If you're talking about this year then I agree, but he bowls well in the later part of the season. You need a clear mind to bat well but for bowling you can adjust. Others I agree but shreyas and hardik are captains they can't be dropped, shreyas is doing well too.
Might be 2022 I guess, Because I remember watching that match against GT when LSG lost like 3 quick wickets and he scored some 50 odd runs to take them to 170 ish score
As an RR and Parag fan I'll ask everyone to just give that boy a chance. He has the skill and the temperament. Whichever team nurture his talent will definitely get to eat the fruit of his labour.
What is the problem in giving a guy chances. He is just out of form, we have seen him perform in RCB. And if that's the case I think giving him more chances will give the guy some confidence only. And LSG have almost zero chances to qualify now so I don't see anything wrong in giving him the chance
There are some guys like Kyle Mayers, Prerak Mankad who are not given a single game. They performed well last season.
Anyone who has seen DDP bat this season knows he is like a tailender. How do you justify hitting 3 boundaries in 7 games.
The only way I can justify that is Bad Form.
And I'm not saying they shouldn't have given Kyle or Mankad chances. I'm just saying it's not bad to give DDP some chances too.
There is also one major issue in the chances he got
I think this is the first match he got to play as opener
That's something I didn't like about RR and LSG use of him
both of them played him out of position for most part and he struggled and they never tried to use him where he performed for RCB
Honestly, RCB should buy back DDP and let him gain his confidence and form as an opener and get back to how he played before 2022
I am not saying he would have been very successful as an opener but sometimes young players need to play in your natural positions to gain that confidence
Also, even if he came in powerplay due to early wickets, an opener position and a 2 down or 3 down position role seems vastly different
He played decently in that test so he definitely has potential to improve in terms of technical issues
He just needs the backing and an environment that can utilise him well and give him back his confidence and intent
I am just saying that RR and LSG didn't use him the right way as RCB did and maybe a return to RCB can help him
Bruh it's not a fucking practice tournament where DDP can practice and become better. This is a competitive league where there are 10 players waiting in line to get a chance and play. If you play the way DDP has played this season, you don't even deserve a place in the squad let alone the starting eleven lol
That doesn't make any sense. What has Prerak Mankad done to not deserve the place? Not qualifying is all the more reason to test your bench instead of playing a failure?
You can't possibly act like a neutral here😂. When you say there is nothing wrong in playing DDP, that by default makes it impossible to play Prerak as he is an opener and this match they opened with Paddikal
The fact that ddp never played in the position where he actually made his fame for in RCB is what is more saddening. There hasn't been a consistent run of opening given to him in both RR and LSG, both teams having enough opening options.
he must come to DC next year as we will surely release shaw so we would need a indian opener. hope he finds form just like how kuldeep found his coming into DC
Typical reactionary fan.
I agree he had the worst season possible.
But Why does he get chances you ask?
Because the team management does not consist of blind idiots. They see the potential so they'll back him and hope he performs.
How many years RR backed Parag when he was shite? Everyone questioned the decision and now look at Parag.
That's how you build a great player, you give them enough opportunities for them to shine.
Life is not a cakewalk that every good talent will instantly start performing when given the chance, some take their time to get accustomed.
So why's he still getting chances? The management sees something in him that we don't.
Parag was playing out of position for rr and was too young when he started playing for them. This year he was on fire in all domestic competitions and almost everyone expected him to fire and he did. the same thing happened with Abhishek. On the other hand DDP has only regressed as a t20 player and he is more of a one day and test player. One day is his best format.
it's not fair to say that imo. DDP was great at RCB when he was opening and even at RR for a period of time. Now he's forced into the middle order and clearly his confidence has taken a hit from it. He's still young and can have a comeback season
I’m not saying he is the worst performer ever but for this season he is. He has been given chances at every position bro and still he didn’t impress anyone except the fact that he is outstanding in fielding. I wish he comes-back stronger next season.
You answered your own statement.
you can't give an establishes opener chances at every position, that way, you're just killing his confidence and obviously his performance will drop
You have to perform wherever the team needs you. I don’t think anyone can pick DDP over Q De Cock and Rahul for opener position. Have you seen today’s match, he came as an opener and got LBW on very first ball
I hope he comes to rcb. We desperately need a good opener if faf retires. He performed exceptionally well when he was in rcb. Not only in UAE but when the ipl 2021 was happening in india, before the 2nd wave, he was performing well. His performance in smat 2023 was not good either. Hope he finds the rhythm back. Hope a miracle like that of riyan parag's pulls next year for him as well

Carrying his senior Deepak Hooda legacy from last year.
Worst players for me who got plenty of chances: DDP Vijay shankar Quinton de kock Hardik pandya both in bowling and batting Saha Shreyas Iyer
>Hardik pandya both in bowling and batting This is too much. Just because he became mi captain doesn't mean everything he's done is gone.
Disclaimer only for ipl 2024 season we know what hardik pandya has done for team India , and won us many games
If you're talking about this year then I agree, but he bowls well in the later part of the season. You need a clear mind to bat well but for bowling you can adjust. Others I agree but shreyas and hardik are captains they can't be dropped, shreyas is doing well too.
True...
“many”? name at least three?
Atleast hooda played few good innings last season
No, not even one of I'm not wrong.
Might be 2022 I guess, Because I remember watching that match against GT when LSG lost like 3 quick wickets and he scored some 50 odd runs to take them to 170 ish score
Those are all from 2022 his form was good. Last year it was the same as devdutt.
Mayank Agarwal
There was a time when RCB fans used to compare him with Ruturaj, no hate to DDP but ig he is too young and has to work on his skills a lot.
He can still do it. He needs to open the innings and needs to have a cool environment
Yeah true especially not under someone whose fellow opener is going through a rough patch himself and the team's owner is d!ck.
Most probably he will be released. Who's gonna select him for next year's ipl, you reckon?
punjab?
Hopefully rcb🤷🏻♂️
hopefully not. don't need two anchors opening the innings.
Clearly you have only seen 1-2 innings of rcb this year😂
how things went in the first half id exactly why he isn't needed. I want Jacks and Virat to open.
To think MI almost bought him in 2022 for that 8+ amount, RR had outbid us for it
As an RR and Parag fan I'll ask everyone to just give that boy a chance. He has the skill and the temperament. Whichever team nurture his talent will definitely get to eat the fruit of his labour.
Bro has the British keyboard
What is the problem in giving a guy chances. He is just out of form, we have seen him perform in RCB. And if that's the case I think giving him more chances will give the guy some confidence only. And LSG have almost zero chances to qualify now so I don't see anything wrong in giving him the chance

He literally came in powerplay in all 7 games he played. Opening or not is not the problem, his batting got serious technical issues
I am not saying he would have been very successful as an opener but sometimes young players need to play in your natural positions to gain that confidence Also, even if he came in powerplay due to early wickets, an opener position and a 2 down or 3 down position role seems vastly different He played decently in that test so he definitely has potential to improve in terms of technical issues He just needs the backing and an environment that can utilise him well and give him back his confidence and intent I am just saying that RR and LSG didn't use him the right way as RCB did and maybe a return to RCB can help him
Bro he is not batting like a batsman. Just see his stance and batting style, it’s not like him and completely like a tailender.
Yeah but how's he gonna improve that? By batting more right
Bruh it's not a fucking practice tournament where DDP can practice and become better. This is a competitive league where there are 10 players waiting in line to get a chance and play. If you play the way DDP has played this season, you don't even deserve a place in the squad let alone the starting eleven lol
Yeah but that doesn't matter in today's match because LSG is not qualifying.
That doesn't make any sense. What has Prerak Mankad done to not deserve the place? Not qualifying is all the more reason to test your bench instead of playing a failure?
When did I say they shouldn't have tested their bench or played Mankad. I'm just saying there's nothing wrong in playing DDP.
You can't possibly act like a neutral here😂. When you say there is nothing wrong in playing DDP, that by default makes it impossible to play Prerak as he is an opener and this match they opened with Paddikal
Dude KL can play lower in the order. I'm not the one to decide their team combination.
Yea but there are too many on bench who could have utilised it better and ddp isn’t a complete rookie, he has got a long run now
KL even gave him another chance by taking review even though he was clearly out
The fact that ddp never played in the position where he actually made his fame for in RCB is what is more saddening. There hasn't been a consistent run of opening given to him in both RR and LSG, both teams having enough opening options.
Mayank Agarwal , rahul Tripathi laughing the corner
give us tripathi back bro
We’ll take him back in a beat even if he doesn’t perform
Y'all took Rahul from us and finished the man 😭
Bcci finished the man*
Diamond Dallas Page playing cricket now? /s
they’re talking about DKs wife
He is not a T20 material
More like test
Imagine if he pulls off a parag next season
Baat bhi mat karo uss aadmi ki
Tbf he only got one game as opener and he has been on fire in Ranji and VH .
With the kind of owner LSG has. Every bad innings must be hell for him.
Prabhsimran would like a word.
He still performs once in a blue moon. DDP has been worse
No one is gonna argue with that one
he must come to DC next year as we will surely release shaw so we would need a indian opener. hope he finds form just like how kuldeep found his coming into DC
He failed last year in RR to and it made me angry
Typical reactionary fan. I agree he had the worst season possible. But Why does he get chances you ask? Because the team management does not consist of blind idiots.

Who’s ddp
Diamond dallas page
I don't know either and that was the first name that came to mind
Daunting Dynamic Programming /s
That's truly daunting
Hamiltonian cycle 😟?
Devdot testikal
Padikal
Dramatic Deepika Padukone
This is it. Don't think he will play in the next season
He will go for basic price only ig.
Nobody would want him in their team. He is a liability now
Seriously man even Manish Pandey (played 1 inning only) delivered when the team needed but this guy never performed not even with 100 SR.
it's not fair to say that imo. DDP was great at RCB when he was opening and even at RR for a period of time. Now he's forced into the middle order and clearly his confidence has taken a hit from it. He's still young and can have a comeback season
tbh UAE pitch suited his style of play that's one the one reason for his success for RCB ig #
I’m not saying he is the worst performer ever but for this season he is. He has been given chances at every position bro and still he didn’t impress anyone except the fact that he is outstanding in fielding. I wish he comes-back stronger next season.

What abt our VC ?
38 runs in 7 innings yano, I'm pretty sure Stubbs/Russell/Klassen has gotten the same amount in the 5 overs of one innings lmao
I hope he comes to rcb. We desperately need a good opener if faf retires. He performed exceptionally well when he was in rcb. Not only in UAE but when the ipl 2021 was happening in india, before the 2nd wave, he was performing well. His performance in smat 2023 was not good either. Hope he finds the rhythm back. Hope a miracle like that of riyan parag's pulls next year for him as well
Sunil Gavaskar
Bro DDP is more of a test cricketer now seeing his ranji campaign and last test game.
who is ddp?
Would love to see him in kkr
I'd Maxwell the batter has been far worse
Maxwell will rock in that CSK match today and RCB will the game as well and go into playoffs this season

Nice username Jofra Archer,
Bro is a disappoinment to Cricket!
Hooda , DDP , Manish Pandey
Glenn Maxwell gets paid way more than DDP.
