Rawat in 59 T20 matches and 51 innings has SR of 120 and average of 24. Improvements can definitely happen year to year, but a long way to go. P Singh is doing nice cameos, he is still not keeping for his IPL squad. Agree , Harshit Rana was the star of the first round from up and coming youngsters c...

The wickcet-keeper who did the best is Samson. But this is one round and he has a bunch of failures in his T20I matches. Agree, but they are looking for a finisher and surprisingly Samson has not shown enough in that role. I am big fan of Samson for T20. MI seems to unearth new players every year. ...

Sundar should open for SRH. Mayank is not a T20 material. SRH should try Nitish Reddy or see how much Umran improved with his special coach. Sundar was tried in top order and failed for RCB. Cummins captaincy was ordinary. Why did he not finish Bhuvi up early By the way, Parag did well in that stri...

Round 1 is almost complete and we will see our wkb prospects have done so far

Pant 18 off 13
P singh 26 off 17
Samson 82 off 52
Jurel 20 off 12
KL rahul 58 off 44
Jitesh 9 off 9

Finisher role WKB Jurel has probably won the first round considering Ishan will be a opener

By the way, why did MI rush to make Hardik a captain? Did Rohit give his buy in? If not, It is a strange dynamics for sure. Gujarat Titans may be the worst team this year. Will be very difficult for them to replicate last two years performance. And washington sundar rightfully do not even make the S...

Ramandeep Singh is looking good so far. If he can bat at this level against likes of Cummins and bowl like he did at domestic, definitely a name to watch out for. Abhishek Porel came in and had a great game for DC. They have three wicket keepers in Pant, Porel and kushagra. They seem to have very or...

DK should feel some shame, playing the game since 2004, now becomming a big obstacle for talented young player, warming in the bench. Team will again make a big mistake if they include these last minute enteries before WC Yesterday, Dhoni swung by. He said he had heard of my amazing book cricket sk...

Please don’t keep bringing Pandya’s name. Pandya had genuine pace and had a batting avg of 22 and SR of 180 in his first IPL season. Even though he did not bowl great, he had genuine pace and his was a skill set that we lacked. Name a bowler who can bat at his pace and also bowl genuinely quick. All...

Agree with u partially. Is it question of are we wasting the rice in the pot or case of no rice in the pot? I may say that Pandya had a talent and was persisted with , while Venkatesh Iyer probably did not have the same talent. More importantly Pandya is listed right arm medium fast while venkatesh ...

Hopes and questions from this IPL Rishabh Pant showing that he has not lost any of his spark. One of the most fun Indian cricketer to watch in recent years. Hope there are no setbacks in his recovery Pandya replacement : do we have any one that can replace Hardik? Al rounder who can bowl fast ? Tush...

Very long and insightful article on CSK success https://www.thecricketmonthly.com/story/1424903/stephen-fleming---we-don-t-have-a-secret-formula--our-strength-is-delivering-on-our-philosophy Actually on paper, CSK team that won the IPL last year would have been one of the worst. But they absolutely ...

U all have lot of patience to keep arguing the same stats Unless some one has a unique perspective, we should probably put this to bed as I don’t think we are going to convince one another. Let us all agree that Deepak Chahar is the second coming of Imran Khan and Tewetia is shane Warne clone and mo...

Who are our best all round prospects after Pandya, Jadeja and Axar IPL stats ShivamDube bat 28 avg, SR 141 and ball 9.39 ERA and average 41.. around 1.5 overs when give a chance and less than 0.4 per match Venkatesh Iyer bat 28 avg sR 130 and ball 9.20 ER and avg 38 ; bowled 2.5 overs when given a c...

https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/ipl-2024-what-india-need-from-the-indian-premier-league-for-the-t20-world-cup-1424966?platform=amp Pretty much the exact same playing 11 with same question mark that I had. Except for Jaiswal for Gill. I think rohit will prefer Jaiswal and Dravid may prefer Gill Th...

Rohit, Gill, Sky, Kohli, Pandya,Jadeja, ? , kuldeep, Bumrah, Siraj, Arshdeep most likely playing 11

Unless they are brave enough to drop kohli..
