@Mariyam why the laughing emoji?

 

 As usual my teams are at the top, your team is fighting for wooden spoon.

This year the good teams have moved to the top early. 

 

There is a clear gap between top half and bottom half.

Arshdeep is developing a wide bowling disease. Too many extra balls to bowl. 

 

He has lot of experience now. I expect him to be more economical and not give that big over so often.

2026 seems to be a deja vu of 2025. Shitty teams like DC, LSG and even MI doing badly is good for the league even if they bring down the quality of ipl

Except MI, I also think the other 3 make it.

 

MI seems lot of Individuals, but no team result.

Its between them and DC. MI’s firepower is too much to miss out.

 

Just need Bumrah to find form

Mumbai is not going to click as long as Pandya is the captain or in the team. It's like Mbappe in Real Madrid. Unreal talent, but team never plays as one when he is there.

Mi biggest mistake was bringing Hardik Pandya back from  Titans

When 6 out of 10 are 'your teams' some will be on top.

 

You sound like @maniac now. He bigs up every Indian talent and some of them click. That is followed by his customary " I told you so"

Hey I have 2 fav teams and 1 fav owner. That’s about it 

 

[jf1gp_1]

Have watched one full game, over or two of few along with handful of highlights. Such a boring tournament.

Will Mayank play tomorrow? "To play or not to play, that is the question" in the Hamlet of the IPL.

Rough data on top 10 six hitter in IPL this season , 2 uncapped Ind players, 1 Ind intnl having below 5 balls per 6, meaning atleast 1 six per over

Rajat is special in there yes he playing at a 6-hitting ground but he is doing it at #4 in middle over , iyer is good too.7 Ind players in top 10, out of which 5 are not even capped or in Ind side for sometime.

 

Need couple of domestic/Ind finisher then it will be great.

Warne...RIP Champ.

He was obnoxious and controversial, but his skill levels were just outstanding.
