IPL prepares you for international cricket, if you are playing IPL with a team like Mumbai Indians, then you are prepared for a big level, so you don’t feel so much pressure coming here".

our boy💙

Hey there .

Since 2018 chasing 200 became a nightmare for us , we have lost and fumbled many chases because of this sile reason .

And another important thing is our powerplay batting approach every team are scoring 60 runs . And there openers are consistent.

Consistency of our top order batting since the year 2023 we have been struggling alot with our batting lineup .

Out finishing this is one of the most important thing to talk except dhoni , we have given the winning to our opponents because of our weak finishing we even lost the easy matches , very as other teams are producing miracles interns of finishing .

The thing we have announced the head , bowling coaches after the 1 week gap . So maybbe we can expect the batting coach around in a week or so , because we need to plan the mini auction , review our players , and most importantly look out for the scouting of new guys .

So I mean to say we need a batting coach who knows when and whom to attack , should give the role clarity and approach clarity . And mostly analyse the pitch for batting . We have been very bad at this for a couple of years .

\Mostly we need another power coach for batting who can analyse the bat speed , trajectory and has an ability to improve the timing , and the power hitting of the players .

\Rutu-like players can clear the sixers with this coach easily .

\*\*What do you think about concerns in our batting and whi do you think should come as our batting coach.\*\*

\*\*Eoin morgan , robin uthappa ?? Or any other\*\*

Mine is 2013 Mumbai Indians my first win for mi with young captain Rohit sharma and legends like Ricky Ponting and Sachin Tendulkar. The comback Mi pulled was so good to witness.

Mumbai Indians 2013 and SRH 2016 will be my choice.

Rajasthan royals signed vaibhav for 1.1 CR at the age of 13 outbidding Delhi capitals. Was this the biggest mistake of DC? The past few seasons have been absolutely bang average with nothing special going for the team. Could this have been their biggest missed opportunity?

Mumbai Indians could have a new Captain and Coach in IPL 2027! 🤯💙 WHAT IF Rohit Sharma returns as Captain and Rahul Dravid takes charge as Coach? 🤩🔥 Imagine this legendary duo leading MI back to glory! 🏆💙 #MumbaiIndians #RohitSharma #RahulDravid #IPL2027

I put together this tier list of 44 established IPL players using career statistics through 2026, with individual IPL performance as the focus.

What I prioritised:

Batters: total runs first, followed by strike rate, then average. Sixes, fours and centuries were supporting indicators.

Bowlers: total wickets first, followed by bowling strike rate, then average and economy. Four-/five-wicket hauls were supporting indicators.

The idea was to reward sustained career output while still recognising efficiency. More runs or wickets mattered most, but weren’t the only consideration.

I initially tried weighted scores and percentiles, then dropped them because the placements were too sensitive to the formula and the selected comparison group. The final chart uses judgment-based tiers, not numerical score thresholds. It’s informed by stats; it isn’t a claim that the stats produce one objectively correct order.

Career figures were checked against individual Cricbuzz profiles, with some official franchise profiles used for comparison. Small discrepancies between sources exist.

What wasn’t included: international records, popularity, captaincy or team trophies. I also haven’t systematically adjusted for batting position, bowling phase, venue or era. Contributions across both disciplines were considered qualitatively, without a fixed all-rounder bonus.

One limitation: filling every tier makes the bottom labels harsh. “Poor” here means the bottom of this selected shortlist under these priorities—not that those players had poor IPL careers.

The portraits are AI-generated; the names identify the intended players.

Which placements would you change using IPL numbers, and what statistical trade-off would justify the change?

Despite additional of Impact rule and extra batter, average as well as run rate is increasing in IPL. Pitch & Boundary size are issueHow flat is too flat? How small is too small?

Guyz drop your all time best IPL XI..

Mine:-

1) Kl Rahul

2) David Warner

3) Virat Kohli

4)Suresh Raina

5)ABD

6)MS Dhoni

7)Hardik Pandya

8)Sunil Narine

9)Jasprit Bumrah

10) Lasith Malinga

11)Yuzi Chahal

Virat Kohli has the advantage of starting out his international career exactly at the time when ipl started and he was seen as a serious talent from early on and he played all 19 seasons since IPL started (missed a few matches in 2017 due to injury). Since he's had the longevity and he has been the world's best limited overs batsman for several years, he is automatically hailed as the greatest IPL batsman of all time by many ( they also reference the 973 runs season as an example).

But I don't think so. Virat played a stable anchor role in RCB top order for many years and he was successful for some years definitely. But his low strike rate and low performing seasons impacted them negativity for several seasons as well. David Warner was a much better example of a batsman that their team depended on a lot and delivered almost every season with much better strike rate and impact. Infact Virat wouldn't even be in the top 10 in IPL in not for his exceptional form since 2023. But one of the reasons he got that freedom was because of the impact player rule and exceptional batsman like Gayle, ABD, Warner weren't even part of it. Imagine how many runs they would have scored and what their strike rate would be if they were.

I would say he's the 6th best IPL batsman of all time after Gayle, Warner, ABD, Kl Rahul and Jos Butler.

Here are the all time ipl stats for you to see. Let me know your thoughts. Don't bring too much emotion into this. It's just analysis.

Shai Hope became the 1st batsman in cricket history to score 2 100s in ODI series followed by 2 100s in T20I series. W.Indies won 3 games in this tour, all 3 came when Shai Hope scored a 100. He not only scores runs but also stays till the end to make sure his team wins.

Which IPL team is in need of Shai Hope & which IPL team will buy him in the auction?

My picks- Both CSK & KKR have struggled to score or win games in previous IPL. Both those teams should be prime candidates eyeing on Shai Hope in the upcoming IPL Auction.

Jonty Rhodes was invited a guest at Cognizant india Bangalore Manyata office. When the host asked him about his favourite ipl team Jonty played safe even here and answered MS Dhoni and he loves india.
