Indian Premier League 2024 (22nd March-29th May)

[NYRB]

Might be an unpopular opinion. Tristan Stubbs is a better bat than David Warner and Mitch Marsh in this format of the game. Dont think Delhi missed a trick there by getting him into this side.

 

[NYRB]

Delhi finish on 221/8 against RR . RR have the batting power to chase this down although its a decent score from Delhi.

 

[NYRB]

The case for JFM is irresistible :

Turner dropped for QdK

 

[NYRB]

no offence to Ashton Turner, but he isnt a better bat than Quinton De Kock. I know that may rile up a few West Aussies in this thread. But im taking QdK in my team over Turner all day Sunday, twice on Mondays.

Doesn't that KL Rahul innings look atrocious with what Head and Abhishek did?

That’s he’s biggest criticism. Rahul is too slow and cannot shift gears like Kohli can. You cant stay at a SR of 90 for the full innings. It doesn’t help that QdK and Stoinis are not consistent enough around him.

Sanjiv Goenka (owner of LSG) let loose at KL Rahul after the game last night. Footage online.

I also remember when Rahul used to open with Agarwal at Punjab a few years back. A critical response to that partnership at Rahul was that they were batting too slow.

Owners being involved in on field matters is gross.
