The Indian team left for UAE for IPL. All wearing PPE kits now so hope everything goes well. https://www.instagram.com/krunalpandya_official/?utm_source=ig_embed

Had read earlier that there will be audience in the stadium. Don't know if it's confirmed now that viewers will be allowed to attend.

Quote

Chennai Super Kings(CSK) – Taj Dubai(adjacent to Burj Kalifa)
Kolkata Knight Riders(KKR) – RITZ Carlton, Abu Dhabi
Mumbai Indians(MI) – St. REGIS, Abu Dhabi
Royal Challengers Banglore(RCB) – Waldorf Astoria, Dubai
Sunrisers Hyderabad(SRH) – RITZ Carlton, Dubai
Kings XI Punjab – Sofitel The Palm, Dubai

Which ground is better and beneficial for the teams?

Australia has been given the all clear to travel to England for the T20 series which starts next month. I'm happy to see this as it looked like Australia wouldn't be playing any cricket this year. England will no doubt be the favourites as the Australian team have not played a game in many months where as England has had match fitness so its going to be interesting to see how well Australia performs in this series.

I also check this time no channel providing any match in our country as its really shocking even ten sports is also not giving any limelight even its very popular here and few players also involve from here but no protocol mean now we have to wait for next test which is going to start tomorrow and hopefully this time rain is not going to hurt as its doing for some time.

Ten Sports didn't got the broadcasting rights for CPL 2020. It is with Star Sports. At least in India, CPL is being shown live in four different channels at the same time: Star Sports 1, Star Sports 2, Star Sports 1 HD and Star Sports 2 HD. Even now, they are showing the highlights of yesterday's match. CPL is very popular in India, they can't afford to ignore it.

Caribbean premier league started and i do not think there are many fans here.

CPL is quite popular in India, as some of the West Indian IPL stars take part in it. But this time, it is going to be hard for them to attract Indian viewership. Everyone is busy after the IPL, which is about to start in a few weeks time. I watched the highlights of yesterday's matches and they were very exciting. Shimron Hetmyer managed to hit a terrific half century for the Guyana Amazon Warriors (vs St Kitts and Nevis Patriots). Also, Keemo Paul managed to nab 4 wickets from as many overs.

Australia tour of England got the green light from the both boards and they are ready to play 3 T-20 and 3 ODI series next month (3rd Sep- 16th Sep). Schedule clashing a bit with the IPL and some premiere players might miss few games of the IPL due to quarantine rules.
Australia tour of England in September confirmed

Last week we were discussing the implication of this series on the IPL. Now more clarification come from the one franchise (RCB), no 6 days quarantine for Aussie and England players once they reach UAE. let's see if they miss game or not..

Reason : They are already playing cricket in bio secure environment.

England, Australia players may not have to miss start of IPL

Dream XI, a fantasy sports company has won the bid of sponsorship for IPL. But the amount they'd be spending is much less than what IPL was expecting. IPL was hoping for something around 300 crores while the largest bid from Dream XI was 250 crore. The long term sponsor of IPL, VIVO had to back away from their sponsorship due to anti Chinese sentiments on the government and public level. While Dream XI do still consist a minority stake of Tencent (about 20%).

I am actually shocked to see that a fantasy sports company was able to bid 250 crore while the rest of the companies failed to do so, i am confused how they are going to raise that kind of money as i have heard about them because of their fantasy picks and the constant advertisement they forward because i registered with them a long back but i had no idea that they had this kind of money to sponsor the IPL.

Its really no shocked for me because India is cricket crazy country and this site is showing they have 80 Million users so mean if they have 100 Rs average profit from them in a year then you can check they have nearly 8 Billion Rs so its possible they have enough funds and can afford to sponsor this easily its really big business now like Europe where peoples are very crazy for soccer and spent millions Euro for fantasy teams and games.

The irony here is that Dream 11 is also backed by Chinese company known as Tencent. They have a stake of about 10 percent in it. I am still not able to digest then why there was an uproar about IPL being sponsored by VIVO?

Was it because it was 100 percent owned by Chinese or was it because Indians were against Chinese money?

There was just time against this deal so happen otherwise I am feeling this was ok for BCCI to have VIVO as main sponsor now they are losing some good money or may be this was VIVO management decision because mostly these things used just for political power or own sack if Dream 11 is also chines investors backed then surely its matter of surprise for me as well.

10 percent stake is minor ownership. If you have the money, then even you can purchase a 10% stake in Dream XI. Recently Facebook purchased a 9.99% stake in Reliance Jio. Does that make Jio an American owned company? Chinese investors have significant stakes in almost all of the major corporations. But the majority stake is still owned by the public and the other non-Chinese promoters.

You need to view in the context why VIVO withdrew from the sponsorship for a year, if people are that patriotic you need to let go of every Chinese investment rather than picking and choosing and Dream XI has major investment from Chinese conglomerate Tencent and they are a big investor in diverse sectors. I am not a fan of cancel culture and i do not think that will help anyone. The fact remains that Indian companies where not willing to take the bid as the BCCI tried to lure Reliance and TATA but they reject the offers.

The BCCI should be happy about this. During the sponsorship auctions last time, Vivo made a bid of ₹440 crore per year, followed by Oppo (₹286 crore). None of the other brands made a bid worth more than ₹200 crore at that time. Therefore I would say that the BCCI got a good deal this time. Now the question is whether Dream 11 will get the expected returns from this deal or not.

The viewership would increase I guess compared to previous years so as there has being no cricket matches for few countries in last 6 months. So fans are awaiting to see them on field and in IPL all major players will come and also since still people continue to work from home so the TV or internet would be on along with the work too. So, I am expecting the Dream 11 would make good returns as well.

Viewership will increase considerably that is for sure, most of us are avoiding to go outside and IPL would be the first and the last big cricket tournament of 2020. Naturally every cricket fan would be watching it to feed their cricket addiction.

For pace they favor younger bowlers tho, Lungi ngidi, Deepak Chahar comes to my mind and if my memory serves well then Sam Curran and Hazelwood were part of their team too. Bravo +Watson are medium pacer anyway so not counting them.

Bowling looks OK for CSK. I am more concerned about the batting though. They lack a batsmen of the calibre of Glenn Maxwell/Colin Munro/Aaron Finch, who can score at a strike rate of above 150 regularly. The current CSK batting lineup (Raina/Jadhav/Watson/Rayudu/Vijay) are not exactly known for power hitting. Only Faf du Plessis comes within that category.

CSK should re brand their franchise and change their name into Chennai Retired Super King (CRSK). Close to 95% players are retired but as a team still, A force to reckon with.

Good one. This isn't anything new though. CSK were always filled with legends who performed well as a unit under MSD all these years even though many people thought some of the players should simply retire(Watson etc).

They primarily rely on Chahar, Tahir, Harbhajan and Thakur these days based on what I observed in recent editions. They are a pretty good combo together.

LOL!
Unless those retired players are unable to perform they can still keep the same name. They have a very powerful team, experienced and intelligent players, this year also they are the favourites to win the tournament.

Hmm.. I am more skeptical about CSK now. They have legendary players such as Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Suresh Raina, Harbhajan Singh, Faf du Plessis and Shane Watson. But around half the players are above 36 years age and some are close to 40 (Shane Watson, MS Dhoni, Imran Tahir, Harbhajan.etc). For the spin bowlers, this may not affect their performance. But for the batsmen and pace bowlers, their ability to perform in the shorter version of the game decreases with age.
