India cricket Discussion and predictions [self-mod]

[Cointikka]

Watched yesterday's match. The ball by Jamieson was unplayable, which got the boy wonder out. His reaction after taking the wicket of Vaibhav proves how much every bowler in IPL fears the boy while he is batting. I'm dead sure, Vaibhav, after getting out, will now wait for his chance to hit Jamieson a six on his first ball. Kyle Jamieson has been fined and handed a demerit point for his actions, which is termed as an " aggressive send-off against Vaibhav Suryavanshi.

"The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said the venues for the IPL playoffs will be decided in a day or two. "We are working on what could be the appropriate venue for the IPL playoffs and the final. So, we will take another two days' time," BCCI secretary Devjit Saikia said.Asked if the designated venues - Mullanpur and Bengaluru - by virtue of Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings being the finalists and champions last year, the BCCI secretary refused to dwell on the topic. "You can keep guessing, but I am not going to give you a reply. We will take a call in two days' time," he said."

This again proves that Cricket is becoming a batter's game, it is not fair to penalize a bowler for his celebration, as they did with Digvesh Rathi in the last season and now this one, but why not apply the same rule when the batter got his century and celebrates it wildly?

I am sure Vaibhav will look for the revenge and he is capable of hitting in the very first ball.

It was always a batter's game, but a few bowlers made their name by bowling differently, like in this time, Bumrah. What I do not like is the way BCCI is creating flat pitches to make IPL more entertaining. A complete business package is now offered in IPL, as the crowd loves to see a batter hit boundaries rather than getting out. The pitch should be good for both bowlers and batters, which will make the game more interesting from a cricket perspective.

becoming??

It was batter's game and will remain so. Bowlers are second class citizens, ishme bhi 2 category hai. Seam bowlers are majdoor aur spinners are untouchable.

Playoffs Schedule


Qualifier 1 – May 26 – HPCA Stadium, Dharamshala
Eliminator – May 27 – New International Cricket Stadium, New Chandigarh
Qualifier 2 – May 29 – New International Cricket Stadium, New Chandigarh

Qualifier 2 – May 29 – New International Cricket Stadium, New Chandigarh
Final – May 31 – Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad

What is the reason for hosting finals always in Ahmedabad? They want only the Gujarat cricket board to benefit? They should give equal opportunities to all the cricket boards that are hosting IPL matches every year.

Usually it's because of top dogs in the BCCI as they favour their home state for marquee event. Happened when likes of srinivasan, ganguly etc were president.

Having said that, it's seems different this time. No gujju at top but still big fixtures are going to motera, maybe because of jay shah? Idk

Bhai, I have to agree with you, but here one thing is also important Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium has a capacity of 132000, and in the end having more than 100000 is always good.

 In the near future one more stadium is coming in Jaipur hopefully then it's going to have some competition between them because the Jaipur stadium has a capacity of 75000 fans.

[JSRAW]

^^ big stadium argument is valid, for marquee matches ( ind vs pak odi) I've made the very same argument couple of times but that can't be only reason to host literally every final.

I mean 2022 se sare finals wahin ho rahe hai, including odi and T20 bas 2024 IPL ka final chennai mein hua tha.

Today the BCCI officially announces the move of the final of IPL 2026 from Bengaluru to Ahmedabad due to logistical issues.

I am unable to access the website. IDK what the reason is for it not being able to see the content written in the article. Whatever it is, I am still not convinced with the reasoning, as this is becoming quite normal, supporting a particular state for investment and important events by those in power.

Gujju still on the top , it's Jay shah's world & we are living it or should i say it's mota bhai's world 
Jokes aside i think Eden Garden would've gotten final but security won't allow it at this time , Chinnaswamy didn't got it because of the MLA fiasco all the VIP boxes will be filled by them as they passed a bill saying MLA will get 2 tickets for RCB's game

Btw most of the time during presentation and meeting with big players Jai shah actually look and act like a fan tho.

I mean bit of nervous, submissive body language in a good way like he's showing respect. With kohli he actually looks like a proper fanboy or i dare to say, the guy who'd ask for permission from Anushka if he could sit on Kohli's lap.

No criticism if they stole hosting rights from Chinnaswamy.

[vivekdhyani1]

No criticism if they stole hosting rights from Chinnaswamy.

it's worst than what i thought 

"BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia :We were shocked when we received a response via email from the Karnataka State Cricket Association on May 2nd; in that email, they stated that, over and above the 15% complimentary ticket quota, they would require an additional, substantial allocation of tickets for their members, affiliated clubs, and various others.

Most surprisingly, they also requested tickets for their local Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) and Members of the Legislative Council. And also to the government of Karnataka, 700 complimentary tickets. Thus, over and above the 15% allocation, they were demanding approximately 10,000 additional tickets."

kya chal raha hai ye 

[JSRAW]

Wtf! 10k tickets and most of it would be VIP passes ( 3-5 person per pass)for big dogs.

Yeh demand tab aa rahi hai jab Chinnaswamy stadium ki capacity 40k bhi nhi Hai. Theek hai maan liya ki entitled breed ho but bc chutiyapa toh na karo.

[vivekdhyani1]

The BCCI has sent seven-page guidelines to the 10 IPL franchises, addressing key issues in the middle of IPL 2026 , Looks like something big happened in this IPL. Maybe one or two players have been compromised through honey-trap by some bookie

snip..

I have come across some tweets that say that it is Yuzi Chahal who was honey trapped by a girl. As usual, he thought that he could have a fling with her, so he passed her much information about the IPL matches his team was playing. Cannot find those tweets but was able to locate on reddit post.

Cricket conspiracy theories are usually right so there's a high chance of yuzi getting honey trapped by some diva influencer.

Dude is so naive that want to burn himself twice and that too voluntary, considering his previous relationship and divorce saga.

Dude is so naive that want to burn himself twice and that too voluntary, considering his previous relationship and divorce saga.

Dude is a big fool! He was also caught vaping and is now honey trapped. He might get banned or might get removed from the current team. I remember Hardik Pandya's interview on the KJO talk show. After that, he got dropped from the national team. BCCI will take action against him, which will happen after this season of  IPL ends.
