IPL Xtra

[IPL Xtra @IPL_Xtra]

@ragav_x It's very simple. 1 3 5 in one group 2 4 6 in other . 7 & 8 interchanged just to ensure India vs Pak to generate revenue & viewership . How the hell it's rigged? Team India was poor in the field & outplayed by Aus & SA & they deserve to be in SF. No point in playing blame game.

Can someone recommend a reliable and good institute for 1 on 1 mentorship for UPSC? Mentor should be accessible and sessions should be as long as I want. I want tracking of my progress, evaluation of answers, feedback, cut down on sources, identify my areas of improvement. #UPSC

What @cricketaakash had been saying again and again regarding subbing out the best bowler, LSG will regret subbing out Mohsin Khan. He was the best bowler of the day. Also LSG have erred in sending Pooran to bat in the super over when he is going through worst form. #LSGvsKKR

[IPL Xtra @IPL_Xtra]

Mayank & Avesh are the backups who would have been definite starters in other teams.
They are let down by spin department. Shouldn't have released Bishnoi. Batting is their major flaw this year. If they sort out the batting in next auction, they will be through Playoffs.

LSG has everything in their pace bowling arsenal.
1. Mohsin Khan - Underrated gem with variations (9wkts 6.38 eco 3 maidens)
2. Prince Yadav - Raw pace (13 wkts 8eco)
3. Shami - Leading the pace attack very well (7wkts 8 eco)

IMO RCB's plan to go with 5 bowlers backfires a bit. It enables the opponent to get 20 odd extra runs. Even today Shepherd gave away 17 runs & Rasikh's injury forced to bowl Krunal who gave away 18 runs. GT got 15 runs extra. The target is 206 which could have been 190-195. #RCB

Since it's RCB vs GT, @AnanyaBirlaX @ananya_birla is supporting which team? Birla Estates is the principal sponsor for GT and Birla Group is the new owner of RCB. Whom is she supporting today? Is she present in the stands? #RCBvsGT #RCB #Birla

I feel CSK vs RCB has become new rivalry of IPL. CSK vs MI doesn't excite that much. CSK vs RCB has become the new El Classico of IPL

[IPL Xtra @IPL_Xtra]

CSK scored 71 off 10 overs of spin. KKR read the pitch well and went with 3 spinners. The spin really choked them. I think Ruturaj should play at 3 now. And today Dube should have come before Sarfaraz. In the end, Dube played a net negative knock. I hope Noor, Akeal do well.

[IPL Xtra @IPL_Xtra]

30 runs in last 4 overs in modern day T20 cricket is simply unacceptable especially if you have your designated finisher on strike. KKR have gained the momentum in last 4 overs and they should back themselves to chase this. CSK are clearly 20-30 runs short.

[IPL Xtra @IPL_Xtra]

Why is Hazlewood dropped today? Abhinandan was expected to be dropped. But why hazlewood? Is the injury back? @cricbuzz #AskCB @Rcb_Xtra @cricketaakash @jatinsapru

[IPL Xtra @IPL_Xtra]

RCB should replace Abhinandan with Mangesh. Abhinandan is raw, not yet ready for the big stage. It will strengthen the batting too. #RCB

[IPL Xtra @IPL_Xtra]

They need to change the approach, in fact a total reset. We all saw what RCB did with the reset in their coaching group bringing Flower, Mo Bobat, DK, Malo and analyst Freddie. Hopefully they realise this before 2028 mega auction.

[IPL Xtra @IPL_Xtra]

CSK's approach in deciding the XI is clearly baffling. If you don't wanna bowl Prashant Veer, play Urvil instead of him. He clearly gave glimpse of what he could he do last season. CSK need Brevis asap. The bowling has really let them down. They erred in getting good replacement.

@Olacabs @ola_supports I made a parcel booking on Ola for which fare was 47 but the rider demanded 60 to which I was forced to pay as I had to receive the parcel which contained food. The screenshots of fare & payment are attached. Kindly take action & refund the amount.

[IPL Xtra @IPL_Xtra]

CSK had 2.4cr left after IPL 2026 auction. They should have gone for Cooper Conolly or Michael Bracewell instead of Matt Short and Dasun Shanaka instead of Zak Foulkes.

[IPL Xtra @IPL_Xtra]

Seems like a strategic decision to try a Playing XII without Thala because he batted in the practice match in both innings and hit some beautiful shots. If it clicks, he might be included in Impact Sub list. It's definitely last season for Thala. #Thala #CSK #IPL2026

MS Dhoni is currently undergoing rehabilitation for a calf strain. As a result, he is likely to miss the first two weeks of TATA IPL 2026.

Get well soon, Thala! 💛🦁

I told it before Rutu and Sanju might open instead of Ayush and Sanju. Urvil or Sarfaraz might play at 3.
