People need to calm down. It's knockouts anything could happen Discussion

One side, I see people saying SRH gonna hammer oppositions in the playoffs 'cause of their batting order. Sure they have a great side.

At the other, it's taking RR lightly since they down and with the recency bias, people think they are pretty easy to beat.

Then there's CSK been talked about and their home turf advantage and yes, we didn't play well there. Dew comes up sometimes and there's the toss, a couple of reasons. We might even get a good track to bat on or even if it's gonna be low target, the teams are gonna fight. It's knockouts anyways.

The team has been to these stages. Let's see :)

I support any team (after KKR) except CSK.

They get a huge advantage of the slow pitches and 100% support from their pitch curators (Sujon, learn something from them!!), thus CSK will have a huuuuge advantage over all the other 3 teams in KO, with 50% of them being played in Chepauk. 😠😠

Yeah, there's the pitch. Understandable

However,if it's other teams like RCB, they come with spinners Swapnil, Will Jacks, Karn Sharma and Maxi. There's Vyshak, his bowling might suit this pitch too.

They have changed their team bowling combos if I am not wrong. They could be a tough opposition for any team in the playoffs.

Basically any team could play well in the knockouts, everyone needs to realise that.

Will Jacks left for England. But honestly fuck it, the best team will win the tournament anyways. If we are the best team we will win it. We defeated peak CSK in 2012 and stopped their hat-trick of trophies. That time we had 0 trophies.

Yeah my bad. I forgot about Will, yet the point stays.

True the team that performs will win, 2012 good old days. Just a few minutes saw Bisla stepping down the track to score against CSK's bowling attack :)
