I remember being excited for the IPL in its initial years, but not any more. A couple of gakes here and there and thats it. The intensity and the enthusiasm that was displayed by the players earlier on seems to be missing nowadays.

International cricket is dying man! Don't be surprised if we reach a phase in the future where international cricket becomes all about World Cups and marquee test series and the rest of the game is played within various overseas leagues that possibly culminate into a Championship league. The sport is headed the football way. And well........... the current Indian coach (Ravi Shastri) seems to have a similar suggestion for cricket moving forward.
I feel this wont happen due to the clout the BCCI holds. Yes, we have lost the West Indies and a few Associates to this T20 league phenomenon, but I don't see it happening with the likes of India, England and Australia.

The CLT20 was perhaps stopped with this very factor in mind, where the sport renains to be dictated by the ICC/Boards and not by commercial organisations.

SRH seems to have given up already. They look jaded, their team lacks big performers and out of form stars have just added to the pressures.

I wouldn't be surprised if they are the team that is looking forth to the mega auctions the most.

I refuse to believe that IPL lost intensity. Infact last 3-4 seasons have been really intense with teams upto no.8 having the chance to qualify for top 4 upto the last week of IPL.

If we go back to 2018, it went to the last match of the last day of league stage. 2016, 2017 & 2019 all those IPL finals were nail-bitters.

And what's wrong with that tweet? I don't understand this process of investigation at all.

Looking at the form of MI's middle order either of these batters needs to bat out atleast upto the 16th over mark if they are to push the score above 170 which I believe should be just a par score.
