Comments made by Yuvi are very honest and true.Its ok if someone is supporting home players/team but why boo or heckle Indian players from other teams? But anyway the anger against Yuvi is nothing new.This time its more of frustration and pain he has given to some fans after leading his team's win against Mumbai.He was a good guy till the match against Mumbai. ![]() Infact he has been the best captain of all IPL team except Warne either with his field placements,choosing to bat/bowl 1st and even his post match comments.If other players are influencing him regarding some on-field decisions then this also shows him in good light in the sense that he is willing to listen to his team members and is flexible. In the match against KKR at Mohali when Hussey and Das were dealing in sixes that crowd there was applauding those 2 batsmen,which we all should be doing ideally for good cricket being played irrespective of team. | |

This is what we can expect depending upon current form.Only these two teams know how to win and have done well in difficult situations. Would love to see the final between these teams who are among least votes here. ![]() Last edited by rsjaurr : 22nd May 2008 at 15:40. | ||

![]() As pointed out by Wanderlust, we need to look at this as we would look at a EPL. Imagine ManU complaining that the crowd booed them at Stamford Bridge! Last edited by suman : 22nd May 2008 at 15:59. | ||

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I see no wrong in the crowd behavior. IPL is promoted as a tournament between city franchises. And looks like they are hitting the agenda alright. The IPL is supposed to be like any premier football league in the world. Boisterous home crowds would give a harrowing time to the opposition. But the same crowds will be behind the players when they don the national colors. Yuvraj does not have a case. Period! Dhoni's comments on the other hand were more mature and one needs to take a leaf out of his book. When he walked up as a losing captain to chat with the host in the presentation area in Mumbai, he said, the same crowd will cheer for me when I play for India in Mumbai. How very true! IPL will continue to invoke strong passionate reactions from the crowds. Heck, even the advertisements of the franchises are made like that. What did anyone expect? This is no gentleman's game! |

I know IPL is acc to EPL format but will anyone here expect same crowd behaviour and hooliganism which English supporters are known for? IMHO cheering and booing are two totally different things. But i agree with you on one thing...this is not gentleman's game anymore...it now businessman's game now. ![]() Last edited by rsjaurr : 22nd May 2008 at 16:14. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() They booed Yuvi and Sreesanth because a player of their city was banned because of Sreesanth. And with Yuvi as captain, he had to bear the booing too. Well - even Lampard is booed when he plays at Old Trafford, isn't he ? That's the way the tournament was constructed. If you think yuvi will not be cheered if he is batting for India against any country at the Wankhede, then you are wrong. He will be whole heartedly cheered. |

As far as Kolkata and other cities are concerned, I would never condone such behaviour. In fact Eden Gardens has a notorious history of ugly crowd behaviour dating back to the 1960s. I was simply surprised because you said you won't support Kings XI anymore, just because Yuvi made the statement about crowd heckling. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I have been reading this Yuvi getting booed at Mumbai during the game and agree with most response that the game is between cities and booing has to be taken understride. As a Indian team we have faced similar situation while playing overseas and the they too face the brunt while in India. Yuvi or anyone from the team may not get booed in any state or city when they play with the Indian colors. |
