Pujara if selected in playing 11 of CSK may need all 120 balls himself. Jokes apart I feel this is best for Che Pu and CSK.

No team will have home advantage in the 2021 IPL

In this edition of the VIVO IPL all matches will be played at neutral venues, no team will play at their home venue. All teams will play at 4 out of 6 venues during the league stage.

Why is Vivo the title sponsor? Did we not take a stand against them in the previous edition?

Says who? Punjab are playing so many matches in Bangalore, if you know what I mean.

Interesting development.

Suddenly, the strategic picks made by teams during the recent auctions to magnify their home strengths specifically may not suit them as originally intended.

In the previous IPL edition, Tata advertised the gold standard of hatchbacks with the Altroz— highlighting the music system and its safest hatchback crown. I wonder if they will advertise safety with the Safari, or just a healthy dose of #reclaimyourlife and Land Rover pedigree will suffice.

The first match should have all 22 players being driven to the ground on the four shades of safari, that would be awesome advertisement.

That said it is a well thought of strategy, nothing better then IPL to place your product for showcase to country and the world.

Indeed. Us Indians do love us some cricket. I remember one of the commentators in the Star Select Dugout (IIRC) was rather enthusiastic about the paid promotion part of the contract— so much so that it got on the nerves of quite a few people on reddit match threads initially, but his persistence and enthusiasm slowly turned it into a meme, and you know, everyone loves memes. People at least remembered the name of the car, even if as a meme.

re: The IPL Thread (Fantasy game league details on pg 238)

I really hope, Punjab Kings will do well this time. Always supported them Nd apart from 2018 Nd 2014, they always disappointed their diehard fans like me.
Their Playing XI for first 3-4 matches should be :-
KL Rahul
Gayle
Mayank
Pooran
Mandeep
Henriques
Meredth
Ashwin
Shami
Porel
Harpreet

Problem with team is, they can’t play Universal Boss in all the games. At 1 stage, they’ll need to bring Malan to open with Rahul.

In the 2019 IPL, the commentators were driven to the stadiums in Tata Harrier. There were videos/vlogs being telecasted in the pre- & post-match shows.

I guess it would be the same this year as well.

That would be Graeme Swann.
He used to make fun of Tata Altroz by getting overexcited everytime it was shown during the match. Although he was being sarcastic it worked and Altroz got the publicity it wanted resulting in its sales numbers. Something similar may happen with Safari.

Don't see them dropping Gayle easily. Last year he was the one who brought momentum in their lacklustre season and they won a few once he was played. Malan might be first choice in place of Henriques.

re: The IPL Thread (Fantasy game league details on pg 238)

So Mumbai (MI) Vs Bangalore (RCB) today, hopefully will be a good game. Wishing and hoping that RCB's new additions this year will make the team stronger and more consistent Of course MI are on a different level altogether, so it won't be easy.

On a lighter note, it's almost like a game of equals today because both these teams have exhibited the tendency to lose their first game of an IPL edition, so let's see who loses today

re: The IPL Thread (Fantasy game league details on pg 238)

2 runs needed off last 2 balls - will this be a loss from the jaws of victory after such a great show by AB deVilliers ? Damn, only RCB can do this!

Edit: 1 off last ball needed

Edit 2: RCB win, a great escape in the end!
