IPL (2025) - Discussion Thread

[RamLakhan]

Why all these Jitesh Sharma Rajat Patidar coming ahead of Tim David and Romario Shepard?

It was a twilight time in the innings (middle overs whether to steady the innings or attack). Anyways no issues its a perfect result...

 

[Justcrazy]

26 runs of this over

Mahtre has destroyed Kumar here

 

[Justcrazy]

CSK need 163 runs in 94 balls.

Stunning batting so far.

 

[Justcrazy]

Out

Krunal makes breakthrough.

 

[BDfanforever]

Here comes 120k medium pacer Krunal Pandya.

 

[Justcrazy]

Four

Curran starts with boundary.

 

[Justcrazy]

Ngidi making his RCB debut.

 

[Ball Blazer]

Khaleel Ahmed concedes 65 runs in 3 overs - the most by a bowler in a T20 history bowling 3 or fewer overs.

 

[Devadwal]

17 year old Ayush Mhatre 40(20)*. Wow

 

[Croma]

Jadeja and Dhonu missed so many full tosses...

RCB defeat CSK in a thriller by 2 runs
===
Royal Challengers Bengaluru, on the back of half-centuries from Virat Kohli, Jacob Bethell and Romario Shepherd, ended up scoring 213/5 from 20 overs. Patidar’s RCB find themselves comfortably sitting in third place in the points table with 14 points, and a win vs CSK could make them the first team to qualify for the playoffs in IPL 2025. Lungi Ngidi picks Dewald Brevis CSK four down

Chennai, who became the first team to be eliminated from the playoffs race, will fight for their pride. The five-time champion has had a lacklustre campaign, winning just two games from 10 matches. A mid-season captain transfer to MS Dhoni after injured Ruturaj Gaikwad was ruled out, alongside a poor auction strategy, contributed to CSK’s woeful season.

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.

Prasidh has been spectacular though. Looked the best pacer this IPL including overseas guys.

Yes but it is alarming we didnt see any new fresh faces come through this year

Enough for your Islamist mentality .Shami and Siraj are always part of Indian team .

Indian has won the champion trophy without Bumrah.

 

[Devadwal]

Yet another Trilller in the greatest league in the World . Always happy whenever CSK lose.

Thala farewell runied by Yash Dayal twice now.

When your eyes are clouded by religion that is all you will see. Have your forgotten Indias last ICC Troohy performance? They win it without Bumrah. Shami is done on white ball team that is he won’t be in the squad. Siraj is blowing hot and cold and may or may not make it. Prasidh is the best pacer in the tournament which includes Cummins, Hazelhood, etc. India will do fine. Take your bigotry elsewhere

Jasprit Bumrah ICC ranked 40th in T20. That means he hardly plays T20 for India. India has won 28 of their last 31 T20 internationals.

Arshdeep 40 wickets at 14.45 avge 7.55 ER highest wicket taker for INdia

[Devadwal]

A match with no outcome on the road to playoffs.

KKR is still in the race if they can win all remaining 4 matches . But yea it's highly unlikely.

Russell is scoring only in 1-2 match which is not enough for KKR .

 

[Shehmir]

(17.5)

 

[Devadwal]

Hattrick of six by Russell against Theekshana bowling.

KKR is going to score 200

[Devadwal]

Dre Russ plays one innings in the tournament and plays 14 free matches for the next year.

 

[Devadwal]

RR need 207 to win the match. Time for Sooryavanshi and Jaiswal to give a strong response .

 

[Shehmir]

Great knock by Russel

 

[Devadwal]

Vaibhav to vaibhav .

[Shehmir]

Rajistan royals should win from here

 

[Devadwal]

6 Consecutive Sixes From Riyan Parag but in a different overs .

- Rahul Tewatia off Sheldon Cottrell, 2020
- Ravindra Jadeja off Harshal Patel, 2021
- Rinku Singh off Yash Dayal, 2023
- Riyan Parag off Moeen Ali, 2025

 

[Shehmir]

Hetmyr out

 

[Devadwal]

It happened after 1 season.

 

[Shehmir]

RR need 37 runs off 17 balls! Parag is the key for them for here

 

[Croma]

Impact sub totally destroyed the momentum of the chase 8(5)*.. or we can give credit to the bowler Rana

 

[Devadwal]

Dhruv Jurel & Shimron Hetmyer - Two biggest disappointment for RR in this season.

 

[Shehmir]

Parag missed his century

 

[Shehmir]

Now big trouble for Rajistan Royals

 

[Shehmir]

[kron]

Mayank yadav is so trash

Has become a Trundler like Pakistani bowlers

 

[SportsWarrior]

Some memorable matches in this IPL. Unbelievable Indian talent on display. It used to be that these domestic players used to make up numbers but this season so many of them have becomes outright superstars. Unbelievable talent and excitement

But mayank sucks so bad

Trundler now from 150

 

[kron]

I despise trundlers

Trundlers shouldn’t exist in modern game unless you are extremely skilful and have steep bounce

 

[Justcrazy]

Punjab is well set for 200 plus here

 

[Devadwal]

India Young talents are better than overseas player.

 

[Justcrazy]

Shashank and Stonis to come , ominous signs for Lucknow here

 

[Devadwal]

Back to back six by prabsimran

 

[Justcrazy]

161 . 3

30 balls to go , this can be nightmare for Lucknow , will be interesting to see how Pant uses his bowlers in crunch.

 

[Justcrazy]

yadav gets Nehal here .

 

[Devadwal]

David Miller said, "Dharamshala is one of the best stadiums in the world"

This is such a beautiful stadium

 

[Ball Blazer]

Shreyas Iyer:

400+ runs in IPL 2015.
400+ runs in IPL 2018.
400+ runs in IPL 2019.
500+ runs in IPL 2020.
400+ runs in IPL 2022.
400+ runs in IPL 2025.

 

[Justcrazy]

Mayank Yadav has been disappointed this season , people were comparing him with legends , he has been brought to dustt.

 

[Justcrazy]

206 . 4

13 balls to go , a big target coming up.

 

[Justcrazy]

237 is the target , you need to get going from first ball , if Lucknow want to win they need to target 70 in Power play.

 

[Justcrazy]

Dot balls will hurt LSG

 

[Devadwal]

Arshdeep is a quality bowler .india should gamble with him and take him for England test series .

@Nikhil_cric what is your opinion about Arshdeep The test bowler?

 

[Justcrazy]

When you are chasing such a big target , you will need a couple of 20 plus overs somewhere .

 

[Justcrazy]

Arshdeep is a quality bowler .india should gamble with him and take him for England test series .

@Nikhil_cric what is your opinion about Arshdeep The test bowler?

In FC he has 66 wickets in 21 games at average of 30

 

[Devadwal]

LSG need to score 75 in The PP. Don't let RRR cross over 15+ .

 

[Devadwal]

In FC he has 66 wickets in 21 games at average of 30

Nothing extraordinary ,more importantly can he bowl 20+ over in a day?
