IPL (2025) - Discussion Thread

[Bhaijaan]

Kudos to whoever designed the jersey for Sunrisera. Unique , flashy, gives a real identity to this team to be honest

Little things make differences

 

[Bhaijaan]

How does Travis Head get away with these kinda misses all the time.

Fortune favours the brave

 

[Bhaijaan]

Travis bhai career T20 SR is 149

 

[Bhaijaan]

He’s such a cutie

What is going on? Good batting, poor bowling or flat pitch?

 

[Rana]

184 in 13 overs

Tunn ke rakho

 

[BouncerGuy]

This is like stick cricket. or ea 2007

 

[OldWarHorse]

So much talent in Indian cricket, likes of Nitish and Kishan are not even part of LOI teams proper

 

[DTrump]

SRH are changing T20 batting.
Incredible commitment to the cause.

Kishan was a loser at Mumbai
batting like a superstar here.

Everyone batting at 200 SR.
It is not one guy having a great day. The whole team throwing hands. Remarkable.

 

[sweep_shot]

SRH has the worst cricket jersey of all time. Terrible design.

I think their previous jersey was better.

 

[DTrump]

They will score 250 without a contribution from Klaasen. He may still go but you get the point. Wow.

 

[Bhaijaan]

What is going on? Good batting, poor bowling or flat pitch?

All of that at once

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Archer lol

 

[Devadwal]

Archer lol

3 over 57 runs. How Many runs he will give in final over?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

3 over 57 runs. How Many runs he will give in final over?

15

 

[Bhaijaan]

What is the highest team score in IPL history? It might be broken today.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Klaasen maar raha hae

Fewest balls taken for 1000 IPL runs
545 - Andre Russell
594 - Heinrich Klaasen*
604 - Virender Sehwag
610 - Glenn Maxwell
617 - Yusuf Pathan
617 - Sunil Narine

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Poor Dravid doesn't look amused

 

[Bhaijaan]

Klaasen maar raha hae

Fewest balls taken for 1000 IPL runs
545 - Andre Russell
594 - Heinrich Klaasen*
604 - Virender Sehwag
610 - Glenn Maxwell
617 - Yusuf Pathan
617 - Sunil Narine

Only one of them has two triple centuries and a 294*



Legend

 

[Rajdeep]

Surely Archer is done and probably will no longer play for England? Looks finished

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What is the highest team score in IPL history? It might be broken today.

288 by SRH last year against RCB

 

[BouncerGuy]

300 loading.... joke

 

[Bhaijaan]

Archer has been violated today by Sunrisers

 

[Bhaijaan]

251/3

Archer on 71* (as a bowler)

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4-0-76-0 Archer

 

[sweep_shot]

300 loading.... joke

This is simply not cricket.

Video game stuff.

 

[Devadwal]

15

You underestimated Jofra ability to leaks the runs . 19 + 4 leg bye= 23 runs

 

[Croma]

Archer 4-0-76-0

 

[Deewana Mastana]

288 by SRH last year against RCB

This can be breached today

 

[BouncerGuy]

279 already

 

[Bhaijaan]

288 by SRH last year against RCB

279*

4 balls to go

 

[Rajdeep]

This is simply not cricket.

Video game stuff.

Too much talent in India

 

[Devadwal]

300 loading.... joke

If hypocrisy has a face this is perfect example ,a day ago you was the same guy that enjoyed Brainless Tullebaaz batting and these are world best T20 player's .

Level to dekho jara apna

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They need to get a single and get Kishan on strike

Wasting deliveries now

 

[Deewana Mastana]

No breaching of 288 today

SRH end with 286-6

 

[Devadwal]

286 is the final score

 

[Bhaijaan]

286/6

Missed the all time IPL record by 3 runs

Nevertheless what an effort.

 

[Croma]

ABhishek Sharma
Travis Head
Ishan Kishan
Klassen


This is one behemoth T20I batting line up and today all fired

 

[Devadwal]

Jofra Archer's spell of 4-0-76-0 today is the:

- most expensive in #IPL history
- eighth most expensive in T20s
- third most expensive by an English bowler

 

[RyanRyan10]

Archer + Farooqui 7-0-125-0

 

[OldWarHorse]

Would have been a good score in the CT final

 

[Bhaijaan]

Sunrisers have 4 of the top 5 team totals ever in IPL

All in 2024-25

 

[Bhaijaan]

Jofra Archer's spell of 4-0-76-0 today is the:

- most expensive in #IPL history
- eighth most expensive in T20s
- third most expensive by an English bowler

Most expensive in IPL history gonna stay with him for a long time

 

[Devadwal]

Poor RR has to face this batting lineup in the first match. Very unfair

 

[Devadwal]

Khush toh bohot hogi aap aaj Kavya ji

 

[ufcfan]

SRH has the worst cricket jersey of all time. Terrible design.

I think their previous jersey was better.

You are absolutely so bad when it comes to taste,it is one of the best designed jersey

 

[kingusama92]

I sat down to watch an IPL match after 4-5 years and looks like I chose an entertaining one.

Thought I might even see 300 runs at one point. What a whooping.

 

[Vikram1989]

Opposition should cautiously make sure not to loose too much run rate while facing srh especially on Hyderabad track.otherwise it will be double whammy.

 

[Vikram1989]

Shami looking in much better rhythm and fitness than Ct

 

[Vikram1989]

Cummins predicted Simerjeet as big thing from srh.i thought he was bluffing. But simerjeet looks good and bowling 140 plus effortlessly. Suddenly every one is bowling 140 plus .

 

[deltexas]

Head , Abhishek ,Kishan ,Reddy and Klassen - The monsters of T20 cricket.

My innocent team is getting hammered by these monsters

SRH playing real T20 cricket ! Wow 286. Travishek and Ishan show today

 

[deltexas]

This is simply not cricket.

Video game stuff.

Did you see the game? Incredible hitting and fitness. The Ban cricket team cannot even remotely dream of doing anything like this

 

[deltexas]

Khush toh bohot hogi aap aaj Kavya ji

View attachment 152526

Great fun to see my home team Sunrisers smashing it everywhere today and also a smiling Kavya !

 

[Fanboy375]

Another year where IPL shows they don't care about quality cricket instead of just scoring 250+

 

[deltexas]

300 loading.... joke

Not a joke yes. This is some serious batting. Incredible power hitting and incredible fitness and ability. Wow! 285 in 20 overs . Thats why I had said the next gen Ind T20 batting is gonna be incredible and will be world beaters..

 

[deltexas]

Another year where IPL shows they don't care about quality cricket instead of just scoring 250+

Do you think scoring 285 even on flat flat tracks is easy?? Still needs remarkable skill ability and buying in into playing a certain attacking way. Yes in that pursuit they can be bowled out for 120- but so be it. Sunrisers are pushing the t20 limits to the edge here. Go Sunrisers !

 

[Champ_Pal]

Way too many gun keeper batsmen for India to choose.

Samson, Jurel, Pant, Kishan, KL Rahul...

They could be the entire batting line up and India would still do well.

 

[Vikram1989]

Jurel is doing what we expect pant to do in t20s

 

[Champ_Pal]

Jurel is doing what we expect pant to do in t20s

Pant has trouble to hit when the field is set for big shots. He hits it straight to the fielders. In Test cricket, the fields are set in attacking positions and when Pant counter attacks, it pays off for him.

Among all the keeper batsmen I listed in my above post, Pant has to rank the lowest in T20 cricket.

 

[Devadwal]

Jurel is pure class. @Rana this is proper hitter

 

[Vikram1989]

Among all the keeper batsmen I listed in my above post, Pant has to rank the lowest in T20 cricket.

Pant will easily clear the same long on/off /boundary riders in test march but struggles like hell in t20s.he just don't think clearly in LOI.

 

[Vikram1989]

I hope jurel will get opportunities in odis as kl back up.kl will have that long dry patch out of blue any time.

 

[Smbhayi]

Pant will easily clear the same long on/off /boundary riders in test march but struggles like hell in t20s.he just don't think clearly in LOI.

He over hitting in loi rather than timing..

 

[Smbhayi]

Why didn't RR give over to Sandeep in pp, one of the best pp bowler in ipl..?

 

[Smbhayi]

Wow Shubham Dubey can hit, though he misjudjed a catch of Kishan earlier..

 

[ufcfan]

He over hitting in loi rather than timing..

This

 

[Bhaijaan]

Shivam bhai

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shubham should've come in ahead of Hetmeyer

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hetmeyer's been washed up for sometime

 

[Smbhayi]

Not a bad reply from RR after losing 3 wickets in pp

 

[Nephrologist]

Shivam bhai

Shubham*

 

[Nephrologist]

Hetmeyer's been washed up for sometime

Strike rate of 118 in Int T20s. Highly overrated and unfit

 

[Nephrologist]

Archer has been violated today by Sunrisers

One of the most over rated bowlers of recent times, alogn with Mark Wood.

 

[Kianig89]

Many layers of IPL , a stick cricket type game , though SRH star power like Real Madridesque , Cummins Head Zampa Klassen , are they cricket's Roberto Carlos, Figo , Zidane & Ronaldo

 

[Vikram1989]

Feeding pacers to sky at first is atrocious.should have brought spinners rt away.Tilak at 5 will really struggle against the spinners. He has huge sr issues against spin.

 

[Nephrologist]

Many layers of IPL , a stick cricket type game , though SRH star power like Real Madridesque , Cummins Head Zampa Klassen , are they cricket's Roberto Carlos, Figo , Zidane & Ronaldo

Not all pitches are like this. Plus SRH has the most brutal batting line up in the world of t20 cricket. This is the template Indian team is also following now. India has been scoring huge totals for fun recently against BD and SA in SA.

 

[Nephrologist]

Ashwin strikes!!

 

[Nephrologist]

People like Samson. Tilak Varma etc are proper range hitters. Not blind sloggers. They can also adjust their game according to stiuation. This is what Pak should be looking for. Not blind sloggers

 

[Rajdeep]

El Classico going on as we speak...GOAT Rivalry

@Bhaag Viru Bhaag @Slim

 

[Nephrologist]

SRH has the worst cricket jersey of all time. Terrible design.

I think their previous jersey was better.

Nobody in the history of Cricket makes consistently pathetic and eye sore jerseys liek Bangladesh. Absolutely hideous
