Yuvraj is back in form scored 20(13). I knew there is still a lot cricket left in him.

Bit of an action replay of yesterday’s MI v DD game.. Kings looked well set for more than 200.. 115 in the first ten, 82 in 11-20.. CSK would fancy this chase… #CSKvsKXIP

Gayle went unsold in the 1st round of auctions. And people paid 11.5 cr for Unadkat. Just saying. #KXIPvCSK

CSK must be wondering why they didn’t buy Chris Gayle. He is certainly old enough for them.— Ramesh Srivats (@rameshsrivats) April 15, 2018
