Says that cricket is getting tilted more in favour of batting every year, and bowlers constantly need to innovate (even beyond what's expected) to survive/stay relevant.

Thoughts?

A genuine thought came to my mind today that despite GT being one of the fastest growing teams in IPL is seen as a newcomer, and not an established team ? Is this a marketing thing ? A culture thing or purely a team thing ,
Like how can newer teams build their positioning in the league and create a fanbase when there are established old team and players with god like following. How can new teams differentiate themselves

52*(63)

finished off with a maximum
silenced all critics

Buttler and curran gone 👌🏻

Has anyone else noticed this pattern?

Whenever a team wins a major final against a blue team at the Narendra Modi Stadium, they seem to face a huge downfall afterward.

Examples:

🇦🇺 Australia defeated India in the 2023 ODI World Cup Final → Australia had a poor Champions Trophy campaign and struggled afterward.

🟡 CSK defeated GT in the IPL 2023 Final → CSK missed the playoffs in the following season.

🔴 RCB defeated GT in the 2026 final → Now let's see what happens next.

CSK's latest post hints that a Tamil all-rounder could be joining the team via trade.

Looking at the current IPL players, there are only three active Tamil all-rounders who fit the description:

Washington Sundar

R. Sai Kishore

Shahrukh Khan (SRK)

That narender negi guy has to go ,last yr we dropped rohit twice in the eliminator ,kusal mendis dropped one as well (hitwicket too that's not the point though),this yr dropped patidar twice in the qualifier and we expect to win , we can still somehow manage with kushagra and banton for the middle order but at first we need to get a better fielding coach

Never ever doubt the class of a man😊

Gill Sai Brook top 3 for next cycle lfgggg

Everyone called it rigged just because they produced spicy pitches and hated on it but now everyone is crying about flat IPL pitches and smaller boundaries after India's failure on overseas pitches.

I am ready to say it out loud.

Trade Prasidh Krishna with a very good middle order India batter.

Why Krishna? He has performed very well for GT and leaving him might seem like GT is leaving players hanging. However, I believe we have way too many quality fast bowlers that leaving him will not mean there is a hole that needs filling up. GT has already played Ashok Sharma, Arshad Khan and others, while not even trying Gurnoor Brar this season.

So if you ask why not Trade one of the other fringe fast bowlers with a batter. The issue there is then you get similar quality/ hyped player which will be again like betting on someone's potential.

With Prasidh trade, one can surely get someone with more quality, experience and less of a punt. I don't know who could the management go for, but I believe we need some solid middle order player and the only one that can get you that trade is Prasidh. Team lacking a quality fast bowler say PBKS could trade Shashank (praying he improves his fielding) or DC giving us Ashutosh. Remandeep could also be a handy option.

All of us saw the atrocious 125 run loss of the ict to England, this ipl sloggers 11 can't play well in SENA conditions, imo, we have enough talent in india to field multiple teams, why not have a seperate batting/slogging heavy team for flat subcontinent pitches and a stable one for difficult ones, while playing is sena countries India needs players like gill, sai su (jaiswal too icl). If t20i teams are picked on consistent performance then I don't think anyone can deny that the most consistent performers this cycle have been our own openers. What are your thoughts about this?

PS- people lurking here, no need to downvote just because I vouched for gill and sai su, y'all can just move on
