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.

Iyer deserves to be in the team in place of SKY and Sooryavanshi deserves to be part of the setup.

Suddenly CSK in upper half of the table from bottom.

 

They have a chance now.

 

CSK, DC, SRH will fight it out for the 4th spot.

 

GT batting gives it no hope.

SRH

Coz Punjab beating all and sundry is a foregone conclusion. We don't bother with match threads for something which is already known 

 

Instead of Punjab match thread, we should open a poll thread asking "By how many runs or wkts will Punjab beat <insert opponent name>" 

[Lord]

Which idiot made the IPL schedule 

 

RCB v PBKs is on May 17th that too a day game

LSG truly deserves that bottom spot. Even with a good bowling attack, they cant bat to save their lives.

 

 

IPL is a batters show and they are lacking by a distance.

They should trade some of their indian bowlers for Indian batsmen,why hoard all the bowlers when your batsmen are ****?

[LordPrabhzy]

Will the high heatwave period impact the IPL?

[cricspirit]

DC all out for 75.

For a republic we sure are obsessed with royalty and Kings and nobility.

 

Punjab "Kings"

Chennai Super "Kings"

Rajasthan "Royals"

Kolkata "Knight" riders

 

Maybe at heart we are monarchists....

And yet all of them are better than Mumbai Indians. Like are the rest of the team from Nicaragua or something 

[Strangering]

Is it fair to assume that Bumrah is not bowling his peak deliveries in the IPL? 

 

Got beat black and blue against SRH

This IPL has proven it has made a difference for us. Till now there were questions around whether IPL has benefited Indian cricket. The recent WT20 where we fielded a team full of IPL performers (except SKY) and this IPL has answered the question. The pitches may be flat but scoring runs still needs talent and Indian batters are a cut above in the T20 format.
