IPL 2023 XI ( Initial version)

Not going just by stats but players who have impressed me (for both tangibles and intangibles) and the ones that I like to watch too. Makes an interesting 11:

 

Buttler - overburdened at RR but still consistent enough. Will be the WK

 

Gill (or Rituraj if you prefer) - solid and calculated gameplay 

 

SDP - played a good inning in difficult conditions. Usually looks great at the crease, hitting a few good-looking shots, then tends to play a shot that goes straight to a fielder in attempting a 6 (eventually, that ball will find a gap or go over the ropes too). Brings in superb bowling and positive attacking captaincy. Invaluable as an overall package (It can be unidimensional to look at batting or bowling in isolation without considering the overall package and multi-dimensional impact)

 

SKY (or Samson if you prefer) - gets off the blocks quickly and hits the ball all around the park 

 

Rinku - to get the boundaries consistently 

 

Tewatia - for big hitting in the death overs 

 

Rashid - spin and innovative big hitting

 

Nortje (or Wood if you prefer) - express pace bowler slot 

 

Noor - an impressive wrist spinner


Shami - for PP bowling

 

Siraj - for bowling during most phases

 

Impact player: Dhoni - impressed with his fitness and keeping at this age, and can still walk in to smash the last few balls out of the park. Potentially in his last season so he pulls the crowd in even more

 

The above has 4 pacers (Shami, Siraj, Nortje, & SDP) and 2 wrist spinners (Rashid & Noor)

Top team. I’d go with pretty much the same team. With Butler as a back up for Faf and Nortje as a backup for Wood. And Gaikwad as a backup for Jaiswal.

An issue with such teams on paper is that they may look good on paper based on stats (individual level performances) but may not win the IPL. 
 

We assume that all franchises are equal and that any player taken from one and substituted in another will perform similarly.
