Stradlater Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Evenly matched teams, closed finishes, high quality cricket and less of SRK. This IPL season has everything which is expected from a league of such a stature. Young Indian batsmen topping the batting charts, emerging fast bowlers, good cricket all over. Man I'm lovin it!

sarcastic Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Yeah, perhaps. But wish MI did not have so many close matches going in the wrong way in the end.... Not good to digest the same pill again and again and again! maniac, Unstable Joe, Laaloo and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velu Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 most of the BBL matches are close games as well .. rarely team loses by more than 20 runs when chasing , so we always geta match till 19.4 overs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sourab10forever Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I think the auction was a great equilizer this time. All Teams are on par on paper. It's all about that one performance that shifts the game in your basket. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Accidentally ran into some video highlights of IPL games from 2008-2010.. Some very noticeable changes...  - Back then, every team pretty much had 1-2 absolute sh!t Indian players who were enormous liabilities, that is not the case anymore.. With 10+ years of T20 cricket, the talent pool or local T20 talent is now large enough to contain a critical mass of quality players to supply 8 IPL teams.  - Most teams also had a couple of big name international stars who were well past their prime (Remember 'ICON' player concept in the first year or so?). That too is gone, teams are picking smartly and not going after big name players or spending a large part of their purse on out and out fast bowlers..  The above two reasons - and others - is resulting in overall better quality of play.  rahulrulezz, philcric, flamy and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
