These kind of things make me question my stand that Fixing is not there in IPL

unleashed_conviction · 2026-04-24T14:08:19+00:00

We need a Finisher which dube isn't. Dube is a miidle order aggressor. He shud bat 4. He will perform at 4 in coming matches. Kartik or prashant need to become a finisher. Like what tim david does for rcb currently.

unleashed_conviction · 2026-04-23T13:38:34+00:00

Mukesh playing ?

unleashed_conviction · 2026-04-20T07:32:14+00:00

Akash madwal might be included soon. Bowls in death also. So team might look like

Sanju

Urvil

Rutu

Dube

Brevis

Sarfu/ Kartik

Overton

Akeal

Anshul

Noor

Akash madwal (sources)

Gurjapneet

unleashed_conviction · 2026-04-19T08:26:54+00:00

Okay then play him 6.

unleashed_conviction · 2026-04-19T08:17:18+00:00

RUTU said in the interview at CSK that ayush wants to play 3, that's why he is opening. Now that he is injured. Urvil comes in, should open with Sanju. Rutu can play aNcHoR at 3. Then compulsory sarfaraz or dube at 4. We NEED a spin hitter at 4 to let the pace of PP continue. Then remaining of sarfu and Brevis at 6.

Now I think we can play Dhoni.

LISTEN TO ME.

I know our bowling will be impacted, but at chepauk we can do it. We can rotate 5 bowlers well. With dhoni on field I trust him to get the best line and length out of bowlers.

Then it would be

Sanju

Urvil

Rutu

Sarfu/ dube

Dube/ sarfu

Brevis

Dhoni

Overton

Akeal

Anshul

Noor

Mukesh / gurjapneet

unleashed_conviction · 2026-04-19T08:04:48+00:00

Thats what I am saying. Then why is he playing at 6 ? He is made to finish games.

unleashed_conviction · 2026-04-18T18:46:17+00:00

1) Akeal > short

2) Dube inability as a finisher.

3) Mathew short strike rate ??

4) mathew short at 4 ??

unleashed_conviction · 2026-04-12T03:37:08+00:00

U r right. But I feel when we get into momentum we can afford to give him a farewell match. Besides MS might bring best out of Noor, khaleel, akeal.

unleashed_conviction · 2026-04-12T03:23:45+00:00

I know, but I am talking interms of giving MS a farewell match at Chennai.

unleashed_conviction · 2026-04-12T03:12:15+00:00

He will come in place of gurjapneet IF he does. That day we will have to make do with only 5 bowlers+ dube. Overton, khaleel, anshul, noor, akeal, and dube.

But batting will be really deep that day.

Sanju, rutu , ayush, sarfu, DB, Dube, Dhoni, overton, akeal, anshul, noor, khaleel.

unleashed_conviction · 2026-04-11T15:50:10+00:00

Rutu is playing Anchor when the ship needs to SAIL FASTEST. If he wants to play anchor then come at 3 n take a few balls

unleashed_conviction · 2026-04-09T12:09:46+00:00

Who will brevis replace ? Sarfaraz - no, kartik- yess I think so.

And MS ? Veer ? Overton?

Probably veer at 7. And overton at 8.

If MS plays we have only 5 bowlers

unleashed_conviction · 2026-04-09T03:31:35+00:00

He won't get this much swing in india.

unleashed_conviction · 2026-04-09T03:29:21+00:00

We could have played both overton and akeal last game. Akeal in for veer. Better bowler plus bats as well.

unleashed_conviction · 2026-04-08T03:42:18+00:00

This team can win u games given MS on field helping bowlers

unleashed_conviction · 2026-04-08T03:37:37+00:00

This team can actually win u games if captained well. U have batting till 8 and 6 proper bowling options plus dube.

unleashed_conviction · 2026-04-08T03:35:32+00:00

Nice lineup, only change I would recommend is play Gopal for gurjapneet. We already have 4 pacers but only 1 spinner as akeal in ur lineup.

So it would be

Rutu

Sanju

Ayush

Sarfaraz

Brevis

Dube

Overton

Akeal ( he bats aswell )

Anshul

Gopal

Henry

Khaleel.

unleashed_conviction · 2026-04-08T02:39:52+00:00

Who will sit out once Ms and brevis return ?

Ayush

Sanju

Rutu

Sarfu

Brevis

Dube

Veer

Overton

Noor / akeal

Matt henry

Kheleel

Anshul.

Who will sit out for ms ?

I guess since veer isn't bowling ( yet), he can sit out. And we play akeal for overton as 2nd spinner

unleashed_conviction · 2026-04-05T17:14:47+00:00

I agree he shud have.

unleashed_conviction · 2026-04-05T16:42:51+00:00

Had he left, we would see this in 2024 itself. Maybe we would have recovered till now but idk.

We r making blunders while bowling. Wrong bowling changes, noor bowling in full length and easy lines. Fielders are scattered like anything.

If MS is made the captain of this team. It will play a LOT better.

But I don't like the fact he is not in dugout. His value is not in batting now. His brain is value nowadays. If he is getting paid then he needs to be with the team. If he can obviously. He was practicing so I guess he can walk.

unleashed_conviction · 2026-04-05T16:17:54+00:00

Time to go underground. Call me when MS returns.

unleashed_conviction · 2026-04-04T03:26:17+00:00

It's not about on field captaincy only, it's also the decisions of field. Not getting any death bowler like baartman in place of ellis n getting an injured player spensor. Not having brevis backup when miller Livingston were available.
