One big reason is match ups don't work with Indian batsmen mixing with foreigners. So you cannot tie foreign players with spin. So teams are out of options. Earlier Indians were not thiss aggressive against spin even in power play. Nowadays Indians destroy spinners ,mystery spinners. (Just youngsters oldies still struggle agianst spin).
 
I think still the team managements are not utilizing the bowlers well, there's no planning... Impact rule is not helping teams coming up with balanced sides! They are stacking extra batsmen...

Good bowlers Nortje, Starc, Rabada are getting thrashed. No matter what the pitch is , you still need skill to thrash bowlers for sixes. Not everyone is doing it.
 
Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians, 43rd Match:
Mumbai Indians have won the toss and have opted to field

Teams:

Delhi Capitals
(Playing XI): Jake Fraser-McGurk, Kumar Kushagra, Shai Hope, Rishabh Pant(w/c), Tristan Stubbs, Abishek Porel, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Lizaad Williams, Mukesh Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed

Mumbai Indians (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan(w), Tilak Varma, Nehal Wadhera, Hardik Pandya(c), Tim David, Mohammad Nabi, Piyush Chawla, Luke Wood, Jasprit Bumrah, Nuwan Thushara
 
Fraser-McGurk has something about him.

Has a little bit of Shahid Afridi in him as he just sees it and hits it. Full swing of the bat and fearless stroke play.
 
Jake Fraser mcgurk is making mockery of cricket and the guy who is batting with him is making mockery of himself.

Why do these batsmen even play T20 cricket.
 
If McGurk and Head are opening for Australia, then we need someone to go and tear away the passports of our current openers.
 
Pandya the cricketer is finished, courtesty this IPL season! He already had fitness issues which used to keep him away, now he has lost everything...
 
This aggression will potentially spill over into world T20. Teams will keep goign for 20 overs. If two guys click game over for opposition.

West Indies (even USA/Canada - as we saw in Sahara cup) is the hardest place for out and out attack game... You will need measured approach... 160 will be par score there... If you attempt for 200, you will be all out below 100

England smashed 267 , 222 in december in West Indies. Phil salt made two centuries
 
That was good over. Consistently around 148 kph. He swung, He also created angle. Batsmen will take a while to get used to him
 
Rohit has flopped badly for MI. I will pick Abhishek Sharma over him any day.
If BCCI doesn't select a fully young T20 team for world cup, I will forever believe that they are running their cricket solely for "MONEY"... Fans should wake up and boycott the tournament! We won inaugaral T20 world cup only because all the seniors (including Sehwag in finals) made way for a complete young team! Sachin & co were gracious enough to accept that this format is only for youngsters... If seniors don't make up their mind, BCCI should show them the way (I guess BCCI would have kept quite had Sachin & co continued to feature even in T20s those days!) This is one of the biggest difference between Kohli & Sachin (the stubborn nature!) We will never win any ICC tournaments with this kind of attitude...
 
Delhi Capitals (257/4) defeat Mumbai Indians (247/9) by 10 runs in IPL 2024 match
 
Sandeep sharma dismsisal of Stoinis reminds me of his dismsisal of Babar Azam in the u19 world cup. Similar inswinging delivery. Babar beaten all ends up
 
Lucknow seems to be much feasible venue for bowlers... 200 not yet registered here!
 
Our season is over.

Coaching staff needs a overhaul. Boucher and his assistants have failed. Either bring back Mahela or someone new.

Players are fine but spin bowling needs serious reinforcement.

The captaincy issue has clearly effected the team. Rohit was a primadonna who still thinks he is in his prime and the leader. If he had any issue with Hardik, he should have cleared it before IPL. His cold shoulder to Hardik was clearly visible in the initial games. Fans saw it and the booing was pathetic.

Rohit does not warrant a spot on Mumbai Indians squad let alone captaining the Indian T20 squad. Total clown show for MI. A gun team that is playing like a bottom feeder.
 
MI management were confused... They thought Rohit is getting old and so they tried to steal Pandya from GT and make necessary improvements. It backfired... And now GT is in a better position than MI in spite of losing Pandya... Pandya the player is finished now... MI may make better assessment next season trying newer team/captain. Pandya is the scapegoat here (One of the rear bread - Pace bowling alrounder - where Pandya was successful to some degree - has been killed here - for Money/Economics/Greed aspect of IPL)

I don't think he is finished. He needs a break. External elements have clearly impacted his mind and performances. He was also scammed by his cousin which made him lose all his wealth. It seems he approached Nita Ambani for support and she put a condition on him to come to MI and lead the team. Rohit obviously did not like it. Even the likes of Bumrah and SKY did not like it as they believed they deserve to take the leadership role after Rohit.

Overall a total clown show for MI.
 
Chahal even though among the wickets is not good enough to fox the good batsmen. He will bowls wide and defensive to good batsmen but can't outsmart them.On top of it he goes runs and can't contribute in any other field.He never appears to be on song like kuldeep.

Chahal is useless. An average league who gets wickets when batsmen go after him. He is also expensive and wilts away like a precious flower when batsmen go after him. We have seen enough of him.

He does not offer anything with the bat and he is also a mediocre fielder.

If he gets selected and plays in the final XI, he will make the tail longer. None of Indian bowlers can bat. This has been an issue for more than a decade now.

drs referral for wides & no ball is ridiculous
It's good actually.. too many times wrong call has big impact on match results.. but umpires should be consistent.. sometimes 3rd umpire give wides when ball past below bat (dhoni's case) and sometimes they don't give wides even ball is not reachable..

not when we are having 4 hour games ....
 
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (206/1; W Jacks 100*, V Kohli 70*) beat Gujarat Titans (200/3) by 9 wickets in an IPL 2024 match
 
Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, 46th Match

Sunrisers Hyderabad opt to bowl

Chennai Super Kings (Playing XI): Ajinkya Rahane, Ruturaj Gaikwad(c), Daryl Mitchell, Moeen Ali, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni(w), Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, Mustafizur Rahman, Matheesha Pathirana

Sunrisers Hyderabad (Playing XI): Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen(w), Nitish Reddy, Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmed, Pat Cummins(c), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jaydev Unadkat, T Natarajan
 
I switched channels to watch NL Derby.

Will Jacks absolutely tore the house down in 45 minutes

He should open. Kohli and Faf Frauding around as openers
 
IPL has evolved or modernise cricket to another level atm it's between baseball and circus, surely ODIs have no future Test cricket is already dead , not long before this absurd impact rule is introduced in International T20s
 
It’s the overseas players

The Indian batsmen have been ok, not extraordinary
Only Abhishek was matching the hitting ability of overseas players.

You are absolutely correct that overseas players are striking at 250 in their match winning innings. Indian players are very slow compared to them.
 
This year players appeal for wides are more successful than appeal for LBW. Incompetent local umpires.
 
In a tournament where bowlers are scared of bowling, many batsmen try to see off Pahitrana. They are borderline scared. THey don't even lift the bat aginst him unless it is death overs
