SK_IH Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Probable XIs based on auction : Delhi- Gautam Munro/Roy Pant Iyer Maxwell Vijay Shankar Abhishek Morris Rabada Mishra Shami Looks like a complete side with destructive batting and bowling with variety Kolkatta: Lynn Uthappa Shubhman Rana DK Russell Narine Nagarkoti Starc Mavi Kuldeep TBH they have invested too much on youth, could backfire.But bowling attack for eden conditions is quite exciting. Bangalore : Dekock Sundar Kohli AB Sarfaraz Degrandhomme Negi NCN Umesh Chahal Anirudh/Saini Looks a good squad, this will not be a easy side to beat. Punjab : Gayle/Finch KL Rahul Karun Yuvi Miller Stoinis/Akshdeep Akshdeep/Mujeeb Axar Ashwin Tye Mohit Punjab miss a stand out fast bowler ,dont know how successful tye woill be with his cutters at Mohali but seems like after long time Punjab will be one of contenders. Hyderabad: Warner Dhawan Williamson Pandey Sakib Hooda Saha Rashid Bhuvi Sandeep Thampi Looks like a really boring side with same old problem of over dependence on Warner.They have tried to beef up middle/lower order with Pandey,Sakib and Braithwaite but middle order lacks firepower,so once again totally dependent bowling. Mumbai : Ishan Kishan Evin lewis Rohit JP Duminy Krunal Hardik Pollard Cummins Sangwan Chahar/roy Bumrah They lack a outstanding spinner but have taken a punt on rookie chahar/ roy and akila ,who i think will play few matches.Overall ,this is a settled side, one of prime contenders but lack of quality spinners may be a issue. Chennai: Billings Watson Raina Jadhav Dhruv Dhoni Bravo Jaddu Bhajji/Asif Tahir D Chahar Same old same old.They have to play Billings,otherwise team lacks firepower.TBH looks an average side but has the bowling resources to master Chennai conditions. Rajasthan: Tripathi Rahane Smith Samson Buttler Stokes Archer Gowtham Gopal/Jalaj Dhawal Unadkat Good all round team,but their bowling can be taken apart , both stokes and archer have to play a key role if they want to do something in this tournament.They could have bought someone like Ferguson. ipl_16, asterix, zen and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someone Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 24 minutes ago, BeautifulGame said: He averaged 45 at a SR of of 135 in PSL.And the conditions in Dubai are pretty similar to IPL. Raina Faf Bravo Jadhav Bhajji can all tonk the ball big from get go.Watson can as well but that will depend on his form. You could check the stats from last season before replying . Raina, faf need their time. Bravo and Jadhav are lower positions and not in the top. And i dont rate them as explosive players either. Bravo used to, not anymore. And Lets not talk about bhajji and his battig. your top 4 is slow, and so you arent gonna get any fast starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBN Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I don't like some of the picks KXIP went after. That bowling attack esp the pace attack will need to perform be at its best. It's not what you call a bowling powerhouse Missing some exciting young talent esp locals. ICF will yield better starting lineups for many of the teams. Anyways, the biggest surprise was KXIP and RR spending all their spending purse From paupers to universe xi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can check 9 seasons of IPL , Matches for India and his recent form in SMA.Yeah Raina is big hitter from get go.And just for the fact Raina averaged 40 at a Strike rate of 145 in last IPL .Best average and Strike rate among all no.3 s Just because you don't rate don't change the facts. velu and The Dark Horse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you dont want to even bring up their recent stats? Do you know why Raina is not playing for India team? He is out of touch. Csk biggest problem is player X was good, but is it good anymore? So many such players. And its recent form that counts and they dont have many in form players. And also not have the batting firepower in top order. and 3rd reply on this single point. So not worth it to reply you again on this. Lets just agree to disagree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets just agree to disagree You said last season and Iast season IPL stats where he averaged 40+ with strike rate 145+ and the best no.3 in IPL.How recent a form you want ? His SMA stats from this year where he smacked a 50 ball 100 and had a great tournament.Or his India form in last 12 months recent? Where he scored 63 at a SR of 140 in only one of the 2 games he played ? There is nothing to agree to disagree there.You just were ignorant about Raina's form that's all.Raina is still the second best T20 batsman for India behind Kohli.

He is very underrated, and an absolute boon in Chennai conditions bowlers will be : Jadeja Bhajji/Karn Tahir/Santner Thakur/Wood At Home, they’ll likely play three spinners + thakur + bravo + Watson (if he is in the XI) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeautifulGame Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Have to say though we(CSK) did good in the auction ultimately ,that was by sheer luck.We were absolutely moronic is terms of bidding. Bidding for Chawla and Mohit fking Sharma (Can't thank Punjab enough for that ) only to be saved by RTMs.I didn't even understand Pujab strategy using RTM for Mohit but not Sandeep .Not complaining though.And then nearly bidding 11 crores for Unadkat . It was sheer luck that Wood ( and Vijay) was available till that late in the auction.Some messed up thinging today by Fleming and co. ipl_16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
