Indian pace attack was not upto the mark I felt. It is possible due to the dew factor that they struggled. The last over by Krishna could have been bowled far better if it was Arshdeep. SKY missed that calculation and we lost the match.

Dunno if it's dew or they are just bad, in previous two matches too India only won due to batting brilliance. Deepak Chahar has been added to the squad from next game, hopefully we will see him in place of Prasidh.

Deepak Chahar is another big failure considering that out of 24 innings he played in a T-20 international cricket he has got only 2 maiden overs and has conceded 703 runs. He was outstanding when he debuted till he made IPL his way of business and after that, he was never chosen to be part of the team. It is ironic that BCCI selectors are now looking for him as a solution to the waste seamers that are currently bowling in this series. They should have looked into some new guys who have never played an international T-20 league.

Team India got only 11 T20I games ahead of 2024 T20 WC, so I don't think it is ideal to look for players who are yet to debut for team India. I agree that Deepak Chahar hasn't been that good but he did pretty decent also developed bowling few death overs since the last IPL. Hopefully team India will groom the team after the WC ends with new talents, now all they can do is find out the better options from the one we already got.

Prasidh Krishna has been a total failure in all the three games and I don't know how he has been elected for the WC squad.

Unfortunately he is now part of an elite group of bowlers, who have conceded most runs in an innings. He is now comfortably ranked 6th on that list with 68 runs in 4 overs. Yesterday in the last over he conceded 23 runs to get his ranking confirmed on that list.

I expected a bit of professional approach from him, whereas he was bowling in the similar fashion like the Afghan pace bowlers did against Maxwell in the concluded WC. I still remember Wasim Akram saying that if you fail over the wicket then go round the wicket. We have seen Shami doing it frequently when he bowls. Being in the T20 squad doesn't guarantee that he will be part of the playing 11.

The match has been total thriller due to the batting paradise condition but Indian pacers could have done a little better cause failing to defend 220+ os really a bad thing at any ground. As you said its Maxi show again and he has to be departed early or else the game is going to be snatched just like yesterday that is where SKY missed the trick as captain in my opinion.

Maxwell at his best again, snatched the game out of India's hand. What way to get his century in a series decider game. I had the feeling that Australia would come back and they did it because of Maxwell. Rituraj Gaikwad was brilliant yesterday, he got his first T20I century and that also when most Indian batters were struggling against the New Australian pace attack.

Found the above image getting circulated on the social media. I don't know how much truth is in the information, I believe if he has asked for more then he was not wrong.

In just a few hours India would be playing the third match of the bilateral series. The Indian team is looking far better that the Australian. I hope they win today and secure the series.

The third T20 match would be played today. India is already leading the bilateral series under the captaincy of SKY. Today if the win the game then they win the series. Something inside me 😏 is saying that they will lose today. I hope the don't but if they do then it would make the series more interesting.

The stars of both the games so far has been Rinku Singh with his batting and Bishnoi with his spin bowling. Jaiswal was out of his league in the last game and I feel he will continue to bat in the same manner. As usual Australia had a bad start to the series and I feel they would make a comeback today.

Hardik Pandya rumour was only a rumour, he stays with GT. GT team still one of the strongest in tourney, this year also we are likely to see MI/CSK/GT in finals.

It seems they traded after the retention deadline passed and trade window extended until December 12.

Hardik returns to MI, Cameron Green moves to RCB

Pretty weird though, so we can't trust the retained list until Dec 12 and GT traded Hardik? From cricketing perspective its worst decision but IPL has been business than cricket.

That was such a fiasco, I kept myself glued to X for this update only, after retentions were confirmed I took sigh of relief because I liked him in GT, it's his territory after all. But, apparently they retained him only to trade him.

Hopefully, Williamson will lead the GT now.

Australia won the toss and chose to bowl first thinking that the dew factor would play an important role in the second half. Seeing Bishnoi and Patel effectively bowling and taking regular wickets shows things did not work as expected by Australia. Indian batting was at its best with Jaiswal leading with explosive batting. Ishaan Kishan has now scored back-to-back half-centuries in this tournament. Australia should win the next match otherwise the interest to watch the bilateral series would be lost.

All of the rumors in regards to major players being released are rumors. It seems they are trying to create a bit of hype before the IPL auction starts. I am not sure why they need the hype.

The IPL trade session is another secondary betting session for gamblers in India. Here in my locality some slum dwellers are betting on the games and trades everyday and earning from them enough that each house member owns an Android phone in addition to a couple of motorbikes. I wonder how much tax evasion these people are doing such that I haven't been able to own my vehicle yet.

In either case I will wait till this trade drama ends, it shuts down all the professionalism in the game in my opinion. Apart from the cute girls who come on TV with these sessions though. Grin

Sum dwellers in India are the once who benefit more than the middle class. Apart from exclusive government policies for them, these guys make a decent amount of daily wages to spend on booze and gambling every day. Engaging in gambling is quite common for them, I remember the time when lottery was quite common in many states. they were the ones who were engaged in the lottery so much that it became quite frequent to hear one of them winning the amount.

the second T20 match will be played today, in the last match Indian bowling and fielding were not up to the mark. Only a few batters batted well and due to Rinku Sing's and SKY's efforts, we won the match. I hope India plays more sensibly today and wins again.

But the surprising news/rumour I saw is Hardik traded to MI for GT took 15cr? If that is true then how do you see that.

If Hardik Pandya is being traded to MI then who do you think would become the Captain of GT. I heard another rumour that Rohit Sharma is being released by MI and most probably would be taken by RCB. If that is true then Hardik would become the Captain of MI.

There is another rumour circulating that Virat would be released by RCB. I doubt that he would be bit if that happens then Rohit would be come the captain of RCB. Now I have zero clue as to which team would be onboarding Virat. If these rumours are true then we would here other big names too in the coming days.

How many of you guys are keeping the track of IPL release, trades and retention?

Tomorrow will be the dead line to submit the official reports so we will get to see how many guys were switched to another franchise and it seems some of the big players to be released like Ben Stokes from CSK, Jofra Archer from MI.

AFTER WATCHING SKY BAT YESTERDAY THIS IS WHAT I NOW THINK ABOUT HIM!

The ghost of defeat in the World Cup has been haunting me and after watching SKY batting so aggressively it is now controlling my mind Grin

WTF!

A batter like him, who can hit 360 degrees, struggling to bat in the World Cup! Watching him bat as he is supposed to play, made me realize how much influence and corruption is still active within BCCI. A board that was like the board of Srilanka suddenly became the richest board because of Modi who conceived the Idea of IPL. If it was not for IPL and JIO cheap internet this board would have died or would have become a laughing stock like PCB is now.

I feel there should be a separate team for the three formats and I think that is what is happening now. The problem is that for all three formats, there is one selection team. I would be right if they have selectors only for T20 cricket and another for ODI. Test cricket will die down soon, we are seeing a big decline in test cricket and we will see it out of cricket team schedules.

Jio Cinema buffers without any reason. I guess they are concentrating only on IPL and not bilateral series. I might be wrong but are you guys facing the same issue as I am facing? I did check with my broadband service provider and they said the same thing it is an issue with the streaming platform.

I faced the similar issue too and its probably due to the app was overcrowded and their servers might crashed because even for the world cup final we get to the viewrship around 5.3cr but in Jio at one point there were 11.2cr viewers and after that it crashed and started to buffer even while having no issues with internet speed. Hopefully jio will resolve the issue in the next match.

India looked like struggling but no, it was clean sweep from Indian team. Yes, the inexpereinced bowling went for lot of runs and Inglis utlized the condition in his favor but still India managed to chase it and it got interested in the final over where three consecutive wickets feel and Rinku again done the job.

Got a bandaid on the big wounds.

I also faced the same buffering issue that is the problem a streaming platform faces when they offer free streaming for an Indian cricket match. BTW, Doordarshan Sports is a free TV channel where you can watch all cricket games played in India.

Yesterday, I felt the bowling was not up to the mark, which might be due to the pitch being a batting paradise. The fielding was sloppy and some easy catches were dropped, not to forget Bishnoi dropping two catches which I felt were not that tough.

Batting was not that up to the mark, except for Ishan Kishan, SKY, and Rinku Singh all of them were trying to hit the ball rather than timing it. Rinku Singh as we all know does well in the lower order and due to his brilliant batting India won the first game. SKY as usual at his best when he plays a T20 match, it would be his first win as a Captain in International cricket. If he had played in the same manner in the finals of the ODIWC we would have won the trophy for the third time.

Indian team is struggling and in the same way, Jio Cinema buffers without any reason. I wanted to hear the English commentary, while I opted for it. The buffering starts and when I select Hindi commentary it works smoothly. Ultimately it does not work with Jio when it is not IPL.
