rollingstoned Posted June 2, 2025 Posted June 2, 2025 (edited) Only 1 game left to go but IMO it's been a very enjoyable and high quality tournament. Yes there have been a few issues such as a general lack of fast bowlers like Umran and Mayank and the one week suspension did affect things but I think it will be remembered very fondly when we look back in a few yrs and not just because we will have a new winner. It helped that India won the CT going in so people didn't see it as a pointless distraction immediately after to take the mind off a tournament failure. If it ends up being Dhoni's last season then it will most certainly have even higher recall value because CSK games throught the country have been the most well attended ones.

Suhaan Posted June 2, 2025 Posted June 2, 2025 I really hope they put in more resources and atleast make first half of the IPL played on real bouncy pitches So that it nullified the trundler love which franchises have ,who are anyway dumped

In addition this has been a very close season re:qualification to the final 4. Everyone but CSK was within a shout. If only won last night it would turn out to be the best season ever rollingstoned 1

Nikhil_cric Posted June 2, 2025 Posted June 2, 2025 (edited) The quality of the season may or not be high. But why do we have such a ridiculously long cricket season in the first place? Finish the domestic season in 6, max. 7 months(including IPL) so that our players have time for recovery and work on their skills in the off season. This 10 month season BS needs to end.

singhvivek141 Posted June 2, 2025 Posted June 2, 2025 (edited) Lost track of IPL, post the Pahalgam incident. Wasnt even interested in watching games, never happened before , even now, Final is on Tuesday and I may not watch it. Maybe SRH flopping played a role. But for me personally, this IPL seemed quite long and boring. Edited June 2, 2025 by singhvivek141 Stan AF and rollingstoned 2

Chakdephatte Posted June 2, 2025 Posted June 2, 2025 It's been a 220 meets 200 season. Not among the best ones. We don't have mid scoring entertaining matches, too monotonous. Stan AF, New guy and Rondu 3

vvvslaxman Posted June 2, 2025 Posted June 2, 2025 I liked it because of the major auction. The sameness we used to see was not there. Every team looks different fundamentally. CSK team really brought down the quality of the tournament somewhat with their horrendous picks. Will give them a pass as they were putting up a dominating performance for so long. Hope they fix it. If they had won a few more extra matches table would have been far more interesting
The Realist Posted June 2, 2025 Posted June 2, 2025 Good in parts but goes on too long. Still too many oldies clinging on for dear life/money, ditto too many average overseas players and domestic bowling talent is pants.

Kohli, Ishant & Rohit may retire from IPL before him...Raina & Rayudu who were juniors to Shri 1008 Thala Maharaj have retired already. So does Shikhar Dhawan
vvvslaxman Posted June 3, 2025 Posted June 3, 2025 Loss of regular captains for two sides was a let down. Even Patidar was not captaining for a couple of matches. Never happened. This is where i hate impact sub rule. Captain was cooling off because he can't field. He came out to bat.
BacktoCricaddict Posted June 3, 2025 Posted June 3, 2025 First time I got fully into it during the league stage. Lost most interest when Pahalgam happened. Mariyam and rollingstoned 1 1
