maniac Posted April 23, 2023 Author Posted April 23, 2023 Gaikwad is in form but I think he has some of the same issues as KL Rahul from what I am seeing @vvvslaxman better attitude but can also get stuck
maniac Posted April 23, 2023 Author Posted April 23, 2023 I thought weise was a trundler which he is but bowls 135k and has other skills like batting and fielding . Acceptable trundler
maniac Posted April 23, 2023 Author Posted April 23, 2023 Conway he is consistent in a good way opposite of Rahul, Kohli etc raki05 1
zen Posted April 23, 2023 Posted April 23, 2023 Suyesh is consistent with the ability to produce wicket taking balls every now and then!
raki05 Posted April 23, 2023 Posted April 23, 2023 This Suyash guy has mavi like action while delivering the ball.
zen Posted April 23, 2023 Posted April 23, 2023 Thakur remains dropped for some reason. Probably a better option than Khejroliya from what little I have seen of him (can give him a benefit of doubt. Maybe picked to bowl Yorkers at the death). Vaibhav Arora is another option.
zen Posted April 23, 2023 Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) With CSK, you don’t have to bother looking up for playing 11 as at this stage of the tournament the team usually is as Dhoni would say “unchanged (no change)” Edited April 23, 2023 by zen

Some of these guys - Ruturaj, Venkatesh Iyer, Jurel, Samson show a lot more intent than any Indian team regular. raki05 1

Stokes is inconsistent but tends to pick up his game at key stages. Dhoni may have overlooked that looking at his inconsistency.

Stokes is inconsistent but tends to pick up his game at key stages. Dhoni may have overlooked that looking at his inconsistency. I think he is injured. Stokes is a player you want in the x1 even if he is totally out of form.

He's not the player he was 3 years ago. Injuries and mental health issues have taken their toll.
zen Posted April 23, 2023 Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) At this point, the best chance to win the tournament (not necessarily playoff teams as any team from any tier can make the playoff): Tier 1: CSK & GT Tier 2: KKR, LSG, PK, & RR Tier 3: DC, MI, RCB, & SRH So if CSK and/or GT continue to play well, they have the best chance to lift the title if one or both make it to the playoffs!

maniac Posted April 23, 2023 Author Posted April 23, 2023 Conway, Ali, Theekshana, Pathirana are csk’s overseas players I believe. I think only Theekshana can be replaced by stokes as one would assume CSK has decent local spinners if required. Rest I feel pick themselves @zen
maniac Posted April 23, 2023 Author Posted April 23, 2023 Dubeji what a beastly hit lol. Power hitter :)

Rest I feel pick themselves @zen Yeah, it would be one of the two bowlers depending on Indian options (and how CSK uses impact player) and if Stokes is bowling well.
