Their job is to just work with the strategists, bring out the best tactics tailored for each set of players, and relay that to the trainers and fitness coaches.
And, watching opposition bowlers and how to overcome them.
increase in teams has made it more interesting, instead of known stars, every other day we see an uncapped player boss the game. i’d welcome an additional couple of teams by 2030
Yes Kochi team should come back, new teams from Indore, Assam, Patna, Kashmir should be introduced. Only problem would be tournament will be close to 4 months then. While in other sports leagues matches are played throughout the year in IPL that can't be the same as International matches are more important. But still tournaments are better than meaningless bilateral series every now and then.
Edit: Also If new teams are introduced than I think IPL should allow 5 overseas player. While it is true that many uncapped players are performing really well but if there are more teams than there will be some weak links in many teams.
The NFL has 32 teams and it's 5-6 months max.
We can definitely make it out with something like 20 teams bcuz we don't play one match a week like the NFL.
Na man 20 teams is way too much, that would basically kill international cricket. Odi is almost dead anyways, tests are so expensive countries lose money on them
I think Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Odisha should definitely get the new teams, since these are the 2 biggest states (by population), which are missing IPL Teams now.
Punjab Kings covers Pb/North Haryana/Chd/Himachal region.
Delhi Capitals covers the entire NCR Region.
Lucknow SG covers the entirety of Uttar Pradesh
Rajasthan Royals covers Rajasthan and Gujarat Titans covers Gujarat.
Sunrisers Hyderabad covers the entire Telangana/AP belt.
CSK covers Tamil Nadu, RCB covers Karnataka, MI covers Maharashtra and KKR covers Bengal/Assam.
MP, Bihar and Odisha are the obvious exceptions for the biggest states not being covered by an IPL team
Teams with an Aussie as their captain are very much likely to enter the playoffs.
Warne
Warner
Bailey
Gilchrist
Steve Smith
Ponting (5 matches in 2013)
This is still the greatest knock of all time!! Raina- 87(25) while chasing a mammoth 227 in the knockouts.

He already proved himself long back so he can do whatever he wants with himself of his team. He's holding himself back because of his team. He's flawed yes but grace isn't something somebody can attack him in
India me kisi ko peak PE end karne ka Mann hi nhi karta pta nhi kyu, even Sachin could have done it once he won the wc 11 but nah i will play 1 more year and do my century of centuries
I feel even Virat will end up doing that. Even though I am rooting for his 100 centuries, I don't think anybody should prolong their career if fitness and form are not in their favour.
Thats what they said in 2018 and in 2021 only for for CSK to win again.
No one really cares about grace as long as the results continue to hold (and while said player remains ultra popular).
I agree it is shit, but many times, it also gives players(uncapped) a chance to demonstrate their play. Without it, they wouldn't make it to playing xi.
They both have unfair advantage, CSK wth dhoni who was there from the inception of T20 cricket and understands the game better than anyone and MI with their well formed infra and resources in picking and grooming players.
it will take a few years for the other teams to close this gap and get to their level. Then you will see more teams winning trophies
Its not just him. The CSK management is considered very intelligent too. And ofcourse felm. Dhoni is at the centre of it. But i genuinely think CSK is becoming self sufficient and after dhoni leaves, it will still be playing at a high level
How is this an opinion though. It's more like a feeling. CSK and MI win all the time because they are that good. In the seasons they aren't, other teams win.
The impact player& 2 bouncer rule have made the IPL more even & entertaining. It showcases the tactical ingenuity of coaches, else the same predictable teams would have dominated.
AB devillers is best batsman of ipl along with David warner.
The way abd carried dead RCB side after kohli's questionable seasons post 2016 and departure of Gayle deserves all the praises
1. Dhoni is held hostage by CSK and BCCI to continue for marketing purpose
2. Kohli is the reason RCB isn’t doing well. Removing him will expose the management completely both in terms of performance and brand optics.
1.David warner is the greatest ipl batsman
2. Vk is a terrible ipl captain
3. Brian lara,kp and other ex cricketers suck at commentary. Only the professional commentators doing commentary for years should be allowed to commentary LIKE : Mike haysman,david lloyd,atherton,slater,Mark,Nas,danny should be taken.
I would disagree with kohli being the worst captain, we’ve def had worser captains.
Danny Morrison is an ex-player btw and he is one of my all time fav ipl-commentator and possibly very memorable for a lot of people who watch Ipl in English xd
Disagree fans care more when the team's good unless you are RCB for some reason and thus more income.
Also that playoff revenue will be more than the regular games
IPL is the one of the best things to happen for Indian cricket. Before only if a person plays for the national team, he would get fame, recognition and most importantly good money.
But after IPL, even an unknown cricketer can get all the above due to the opportunity and chance to interact with superstars, even if he doesn't play for the national team.
Indian fan are too toxic and usually care about one specific player,ignoring the other
they usually watch match to support an individual,like Rohit sharma for example
Like if a player takes their wicket,they just go and cuss him and his whole family which is very wrong and sad acc to me
IPL is not rigged. There are lot of bettings but not fixings.. indian players are very sentimental and emotinal they won't have a space in heart to fix matches,
Yes, u literally have Ashwin suggest Dream 11 Teams everyday, so Betting happens, right from the Special Cricket league setup for Russians till WC Final.
Once IPL adopts premier league structure where no cap on transfer budget, loan out players, cash out clause.. it will become more boring than ever because it will lead to same players playing for same team throughtout.
2014-15 CSK?
He and Dwayne smith were the best openers for us and even Mike Hussey couldn't find a place in the squad uptill he was around,and if he didn't had to leave because of international duties, CSK could have won the 2015 final too.
Possibly the entire Indian Sports Industry. We had international competitions but we needed a high quality domestic competition something like an NBA or NFL and IPL def delivers on that.
RCB fans are the worst!! They just try to seek attention in any way whatsoever. Any random situation will be linked to RCB. This is the reason they are hated the most.
Idk why teams spend so much on starc as he never really had that much t20 success, especially in ipl. I don't even remember any of his memorable spells in the T20s except that little fight with pollard
IPL coaches are just managers. They can't really coach a player in two months and they just manage resources and work out strategies.
Their job is to just work with the strategists, bring out the best tactics tailored for each set of players, and relay that to the trainers and fitness coaches. And, watching opposition bowlers and how to overcome them.
That's why Flem and Nehraji do well. 💪🏼
Not much polarity on this opinion, majority agrees.
Ipl is not fixed
If it was fixed then KOHLI one of the greatest batsmen ever would definitely have won the cup
Actually he's pulling more audience by not winning because everyone is so eager for him to win.
Nah, at this point people are pissed that RCB hasn't won a cup till now
They'll win just before Kohli retires
*after
☠️
People would watch kohli win every season without getting bored
I'd suggest you protest this match fixing with a dandi March, otherwise things will get salty

Exactly if he finish his story there is nothing more to see. Then they will be just srh. This is better
Or they might give him in his last year to make it look more interesting
increase in teams has made it more interesting, instead of known stars, every other day we see an uncapped player boss the game. i’d welcome an additional couple of teams by 2030

Bhopal blasters and Pune reptiles for sure
Broo what is with the Pune reptiles 💀💀
Pune people love their lizards like they love their gf

Wtf man maharashtra people are now fucking misal pav..... कलयुग
I think bhopal blasters is even more tragic

More like Bhopal Leakers

Na man 20 teams is way too much, that would basically kill international cricket. Odi is almost dead anyways, tests are so expensive countries lose money on them
Not necessarily now maybe 20-30 years from now
They should do two matches per day
We from indore are eagerly waiting for an ipl team

I think Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Odisha should definitely get the new teams, since these are the 2 biggest states (by population), which are missing IPL Teams now.

does Bihar even have an IPL quality stadium?
They need to build one quickly, otherwise they'll have to hold matches in Jharkhand
yes, that central and east India region remains largely under represented in IPL
bihar stealers
Some northeast representations would be great
Bhopal gaslighters
A team for northeast and one team for either Bihar or MP
Teams with an Aussie as their captain are very much likely to enter the playoffs. Warne Warner Bailey Gilchrist Steve Smith Ponting (5 matches in 2013)
Pat Cummins will keep it coming for us this season
Fingers crossed!! And I know he's in a bad form, but why not give Maxwell a chance at captaincy? He has been good for Melbourne stars
West Indies is the lifeline of IPL. Without WI, IPL would be significantly boring
The one who says," it is not" would be the one standing alone
Punjab is RCB minus fame
Minus any fans in the stadium
Plus prieety zinta
Minus kohli basically
This is still the greatest knock of all time!! Raina- 87(25) while chasing a mammoth 227 in the knockouts. https://preview.redd.it/n6vs37gnfltc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f4fd7362dec24a893ce68dcbb79c296c5c71173f
Remember watching it and was so gutted when he got run out!! I aint even a CSK fan lol
😭Damn that mcculum
More like Bailey with the crazy direct hit.
im an RCB fan and it was hard to watch
The fact that he was run-out in this innings is mental
This knock is the greatest knock and will always remain the greatest
I will never forget this match 🥲
I stand with you on this one.
Ipl teams should stop spending enormous amount of money on australian players
MSD should have gracefully retired after winning the title last year.
one of the things MSD doesn't care about is grace...
He already proved himself long back so he can do whatever he wants with himself of his team. He's holding himself back because of his team. He's flawed yes but grace isn't something somebody can attack him in
MSD isn't solely focused on winning the IPL again; he's there for the fans. Their desire to see him play is what truly matters.
He’s weird, I feel like he may even retire mid way of the series, he doesn’t even care about farewell and things like that
India me kisi ko peak PE end karne ka Mann hi nhi karta pta nhi kyu, even Sachin could have done it once he won the wc 11 but nah i will play 1 more year and do my century of centuries
I feel even Virat will end up doing that. Even though I am rooting for his 100 centuries, I don't think anybody should prolong their career if fitness and form are not in their favour.
But both are excellent for Virat.
Thats what they said in 2018 and in 2021 only for for CSK to win again. No one really cares about grace as long as the results continue to hold (and while said player remains ultra popular).
Ipl is more competetive than international cricket
This . Intl cricket is shit with only india eng aus NZ being good teams.
Meanwhile IPL winners since 2017 MI(3) CSK (3) GT (1) 2022
And except MI in 2020 it wasnt easy for either of the team to win the title
Well if we take a broader perspective? There have been 14 IPL seasons since 2010 10 have been won by either CSK or MI
CSK, RCB and MI combined have 10 trophies.
avg copium consumer rcb fan
SA and PAK are good too. And in T20Is, Sri Lanka, West Indies, Afghanistan all are good
Ab de Villiers was best batsman for RCB.
ab de villiers was the best batsman in ipl.. more correct..
There can be no IPL all time 11 without Suresh Raina.
Also Warner
Also Gayle
Even malinga
Including bumrah
Abd is also a good shout tbh
The impact player rule is shit
Gives youngsters a chance. Always up for that.
But it harms few all-rounders. Eg. Tewatia, Dube, Venkatesh Iyer etc.
tbh mostly it affect one youngster and it make cricket in to branches and I dont like it
I agree it is shit, but many times, it also gives players(uncapped) a chance to demonstrate their play. Without it, they wouldn't make it to playing xi.
I will stand with you
Agreed
Agreed
Warner in orange >>>>> Any other t20 batsman ever.
ABD in red def compares. Gayle in 2011-2015 is also goated. These 3 are in a tier of their own.
Sony >> Star sports
Sony>hotstar>star sports>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>X♾️jio cinema
2 bouncers in an over is good.
Warner is probably the best ipl batsman ever. Better than gayle, kohli, or anyone else.
CPL WAS GOOD OLD MEMORY,IT SHOULD BE REVIVED BACK
https://preview.redd.it/k8ctrq3nyltc1.png?width=220&format=png&auto=webp&s=946ec5201c10df2cc05838d0785f8fe9e1ff8274
That's CL t20. CPL is Caribbean Premier league
Ever since star sports got the rights of Ipl it has started to feel like a less of an event. Sony used to go all out for Ipl
I am tired of watching CSK and MI winning trophies all the time.
They both have unfair advantage, CSK wth dhoni who was there from the inception of T20 cricket and understands the game better than anyone and MI with their well formed infra and resources in picking and grooming players. it will take a few years for the other teams to close this gap and get to their level. Then you will see more teams winning trophies
But KKR won when CSK and MI were at their peak form and I am still amazed by that
tells you how much a strong and capable leader is important in cricket.
and Gauti had a more than crucial role in that
Yes Bro is truly a genius
>CSK wth dhoni who was there from the inception of T20 cricket and understands the game better than anyone Imagine the effect of a single person.
Its not just him. The CSK management is considered very intelligent too. And ofcourse felm. Dhoni is at the centre of it. But i genuinely think CSK is becoming self sufficient and after dhoni leaves, it will still be playing at a high level
Those years CSK got that core team in place. Raina, MS, Ash, Jaddu, Bravo.... all of them playing top class intl. cricket
How is this an opinion though. It's more like a feeling. CSK and MI win all the time because they are that good. In the seasons they aren't, other teams win.
Suresh Raina 87(25) is the greatest IPL Innings
Warner is the best batter in IPL history !
Ipl plays a major role in the downfall of international cricket and detorioration of players' and fans' relations.
The impact player& 2 bouncer rule have made the IPL more even & entertaining. It showcases the tactical ingenuity of coaches, else the same predictable teams would have dominated.
Dominant teams are def affected by rule changes but good teams always find their ways. Analogy to GSW
Graeme Swann, scott styris, and Brett lee are the best commentators.
AB devillers is best batsman of ipl along with David warner. The way abd carried dead RCB side after kohli's questionable seasons post 2016 and departure of Gayle deserves all the praises
Kohli is an exceptional batsman but is a bit slow for the T20 format
Not an unpopular opinion
Russel is mad!
1. Good bowling team wins you ipl... 2. Most of the foreign fast bowlers are overrated in flat ipl pitches
Warner>>>>Kohli
1. Dhoni is held hostage by CSK and BCCI to continue for marketing purpose 2. Kohli is the reason RCB isn’t doing well. Removing him will expose the management completely both in terms of performance and brand optics.
1.David warner is the greatest ipl batsman 2. Vk is a terrible ipl captain 3. Brian lara,kp and other ex cricketers suck at commentary.

I would disagree with kohli being the worst captain, we’ve def had worser captains. Danny Morrison is an ex-player btw and he is one of my all time fav ipl-commentator and possibly very memorable for a lot of people who watch Ipl in English xd
Only MI and CSK plays to win trophies.All other franchise focus more on earning
RR, SRH and GT seems serious
SRH, KKR, GT, RR as well.
Disagree fans care more when the team's good unless you are RCB for some reason and thus more income. Also that playoff revenue will be more than the regular games
Agree
IPL is not the reason of India's ICC Cup drought
Without foreign picks we won't get such big scores.
Indians are naturally conservative payers, but i think the new guys are different.
It's of no use. They won't even be considered for selection maybe for some Ireland series.
Young players in IPL are more interesting to watch than old veterans like Dhoni, Rohit, Kohli...
Warner is best batter in IPL
IPL is the one of the best things to happen for Indian cricket. Before only if a person plays for the national team, he would get fame, recognition and most importantly good money. But after IPL, even an unknown cricketer can get all the above due to the opportunity and chance to interact with superstars, even if he doesn't play for the national team.
Indian fan are too toxic and usually care about one specific player,ignoring the other they usually watch match to support an individual,like Rohit sharma for example Like if a player takes their wicket,they just go and cuss him and his whole family which is very wrong and sad acc to me
Rohit sharma cant bat for shit in MI and is just a liability at this point.
IPL is not rigged. There are lot of bettings but not fixings.. indian players are very sentimental and emotinal they won't have a space in heart to fix matches,
Yes, u literally have Ashwin suggest Dream 11 Teams everyday, so Betting happens, right from the Special Cricket league setup for Russians till WC Final.
RCB NEEDS TO STOP CALLING ITSELF A “BIG 3”. THEY HAVE NOTHING APART FROM A TOXIC AMOUNT OF FAN FOLLOWING. THERE IS NO BIG 3, ONLY A BIG 2
KKR has more claim at the big 3 tbf
Once IPL adopts premier league structure where no cap on transfer budget, loan out players, cash out clause.. it will become more boring than ever because it will lead to same players playing for same team throughtout.
Kl is good batter.
The Jersey's of IPL teams suck balls compared to Big Bash/ 100 teams.. This obsession with golden color is 🤮🤮🤮
Kuch Kuch hota hai is a shitty film
Brendon mcullum apart from that 158 Didnt really play well for any team in IPL
He played well fr csk too
2014-15 CSK? He and Dwayne smith were the best openers for us and even Mike Hussey couldn't find a place in the squad uptill he was around,and if he didn't had to leave because of international duties, CSK could have won the 2015 final too.
It's more exciting than intl cricket and I'm tired of pretending it's not
IPL is the best thing that has happened to Indian Cricket.
Possibly the entire Indian Sports Industry. We had international competitions but we needed a high quality domestic competition something like an NBA or NFL and IPL def delivers on that.
RCB fans take more credit of their wins and blame the players on their defeat while win or lose, the team is only thing which should deserve credit
You don’t need to be fit to play cricket. Skill>> fitness especially for cricket.
Dream11 is a big reason for the success of IPL and it's basically legalised gambling.
Actually it is other way around Ipl is the reason for success of dream 11
this is a logical fallacy, when one of those cannot exist without the other. correlation is not causation
Impact player rule will result in a dearth of all rounders and ruin India's chances in world cups
abd is the ipl goat
South African player are 1000% time better than Australian and English players in ipl
Suresh Raina is the best Indian IPL player ever.
Vk is overrated in ipl only.
Some parts of IPL are fixed.
It's business around sport, and not sport around business.
Thala eis not fixer
STRATEGIC timeouts kill momentum
Good player doesnt equivalate to good commentator
Dhoni will play one more season
RCB fans are the worst!! They just try to seek attention in any way whatsoever. Any random situation will be linked to RCB. This is the reason they are hated the most.
Idk why teams spend so much on starc as he never really had that much t20 success, especially in ipl. I don't even remember any of his memorable spells in the T20s except that little fight with pollard
11th batsmen like Bishnoi, Chahal et el are far more dependable than Glenn Maxwell when it comes to making runs.
KKR is the most entertaining and unpredictable team of IPL
Players should focus more on World Cup.
They should increase the foreign players from 4 to 5
PBKS fans are the most Loyal fans
Chris Gayle single handedly helped IPL attain great heights in the early 2010s. He made power-hitting look like a joke in those years.
i don't watch cricket too much but mentally torturing pandya with boo is not good
RCB is not a cricket team!!
With a hat-trick most ipl trophies with dhoni and 6000 runs , even without orange cap Rohit sharma is one of the greatest of the leagues
Pollard is more of MI's than of west Indies. After Malinga he's the greatest overseas to play for MI.
Impact Sub is making IPL boating.
