Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)
So now that the regular season is over, the following are the batting leaders by average (qual: 330 runs, avg./SR): Dhoni 89/157, Rahul 55/158, Karthik 55/149, Pant 53/174, Kohli 48/139, Rayudu 45/153, Dhawan 44/139. Kohli and Dhawan were relatively slow. Pant was exceptionally fast.
Incidentally, these seven would have been the top seven if I took a qualifying of 330 runs and sorted everyone by SR. Obviously, the order would be different.

And the bowling records. Qual: 12 wickets, by average Avg/SR: Umesh 20.9/7.86, HH Pandya 21.16/8.92, Bumrah 21.88/6.88, Mishra 22/7.13, KH Pandya 23.66/7.07, Markande 24.53/8.36.
Among the Indian bowlers, the wicket takers (at low cost) have been three pacers. Among them Bumrah has been very economical, Umesh mediocre and Hardik very expensive. The two leggies Mishra and Markande make it. Mishra has been fabulous. He should have gotten more chances. And, KH Pandya did very well too. He should get a look into the T20I team or the A-team.
If we sort them by Economy Rate: Bumrah, KPandya, Mishra, Chahal, Umesh, S. Kaul.
Interesting to see Chahal and Kaul come in place of Hardik and Markande, who were expensive. Kaul took his wickets at 25.88 and Chahal at a poor-ish 30.25.
It has been an IPL for the medium pacers and leggies.

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)
Very strange match last night between Sunrisers Hyderabad and CSK. The latter had been decimated by SRH bowlers (Rashid Khan, Bhuvi and Siddharth Kaul), but then Williamson asked Brathwaite to bowl the 18th over, and du Plessis took full toll to take CSK home. Kaul or Sharma would have been much more useful at that stage -- or even Shakib, who still had a couple of overs available. There was definitely a whiff of match-fixing in that result.

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)
Rahane's slow scoring definitely did his team in today -- although the wrist-spin twins of KKR had something to do with their won too!

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)
Good to see Karthik showing that consistency he never had. I hope he gets opportunities in the England/Australia - that is where he will be best suited. If his opportunity is delayed till there is a series in SL or WI, then he will be done. Hope he gets lucky. If he is asked to bide his time, then he will fade out like Naman Ojha after 2 yrs.prasen9 wrote: ↑Sun May 20, 2018 9:40 pm So now that the regular season is over, the following are the batting leaders by average (qual: 330 runs, avg./SR): Dhoni 89/157, Rahul 55/158, Karthik 55/149, Pant 53/174, Kohli 48/139, Rayudu 45/153, Dhawan 44/139.

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)
Another interesting side note is that 5 of the 7 are wicket keepers and 4 are the first choice for their team in current IPL.

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)
Rashid Khan is a helluva cricketer. I fear for Rahane and his test side in the Bangalore test!

Bhuvi 3-1-9-0 in the IPL final, including 5 runs from an overthrow (without it, it would be 5 runs in 3 overs!!).

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)
Shane Watson has found form at last in the IPL final, and it is as good as over. Too many runs on the board with just one wicket down after 12 overs.

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)
Apart from the stupendous innings by Pant, Nitish Rana and Yuvraj Singh played two very good innings. Rana 68 @ 145 and Yuvraj 53 @ 151 SR. Dhawan got a slow 43. Has Dhawan slowed down? Uthappa played a cameo 35 @ 130 and Krunal 32 @ 213.

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)
Couple of bad pointers for us in view of world cup in yesterday's matches.
Bumrah seemed to be badly injured on his left shoulder after falling down while bowling. I hope the injury is not serious.
Also Warner started with a super innings in his first since return. In the meantime, Aussies are 2-0 up easily against Pak in Dubai. If Warner and Smith come back to their form quickly, it is going to be a formidable batting line up for them at WC- Warner,Finch,Khwaja,Smith,Handscomb,Maxwell (maybe Shaun Marsh ahead of any 1 of them) is going to be very good.

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)
Warner and Smith will be super motivated too, they'll be out to prove a point and try to create a fresh milestone for themselves. Our management otoh is functioning like a typical sarkari office

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)
Ashwin mankaded Butler. I am thrilled. I love mankading. Mankading prevents cheating by the non-striker and prevents them from starting early. If you want to get out early, then you should be mankaded. If more people did it, the cheating would stop and mankading would also stop. Why is the non-striker cheating on a run not marked one short? Or should not be runout? Go Ashwin!

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)
Completely agree. I have never understood all the outrage. If you don't want to be out, don't leave the crease early.

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)
Kudos to Ashwin for Mankading Butler. I have always liked Manakading. I don't know why it is often dubbed "unsportsmanlike". As such the bowlers start with a clear disadvantage in these shorter versions. The runners cheating them even more has to be stemmed. At least in T-20s there should be a new rule to warn the runner (by the umpire) with 3 warnings declaring him out. Additionally, any run initiated that way should not be counted (while the ball gets counted). Such changes can give some advantage back to the bowler in the versions that are too batsmen friendly.
