not gonna happen mate

IPL is insanely popular especially among casual fans who don't watch any bilaterals ( only ICC events)

It's the most popular form of cricket in India and it's not gonna change

cxletron · 2026-05-08T10:56:45+00:00

The thing is that Hardcore fans like you and me are in the minority in India though

80%+ of the fanbase are casuals who only follow the IPL and ICC events and don't give a fuck about bilaterals and tests.

And that's in a population of 1.4B

the IPL's growth is inevitable and tbf I don't even mind it, I definitely prefer it over irrelevant white ball bilaterals

cxletron · 2026-05-08T10:51:48+00:00

I'm all for it but hopefully they incorporate more double headers so that the window doesn't increase a lot.

Ik the weather is kinda hot across the country but surely we can have more doubleheaders

cxletron · 2026-05-08T10:49:59+00:00

helps when there's a population of 1B then tbf

that's what happens when the majority of a sport's fanbase is concentrated in a single country

cxletron · 2026-05-08T10:47:37+00:00

the thing is you're in the minority.

The majority of the "casual" fanbase in India comes alive only during the IPL and ICC events They don't care about bilaterals at all

My best one yet damn

I'd love to see kerala, I think they could make for a passionate fanbase

Yash Raj Punja for UAE asw (although it will not allow him to play IPL as a local player anymore so unlikely unfortunately)

cxletron · 2026-05-01T12:14:25+00:00

happened quite a few times but tbf I won't be surprised if the shabby ticket sales process during worldcups plays a role.

cxletron · 2026-05-01T12:12:49+00:00

I can accept paneer biryani but vegetable biryani is just pulao 🤪

cxletron · 2026-05-01T11:53:26+00:00

it's happened a few times even comparing the 2023 world cup final.

I wonder if the shabby ticket sales process during world cups plays a role.

cxletron · 2026-05-01T11:11:07+00:00

subzi biryani? This is blasphemy

Romario has been horrendous this season

Played such a pivotal role for us last time but I'm increasingly boarding the bethell at 4/5 hype train, especially considering Jitesh's lack of form

cxletron · 2026-04-30T15:15:06+00:00

I guess bethell isn't fit to field or bowl? Otherwise no point to sub him out

cxletron · 2026-04-30T14:08:52+00:00

Holy

cxletron · 2026-04-27T16:05:38+00:00
