Gills has been out of form and his captaincy was not upto the standard. The team lack consistency and you are right they were blessed from not getting shamed or booed by their home crowd after their disappointing over all performance due to the rains. It's unfortunate that without Hardik this team cannot go to the playoffs and Hardik with his new team also didn't qualify for the playoffs. That being said I feel Hardik will go back to GT in the next season or he will be droped from the leadership of MI.

Close to 40 average with SR of 147 isn't bad IMO but yeah I don't remember him impacting a match singlehandedly with the bat. The only inning I can remember is his ton along with Sai Sudharsan.

When Gill was made captain, people already suspected that he might lose his form and this is what exactly happened. In IPL 2023, Gill was orange cap winner, and his tons played large part in GT's wins.

If Hardik was still the captain then I assume he would have still played good as he did last year, now that he's himself a captain he'll have to get accustomed to captainship so it may take a while to do both duties properly.

AT Motera, the booing was only reserved for Hardik and Gill is new with his captaincy gig so not sure if spectators were going to boo him in any scenario, also he has a reputation.

Ha! Well, not updated with the drama so can't add anything on Hardik leaving or not.

The average you quoted is his overall batting performance in IPL and not particularly in this season. He got only one ton like others namely Rohit, Jaiswal and I am forgetting another name. His batting timing and shot selection has suddenly gone bad to worse. Not sure that the limelight made it more bad or he is out of his best form. For Jaiswal I am certain that the attention from media and his sudden financial gain migs is an issue.

I doubt Hardik will be having good days if he keeps performing in the same manner in the upcoming T20WC. Already he is getting more hate after becoming the captain of MI from the fans and from the critics of cricket. The upcoming ICC event might be his last chance to shine or he needs to again find a Godfather who can help him in his career.

His IPL career average is 37-ish with SR of 135-ish and this season he's averaging 38-ish with SR of 147-ish so I am positive.

Yes, Hardik had a bad run but I still think he's a clutch player and an asset for the Indian white ball team. If we had his replacement then sure, your argument stands true but as of now, we have virtually no experienced seam bowling all-rounder in the white ball.

Bad Luck for Gujrat Titans back to back matches getting abandoned. They never got a chance to get back to the fight to qualify for the playoffs. I hope the match between RCB and CSK scheduled for tomorrow is not abandoned as rain is expected tomorrow. If it does then there will be a big uproar from the RCB fan club as getting into the playoffs is a big achievement for their team.

Call it a blessing in disguise, their last 2 washed out matches were against KKR and SRH and both these teams are on a roll.

Gujjus might have some sort of opening against these 2 because of the nature of T-20 but at the same time, now they can somehow use this rain excuse according to their convenience.

Gambhir is not a bad choice as he's a no-nonsense guy but I guess he won't mix well with the setup (In test format) because of Rohit and Kohli as all of them especially Kohli and Gambhir have big prick energy and naturally look for domination. He'd be good in BCCI management though.

Bhajji is useless tbh. Sehwag is an interesting character and has a street smart mind, if I am not wrong then he did apply last time but lost the bid when Dravid joined the race.

According to the speculative news going on in the social media it is either Fleming or Pointing for the chief coach. To stop all internal politics BCCI will go for a foreign coach. Both these lads are already coaching two franchise teams. I would have been more happy if Gambhir could have been in the contention but those internal rifts and especially the issue with Kohli is a problem for him.

Lol Once upon a time, the Indian cricket team had an awful experience with an Aussie Coach. He was a bad influence and his presence created many camps in the Indian dressing room.

I hope Punter's appointment (if it happens) does not repeat the same old mistakes. Most likely biggest victim would be test cricket, which is our strength.

Stephen Fleming will easily leave his present gig as being a coach of Indian team will make him more money. If he gets selected then I am sure he will go for new faces in the team. One thing I am certain someone from the franchise coaching unit will get selected.

If he does get into national side coaching then i guess stock of some Indian players from the CSK squad will see a jump and who knows they might get a break as well.

Then Sithara will come and start again with her CSK quota stuff Grin

. IMO new players are on the radar already and doesn't matter who gets the job.

As of now it is just speculations around who will become the chief of Indian side. If he gets the job then he will get a few CSK guys for sure. Gautam's PR has now got active and they are promoting him like anything I have ever seen. I think we do need some one who is not controversial.

I have read some articles that say that Mr turbanator is also looking for a opportunity. I am not sure how much correct that information is or it is just a rumor. I will be happy if someone like Sehwag applies and gets the position, he will be another Rohit as a coach due to his abilities to use adjectives right left and center.

^^He had an almost 4 year contract and he's reluctant to continue as a coach so BCCI can't force him again, don't forget the last BCCI regime under Ganguly already forced (in a good way) him to accept the job. BTW there is no kink for foreign coaches in India, just look at last 3 coaches but yeah if there is good choice then why not.

Steven Fleming's name is popping up but does he want to leave CSK's gig? His current job requires only 3-4 months of commitment and I believe he earns half a million dollars for this gig. Sure Indian coaching job will fetch him more but it also brings lots of pressure and not to mention a ridiculously packed schedule every year (3 formats)

Rahul Dravid has tried and got near to the cup but failed. He will again try in the T20 format and this time he might be lucky. I don't blame him for not going for another tenure, the job requires a lot of commitment and hardwork which he might not love it anymore.

Looks like BCCI is not interested in getting back Rahul Dravid as the chief coach. They are now considering Steven Fleming to for that position. Again they are now planning to hire an international coach whereas there are plenty of legendary cricketers of India who can take that responsibility. I don't understand the fixation of boards in getting international caoch in the subcontinent. Why can't they ask those players who have made name for their country.

All eyes are now on the match that is scheduled on the 18th between RCB and CSK. Meanwhile, the weather man says that rain is predicted to happen on that day. If the match gets abandoned then RCB will not qualify for sure. If the match happens then CSK will get a good fight from RCB. @elevates and @libert19

GT VS KKR [GAME] 63: ANNOUNCEMENT

As the match got abandoned which is why everyone who posted their prediction will get all the runs and not a single run will be subtracted from the final run score.[/b]

Will Jacks (amongst other English players) left RCB and gone back home to prepare for upcoming t20wc. This is blow to RCB as he played some good knocks in last 5 RCB's wins.

Maxwell could come in but he's no form whatsoever, and other players are not so enticing as replacement.

It felt like RCB has finally found proper playing XI but Jacks leaving gonna leave them hanging.

I have read that all England players are heading back home to prepare before the World Cup. I don't think Jack leaving RCB will make a big difference as CSK is facing the same problem with international players.

GT for the first time failed to qualify for the playoffs. I doubt he will be retained as a captain next year, he is again out of form and hasn't been consistent. If they had played well earlier then they wouldn't have to be so desperate for yesterday. If the match hadn't been abandoned yet if GT had lost them Gill would have been in more trouble.

I was sure that the likes of Kohli and Rohit would retire after the 2022 T-20 WC (at least in the T-20 format) and focus mainly on the Test format but seriously I was dead wrong. After the last T-20 WC, all BCCI did was try new players but things changed for the WC. Rinku was the best performer in the middle order but he got sidelined because Rohit-Kohli had a fixed spot.

I don't think Kohli would retire at any time soon because he is performing consistently at 3 formats and we can say his t20 strike rate is not that high but someone should be trusted to hold one end with this destructive form of cricket.

Rinku got sidelined just because of err made by selection committee, there is no need for 4 spin attack and that's where Rinku is supposed to fit.

Moving on forward, the form of captain and VC of team India is horrible, not the sign that we wanted to see prior to WC T20.

Any chance do we see some changes in the announced squad before deadline?

Kohli should retire from the T-20 format but considering his fitness, I believe he might fancy playing another T-20 WC (2026). Rohit should just take retirement respectfully from T-20, otherwise, he'll face humiliation for sure and i reckon it's his last T-20 WC even if he's retiring or not. He can surely extend his Test career and lead the national team for one more WTC cycle if he makes the right decision.

Shreyas Iyer had a wonderful chance of taking captaincy because he successfully led the India A for a fair amount of time and he looked ready but as soon as his short ball weakness got exposed in the international, everything went down the drain for him. Everything, including the captaincy problem, will be solved in a couple of meetings if BCCI fancy specialist captains/players for each format but they have a kink for all format captain/players.

There is speculation that Pitches might be slow so maybe it played a part in taking 4 spin attack in the squad. Yes, there is always a chance for some tweaking before the deadline.

RR and KKR will easily qualify the win that CSK got yesterday will help them to qualify. The main competition is now between SRH, CSK and RCB. Back to back win by RCB in total of 5 wins has helped them land on 5th position. The match against CSK on the 18th is crucial for both the team. It will be an interesting game for sure as both teams need to win.

As we approach the playoof dates this season will get more interesting and engaging. I never expected RCB to rebound but they did andnnow they are sitting right beside SRH on the point table. They have proven for now that they want to make a change after so many years. I am still not going to trust them as they fail whenever their is a pressure game.
