IPL (2025) - Discussion Thread

[Hitman]

Bumrah not looking good so far. Are you worried for Eng tour?

@Devadwal

Shouldn't have played in the IPL this year.

 

[BDfanforever]

Impact Player League T20.

What a waste of a talent Karun Nair.

UPDATED POINTS TABLE (13-04-2025)​

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Nicholas Pooran has hit a six on average every 5.2 balls he's faced at #IPL2025

TOSS UPDATE

The coin lands in favour of MS Dhoni and Chennai Super Kings have elected to BOWL first.

 

[Justcrazy]

100 up for Lucknow , Chennai need to restrict Lucknow under 180 , to have a chance.

 

[Devadwal]

CSK has become very boring team. No real indian Young super star in The CSK team . Only Anshul Kamboj bowling I'm interested but he is more of a test bowler .

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Pathirana gets Badoni , crucial wickets at right moment, looks like today can be Chennai day.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

The standard of cricket is quite low tbh. 44 year old MSD still captain. Shameful for so called talunt India.

But they have to stick with the same squad more or less in the next two years as well , a major change only possible at a major auction. It is very likely this could be the last year of Dhoni , if that is the case , Chennai should have changed the squad this year and start fresh in this new cycle.

The reason Dhoni is still playing , is not because he is the best player available in the country , it is because of the financial aspect.

 

[Justcrazy]

CSK getting robbed twice with this new technology. Once when Dhoni needed a no-ball and today when CSK needed the wicket.

From CSK fan's to owner want's Dhoni no matter what will be result . idiots

 

[Justcrazy]

Badoni again survives a close call with review !!!

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Luck runs out for Badoni , he finally perishes.

It will be interesting to see how Lucknow lower middle order bat .

 

[Justcrazy]

Pathirana has 3 overs left , out of six left.

That will be critical.

 

[Devadwal]

I think CSK is winning this game .

 

[Justcrazy]

118 . 6

24 balls left for Lucknow , they would be looking at 160 plus here

 

[Croma]

Pant doesnt even look like a decent T20 batter
Plenty of mistakes by MSD while keeping

 

[Prince of Dorne]

Man, this is just sad to see Pant struggling like that.

 

[Croma]

Pathirana should bowl slower ones... the faster sone will be dispatched for sixes

 

[Croma]

two sixes by Pant... gets to 50... Pathi continues to bowl quicker deliveries

 

[Justcrazy]

Six

Pant looking to attack here

 

[Prince of Dorne]

Six

Pant looking to attack here

He was looking to attack for a very long time, just that it looks really ugly when he fails to connect.

 

[Croma]

That was a freak direct hit from MSD

 

[Prince of Dorne]

Damn Thala you beauty!!

 

[Croma]

Pant goes 63(49).... was it a match winning inning?

 

[RamLakhan]

CSK can use Dhoni as impact sub (for only keeping & captaincy). Dube should replace him (Any bowler/alrounder can bat better than him and especially wouldn't hesitate to bat up the order)

 

[Justcrazy]

The pitch is not that easy to be honest. Chennai has to play with proper plan and execution.

 

[RamLakhan]

Pant goes 63(49).... was it a match winning inning?

CSK & RR struggle to chase anything above 160+ on slower pitches...

 

[Justcrazy]

CSK can use Dhoni as impact sub (for only keeping & captaincy). Dube should replace him (Any bowler/alrounder can bat better than him and especially wouldn't hesitate to bat up the order)

Dhoni needs to come in PP and try to slog , that is best solution.

 

[Croma]

Brilliant planning from Pant and LSG management. Miller remains not out on 0(0)

 

[Justcrazy]

Very good last over by pathirana , Chennai needs 167 to win.

 

[Justcrazy]

CSK need 95 runs in 74 balls.

 

[Justcrazy]

Markhan gets Rachin !!!

 

[Justcrazy]

Jadeja comes up the order here , he is experienced and needs to guide this chase.

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Now Tripathi gone , Chennai making it tough for themselves , this was a straight forward target.

 

[Justcrazy]

Chennai is finding it hard to score here. Things getting more and more difficult against spinners.

 

[Justcrazy]

SIX

Dubey finally connects one.

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Bishnoi gets Jadeja , this wickets opens up the game.

 

[Justcrazy]

Shankar hits first ball he faces to boundary , Chennai need a quick cameo from someone here to ease the pressure.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lucknow has tightened up the screws here , Chennai need to play very well here to win this.

 

[Justcrazy]

CSK need 56 runs in 30 balls.

Dhoni needs to play captain innings here , can he hit 3 - 4 sixes ?

 

[Justcrazy]

Lucknow bowling beautifully , giving nothing away to batsmen here.

 

[Justcrazy]

CSK need 37 runs in 19 balls.

 

[Devadwal]

Yet another Trilller in IPL . CSK favourite

 

[Devadwal]

24 of 12. Still CSK favourite

 

[Devadwal]

Today CSK fan's are going to Hyped Dhoni damm

20(8)*

CSK needs 12 of 10 .

 

[Justcrazy]

Pant made tactical blunder by removing spin and he pays the price .

 

[gazza619]

No offence to our Indian posters, but what kinda quality league is this where 118 kph Lord Shardul is a death bowler?

 

[Devadwal]

Oldies dhoni winning the game is not good for cricket.

 

[Justcrazy]

Chennai can win if they restrict opposition within 180. That is their best chance .

 

[Justcrazy]

I do not think Chennai can make play offs , but Lucknow chances will be affected by this defeat.

 

[Justcrazy]

Chennai one blow away from their second win , this season.

 

[Justcrazy]

Chennai win by 5 wickets , with three balls to spare !!

 

[Devadwal]

I do not think Chennai can make play offs , but Lucknow chances will be affected by this defeat.

Theh needed 180 and CSK would have not chased any score above 180.

Adam Zampa Ruled Out Of IPL 2025, SRH Pick Smaran Ravichandran As Replacement

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)’s leg-spinner Adam Zampa has been ruled out of the IPL 2025 due to an injury. The franchise has signed promising Karnataka batter Smaran Ravichandran as a replacement.

IPL announced the change in a social media post on Monday (April 14). They only mentioned that Zampa was ‘injured’ without explaining the nature of the issue. Though Ravichandran can bowl a bit, he’s predominantly a top-to-middle-order batter who can play in a variety of gears and look elegant while

Shardul can bowl at 140 clicks when he wants to, but the pitch was slow and slower ones were more effective.

In terms of quality, Lord Shardul is better than all of your mainstay bowlers. May be not super skillful but one of the smarter bowlers going around. Guy won us a test in Australia for crying out loud, bookmark this thread and reply back when your braindead phaaster lot wins you an Asia Cup or something.

Didnt know IPL was test cricket

 

[gazza619]

Our bowlers are bad, but not that bad

 

[Prince of Dorne]

Our bowlers are bad, but not that bad

Thik hai ji. Your bowlers are great.

 

[gazza619]

Thik hai ji. Your bowlers are great.

Shukriya

 

[BDfanforever]

LSG lost due to selfish innings by Pant plus some terrible bowling from Shardul and Avesh.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

 

[Croma]

I was just about to praise Arya and he donates his wicket by casually flicking away his wicket.

 

[RamLakhan]

Looks like this year its going to be most competitive IPL with every team competing hard... Seasoned teams (MI, CSK, SRH) at the bottom may fight back now... So its going to get very interesting and NRR is going to play a key role this time!

 

[Croma]

Without bothering to look at stats I would like to believe that Maxwell must be like the worst player in IPL history

 

[Devadwal]

PKBS all out for Just 111. Wow

Didn't watch a single ball due to some work but aren't they so strong this season. What happened today?

 

[Devadwal]

Maxwell is biggest fraud and its High time IPL teams Shouldn't select this tullebaaz player

 

[Devadwal]

I think from now on MI and KKR are going to dominates.

Really disappointed by PBKS performance today. Their overseas player's are not performing at all.

Time to dropped Maxwell from playing eleven

 

[Devadwal]

Rinku Singh is not going to find a place in Indian team the way he is performing recently.

 

[Devadwal]

KKR 74/5 . Is there any twist left

 

[Devadwal]

chahal strikes and Rinku is gone

76/6 . They still need 36 runs and Russell is still there.

 

[Devadwal]

OMG ramandeep gone for golden duck. Hahah

KKR 76/7 and chahal is on hattrick. Unbelievable

 

[Devadwal]

YUZVENDRAAAAA FREAKING CHAHALLLLLLLL.

 

[Devadwal]

Run rate is not a issue for KKR . They need 33 from 45 balls .

 

[Prince of Dorne]

I am sorry, but any pitch that makes Chahal unplayable is not a good pitch.

 

[Devadwal]

Yesssss . Russell is gone.

KKR ARE EIGHT DOWN AND THEY STILL NEEDS 33 RUNS

KKR 79/8 . Unbelievable comeback by PBKS

 

[Devadwal]

I am sorry, but any pitch that makes Chahal unplayable is not a good pitch.

Just enjoy the match bro .we have seen too many High scoring matches so I'll take this one as well.

Defending 111 is not a joke on any pitches.
