KL Rahul is having the best time of his life
KL Rahul is going through a very good phase. Now captain of @lionsdenkxip. I hope it lifts his game and makes him a better cricketer.

Incredible!
It does not surprise me that 48 years old Pravin Tambe has been picked by KKR. Last year he took 4 wickets off 5 balls in a T10 match. The batsmen he dismissed were Chris Gayle, Eoin Morgan, Kieron Pollard and Fabian Allen.

A real boost for the Australian economy
More forex outflow to Australia. @patcummins30 having a colossal pay day. Into Rohit/Dhoni territory now. Over 2 million to @KKRiders.
