tapandrun Posted May 4 Posted May 4 (edited) The real diff. in this season's new players have been how they all are playing for the team, trying to win it for the team. Prab may have scored 2 tons, Matre would have got his ton, Arya kept playing and hitting his shots when wkts were falling from other end keeping pressure on. Yes they are new and have no pressure of expectations, but when you look at some of the antics these senior players are doing by chasing some modest totals like what KL did it was like 160-170 total, kolhi vs pk it was 170-180 total to chase in Ipl they are celebrating like they have won the ICC wc or something, look at vaibhav he played what could be the best knock in IPL certainly best knock by Ind batter he just celebrates modestly and they tries to hit the next balls too. He could have took single doubles and still won it for the team. With those kind of celebrations from senior pro it looked like they want to stay in SM be the part of converstation that they too are playing and making impact-- Could be wrong here but it felt that way It just shows what these senior players have been blocking for years its not like there has been some major changes in the game, not new kind of bat or ball its just as teams are looking for future and these stars are going to go away in sometime unless they want to do something like dhoni , these newer batters are getting chances up top to play more balls more deliveries. Else in the past teams would structure teams around these star players and get some bits-pieces domestic fake allrounders and some batter to fill-up the gaps around these star batters and some os players.
