IPL (2025) - Discussion Thread

[Bhaijaan]

Delhi & Punjab, historically the two most ghareeb teams of IPL with very few playoff appearances and no trophies are Top 2 so far this season.

The real test still awaits them in the playoffs.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Back in Top 2

I hope we secure a Top 2 finish. Its crucial, as 3-4 teams have to then go on a 3 match winning streak to lift the trophy.

Winning it bhai

 

[Bhaijaan]

Winning it bhai

Lets what this team is made of.

Right now i am still not sure if we're making the playoffs. Punjab has had a history of choking when it counts.

 

[Human786]

IPL is too long to be of value ... ideally should have finished by end of this month !!!

 

[Fanboy375]

If IPL keep having 170-180 runs match than it will be interesting.250 runs totals are nonsense.

 

[Devadwal]

It's a double header match day.

First GT vs DC at Narendra Modi stadium , Ahemdabad
2nd RR vs LSG at SMS stadium , Jaipur.

Waiting for mayank vs Jaiswal. Hoping to see mayank hit again 150 instead of becoming a trundler.

Mayank may not play Today but in The next game

 

[Devadwal]

Gujarat Titans won The Toss and Opt to bowl first

Playing XIs

DC: Porel, Karun, Rahul (WK), Stubbs, Axar (C), Ashutosh, Vipraj, Starc, Kuldeep, Mohit, Mukesh

GT: Sudharsan, Gill (C), Buttler (WK), Shahrukh, Tewatia, Rashid, Arshad, Kishore, Prasidh, Siraj, Ishant

 

[Devadwal]

This is going to be a High scoring match.

DC 16/0 in 1 over

 

[Vikram1989]

Mayank may not play Today but in The next game

As per cricinfo, mayank is going to play

 

[Devadwal]

As per cricinfo, mayank is going to play

We will see . Hopefully he will play.

 

[Devadwal]

DC 41/1(3) . Rahul and Karun Nair are looking in solid touch

 

[Human786]

The prodigal Shah jr is wearing a hideous hair piece ... criminal to have afternoon games in this weather !
DC win loading it seems ... 210+ on !

 

[Devadwal]

This pitch is such run heavy. 200+ is expected but don't want DC to get away with 230-240 type score.

GT management will arrange water stations, Sun Visors, Sunscreens, ORS available for the afternoon games at Narendra Modi Stadium in IPL 2025

 

[Devadwal]

KL Rahul is gone 28(14). DC 58/2 in 4.4 over. Good bowling by Prasidh Krishna.

 

[Devadwal]

Brilliant from Krishna to put in a yorker. Rahul was camping on backfoot expecting another back of length ball. Keep getting wickets and runs can be restricted. Huge wicket this, will make atleast 20-30 run difference

 

[Human786]

GT management will arrange water stations, Sun Visors, Sunscreens, ORS available for the afternoon games at Narendra Modi Stadium in IPL 2025

no airconditioned dome

 

[Human786]

decent pp ... 73/2 in 6

 

[Human786]

Krishna doing well - nice , was rated so high playing U19 ... 100/3 in 9

 

[Human786]

that is out ...

 

[Devadwal]

DC batting depth is not great in this match so GT needs to takes the wickets

 

[Human786]

that is out ...

not , strange

 

[Devadwal]

not , strange

Pitching outside leg

 

[Devadwal]

This must be out ?

Damn just pitching outside the leg. DC is so lucky .

 

[Devadwal]

DC 111/3 in 11 overs.

 

[Human786]

146/3 in 14 - over 215 ?

 

[Human786]

poor Ishant looks sick - they should make that turd Shah run 5 laps of this ground in this heat !!!

 

[Human786]

Axar has been good as a skipper ....

 

[Devadwal]

Gill and Nehra forgot about sai kishore? Not a single over given to him .

 

[Devadwal]

Scheduling day games in this heat( Even mid April ) is cruel on the players, umpires and fans.

 

[Human786]

bowling 1st might turn out to be a real bad choice ... players look sick of heat !
163/4 in 16

 

[Devadwal]

Yet Another catch dropped by GT fielders

 

[Human786]

[Devadwal]

What a Blinder taken by Buttler. Back to back wickets for GT
DC 173/6 in 17.2 overs

 

[Devadwal]

Impact sub - 1(3) . Lol

DC 191/7 in 18.4 overs .

Ashutosh is playing a Cameo. 34(14)*

 

[Devadwal]

Sai Kishore is bowling final over with 4 fielders outside the circle. Wow

 

[Devadwal]

Outstanding over so far by Sai Kishore .just 5 runs in 5 ball and huge wicket of ashutosh. Gill should have given him more over

 

[Devadwal]

204 is target for GT

 

[Human786]

hopefully GujjuT's would have melted fielding 1st & lose the game ...

 

[Devadwal]

What a beautiful shot by Sai .pure class

 

[Devadwal]

Gill run out. Total brainfade as there was not run at all.

 

[Devadwal]

Sai Sudharsan is having good tournament.
GT 41/1 in 4 overs

 

[Devadwal]

Buttler needs to Play till the end .

GT 70/1 in 6.4 overs

 

[Devadwal]

Here comes the Trump card of DC , Kuldeep.

 

[Devadwal]

Here comes the Trump card of DC , Kuldeep.

Straight way get's the breakthrough . Sai gone

 

[Devadwal]

Rutherford has to play match winning knock tonight. He fisted his team twice

 

[Vikram1989]

What a beautiful shot by Sai .pure class

He was playing as though starc is slow and letting the ball reach him.only a great player can like that .he should be drafted in to test and odis .

 

[Devadwal]

@Bhaijaan Starc 3 over 39 runs 0 wickets . Destroy by GT

 

[Devadwal]

Sudarshan is going for England tour.

 

[Devadwal]

GT needs 15 runs from 12 ball

 

[Devadwal]

11 from 9 . It's getting close

 

[Devadwal]

Rutherford gone. Another PATHETIC innings .

11 from 8. Another thriller loading

 

[kron]

@Bhaijaan Starc 3 over 39 runs 0 wickets . Destroy by GT

Tulla bowler in t20 and tests

Only good in useless outdated odi format

Tulla bowler
Starc tulla

Railukatta tulla Starcy

Should change name to Stacey

 

[Devadwal]

GT needs 10 from last over. What a great over by mukesh kumar .

 

[Devadwal]

Hahahaha starc smashed for a six by tewtatia @Bhaijaan .

4 from 5 now

 

[Devadwal]

Starc has lost the game for DC .

Now time for #Hallabol

 

[jnaveen1980]

Another Buttler innings that was for the ages.

 

[Devadwal]

Starc match losing spell , 3.2 over 49 runs and zero wicket. @Bhaijaan aa gya swad

 

[Devadwal]

Jofra vs Pooran

Seated

 

[jnaveen1980]

Starc match losing spell , 3.2 over 49 runs and zero wicket. @Bhaijaan aa gya swad

I think Buttler completely demoralized him in that over. He was not the same after that

 

[Devadwal]

Pooran gone for 11. Big wicket for RR.

 

[Devadwal]

Pant is having a nightmare tournament. Another failure , gone for 3

 

[RamLakhan]

If Dhoni goes out next year (hopefully), Pant can move to CSK. CSK can turn forturnes of any player. Pant can finally get hold of T20/IPL. Also CSK needs fresh breeze...

 

[BDfanforever]

Why is there constant heartbeat sound while they are taking forever with DRS?

 

[BDfanforever]

Pant is having a nightmare tournament. Another failure , gone for 3

Most hyped and biggest buyout of IPL.

 

[BDfanforever]

Yeah well "Nicky P" is the best Rap name. Of course best ever rap name is "Dhoniconda" or something like that.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pant batting is a big concern , he was not a great 20 20 player but he is not looked comfortable at all.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lucknow 111 . 3

42 balls left , they can get to 180 plus from here.

 

[Devadwal]

LSG is winning this game easily .this is slow pitch and this partnership already won the match for them.

111-3 in 13 overs

 

[BDfanforever]

There need to be a thread about price to performance ratio. I always feel all the hyped up super expensive players always under perform significantly.

Few years ago someone like Unadkat was highest buyout of IPL I think, he himself was in shock.

 

[Justcrazy]

67 runs partnership so far.

 

[BDfanforever]

Damon Simon Katich has not aged well.

 

[Devadwal]

LSG 131/4 in 16 overs .

 

[Justcrazy]

139 / 4

Projected score is around 175 from here

 

[Devadwal]

Badoni gone. 141/5 in 17.3 overs. 175+ is winning score here

 

[Devadwal]

153/5 in 19 overs .need to finish last over well

 

[Devadwal]

Sandeep Sharma has lost it for RR .27 Run from last over .

LSG 180/5
