Mumbai Indians fans isn't happy with the decision either and they are showing it all over the social media. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.talkimg.com%2Fimages%2F2023%2F12%2F16%2FErdi8.png&t=665&c=iHEqOY-YlKtWug) Yesterday, it was 13.1M but now 12.8M and keep decreasing, but it will eventually fade away and myself surprised with the decision as well and how can team management replace the most successful captain who brought 5 IPL trophies, at least they should done it when they are on the high note. But from cricketing point of view it makes sense because they are looking long term captain and Hardik has been the captain for team India in this format, so MI took this into consideration and made this move. Fans will come back, this is momentary show of disappointment. Regarding change of captain, I'm hearing Hardik put demand that if they'd make him captain then only he will come back to MI, MI asked Rohit if he'd be willing to play under Hardik, he said yes. https://crictoday.com/cricket/news/hardik-pandya-agreed-to-return-to-mumbai-indians-after-owners-assured-him-of-change-in-captaincy-report/Said by 'report' so it may or may not be truth.

This said event happened when India was playing the 50 overs World Cup and Hardik was unfit to play due to his injury. While everyone was praying for him to get well and join the team, he was busy with his agenda. There is nothing to go after the money, fame, and position, what is wrong here is how he did all of it to get what he has achieved. If the MI team agreed to all his demands then they might have asked something from him in exchange. The bilateral ODI series between India and South Africa will start today under the captaincy of KL Rahul. He has been the captain of the Indian team in the past which did not work out well. If he can win this series then his prospects of becoming the permanent captain for the 50 format will be high.

What happened today with South Africa? They didn't even reach a respectable score while batting first. I heard the commentators saying that South Africans were unable to asses the condition and took the bad decision of batting first. Can you imagine a home team unable to asses home condition. What a kind of excuse is that? They should accept it that the Indian bowlers were bowling the best line and length. Arshdeep Singh was the star of today's match. 5 wickets with the best of economy rate, India won the match by losing only 2 wickets in the 17th over.

What a kind of excuse is that? Even if you fail to assess condition, you can't fail like this. This was surprisingly pathetic performance. Aside from that, good knock from Sai Sudarshan, always felt since his ipl days he's good odi player, good at rotating strike, not aggressive. They should accept it that the Indian bowlers were bowling the best line and length. Arshdeep Singh was the star of today's match. 5 wickets with the best of economy rate, India won the match by losing only 2 wickets in the 17th over.
I don't expect fifers every match, but he should be consistent in his performance.

Snip..
Sudarshan played really well, as a debutant he got his first 50 in International cricket. He was lucky too as in the early stage of the match he was actually LBW. The umpire said not out as he thought that the ball hit the bat. South African thought the ball might not be hitting the legs stump and did not ask for DRS. Turns out later that the ball was hitting the leg stump. Yeah, inconsistency has been an issue with Arshdeep Singh. He was bowling very bad in the T20 series, but today was his day. The most consistent bowler at the moment in the Indian team is Kuldeep Yadav. He has taken wickets in almost every game that he has played.

Early wicket might have put pressure on India and might have made game bit interesting, although highly unlikely it would have changed much.

The second ODI between India and South Africa starts in just a few hours from now. India are one up in the series due to the impressive bowling by Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan. Need to see whether they can repeat the same level of bowling today. Axar Patel will get included to the team as the pitch looks good for spinners. I guess Mukesh Kumar or Avesh Khan might go back to bench. If India wins today they will seal the series, which I doubt 🧐

Indian batting collapsed and bowling is ineffective because the total is too low to push the SA batting under pressure. SA opener Tony de Zorzi went unbeaten 119 and they chased it comfortably with 8 wickets But all the eyes were on IPL auction than the match, and as expected there is new record for most expensive purchase by KKR for Starc 24.75cr. Here is the list of sold players at the IPL Auction 2024Which teams bought the right picks, in your opinion? Mine, MI, CSK, SRH and KKR.

Some IPL franchises lose already at the auction table, RCB is one of them. What few star players can do for the whole team? Starc expensive af, but KKR team looks good to me, should hopefully qualify for play-offs at least.
CSK, MI, GT squads look op as usual, and one them will wins the finale. Lol.
CSK, MI were good at auction table.

Here is the list of sold players at the IPL Auction 2024Which teams bought the right picks, in your opinion? Mine, MI, CSK, SRH and KKR. Indian team batting only lasted because of Sai Sudarshan and KL Rahul otherwise a score of 211 would have been impossible to achieve. Sai Sudarshan again looked great and he got back-to-back 50 in this series. He is trying to get his name cemented in an already competitive batting order in the Indian team. Sanju Samson again failed and will fail because of his attitude as a batter. I don't understand why the selector even gives him an opportunity is it because of franchise pressure or does he have someone in the selection committee? As for IPL Bhumrah should have gone for the price of Starc, he is far better than the Australian. Just because they won the World Cup does not mean they are good bowler in the T20 format which is dominated by batters. There are three teams that I think are well-balanced and they are CSK, MI, and GT.

I skipped yesterday's match, knew India would lose and RSA would make a comeback. Watched the highlights now on hotstar. S. Sudarshan batted very well and so did the captain, back to back half century from the youngster. Another cricketer in the making, so many talents India has, still we didn't win the World Cup.
IPL auctions have always been controversial. The franchisee have always been crazy when auctions come up. I still remember Charu Sharma buying players for a franchise at a hefty amount in the first season and all those players were a flop. I don't remember the franchise for which he worked as a manager. If anyone remembers the name then do remind me.

CSK, MI were good at auction table.
KKR and SRH too got what they really wanted and all other teams were clueless and I don't really understand why teams went for the player who were released by them earlier and higher bids than their released price. GT squad packed with batting but their middle order is not going to be same as before, and I don't think they will be deadly as they were.

I dunno if KKR and SRH did well, they paid insane for Starc and Cummins, one player can't make the team win, no matter how good they may be. Delhi paid 7.2 crore for uncapped keeper batsman, Kumar Kushagra meanwhile international player like Salt went unsold, what teams were thinking? Why Delhi released him in first place? He played good in last ipl and is having good run right now in international cricket. Salt was confused no one picking him up, so was I. GT will definitely feel lack of Pandya in down order, but I think Azmat can fill that role to some extent, also price paid was bargain, imo.

Rumors are circulating that Mitchell Starc might miss IPL 24 due to his wife's pregnancy. Please do not fall for that news originating from a parody account on X.com. I was also surprised to hear this news as to why KKR will pay so much amount on a player who won't be available for the upcoming season of IPL. Later on, I found out the correct information here.

The series decider match will be played today. Can KL Rahul and his new team win the series? We need to wait for the game to get over to find out. I don't think any changes will be made to the current team. If the management does then it will be a few batters and a bowler. South Africa looks better as a team and they can win the series without any doubt. Snip.
That is 100 percent fake news as only those players are auctioned who confirm they would be free during the IPL schedule. Otherwise anyone can manipulate the franchise with such excuses.

India wins, this win can be attributed to Sanju's hundred otherwise India wouldn't have made 296 score, and possibly would have lost. Coetzee and Jansen would have added strength to SA, but they were rested to prepare for upcoming test series. Jansen's all rounding ability as we saw in wc and Coetzee always takes wickets. There were two changes on Indian side: Kuldeep, Ruturaj out and Washington Sundar, Rajat Patidar in respectively. They played their part well, I would say. Little innings from Patidar but confident shots, Sundar took 2 wickets and some runs at end.

Yesterday we saw the same kind of devotion by Sanju Samson and Arshdeep Singh that led India to victory and a win in the ODI series. I won't put Samson in the front seat he did what he was required to do to save himself from getting ignored by the selectors. This century might help him secure some merits in the eyes of Indian selectors. Arshdeep Singh has now regained his form which he had lost after the T20 World Cup. He was seen swinging the ball and bowling the perfect line and length. This could be a good sign for him before the selectors decide the team for next year's World Cup. A lot will depend now on the performance of these two in the IPL.

This century might help him secure some merits in the eyes of Indian selectors. Also, the actual reason is he played at his actual spot at No.3 but it is impossible to replace Virat so Sanju Samson has to adapt to play flexible at different positions since the availability of talents getting bigger and bigger so there won't be much of chances will be up to one individual and even if they do decent still it may not be enough in certain situation.

Sanju Samson played very good yesterday considering the batting and keeping he has been doing in the past. I mean playing one game when you get a century doesn't mean he is better than what he used to be earlier. . A small stint of getting a century won't help him as he is now outnumbered by others. In this case most of them in his position and if I think correctly he is eyeing the position of Kholi.
Can he overthrow Kholi and get cemented in that position? You would need much more to overcome the GOAT in ODI & Test cricket. I haven't seen anyone who could do better that Kholi in that position in both the format.
Considering T20 format he is still way behind then those youngsters. He is not just good for T20 as he takes time to come into the sense that he is playing a short format of cricket. I saw today a lot of article got published about his ability as a batter and how much he was suffering from depression. Thankfully, he is out of that mental issue

The amount of time and money he has spent in getting himself into the ODI squad or the T20 squad it was evident that those articles would come out. He got his first official century in an ODI in the last match against South Africa. Ishan Kishan, SKY, and Samson all of the three debuted in 2021, look at the stats of Ishan Kishan and then compare them with Sanju Samson's stats. He debuted long back in 2015 in the T20 format with a ton after that he has been out of touch in both ODI and T20 formats. He has been unable to cement his position in the Indian team because of his performance with the bat. I guess this century would give him some confidence and will help him get himself into the probable list of players for India.
