Yes , he can bowl , question is how fit he will be .

India will have Reddy to bowl 10 overs and Jadeja or Washington to bowl some overs.

Bumrah , Siraj will play , so one position is left , Arsh has to fight for that one spot with others.

Most of the players have fatigue before England series due to IPL . So fitness is going to be key.

Bumrah will need some support from other bowler's and unfortunately i can't see many quality options.

Siraj , Prasidh Krishna , mukesh kumar etc are other options.

Prasidh is a good bowler , if given regular opportunities he can develop into a solid bowler.
 
Is Pant constantly bullying Badoni? Keeps complaining every delivery

Pant donates his wicket yet again. Cant play normal cricketing shots... only circus level batter

What? Hope for the best lol
India have the best all conditions pace attack in tests

It’s the batters the useless batsmen that let us down vs swinf

They need to man up and step up for once
 
RCB, Punjab & MI are qualified (I think MI with the kind of team they have they are certain to make the playoffs at least at No.4 position even if they slip in 1 or 2 games, they have a healthy NRR and they can retain/better that in their last game if situation demands. While RCB & Punjab are well placed with 3 games in hand. But Punjab would have preferred to have not lost that 1 point to rain! So they should be on their toes in the remaining games, they have an easier game against RR. RCB is in the most comfortable position in the playoff race and they have easier games also coming up...)

DC have two virtual QFs (one against Punjab & again against GT. SRH could be an easier game, but should make sure they don't slip in that game AND last game against MI is going to be tough...) DC's position is good, but they have a tendancy to lose the momentum (they have that kind of a team), so won't be surprised if they lose all their remaining games & get knocked out from playoffs...

GT have two easier games (LSG & CSK) if they win these two games then they are qualified. So they are one level better placed compared to DC.

KKR & LSG have outside chance to qualify but its going to be extremely tough...

IPL Playoff Race is getting interesting, but this time more than NRR I think it is going to be about maximum wins, teams should aim to win the games... (That's what RCB did)

Without Bumrah, IND bowling attack looks a lot weaker. With the way things are going with Pakistan and their Muslim population I can see Siraj and Shami getting axed in the future. So, you are left with: Harshal Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Natarajan, Mukesh Kumar, Yash Dayal, Deepak Chahar, Sandeep Sharma.

We won Champions Trophy without Bumrah. Not to mention absolutely thrashing the likes of Bangladesh and England without him as well. I think we're.

I'd be worried about Bangladesh's future if I were you. Nahid Rana and Sakib were already trundling in the Zimbabwe Test series.

Looks like you already need replacements
 
DC are always like this, regress at wrong time (now as they are approaching towards playoffs). They are bit like NZ (in International Cricket). RCB are like SA... Two set of famous choke teams who have not won any major title (RCB have won a women's IPL and NZ have won an ICC Test Championship, that's about it as of now)
 
KKR & SRH should still keep their hopes alive (and they will keep, as they have won multiple titles in the past) in the playoff race! DC & Punjab are known for faltering at wrong times... I feel like one of these two teams may sneak their way into the playoffs at the last moment...
 
DC need to try and bat out full 20 overs here , 120 is not a par total , but you never know , Sunrisers ,may implode. :coffee:
 
35 runs partnership so far , both batters are settled now , they need to explode here and target 30 runs minimum in last 3 overs
 
High chance that the opponents of today’s game will face each other in the Finals again, MI vs GT.
 
Iceland Cricket Creates "IPL 2025 Frauds And Scammers Team", Rishabh Pant Named Captain

Iceland Cricket took a sharp swipe at IPL 2025 flops, assembling a team of misfiring players. They named Rishabh Pant the team's captain.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is nearing its business end, with the names of the teams set to enter the next round of fixtures getting finalized. The likes of Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Rajasthan Royals have already been knocked out from the top 4 race, with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Mumbai Indians, and Gujarat Titans are in the strongest position to qualify for the knockouts. Since the start of the tournament in March, plenty of players have punched above their weight, producing memorable shows, while there are those too, who have disappointed.

The likes of Rishabh Pant, Ishan Kishan, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Shami, Venkatesh Iyer etc. were expected to pull strings for their franchises, having been bought for big price tags in the mega auction. But so far, they haven't given their money's worth.

Iceland Cricket, known for its witty posts on social media, took a swipe at misfiring stars, assembling a team consisting of the biggest 'frauds and scammers' of the 18th edition of the league.

In a post, Iceland Cricket wrote: "On a rain day in Reyjavik, we give you our IPL 2025 frauds and scammers team: R Tripathi, R Ravindra, I Kishan, R Pant (c & wk), V Iyer, G Maxwell, L Livingstone, D Hooda, R Ashwin, M Pathirana, M Shami; No impact player: M Kumar."

Pant, who was bought for Rs 27 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction by Lucknow Super Giants, has unarguably been the biggest flop of the campaign so far. The wicket-keeper batter, who averages a little over 12, hasn't played a single match-winning knock for his side so far.

The likes of Rahul Tripathi, Rachin Ravindra, Ishan Kishan, Venkatesh Iyer, Glenn Maxwell, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Shami, etc. have also failed to live up to the expectations.

It doesn't matter whether Pant is in good form or bad form, guy is always in the news.

He had a life threatening accident. Obviously he was going to be in the news for a while even after recovery. Now he is in the news for wrong reasons. Happens with all players who were paid a lot of money at the auction.
 
It is always good to kick CSK/MI/KKR out of playoffs, they are too dangerous once they get in there... So hopefully GT, PBKS & DC go hard at them now itself (it will help their own prospects)
 
Great comeback by GT after they dropped 3 catches in the powerplay!

Now take the Naman wicket .
:kp
 
Some Bowling That From MI .I can see that energy in Mumbai Indians, they will not let this match die.

:kp
 
CHahar... didnt he take something like 6-7 in a T20I against Bangladesh. :sneaky: MI will need something like that from him today
 
Rain can be saviour for MI as they are ahead at this point.

GT 27/1 in 5.3 over and DLS par score is 37

:kp
 
And now, with the Titans ahead by eight, they take the time-out. Talk about giving something back, and giving a team a dose of their own medicine. And right on cue, the covers are coming on.
 
The sheet covering the pitch has also been removed now, and a resumption could be imminent. And we have a resumption time too. Play will restart at 11:20pm local time.
