Indian Premier League - General Discussion

[Sherlock Holmes]

Doesn't really change things when CSK aren't going to qualify for the playoffs anyways.

No last dance for MSD?

I wish MSD fully embraces his inner Dom Toretto and goes all family on us.

I've seen some stuff suggesting the IPL coverage will be on DAZN and 16 matches on ITV (free to air) in the UK.

Having a foreign T20 league’s games be free to watch while your own international games are behind a paywall sounds really silly.

My hunch is DAZN are using ITV as away to tempt people to subscribe. ITV was the home on the IPL in the early days. It was the only free to air cricket in the UK for about 15 years.

Sisanda Magala replaces Kyle Jamieson for CSK

Chennai Super Kings sign Magala as injured Jamieson's replacement

The South Africa fast bowler was the joint-fifth highest wicket-taker in the inaugural SA20

I know social media has been abuzz in these past weeks about Gerald Coetzee joining CSK, but according to me, this is a very smart move to go with Magala. Magala is a death bowler, Magala has a batting reputation in the lower order, Magala had a very good SAT20 for the title winners Sunrisers Cape Town. Only issue is his fitness (his age perfectly aligns with the CSK ethos ) but it has been there for many years now and hearing that his fitness is on the incline. Having good death bowling options is crucially imp as CSK fluffed it up in the auctions big time.

The hope is for him to fill the Bravo hole. Hope he does not end up like a Jordan or the Ngidi of 2019 and beyond (Ngidi won us the title in 2018).

Mitch Marsh trying to give an audition for late injury replacement. Normally he is the one getting injured.

He already has an IPL contract though?

No idea.

Yeah isn’t he a part of DC?

Wonder who is going to lead KKR here?

I tried to check the squad, but Google gave me an answer straightaway.

Actually wouldn't rule him out. He is a sure shot starter. Also, with Chandrakant Pandit +Abhishek Nayar as the coaches, there might just be a tendency to lean towards an Indian skipper.

I’m leaning towards dre Russ most likely. Think Shardul is a bit too fancy. If they were guaranteed first team players either one of Shakib or Litton would have been good calls too.
