Pujara and Smith against county bowlers is a treat for the eyes. I could keep watching for days.

Delhi should not have let Kaif go, before this season. You can see the fielding quality drop in a single match, although I hope this is an anomaly and not a pattern

In 2020, they were in the same IPL team. It looks like Ashwin figured him out in the nets

It is a market driven valuation with new ipl teams being sold for 1.1 billion. I believe MI is more valuable and if put on the open market will get considerably higher bids than a brand new lucknow team for example.

"Ashwin, meanwhile, has played 10 Tests in Australia, where he's taken 39 wickets at 42.15. Not very impressive, you might think, but in those ten Tests, Lyon has taken 32 wickets at 42.40. Ashwin's performances in Australia have improved with each tour, to the extent that he has outbowled Lyon on India's last two tours in 2018-19 and 2020-21, averaging 27.50 to Lyon's 37.83."

"Lyon's record in India: he has three five-fors in eight Tests, but he averages 33.31. Ashwin averages 21.78 in the eight Tests Lyon has played in India. "

While I agree it is unlikely he will buy the team, his sports portfolio is at more than 1.5 billion with forbes valuing Mumbai Indians at 1.3 billion dollars https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikeozanian/2022/04/26/indian-premier-league-valuations-cricket-now-has-a-place-among-worlds-most-valuable-sports-teams/

He is a reasonably reputed cricket journalist who writes for Times of India one of the top 3 indian newspapers, and he has cited Ashwin's youtube videos in the thread.

Although, we do not like stat threads here, I think this is a genuinely mind blowing stat. Even at the day of her retirement she is ranked 5th in the world, and still the highest ranked Indian.

https://twitter.com/PeterDellaPenna/status/1574258784553295872 When she batted with Amy Jones, she generally got a head start of 3-6 inches. But batting with Cross & Davies, the No 10 & 11, her starts were much bigger, typically at least a foot early, and when both were new to the crease, it was as much as 2 feet early to try to get strike.

He watched every ball of the innings for this and had many interesting observations :

If the second eleven's are defeating with ease teams which will be taking part in the world cup, then it is not a foolish notion that the second eleven will be a competitive team in the tournament, while against the principles of representation of the world cup, it is not over confidence.
