IPL Indian Premier League 2016- General Discussion

[bigred]

My final table prediction

1. Royal Challengers Bangalore
2. Kolkata Knightriders
3. Gujarat Lions
4. Sunrisers Hyderabad
5. Kings Xl Punjab
6. Rising Pune Supergiants
7. Mumbai Indians
8. Delhi Daredevils

The top two of those teams look really strong on paper. RCBs batting looks immense. KKR have a better all round look and excellent spinners. I also like the look of the new lions team. All rounders like Bravo and Faulkner will do well for them. I don't fancy MS Dhoni's team this year. Their bowling looks weak.

I think you're prediction will be reversed with an exception of DD.

Even if MI is in the bottom, they will pull off something great in the second half of the tournament and come to the top of the table.

I don't want KKR, MI, Hyderbad to win as they have previously won. And I don't want Gujarat and Pune to win as they are new teams.
That leaves Bangalore, Punjab, Delhi. Delhi han't come to the finals, so why this time ?
Punjab went finals once whereas Bangalore went to finals twice. It's only fair that Bangalore wins this season.
Afterall, Kohli did so many things for India and India didnt win WC. Poor lad. Let him win IPL atleast. And ABD too hasn't won major ICC competition. So, keep calm and support RCB

Bombay High Court questions hosting IPL matches in drought-hit state | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

They make a very valid point !

Water to be used at Wankhede in IPL equals 29k people's daily requirement: Explaining HC's 'drought' outburst - Firstpost

They really should move the matches out of Maharashtra to a drought-free state. This is almost inhuman

 

[abhi_jacko]

Is anyone doing the IPL2016 fantasy thing - the official one or on cricinfo ?

 

[Ohm]

LOL! Have the same supreme court or high court guts to say that millions of litters of water (I might be wrong, it could be more litters of water) shouldn't be wasted making liquor whilst people in drought-hit states are dying of thirst? It's easy to target a sports. I'll never understand SC who will hesitate commanding a liquor ban but would target a sporting event. Absolutely senseless.

 

[abhi_jacko]

Huh ? What does liquor ban have to do with this ?

Are they manufacturing all the liquor in Maharashtra? They have not only targeted sports but also rapped the cenrtal govt for dealing with this situation poorly

They don't care about creating new identity for team... they just want to replicate CSK...
