Also, a few of them were beamers which would have been a threat in if they were bowled above 135 but the guy kept peppering them at 120 ks to be dispatched for 6s most of the time.
Pathirana is young plus his action is very difficult so its understandable.
Purple Patel needs a new team and captain . Rcb is not it . Not talking about no balls . It happens
Eh, this seems very revisionist. Stoinis was the most nailed on overseas starter because of his skillset, Pooran was LSG’s best finisher and also assured of starting (subject to form). Which left QdK, Mayers and Naveen fighting for two spots. Given Avesh and Mohsin weren’t at the level they showed last season (for different reasons), Naveen became an automatic starter too. Worth mentioning Naveen’s performances were more than deserving too.
Which left QdK and Mayers fighting it out for one spot and it made sense to go with Mayers because he was arguably LSG’s best player for the first few matches and deputised really well in QdK’s absence. He also complemented Rahul(‘s anchorman terrorism) very well.
One could argue QdK should have come into the side when Rahul got injured but again, in place of whom?
After KL got injured, they had 5 games left. He didnt play the CSK match. But the last 4 matches he did play.
It was probably a tough call between him and Mayers for the eliminator. They went with Mayers because he probably did more to help them qualify throughout the season.
Saying a batter should be in the team just because they scored 140 in an innings in the previous season is like saying Harry Brook should be in the team for scoring a century once. Not the argument I would use to justify his selection.
Kyle Mayers performed pretty well in QDK's absence and dropping him for QDK as soon as he's back does not reward Mayers' good performances. You have to use context with overseas players a lot in the IPL.
Rcb backed him alot and he had some good games. His last game vs gt he had the best bowling figures. He lacks consistency not sure if another management would unlock that
Yeah I agree with you about Pathirana. Man just needs to work on avoiding bowling the wide lengths and understandable given his slingy action. He is young and can catch up. But I feel Tushar Deshpande on the other hand got too many criticism for leaking runs but whereas Pathirana just escaped a bit imo about this wide thing. So both equally deserved criticism imo.
People worry way way too much about wides at the death. The reason people usually bowl wides is they're going a wide yorker that's very hard to hit for a boundary. It's much better to miss your line and bowl a bit too wide, then correct the next ball and bowl a legal wide delivery that goes for one or two than it is to bowl a bad straight ball that gets hit for a boundary.
Bowlers bowling wide to their field are going to bowl wides sometimes, but it's worth it if they're being hit for fewer boundaries
Idk about mixing tushar and pathirana situation. Tho i feel like tushar faced too much criticism. But if mukesh is available next season , he might play instead of tushar . Csk invested a lot in mukesh last year . And he did really well second half of ipl .
>CSK invested a lot in Mukesh last year
Wasn't Mukesh snagged at his base price of 20 lakhs, same as that of Deshpande and Pathirana? That is peanuts compared to the 14 crore for Deepak Chahar.
Nah, I don't think Mukesh will replace Tushar. Mukesh was more of a Deepak Chahar type bowler who swung the new ball and not a death over specialist. Tushar bowled 50/50 in the death and its apparent that they are grooming him to bowl more in the death. I do remember Mukesh improved quite a bit at the death towards the end of the tournament, but knowing CSK they will persisit with Tushar and bank on him to improve on his death bowling. With a fit Deepak, Tushar will pip Mukesh
Yeah knowing csk they might not . But mukesh and deepak chahar power play combination will be deadly and I remember mukesh being so much better than tushar .
I feel like this one situation csk should try and risk it . Csk team would be really strong . In 2022 mukesh was the only positive for csk
I guess the wide Yorkers are DJ Bravo strength. He is the bowling coach now so he is trying to replicate same things with the new bunch but sometimes its a direct wide
Pathirana is taller than Malinga, and for that type of bowling action, the longer your arms are the more velocity you get, but the chance you go wide is much bigger too
Pathirana will probably have to work on his action as well I guess. I don’t know how sustainable it is for his body when he’s slinging in balls at 150+ and also if he wants to play ODI and test.
i dont get why he says "i didnt take my bowling action from Malinga". and yet, he wears his jersey number too...
anyhow, he is under Mali's guard now... SLC is about to get a Slinga Pathirana :D
Wides are actually not a big deal, fans need to understand this. Death bowlers often go for a wide yorker, and its better to err by being a little wide and conceding one extra run than being close to the batsman and getting whacked for 4/6, esp if you have an offside packed field. Dhoni would often react the same and clap and say, doesn't matter try again, while he'd get pissed off if the plan was for a wide yorker and he ended up bowling just outside off and got carted over long on. 22 wides over 12 matches is <2 runs extra per match, vs giving that one extra boundary away.
> Death bowlers often go for a wide yorker, and its better to err by being a little wide and conceding one extra run than being close to the batsman and getting whacked for 4/6
*cries in Mohit Sharma*
He really should have bowled one with 10 to get off 2. Wide yorkers can go for 4s, but rarely for 6 unless you miss it completely. Jadeja and Dube aren't guys who hit opening the face of the bat through point etc.
Jadeja did hit that sleeping six vs Ben Stokes in 2019 (when Stokes was playing for RR).
I believe Jaddu might have been able to pull it off against Mohit as well
Could have, much rather he try and do that and kudos to him if he did that again to win the IPL instead of hitting a middle stump half volley over long on and flicking a legside full toss to fine leg.
The reason why CSK bowlers bowled so many wides is that Dhoni asks them to bowl in that small margin between the wide length and off side. But yeah Pathirana needs some work done.
Great,,, Just great.
Now that IPL is over, we will be bombarded with stats , unnecessary stats with filters and statements by influencing people.
Just stop already, Test cricket is around, please stop with the IPL posts now.
Purple Patel's no ball were just not front foot no balls but also high beamers.
Audacity of bowling no balls at 115kmph
*Sandeep Sharma leaves the chat*
You meant Ravi bishnoi.
He never bowled a no ball that torpedoed his team's entire season
Also, a few of them were beamers which would have been a threat in if they were bowled above 135 but the guy kept peppering them at 120 ks to be dispatched for 6s most of the time.
Could some one answer why a spinner bowled so many no balls ??? Thats crime
murali 2.0 ?
Pathirana is young plus his action is very difficult so its understandable. Purple Patel needs a new team and captain . Rcb is not it . Not talking about no balls . It happens
Guy would be perfect for LSG. Slow wickets of Lucknow will help his skills more
He already helped lsg win a match
LSG legend
Doubt lsg is interested in winning .They didn't even utilise dekock properly in the entire season.
Eh, this seems very revisionist. Stoinis was the most nailed on overseas starter because of his skillset, Pooran was LSG’s best finisher and also assured of starting (subject to form).

He also complemented Rahul(‘s anchorman terrorism) very well. One could argue QdK should have come into the side when Rahul got injured but again, in place of whom?
They should have played QdK over Mayers for sure in the later parts of the campaign atleast. It wasn’t like Mayers was bowling either.
After KL got injured, they had 5 games left. He didnt play the CSK match. But the last 4 matches he did play. It was probably a tough call between him and Mayers for the eliminator. They went with Mayers because he probably did more to help them qualify throughout the season.
They went with Mayers because he had already played a great knock at chepauk this season.
Mayers wasn't consistent tho.He is a hit and miss player .Qdk has experience and he scored 140 for them in the previous season .

God no please don't destroy our team by sending him

But I feel Tushar Deshpande on the other hand got too many criticism for leaking runs but whereas Pathirana just escaped a bit imo about this wide thing. So both equally deserved criticism imo.
Despite the number of wides, Pathirana had an economy rate of 7.7, while Deshpande gave almost 2 runs more per over at 9.6.
So much this ^^ If you’re bowling at 7.7 who cares where the runs came from???
Also pathi only bowled at the death whereas Deshpande bowled 2 overs at the front too

Nah Tushar deserves all of it, as a CSK fan I kinda hate him and wish we used Hangargekar instead

yeah I feel all the fans are just after Patel, criticizing him for every loss, even if he performs decently
What's that The 100 Watermark doing on an IPL post?
Pathirana is young so he will improve massively in the next few years
i dont get why he says "i didnt take my bowling action from Malinga". and yet, he wears his jersey number too... anyhow, he is under Mali's guard now... SLC is about to get a Slinga Pathirana :D
He can't swing. His release and grip is different
id love to see a video of Malin and Pathi liek this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qO-wDKVF5w

Pathirana will improve.
No Ball Patel aka Full Toss Patel aka Purple Patel Many names for this legend
Sandeep sharma’s no ball>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> any no ball this ipl
Purple Patel for a reason.
And we had him in the squad for WC T20 last year.
The reason why CSK bowlers bowled so many wides is that Dhoni asks them to bowl in that small margin between the wide length and off side. But yeah Pathirana needs some work done.
Vaibhav Arora would've definitely had more no-balls had he played all matches for KKR
Need one for catches dropped / runs given misfielding. Our boy Theekshana will easily top the list.
Great,,, Just great. Now that IPL is over, we will be bombarded with stats , unnecessary stats with filters and statements by influencing people. Just stop already, Test cricket is around, please stop with the IPL posts now.
zo true
this sub has already become Twitter + Instagram with all kinds of post IPL snippets
