Indian Premier League - General Discussion

No! That's the fallacy in the system. This is exactly how RCB retained Gayle and he ended up smashing that 175. Plenty of examples.

The team can release others, not necessarily the original injured.

Ohh I see

Match called off considering the rising tensions on the border. Counting the remaining matches- seems we have 7 matches in cities that are in the Northern part of the country and could be prone to attacks (Ahmedabad, yes- cause that will be a favorite target). I will add in the match at the Wankhede as well, just for safety.

1. Lucknow v RCB at Lucknow
2. Punjab v Mumbai at Ahmedabad
3. Delhi v Gujarat at Delhi
4. Gujarat v Lucknow at Ahmedabad
5. Mumbai v Delhi at Wankhede
6. Rajasthan v Punjab at Jaipur
7. Gujarat v Chennai at Ahmedabad
8. Lucknow v Hyderabad at Lucknow

What can the BCCI do here? Shift the games to South Indian cities, where the security might be more. Pune, Vizag, Goa, Nagpur could be better options here. Logistically, it wont be a nightmare as these cities are well connected and it should be easy for the BCCI to make teams travel around. The game at Wankhede could be shifted to the DY Patil stadium in Navi Mumbai as well.

For the rest, I think it is quite okay considering that the Playoffs are in Hyderabad and Calcutta.

Play it in the UAE

 

[BasketballHooper]

PSL is going to take place in the UAE

 

[icyman]

Play it in the UAE

Nah! Don't think that will happen, especially now with the PCB shifting it here. The best plan forth is to have the games in South India.

The best would be to pause the league to the indefinite time and conduct it at a later stage.

 

[icyman]

They are too proud to suspend the league, I feel!

Cause there were no reasons to keep that continued.
IPL is a league and if the attention of the whole nation or even the world is towards something more serious then it is best to hold it for sometime.
Even the broadcasters or the security involved might not be provided enough attention at the moment.
BCCI or IPL committee doesn't want to look like this smiling girl.

 

[icyman]

I admit, I wasn't expecting them to pause the league. The signs are ominous- hopefully, the scenario does not escalate into a full blown war!

 

[icyman]

If the league stand indefinitely post-poned, does GT win it this year, by virtue of finishing on top? Alternatively, they might just have a quick Final 4 shoot-out to decide the winner at a latter stage.

 

[icyman]

News coming in: suspension only for a week. The BCCI will come up with a new schedule and venues for the remainder of the IPL.

 

[pillowprocter]

[cricfan123]

[icyman]
