🔥 BC.GAME IPL 2024 Participant’s Exclusive Discussion Thread

Great! You took it to the uncle's and auntie's level 😆. This is nothing but Jay Shah trying to get some political gain and satisfying the orthodox vote bank. I am confident  that we will now see shit debates on those shit Hindi media houses who have already created a mockery of themselves with thier shit reporting.

This is not about hiring the best designers, this is all about saffron colour. I don't dare nor I care where this political gimmick is going to get with discrimination, what I cared was my team wearing a Jersey that signifies being blue and bleed blue.

There is virtually no need to go that route, don't forget our flag has saffron in it and there was no Jay Shah or BJP at that moment.

Even the 2007 T-20 and 2011 WC winning teams had Saffron on their jerseys and again there was no BJP at that time.

I am not going into that route but I am concerned with these guys forcing to include the saffron colour for everything. Even if they did it, which I am assuming they should have made it look superb, they should have made it look good.

You have already talked about the stripes and indeed those white colour Adidas stripe on the the saffron looks ugly. I am assuming they would have made those stripes shining something that the MI team has in the form of gold colour stripes. Don't  you think that MI are not doctoring the BCCI or influencing the BCCI selection.

I think it is a good time to ask BCCI to move their headquarters into a neutral location. Mumbai has been a place where an individual  player like Dada, who after screwing Dalmiya's daughter still got the position of a secretary of BCCI whereas he wasn't anything but a good captain for me.

MI is now getting into the spoilers party along with RCB, made things tough for SRH who thought will end up in the first 2 positions.

SKY showed his class with 102*, but he is kind of struggled in the midway hope there's no injury or we might see a forced change int T20 squad. Once again MI openers failed and form for Rohit is big concern now for India.

Finally, will they rest Bumrah who needs a break before the WC for sure and there's no point for forcing him to play when there's zero possibility for them to qualify.

... And this how players look wearing this new Jersey. https://talkimg.com/image/rgWSa

Opinion: I would call it average too, IMO they should have continued with darker blue shade, it looks much more pleasing, orange doesn't look ugly here either: https://talkimg.com/image/rgq9T

Okay, these new mugshots are not looking that bad and bring some normalcy. The first look of the leaked shot looked quite horrible tbh

Artistic creativity is not a forte of BCCI so I don't expect any sort of creativity from Baniya BCCI, they are just good at printing money and sucking out blood from fans, that's it.

I am not sure but I think the design of Jersey is being done by Adidas and approved by BCCI. Still being one of the richest cricketing board in the planet they should have added colours which complement the base blue color. I like the way MI jersey has been designed it looks rich and pleasent at the same time whenever players come tonthe field. The worst according to me is the jersey of RR as I don't understand the concept of using pink color for men jersey.

Adidas did the design but the final nod came from BCCI.

Rajasthan is famous for the Pink City (Jaipur) so IMO they opting for pink makes complete sense. A couple of teams like MI and RCB got decent ones. SRH messed up big times though.

For me the worst is Delhi Capitals's jersey, it just don't give competitive team vibe. Regarding using pink color in RR's jersey, it's likely due to Jaipur, Rajasthan being known as pink city.

Adidas could have shown a better design to MR Shah. Now, RR jersey makes sense still pink colour is not for men. SRH is owned by a lady I guess those puzzle maze design on it make sense

They won because SKY made a thrilling comeback just before the T20WC otherwise they would have lost again. Hardik Pandya bowled well if I compare his bowling previously in the IPL, he got 3 wickets and was more economical than he has been. If I am correct with my calculation, SRH needs to win 2 games out of the three left, so hopefully they will not have many problems qualifying for the playoffs. Their NRR is still better than LSG for now but they need to bring it up as it has gone into the negative zone.

Rohit Sharma has been struggling after the ODIWC and might again do it right when he starts playing in the ICC event. The problem with Rohit is that if he goes to bat on pitches that are not batter friendly he tends to lose his wicket too early if not then he keeps on batting till he gets to his half-century. The biggest problem with him now is his fitness which should be a big concern for BCCI. He does know that this WC will be his last to get the trophy otherwise he will never be known as a captain who won the trophy as for batting he has been over shadowed by Kohli.

Just to add something interesting here since you mentioned " Owned by lady, I suppose you meant to say RR" Her( Shilpa Shetty) husband was involved in pornography and if not wrong sex racket as well, he served some time.

Anyway, wtf is going on with Delhi? lol

Anyway, wtf is going on with Delhi? lol

DC is fully dependent on their opening pair and in particular J. Fraser-McGurk. He did his part and got them a good beginning , as usual they didn't use it for themselves. This is not the first time that he helped DC. What I feel bad is that as soon as Rishab Pant was announced as part of the team his abilities as a batter can be questioned.

For me what we see is what we know. As for me Rishabh Panth is struggling after getting selected. The question now is to know whether BCCI selection team will rethink what they selected. Starting with Rohit Sharma and a few others on that list.

I doubt they will make any changes in the announced squad as of the moment, only possibility that we can see if someone goes injured.

Pant used to be a destructive batter but he is not same since his return but BCCI still starts with him and if he don't fulfil then they might bring in Samson in his place.

Regarding DC match they managed to pull off in the death overs, Stubbs again played an extraordinary knock to get them to a good total.

Rohit Sharma might not have won the trophy, but you can't disagree with the fact that India's run in ODI world cup was formidable. In finale too, until Rohit was on crease the team's ship was sailing smooth, only when he got out did things went downhill, his dismissal was major cause why India lost the world cup.

Now, I understand in history books it's only wc that team has won counts, but I wanted to mention my pov.

Regarding, Rishabh's selection I agree, on Rohit being captain, no better captain than him imho.

Hopefully, Sanju will get place in playing 11 instead of Rishabh.

RR had chance had Sanju stayed on crease, his out was questionable.

I agree but there is not any movement on the cushions at the boundary rope which will not likely be if the players touched it and that is the reason he was given out, but from naked eye it looks like he was too close to touching it while holding the ball.  These things bound to happen, even after the wicket of Sanju they still had big hitters but none of them provided what's needed at the moment.

[pakhitheboss]

Another controversial decision by the TV umpire. What was your reaction when you saw Sanju Samson declared out after TV review?


I am certain it was a six as the toe did touch the boundary cushion. Wrong decision by the TV umpire has now become a new normal in this year IPL. If they are not able to use technology to their benefit then why use it?

He does know that this WC will be his last to get the trophy otherwise he will never be known as a captain who won the trophy as for batting he has been over shadowed by Kohli.

Fair point but for how many days Rohit will be gaining the sympathy of the nation after the ODIWC. What has happened has happened but the future is not that bright. He is not fit yet he gets to be the captain. He has not be able to bat in T20 format still he is the captain. He was chosen before the IPL had started and in the meantime everyone was focused on the SR of Kohli in T20.

Predict to win Merits & $5

Thanks for this prediction I also joined this playoff prediction and this is very difficult to say which team will qualify in playoffs games in this series and every team performed every well in past game and some top rank team also beated by low rank team and showed very poor effort like RR team beated by DC team. Let's pick the teams that will qualify in playoff games in my opinion, team number 1 is KKR and team number 2 is SRH and team number 3 is CSK

IPL 2024 PLAYOFF PREDICTION

1. Team1: KKR
2. Team2: SRH
3. Team3: CSK

I was never a big fan of KL Rahul, but it is humiliating and disconcerting to see such a pathetic response from LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka in front of a live audience. For me, this kind of behavior is unprofessional and unacceptable. The question that comes to my mind is, will BCCI take action against the franchise owner? If it was a player then they would have taken strict action and would have fined the player the match fee.

Nothing new in IPL as it is known for its unique controversies and many more will happen in the future.

I am still confused whether the owner is angry or is giving advice to KL Rahul. Do remember he is sone in law of a famous Bollywood celebrity who has a commendable PR team that made him a star. He might have used this opportunity to get him placed in the squad of an upcoming ICC event. As per my understanding this is another PR strategy to make KL Rahul look as he is on the recieving end as a captain who tried his level best.

[elevates]

Does everyone one here who is a T20! expert think that Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma are the greatest opening pair in IPL history? What these two did last night was not only incredible but was alo unbelievable. They both took the their team to victory without any hesitation that they will get out. I should say that Abhishek Sharma should get a berth in the T20 squad, if not he should be considered atleast.

For the right reasons, KL is getting a lot of sympathy because of Goenka's public outburst. Mr Goenka has a history of being loudmouth and arrogant as well.

Not sure if BCCI going to interfere at least not publicly. They might do some backchannel diplomacy but that's it. As of now, reports are coming in that LSG might drop KL soon.
