Who is this Naman guy? Looks like a good striker.

For a minute I thought Naman Ojha is back :D
 
Shastri mince no words about kicking out oldies lol HOpefully selectors and team management is on the same page. Can't carry the same oldies. I was so disappointed to see them include Rohit and made him captain.
 
Given the warning and high risk danger for women travelling to India I must say I am quite surprised to see these foreign cheerleaders in IPL, forget surprised I am downright shocked.

Surely, they must have some sort of security and restricted hotels similar to International teams travelling to Pakistan.
Salty post lol Cheerleaders have been around since the beginning of the IPL season 2008. NO incident reported. I am sure there won't be any security necessary.

India is a country of 1.5 billion people and women security in some remote places are an issue. However, women in India in general are much westernized and liberated compared to our western neighbour. Hence cheerleaders have always been consistent in IPL
 
IPL 2024 is a tournament where 9 teams are competing against each other as to who will lose against RCB in the finals

:vk :faf
 
How are they given T20 FC status because you are apparently playing with 12 players..
 
Even Rashid is struggling with dew. Ball is not releasing smoothly. It just sliips from his hand rather.

Selection should be based on merit.
 
Wow...what fireworks...feels like its a final.

Mumbai vs Gujarat - new el classico or what?

:inti
 
Mumbai Indians continued their tradition of losing their opening match in the IPL since 2012. In a thrilling match in Ahmedabad on Sunday, Gujarat Titans snatched an improbable six-run victory over Mumbai Indians. Despite a spirited performance by Mumbai Indians, they couldn't break the streak.

Jasprit Bumrah delivered a couple of terrific spells, showcasing his skill and experience. His bowling helped restrict Gujarat Titans to 168 for 6 in their 20 overs. However, Mumbai Indians lost their momentum after the dismissal of Rohit Sharma. Despite contributions from Dewald Brevis, who scored 46 runs, Mumbai Indians could only manage to reach 162 for 9 in their allotted 20 overs.

Dewald Brevis' crucial knock kept Mumbai Indians in the game, but the Gujarat Titans' pacers proved to be the difference-makers. With some disciplined bowling and timely wickets, the GT pacers managed to steal a win for the hosts, ensuring Mumbai Indians' losing streak in opening IPL matches continues.
 
Few verified Twitter accounts have posted that bumrah and rohit were making fun of pandya, after pandya had a discussion with rohit .seems we are going in pak 90's captaincy route.

Shikhar Dhawan looks way past his best, not sure a strike rate of 118-120 is good enough for IPL standards.

He was an Ex-Indian Star batsman and played for India for more than a decade. He had many great moments opening for India and has strong fan following. He is a Punjabi and would be a great mascot for Punjab Kings. He will play for another 2 or 3 years in IPL.
 
Yesterdays MI game was scripted . Surprised to see the burly Dayal clocking 140k's in the RCB game today !
 

PBKS vs RCB, 6th Match at Bengaluru, Mar 25 2024, Indian Premier League


INNINGS BREAK

Punjab Kings (20 ov) 176/6
 
Harshal Patel is trash. Who in their right mind pays 10 Crores for bowling medium pace hit me deliveries?

Now picks s lucky wicket.
 
Harpreet Brar is a tremendous spinner and a good hitter lower down. Should be in the Indian team soon. Better than Axar.
 
These Karthik's and Malik's of the world don't age, do they? Amazing fitness
 
Harhal Patel bowling length balls in 19th over. Punjab Kings deserves this humiliation for paying this dude 10 crores.
 
Really poor bowling by Harshal and Arshdeep. Pathetic to say the least. You don't let an old man Karthik destroy you like that.
 
Punjab Kings 176/6

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (19.2/20 ov, T:177) 178/6

RCB won by 4 wickets (with 4 balls remaining)
 
That was some poor death bowling by Punjab kings, no one consistently bowled full blooded yorkers on the off, middle stump or just outside off stump. Too much short predictable stuff. They should have successfully closed out the game once Kohli went.
 
Watching the IPL in detail for the first time since 2008.

The Stadiums the BCCI and the Franchises have in place are absolutely world class. The Franchises themselves truly own the stadiums and do everything in their power to drive their fans to the stadiums and fan parks. The quality of the sound systems is also second to none where you can hear the music inspite of 100k people in the stadium roaring.

Granted the female cheerleader's might be a problem for the PCB but they could look into it without offending local cultural sensitivities. Surely they can arrange for male break back dancers to entertain the crowd. The PCB and the PSL is stagnating and not doing enough to keep the crowd engaged and entertained. Granted the PCB and the PSL franchises will not have the Budget that the BCCI and the IPL Franchises have but surely they can arrange for some of these things within the budgets they have or find sponsors to fund some of these things.
