I’ve come across few people being really mad at Dhoni for sending Moeen Ali and Jadeja to bat instead of himself coming to bat, Which I don’t disagree but I think some of you all really under estimating how much of a game changer Jadeja can be in those situations because we’ve seen it in previous season where he scored around 37runs in an over or something. We all love dhoni and don’t hate me for saying this but his time is up and even he knows that which could be the reason why he understands and avoids being in that place himself.
Dhoni is only the brain of CSK but he doesn’t add much value to the batting lineup as some of you all like to believe.

That's alright. But I feel like with time they should improve the quality. After all the business is earning more and more money as days go by. The service that they have given till now was ok considering the time period. But with the growing competition in the market, they should improve themselves. Otherwise, some other competition is going to do it better and also get a better deal for broadcasting.
Right now, I don't think that there is any real competition for FANCODE. Other OTT platforms (Jio Cinema, Hotstar, SONY LIV, Amazon Primevideo.etc) are focused on international and high profile franchise T20 leagues. Fancode is the only platform that focuses on little known tournaments such as the Mizoram T20 League and Capricorn Womens Quadrangular Series. Their viewer-base is not very large, but it's quite loyal. A lot of people use Fancode to place bets on little known leagues and follow the matches live to see how their bets turn out.
I hardly watch matches there, maybe some Women's cricket here n there, that's it. Tbh I find their quality quite good as far as streaming is concerned with virtually zero lag, maybe they also use 60 fps similar to Amazon/JIO.
Video/audio quality depends on the main broadcasters/providers of events. These folks direct their feed towards FANCODE so can't blame the FANCODE.
Yeah... same here as well. I watch a few matches when I feel really bored. But in case you are used to the high quality streams from SONY LIV or Amazon PrimeVideo, then it will take some time to get adjusted to the low quality in FANCODE. But I agree, the quality can differ widely depending on the main broadcaster. In most cases though, they have just 1-2 camera angles, and the quality is not that great. But given the variety and lack of downtime, after 1.5 years of being a subscriber, I am satisfied with their service. Video/audio quality depends on the main broadcasters/providers of events.

Ideally, they should send Ravindra Jadeja and Moeen Ali ahead of Shivam Dube. But during yesterday's match these two came to bat when the target was out of grasp for the Chennai Super Kings. After the initial 10 overs, the CSK required run rate was close to 13 runs per over, thanks to some ultra-slow batting by Devon Conway. I don't know what was going through his mind, but Conway is the no.1 reason why they lost yesterday. Sub-standard bowling played it's part for sure. Akash Singh and Tushar Deshpande represent perhaps the weakest opening ball pair for any of the franchises.
Why would they remove Shivam Dubey from a batting position where he has been very effective? He has scored 3 consecutive half century playing in that position. The CSK ballers have been quite effective. I guess you did not see the last few overs when Dhruv Jurel and Devdutt Padikkal, were hitting boundaries on a yorker ball. it was their exceptional batting that helped RR get over 200 runs otherwise the target would have been in the range of 170 - 180.
Akash Singh and Tushar Deshpande indeed represent the weakest opening ball pair but their stats are changing rapidly. Devon Conway was out after playing just 16 balls I do not think he wasted a lot of balls. The problem was the middle overs when Adam Zampa and Ashwin started bowling, this led to the asking RR going above 10 runs an over. CSK lost a total of 5 important wickets to these two spinners. It was the spin bowling attack that caused CSK to lose the match.
Ghanta Bc 
Na Dhoni aaya na match jeete lol
But yeah, Dubey ji going well this season, a real spin basher and doing justice to his hard-hitting talent. Although he still needs to do a lot more work against seamers if he wants more recognition.

What impressed me was the power packed agressive hitting of Shivam Dubey. He has be consistent for the last three matches.

after 1.5 years of being a subscriber, I am satisfied with their service.
I also took a subscription last year, cheap price and it's worth it so agree.
RR spinners helped them win the match against CSK. I also never expected RR to set a target of more than 200 runs. All thanks to Dhruv Jurel & Devdutt's agressive batting in the end. For CSK the bowling was very sloppy & so was the fielding in the last 5 overs.
What impressed me was the power packed agressive hitting of Shivam Dubey. He has be consistent for the last three matches. If Devon Conway had played well then the outcome of yesterday's would have been different, I guess.

Same! As far as Thala is hitting some maximum and playing 10-15 balls, it's all blockbuster. I won't mind even if they lose the match.
I am the biggest fan of two Indian cricketers, the first one is Sachin Tendulkar and the next is MSD. These two guys have changed the face of Indian cricket. I am praying every time whenever CSK plays that MSD comes up in the batting order till now it has not happened. I hope he does it today and we can again see him delivering what he was known for in his international career.

Pakistan biggest issue in t20 cricket is lack of best hitter. Pakistani openers Rizwan and babar are not suitable for t20 match. They wanted to score with ball which is considered bad in t20 format. This is the reason Pakistan very rare you will see Pakistan team 200+ score. Their bowling lineup is strong but you cannot win t20 matches without hard hitters and these hitters should be consistent in scoring.
Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam are their best players even in the recently concluded PSL, they are not having the best strike rate but they are consistent players. May be they can shift their batting positions or one can be the anchor and the other can start smashing the bowlers from the start. May be a lack of team planning is the reason because they have some quality players but not able to perform during crucial moments. Pakistan biggest issue in t20 cricket is lack of best hitter.

The Afghanistan team was underestimated by Pakistan. Perhaps this was a series Pakistan management thought they would easily win. But Pakistan's performance against Afghanistan was terrible. And they were badly defeated. The team also failed to play well against New Zealand.
The only weakness of the Pakistan team in the last few years was their batting line-up. The performance of the batsmen was completely erratic. But now Pakistan's bowlers are also not performing well. This is why Pakistan could not win the series against New Zealand. Pakistan's performance is deteriorating day by day. On the other hand, teams like Bangladesh and Afghanistan are becoming stronger.

Fakhar zaman, Haris Sohail and other top hitters should be given more chances to improve. If they settled in this format I believe that This will be world best strong team.
What the heck are the CSK management thinking sending Ali and Jadeja ahead of Dhoni who is in great form? Also, how the heck is Rayudu an impact player again and again? Poor planning overall!
Jaiswal, Jurel and Padikkal played really well. RR outplayed CSK in all departments to rise to the top of the table despite their recent losses.

Mistakenly came across the Deaf IPL league on FANCODE.
Unpopular opinion but have to say, to the popular belief that Deaf folks are a nice bunch is not true at all
. Kasam se just saw the bowler and company cursing (with sign language) the fielder when he misfielded.

And this is one of the reasons why I decided to renew my subscription. However the video/audio quality is not top-notch. The quality is comparable to what you get in YouTube live streams. And the annual subscription fee comes to ₹699 per year (around $8), and it doesn't put a hole in your pocket. Today I enjoyed watching the Mizoram T20 League match between Gorkha Cricket Club and Ramhlun Venglai Cricket Club. A majority of Indians don't know where Mizoram is located, but I was satisfied with the quality of play. Quality of video was OK, and the commentatory was quite good.

Another day to watch MSD play. I hope he comes before Sir Jadeja and display a few power shots against RR.

Yesterday while watching the match between KKR & RCB I found another Indian spin talent. I am talking about Suyash Sharma, a 19 year old guy with a bright future. I went ahead and check his stats and found out of the total 6 IPL matches that he has played he took 9 wickets. He has an economy of 8.12 which is acceptable in T20 format with an average of 21.67. The only drawback with this guy is that he cannot bat still the next time India's T20 team is announced you can expect his name on that list.
Another day to watch MSD play. I hope he comes before Sir Jadeja and display a few power shots against RR. I fill the match would be interesting as both these teams are playing very well. Another match that can be big scoring and batters friendly.

I am not agreed with this Pakistan underestimate Afghanistan because if you are able to go through streets then surely you will have idea common Pakistani have enough knowledge of cricket, and they rated Afghanistan as dangerous team for these two formats ODI and T20i but here blunder done by Pakistani management and I have feeling they give series to them for having some soft gesture but fail because they never learn from their mistakes which they have done in 1999 World Cup as they give Bangladesh match for having test cap, but things were surely gone in wrong side form Bangladesh side same happened here.The only weakness of the Pakistan team in the last few years was their batting line-up.

As they have enough players pool and sending mostly player which were completely new in International cricket this was the biggest blunder, and they face the consequences now we have good win from New Zealand side in last T20i which is surely impressive thanks to new Chapman which is now having spot into ODI side as well after giving heroics performance in T20i series.
Newzealand is a very sensible and good team and they have proven themselves that they can play good with new players too. Their recent performance with Pakistan is worth appreciating.

Virat Kohli is making the best contribution to the Royal Challenger Bangalore team in today's match. As an opening batsman he is often on the way to half-centuries, but the rest of the batsmen have not performed very well. After performing well in the previous matches, Maxwell could not stand his ground in this match and considering other aspects, his team including Virat Kohli is often under wicket pressure. Currently, if this pair can survive, there is definitely a possibility of Kolkata Knight Riders winning. Kolkata Knight Riders must now attack with the spinner ball if they want to win from the bowling side.
KKR won by 21 runs by defeating RCB and the chances of KKR winning the tournament were alive. The Player of the Match is Varun Chakaravarthy by outstanding performance in which he took 3 key wickets while conceding only 27 runs. Jason Roy for his amazing fifty and Nitish Rana provided the foundation for KKR nnings with their crucial 57 and 48 run performance respectively. Although Virat Kohli 57 ball innings kept the RCB team hopes alive the KKR bowlers were able to hold them to a score of 179 which ultimately proved to be insufficient. After 4 straight losses this victory will definitely increase KKR confidence and give them the much needed momentum they need to progress to the tournament next roundKohli done good job and have good inning at important time, but this inning was also not enough to give them better result after 12 overs KKR bowlers change the match momentum and not allowed RCB batsmen to play freely which was big surprise because I had never been having thoughts about KKR bowlers can do performance like this but from here they are impressive.
Rinku Sing gave a brilliant performance in one match to give Kolkata victory. But he is not able to play well consistently. Also I am very annoyed with Narayan Jagadeesan's performance. He was able to collect 27 runs in yesterday's match. Although it looked like a good enough collection, he scored 27 runs off 29 balls. His strike rate was less than 100. The Kolkata bowlers were able to bowl some controlled bowling in this match. That's why they won this match. If the bowlers did not perform well, Kolkata would have conceded their fifth defeat in a row.
The credit for yesterday victory goes to Jason Roy and the captain Nitish Rana, without there contribution KKR wont be able to give a target of 200 runs. Royal Challengers Bangalore are too much dependent on Kohli, Faf du Plessis and Maxwell. Yesterday Kohli was able to score a fifty buy Faf du Plessis and Maxwell didn't clicked. Still nothing much to worry about for RCB as they are very much up in points table.
