IPL 2020: Team That Will Bowl You Over This IPL 2020

0

Don’t we often hear people say “I was bowled over by her performance!!!” or “we were bowled over by his intelligence!!!”? It literally means one was astonished greatly or overwhelmed by something and well, the world owes us cricket fans, this expression. That is the power of a bowler. The sheer control he has on the game. A good bowler can tame even the best batsmen on earth and can make even a small total made by their team seem defendable.

. And the best part about being a bowler is that he always gets to play his part in a match unlike a batsman, who might not get his turn.

As IPL 2020 is fast approaching, here’s our take on the bowlers who are going to show up in UAE, and how! The UAE pitches are dry due to the weather conditions there. They are spinner friendly and the team having a cool, calm and composed death overs bowler, who can get his Yorkers in place will be at an advantage. The teams having all-rounders in addition to the specialist bowlers have another plus point.

So here comes the ranking of teams based on the kind of bowlers and the fame they have garnered in the past. The teams have been ranked from the best bunch down to the least appealing.

No.1 Rank: CHENNAI SUPER KINGS

Medium Pace bowlers : Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur, Lungi Ngidi, Josh Hazlewood

Spinners : Piyush Chawla, Mitchell Santner, Imran Tahir, Harbhajan singh, Karan Sharma

Allrounders : Ravindra Jadeja, Dwayne Bravo, Shane Watson, Suresh Raina

Now that is one awesome range of bowlers and allrounders.

No.2 Rank: DELHI CAPITALS

Medium pace bowlers : Ishanth Sharma, Kagiso Rabada, Chris Wokes, Mohith Sharma, Keemo Paul

Spinners : Ravichandran Ashwin, Amit Mishra, Sandeep Lamichhane,

Allrounders :  Marcus Stoinis, Axar Patel,

Very good medium pace and spin bowlers but allrounders are average.

No.3 Rank: MUMBAI INDIANS

Medium Pace : Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Bolt, Mitchell McClenaghan, Coulter Nile, Lasith Malinga , Dhawal Kulkarni

Spinners :      Rahul Chahar

Allrounders :  Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Keiron Pollard, Jayanth Yadav

With very good bowlers and allrounders they have the right element of surprise.

NO.4 Rank:  ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE

Medium Pacers : Dale Steyn, Chris Morris, Kane Richardson, Umesh Yadav, Navadeep Saini

Spinners :    Yuzvendra Chahal, Pavan Negi

Allrounders  :  Moin Ali, Washington Sunder, Shivam Dube

Good medium pace and spinners but the allrounders are not great.

No.5  Rank: Kings X1 PUNJAB

Medium Pacers : Chris Jordan, Mohammad Shami 

Spinners   :    Murugan Ashwin

Allrounders  :  Glenn Maxwell, Sheldon Cortell, Chris Gayle, J. Neesham, Krishnappa Gowtham

Awesome allrounders, good medium pacers but only one specialist spinner.

No.6 Rank: SUN RISERS HYDERABAD

Medium Pacers  : Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Mitchell Marsh, Billy Stanlake, Siddharth Kaul, Khaleel Ahmed , Sandeep Sharma, Basil Thampi

Spinners  :    Rashid Khan, Shahbaz Nadeem

Allrounders   :   Mohammad Nabi, Vijay Shanker

Excellent medium pacers, good spinners but weak allrounders

N0.7 Rank: KOLKATTA NIGHT RIDERS

Medium pacers  :  Pat Cummins, Lockie Ferguson, Prasidh Krishna

Spinners :   Kuldip Yadav, Sunil Naraine, Pravin Thambe, Varun Chakravarty

Allrounders   :  Andrew Russel

Good medium pacers, good spinners but only one allrounder.

No.8 Rank:  RAJASTHAN ROYALS

Medium Pacers  :   Jofra Archar, Oshane Thomas, Varun Arun, Andrew Tye, Jaidev Unadkat

Spinners    :      Mayank Markande

Allrounders   :     Ben Stokes , Shreyas Gopal

Medium pacers are just ok and they have only one genuine spinner and one allrounder.

Each team has one magical player who can turn the tables on any predictions made. One particular bowler’s splendid innings or one allrounder’s surprise attack could take all of us by surprise, ya?

We will see you soon with a discussion about such magical players.Cheers!

IPL 2020 UAE: Analysis of the IPL Teams That Will Be Pitting Against Each Other

Now that we know the IPL 2020 is finally slated to take off on September 19th, let’s start our analysis of the IPL teams that will be pitting against each other. Has the change of venue swayed the match in favour of some teams? Has the player balance of each team come to the rescue or has it proven a disadvantage for the teams at this new venue? Well here’s our take.

To begin with UAE is not home ground and hence becomes a neutral venue for all teams. None of the teams are very familiar with it’s pitches. UAE crickets grounds are famous for being bigger and have spinner friendly pitches. There is not much bounce in it nor much pace. Moreover the dry pitches of UAE will make for high scoring matches as it is favourable to batsmen.

Spinners and medium pacers will have a good bowling spree on these pitches. Spinners could lead the attack and medium pacers pitching at the right spot could prove beneficial. That’s good news for teams that have invested in spinners and medium pacers. Also teams having allrounders are at an advantage. Power batting would be required to cover these huge grounds. These UAE pitches will require good technique in players and hence the best team with good technique will shine.

IPL 2020 UAE Ranks
IPL 2020 UAE: Analysis of the IPL Teams That Will Be Pitting Against Each Other 2

We have analysed all the teams keeping in mind the above-mentioned points and we have come up with a list of teams that we feel have an upper edge over some teams( that are not well equipped to meet the challenge). Here they are :

1. Chennai Super Kings

CSK has batsmen like M.S.Dhoni, Rayadu, Murali Vijay, Kedar Jadav  and Suresh Raina. With formidable bowlers like Harbhajan Singh, Imran Tahir, Piyush Chawla, Shardul Thakur and allrounder Ravidra Jadeja, CSK is a top class team.

2. Delhi Capitals

DC has batsmen like Shreyas Iyer, Ajinkya Rahane, Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Rishab Pant and bowlers like Ishanth Sharma, Mohith Sharma, Ravichandran Ashwin , Amit Mishra and Sandeep Lamichhane places them among the top favourable teams.

3. Kings XI Punjab

KXIP has batsmen like K.L.Rahul, Mayank Aggarwal, Mandeep Singh, Karun Nair, Sarfaraz Khan alongside bowlers like Mohhamad Shami and allrounder Krishnappa Gowtham helps them stay among the top teams

Mumbai Indians

MI has batsmen like Rohit Sharma, Ishant Kishan, Surya Kumar Yadav accompanied by bowlers like J.Bumrah, D.Kulkarni, Rahul Chahar and allrounders Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Jayanth Yadav give them enough scope to climb up the rankings ladder.

Royal Challengers

RCB has batsmen has V.Kohli, Partiv Patel, Shahbaz Ahmad, Gurukreet Manas with  bowlers like Umesh Yadav, Yuzavendra Chahal, Navadeep Saina, Mohammad Siraj have to show up and perform in order to pull this team up.

Kolkotta Knight

KKR has batsmen like Dinesh Karthik, Shubham Gill, Nitesh Rana, Rahul Tripathi And bowlers like Kuldip Yadav, Pravin Thambe, Shivam Mavi, Varun Chakravarty and allrounders—NIL. So we have to wait for the matches to begin to see what they have up their sleeves.

Rajasthan Royals

RR, the team from the pink city, donned in pink uniforms has batsmen like Sanju Samson, Manan Vohra, Robin Uttappa and bowlers like Varon Arun, Jadav Unadkat, Mayank Markande, with allrounders—NIL. Again we must await the commencement of the matches to see tables turn!

Sunrisers Hyderabad

SRH has batsmen W.Saha, Manish Pandey, Abhishek Sharma and bowlers like Bhuvuneshwar Kumar, Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, Shahbaz Nadeem ,Khaleel Ahmed, Basi Thampi, Sandeep Sharma and allrounder Vijay Shanker.

IPL 2020: UAE Team Discuss in Depth

We shall discuss these teams in depth in our forthcoming articles to see which teams have the fire to give us surprises and only the matches will reveal who the dark horse of IPL 2020 is.

Looking forward to see you all again!   

Sunrisers hyd have buuvaneshwar and kaul rashid khan nabi Hitting shots on such slow pitches and combined with big grounds and slower outfields will be more of power than timing.

To maintain the pitch as well as the outfield under the hot and humid conditions of Dubai isn’t easy.

We in Dubai international stadium have prepared pitches with clay imported from Pakistan so we try and keep the characteristics the same way it would be in Pakistan.

IPL 2020: UAE Statdium review

Criteria to be kept in mind are

  1. Dry pitches in UAE
  2. Pitches will be batting favourable wickets.
  3. Spinners will be very effective,next the medium pacers and lastly the pace bowlers.The team with more spinners and medium pacers are at an advantage.
  4. As 4 overseas players are allowed in a team,mostly 2 batsmen and 2 bowlers.The rest of the team is made of Indian squad 7 players,2 batsmen,Captain,Wicket keeper and 3 bowlers.Exception being a captain or wicket keeper being overseas player
  5. Hence the teams having top Indian players as 4 to 6, bowlers  and batsmen in a team will have an advantage,as the players can get enough rest in between matches.
  6. The teams having talented young players have an advantage as atleast 3 youngsters  will be given a chance to play every match.
  7. The teams having more Indian alrounders are at an advantage.
  8. The team having 2 very good wicket keepers has an advantage when the main wicket keeper is being rested or injured

Expected winning chances

 Accordingly the expected winning chances of teams are

  1. Chennai Super Kings
  2. Delhi Capitals.
  3. Kings XI Punjab
  4. Mumbai Indians
  5. Royal Challengers,Bangalore.
  6. Kolkata Knight Riders.
  7. Rajasthan Royals
  8. Sunrisers Hyderabad

The overseas players of all teams are among the best in the world hence this factor is nearly neutral.

All other positions are clear except  the 7 and 8 position between Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad . Sunrisers have a very good bowlers but Rajanthan have Stokes,Steve Smith ,J.Archer ,best players in the world in their team and Sunrisers have D.Warner,K.Williamson,and J.Bairstow.Equally balanced teams but difficult to predict who will perform well.

The latest news is that W.I players will not play a few matches initially because of their commitment for CPL and few other players S.Smith,D.Warner will miss first few matches. But finally results wlll depend on the player’s performance on that day which is unpredictable.

IPL 2020 Amidst a Pandemic

0

At a time when the world is reeling under the effects of the on-going pandemic of corona virus and its after effects, how justified is a mega entertainment event like IPL?

Worldwide, when millions of people have lost their lives, when millions of people are struggling to pay the price of recovery, when millions of people are so impoverished that they cannot afford social distancing as a preventive measure to covid-19 – does entertainment even come into the picture?

Well, the truth is, this pandemic needs to be handled by each country on it’s own, and thus create a collective fight against the deadly virus. Measures have to be taken by individual governments to control this epidemic. As statistics show, India is well funded to handle such a situation and The state governments have to act in tandem and implement what’s needed to do their duty.

And meanwhile it’s time the world goes ahead of this pandemic and resume it’s activities as this world needs scope to unwind as they fight against an epidemic. Jobs have to resume, jobs have to be created and people have to get back to their work.

So do sportsmen.

Lockdowns and social distancing are affecting people’s state of mind. They are bogged down by the current lifestyle that has been forced into practice, as a compulsion. In times like this, an international event like the IPL is most welcome. IPL 2020 is touted to become the most viewed international event ever!

It could provide an interim relief to not only viewers but also to the thousands of jobs it would create for people, right from hotel and lodging to air carriers, from food caterers to cleaners, from event managers to suppliers. It comes with a bundle of opportunities for the hosting country.

UAE by far is one of those countries where the recovery rate is almost equal to the covid-19 effected rate. Deaths too haven’t crossed the three digit mark! UAE has previous experience of hosting such matches (2014) and they also boast about having ample practice pitches and stadiums for the matches. Their infrastructure regarding the IPL or the covid pandemic, is in place. Also, Abu Dhabi and Dubai being the connecting point for various airlines makes it just more convenient for players and their staff to arrive.

“MS Dhoni along with the Chennai Super Kings is reportedly set to leave for UAE earlier than other teams in order to prepare for IPL 2020. “read a caption from a famous website.

So let us all too gear up for the time of the year :

Say hey, say ho, say what? Say yo!

There’s fun ‘round the corner, Yes it’s IPL, XOXO!

IPL 2020 in UAE Dubai

The news is confirmed that the tournament will be held in the UAE. They are just waiting for a few clearances from the government.

The BCCI had been contemplating for quite a while whether or not to host the IPL 2020 in India (as decided earlier) due to the intense outbreak of corona virus in the Indian subcontinent. Meanwhile, the Emirates Cricket Board is heard to have contacted the BCCI with an offer to host this mega event, assuring that all the infrastructure needed for the game is in place. The offer was accepted by the BCCI.

ICC T20 World Cup Canceled open Door for IPL 2020

It’s a matter of chance that this time slot was available for the BCCI. ICC’s Men’s T20 World Cup that was slotted to take off in Australia on October 18th was postponed giving rise to an opportunity to host the IPL 2020.

As they say, when one door closes, another opens, here we are finally with one of our favourite tournaments – the IPL 2020!

Details about the teams, the schedule of the entire tournament and the method of conducting the tournament will be meticulously planned in the coming few days by the IPL Governing Council.

This news is sure to leave cricket fans all around the world going gung-ho!

IPL 2020 What Next

Further details regarding the plan of departure for teams and the full schedule of the tournament will be chalked out at the IPL Governing Council meeting next week. But hurdles of all sorts are bound to arise.

  • – First of all, for the tournament to begin in September, the players have to reach the hosting country a month prior to the commencement of the series. They need to have enough practice sessions as they have been out of it for nearly six months.
  • – Providing a quarantined space for the 1000 odd people who are going to fly in, arranging for their tests to be done other than hiring private planes to fly them down is another challenge. Owners of the teams are being expected to pitch in with what ever help possible.

So hoping to hear from the BCCI soon in order to get more clarity on these issues.
