IPL 2025 🇮🇳

240 playing 240 every other game, more adverts and sponsorship than the Super Bowl, commentators on speed. No thanks

I understand English players going Right, good luck to them, but the media constantly talking about it when nobody bloody watched it or cares. They must feel obligated

I don't know anyone who watches it like, barring the odd game in passing I've never watched it either. I don't see the appeal.

Too thick or too greedy? ot both. To those with noses in the trough should realise there is a saturation point to everything. If you have too much of something it devalues what's gone before. It's not rocket science.

I agree wholeheartedly with your posts. I the IPL has too much commercial razzmatazz. Every collar and jockstrap with adverts on them, easrern block call girls as dancers, 100s of big cheques for godknows for what given away by questionable characters. It's way too much, and we haven't even started on the dull cricket on offer. If I have to get a cricket fix this time of year I'd rather watch the PSL. Good players,fewer teams, more inclusive and a bit more classy imo, an added bonus their lass commentators are topper in all aspects.

Sometimes they have 2 games on a day 11am and 3pm, but if only one it starts at 3pm

The tournament doesn't half drag, there's still another 6 weeks left of it

He was brilliant. Watching him hit Starc for 5 fours in an over was particularly pleasant viewing.

Rajasthan opening the batting with a lad who's meant to be 14yo. Hit 2 sixes in his first four deliveries, someone better check his birth certificate

Same 14 Yr old that has just hit 30 of an over. He's on 94 off 34, make that a 6 to make it 100 off 35. Amazing

Pretty sure this lad is 16/17 and not 14, but still a hell of an innings at that age.

 

[MustardAndOnions]

14??!?!?

Aye I’m always doubtful

Like some of those afghan lads like sorry just not having it, Doesnt mean it’s on purpose always, tough nomadic upbringings can be a reason
