Which other teams do you think will be able to qualify for the play offs. I feel KKR has a good chance to qualify with thier top order batters playing very good as of now. The bowling and fielding is a concern but they can work with that to improve it.

Apart from RCB everyone has their own fate of getting into top 4 in their hands. And RCB might have an outside chance of they win their remaining 4 matches with great NRR and other team results might favour them.

My top 4 as of now, RR, SRH, KKR and CSK.

CSK vs SRH is live at the moment, probably the deciding match of their playoff chances.

CSK started slow, and I don't know why Rahane is still given chance when he is clearly not in the form not just in IPL ever since Ranchi.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Vs Chennai Super Kings

Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and decided to fold and we already know whether Sunrisers made the right decision for today's match. Analyzing the past matches, it can be seen that Sunrisers Hyderabad have scored more than 250 runs in most of their matches. But in today's match, if Chennai Super Kings cannot give Sunrisers Hyderabad a target of more than 200 runs, the chances of winning the match will be very low. The match was just played and Chennai Super Kings collected 13 runs after 2 overs. However, in today's match, the collection of Chennai Super Kings must be above 200 runs, otherwise the match with Sunrisers Hyderabad will be more likely to lose.

RCB is so deep in the point table that they will need to every match to secure their position for the playoffs. Looking at the way Virat Kohli has been batting it is again the attitude to get a 50 rather than getting his team to win the match. He has now become a yesteryear batter who at the end of their career was more concerned about getting records. The reason is to stay in the limelight, but only a few like MSD cared about the trophies. Rohit Sharma followed him and now we can see why is still important whereas he is not at the top of the number of runs he has scored for a few years now in IPL.

Lol 😆 they are making a comeback and they are doing the right thing. Virat again played the anchor role for his team, he might haven't been able to contribute as Will Jacks did with his superb innings. But, he was their when his team needed him and that what matters as it is the KOACH who is backing a new batter and motivating him to bat well. That is what he did while being on the pitch with Jack.

You were right about RCB winning with the help of Kohli in chasing a big total. It is now evident that the pitch curators are making it easier for the batsmen to score big runs by ensuring perfect timing of the ball, resulting in frequent boundaries. However, Kohli seemed to be more focused on holding his orange cap as the top run-scorer rather than contributing towards the team's victory. It was disappointing to see him play a mediocre innings and only aim for another half-century to add to his records.

RCB batsman Jakes scored 100 runs off 41 balls.  The batsman showed great interest in the match and added runs with effort and struggle.  Apart from him, Virat Kohli scored 70 runs off 44 balls and he also worked hard in the match.  GT batsmen set a target of 200 in 20 overs which was very good.  But the RCB batsmen set a target of 206 in 16 overs and won the match.  Had Virat Kohli and Jacks not worked so hard and struggled, they could have won this match very easily.GT bowlers need to work hard and struggle so that they can perform well in the next matches.RCB batsmen and bowlers also showed good performance in the match.

They won brother but they still cannot make into the playoffs.

RCB is batting now and I hope Virat goes on the demolition mode if he wants his team to come up on the point table. They should end up in a decent position on the point table as they are in the bottom and before the playoffs. The most important question is that can RCB win 2 in a row?

Another 200+ target and now it looks like it has become common in IPL 2024 to get those runs. As expected Sai Sudarshan has been consistent this year with his batting, I never expected Shahrukh Khan to bat so well. I am assuming he might be another all-rounder in the making, again the age that these guys are in does not look like they will be playing much longer. He is already 28 years old another 10 years max if he stays fit like a few players we have in the Indian team.

There are too many runs that are being scored in this year of IPL. It now looks like any team can easily get to 250 or more runs, looks like the pitches are being created to help the batters. There should be some healthy competition between the batters and the bowlers. I liked the match between RR and LSG more than the first one as the bowlers were getting help in the second game from the pitch. It was the batters who had to play sensibly in that match to get those runs on the scoreboard. Sanju Samson has been in good form it seems as he has been batting well this year and is no longer afraid to play the risky shots. His team is at the top of the point table and they have lost only 1 match till now, they will surely make it to the playoffs.

Technically any team that win 8 matches will end up in top 4, so they are already qualified for it and now their Target will be no 1 or 2 in the points table that will give extra chance in case of losing one playoff.

Flat pitches,

Small boundaries.

Impact player rule

Which are turning this game into the favour of batters but for the longevity of game it should be fair for both or else IPL might lose its charm.

Seeing 250+ score can be entertaining but what can be the dramatic thriller is defending 160.
Yeah, technically they have already qualified for the playoffs. Sanju Samson was incredible yesterday and not to forget Jurel was their to support him. I think the impact player rule should be removed and the curators should start working on good pitches. It is becoming monotonous now with the ease these batters are going after the bowlers.

Dutch and South Africa are different too.

Your answer to my mindset and why I assumed after seeing a lot of three-word names of white people from SA.
I saw him in BBL, he was good there, guess DC management didn't that's why they didn't have him play in first several matches otherwise they would have won more.

Apart from the Indian Premier League (IPL), I have not watched any other franchise league because I am least interested in them since they are nothing like the IPL. However, it is good to see a young talent like him tearing apart those bowlers. He is undoubtedly a great discovery for the Delhi Capitals, but how long he will remain a part of the team is questionable. I recall Shane Watson being noticed by the Australian Cricket Board after he played similarly in the IPL. There are others as well, but this young player, with his abilities, will undoubtedly secure his spot in the Australian team if he continues to bat in the same way.

Another 250+ score and in this season scoring 200 becomes a joke.

The man Jake Fraser-McGurk looking like the most destructive players of this season so far I have watched even better than SRH players. MI is going for another heartbreak because they already lost two early wickets and this isn't a good sign when you are chasing a record total.

Today, he was once again blasted by the South African opener while playing for DC, and his captaincy skills were not praiseworthy.
Jake Fraser-McGurk is Australian.

His name suggested to me that he should be a Dutch and come from South Africa. I did a check and he is listed as an Australian on the ACB website, never heard of him before which is why got confused. But, he is a great talent for Australia and he has the potential. I am sure this guy will be part of the squad for the T20WC-2024.

Yesterday he came early to bat otherwise he bats at lower middle order. Regarding selection, I don't think he has got any chance.

By the 1st of May, BCCI has to announce the squad, let's see whether he can make it.

He comes in the same position as SKY for PBKS but he is 32 year old and will last another 3 or 5 years, if he looks after his fitness. The problem is that if he doesn't get pick up by the selectors this year then he might not be available for the next WC.

Virat deserves place in team, just because of his SR, you can't exclude him. His presence and experience is of tremendous help to the team. He can play anchor inning while other batters coming on crease keep the scoreboard going.

Regarding who should get in as wk, There are so many WK options yet I do not feel safe with even one of them.

He will be part of the squad that is what Rohit Sharma said even though he is not in the form that he was last year. Virat is still looking better than him and I feel that he will be playing his last T2OWC same goes for the Hitman.

snip.

Yeah, he is batting well and one of the cheapest players that PBKS got for this season. His style is not that similar to SKY but some of his hook shots towards the leg side might remind of SKY.

Hardik Pandya has not been able to bat and bowl well this season, maybe that's why he might be left out of the Indian main team in the upcoming T20 World Cup.

He was focused on negotiating with MI when he should have concentrated on improving his overall performance. His downfall began when he left the Indian squad during the ODIWC to pursue his dream of becoming the captain of MI. Today, he was once again blasted by the South African opener while playing for DC, and his captaincy skills were not praiseworthy.

IPL 2024 new found talent Shashank Singh, this guy plays in a similar manner like SKY. He has played 9 innings and he has scored 21*(Cool, 61*(29), 46*(25), 41(25) & 68*(28). He comes in the same position as SKY for PBKS but he is 32 year old and will last another 3 or 5 years, if he looks after his fitness. The problem is that if he doesn't get pick up by the selectors this year then he might not be available for the next WC.

D Kartik and KL Rahul shouldn't be near the T-20 WC squad.
~edited~  
So who are the options, Ishan Kishan
2 WK batters are enough for 15 Men's squad. Samson and Pant should do the work. Ishan Kishan won't make it into even 20 Men's squad.


Found this circulating on r/ipl. This is the squad picked up by Sanjay Manjarekar. Stange he did not pick up Kohli

Sanju Manju went full retard.

KL Rahul: After 8 outings in the IPL he's lagging behind 10 batters and 9 of them are Indians except Travis Head.
Siraj : He's having a meltdown and out of form completely so he shouldn't be in the squad.
K Pandya: I mean WTF he's smoking.
Harshit Rana: He's good but not breaking a door, also sample is too small.


Jaiswal: Before the IPL He was in hot form but didn't look good in the first leg of IPL. IMO for the opening slot, he's still a safe bet when compared to other options. Also, I'd like Abhishek Sharma (SRH) as a backup opener.

Mayan Yadav: He can provide an X-factor to this Indian bowling lineup and could be a game-changer but his fitness is a big problem. Still, I won't mind if he's in the squad. Just use him tactically, for ex: against only top teams or possibly 1 group match and then save his strength for Knockouts.


Edit

Completely forget about Kohli lol. If you want one anchor player in your team then Kohli is the only guy you should go for without any doubt.

Do some reason or the other I think this time Samson will get picked and if Pant bats again well he will get an opportunity. Samson fan club has again become active after his team and himself playing well. After watching yesterday's match between SRH and RCB, one thing I am certain that SRH batters are pathetic in chasing the target. If they bat first then SRH has a chance of winning the match otherwise they will lose. What do you guys think about Abhishek Sharma can he replace an all rounder in question, who also is the captain of MI.

SRH's recent loss against RCB has affected their position in the point table, however, RCB remains at the bottom of the table. Although I'm not very good at math, I assume that RCB will have to win all their remaining matches, if they want to make it to the playoffs. But that seems, like an impossible task, as RCB only seems to perform well when Kohli is playing at his best. Sanjay Manjerekar and the Chief selector (Agarkar) are being proven correct with their concerns over Kohli's T20 performances as in the SR. If you take a look at the attached image, it's clear you will find the reason, why he's not suitable for T20 cricket. If BCCI still selects him, we may not see another T20WC cup this year.
