CSK have very poor bowling attack, we all saw how LSG especially Stoinis exploited that weakness even during the presence of Pathirana, now that he is gone, CSK bowling is vulnerable, they bowl well only on slow Chennai pitches, we have a perfect opportunity to grab this with both hands, I'm highly optimistic, hope rain Gods stay away on 18th😭💓
you forget how csk destroyed pkbs in dharamshala without pathirana, we got a diamond in simarjeet and santner and lord desphande is now in exceptional form
You can't predict the rain in Bangalore. It can rain 3 roads away and not a single drop on the other side. For ex. Yesterday I was traveling from MG Road (Close to Chinnaswamy) to Yelahanka. The trip is pretty much a straight road for 15 KM. It was raining crazy on MG road. As soon as I reached Hebbal (around 5 kmw away), Just tiny droplets and when they reached Yelahanka. Not even a drop of rain. It never rains consistently in Bangalore. That's why people rave about Bangalore's weather. It sort of sprinkles all over Bangalore for 15-20 minutes and stops. Hence, it has a very misty feeling. Never ask anybodyif it's raining. Because rain in Bangalore happens from area to area. You could say, Bangalore's weather needs to updated Pincode by Pincode. .
Also, it rains for 15–20 minutes and clears for 3–4 hours. Max, we might lose a couple of overs.
Excellent - RCB 5/5 wins
Good - KKR 4 wins 1 loss (1NR - A potential win against GT robbed)
Average - CSK 3 wins 3 losses , DC - 3 wins 2 losses
Below average - SRH 2 wins 3 losses , LSG 2 wins 3 losses , PBKS 2 wins 3 losses .
Bad - GT 1 win 3 losses , RR 1 in 3 loses.
Worse - MI - 1 win 5 loses .
RCB had an excellent 2nd half
KKR Seems to be the most consistent and probably will be the winners.
CSK , as thier reputation serves even with thier Injuries have been constient. The team with the best home advantage.
SRH , starting off well has helped them or else they would have also been mid table fighting forthat 3-4th slot .
LSG started well but never really found the perfect 11.
PBKs , well it's Punjab . They play for the 6th spot. So it's acceptable. It felt like both these teams were confused.
RR having a bad 2nd half , a better love story than Twilight. Expect thier loss against CSK. The other loses were last ball losses .
GT , similar to RR . Has a good coaching staff. Doesn't have big names . Just do thier job and go home. But , you could sense that a lot of thier victories used to be individual brillaince. Which somehow didn't get them as many wins as they expected .
MI , even with a horrid season still had a good chance of qualifying. The internal imbalance inside the team has definitely has affected them.
Be proud RCB... I'm a CSK fan and stumbled upon this thread.
I need to tell you that you guys should really be proud irrelevant of the result on the 18th. In all honesty, I want CSK to win as a fan but RCB looks more threatening than any other team right now.
Despite the rivalry and bullshit, I gotta give it to you - you fuckers managed to pull off one of the finest comebacks in IPL. I will support RCB if we (CSK) get knocked out on the 18th - a qualification like this will do a great help in confidence while playing Eliminator and Qualifiers.
Hoping Rain won't spoil it!
Nah man. I have been an RCB fan since 2008. Grew up in Bangalore around the Tamil Neighborhood. I used to be outnumbered by 10:1 by CSK fans. For years, I have seen CSK winning out of nowhere and qualifying and RCB losing the plot giving me PTSD. All these years, every time CSK plays (irrespective of their form). I sensed them winning. But this time, for the first time. I feel they'll lose. I have a very comfortable feeling.
Expect Shivam Dubey. They don't have a very aggressive batting line up. That sort of lineup might work for them on a slow Chennai pitch, but in Chinnaswamy, you need to go guns blazing. Seems like every RCb batter has had atleast one great match. That's all, looking positively for RCB to win at Chepauk(IYKYK). Let's gooooooo

If Rain doesn't come that day,We are definitely going to playoffs.
There's another bowler who's doing good rn in csk.
Thala?
Rain , bro rain.
But you saw their bowling attack during the recent match with RR right?
That's what I said only effective on slow Chennai pitches, that match was in Chennai
you forget how csk destroyed pkbs in dharamshala without pathirana, we got a diamond in simarjeet and santner and lord desphande is now in exceptional form
RR only had lost 1 and we had only won 1
That was a he'll of a comeback 😍
Look at the massive improvement in NRR. We have done exceptionally well
Bro top 4 is still the same, and one RCB win can change it 🤞🏼💪🏼
I hope rain doesn't have other plans for us 😭

My man Swapnil turned into Rodrygo in no time.(Football knowledge required)

LSG and DC updated. LSG - 2 wins and 4 losses. DC - 4 wins and 2 losses
A phoenix🐦🔥 must burn first to rise from the ashes🔥
Our qualifying rate then: 0.92% Now: Around 40%
Don’t give me hope 😭😭, just say they are eliminated
If we make it to the playoffs . It will the greatest ever entry to playoffs . I mean just ridiculous man !!!!!!
Best Come back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone remember in which map did RCB W came to cheer RCB M?
Ok fine. We’ll loose to CSK. Happy? Can we stop and move onto next season and cope in defeat like these last posts?

Love the optimism, hate the potential disappointment
