India cricket Discussion and predictions [self-mod]

^^ yeah , time for split coaching GG for limited over & VVS for test or maybe someone , i think he is the one BCCI wants to takeover next.But since he now won t20wc can't see that happening , i guess maybe when we get another series sweep to Sri Lanka in test that might trigger his sacking from test.

Split captaincy won't be a bad idea atm considering new WTC cycle will kick in soon and but doubt it's going to happen as gauti did earn some brownie points by winning the trophy.

In regards to coaching, it could be anyone but surely need desi and not foreign coach.

First 20 matches of TATA IPL 2026, to be played from March 28 to April 12, 2026 , rest of the schedule should be announced soon as ECI announced Election date for upcoming state election in 4 state & 1 UT.

First thing I notice is RR again playing their home matches in Guwahati including season opener for them , Change the name already to Assam something if you keep want to do that ..just because owner belongs to Assam (BCCI Secretary is from there also) you keep moving home games , imagine glazers playing  Unired's home game somewhere in USA.If you want to play it another ground maybe play in Indore atleast it's neighbouring state.

Second , looks like Karnataka Govt finally back down & RCB will play their home games at chinnaswamy.

I read on cricbuzz that they will be playing 5 league games in Chinnaswamy stadium with one play off and the final while the remaining two home games will be in Raipur, not sure why the 2 games though.

This is probably the month with very less cricket action apart from winning T20 World Cup. Strange to go without any cricket for over a week.

^^ i think Raipur was in stand by for RCB games since Chinnasawmmy wasn't given permission to host them , now that they got their permission they hosting 2 matches to show some gattitude towards state asscosication probably.

it's good bro , 20 day break was nedded before IPL to build the hype & if you're missing cricket there is T20s series going on between NewZealand ans South Africa + some Legends league  still don't get why they play these & there is new one every month.

Arey last year finalist punjab aur rcb they na?

Phir yeh srh kahan se ghus ki opening match mein, inhone har season ka drama kar diya hai ab.

[vivekdhyani1]

^^ damn , i didn't even notice that  but question remains why SRH playing opening game instead of Punjab Kings ..what's going on with these schedule or did they remove the tradition of playing the opeing match of new season between last year's finalists

2-3 season se notice kar raha hun, I was giving them benefit of doubt but think it's based on only revenue basis and popularity of team.

Btw injury replacement ka kya scene chal raha hai inka? Hearing that, injury par injury ho rahi hai bowlers ki. 2 aur players add ho gaye hai lambi list mein pathirana aur sam curran.

I think they are afraid of war to escalate, Half of Australian Players are out injured , cummins somehow still injured & starc is doing workload mangement despite not playing since Jan.Same with Nz players ..maybe getting some intel from Five Eyes to these countries to not travel currently

Sri Lanka walo ne NOC dai diya hai but ab jo injured hai vo to injured he hai , kuch nhi kar skte

Sam curran ka possible hai war ke chakkar mein ( groin injury is always tactical) but mostly sahi mein injured ho rakhe hai as you can't fake back, knees and hamstring injuries for long. Injury list mein 2-3 toh indian bowlers bhi hai.

Ferguson is taking some break due to family time and won't be available at start.
