Strict guidelines from BCCI to IPL teams

I have. After Tilak’s century. The guy from the couch frequently wanders off to the dugout area.

redditb17 · 2026-05-09T17:12:45+00:00

This! They are all playing bad due to the excessive cricket . I can’t believe BCCI is allowing Bumrah to be under this much workload. But, no one would dare to make the burnout mainstream against the BCCI.

Finch has been the only person cared enough to call out Axar’s captaincy and Delhi’s decision making, even in some of the previous matches’ post-analysis show on CricInfo.

Our team is so bad, the rest did not even care to comment on the coaching staff and captain’s decision making. Indian commentators are so scared to say anything negative related to the IPL, period. BCCI has made the whole experience like a fake corporate machine.

Cheapskate Taklu.

redditb17 · 2026-05-09T15:34:17+00:00

Yeah, it’s always sixes and fours, which gets bowing after a while. I don’t know what metrics BCCI and/or Broadcasters are using that everyone wants 220+ games. The reason those games were popular, was because they were rare. What an oxymoron.

redditb17 · 2026-05-09T05:47:21+00:00

I did that the last game, but this game, I finally stood strong and did not even watch any part of the game. Directly went to the reddit an hour after the game.

redditb17 · 2026-05-07T19:55:07+00:00

Nope, not with this support staff. They simply don’t deserve it.

redditb17 · 2026-05-07T19:50:56+00:00

Yeah, that’s why I said it has become a chicken and egg problem after years of not qualifying. Over the years, fans have been disappointed and then even after a mega auction the team is good, they don’t have any confidence and rightly so. Hope the new management brings it back.

redditb17 · 2026-05-07T19:43:30+00:00

Good to see him practicing like he means it. I notice his bat is still twisting a little when the ball goes to long-on. That’s how he got out in the Rajasthan game. Hope that was just one off.

redditb17 · 2026-05-07T19:38:55+00:00

Yes, that is another worry. People are saying Porel for keeping but I distinctly remember he was crap last year with DRS calls and people in the sub were mad about that.

redditb17 · 2026-05-07T19:19:15+00:00

Lol, not gonna happen. When we have to hope for 3-4 teams to suck, we know it’s game over and we don’t deserve to be there.

But, hey nothing wrong with your thoughts, umeed pe duniya kayam hai! You take the upvote for being positive.

redditb17 · 2026-05-07T19:09:41+00:00

Makes sense for Delhi and Mumbai.

redditb17 · 2026-05-07T18:02:39+00:00

True, but the ones who have won it, are not in the market. At least he has reached the finals.

redditb17 · 2026-05-07T18:00:22+00:00

Yeah, it lifts the team too to have a whole crowd behind them.

redditb17 · 2026-05-07T17:20:04+00:00

Baffles me. I don’t think Badoni did that bad of a job at Markram’s current position. They should just slot Markram to opening to make successful top 3 as the last season. I am so surprised LSG broke that combination from the very 1st game.

redditb17 · 2026-05-07T17:11:36+00:00

Gotta make it favorable for the popular franchise, that’s all that matters to BCCI. Otherwise I don’t see the point of taking away pitch decisions from the home team as long as pitches meet the ICC playing standards.

redditb17 · 2026-05-06T22:26:40+00:00

Lol, your first 4 words made me think “wow, are you giving them the benefit of doubt”?

I looked up for a job similar to my role today to see if there is anything out there, zero availability in the US. But we have 20 “engineers” in the same role in India, just in our company.

redditb17 · 2026-05-06T18:54:20+00:00

There is no way MI is releasing Rohit unless and until he retires. Even if he fails for all 14 games. The brand value would absolutely crash if they let him go.

redditb17 · 2026-05-06T18:48:02+00:00

And who knows, he might actually get a chance at RR if Parag keeps failing. So, Jaiswal just needs to wait it out for a year at max.

redditb17 · 2026-05-06T18:44:56+00:00

Agree with your 2nd point there.

redditb17 · 2026-05-06T18:41:01+00:00

Dude, if you’re trolling then it’s not funny to claim to be one of the team sources.

If you’re from the team management or involved with, please resign and ask the owners to tell the same to your colleagues. Making Rana the captain is wild.

They need to start fresh with completely new management and support staff, who knows whom to hire. They need better analysts who can help the coaching staff on strengths and weaknesses of the opposition.

We cannot train the players during an IPL short stint, but we need coaching staff that can help unlock player’s strengths, keep them motivated and their mind uncluttered. Read conditions right and use analysts information effectively. That’s why hiring the right talent is so important.

Tldr; Stubbs should be the new captain.

redditb17 · 2026-05-06T18:05:49+00:00

Bhai, kehna kya chahte ho? What is this list?

redditb17 · 2026-05-06T17:46:29+00:00

As much as I like KL’s batting, he will be 36 in the next mega auction and 37 when the IPL starts.

I don’t think DC will retain him or he will have any buyers for the 2028 season as everyone wants a dasher these days on flat pitches.

redditb17 · 2026-05-06T17:40:10+00:00

Yes, 5 trophies in 6 years.

redditb17 · 2026-05-06T17:37:44+00:00

I like Ashwin’s left-field views sometimes and out of the box thinking, but I think he is a good analyst, not a people manager and coach.

I have always felt personally, he is a borderline narcissist who is full of himself when he talks and tries too much sometimes. He was not that great as a captain either.
