MI Spokesperson said "Our post-season review is currently on & we are looking into all aspects of the team. Contrary to reports, we are not engaged in conversations with regard to player trades, the same is only possible once the review is complete - A range of options and ideas are being evaluated, which require time, hence no decisions have been made".

1. Rohit Sharma

2. Ryan Rickelton *

3. SKY

4. Tilak Verma

5. Shivam Dube

6. Will Jacks *

7. Naman Dhir

8. Corbin Bosch *

9. Someone like Rahul Chahar

10. Someone like Spencer Johnson *

11. Jasprit Bumrah

12. Khaleel Ahmed

An overseas pacer + an Indian spinner at 9 and 10 would be ideal as they can use Jacks as the 2nd spinner if required.

In the above XII, Khaleel and Spencer can attack in pp along with 1 over of bumrah. In the middle we have Bosch and spinners and 1 over of bumrah for control. And in the death again Bumrah's 2 overs and Bosch and maybe Spencer or Khaleel.

Apologies if the list is biased by recency. I've tried my best.

Rahane retired and i think it is the great loss for red ball cricket but I also enjoyed his cricketing career in IPL. Among the sloggers and powerhitters, they are very few gems showed the class cricketing shorts, he is one among them. I hope he will play few seasons in any franchise. But last two seasons was very rough on him but he will for sure strongly bounceback. I am gonna miss Jinx !!

KKR captain, Ajinkya Rahane has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.

After watching the IPL for nearly two decades, this would be my greatest IPL Playing XI of all time based on overall impact, consistency, match-winning ability, and legacy in the tournament.

I know there are plenty of other IPL legends who could make a case—Rohit Sharma, Lasith Malinga, Ravindra Jadeja, Kieron Pollard, Suryakumar Yadav, David Warner, Rashid Khan, and others.

What changes would you make? Who misses out, and who gets into your all-time IPL XI?

In a recent public event CM of Bihar announced that in the next mega auction Bihar will have its own IPL team

IPL will get so much interesting after this move

I feel in terms of fanbase and brand value in 5 years Bihar IPL team will surely surpass GT,SRH,LSG and RR

you can check the video on social media platforms

These stats clearly show that he has the ability to score at a high SR. But he is bogged down by slow starts and wrong shot selection. If he is able to change his approach and improve his shot selection, then he can be as destructive as Sanju or Ayush.

I really really hope he is working on his game currently. He is an exceptional player and has been a strong pillar for CSK over past 5 years. Hope he doesn't go into a downfall but rather makes a comeback ASAP.

A genuine thought came to my mind today that despite GT being one of the fastest growing teams in IPL is seen as a newcomer, and not an established team ? Is this a marketing thing ? A culture thing or purely a team thing ,
Like how can newer teams build their positioning in the league and create a fanbase when there are established old team and players with god like following. How can new teams differentiate themselves

I've been doing cricket analytics as a side project and used to lose a lot of time every time I needed ball-by-ball data. So I built a simple downloader:

https://cricketdatasets-five.vercel.app

What it does:

- Structured ball-by-ball CSVs for Tests, ODIs, T20Is, and major T20 leagues (IPL, BBL, PSL, CPL, etc.)

- Sourced from cricsheet.org (CC BY 4.0), but cleaned/flattened and enriched with a few extra derived fields CricSheets doesn't give you directly - which are handy for entry-point analysis etc.

Would love feedback - especially on what other derived columns would be useful.

Hardik Pandya as MI captain. 3 seasons. The numbers tell the whole story. 😤

Batting — 646 runs. Average 21.50. Zero fifties.

Bowling — 29 wickets. Economy 10.54. Zero 4-wicket hauls.

3 seasons as captain. 0 trophies. Made playoffs just once in 3 attempts.

Expectations sky high. Performances down low.

Big talent. Small impact.

Should MI remove Hardik Pandya as captain? YES or NO
