Surprised to note that Dhoni will not be the captain for CSK.

MSD steps down & Rituraj Gaikwad to Lead CSK in IPL24.

The correct decision and something I anticipated when Dhoni decided to play this season. It was clear he will mentor Gaikwad this season. The bond between Chennai franchise and Dhoni is truly special. I hope Gaikwad justifies his captaincy.

Not sure if this will be functional by tomorrow, but if it does not happen I will play on Fanzania and Manager mode on Dream11 app.

Will create a league, and post here in case anyone wants to compete.

Official fantasy link won't work. Bcci greed has made it redundant. I tried the manager mode on Dream11 app. Looks interesting and it's free so will try it.

It has worked each year, so I am still hopeful.

Dream11 Manager mode is ok, but not quite "real" because there is no cap on the number of foreign players in the eleven.

Fanzania looks like the best bet, so I have created a league there.

What a knock by Andre Russel tonight guys. Don’t miss it.
1 of my predictions has already come true, if both the Iyers start playing well, my top 4 predictions too might come true

Match#6
RCB vs PBKS

If Kohli's knock last evening wasn't classy enough, his words during the post-match presentation interview were pure gold. I have little doubt they would have ruffled the feathers of quite a few.

Looks like we have given the Kiwis their new opening batters - Rachin & Conway! That catch by a 42 year old teenager *beauty*

[deathwalkr]

What a crushing victory it was by CSK. And was nice to see the commentators going nuts after seeing MS take that catch

More than 500 runs were scored in 40 overs yesterday with MI scoring 246 trying to chase 278 set by SRH. I'm not sure if I like such games where the bowlers are reduced to bowling machines!

Sucks to be Hardik Pandya right now. In back to back matches he has made questionable decisions as captain, bottled two chases with the bat and has been bounced out on both occasions. He was understandably booed at Ahmedabad, but even the Hyderabad crowd booed him yesterday. Not to mention the unreal amount of hate he is getting online. Let's see if he has the ability to comeback from this.

Completely agree, holding Bumrah back for later stages made me feel he was playing club cricket, when your strike bolwer is supposed to STRIKE the first blows, He kept him for later stages.

He was understandably booed at Ahmedabad, but even the Hyderabad crowd booed him yesterday.

Wait till he plays in Mumbai, I feel much worse is in store for him.

Has anyone watched IPL matches at Chinnaswamy stadium? How was the arrangements and experience.

I haven't got so much positive feedback lately, from the guys who watched. I have heard getting tickets is difficult and mostly agents are involved. I wonder, if it's even worth spending money and time with kids there.

The tickets in website is always sold-out and you never know when they open for new booking, looks like agent controlled:

Definitely seems like it. Almost all MI fans (me included) wanted either Surya or Bumrah to replace Rohit as captain.

Although I think the MI management deserves more blame for handling the transition from Rohit to Pandya very poorly. Hardik didn't do himself any favours by sending Tim David before himself to face Rashid Khan against GT. It gave the impression that the MI captain was scared of Rashid. And the match losing almost run a ball innings against SRH in a chase of 278, where everyone else played at a SR of over 200.

The only way Hardik comes back is by winning matches & eventually the tournament for MI, which undoubtedly he is capable of.
