Paddle Sweep Wrong ‘un # 5
Here is the fifth question in the ongoing series sponsored by Nokia and Kolkata Knight Riders. Do check out an awesome competition here. Its ridiculously easy to win KKR Goodies and match tickets.
Kolkata Knight Riders take on the Rajasthan Royals in a little while from now. The former has had a good start and the latter has had a terrible one.
The question I want to ask here is, what is the best alternative to do after winning the toss at the eden gardens at Kolkata. Online sports betting sites want to know as they wish to post odds.
In other words, what should dada always do if he wins the toss, given the team and the pitch conditions that he has.
Let Dada and SRK know.

if kkr won the toss they need to choose to bat because if they decided to bowl first and if the opposition team scores more runs then our team will get lot of pressure on themselves to score more runs but if we decided to bat first v can set high target to the opposition team and we can set a lot of pressure on opposition team…. it is necessary to set batting if we won the tosssssssss
Riders won the toss to select bat first
kkr won the toss to selet bat first. then kkr will create a big score.
after winning toss ganguli has choose to bowl first…
Let Criss Gayle to go bang bang @ one end & Dada hang on @ one end till spiners bowl then he can chrge like wat he did with DC Meculum/Hussey @ middle order with Mathews………Let Mathews play few overs he got ability to hit Big Oneeeeeeeeeees
kkr won the toss to selet bat first. then kkr will create a big score.
kkr won the toss desied the bowl 1st
if kkr won the toos they should bat first because of good batting line up.they should score 170 to fight back.the bowler should not feel any pressure.ishant sharma should get 1st over to bowl.sharne bond is good bowler he should get last overs to bowl.karthik should get 2nd over.ganguly should bowl 2 overs.gayle shoul bowl.spinners are very useful in 20-20 format.
Hey SRK,
I am a big fan of your’s and as well as Dada. I just feel that you people are human beings on fire and will win this IPL , just to make sure that the critics just shut their mouths. Of course winning is everything…
I know there are lot of brains working on the team. However, let me suggest you few tips which I follow while I have to boost up my team. I would rather say I dont evem boost them up but I follow this day in day out to keep up my team spirits.
1) I would appreciate every1′s effort and I will definitely mention everyone’s name.
For ex: Ajit has been bowling very well at the slog overs for the last two matches as well as Shane bond. They are bowling very good yorkers.
This definitely is something which is completely worked by Wasim Akram our bowling coach. Please do mention his name and appreciate his efforts.
2)When it comes to batting, SRK I would suggest asking either Dada or Chris Gayle staying at the crease from starting to the end of the innings.
This would definitely help us in reaching higher targets.
Not only this, help them understand that they have to stay at the crease until 20 overs and they have to start going after the bowling from 15.1 overs.
3)Team morale has to go up and it is time for Sourav dada to take the initiative and keep every one on the same page with the help of Watmore.
4)Team has to start bending their backs on the ground and do whatever it takes. It is Watmore duty to help them improve on the field.
i hope these tips make sense and help our Kolkata Knight Riders Team win this IPL.
I appreciate Wasim, Watmore and every1 else’s efforts and you and the cheer leaders efforts. I am just dying to see our team win this IPL.
Hi Dada,
Congrats for the fantastic knock and a emphatic win.Dont continue with the same guys.This is the right winning combination.
For tomorrow’s match:Dont allow any of the batsmen to play a long innings or buil;d a partenrship n change the bowlers jus lyk yesterday. Try someone else instead of Pujara if possible.
if kkr won the toss they need to choose to bat because eden garden is dada,s home ground. He will definately hit some big strokes and succeed to make pressure on other’s team.Also the pitch is dry
Congrats! it is once again a delightful win for the knight kniders.
Though i m part of Andhra Pradesh i support my role model Mr.Dada Bai.I want to see Dada to be aggressive in his play and he made it so yesterday.Keep on going in this way and please suggest Tiwari to be good at his best such that even he can contribute some good scores to the team as well……..
after winning toss ganguli has choose to bat first…
after winning toss ganguli has choose the bating first
If KKR won the toss he should choose bat first
Because there are very heavy due falls
so Bat first Target 180 above & then killed opposites
for every match till remaining in this IPL …..after winning toss select bat first every time because …..kkr do well when balling 2nd time…
IF KKR WON THE TOSS THATS MEANING KKR WON THE 50% MATCH AT THAT TIME.SO TOSS HAVE VERY IMPORTANCE FOR KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDER.
if kkr wins the toss they has to select bat first.
If KKR won the toss he should choose bat first

If KKR Won the they should bat first ,as the top player are getting runs at the rate of knots…….
KKR have to win toss and bat first and 230runs give the targets for opponent..
kkr select to bat first
kkr s importent match
to win improve semi-final chance
dada you comes opening
with gayle
kkr should always open in their home ground as they are very much aware of the pitch conditions and batting and bowling wise change of pitch after an inning..
but according to me kkr has got a gud batting line up..
they should open and put a good score on the board for other team to chase. if the score is good other team will come into pressure and loose wickets easily by trying to hit runs .
so kkr should always bat if they win the toss
they have to field first due to their performance
he must be a skipper
Well Done DADA n Team,CONGRATULATIONS winning the match against DELHI … No Doubt Dada was the match winner…Love D Way U Play DADA,KEEP GOING n WIN ALL THE REST OF THE MATCHES … GOD BLESS U n I wl pray to God that KKR win this IPL …Ami Kolkata,We Rule …
I feel Dada should look to bat first, pile up runs and then put pressure on the other side while bowling.
Sir Ganguly and Dinda rocked the stadium…..Nation is enjoying it. Both thumbs up for the team. …..Whole heartily its the team work . Congratulations to you all KKR and KKR supporters…
All we need to score as much runs as much we can, to make opponent difficult to chase…and finally Win Win Win…..
The KKR needs to fire from the word GO especially in the powerplay.It was beautifully demonstrated by dada n gayle’s performance today.We need everyone to be big hitters in KKR.Even the bowlers who can hit hard like agarkar should be sent higher up the order.
when kkr won the toss ganguly must need to choose batting because if we are playing first they can play without pressure and can score a decent score which is capable to put the opposition under pressure so dada always need to choose batting
bat first & score above 170. i reckon that can more or les guarantee the victory
KKR won the toss to selet bat first. Then KKR will create a big score.
congrats! it is once again a delightful win for the knight kniders.

KKR WIN THE TOSS AGAINST THE RAJASTHAN ROYALS IN THE NEXT MATCH.
WIN TOSS TO BAT FIRST. IT ALWAYS WORKS!
select to bat first.
kkr should bat first so that they can put a good total on the board so that the opponents would feel the grispy pressure of run chase and so they can or the bowlers can ball with the good length which is pitty most important in the 20-20 format of the game and i think kkr will always do well in bowling the opponents as they have strong bowling attack which can merge the pace of the bowl and overall if wasim bhai is there then nothing to get worried about the length of which kkr is bowling to the opponents.good luck dada.
riders bat first 100% won the match
KKR has to choose bat, coz based on past history eden-garden pitch doesn’t support to bat for second inning,so its difficult to chase high score in second inning.
bat power fully and aim for sixer
kkr need a good start of the inning so that they put a good total on the board like 180 or above, so that the opponents would feel the grispy pressure of run chase
if kkr win the toss chose bowl first b’caz it is a litl weak point of kkr
and they may make runs easy by chaseing
Though the Knight Riders are going quite well batting first in Eden gardens, i still think i should be the bowlers who should be given a pressure free situation to bowl first, and try different things to restrict them. This because the bowling side is the weakest link in KKR, so they are not able to handle the pressure as well as the batters would may be. Given a run chase, i think our batters would be far more comfortable in a pressure situation than our bowlers, as seen while defending 200. Whatever, if KKR wins, evrything is fine. Do it in anyway possible, but win, dats all we all need.
Congratulations to you all KKR and KKR supporters much more needed victory,
Ek baar phir dada ne apna dum dhikhaya ,achchi fielding like younger ghambhir ko run out kiya outstanding effort by ganguly,batting well feilding well, captaincy no dought about it is best,team efford dinda,mendis,abdulla bowl very well,good signe for kkr all player ne achcha khel khela ,sabhi feild mai bat bowl feild,
delhi match mai McCULLUM and MANDIS ne pehle match khela ganguly rite decisoin raha ki usne opning change nahi ki coz now ganguly and gyle ne achchi opning di hai so continess ,Mccullum ko no,3 or 4 pe khilaye ganguly and gyle ki running between the wicket slow hai usko thoda sudharna hoga baki sab thikh tha dinda ,mendis abdulla ne bahot achchi bowling ki umeed karte ki sabhi aage bhi achcha karenge aur kkr ko top 4 mai layenge,isi tarah bahot hardwork karna hoga, aage keliye, aage hamara RCB, RR,MI,aur chennai se khelna hai jo bahot stronge side hai aur bahot achcha khelke top mai hai so all the best kkr good going play with dadagiri CHAKDE KOLKATA
McCullum and Gayle should open and go for broke.
Ganguly should come 1st down.
just wana sy if lose toss mc cullum and gayle should open rest same if wining the toss
I THINK WE SHOULD TAKE BETTER BALLING CHANGES BECAUSE OUR OPENING BALLERS LIKE ISHANT IS BEING BEATEN BADLY.SO DADA MUST CHOOSE ABETTER ONE TO OPEN HIS BALLING ATTACK.BEST OF LUCK KKR
kkr should take batting if they win the toss..bcause batting is their strength .so if they can score total of around 180 they can defend it…
