00:00Going is not good, mate. You'll look a bit sad once again.

00:14Hello, hello, guys. And welcome once again to Straight Back with Mr Cricket, UAE and Golf News.

00:19We've got a full squad for you today. We've got myself and Anis, his son in Gotham.

00:26I'll hand over to Anis and he'll say his quick hello. How are things tonight, Anis?

00:31All good, Matt. Thank you very much. Hello to the panel. And before we start the show,

00:36we request all our fans of Golf News to log on to our Facebook page.

00:41Make sure to predict the winner before every match starts.

00:44And you walk over with this beautiful jacket and three months of subscription.

00:49And we've got a special guest here this evening as well.

00:52Oh, yes, we have Preet here, who's one of the winners of our contest. Welcome, Preet.

00:59Thank you so much. Thank you so much for hosting me.

01:04And Sahil and Gautam, you're also here too. Hi.

01:08Hi, how's it going?

01:12Going is not good, mate. You'll look a bit sad once again.

01:16All righty, I'll give a quick recap and Rajan can have his digs.

01:25So DC posted another fairly low score in IPL terms and they were not able to hold on

01:33as Rajasthan put on a bit of a late show with Chris Morris showing his worth

01:38and getting them across the line with two balls to spare for a three wicket victory.

01:44So Anas, we'll come straight over to you. Chris Morris, he's shining already.

01:51Yes, I remember in the break I said that 147 is a bit of a low target,

01:56especially keeping in mind the Mumbai wicket.

01:58But I had also mentioned that this is not one of those regular Mumbai wickets

02:02where you can just swing with the arc.

02:03There was help for the fast bowlers and Delhi fought back well.

02:07But credit to Morris, especially when he was denied that single by Samsung.

02:12Everybody said that Samsung probably made a mistake.

02:15But in the post-match analysis, he mentioned that Sanju was in the arc

02:19and he did the right thing. I would have anyway gone for the second run.

02:22But credit to Rajasthan Royals. I'm happy for two people.

02:25One is Jaideh Unadkar, who was trolled a lot that he was not getting the wickets for them.

02:29He caught the wickets and Morris, the most expensive buy,

02:32made sure that he won them the match.

02:35Cool. And now we have Preet, who's a DC fan.

02:39And Sahil, who was rooting for them tonight.

02:42First of all, Preet, how does it feel? Is it a sore run to take?

02:46Yeah, actually, I feel great because if Delhi wouldn't have fought,

02:50I would say it was a big loss for Delhi.

02:53But they fought back and they did really well.

02:56And Rajasthan won in the last over.

02:58So for me, Delhi is a fighter. So I'm not feeling that much bad.

03:02But yeah, a bit disappointed.

03:06And Sahil, how is it with you?

03:09I mean, I was just rooting for Delhi tonight.

03:12But, you know, I have to just credit Chris Morris.

03:14You know, he's justifying his price tag.

03:17You know, everyone was asking why was he paid?

03:19Why was he bought at such a high price?

03:20But he's justified it.

03:21And not just because he scored such heavy runs today.

03:24I always liked him as a player. He's an all-rounder.

03:26And he's a fighter.

03:28And he showed that.

03:29So I'm excited for him for making his team win.

03:32OK. And just a quick side check to Gautam.

03:34Are you there? Are you...

03:36Well, what's your take having just joined us after the match there?

03:47OK, I'll come back to...

03:49Yeah, it was an enjoyable game of cricket, I would say.

03:53And sometimes these modest scoring games,

03:55they have got more to offer than just, you know, 200-220.

04:00You know, Simas of both sides, they had a fair bit in that.

04:07So I quite liked it.

04:10It was also a bonus to see...

04:16He had been in good form in the last series against Pakistan

04:20before he came and joined the squad.

04:23So, yes, it was an enjoyable match.

04:25Rajasthan has got their first points on the table.

04:29So it sets up...

04:30Gradually, it sets up the IP nicely.

04:34Yes, I mean, we see there was a good...

04:39Another good half-century knock from Pant as well.

04:42Maybe let down by his fellow batsmen for Delhi.

04:49Again, we're seeing a lot of these low scores.

04:51Yes, I think...

04:54If teams are getting over the line in the chase or not,

04:56it's coming right down to this last over.

05:00Yeah, just a quick question to Pravinder.

05:02I mean, it was a different Pant, isn't it?

05:04I mean, he got that 57.

05:07There was not a single six in that.

05:11Nine boundaries.

05:13Yeah, see, as you play as a captain,

05:17so you have more responsibilities.

05:18And on the other hand, if you keep losing wicket,

05:21so you have to play sensible.

05:22That's why he wasn't taking chances and playing down the ground.

05:26So for me, it was...

05:27Exactly.

05:28For me, it was very nice to see that he can play down the ground,

05:31not trying to hit a big sixes and all.

05:34And that's helped him a lot.

05:35That's why, over the period of time,

05:37he keeps trying his best to play grounded shots.

05:42A bit more of a responsible head rather than just swinging.

05:46Yeah.

05:48And Anas, back to you then.

05:50As I just said there, there's been a lot of low scores so far.

05:54And then the chases have been...

05:57You know, they've been getting right down to the last over.

06:01Do you see that that's a pattern that's going to continue

06:03and we'll keep getting these nail-biters?

06:06Not really, Matt.

06:07You know, today's match, if you see,

06:09147 was not a difficult target.

06:12It's just about the game of Anas.

06:13Like Gautam mentioned, there was a bit in the wicket.

06:16And the batsmen had to assist it.

06:17Had they seen the new ball off, the chase would have been easier.

06:20If you saw in the latest half, David Miller, how he could play.

06:24So is Morris.

06:25And even Jaidu could bat.

06:28Batting gets a little more easier later on.

06:30In Mumbai, okay, Chennai is a different place.

06:32You've got to assess the game of Anas is important.

06:35Especially when you saw the wicket of Tevetya.

06:38He was almost set.

06:39And he knew it was Rabada's last ball.

06:41There was a chance for him to just probably play out or take a single.

06:44But I'm sure the guys will learn.

06:46There are young players, guys like Parag.

06:49And the other players who went a little hard against the Mumbai bowlers will learn.

06:53And Sangakkara is a very shrewd coach.

06:55He will definitely bring this to the notice of the players.

07:00And Preet, back to you there.

07:04Obviously, with the absence of Stoke,

07:06Miller really did step up today alongside the bowlers.

07:10When you're missing an all-rounder,

07:12you're kind of damaged on both sides of the wicket.

07:15Do you think that this confidence boost for Rajasthan

07:18will really see them kind of step on now in the tournament?

07:22Yeah, yeah, for sure.

07:23Because as you see the last game,

07:25Sanju Sensen, he played tremendously well.

07:28He was standing at the last of the game.

07:31Nobody supported him on the other hand.

07:34But if you see today's game,

07:35he got out earlier.

07:36And other of his teammates like Miller and Morris,

07:41they played tremendously well.

07:43And they win the game at the end.

07:46So for sure, in the future coming game,

07:48it will boost the morale of the team.

07:52And for sure, they will come back very hard.

07:54And it will be not easy for the other team, for sure.

08:05Can you repeat the question, Matt?

08:06Okay, sorry.

08:08Yeah, no, sorry.

08:09I thought Preet could finish that.

08:12I'm just going to go to Saheel first, actually.

08:16Do you think now that we're starting to see teams

08:18win and lose it too,

08:20with the exception of Kohli and Mumbai,

08:24do you think that we're going to see

08:27a lot more teams come in

08:28and they start becoming a lot more of a tight table

08:31as the competition goes on?

08:33Or will somebody like Mumbai run away with it?

08:36No, no, no.

08:37I mean, every IPL, it's not only like one-on-one.

08:39Yes, Mumbai Indians are always winning,

08:40but it's not going to be a tight tournament.

08:43This is the IPL.

08:44There's no guaranteed winner.

08:45You can see every game.

08:46The Kolkata lost to Mumbai somehow.

08:49Sunrise has lost to ICB somehow.

08:51And from nowhere, Morris took the game.

08:53It's a tight, this is a very tight tournament.

08:54There's no guaranteed winner at all.

09:01Okay, and we'll just quickly look ahead.

09:03We've got the Battle of the Kings tomorrow.

09:06Chennai against Punjab.

09:08To both Anis and then Gautam,

09:10how do we see this going?

09:11Because they're two teams

09:13that have all got their bowling issues as well.

09:16This match is happening at Chennai,

09:18rather in Mumbai.

09:19So it's not going to be easy for the bowlers.

09:22Today, the bowlers had a tough...

09:23No, that's in...

09:30Isn't it?

09:31Yeah, it's in Mumbai.

09:34It's in Mumbai.

09:35It's in Mumbai.

09:36So, yeah, I mean,

09:38we'll have to see.

09:40Chennai didn't do too badly with the bat

09:42last time around.

09:44It's still very early days.

09:45I mean, and...

09:51I'd like to see them do a little more.

09:53Like today,

09:55Rajasthan Royals showed that, you know,

09:57they are kind of trying to get there

10:00in terms of their bowling combination.

10:02So I would hope the same thing...

10:05Punjab.

10:06But if you're saying that,

10:08who would be my favourite,

10:09I would say that the edge will be with

10:11Chennai tomorrow.

10:13Okay.

10:14Anish, do you agree with that?

10:17Not exactly.

10:19To be very honest,

10:20the hard hitters are with Punjab.

10:21And in a wicket,

10:22if the...

10:23You know, it's a flat wicket

10:24and not like the way it swings.

10:26Even if it swings,

10:27I would still back Punjab.

10:28They have much harder hitter players

10:30like Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Chris Gayle.

10:33And we saw last time,

10:34they put up 200.

10:36They had also Deepak Hooda.

10:38So I would back Punjab.

10:39But funny things happen.

10:40You never know.

10:41Probably this time,

10:43Gautam might trump me.

10:50Well, cool.

10:51I mean, I think...

10:51Unless anyone's got anything else to add,

10:53any interesting observations,

10:56I think we're all set.

10:57And we'll look ahead to tomorrow.

10:58I mean, that's going to be a...

11:00Like I said, the battle of the kings.

11:01First of all,

11:02obviously, thanks to all the guys,

11:03especially Preet for joining us tonight.
