Indian Premier League - General Discussion

Yeah totally deserves it. It's not anybody's fault that the companies that won team spots choose different places for franchise.
I just hope everything gets done in the correct manner and there are no loopholes made for someone.
So Ambani chose Maharashtra over Gujarat? Interesting
 
Hardus Viljoen is a net bowler for CSK

Did Hardus go unsold in the auction? If yes, he could be a nice replacement if an overseas guy from CSK gets injured or needs to pull out.. He likely got in due to the Faf quota (he is Faf's brother in law) :D The guy has a pretty good record in T20's though his economy is a little over 8. More of a Shardul type bowler. Will help if CSK lose someone while playing at Wankhede
 
So Shreyas Iyer is likely to miss the first half of the IPL. Rumor's are abuzz that Pant will lead DC which will be a shocking decision. I feel Ashwin or Shikhar should lead. Please do not hand over the captaincy to Smith. Ashwin was leading Punjab two seasons ago, so he should be the first choice. What are your thoughts guys?

Ashwin should get that TBH . He is tactical . That is what captaincy needs ....
 
No one want Rahane?
I wanted to incline towards him but he is not guaranteed a spot in the XI once Iyer returns. DC would field

  1. Prithvi Shaw
  2. Shikhar Dhawan
  3. Steven Smith
  4. Shimron Hetmyer
  5. Rishabh Pant
  6. Marcus Stoinis
  7. Axar Patel
  8. Ravi Ashwin
  9. Kasigo Rabada
  10. Ishant Sharma
  11. Mohit Sharma


Once Iyer is fit, Ishant Sharma drops out and Iyer comes in. If DC need faster bowler, Nortje comes in for Hetmyer/Stoinis. Again it would make no sense but this is the fact. I do not see a place for Rahane in the XI unless Shaw or Dhawan get injured.

I could see Smith competing directly with Hetmyer. I'd take one of them and Nortje over Mohit Sharma.

It will be Sharma vs Umesh Yadav. We might even see Woakes challenging Stoinis. Avesh Khan is another one to watch out. Has been lul in recent years but can get really good.
