The game we all love, however
The Impact Sub rule it has procured growing voices of dissent in the IPL. However, it is only one aspect of an otherwise loaded in favour of the batsmen IPL in 2024. Bowlers are feeling the heat and some of have openly spoken about it. Siraj may find himself in the periphery for having criticised …
The IPL has more or less become the defacto selection criteria for India. So much so that players who did well in the IPL are even chosen to represent India in Test cricket. It is an ignominy that we the spectators will have to leave with. Having said that, this year’s IPL is turning out …
This is about Pant’s return and Kohli’s outburst. This wasn’t the first time nor will this be the last time. Unless Kohli is punished quite heavily, his on-field boorish behaviour will never improve. He is guilty of not respecting the opponents or the officials repeatedly. Yet, he somehow escapes everytime he goes overboard. It is …
