@ErikaMorris79 Yayy !!! Congratulations to all of us RCB fans.

Congrats to you too Erika, for having traveled all the way to watch the final, RCB win, VK player of the match. Hope you had great fun.

@DrKidou96 @prasannalara No, the match when collapse happened Venky was the 9th batter. The score was so low that they were okay to play with just 4 bowlers + Shepherd and make a match out of 16 overs of frontline bowlers.

When batting 1st, having both Sheph and Duffy in impact list is smarter option.

@georgejohnt @prasannalara Easiest time to bowl after 3 early wickets. If the game situation was different, he would have gone the distance if he bowled, and with Suyash being in awful form, RCB would have been in real danger of losing the match.

RCB isn't being smart with the Impact player selection.

@ErikaMorris79 Very small sample size.

RCB bowling looking quite iffy with out of form Hazlewood, Suyash, Shepherd and not so proven Rasik.

[PhilCric @philcric3]

@ErikaMorris79 With Hazelwood not at his best and Suyash struggling, having an extra proper bowler as an impact option would have been more valuable.

@ErikaMorris79 Couldn't we have gone with
V Kohli
J Bethell *
D Padikkal
V Iyer
T David *
+ J Sharma
K Pandya
B Kumar
R Salem
J Hazelwood *
S Sharma

Should wkts fall and #8 batter is required, can go with Shepherd as Impact player. If wkts don't fall like today, Duffy can be Impact player.
