Indian Premier League - General Discussion

[SaiSrini]

One player of DC has tested positive.

Can they somehow cancel the IPL and play the remaining part of the tournament in October? Will help CSK get back Deepak Chahar!

On a serious note - I dont think positive cases in the bubble this year, is going to affect the tournament. They've already increased crowd capacity to 50% and cases outside the IPL bubble are at an all time low (its not even showing an uptick despite the scare mongering of BA.2, BA.3, BA.4, BA.5, BA.XE (recombinant of BA.1 and 2), etc.). Theaters in India are at pre-pandemic levels, overflowing with crowds who have dropped masks.

On a serious note - Cricinfo already has an article today that the said player has now tested negative. I dont think positive cases in the bubble this year, is going to affect the tournament. They've already increased crowd capacity to 50% and cases outside the IPL bubble are at an all time low (its not even showing an uptick despite the scare mongering of BA.2, BA.3, BA.4, BA.5, BA.XE (recombinant of BA.1 and 2), etc.).

This year we don't have that window.

How does A.Finch manage to walk into a team? Isn't he past his prime?

Cummins as a bowler is not working for KKR. If I'm remembering it right, he was expensive last season too.

U.Yadav seems to have gotten his old mojo back (IYKWIM). He was unbelievable in the first couple of games.

Always felt Cummins, as a T20 bowler, isn't up to much.

How bad is the over rate this IPL?

Despite 7.30 local time start games are finishing after 11.00.

Interesting that of the new rules introduced over the last couple of years elsewhere, they haven't adopted is one to keep matches shorter.

Finch seems to have made some adjustments to his stance to counter the low bounce of the subcontinent pitches.
