Indian Premier League - General Discussion

[Sherlock Holmes]

Danish Sait - The man who plays NAGS is a very very good and an underrated comedian.

This year he is taking normal interviews as well playing (I mean as Danish Sait not as Nags).

yea he has also been a host for cricbuzz

p.s: he is brother of kubra sait

He has acted in couple of regional movies. Absolutely fantastic performance as comedian in movies too. You can watch 'French Biryani' on Amazon Prime.

Just now watched a video wherein the host (former international cricketer) explained clearly why the umpire committed mistake yesterday. There is a rule that states umpire shouldn't stand on the line. He can either stand on wicket keeper side or the other side of the line. In yesterday's match, Umpire was on the other side. Hence he couldn't see the edge of the bat inside the line.

As did Bumrah a night back. If we are passing judgements based on a recently concluded game, we're no different from the media.[DOUBLEPOST=1600626888][/DOUBLEPOST]Paddikal

RCB should play this side tomorrow. It's the same track and I think not playing Steyn will be insane on this track. Open with Steyn and Umesh with Saini and Morris to follow.

Do you think AB will keep the wickets ? I wouldn't risk it so early in the tournament. We need good start and if we lose AB even for couple of games, it's slippery slope then onwards. AB keeping wickets will bring lot of balance to the team but I am not sure about that. I would love to see Paddikal in the playing XI, but then AB have to keep.

I am still not sure how to rate Dubey. He is a power hitter but not consistent at all. His bowling is below average for an All-Rounder. I would go with Sundar ahead of him and move Mann and Morris one up the order and Sundar coming afterwards. It's time Sundar proves his mantle.

Since the pitch is good for pace-bowling I would go with Umesh as well. Use Umesh in the PP and finish his quota before 12 over mark. Else Dube comes in for Umesh.

I don't know if this is true. But one of my friends in my locality was speaking about some channels in telegram app that promotes IPL match fixing. They predict the results way before the toss. According to him 2 matches were already predicted and CSK & DC were set to win. That is one of the reasons for umpire error. It was so funny that I started laughing at his face. Lol

He says SRH will win against RCB tomorrow. Highest opening partnership to be from SRH. Lol.

Even I can predict that

If RCB have to make it to the playoffs, AB has to keep. I think he was testing his back out when he did it for HEAT in Australia. There's no way he doesn't keep wickets and it would render IMMENSE balance to a hopeless side. I think we will qualify this year. Have high hopes from Saini the death bowler and at least at Dubai, Steyn will be a handful.

Moeen Ali / Chris Morris could've played instead of Josh (he showed his talent in BBL , but still) ...

 

[Yash.]

I really don’t understand the logic behin Natrajan playing over Khaleel or Kaul

 

[zwarrior]

They wanted to play Paddikal, meaning Parthiv will sit out. And someone has to keep. SO I think that's why they added Josh. But he opened in BBL, not sure how he will play out in the middle order.

Good that they didn't hand the gloves to ABD . His outfielding is insane !!!

 

[NILAYSHAH60]

Bhuvi looked right on the money for rhe first over. Good to see him back!!!

Philippe started out as a middle order batsman but performed too good to leave him out there which is why he started opening. Not ideal but it is much better than having Parthiv in the XI.

I'm getting around to the idea of having AbD keep too. Him in the field will be a big miss but he solves the team balance issue and allows for an extra overseas all-rounder.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Paddikal is hitting the ball so well right now. SRH needs to find a way to either play Kane in the XI or let him go to a team that needs a solid middle order batsman (KKR).

 

[NILAYSHAH60]

Paddikkal is a class act.

Oh dear! Is that another injury in this IPL? Marsh doesn't look good

 

[SaiSrini]

Padikkal is batting up to the expectations here!! This is a rollicking start here for RCB and the most assured that they've looked in a long time. If Padikkal bats like this and with some support from his batting partner at the top, should relieve a lot of pressure off Kohli and ABD who can then express themselves more freely.

Early days yes.... but this seems interesting! Well now they got to face up to the world's best T20 bowler, Rashid khan on wickets that are suited for his style.

 

[Bevab]

Finchy's been struggling till now. Hopefully that one gets him going.
