Indian Premier League 2023 March 31- May 28

[NYRB]

The equation is simple for KKR. Win and they are mathematically still alive. And lose , its curtains for 2023.

 

[NYRB]

MS Dhoni is playing right now, purely on reputation and nothing else. If he was in Australia, he would have been hounded into retirement.

 

[NYRB]

Hyderabad need a win tonight to keep their slim chances of making the playoffs .


I think Gujarat will be a difficult team for them to knock off.

Im just loving this IPL this year because, with 1 week to go of the regular season, 9 teams can still win the IPL.

 

[NYRB]

Gujarat are batting first

 

[NYRB]

This is a 6 hitting ground at Modi

15+ Sixes has occurred 7 times from 15 IPL games played here.

 

[NYRB]

Ravi Shastri 'fresh pitch, never used before'

 

[NYRB]

its do or die for Hyderabad.

But deep down they know they need alot of favours for them to make the playoffs .

 

[NYRB]

Finchy reckons there is a 'touch of moisture on the surface'

 

[NYRB]

Not a big crowd in for Monday Night cricket.

 

[NYRB]

Thats a lovely drive from Sudharsan and thats his first boundary of the game.

Their big boundaries on this ground . Similar dimensions I reckon to the MCG.

 

[NYRB]

Think there are plenty of 2's and 3s at the Modi stadium.

 

[NYRB]

Could have been 2 run outs in the first 2 overs

Some diabolical running between the wickets from the Titans here.

 

[NYRB]

if your a South African fan, your all chips in on the Sunrisers Hyderabad

 

[NYRB]

Jansen, Klaasen and Markram trio

 

[NYRB]

Farooqi goes for 18 off his 1st over

 

[NYRB]

Markram isnt that great a T20 captain for me.

 

[NYRB]

thats the poweprlay done and GT have bounced ball to be 65/1 off 6.0 overs

 

[NYRB]

Hyderabad fielding tonight has been absolutely woeful!

 

[NYRB]

if we ask questions of whether Ricky Ponting should remain coach of Delhi, surely there has to be question marks on Brian Laras reign at Hyderabad.

 

[NYRB]

Much like the test match between Australia and India here this year, pitch is offering nothing for the bowlers.

 

[NYRB]

Finally a chance taken lol

 

[NYRB]

more misfields from Hyderabad, this has become almost a comedy show now

 

[NYRB]

Hyderabad have really pulled this back, Titans were lookin at 225 at one stage.

 

[NYRB]

Team hattrick from Hyderabad!

 

[NYRB]

4 wickets in the last over with a ball to go. You dont see that very often
