Its 1 year late. he should have after WC 2023 because if he's not going to play WC 2027 then you need to give maximum time for the team to develop for WC 2027. big reason why we won WC 2011 was because seniors were out immediately after 2007 debacle.

Speaking of T20, it is always a youngsters game and nobody's spot should be guaranteed be it any age. mentality fitness adaptability are more important than form, legacy and experience (more important for longer formats) . Totally agree with your point that seniority and idol worship needs to stop especially because it had stopped once and we won so much when that happened last time

well put. I agree completely…

Congratulations to Jake Fraser-McGurk for winning the PoTM award.

Cheers..

Jake Fraser-McGurk | Player of the Match: It was pretty nervous. I had looked at his (Bumrah's) footage all day. But in the game everything goes out of the window and you just have to see the ball. It is good to test yourself against the best bowler in the world. You have to ride the waves of highs and lows. These innings are good for my confidence and for my team. From outside you don't know the level of the competition, this is such a higher level than the other leagues and it is amazing to be a part of it.

Another game where over 500 runs were scored. Looks like this is the norm now. Delhi continue their upward move on the points table while Mumbai stay second to last.

Phew! Another humdinger of a game. When is a contest really over these days? It is not over when Rohit, Kishan and SKY are sent back within the powerplay. It is not over when Hardik and Wadhera depart in the same over. It is not over when Mumbai's most powerful batter - Tim David - falls in the 18th over. It is only over when the last ball is bowled. That is the confidence and self belief of every batter in this edition. Tilak Varma was the standout for Mumbai, he played the anchor as well as the aggressor and with little more support, he would have taken the game away from Delhi. Rasikh Dar was the pick for the home side, he came on as an impact sub and picked up 3 for 34 in this high-scoring affair while the rest went for plenty. In the end it was his spell of four overs which made the difference.

well I did not doubt you, it's just VK who annoys me

I read somewhere that in all the IPLs put together - VK has only missed 4 matches. Vs his record of “rests” for team India 🤣🤣. If true - so sad. Hain na ?

Hardik Pandya | MI Captain: This game is becoming more and more closer. It (the difference) used to be a couple of overs, now it’s becoming a couple of balls. Because of the kind of games and how the bowlers are under pressure, we backed ourselves to do it. If I had to pick something out, we could have taken a couple of more chances in the middle overs. The left-handers could have probably gone after Axar a little bit, it’s something we missed out in terms of game awareness. It was quite amazing the way he (Fraser-McGurk) batted, he took calculated risks, he played the field really well. It shows the fearlessness of youth. (If he would’ve done something different at the toss) Not really.

Congratulations to agarsh for winning the 43rd prediction game of IPL 2024.

Cheers..
