This year's IPL viewership has dropped. In comparison with the previous edition, the TV rating (TVR) of IPL 2022 has dropped by 33%. This should be cause for concern for BCCI. The season looks boring this time around as compared to previous years. Cricket League must innovate to attract and increase its fans.

Your thoughts on IPL 2022!

Yes, it has dropped significantly and there can be multiple reasons for it such as lengthy scheduling of games, too much cricket, and one of the major can be the addition of new teams. These signs can hamper the revenue of BCCI in the future. I think the major reason might be scheduling, they should reduce it to one month game rather than two months.
There are so many teams and its hard to remember which team is playing against which time. Our local TV channels doesn't broadcast IPL so I get update from the forum - but then again there is some interesting news which catches the attention, Why has the viewership decreased? any reason?

I’ll add one more reason and that’s overconfidence from the management in the selection of the squad during the auctions, because as you’ll rightly said there was absolutely no reason to hold onto Pollard.

Furthermore even after having the home advantage they have suffered defeats which is really bizarre, and now I feel that they should change the lineup and experiment player’s with an eye on the next season, because it’s evidently clear that the playing 11 isn't good enough and some of them need to be dropped.
Not sure about overconfidence but they did messed up their auction, specially not having any quality back up seamer. One of the reason they are not including 4th foreign player in the squad and after they dropped Tim David because of 6 batter + 5 bowler combination, they are playing with only 2 foreign players (Brevis +Pollard) and Pollard is out form too.

Batting lineup looks good to me tho, they have 3-4 inform batters atm Brevis +SKY+ Tilak (add Kishan too).

The main reason for MI's lose is not choosing the correct players.
Also there are no backup option to make runs, if MI looses 5 wickets.
Accoring to me, they should have played Markande instead of Unadkat, as there were 3-4 fast bowlers (Including pollard), and 1 spinner.
So addition of Markande might help Mumbai, to slow down the pace of opponent team's batting.
Nevertheless, i guess it's an end for MI, still it will be fan's fav team.
Mumbai's management made a mistake in picking players. They do not have a good finisher batsman. Pollard is an experienced player. But he is not performing well now. We have seen his poor performance in the last few seasons. Mumbai's biggest weakness is that their bowling lineup is very weak. Apart from Bumrah, there is no other experienced bowler in the team. Mumbai Indians have lost every match due to poor bowling.

I agree with you. There is no other experienced bowler on the Mumbai team except Bumrah. Mumbai's poor bowling has been well visible in every match. Out of the five matches, Mumbai has bowled first in two matches and in these two matches, the opponent has given a target of more than 190 runs. In the other three matches, the opponents have been able to win quite easily by batting against Mumbai's target. Mumbai set a target of 162 against Kolkata. And Kolkata won the match in just 16 overs. It is easy to guess from this that Mumbai's bowling lineup is very weak.

IPL is no doubt the number one cricket league. No other league has the same level of popularity.

Even if the tv rating of IPL is decreased a bit, but i don't think the revenune of IPL is decreased. Due to the long schedule and more matches, its hard to beleive that IPL can lose the reveune.

There are many things associated with overall revenue, TV rating is not the only that decide how much will be revenue. With 10 teams means more Matches and more TV hours which in turn means more revenue from sponsorship. IPL management have increased teams defiantly to increase the revenue.

I also think that the TV rating of IPL has decreased due to the long schedule of IPL. There are now 10 teams in the IPL. It will take about two months for the IPL season to end. And so the spectators have lost some interest in the IPL. Probably the popularity of IPL and TV rating will increase in the knockout round. IPL is still the No. 1 franchise league in the world, even though the TV rating has dropped a bit.

They kicked out Suresh Raina from the team, else he would have been a better choice compared to Jadeja. But still, I agree that no one will be able to replace Dhoni. LOL.. when he was the captain of the Indian team, I used to hate him. But now we got a pathetic excuse for a human being (Kohli) as the captain and I realize how valuable Dhoni was. Maybe the CSK management should talk to Dhoni and ask him to lead the team until a suitable replacement is found. He can mentor Jadeja until the latter is ready for the job.

Its because of Dohni good human character that he has huge fan following even in Pakistan. I think he made a wise decision of stepping down as Captain since he is already 40 years and CSK must look for suitable replacement in this season or next one. As 40 years old player cant play for long. Give Jadeja  few more chances may be he can improve.

Mumbai Indians will play against Punjab Kings today after losing four matches. Punjab's batting line-up is strong enough while Mumbai's bowlers are performing poorly. Even Mumbai has lost four matches only because of the poor performance of the bowlers. So if Mumbai's bowlers can play well in today's match, Mumbai will get the first win of the season. Otherwise, they will lose this match as usual.
Which is your favorite team for today's match?

I think Mumbai Indians are going to be really determined to win this match because they have not won a match in this IPL. I really don't think the bowlers of Mumbai Indians pose enough threat to the batsman of Punjab kings but I think the batting of Mumbai is quite good. I really want to see Mumbai Indians win this match because they really need it and when will obviously make things interesting going ahead in this tournament.
Unfortunately, MI have lost the match. Punjab played good in this match. They scored a good total for winning the match. Mumbai started very well but they didn't able to play continuously by taking wicket in their hand. Unnecessary run out and some mistakes are important factors behind losing the match.

Honestly Dohni is one of the greatest player sub continent has ever produced and you cant compare him with anyone. He is liked both as a player and as a human being. CSK is badly missing there ex captian as they just won first game of the tournament after 4 consecutive loses. If Ravindra Jadeja continue this form as captain then he will be rightly replaced in next season.

So far, I am disappointed with the performance of Ravindra Jadeja as the captain of CSK. He is no match for MS Dhoni. They had a good outing yesterday, against one of the weaker teams. But their weak link seems to be the bowling. Payers like Mukesh Choudhary are in no position to fill the vacuum left by Deepak Chahar (the latest update is that Chahar has been ruled out for this season, due to back injury). CSK spent a total of ₹140 million on Chahar and his absence will have a huge impact upon them.

Honestly Dohni is one of the greatest player sub continent has ever produced and you cant compare him with anyone. He is liked both as a player and as a human being. CSK is badly missing there ex captian as they just won first game of the tournament after 4 consecutive loses. If Ravindra Jadeja continue this form as captain then he will be rightly replaced in next season.

Chennai Super kings was finally able to win the first match in the IPL 2022 but is it too late for them? 

Robin Uthappa scored 88 and Shivam Dube got 95 runs due to which they were able to make a decent score. Royal Challengers Bangalore did manage to make over 190 runs but the target was too big for them.

Lol RCB is everything but not a weak team. Panuti would be right term imo ( I felt they missed the Harshal patel yesterday, badly).

As far as captaincy goes, it's true Jadeja is no match for Thala but you can't point finger on Jadeja either. He's new at this role and this is the first time he's leading any team.

My worry is, captaincy taking a toll on his batting but it also happening with other captains.

Chennai won the first match of the tournament today. They lost four matches in a row. Today Royal Challengers Bangalore was a tough opponent. But Chennai gave a huge target of 217 runs. Robin Uthappa's unbeaten innings of 95 off 50 balls and Shivam Dube's unbeaten innings of 95 off 46 balls enabled Chennai to give such a big target.

It doesn't look like RCB has tried to win the match. They just wanted to reduce the run gap. Bangalore could have won if the top-order players could have played better. Virat Kohli and du Plessis did not play well today. Bangalore has lost by only 23 runs till the session.
