Indian Premier League - General Discussion

[NILAYSHAH60]

Have absolutely no idea about the last 4 games since I haven't followed those. It's been a while since I have missed some Cricket. But the situation doesn't really excite me enough to watch. Not really been that great a decision on my part to not follow the games but I just don't get enough enjoyment in watching them since the past few days or you would say the entire season thus far.

Can't understand why Dube is batting ahead of Miller, Tewatia and Morris

 

[Ashutosh.]

Dube is scoring run-a-ball 20-30 runs in every match and Miller, Tewatia, and Morris who are many times better than him are not getting enough balls.

Looks like it'll be a very one-sided IPL this year.

Looks like it'll be a very one-sided IPL this year.

I guess its because bookies are not allowed in hotels due social distancing and Covid norms

It seems so every year and then things change. Currently, SRH, KKR and PBKS are desperate to win the wooden spoon. RR have had a lot of setbacks so you sort of get it.

It is beyond me how Morgan walks into any IPL team, let alone CAPTAIN one. Unbelievable!

You think the bookies want a one-sided IPL and risk the loss of interest amongst an audience, that is already slightly disinterested due to COVID issues happening out there?

There's not been too many surprises so far in this IPL. I do think the BCCI will want things to change in the 2nd half of the tournament where the interest among other teams increase

Seriously going through a distressing phase after seeing the country wise situation due to covid.

Don't even feel like watching the matches or even seeing the scores.

Same. RCB is playing so well, but just not able to get into it

And the Delhi leg has to be the worst one considering how bad things are there. There will be critical services (ambulance, police, covid testers) reserved for the bio bubble inhabitants while people struggle a few kms from there to get basic care

RCB is playing well?

Harpreet Brar first 3 wickets in IPL: Kohli, Maxwell & ABD

 

[Ashutosh.]

Virat and Patidar should be blamed for this loss.

Kohli has hijacked Indian cricket for the best part of half a decade. I just don't understand this batting line up no matter who says what to me.

I think we have the bowlers in the domestic set up but the batting is very heavily dependent on two chaps to inject impetus.

Since 2020, batting is heavily dependent on only ABD. Virat and Paddikal perform well only in 2-3 matches and play one day inning in the rest matches.

RCB's big trio vs left arm spinners... Have the analysts taken out their notebooks?
