Does the IPL seem more amped up this year or what? Yeah T20 sucks and it's loud and vulgar but there are palpable big-match vibes to these games so far. Of course it will go on for too long as always but it helps that the Indian audience has well and truly bought into the premise. And it can't but affect the players in the middle, makes it a touch more than just a big payday.
I've felt the opposite for some reason. I usually like watching the first hour or two before bed but haven't done that this time. Tuning in today though because got **** all to do.

The Hardik hate feels quite mean spirited tbh. Also not a fan of people using chapri to describe him.

Chapri is a Hindi slang term used to describe a type of person, typically a young person, who is seen as being uncool or cringeworthy.

seems apt

Not good enough from dhawan so far. Only 1 wicket down on what is clearly a good deck and he's 25(26). He could accelerate from here, but this start is still unacceptable, especially when you have so much batting to come.
this is why he was dropped from the national team, dude couldnt adapt to current era aggressiveness

still a gun player who can win matches at times

Nah it's more used in this sense

Whatever it takes!!!
He was fine for the earlier era but he never adapted. Rohit has at least tried to improvise. If these guys had done all this circa 2017, we would have probably had at least one ICC Trophy by now IMO.

the Hardik hate is ****ing weird when you think about it, there’s no rivalry between these 2 brands and officially all that happened was him replacing Rohit as captain, something MI have done in the past as well to dump popular players as captains if they see a better alternative

I doubt anyone considers him from lower socio-economic class considering he is playing IPL from 2016 .

Jadeja was banned from IPL for 1 year for trying exactly what Hardik Pandya did . If any other franchise did what MI did with Pandya then Pandya would have been banned for 1 year .

didnt they change that rule a long time ago?

Dhawan did something similar to move to DC with Shankar going the other way with some other random dude

Even I hate Pandya tbh . I believe he deliberately fakes injury to avoid playing international cricket and gets automatically fit during IPL.

Someone can correct me but has Pandya missed even 1 IPL season due to injury?

this is a huge, huge reach

he didnt miss a season but he did play as a pure batsman in 1 season

idk but pretty much most of the meanings you google aren't a good look

Yeah but I think folks who are talking about here are around people who may actually use the word than rely on google. 🤷‍♂️ It sometimes makes sense to leave it to the ones who actually know what is happening?
