Many people were supporting Chennai super kings just because fo MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina and Ravindra Jadeja too had their own fan following. Without these players, there wouldn't be a large number of people cheering for it. As the league is not going to be a home and away, People from Chennai are not going to go crazy just because they carry their name, only a few players like Murali Vijay and Narayan Jagadeseen actually represents Chennai.

That's not true!!!

I am a regular visitor to India, and I have seen a special affinity of Tamils with CSK. Almost everyone in Tamil Nadu support the Chennai Super Kings, and equate it with their own state team. And CSK do have a fair number of Tamil players in its squad. Murali Vijay and Jagadeesan are not the only ones. Onl thing is that they are not contracted by the CSK. But they do travel and train with the other members of the CSK squad.
If someone thinks only people from chennai supports CSK then they are wrong, as per the fan map and twitter analysis they had supports all over the world and RCB also had such type of support even though they are not winning the title not even for their qualifiers.

Did anyone see the advertisement for IPL 2021. Its a masterpiece of marketing which begins with a elderly Sardarji doctor coming out of his car after a hard days work and people dropping flower petals on him. Then they have a voiceover about how COVID-19 has changed our world. How it has increased distances but has brought us closer.
And then comes the amazing team colors and the voiceover about "Fir se aa raha hai"...Ohh, how it warms the heart after such a long winter of desperation. God, I'll miss the audience noise on the telecasts though. The ad just randomly came on my feed somewhere and i just can't find it on Google or youtube now. If anybody comes across it, do share a link

Go to Star sports official Youtube channel and you will be able to see IPL 2020 ads. Here is the link  - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmqfX0S3x0I3uwLkPdpX03w

I did not find the sardarji ad that you are quoting here but found few others uploaded few hours ago.
The advertisement is heartwarming but I don't quite understand the concept clearly, can someone explain the meaning of that advertisement?

Just noticed this guys. What an idiot.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/sportscafe.in/v/s/sportscafe.in/cricket/articles/2020/sep/05/twitter-reacts-to-alex-sly-carey-and-glenn-maxwell-convincing-umpires-to-go-upstairs/amp%3famp_js_v=0.1&usqp=mq331AQFKAGwASA%253D#ampf=

Alex Carey embarrassed himself by doing something so foolish and his batting performance led to Australia losing. I have lost all respect for this guy. I don't blame Maxwell though since he was unaware of this crap.

Raina quit IPL2020 on account of his family issue but Bhajji skip IPL2020 because of corona pandemic, yet very reasonable point to get understand. We must respect their perspective anyway it's difficult to imagine CSKs without Raina and Bhaji as a fan, I keep missing both of them. Can't do anything for that except supporting them.

Their absence is something that can't be reversed. But at the same time, CSK without these players is not recognizable. These 4-5 players form the soul of CSK. I am talking about Suresh Raina, Harbhajan Singh, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja.etc. New players may be able to replace them, but the fans may not be comfortable in supporting a squad which looks drastically different.

Was expecting close game but in favor of OZ  Undecided Sad

that we are missing out Joe Root, Ben Stokes and Jason Roy.
Joe Root can't make into the T-20 squad anyway  Grin, England already got fair amount of T-20 specialist.

I have just one question why was Lubuschagne out
They trying to fit him in the limited overs squad but competition is bit tough and there is common consensus among the CA selectors that he's more suitable for Test format,
Oh man cannot believe Australia lost this match. It ended up to he such a close encounter. Looks like the lack of recent form for the middle order was the reason for this defeat for sure. They haven't played any game from quite a few months and therefore wanted for some time to settle in but almost all of them got exposed at the time when they were expected to just bat and win quickly. Many must have lost their in this match. Tongue

Everything going wrong with CSK. Players tested positive, Raina left and now Bhajji gone. What's going on?

CSK squad is perhaps the most elderly out of all the eight sides in the IPL. Almost half of their squad is aged 30 or above. This can give them an advantage when experience is considered. But at the same time, it makes them more vulnerable to injuries and other player issues. Raina and Harbhajan used to be integral parts of CSK for so many years. Their absence will be felt.

Yesterdays game was a spoiler I never expected England to win it. Though it was pretty close and I thought England would not win it yet they did because they have been playing continuously and are in high spirit after winning all of their tournaments.

Cannot believe that England actually managed to win by 2 runs against such a strong Australian side. Australia seriously botched this one. Carey messed up along with other middle order batsmen. The Australians must be pretty pissed right now.

Warner and Finch were awesome as usual, but the rest were disappointing.

CSK will manage somehow since they have many popular backup players. They probably prepared for these issues sometime back due to the pandemic.
Today Australia was really on fire in all departments but sadly at the end they lost by just 2 runs I have just one question why was Lubuschagne out because if you are going Maxwell as bowler then surely you must have one more batsman instead of going with bowler which was not helpful hopefully now they will think about this and bring him in which could be very helpful in batting.

@Indymoney Australia paid the price for being overconfident as they believed that they could easily beat England, but hopefully this loss will serve as a wake up call for them, and now I believe that they’ll be more focused in the next two games. Furthermore the IPL situation doesn’t look too good because even Malinga has withdrawn himself from the league, and if more star player’s continue to withdraw from IPL then the league will loose it’s competitive edge.

Australia messed this one big time and the odds at one point for England to win were over 14 and i too messed up big time after England was restricted to 162 runs and i was expecting Australia to win it easily and with the start they got i thought they will be cruising smoothly and then everything changed suddenly and Australia just forgot how to score runs and i expected Stoinis to score boundaries when the asking rate was climbing and he too missed out big time. I was foolish enough to back Australia after they are returning after a long gap while England was playing back to back series and that was the main difference in the match.

ENG 152/7. Only Butler and Malan did good with the bat for England. Aussies have been playing brilliantly today with some exceptional fielding. Expecting a target less than 170 for the Aussies, now that Malan has got out.  

Edit: 163 runs to win for the Aussies. I think ENG did OK considering that we are missing out Joe Root, Ben Stokes and Jason Roy.
I don't think Australians are facing much of a problem from England's bowlers. Both of the batsmen are batting quite impressively. I think the total scored by England is fairly low considering the hitting capacity that Australia have. A few more over without a wicket would mean end of match for England much before the result. Aussies have a great depth in their batting order but yeah england team is a bit in touch while Australians are playing after a long break so maybe England could try to turn the match.
Can't agree more. But I don't think England could turn the match now because Aussies only need 72 runs in 10 overs with 10 wickets in hand. The opening partnership is going really well and solid. And I don't see much pressure from any of the English bowlers either. I think Aussies are going to win this match  very easily by 10 or maybe 8 wickets
Last 15 balls completely change momentum of this match as 4 wickets down and now England feeling much better then Australia Even Stonies on crease but now 20 balls and 29 runs is really entertaining end of this match Now if Australia lost one more wicket then surely they are going out of this match.

For this edition, record viewership may be there. But it can have an impact on IPL 2021, which is scheduled for just 4 months after the end of IPL 2020. There is going to be audience fatigue, and the TV viewership may get impacted. I am of the opinion that the ICC could have conducted the T20 World Cup this year, rather than allowing the IPL to proceed.
A Worldcup tournament played behind closed doors would definitely be not that interesting to watch with empty stands. So IMO it's good that the T20 WorldCup was postponed. But I didn't want the IPL to happen too because of the pandemic conditions. But here we are waiting for the IPL to start in 2 weeks time.

Its already very late for England as Aussies 98/1 in 11 overs mean they are out of game today we have real Aussies power first in bowling and fielding and now in batting they are much better then Pakistan in all fields so England out in all departments hopefully they will give their best in coming matches.
