Congrats KKR. Well deserved winners. Lost only 3 games, one a poor batting performance early on and the other 2 due to excellent 100s from Buttler and Bairstow. They did it also without really needing to rely much on the impact sub rule.

Congrats to KKR. They were good when it mattered. IMO, KKR and RR were the teams of the tournament, notwithstanding the dip over the last 5 or so games for RR in the league. I think the middle muddle was a bit of a much of a muchness and SRH were a bit lucky as I felt they could have well lost either or both of their last league games but one got rained off and PBKS experimented a lot with their bowling in the last one. RCB had a great run but obviously it was not sustainable as it felt almost as if they felt their zenith was actually making the play-offs. Once CSK were out, RCB were the ones I wanted to win as I feel Virat deserves an IPL trophy and Faf is awesome, but unfortunately, they were just not upto it.

It was also way too loaded towards the sides winning the toss and chasing in most games. I feel the idea proposed by MSD is actually pretty good, to start games later by 8 PM or so to ensure the advantage of bowling first is nullified a bit more and there is only like 5 overs of a dry ball available as compared to the 2 or 3 the team bowling second gets.

They really should make these things shorter. I was following with some level of interest but this thing kept going on and on and on and on until it was just not watchable.

Pity SRH didn't win, they were fun to watch.

Yes please. Otherwise we will see posts "analyzing" this IPL. No one needs that.

And use stubbs or klassen as the impact sub depending on the match situation. If I'm down 4 wickets in the first 10 klassen can keep the pressure on vs the spin with pooran, if it's deeper in stubbs is a better death hitter.
