Moooo
Dhawan just touched 400 runs in this IPL...some distance away from KL tho.
Maybe when Kohli hit 4 in 2016? Not sure if any of them were consecutive.Has anyone scored two hundreds in a row in the IPL, or in any T20 league for that matter?
This I saw in CI commentary:Has anyone scored two hundreds in a row in the IPL, or in any T20 league for that matter?
He was talking about the youngsters in the squad, not in the playing XI. Basically folks like Sai Kishore, Gaekwad and Jagadeesan. Dunno if there are anymore youngsters left there. Ad it was still harsh on Jagadeesan who looked MILES better than Jadhav in the one innings he played. Which is why I suggested the XI I did for CSK in my earlier post here.Back to yesterday's game - I just had another look when something popped up on Cricinfo about Dhoni as to whether he actually said there wasn't any spark from youngsters - I thought maybe I've misheard him or something or there are some youngsters - no one else is younger then 28 apart from Curran - harsh to be singling him out.
Had another look and my bad there, but it does seem a bit harsh nonetheless as effectively asking youngsters to come in and do all the heavy lifting as not only would you need to score runs if you are a batsman but also make up for the others lack of intent on the whole. I guess they might see something in training which justifies their selections of late but it doesn't look great having an ageing squad and when you have a youngster come in and in his first innings be 2nd top scorer and at a quicker strike rate then anyone bar Dhoni and Bravo (who faced 11 balls between them) and then drop him it seems bizarre. Cricinfo has him listed as an opening batsman, not seen him before he played v RCB but if he's being played out of position too that makes the choice even worse for me.He was talking about the youngsters in the squad, not in the playing XI.

Think his drift was that the youngsters were not so good that they could confidently drop the seniors even if the seniors were not doing well, something like that. And it definitely seems unfair at least on Jagadeesan.
