*Official* IPL 2022

[duffer]

Would love to uncover a few more like Badoni this edition

Manohar next man in for GT - was great for Karnataka this season and has played in the KPL but no real pedigree beyond that current form. Picking him but batting him below Tewatia is ITSTL, not sure if he's the right man for the job if 12+ an over is needed

 

[cnerd123]

Bishnoi is good

 

[cnerd123]

Tewatia! Justifying his promotion up the order + price tag atm.

 

[cnerd123]

In for a tight finish. Let's see if Avesh Khan can live up to the death bowling hype

Bowls a couple in the arc to Miller but gets him next ball. LSG still alive.

broadcast has his name as Sadarangani but Cricinfo has him as Abhinav Manohar. Eitherway, good cameo to kick off his career too! Both IPL debutants putting it good performances. First proper last-over finish of this season too, fun game.

LSG missing a trick not bowling Chameera. Perhaps persisted with Hooda/Bishnoi an over too long, let Tewatia blast GT back into the game.

Also chasing team still unbeaten 4 games in.

RR in deep trouble. Lost the toss and have to bat first. Already on the backfoot.

Would have lost Butler in the first over but thankfully Bhuvi overstepped lol. Still this new ball is h00ping loads.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Good first over Shep

 

[cnerd123]

3 no balls in the first 4 overs, one of which was a dropped catch too lol. Poor start by SRH. Umran Malik bowling up to 150 clicks and going for 21 in his first over heh

Ncanana from the TMOs

 

[cnerd123]

Another no ball lmao. This time it's Washington.

Jaiswal hits an ugly slog for 6. IPL has ruined him. Used to be a pretty and compact batter who anchored the India U19 top order. Now he walks around his crease and slogs...

50 up! C'mon Butler time to go big.

Ncanana from the TMOs

I'd rather have Ncanana tbh!

 

[cnerd123]

Sanju at 3 instead of Devdutt. Interesting.

 

[honestbharani]

They know DDP gets stuck against spin.

 

[honestbharani]

So far all the pregame favorites have lost. If that holds, SRH should win.


Should also note all pregame favorites have lost the toss so far too. And outside of the day game that MI lost, it has made a HUGE difference with the dew around.

 

[cnerd123]

Really good batting by the RR unit so far. Hope we get 200.

 

[cnerd123]

Hettyyyyyy

220 on the cards boyz

 

[honestbharani]

Also think the black soil track on Pune offers least threat with new ball and that has helped RR here. Theirs to lose now, I feel.

 

[honestbharani]

Excellent last over there by Nattu.

 

[cnerd123]

210, we should be able to defend that

Basically the perfect batting performance by RR. Good powerplay from Butler/Jaiswal, substantial runs in the middle from Samson/Devdutt, and then quality finishing from Hetmyer. Hope we haven't peaked in Game 1 lol.

 

[cnerd123]

thought that it bounced but probably the right call, huge early wicket.
