ABD – “The last win against Mumbai was a really important one because we’ve struggled to beat them in recent years. So, crossing that hurdle means a lot to us as a team. We are playing another big team today and it’s important we get past this hurdle.”#CSKvRCB#IPL2018

Hey Third Umpire, here’s a better cue. If Dhoni starts to walk towards umpire after a stumping then it’s OUT.
No need replay and all. Next meet pannuvom. #CSKvRCB

Bowlers have created enough chances to keep #RCB alive….some of the fielding efforts have let them down though. Southee—the only exception. #CSKvRCB #IPL
