Finally the match between RCB and KKR is postponed because the players from the KKR camp test positive but i am not sure how that happened as i thought they were in a bubble throughout the tournament and it is interesting to see how the BCCI will deal with the issue if more players starts to test positive and how many matches they will be extending or will they be forced to stop the tournament and continue at a later time.

The foreign players will be affected badly as the flights are suspended and some countries has banned even citizens from India and if the BCCI plans to pause the tournament they will be stuck in India until everything is sorted.

I was expecting something like this. They can't just lockup 2,000 people and then do 24x7 surveillance. At least one or two individuals will get tired of the isolation inside the bubble and go out for some adventure. The same thing happened with the PSL as well. And members from multiple franchises have now tested positive for CoVID 19 (CSK and KKR), which means that the infection is spreading inside the bubble. I don't think that the BCCI now has any option other than to postpone the tournament.

As of now the today's match has got postponed. Maybe the next step will be the postpone of the league. Already few players have left the league for health reasons. Ashwin is one among them, and in a tweet Ashwin's wife had mentioned of her family members ten of the tested positive for covid-19. The spread isn't under control, through any means this can happen and has happened.

First of all, the idea of dropping David Warner was wrong. And secondly, in place of Warner they could have added another batsman, and not an all rounder like Mohammad Nabi, who is in very poor form.

I have complete different opinion than you: Warner deserves a break. Mohammad Nabi's addition (just a couple strikes away from getting back the form) is a good move as he will add extra depth in middle order and will bowl decently in middle overs.

Quote from: Sithara007 on May 02, 2021, 10:27:02 PM

I don't know why they are not giving enough chances to Jason Roy and Mujeeb Ur Rahman, despite the poor performances from their regular players.

I agree that Jason Roy should be considered in place of Warner but limited overseas slots a concern. Mujeeb may not find a chance as Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi are already taking care of spin bowling department well enough.

Anyway, half of the IPL is over and I don't think that SRH will be able to qualify for the playoffs with such a squad.

With new captaincy, I guess they may keep trying to push so that to rank top 4 in table. I guess chances are still there for all 8 teams at least mathematically.

I thought Sunrisers Hyderabad is replacing David Warner to accommodate Jason Roy in the opening slot and they are struggling with their bat as well throughout this tournament and they need to strengthen that but they did not make that change instead they included another spinner. Unless they can pick a team and assign specific roles to each players they cannot expect a different result.

I think its unfortunate that most of the tracks are just too good for batting and that provides the most entertainment for the masses. Most teams need reliable batsmen upto no.6 at least. Which most teams have except SRH. The season cant get any worse for them honestly. Even with a strong bowling line up.. on flat tracks its hard to defend a total or contain a team to a small score.

The bowlers are at an disadvantage in the shorter format as the pitch will not aide them and hence bowlers are also changing with the changing times to stay in the game. The problem with SRH is that their top order nor their middle order are consistent and scoring runs. They have the players but the limit of 4 away players in limiting them selection process considerably.

Yeah, I wonder that why they are still playing Vijay Shankar. Kedar Jadav's last year run in CSK was more than enough evidence not to be selected into any team but SRH picked him in auction and his poor show continuous among different franchises.

In my opinion, Sandeep Sharma can be decent pacer but not firing on every match (same goes for Khaleel Ahmed as well).

The reason SRH is loosing the games is discussed by everyone but the sad part is that the team management does not understand their flaws and they are not taking any measures to rectify the situation and pick a winning team. The lack of local talents were a problem for CSK as well in the last season but someone managed to overcome that this season because they signed match winning foreign players and the local players are firing as well.

They fired David Warner and made Kane Williamson the captain. First of all, they need to understand that the problem lies with the team composition. Their middle order and pace bowling lineups are in very poor shape and that is the reason why they are losing matches. Now blaming David Warner for these defeats serve no purpose. They are sticking with the same pace bowling lineup, despite repeated failures. Rather than including Mohammad Nabi, they should have gone for Mujeeb Ur Rahman for this match. Also, Basil Thampi deserves a chance in the place of Sandeep Sharma or Khaleel Ahmed.

In the DC vs PBKS match, I bet on DC. The DC team is quite stable. They have lost just two games this season, both of the matches was very competitive. In today's match, Punjab has given a target of only 166 runs. In the previous match against Punjab, DC won by batting for 195 runs. Hopefully, DC will win easily today.

After 10 overs, Delhi capital score 87 run by losing only 1 wicket. Prithvi Shaw played a beneficial inning for 39 runs off just 22 balls. The match is completely under DC's control at the moment. If no miracle happens then DC is going to get another easy win.

They are stuck with a few useless players, who are essentially good for nothing. Here is a list to start with:

1. Vijay Shankar
2. Kedar Jadhav
3. Sandeep Sharma
4. Abdul Samad
5. Abhishek Sharma
6. Shahbaz Nadeem
7. Siddarth Kaul
8. Khaleel Ahmed

Essentially they are playing with 5 or 6 good players instead of 11, and that can be a big handicap in IPL. The injury for Natarajan was like a nail on their coffin, as he was one of the few quality local pacers they had. And firing David Warner was a horrible move and it could have a bad impact on the team morale for the remaining matches.

All others provided good show on some matches on different years but now seeming like lost their form hence continuously giving them chances will definitely make SHR to rank at bottom of the table for sure.

Their bowling department look okay but they got serious problem in batting department and particularly Indian talent pool is big let down for them. I don't see anything drastic changes in their remaining campaign, unless these indian batters up their game except Shankar and Jadhav, i have virtually no expectations from these 2 players in batting department.

I was literally shocked to see SRH bidding for Kedar Jadhav, and that too for such a huge amount. During the last season he was like a curse to the Chennai Super Kings, and played a large part in many of their defeats. This time around SRH seems to be cursed with his presence. So far he has made a grand total of 40 runs from 4 matches. I don't understand the point in including players such as Jadhav and Vijay Shankar in the playing XI. It is not going to hurt them, in case they include Jason Roy in place of Nabi and Priyam Garg for Jadhav.

Pretty boring stuff from the Sunrisers. Bowlers, batters everyone disappointing their fan base. I have no hope left for them in this season, they tried everything including sacking their captain which was wrong move from the start anyway.

Can anyone tell me why Anrich Nortje is still not playing for Delhi Capitals? The last time I heard, he was embroiled in some quarantine formality and was supposed to be available from the 4th match onwards. What happened after that? Punjab has started very slowly, probably due to the absence of KL Rahul. His replacement (Prabhsimran Singh) failed and therefore the burden to stabilize the innings fell on Mayank Agarwal. But at this point, their run rate is below 6 runs per over.

But why Warner didn't played in this game, I saw that he will contribute to the team even though there is change in captaincy but firing him from the playing XI is a big blow for them only because is the one of the destructive and consistent T20 opener and also in IPL, he got the many record under his cap but one bad season then you will be fired is really sucks.

And what happened to KL Rahul, I don't know anything about it but Mayank is captaining PBKS today against DC!

Two matches in IPL today and the only match that will generate any interest is the first one between RR and SRH. SRH won the toss and choose to bowl first. It can be a good decision because RR might not be able to get a competitive score on the scoreboard. The second match is between DC and Punjab and the chance of DC wining it is very high.

You were completely wrong. "RR might not be able to get a competitive score"? Seriously? RR made a total of 220 in 20 overs, with Jos Buttler making 124. I don't understand the decision to bowl first, when the SRH bowlers are in pathetic form. I don't know what was going through the mind of Kane Williamson. SRH's strength is their batting, and they should have opted to bat first.

Yes, I was I never expected them to go beyond 150. This is simply unbelievable they scored more than 200. All credit goes to butler, what an amazing innings. RR already had the psychological advantage with the massive score. It was clearly evident with SRH batting.

Jos Buttler absolutely brutal today with his batting, scoring 124 in just 64 balls where smashing 11 boundaries and 8 sixes. His maiden T20 ton carries Rajasthan to a massive total 220. Pathetic decision making to ball first, this is what Kane Williamson captaincy? Hyderabad chase that down? No chance!
