Indian Premier League - General Discussion

[ShamiLoverGlipGlops]

The entire format is a joke. It was ok earlier, I genuinely miss international cricket from the 2000s-2012 ish


Just TV, check the same figures for Reliance Jio, bound to be far more since they have the mobile/digital rights.

I know I took the bait from the troll but all I am saying is that is it boring format wise? YES. A lot of people have raised that. Is this tournament a JOKE?? Lol that is just trolling at finest form as millions disagree with that. I have said this before and I ll say it again, it is NOT BCCI's fault they have the prized possession called IPL. Series are still going on, Zimbabwe Bangladesh are playing, New Zealand played with Pakistan so I do not know what the issue is. No one is forcing anyone to stop playing.

This VICE captain is going to lead. Hardik Pandya has been attrocious and he shows off being cool and all should look hard at himself in mirror that I am a cool guy, I need to step out of the world cup squad cause I need a break mentally and let RINKU be in the squd.

When players pull out of the IPL to play international cricket/for personal reasons: “Haha look at what a joke of a tournament this is, no one even takes it seriously am I right?”

When players play in the IPL eschewing international cricket: “This joke of a tournament is forcing the entire cricket calendar to revolve around it!”

Play both sides so that you can always win.

According to BARC data, Disney Star has registered a cumulative reach of 44.8 crore viewers for the first 22 days (26 matches) of IPL 2024, garnering 18,800 crore minutes of total watch-time on TV. Such a joke of a tournament! Only 18800 crore minutes, should be atleast 30000 crore.

How are runfests and runways entertaining

It is not and we are not saying it is entertaining. Nobody is, the last few days with decent scores have been the most entertaining. IPL is a long tournament. The heat eventually takes a toll on players and pitches. That is exactly whats happening now and we will continue to see it. Those 260+ score matches were boring and not entertaining. I agree with you but that does not make the tournament a joke.

You are a Pakistan cricket fan, the pitches they dished out for Aussie test series which were highways did it make the test match and the series a joke? No. Criticize what is fair, calling a tournament joke is not fair.

The average run rate in 2023’s PSL was 9.2 (only 0.4 less than this year’s IPL that’s already slowing down) but sure, continue trolling.

Missed the part where Gill started bowling and batting at five.

Trolls gotta troll I suppose.

Siraj’s slowly getting back to his best, good to see.

It's difficult to compare when one league is 12-a-side and the other is played at only four grounds.

Perfect match for Vijay Shankar to show his all-round skills by taking a 10fer.
