I traced players back to their most recent IPL auction and replaced the winning team with the penultimate bidder. This post shows what the IPL squads would look like with that alternate auction history.
If this trade happens, I don't think we can get a opener replacement that can match jaiswal , who ever they bring, it will be a downgrade .
Imagine Doom has conquered the multiverse.
Ted Wheeler's.
Doom walks into the Wheeler living room.
Ted is sitting in his recliner watching TV.
Doom: "I have united realities under my rule."
Ted (without looking up): "Language."
Doom: "Kneel before your God."
Ted: "What did I do?"
An emergency broadcast suddenly interrupts the television.
Reed Richards: "Victor has become a cosmic entity. No one can stop him!"
Ted: "Take it outside."
Doom: "I transcend time, space, and death."
Ted: "Mm-hmm."
Doom: "I command existence itself."
Ted (calling into the kitchen): "Karen... who's this guy?"
Karen: "Ted... that's Doctor Doom."
Ted: "Never heard of him."
Doom: "I have conquered countless universes."
Ted: "Congratulations."
Doom is now visibly irritated.
Doom: "I have conquered the multiverse."
Ted (changing the TV channel): "Nothing's on."
Doom: "Entire universes tremble at my name."
Ted: "Good for them."
Doom: "Bow before me!"
Ted: "I'm sitting."
Doom: "Do you not fear me?"
Ted: "Should I?"
Doom: "I have slain gods."
Ted: "Uh-huh."
Doom: "I possess power beyond imagination."
Ted: "Can you fix the Wi-Fi?"
Doom: "I can erase your existence."
Ted: "After dinner."
Doom: "This planet is now mine."
Ted: "You paying property tax?"
Doom: "I have rewritten reality."
Ted: "Did you rewrite the weather? It's been raining all week."
Doom: "I have no equal."
Ted: "Everyone says that."
Doom has had enough.
He walks across the living room.
He looks around.
He sees the recliner.
He slowly sits down.
Ted keeps reading the newspaper.
Five seconds...
Ten seconds...
Ted slowly lowers the newspaper.
Looks at Doom.
Ted: "That's my chair."
Doom smiles beneath the mask.
Doom: "You dare challenge Doom?"
Ted quietly folds the newspaper.
Stands up.
Cut to black.
Five minutes later...
Nick Fury walks into the Wheeler house.
The living room is completely silent.
Only Doom's green cape is lying on the floor.
Fury slowly picks it up.
Looks around the room.
Karen sighs.
Karen: "I told him not to sit there."
I don't understand why every Indian loss is treated like some disaster where people start questioning entire approach.
The current indian team had no experience in playing in these conditions, our top 5 never had played any t20i game in England. So yes , adjusting to the pace , bounce , dimension is a bit challenging where the whole approach is risk based game
But people instantly starts giving lesson like stop blind slogging , the team is a flat track bully and all . Do they all want the team to go back to that 21 , 22 dark phase ?
These same sena teams were getting scores like 120 in indian pitches where india was scoring 220 regular but back then for these hypocrites it was not an conditions adaptation issue .
yesterday proved he is built completely different. The kid isn't just a raw power hitter ,he genuinely has a good cricket brain.
There are such hitters in every team , but the only issue with such player is the post powerplay game , for example yesterday marsh post powerplay game cost LSG the match , but this kid smashed 68 of 22 post powerplay, He gets more threatening as he settles and does not need unorthodox shots to carry strike rate .Any day if he values his wicket and can manage to play 40 balls it is over for opponent .
The coolest thing about him is how fast he learns. If a team finds a weakness or tries a specific plan against him in one game, he fixes it immediately. Next match, he’ll absolutely demolish that exact same ball. He adapts faster than players who have been playing for ten years.
But the exact moment I realized he’s "The One" was how he handled his ego when Jaiswal was on fire. He’s a teenager, every franchise wants him, and the media is calling him the next big thing. It would be so easy to get greedy, try to match Jaiswal shot-for-shot, and throw his wicket away trying to look cool. Instead, he just quietly took singles, gave Jaiswal the strike, and kept his calm. He didn't care about getting a century, he just cared about the target. For a kid that young to completely forget his ego and play for the team is insane.
Every time he talks, it's never about his own runs, it's always about winning.
Honestly, it just hit me yesterday,we’ve always been the franchise that finds raw talent and grooms them (Sanju, Jaiswal, etc.). But we’ve never really had such generational megastar like who can even make my mom watch cricket 😭. It's feels like a personal pride when someone praise him
Hope the management never let go off him
