Interesting that Dhoni is getting loads of stick for his captaincy of Pune but not a whisper of Kohli's captaincy of Bangalore.

Read some people on Twitter saying Williamson should be dropped for Morgan.

Morgan has been so poor. Williamson has been taking on the role of someone who solidifies the innings after the fall of Dhawan and Warner. Showing he's not a one gear wonder.

Punjab ever so reliant on Vijay. A good innings from him usually means a win.

The dropping of Miller as captain has been huge for them too.

First time in eight years without Suresh Raina and his IPL team lose by the biggest ever margin in IPL history.

Gujarat don't even match Kohli's individual effort.

In my opinion AB de Villiers is the most versatile batsman in the world. Awesome in all forms and all situations.

Think Pune got their team all wrong. I would have gone: Aparajith, Ashwin, Pathan, Bains, Khawaja, Bailey, Tiwary, Dhoni, Albie Morkel, Bhatia and Zampa.

The bowling line of Pathan, Aparajith, Morkel, Zampa, Bhatia and Ashwin would have been much more effective.

48 from 42 balls really was painfully slow from Guptil today

Think it's now likely Bangalore and Mumbai to qualify and join Hyderabad and Kolkata. Gujarat and Delhi will,be hit by their run rate.

Delhi's insistence on picking Duminy bamboozles me.

I guess this is what the Don Bradman era was like.

Kohli is miles better than any other T20 player.
