MS Dhoni and Bhuvneshwar Kumar faced each other twice in the IPL and both times, MS Dhoni smashed him for 19 runs in an over. Though he does not finish his games as well as he used to, Dhoni still remains one of the few batsmen who has been able to dominate the Indian pace bowler.

Ricky Ponting has picked Kolkata wicketkeeper Robin Uthappa over MS Dhoni in his team of the year, citing the former’s ability to score from the get-go as the reason for his choice. The former Aussie captain, unsurprisingly, opted to go for two Indian pacers in his best XI for this season’s IPL.

KKR pacer Nathan Coulter-Nile has called for a relook at the scheduling of the IPL games after Kolkata’s eliminator encounter against Hyderabad ended at 1.30 am last night. After an extended rain delay, Kolkata were set a revised target of 48 from 6 overs and KKR won with 7 wickets to spare.

Gautam Gambhir has said it was Kolkata Knight Riders' bowling that set up their seven-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the rain-hit Eliminator in Bengaluru last night. The KKR skipper was, however, critical of their batting, saying it should have been "more sensible" in the chase.

KKR had a scare as the match was nearly washed out after Kolkata had bundled SRH out for a paltry 128. Requiring 48 in 6 overs, KKR couldn't have had a worse start as they lost 3 wickets for 12 runs but captain Gautam Gambhir played a composed knock to lead them to victory.
