T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[JSRAW]

Yash Dayal of Gujarat Titans, who was hit for 5 consecutive sixes by Rinku Sigh came up with this controversial Instagram status yesterday:

A few hours later, he came up with an apology:

Some time later, he again claimed that his Instagram account got hacked and someone else posted the story. His version of events doesn't add up unfortunately. In all probability, he will be suspended by GT for next season.

I was trying to avoid responding in this matter but i noticed few responses with political correctness which is very convenient approach, also saw the guys preaching and acting morally superior who literally believe that women and kafirs are second-class citizens in their respective countries or neibhourhood.

In the last 4-5 years there are almost 50+ of these types of cases happened in Delhi-NCR +UP only. Remember the guy who chopped off his gf and stacked her body parts in the freezer? or the recent one where an underage girl was stabbed 21 times and then her head was smashed by stone multiple times, it was caught on camera.

I agree on the only thing that if you don't have backbone then you should avoid this sort of thing and even if you do ffs avoid acting like an ignorant individual because it plays into Islamist's hands and Islamist lobbies are like zombies, they feed on it and pampered by almost everyone due to their street power which is based on pure violence and hate against everything including life or modern civilization for that matter. We saw what happened to Salman Rushdie and during the Nupur Sharma controversy. 

Fuck the political correctness and fuck these Islamists.

The question is - are IPL players allowed to make such posts? Because if one player makes such a post favoring one side of the political spectrum, then sometime later another player may make a post opposing it. For example, if some of the players make a post on Kashmir as a response to Yash Dayal's post how can anyone oppose it? The best thing to do would be to prohibit active players from getting involved in this sort of politics (I think the clauses in IPL does that). On my part, I am completely against any involvement of politics in cricket. And that is why I condemned the Indian team when Hardik Pandya convinced them to take a knee to support the BLM movement (during the T20 World Cup in 2021).

In my personal opinion, this year's IPL was much less crowded than the previous seasons. The previous season's matches were really competitive but this season's matches were somehow flawed. And the final match was hampered by early rain. Later on the reserve day also did not end up completing the entire game brilliantly.

I think the popularity of IPL has decreased compared to the previous seasons. The number of teams increased this season. And the IPL has been held for a long time. This is probably the reason why the popularity of IPL has decreased relatively. Still, the most popular franchise league in the world is IPL. Moreover, the matches this season were somewhat less competitive. Most of the matches were one sided. This is why IPL has lost some popularity.

First of all @Sithara007 the situation in Kashmir is far better now than what it used to be with article 370. Last year I went for a holiday there and things are developing positively in that region. I don't think any Indian player from that region  or any other state would post bad things about Kashmir.

@JSRAW bro chill! India and Indians have changed a lot after 2014. We are aware of what is happening and our government is taking care of those issues that were left idle before 2014. Chill down and try to focus on the topic for which this thread has been created. There are many good things happening around T20. We need to discuss about them and not about a one of rogue issue.

There is Africa Continental T20 cup going on in Kenya. Four teams are participating in this Cup which are Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and Botawa. After a long time I am seeing Kenya playing some international tournament.
Today there is 3rd T20I going on between  Rawanda and Botawa. Botawa playing first have given a target of 170 runs and they lost only 2 wickets. Karabo Motlhanka the captain was top scorer with 75(59). Rawanda are going good so far in run chase, scored 35 runs in 3 overs.

In the post he posted, Muslims are directly belittled. No religion teaches to belittle other religions. He is a future star of Indian cricket never expected such a post from him. When he posted after posting everyone criticized him a lot for this post he later said his account was hacked but within moments how he got back the hacked account. I think since he is a cricketer his limit should be within cricket. He has very little knowledge about religion so he posts like this. One can never highlight one's own religion by downplaying other's religion. He must be suspended for what he did.

Words and action doesn't add up. Humans make mistakes. It takes a lot of courage to say "sorry". In this case, if he had apologized, then the matter would have been closed. But he became over-smart. At first he put a status claiming that it was a genuine mistake and he is sorry for that. Then probably his lawyer or legal adviser asked him to claim that his account was hacked. And within 5 minutes or so, he retracted his apology, and claimed that he did nothing wrong. I don't know whether anyone is stupid enough to say whatever lies coming out of his mouth. I don't expect any action from GT. The BCCI should suspend him for a couple of years from the IPL and domestic cricket.

First of all, such a status is never expected from a cricketer like him as he has made mistakes and understood mistakes, so if he had admitted his mistakes and apologized to everyone instead of telling false stories, maybe there would not have been so much criticism on this issue. But he has resorted to several lies based on this post of his. 
After reading people's criticism first he talks about account being hacked then he apologizes to everyone but again he thinks his actions are right I don't understand why he thought he gave such a status.
With the suspension from IPL, I hope BCCI will take some more steps against him.

This social media hacks and status shouldn't be taken that seriously as there is high chances of accounts being hacked or misused by anyone .
Now in today's world word from anyone's mouth directly should be given importance and actions should be taken on them because that's the actual and real thing that happens.
Instagram status If uploaded by him also have no significance importance as he can deny it easily which is the actual case .

It is not very difficult to deny doing something but denying doing something does not prove that he did not do it. If his instagram account was hacked then there is no chance of getting his account back so fast. Then he apologized for his post why apologize if he did not commit a crime. After expressing his regret, he reiterated that he had not done anything wrong, so it is understood that he uploaded the pictures intentionally. Man commits a wrong act and admits wrong after doing some act but he has not done any thing.

The target was very low from Rwanda. I am actually a little surprised that they had to play the horn 20 overs to get only 66 Runs and they also lost 10 wickets in process of that. But I think it is actually a bowling pitch because Botawa he’s also not being able to score freely at all.

They are currently chasing and they have scored 36 runs in 14 overs. they have lost three wickets so far. They need 31 runs from 36 balls. This is obviously going to require more than double of the run rate that they are scoring on right now. The good thing is they still have seven wickets in hand. This should be achievable in my opinion.

This discussion of status is getting ugly and is ruining the purpose of this thread,  it's about cricket and sport and its updates.
These discussions should not be dragged alot as they only create rift and misunderstandings among members.  And the purpose is no fulfilled so ignore these kinds of posts and share things about t20 format and cricket.

In today's T20 International SRL match, there was one match that I thought was very interesting and for sure both teams will play very well later.
The match was between India SRL against Australia SRL and the two teams have proven to have nearly the same strength.
If predicting now it might be a little difficult but later after the match has started and has been running for some time I will make predictions to choose who deserves to win and be at stake.

But actually my little heart said that I had to choose India SRL to be the winner.

Here I want to say we need to avoid things like these and good thing happen after post he posts to apologizes which is good even for me, he still deserves punishment because he is celebrity, and he needs to do things carefully with in our society it's usual business for the many peoples those are having links in political parties they mostly try to create mess-up with now hate is almost at his top level in communities, and it's not going end or decline even we are doing good things for the bright future.

I personally never like politics into sports, but now we can't avoid this all as it's part of life for many with different views and mentality is also creating problems, but still need to avoid violence and related literary about this all for good.

The IPL is a bit less crowded this season than the previous times. Because some star players were present in the league this season. Indeed we missed Chris Gayle tremendously in IPL.

[speeder]

Especially Jadeja played the most role in this final match as he was an old experienced player. Due to which he managed to score ten runs in two balls and in the last moment of the match the entire gallery audience was surprised and they thought that Gujarat would win. But this dream of Gujarat was broken by the last two balls and Chennai collected the IPL cup for the fifth time.
I heard in a news media that this was the last match in Dhoni career.  Because of his age, his followers believed that this IPL season was the last win of his career. But Mahindra Dhoni said that I want to play another match because of the love of the audience. There are few experienced all-rounders like Dhoni so he would like to use his intelligence and get another IPL season in his career.

After scoring big target Gujarat were in good position but CSK which was chasing this have good start and then good hitting from their batsmen in middle overs also help them for having this target and trophy as well Jadeja done his work on right time for his captain with this all things were favoring Dhoni and his team for the fifth title.
With mostly are feeling Dhoni play his last match already for the CSK and most chances now in coming season he could be joined this team as mentor because CSK wants to keep him for better results and motivation of their new generation players which will give them good confidence which helps for having positive results as well now IPL surely needs player like Dhoni for some more time because his presence could be having good impact for the fans as well which is important for the IPL as well.

Even if MS Dhoni does not provide too much value with the bat he is still one of the best wicketkeepers in the whole world.
Of course, he is still the best captain in my opinion. He can create a winning situation in a match for his team from a situation that does not look like anything winnable.
It would be better if he played in the IPL next season, in my opinion.

I don't see his performance dropping at all.
If anything his hands behind the stumps have actually gotten quicker. He is one captain that any team would like to have.

Agreed, his fast move behind the stumps can't be done by any of the wicketkeeper. Even in the final against Gujarat Titans he's the game changer taking the wicket of Shubman Gill in no time. It was when he started to take off. In some way his contribution to the team can be seen. I prefer him to announce retirement from IPL, because he announced his exit in all formats of cricket at the right time. With IPL making an announcement along with the win will give him more proud.

His performance doesn't lack, but through some means one can surely feel the age making difference within himself.

You are right as a legendary cricketer he has enough reputation in the cricket arena. Some players try to perform well before retirement that means they try to show a good ending. But the Dhoni doesn't need anything like that. Because he has many good matches in his cricket career. It will be definitely a good decision to go for retirement at the right time. But I am not sure whether he will play in the next match session of IPL or not. Above all, as a cricket fan, I am looking forward to his one more match of IPL session.

As a Dhani fan, I can only hope for the next IPL. I think it's not important for a player with a reputation like Dhani to play this game. His advice is the key to winning the match. All players want to do well in their later years and gain fame.  But in Dhoni's case, he doesn't have to work hard for his reputation at this late stage. I think the reputation Dhoni has earned so far will never be erased from the pages of history

Anyone who is supporting him in this better stop. Because this was certainly a very international post by him, doesn’t matter what he says. We all know about how Muslims are treated by India and also in India they often force Muslim people to say “jay sree ram” and if Muslims do not say it, they actually torture the Muslims, and even after saying that the Muslims do not get away because they end up murdering Muslims. India is always trying to be the best people in the world, but their action says otherwise. And this guy is nothing different. He has pure hatred towards Muslims and Islam and that’s exactly what was shown by that post.

That is a broader statement because i am also from India from the Southern most part and there is no issue we are facing like you mentioned and more over there is not much right wing influence in my part of the world. I am aware of the propaganda that is been brewed by the BJP government and there is attack on people of other religion in the Northern part of India but to say that these are taking place everywhere is not true.

Kenya team was once in good position, now they're slowly building up. Went through the scorecard of the match between Kenya and Uganda. Kenya have played well scoring 185/3 and Uganda were all out for 97 runs. The astonishing thing that I came across, Kenya have got five players who have names of Indian origin. Earlier in the old teams there weren't any such players. So checked with the web and everyone were born in Kenya. The names are Rushab Patel, Rakep Patel, Sukhdeep Singh, Sachin Bhudia, Vraj Patel.

Kenya is one of the African continent team which have good domestic talent but due to some political reasons and lack of funds give them setbacks with they have the best record as they were in semifinal of the ODI World Cup 2003 in South Africa which is surely amazing for any Associate country, but things were gone wrong for them and after this we lost this amazing talent and good African cricket team which is now trying their best for the better performance with limited sources because ICC is never been interested to help these countries for the improvement of their domestic system and cricket.

Now, again after long time we have good performance from them which is good sign, hopefully things will be positive as many countries are giving their best i shorter format which is surely best for them and game as well.

I actually forgot when was the last time I saw Kenya play in international cricket. The last time I can remember watching Kenya was probably towards 2007 when they were playing against Bangladesh. After that, I don't remember watching Kenya play in international cricket. Finally, it is actually good to see them performing well and making some noise. I hope they will be able to perform better again and maybe find themselves in the top 10.

In cricket, nothing can be more tragic than what happened to Kenya. They surprised everyone by reaching the semi-finals of the 2003 World Cup. And before that they had managed upsets against big teams such as India and West Indies. They were expecting a big rise in fund allocation and support from the ICC after their performance in 2003. But this was when Srinivasan-Pawar criminal mafia took over world cricket. For the next 3-4 years, Kenya hardly played any matches against the full members and their fund allocation was almost reduced to zero. In the end, the main players retired and they could not be replaced by the younger ones. Within a few years, the team simply disappeared.

Pakistan A Women VS Nepal Women

I checked the T20 match result between the Pakistan A women's team vs Nepal women's team. Pakistan A women's team players lost 10 wickets and set a target of just 88 runs. Opener Shawaal Zulfiqar scored the highest 28 runs for Pakistan. He collected only 28 runs off 36 balls. However, the interesting thing is that the Nepal team could not win the match even after batting for only 88 runs. They were defeated by 9 runs.

In women's cricket, the performances of every team except Australia and England have been erratic. I thought India's women's team was very strong. But we don't see consistently good performances from the India women's team either. Women's cricket is not popular because most of the teams are weak.

I was also surprised after reading scorecard of both teams but now after checking details understand this is ACC Emerging Cup, so mostly women's are new and having no good experience which is the main reason for this low score match with Pakistan not have good structure for the women's which is a main reason for this low quality but still good fight from them and win against Nepal is good start for them.
 
In other match India won by nine wickets against Hong Kong as they bowled out them on score of 34 and then chase this without any trouble in 5.2 overs with the lost of one wicket we need more events like this in Asian region because now this is good for the improvement of quality and performance many countries are trying to adopt this format which is good for the game.
