Is IPL getting boring and losing its charm?

[BouncerGuy]

[finalfantasy7]

Seems like you have drawn a lot of inspiration from Trump lol He calls everything fake. We have shared enough authentic news sources. But you have conjured the following in your little brain (literally) and passing it as fact.

pakistan is not watching it, aussies are not - thr asleep when the game is on, windies are not, s africians are at work when the match is on" -



You have made this up lol There are so many pakistan cricketers, going through extensive analysis IPL match You should asking proof for your own made up stories before questioning 1000s of news sources. Out here

@jnaveen1980 - im waititng for the data to be supplied to me, cmon inside free regulated india, surely its easy to find this 515m figure based on data - nt like your gonna run into constant illegal fake propaganda sources or even illegal bookies and thr claims

@jnaveen1980 im a journalist (as you know), i dont do copy and paste

that is just a picture with numbers, cmon man, im asking for data

you do because you stated some fake numbers for pakistan and uae, how would your eyes acknowledge what is deemed as a bouncy pitch, considering you provided those fake numbers - which means thrs a certain point which is deemd as pitch has bounce in it

if thr s a certain height and the ball is 1cm under it - your eyes wont always pick this up,

hence we use proper data shown by crediable data analysts, from a camera which has been checked

not like in india where your speed guns are cheap and crap - shows fake data - i.e sharma bowling at 95mph = do you remember that, typical indian

look at above post, ive clearly asked for proper data - bold part


I dont want a picture, i wat to seel the whole data, whch includes howthey have measured the bounce and which technologies have been used and has it been consistant througout measuring the same in other countries


SHOW ME THAT REPORT

IPL is rubbish. That's a fact.

All a result of 'Impotent Rage' as brother @uppercut puts it.


These new gen Pakistani fans used to have some or the other lollypop to suck on like "Aane do series, Afridi ke 2 chakkey, CT final, 152-0 etc etc) but ever since 2022, they have been getting humiliated left right and centre having lost 9 consecutive games against India. They have nothing left to fall back on while their inferiority stares at them right in the face resulting in all these clowns posting khayaali pulaos rather than well thought out posts.

It's actually sad if you think a little about it.

just list me the good points

 

[aarizzler720]

It is very hard to put a number in India given the number of grounds they have. And each ground have different soil pitches.. Wankhede, Dharamsala, Punjab pitch , Chennai are bouncier. Depending on red soil or black soil or mixed soil bounce varies.

yeah but they do use red soil pitches I've heard so they do generate more bounce, I've heard that Wankhade , Ahmedabad have bounce because of red soil, it actually helps pacers like Jasprit Bumrah, actually I've done some research and here how it helps him:

1. The Geometry (New Ball): His hyper-extension and wide release create a sharp inward angle. By targeting the stumps, he makes the batter play. If it swings or angles in, he gets the Bowled or LBW. If the batter tries to play straight, the angle takes the outside edge to the slips or the inside edge to short-leg.
2. The Physics (The "Steep" Factor): On that firm Red Soil (Wankhede/Ahmedabad), his backspin makes the ball "bite" and rise at a steeper angle. The batter expects the ball at their waist, but it hits the shoulder of the bat or the gloves. This "extra bounce" is what makes a "flat" pitch dangerous.
3. The Geology (Day 3–5): Once the sun opens the cracks, he becomes a lottery. A ball from the same spot can either "shoot" (stay low) or "explode" (rear up). Since the batter is already worried about his 145km/h pace and inward angle, they have zero time to adjust to a change in height.

so this concludes that some like Punjab, Wankhade, Ahmedabad because of red soil geerate true bounce, on black soil, ball at where the pitch where is too full to pull, but still short enough to drive, this is why someone like mcgrath was successful, bowled at a fifth stump line, and the ball nipped back into the off stump

I remember a few teams India getting bowled out under 100 on a few occasions over the last 30 yeasr on day 1 pitch.

I can't say for everyone. But in Bengaluru it is going to be a full house tomorrow for csk vs rcb.

All of us, drinking beer with Chennai fans on the same pub.

It gets pretty heated towards the end.

IPL is more of a festival in large parts of India.

And I don't expect you to understand or even care.
But to Indians, it is pretty good exciting ecosystem.

BCCI has cracked the code and ipl is a ecosystem now.

They don't have the WTC becasue they are'nt the best test team for a while, but they are the best t20I team,a nd no one gets close, and probably the best ODI team, with only aus, sa and nz giving comeptition

Have you ever seen Bangladeshi working in an IT firm? or holding a high position anywhere? So it is a bit unfair to expect them to nitti gritties of these stats. I wouldn't have brought this up but for their arrogance.

Could be cricket over load for Indian fans due to India winning the wc.

Had India lost the wc pretty badly, Indians would have been more enthusiastic about ipl. As a coping mechanism.


After wc, ipl does feel like a overload.

Still, People in India are still buying tickets to watch the matches.

In bangalore, tickets gets bought out within an hour. So the demand is still there.

 

[OldWarHorse]

IPL usually takes a while to get going because of how long it is.

Teams try out combinations as they always have a chance to make a comeback once they get that figured out. Peaking at the correct time matters a lot

t

I remember a few teams India getting bowled out under 100 on a few occasions over the last 30 yeasr on day 1 pitch.

I remember SA being bowled out on Day 1 pitch in 2025 series 1st Test, with bumrah taking 5/27 in 14 overs and india getting bowled out on 46, with some amazing bowling in overcast conditions by matt henry and O'Rouke, in maybe last two years maybe under 100, if that's what you mean, overall india is a difficult place for pacers, but on red soil someone like bumrah, or mcgrath with his height got bounce, bumrah's angle actually makes the inswinger dangeous since he targets at the stumps, his bounce creates edges, and his reverse swing is amazing with the old ball, not to mention when cracks appear he hits those or any other pacers and that amkes diificult to drive and pull in india, on black soil, his deliversies that skid on are dangerous and his action even makes it more difficult becasue of less reaction tiem to defend or play an already delivery which is kept low, mcgrath did the same, also he relentessly targeted that fifth stump line and his deleiveries that nipped back in created edges and bowled combined with his bounce due to height and good length deliveries, soemoen like benaud, and steyn did the same used conventional late swing with his pace, and used reverse swing plus pacy yorkers whichw ere difficult and him and donald with their skidding deleiveries rtoo were a nightmare, best thing about bumrah is that his skidding delieries, plus his bounce, reverse swing and seam makes him the most successfuk out of the 4 in india, because he uses all these tactics combined

Cummins and Klassen are local stars replacing Warner these days. The fans religiously follow their favorite teams games while interest will be lower for others. CSK vs RCB clash goes more than inside the field with some crazy banters.

Dhoni is just playing for the star power and he has the most loyal fan-base in the one of the best franchise CSK.

I will not support Rahane playing, but most of the IPL franchises are led by youngsters like Shreyas Iyer, Axar, Ruturaj, Isham etc who will get into most of the International sides on their own.

Compare that to Labu, Rizwan, Babar, Shadab etc

They cant even get into any T20 international side and they are captains??

You asked me a exciting points of this IPL and I gave you the example of yesterday's game which you have not been able to comprehend despite being a "Journalist"..

Im not allow to comment on duuuuuuuuuuuuh people and list them in my journalist papers - thats a very low bar


cmon man just list the examples - whats been great in this IPL so far

Shami is 35 yrs old and still 2X the bowler Shaheen or any premium phaast bowlers in Pakistan ever will be. He can rip apart teams on his own but injuries are his concern given his age.

Dhoni is just playing for the star power and he has the most loyal fan-base in the one of the best franchise CSK.

I will not support Rahane playing, but most of the IPL franchises are led by youngsters like Shreyas Iyer, Axar, Ruturaj, Isham etc who will get into most of the International sides on their own.

Compare that to Labu, Rizwan, Babar, Shadab etc
I mean seriously??

They cant even get into any T20 international side and they are captains??

And we are talking about competitiveness

Shami won a Champions Trophy 12 months ago.

These Pak fans think he's old and mediocre while their minnow team hasn't even won an Asia Cup since 2017. And Rahane would probably have become a T20 legend if he was a Pakistani looking at the way these guys treat tuk tuk Babar and keep on giving him T20 world cup spots.

As I said earlier...there's no cure for delusion and impotent rage born out of massive inferiority complex.

Shami just dismantled a batting heavy team in Hyderabad with a spell of 4 overs 9 runs 2 wickets.

It's only his injury history that makes selectors not want to pick him for India otherwise he was the best bowler for India in the 2023 world cup

Among the world cup squad how many pakistan players would walk into top 5 teams? Nobody. They are having a league between such guys and the other rejects from other countries, retirees on terrible low bounce pitches. It is funny to mock any league not just IPL from that position.

can you please prove this ?

i bet you cant, for obvious reasons

Rahane strike rate in domestic is over 165 last couple of years. And he has been leading scorer. He probably can't match the abhisheks and other modern youngsters. Just put him on a bounciest wicket alongwith Pakistan batsmen lol He will show the aukat of the entire pakistani line up.

Emotional snowflakes on this thread are missing a key point that geriatrics like Dhoni are oddities in the IPL while in the PSL, they're the norm.

PSL teams are filled with geriatrics and mediocrities.

Imagine Labuschagne as a franchise captain Lmaoo.

Shami is not picked becaues he frequently takes rest between innings. But in a 4 over affair he can have days like this easily. GOAT ODI world cup bowler.

Rahane, Shami, Dhoni and 40 year old has beens are playing the so called most competitive league in the world saar @Devadwal @Rajdeep

Rahane would be Pakistan's best batsman even now.
