Indian Premier League - General Discussion

This is a good score... Interesting to see how Punjab can defend this against the likes of Samson/Buttler/Stokes/Dubey/Tewatia/Morris in dewy Wankhede!!

Delhi chased 189 at the Wankhede with 8 balls to spare, and Punjab have scored 32 runs extra here. This should potentially be a defendable total but lets see how RR chase this!!

With Sanju, Buttler and Stokes, this score is almost below par.

One down, two more to go.

Rajasthan Royals just dont get it.. What is the point in having Stokes open the innings? Now you lose him and the middle order gets weaker. Just open with Butler and have Stokes play in the middle. He has struggled opening the batting since last season.

He hasn't done too bad opening but I don't think the middle order suits him either. They've got a position vacant for him in at three or even four. I'm shocked that Morgan announced he would open with Buttler this season.

Jos
Samson
Stokes
Parag/Lomror
Miller
Dube
Tewatia
Morris
Gopal (pray he gets back to form)/Markande
Sakariya
Tyagi

Lock and load this for the entire season. Maybe have Vohra open with Jos and Samson at three with Stokes at four too.

What logic is this? Whoever decides RR's batting lineup must have that illness where you can’t remember people’s faces, because he definitely mistook Stokes for Buttler.

Imagine telling Jos that you'll be batting below..

The bloke who bats at six for your national side.

A decent domestic journeyman.

Whatever the hell Samson is.

Buttler only has the best average in international T20 as an opener. Not good enough.

Opening 49 at 153
Middle Order (4-7) 23 at 133

Imagine not wanting to open with this guy smh.

Also I see that BBL's pie expert Meredith has arrived officially to the IPL.

Meredith is the Cotrell we were missing.

Maybe Punjab should play famed 'all-rounder' Dawid Malan in the next game as the sixth bowler.

I can easily see Samson and Buttler having a Rohit and Rahul like opening combination at the top. They've also got no real solid accumulator in the top order, Stokes could easily be that man if you ask him to play patiently. Make it happen RR!

If Malan is an all rounder then I'm a full stack developer(recently started server side)...

Could certainly list yourself as one on an auction and hope some franchise takes the bait.

I'm surprised that Bishnoi isn't playing today. Tyagi too, any reasons?
