past with the bat.
11:00So, this all collectively.
11:0221 failure was also collective.
11:04The entire middle order was not coming together.
11:07Here, I think the batters have done better.
11:09The bowling has not yet come together.
11:11That is where they will have to really put their...
11:15Like going back to the drawing board.
11:17What's the combination?
11:19Because where are the wicket-takers?
11:21You know, Bumrah 4 overs but then he is getting additional pressure.
11:25You need wicket-takers.
11:27You need to complement Bumrah restricting the runs.
11:30That is not happening.
11:32Though Basil was much better yesterday.
11:34But we need consistency.
11:37I still feel they bought back Markandey.
11:40He should have been there right from day 1.
11:42But we have gone ahead with Ashwin in the 4 games.
11:46But I think Markandey would do better.
11:48Pitches are going to get slower going ahead.
11:50It's 2 weeks now.
11:51Markandey would get turned.
11:53So, yeah.
11:55I think main is let the batters not feel that pressure.
11:59And that's going to be the key going ahead.
12:02Very good. Lovely.
12:04Nice composite analysis of your Mumbai team.
12:09And RCB fans, Sanjay must be happy.
12:12Because over the years, the RCB fans were thinking,
12:17when will they win?
12:19And with the new captaincy, Faf is leading them to a good place.
12:24And they have won some quite close games.
12:26Sanjay, your thoughts.
12:28Yeah, before the match started yesterday,
12:33what I analysed is, they had Taimur Mills who was best in the death bowling.
12:37Because in the previous match against KKR,
12:39Bumrah and Taimur Mills both come and they took 5 wickets in the death.
12:43So, after the toss, when I see the changes in the Mumbai Indians team,
12:47no Taimur Mills, then I got a slight of relief.
12:49So, Bumrah individually can't handle the pressure as Naresh had told.
12:53Because apart from the 4 overs, he has to manage to get the dot balls.
12:57He has to manage to get the wickets.
12:58He'll have much pressure.
12:59And coming to our bowling, our bowling was pretty awesome yesterday.
13:03Hasaranga, in the par play, went for 13 runs.
13:06Still, some instinct, Faf trusted him.
13:09He bought back in the 7th over.
13:10He took Pollard for a golden duck, which is the greatest advantage for us.
13:15Though it was umpire's call, but Hasaranga did amazing.
13:18And Maxwell gave his arrival in style by getting Tilak Verma's run out.
13:23That was some amazing feeling from Maxwell.
13:26Aakash Deep was good with the one wicket made in.
13:29And the way he got Ishan Kishan, the way he read his weakness,
13:33and the field placement.
13:34Siraj in the right position, getting.
13:36So, the best thing I would tell is, best memory is Harshal Patel,
13:41the man who loves MI a lot from last year.
13:44Yeah, yeah.
13:45He's been after us now.
13:47Major director of Rohit Sharma, Cottonbolt.
13:50Then two crucial wickets of MI.
13:52Siraj has been a little off the form, I guess.
13:55Correct.
13:56He scored most of the runs in Siraj over.
13:59We saw a 25 run over in the last 19th over.
14:02Siraj licked 25 runs.
14:04But Harshal, this year he has been very economical for us.
14:07And when you come to our batting, Faf failed a bit because the last two outings,
14:15Faf has not been that much up to the mark.
14:18And we saw a new batsman yesterday.
14:20Anuj Rawat stepped up as a youngster.
14:22Finally, he started scoring runs.
14:24And we always know Koel is off the pressure this time.
14:28And he's always batting well.
14:31With the one decision of umpire yesterday, he missed his well deserved off.
14:36I don't know what was umpire to be.
14:38They went for the third umpire and he was like, stay with the on-field decision.
14:42As usual, DK is still finishing things for us.
14:45DK is still unbeaten.
14:47Four matches, he's still unbeaten.
14:49So, I'm pretty much happy.
14:51Maxwell is like, I just come.
14:53I just do my job.
14:54Take two fours.
14:55I want team to the victory.
14:56I'll go back to the dugout and I'll enjoy with the team.
14:58So, but looking forward for the next game, it's Chennai.
15:01We have to be cautious because Chennai is the team of comeback.
15:04We tell you every time.
15:05So, as Harshal might not be available because he broke the quarantine
15:11due to some personal issues.
15:12Keeping that in mind, if we get a proper replacement for Harshal,
15:15we can sack Chennai for 5-5.
15:18Okay, very good.
15:20And I think a Lucknow fan, Shrestha has joined us.
15:23And he must be eager to talk about today's game.
15:28Of course, Shrestha, go for it.
15:31What do you think?
15:32What happened today?
15:33After a very good show so far.
15:35Yes, today actually, they felt like they three-run shot, right?
15:42So, I felt actually Stoinis could have gone a little up the order.
15:47And maybe instead of Kouda or someone else.
15:52Because he was playing after a long time, Stoinis.
15:55And he normally doesn't go that much low up the order.
16:00Low down the order.
16:02Yes, low down the order.
16:03So, I felt he should have gone little bit like 4 or 5 down.
16:08So that you can keep the momentum from start.
16:13And then we lost first early two wickets.
16:16That too.
16:17And it was really a big blow at the start.
16:23So, yeah.
16:27Hopefully, we have a good team actually.
16:30We can always fight through till the end.
16:34So, we showed that today also.
16:36And it's just been five matches.
16:39So, three wins.
16:41You must be happy, isn't it?
16:43In the first season, three wins out of five.
16:45You must be happy.
16:46Yes.
16:47It's a really good start actually.
16:49They just need to find a good balance in the batting order, I feel.
16:54Then they can start winning matches.
16:58More matches.
16:59Very good.
17:01Okay.
17:02Arjan has been waiting.
17:04And he is eager to talk about his favorite team.
17:08CSK.
17:09CSK.
17:10Take us through, Arjan.
17:12What's happening with CSK through the week?
17:15And of course, what next for CSK?
17:17Will they be able to come back?
17:19Of course, the match against Punjab was an absolute wreck.
17:27I don't think it could have gone any worse.
17:32But when you talk about the match, I'd say we had a few core issues.
17:39First of all, I don't want to repeat myself.
17:43But I would not say JJ is a good captain at all.
17:47Maybe CSK can take one IPL season and maybe groom him into a captain.
17:57But I think next season, it's going to be somebody else.
18:00Maybe Rayudu or Uthappa.
18:02Not Dhoni?
18:04If Rayudu or Uthappa are playing, Dhoni might as well play, isn't it?
18:10You know, Dhoni is getting a little bit old.
18:14You'd have expected him to retire by now.
18:18But the goal for CSK fans is to keep going.
18:22And if he makes that sacrifice of not being a captain,
18:26as long as I can still see Dhoni play in CSK matches, I'm happy.
18:32Okay, great.
18:34So, SRH fan Samruth, is he there?
18:42Yes, I'm here.
18:44So, after a disappointing start, you must be happy that at least the MRC derby,
18:50Sunrisers have won the MRC derby for a change.
18:54So, your thoughts on Sunrisers and do you think they will continue to keep winning?
19:00Or do you think they got the composition right?
19:04Or what do you think is the way forward?
19:06I think the sun has finally risen for us.
19:10I think this was a complete team performance.
19:12I think this is what you call a vintage Sunrisers performance.
19:14Started off by exception bowling from Natarajan and Bhuvaneswar Kumar.
19:18And then Abhishek Sharma.
19:20And I want to talk about Abhishek Sharma here.
19:22Because Abhishek Sharma was with us since the last 2-3 years.
19:24But since we had Warner and Beshto, he was not able to open the leagues.
19:28But in this particular option, Tom Moody and the team management was sure that we want to open with Abhishek Sharma.
19:34Because he is a natural opener for Punjab as well.
19:36And he has hit 100s in T20 cricket.
19:38So, that came in handy for us.
19:40And as me being a Sunrisers fan, it was a bit sad.
19:42Because every other team, youngsters were performing except for Sunrisers.
19:47But this season, Abhishek Sharma performing is really a very good thing for us.
19:51And that will take pressure off Kane Williamson as well.
19:53I think we have our combination set for this particular season.
19:56And hopefully, we can carry forward this momentum into the upcoming games.
20:00I just want one change in place of Umran Malik.
20:03I want to play Karthik Tyagi.
20:04Because we all know how impressive Karthik Tyagi has been in the last couple of years.
20:07Umran Malik, except for that swiggy faster delivery of the match, I don't think he has been doing well.
20:12So, that one change, I think hopefully we can carry forward the momentum in the upcoming matches.
20:18But with the pace, any given day, he can turn the match around for you, isn't it?
20:22Yeah. But I think he has been very inconsistent as well. He has been leaking runs.
20:27And Karthik Tyagi also has the pace.
20:29I think he is a bit more experienced and a bit more reliable as well.
20:32So, that was one change I would want.
20:36Okay. Before I go to the other two fans of Punjab and Gujarat.
20:42Anisbhai, your thoughts on the week or the last couple of weeks of IPL.
20:48How it's been and the team that has done well or the team that has started off well but not going well.
20:57Your thoughts on the entire episode.
21:01Well, Satish, out of 20 games, I believe we have had 13 or 14 close games.
21:05So, you should say this has been one of the tightest IPLs.
21:08Very close. Very difficult to pick a winner.
21:10I know all the captains winning the toss have decided to field.
21:14Out of which probably 14 matches have been won by team batting second.
21:22You got to give that.
21:23But I sometimes feel baffled in day against why captains decide to bat second.
21:27I mean, there is no doubt.
21:28But anyways, such things happen because everybody wants to have a target in mind.
21:32But if you have to ask me which team is doing well, for my surprise or everybody's liking,
21:40I would say all the Gujarat fans liking.
21:42They have come up with a surprise package with Pandya leading from the front.
21:45With the bat and the ball.
21:46When I say leading from the front, he is having a very shrewd mind in his captainship.
21:50And if I have to pick the second team who has done well is RCB.
21:54We do respect Virat Kohli.
21:57But Fabre Duflessis' captainship, you can see the difference in his captainship.
22:03If I have to say disappointing, obviously the two big guns, Chennai and Mumbai have been pretty disappointing.
22:07But as everybody says, they have won too many.
22:09So you have to think about the other teams.
22:11We have to see now, to be very honest, how the third week pans out.
22:15Because every game is like a lottery.
22:17You just can't predict.
22:19We will have to wait and watch how the next week pans out.
22:23And your thoughts on the biggest find or the best youngsters so far?
22:28Like whom do you pick on his bike?
22:32If I had to pick one, to be very honest, even though he failed today, I would go for Ayush Padhoni.
22:35Because I find him a very cool and calm, composed player.
22:38And today also, the singles which he was taking was very composed.
22:42He tried to hit out Yujendra Chahar.
22:45He didn't get the elevation.
22:47But I wouldn't blame him because he has won them three games, which is good enough signs of a youngster.
22:55Now let's go to the Punjab and Gujarat fans.
22:59Both must be really happy.
23:01Gujarat winning the first year and Gujarat doing exceedingly well.
23:06And Punjab fans have been waiting for such a scenario where they have been waiting for the team to do well.
23:12But finally, it looks like it's coming good for Punjab.
23:16Anmol, talk to us about your team.
23:19How do you feel now?
23:20Is Anmol there?
23:23It is a mixed kind of emotions for my team.
23:26They win one, they lose one.
23:28They win one, they lose one.
23:30It was the last match with Gujarat.
23:33Actually, I have to say the harsh word.
23:35I hate the man, Rahul Tavatiya.
23:39I don't love to see this man's face.
23:44He brings darkness every time.
23:46Last time, when he came with Arar, the team changed.
23:50But the hate towards Punjab is not changing.
23:55After all, everything went well with the match.
23:58They passed the power score.
24:01Punjab passed the power score.
24:02Livingston was extremely well.
24:04He is a golden arm for Punjab Kings.
24:06I must say goodbye from Punjab Kings.
24:12They didn't start well with the ball.
24:14Punjab didn't start well.
24:15But after that, Arshadib's elite death bowling.
24:19I must say that this youngster has really impressed us.
24:24But after that, Odin Smith didn't have to give that one run.
24:28That one run cost us two points.
24:35Gujarat fan, Akash.
24:40You must be very happy that one run was given.
24:44At the right time or the wrong time.
24:47Either way, which side of the team you are in.
24:49And after that, Tavatiya comes and hits two sixes.
24:52Did you expect it to happen?
24:54No, no. Obviously, that was not expected at all.
24:57And he turned around the match in the last over.
25:00It was fantastic for us.
25:01The entire team is a complete package right now.
25:06If I were to host the team, I would say that I don't need any changes as of now.
25:11The team is going well. 3 out of 3.
25:13It is a perfectly mixed match.
25:16The bowling attack is very strong right now.
25:18With Rashid Khan and Mohammad Shami playing very good.
25:21And even Loki Ferguson is giving some good performance.
25:24So, the bowling attack is very strong.
25:26And the middle order supported by Hardik Pandya is also very good.
25:30But the top order is still a bit dizzy from my side.
25:33Apart from Shubham Gill.
25:35Which he performed good.
25:36But the next two batsmen like David Miller and Matthew Wade are not performing very good.
25:43So, the top order needs to gear up.
25:45And after that, the team will be a complete package.
25:49And the overall performance is absolutely very good.
25:52So, I think they should continue with this performance.
25:55And we will go ahead and take the cup.
25:57Wow! That must be a good one.
26:00So, you will be doing what Rajasthan did in the first IPL.
26:04Like winning the cup as a debutant team.
26:07Yeah. So, I was coming to that.
26:09The team, Gujarat Titans, exactly reminds me of the Rajasthan Royals in the first season.
26:15They are the underdogs.
26:16There are no star names in the team.
26:18And out of nowhere, the team won the cup.
26:22Some of those players are still playing.
26:25Like Ravindra Jadeja, Rohit Sharma.
26:27All these guys are part of those initial years of the Rajasthan Royals, isn't it?
26:33Some of these guys are there.
26:36Yeah. But in the Gujarat Titans, there are no big names I can see.
26:39And still, the performance of these two-star players are very good right now.
26:44So, I think that they have all the qualities right now.
26:48And I would go with no changes with the team.
26:50And I would like the team to continue as it is.
26:52Lovely. Very good.
26:54Okay. Anizabhai, to wrap up the show.
26:58So, what do you think?
27:01Will Mumbai and Chennai make their moves in the coming week?
27:08Very difficult question, to be very honest.
27:10They might make the move, but I believe it is a bit late.
27:13Even though they still have 10 matches left.
27:15We have seen in the past, Mumbai and CSK do bouncing back.
27:20But now we have got little more competition.
27:23And they don't have the same team as they used to have before.
27:27We will have to wait and watch.
27:28But I will quickly ask all the fans one-one question.
27:31I will start with the top, with Naresh.
27:34Mumbai, give me your four teams which will make it to the playoffs.
27:38It is still early, but we will just take your guesses quickly.
27:42You don't have to say in order, just say.
27:44I see Rajasthan, RCB, Punjab and Gujarat.
27:51Okay, we have locked it.
27:53Akash, tell me your four teams.
27:56Which are your four teams? Gujarat?
27:58Yeah, Gujarat obviously.
27:59And I would go with KKR, RCB.
28:02And the last one I would go with surprise package is Mumbai.
28:06Because every time they lose their first four matches and they come back.
28:09Okay, Dilip Bhai, apart from Rajasthan, who else?
28:12Yeah, of course Rajasthan, Punjab, Lucknow and Gujarat.
28:17Okay, Arjun.
28:22Four teams.
28:26So with Rajasthan, Gujarat, Bangalore and Lucknow.
28:34No Chennai?
28:35Okay, Punjab, quickly.
28:37Punjab, RR, Lucknow and RCB.
28:42You sure you want RR?
28:43Again, Tevatiya will come.
28:45No, no, no Tevatiya and RR.
28:50Okay, Sanjay.
28:53Yeah, my four teams are RCB, Gujarat Titans, KKR and Delhi Capitals.
28:59Yes, my four teams are Lucknow, RCB, Rajasthan and Gujarat.
29:04And you will please pass one message to Rahul.
29:08Why did you send Gautam and hold your head up?
29:11Join us.
29:12We want an answer from Rahul for this.
29:14Okay.
29:15Okay, Samrudh.
29:19Sunrisers, Delhi, Punjab and Lucknow.
29:23I would go with KKR, DC, Gujarat and Rajasthan.
29:27Satish, you?
29:30Mine, I would go with RCB, Delhi, KKR and I'm a Chennai fan.
29:36So I would still go with Chennai.
29:38I'm expecting them to make that move now.
29:40Sorry, Arjun.
29:41You'll tell me.
29:42You'll tell me.
29:43You'll tell me.
29:44You'll tell me.
29:45You'll tell me.
29:46You'll tell me.
29:47You'll tell me.
29:48You'll tell me.
29:49You'll tell me.
29:50Sorry, Arjun.
29:51You didn't back but I'm backing Chennai.
29:59Yeah, Anisbhai.
30:00Go for it.
30:01Your four teams.
30:03Okay, I'll go with RR, KKR, RCB and Gujarat Titans.
30:10Sorry, Anisbhai.
30:11I think you broke off in between.
30:13Can you repeat?
30:14Okay, I'll repeat.
30:15Delhi, RCB, KKR and Gujarat Titans.
30:18For sure, no Lucknow.
30:19I'm sorry to say.
30:20After today's performance.
30:24They were good.
30:28To be very honest, they deserved to win.
30:30But one thing, since the topic of…
30:33There's one player in their team.
30:34What is his name?
30:35Krunal Pandya who dropped a sitter.
30:36I feel he's a very overrated player.
30:38Correct.
30:39Even I feel so.
30:40I don't know if there is a liking towards him for the management.
30:44Anyway, that's besides the point.
30:47Okay, Anisbhai.
30:48Before we wrap up the show.
30:50Talk to us about the competition that's going on, Anisbhai.
30:54Oh, yes.
30:55The competition is very simple.
30:57Predict the winner every day before every match.
30:59In fact, you have the chance till the first inning gets over.
31:02And let us know who's going to be the winner.
31:04And you walk away with a beautiful kit.
31:05Which I'm sure next time, when the guys are there, they'll wear that kit and be on the show.
31:09There's a track, t-shirt and a cap.
31:11And every day you get to win this, thanks to Gulp News.
31:13Everybody, we love.
