Indian Premier League - General Discussion

[icyman]

Rajasthan Royals used to be a team that used to perform with lesser known and young players especially the inaugural edition and few seasons after that up untill 2016.

Sawai Man Singh stadium used to be their fortress remember they had a record or something they defended every single whenever they scored more than 140 in that venue.

Someone like a Siddharth Tridevi comes to my mind in defending those low scores.

It has got to do with Barthakur(Rajasthan Royals Chairman) wanting his nephew(or whatever Riyan Parag is to him) to succeed. The move to Guwahati Barsapura is probably among the weirdest by any franchise. East and West, the pitches are different and why on earth would the Assamese people support Rajasthan? If they want a 2nd stadium, might as well move within Rajasthan or the bordering states.

Delhi and Vizag also doesn't make sense here. Another one that needs to be nipped in the bud.

Why are RCB not playing Bhuveneswar Kumar?

 

[Aravind.]

I dunno why Sam Curran is still playing, instead of Devon Conway and why Anshul Kamboj is still not playing, atleast as impact player.

Seriously I am a Dhoni fan but this is just ridiculous! Why play when you just do not have to bat?

 

[Gaurav_7]

Also funny thing is, the two playing in the centre now are playing as if it is a run a ball to win. And I am amazed no commentator has even talked about Dhoni not coming out to bat!

This all seems scripted.

The commentary is all time meh these days.

As if they are saying what the broadcasters want them to say.

You don't remember the last time Dhoni got Harsha Bhogle blacklisted?

 

[icyman]

What?

He was t playing in the 1st game. I thought the new captain benched him.

You don't remember the last time Dhoni got Harsha Bhogle blacklisted?

Still,no reason why he shouldn't bat higher. The team is actually in doldrums and he chooses to not to come and smash a few.

 

[icyman]

Lot of noise regarding Dhoni a d his batting position. Treating CSK as his own property - my final word, please gracefully step aside.

 

[wasteyouryouth]

my final word

I guess I have asked in previous seasons too but I tend to forget. What's the impact rule for the foreign players?

Can a team play 4 foreigners in the playing XI and sub one of them for a foreigner impact player during the match or is it 4 foreigners INCLUDING the impact player?

And what BCCI wants them to say. That's why Irfan Pathan is out of the commentary team this season - because he pointed out few things against India's blue eyed players struggling with form.

Well he was a puppet too

Didn't utter a single word against Rohit Sharma's form in test matches infact was giggling when Rohit Sharma gave that interview and said "2 bacche ka baap hu".
