Texy Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 1 Playoff + 1 eliminator scheduled at Chepauk. Seems unfair to me if SRH reaches and can't play Perera & Sanga, Malinga for MI, Senanayeke for KKR, Mahela for DD, Murali for RCB. Doesn't affect CSK and has already been given the unfair advantage thru out IPL 6 as other teams playing at Chennai can't field these top SL players.
zubinpepsi Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 they will be shifted.. but the haters have to find some other reason now..
Detonator Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 KKR, DD, MI won't reach final 4, Murali doesn't even in playing XI now for RCB, only SRH will be afected bcoz of Perera.. Sanga dropped himself..
StriKe Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Yup..Should be shifted to Banglore/Eden/Mumbai or dharamsala :woot:
diga Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 IPL playoffs likely to shift out of Chennai The IPL is likely to shift the first two playoff matches out of Chennai, the venue listed in the original schedule. That decision is likely to be taken at the IPL Governing Council meeting in Chennai on April 22 in the wake of mounting pressure from various franchises, who are adamant that not having the option to pick their Sri Lankan players reduces their strength considerably at Chepauk. Under political pressure from the Tamil Nadu government to not allow Sri Lankan players to participate in the Chennai matches, the IPL had asked franchises to not include the 13 Sri Lankan players in the tournament. But with the close competition at the top of the table, BCCI officials have indicated to ESPNcricinfo that the IPL would need to change its original stance. "Irrespective of the teams who make it to the top four, the games will have to be shifted from Chennai due to their sheer importance. There are going to be at least two teams with Sri Lankan players who will make it to the last four. And it would be unjust on the teams to change their strategy due to a state government's decision," an Indian board official said. If the IPL takes the decision to shift the games then it also removes the bias element, as pointed out by certain franchises who feel the home advantage Super Kings have in the league phase is critical in a closely-fought tournament. It is also understood that security is not the stumbling block. The franchises continue to remain united and want the knockout matches moved out of Chennai. "You can't do that (stage the playoffs in Chennai). When it comes to the Eliminator I would be horrified if we end up playing in an environment where there is no level playing field. If there are grey areas then you need to move the venue so that the tournament is played at the same level by all teams," one of the franchise's coach said. According to him, a team could possibly bounce back during the league phase since there are 15 matches, but in the knockout phase there is not more than one chance. Hence the IPL does not "have to" but "must" move the games out of Chennai. "Chennai Super Kings as it is have a home advantage in the league matches with a strong line-up compared to some of the opposition, who at times have been forced to bench their Sri Lankan players, thus weakening their own strengths," the coach said.
superstar Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Likely candidates for playoffs - CSK, RR/KK11, RCB, SRH. None of them are going to be affected except SRH. SRH will not open its mouth. It will be a political disaster. I think they can have a backup venue like Bengaluru and use it if some other team enters play off. Will Pak players be allowed using the same formula next year? Play everywhere except Mumbai/Pune?
Ezilkannan Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 It should be shifted, then again, it should be in a neutral place. Not Mumbai/Bangalore if they make it to the top 4

The Outsider Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Madraas race has already made a joke of the tournament by modifying rules to disadvantage other teams. Might as well go [shastri] the full Monty [/shastri] and also move the finals and the other playoff to Chennai as well.

On the contrary the other teams could field Lankans for 15 games,but csk cannot try out Dhananjeya or Kula for even one match. Its a testimony to the champion spirit of the side that they've done so well despite being at such an obvious disadvantage:hatsoff:

BeautifulGame Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 It should be definitely be shifted.But only to Bangalore so that CSK fans can make it without much difficulty.
I6MTW Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 It should be definitely be shifted.But only to Bangalore so that CSK fans can make it without much difficulty. Kerala would be the perfect place. No cricket action there, and very near to TN. Best place to host the matches.
