Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)

Abhisekh Sharma another " 3rd class" is also shining. Jaiswal is best no doubt but for team combination and bowling options, this sort of talents are required. The Allrounder Pandya will continue leaking runs @11/12 an over in each match, whereas Umran will be criticized, Dube will be rep...

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)

Dube is clearly doing everything to make it difficult for selectors

Three of Rinku/Dube/Jaiswal/ Gill will not be in the playing 11 as it stands today.

And very likely only two of the four may make it to WC team especially if India decided to take two keepers

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)

"Useless" allrounder Dube shines with a magestic 50 But he was not even bowling, so how can u call him an all rounder? They replaced him with impact player. Is he doing enough to make the team as top order batsman over Sky , (assuming kohli will not get dropped) Or is he better all rounde...

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)

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...

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)

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. ...

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)

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...

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)

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

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)

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...

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)

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...

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)

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...

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)

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...

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)

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 ...

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)

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...

Re: T20 World Cup, Canada, USA 2024

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.
