India cricket Discussion and predictions [self-mod]

Sachin has some good suggestion , I think Impact rule will be anyway gone since Dhoni is retiring   i'm 100% convince they brought this only for him.Other two are also good i'm up for it .

Was never a fan of impact player rule so good on him calling this out. 5 overs for best bowler sounds interesting tho.

Nah, for dhoni they tweaked uncapped player rule, dont remember exact details but it's was like if someone retired for more than 5 years then he could be considered a uncapped player and could be retain cheaply.

Yeah, that happened but even with a rule CSK is just fighting for the wooden spoon, and by this time people knew that he is retired already from IPL, and there is also some talks on social media that he will be the coach and Flemming will step down or be completely sacked.

But these all are just rumours and we just got our winner for 2026 IPL, RCB won their 2nd trophy under the Patidar captaincy but people only praise Kohli for everything though.

Point is they made a mockery of IPL and treated like some gully cricket and IPL management was in it because of his popularity.

They'll just mint his name, no matter how but they'll do it. Crazy that whole tournament is piggy backing on handful names, not a good sign tbh. Last i heard, this season ratings also came down.

At least now, the names are about the young ones, not the established stars, which is a good change, if not the best.

And about the ratings, I didn't know but I heard in the analysis of ask after a match where Pdogg mentioned that there is almost 30% dip in the total viership of IPL but management said it is due to the election time but I doubt it, and it is basically due to the flat tracks, scoring 200 is the new bare minimum and every kind of bowler is treated like a shitty one so the competition is going completely in favour of batting.

BCCI should make a change or IPL will keep losing ratings.

Didn't seen them promoting any young player, Sanju did get some footage tho.

Don't know what Pdogg is but i remember reading some article around mid season. Think team playing with 8 batters ( impact player) also played important role in big score along with flat decks. At start, pitch looked diverse enough as we had every scoreline.
