BCCI is looking for a new coach of all three formats since Rahul Dravid the current coach tenure will end in this June.

Well, that's not the best part Jay Shah said they might go back to their old IPL format prior to impact player rule since it is causing the place for all rounders and also he said impact rule allowed one extra player to be a part of playing XI so it might be decided after this IPL anyway I thought it's worth sharing these news.

Rahul Dravid can still reapply for the position but I don't think he will and after the World Cup Rohit might declare his retirement from white ball cricket. For now with way he has batted in IPL it would better for him to step down as a captain of the side. It would help him to gain the respect that he has been losing due to his bad strike rate in IPL and due to to his fitness.

Impact player rule should be scrapped as it is making IPL less competitive. Champion league being scrapped because there isn't any month left in the year where they can schedule it.

Yes, he can still reapply and he will get accepted again there is no doubt about it. If he is not facing that fatigue and is still fit enough then he should once again apply. What I think in this situation is that he will avoid going through that immense pressure and travel after being a head coach from 2021.

The impact player rule should be scrapped as it has made IPL less engaging, and less competitive, absolutely batters heaven and it is not that useful. There have been many impact players who have been less impacted during the game.

Quote

Shah was non-committal on the continuation of the Impact Player rule in the Indian Premier League (IPL), stating that it will be decided after consultation with captains and coaches. However, he stressed on the significance of the rule, which allows two extra Indian players to be in the XI of an IPL side.

"Impact player was a test case.

Found this meme being circulated on social media and I found it to be retable that why sharing it here. The Indian jersey has a lot of similarities with TKMOC GPL tournament Wink

Yesterday Sanju Samson's out was controversial. I felt he wasn't out but the TV umpire goofed it up and further he has now been fined 30% of match fee because of his argument with the field umpire. This is not the first time that TV umpires have given wrong decision after taking help of the technology. I feel the time has now come to replace TV umpires with AI umpires who will take the right decision.

That was not an out it was a six but the TV umpire goofed up once again. This might be the third or fourth time that a TV umpire gave a out that wasn't an out. I don't understand how do they make such mistakes when they have technology in hand where they can verify their reasoning multiple time. The BCCI should take such incidents in account before selecting the umpires for IPL.

He is in the worst form of his career, he has fitness issues and has the worst stats in this IPL. Considering all the above issues why BCCI still wants Rohit to captain a team which is going play the T20WC. Media and every cricket fan are so much obsessed with Kohli that they forget about Rohit's batting for the last three or four years. If today Kohli retires then it will be an end for Rohit career as he will be forced to retire from all formats of cricket.

I am getting a sense that he will announce his retirement from international cricket or atleast from the Whitehall cricket when this T20 season ends unless he process us wrong and capable of winning an ICC trophy. Kohli still looks good and 35-36 so if he manages his fitness as of now then they are maybe playing him one more cycle just to gain the fame for cricket in Olympics 2028.

Rohit always had a weak link against pacers with the new ball, but his hitting ability is what covered it for long. We should not forget he got a 100 in this year for MI as well against MI.

That is the only century that he has got in IPL 2024. Out of 11 innings he managed to get 326 runs after including that century. His batting abilities in the present time are no matches to what he used to do in his younger days. As a 37 year old this will be his last try to get a World Cup trophy. If this time he is unsuccessful then his PR team won't be able to help him gain sympathy from the country.

I earlier thought that the burden of captaincy is responsible for his decline as a batter. After watching him in IPL it is now evident that it is an overall decline or he is not much involved in net practice. His selection of shots and his timing has gone down as most of the time he gets out by getting caught. His technique is still top class but his overconfidence is not helping him at all as a batter.

Exactly, lacks of confidence is one of the reason for decline in the form but talking about confidence we all knew what happened just before the start of IPL his captaincy got stolen, and we never know it was discussed with him or not but all his body language says he isn't part of the captaincy swap so he is being an outsider for MI in this season.

In ODI World Cup we had MD Shami but in this one we don't have any other bowler of such caliber. Next Rohit Sharma is in bad shape, he has been for sometime now but his PR team has been great in making him look like everything is okay with him. Again he failed to give a good start to MI yesterday. If he is not able to bat in his home ground imagine what will he to in the ICC event abroad.

Rohit's T20 format in particular has been declining like since 2019 and also IPL too but still he can be destructive anyday so I still take a bet with him for some reasons maybe the experience I guess and bowlers will become clueless if he starts connecting the balls which no one can deny.

Indian team became more destructive in WC after Shami replaced Hardik but it has to be compromised with one batter less than they intended to which is what I said has to make changes in the combination if he injured.

Another controversy that erupted as soon as the World Cup squad was announced was the appointment of Hardik Pandya as the Vice Captain of the squad. Ajit Agarkar has now come out with the reason why Hardik Pandya was the given the responsibility. He said 'no replacement for Hardik Pandya'. I think there were replacement

As of now there is no replacement for Hardik on one scale level, Dube can bowl a couple of overs but definitely he is not in the level of Hardik. But I don't feel Hardik should be your third seamer either he should be considered as an option when one bowler is having an off day which can happen to anyone but the current team combination Hardik is the third seamer for sure but if he has to sit out due to injury then the entire team combination has to be changed like what happened in ODI WC.

We have seen how bad his captaincy has been in the IPL and there is a lot of doubt about Agarkar's ability to be the chief selector now.

The controversy only erupted due to his bad captaincy in the IPL otherwise it was known before that he would be the VC of the team. I do not know what has happened to him after the injury he has not been quite in the zone. He is struggling both as a batter and not bowling the way he had before, everything will come to an end if he can play his best against Pakistan that is all Indian fans need to shut their mouth. If they lose the WC then it will not hurt them but if the lose against Pakistan then it will haunt the fans for a long time.

I found this tweet going viral on social media. What do you guys think? What she is saying is a dark reality when I look into the current squad.

Those stars would be really interested to be a part of ICC winning squad and I don't blame them because they are the one who took Indian cricket to this level and we can't deny India once had hope on only one man to win matches now dominating any side in the world no matter in home or away games.

ICC extended the deadline to make changes in the T20 squad upto 25th May, all I wanted to see Rinku in the place of that one extra spinner that they are never going to play at all.

Seems like many Indian cricket fans are not appreciating the enormous effort that the selectors put in to decide which player should be part of the squad. I am not against any player but to me this will be the last time we will see many players playing their last WC. Most of them will retire and will only be available for IPL.

If ICC has extended the date then we might see a few new faces in the squad. I hope those who are deserving should be included in the team. Rituraj Gaikwad is one of them as he is now the proud owner of the orange cap.

Why wasn't Rituraj Gaikwad not considered in place of Yashasvi Jaiswal? I was going through the stats of both batters in IPL 2024 and found out both played same number of innings, which is 9. Rituraj got 447 runs and Jaiswal got 249 runs, out of 249 runs he has only 1 century where as Gaikwad missed by 2 runs. For me Rohit Sharma was the reason why Jaiswal got a position in the squad.

The year 2024 has been very great for Jaiswal in all the formats especially the ENG tour when he stamped his name for the opening slot even though Rutu has been exceptional the number of players competing for opening slot is too much so they ignored Rutu but I expected him to be on the reserves in the place of Gill if the selection purely based on skills and recent form.
