00:00Vivo smartphone every day and a lucky few are going to get a chance to see the big final and
00:05speaking of sending in cheers, it could be a day where you're doing a lot of cheering because the
00:10universe boss, the gale storm has descended at the ferocious. The lion is roaring, the Vivo IPL
00:17has been saved because Viro ensured that the big man is in the auction and despite everything,
00:23despite saying that you know we might have only just got him for marketing purposes,
00:26he's our virile dumbed-art player to watch out for because despite everything
00:33Welcome back to Ken's Cricket Live, we are excited to be at the Coat Live for the first time in
00:37the Vivo IPL,
00:38excited to have Sangha here, let's have a look at our Geo 4G pitch report just to find these conditions.
00:44Maybe they're new, maybe they're new. Very smart, selective.
00:47Yeah, but I think with Amit Meshra, I just love him as a bowler, he's a classical leg spinner,
00:52none of these you know quick fire retain things. He's got that, yes, but lovely flight, good turn,
00:58good variation and he's around in the auction. He went unsold despite his reputation, despite everything.
01:04But let me tell you, redemption comes in many forms. You can go under the radar and prove people wrong
01:10or you can just do what Chris Gale has done and that is create a storm.
01:15Well, it's player number four, another West Indian player, this time it is Chris.
01:20You saw his training on the back of the boat there, doing his dancing.
01:23He's just a natural ball striker, he's so powerful, any miss hits will go for six.
01:28You know, he puts pressure on the ballers and they get a bit nervous as well and you know,
01:32that's what it's about, when you put some pressure on the ballers, you might get that
01:34loose ball and then bang, he's away and off he goes.
01:36You know, it's really funny when you're trying to calculate what percentages you need to ensure that
01:41you get a victory. With the last two seasons of the VVIPL, you know, Chris Gale wasn't really there.
01:46Now, when Ravi Chandranashvind and Viru sat down, we guess it went something like this.
01:57Yeah, I agree 100% with Pop. You know, I think Gambia would like to see what he's chasing,
02:06be in control of that part. Kings 11, Panja, the way they're playing, they really wouldn't care.
02:10Yeah, yeah. And that's the interesting thing that you've mentioned because Ravi Chandranashvind has
02:14just kind of put his team in either or situations saying, let's just see what we're capable of.
02:19So that break games open and this guy's done that many times before.
02:22I tell you, the one who has a big heart, the Asian paint's most dependable bull,
02:25and that's Trent Bolt right now for Team DD. He is just about throwing everything.
02:30These other teams, just with tactics, we'll just set up a plan that we can beat them tactically
02:34before a ball's even bowled. I think Ashwin's been brilliant in this competition so far.
02:38I know there's a long way to go, but I think as a captain, he's really surprised me.
02:42Speaking of a captain that's under pressure and that is Gautam Gambhir right now.
02:46Maybe he needs a homecoming to get back to scoring ways because the openers have not worked for him.
02:51He can't find the right combination with the bowlers. If he can get the toss right,
02:55that too at home at the Kotla could go well. Let's find out what happens.
03:03This is bowling there. Where he's improved is his death bowling.
03:06Yeah.
03:06So now he's always had that fast Yorker to a right hander. It's quite straight,
03:10so it's hard to free your arms, but he's also got some variation now. He's got some change-ups.
03:15I think he's one of the bowlers over the past probably two or three years.
03:18He's set the standard now, and that's been one thing that worked really well for Gautam Gambhir,
03:23who returns to the Kotla after seven years. Jatin caught up with the man to see what a homecoming
03:28it would be for Gigi.
03:34Just imagine what today means for Gautam Gambhir. But I tell you what, Sangha, you joined us at a
03:39beautiful time. The way we opened the show today on Kent Cricket Live has got all of you on social
03:45media saying, whoa, that is quite something. We had a debutante in the house. Take a look at this.
03:51Australian top order doing the pre-match show, Lange, Waugh and Clark. How about that?
03:57Lange is in the house, is he? I'm the Lange. Hello? I know I look a little different.
04:04That's really good, actually. May not actually look bad as well.
04:07Top of the order. Top of the order. You know what, I think I'll just leave it to you guys.
04:13I'll stay on this chair. I'm just fine here. All right, big game coming up here at the Kotla.
04:17The first time we're going to be there. Should we get our Make My Trip predictions out from Sangha?
04:21What do you think? What's going to happen? Do you?
