MK55 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 What players are you guys excited about? Doesn’t matter if it’s their debut season or they have been playing the IPL for years but somehow something has clicked this year. Personally, it’s the batters that I’m exited about. Not a single bowler has been a breakout star. Ruturaj, Jaiswal are some talented guys that have played good knocks. Gaikwad has been one of the best timers of the ball at the top. Jaiswal is a good prospect too. Playing alongside Butler is terrific for him. Tilak has already played some decent knocks especially the one where he single handed got MI to a decent total when wickets were falling at the other end. Rinku has shown good composure at the end. Sharukh has got all the qualities to be a power hitter. In contrast bowling has been thoroughly disappointing. Not just that, I feel like our standards are lowering. Not a single new express bowler has emerged. It was Umran a couple of seasons back. I thought we’d unearth at least one such new bowler. W need a couple of such guys minimum in the squad. Only bowler that I’ve been hearing a lot is Tyagi. So I’m looking forward to see his progress at some stage. Nor has there been any 6’4 or above guy who bowls upwards of 90 mph. Even guys that are in national side haven’t set the stage so far. One exception is Siraj. Things finally appear to be changing for him in the IPL. His rhythm and bowling smartness have been impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibarn Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 The trio of: Ruturaj, Gill, and Jaiswal As of now, I think Team India needs to pick all three for the national side, with 2 of the three opening for India and the other the backup opener tweaker, Mariyam, sorak and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He opens with Gaikwad. Jaiswal, Shaw and Tilak to fight it out for the one down position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaiswal is a proper opener so if not in T20's then he should atleast debut in Tests. Mariyam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harshit Rana from KKR another 6 feet plus guy who bowls 140-145, yet to play this season. MK55 and Tibarn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singhvivek141 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Yashasvi Jaiswal, big fan of him and he hasn't disappointed yet. Siraj, has found the self confidence which was lacking all through the years....hope he maintains his steam in internationals and don't loose it. Ravi Bishnoi, can't say more...no matter how much you try to bring him down, he just marks his presence whenever and wherever he gets.

rkt.india Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 6 feet 4 bowling 90 mph plus is rare even in world cricket. 6'4 itself is a rare commodity in India then 90 mph bowler another rare commodity and combination of rarest of rare. deepdynamo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on that. Tyagi n Mohsin are close based of google. They can sustain 90 mph too I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikhil_cric Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Not gonna extrapolate to other formats but just sticking to T20s. Fast bowlers Not gonna go down that road. Some are overhyped, some are not durable, some have poor actions and some are just brainless. Or it's a combination of the above. I'll start believing in our pacers when I see something for a 3 year period. Allrounders Axar can almost play as a batting allrounder at this point. His lower order hitting has improved loads Spinners Bishnoi's accuracy has been Supreme. Nailing lines and lengths and bowling at good speeds. Quintessential T20 wrist spinner. He wasn't as good last year. Batsmen Iyer and Gaikwad as openers. Sanju in the middle order. SRK in the lower order as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He need to move out of SRH...MI needed a good Indian Pacer in absence of Bumrah but they wasted money on trundlers like Arshad Khan and Duan Jansen. LSG seems to be trying all pacers from their bench, so Tyagi could have given them a replacement for Awaste Khan (given Mohsin isn't gonna play). rollingstoned 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK55 Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 Starting to realize Jaiswal has got an obvious short ball problem. He needs to work that out. Every time I see him pull, he just seems super late on that ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK55 Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 Good knock by Samson. He really hasn’t got any technical weaknesses in his game. He just needs to be consistent. He’s that guy who score 60-70 at a good strike rate and then go out for single digit scores in the next 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BacktoCricaddict Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Ruturaj Gaikwad Yashasvi Jaiswal Tilak Verma Rinku Singh And perhaps V. Iyer? I know he was picked for T20Is, and it seems he's been unimpressive, but going back and looking at his stats (33+ avg, 162 SR), he probably deserves another look. Just hasn't had that signature knock in T20Is, but has only played 7 innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 When IPL was a kid, it used to excite me about new players (esp. many one-season wonders). Both IPL & I have grown up relatively speaking, in the 16th year now, therefore, a need to look at IPL from a mature perspective. IPL is: NOT about Team India (though various aspects related to Team India can be its byproducts). IPL is about IPL first. beyond a one-two-season wonder (experience has taught us that doing well in Indian conditions in a familiar environment does not equate to instant success against strong international teams esp. if playing outside Asia). In IPL, the roles of players can be totally different than if they were playing for a national team or even a different franchise. more about tracking the form of various players playing or expected to play for India in T20s and to a certain extent ODIs (as if a player does well in T20Is, he can get a slot in ODIs too). about identifying exceptional talent, which does not come often (a once-in-a-10-year kind of talent). An Umran Makik is a special talent. A Gill is a special talent. These players have to do well over a number of seasons. One inning or one season does not make a player good or bad. Based on the above, I like to follow the form of players (from a team India perspective) such as: Key regular players: Sir Don Pandya, SKY, Gill, & Bumrah (when fit) Players who are in a position to become more regular: Samson (WK & #3), Umran, etc. Players who have done well in multiple seasons in IPL and are good enough to play for India: Tewatia, Rituraj, Hooda (esp. if he can bowl a few overs), Tripathi, etc. Pace bowlers and quality spinners, who have played for India or can make a comeback or can be considered, like Siraj, Bishnoi, Kuldeep, Axar (currently, in a purple patch), Moshin, etc. Next year, there will be another IPL and we could have a new set of players doing well in that season. And so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vijy Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 haven't seen anyone that's stood out, but I like the little I saw of the young leggie suyash sarma so far. 19 is very young for a leggie, and he is already looking a decent t20 bet. needs to learn how to rip the leggie more to push for ODIs. batting - some of the young crowd are doing well, but are inconsistent. jaiswal has short ball problem, in tests, Gill should open on bouncy pitches, while jaiswal opens in SC and swinging pitches. pace - less said the better. bunch of tripe trundlers like harshal, mohit, etc Chakdephatte 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
