On the other hand, players have to work hard to maintain their place in the team. A lot of players are waiting in the wings, so a dip in form can cost the player his spot in the team. If the replacement performs well, there is very less scope for the player to come back into the team. In this IPL we have seen a lot of quality players get fewer chances due to huge competition for places....
Talk about the league had started to get heated up a month ago as the first trade window had opened and teams like Rajasthan Royals, Kings XI Punjab and Delhi Capitals exchanged and bought quite a lot of players. The IPL is scheduled to start on 29th March 2019 and will end on 19th May 2019. The tournament is most likely to be held at UAE or South Africa as the general elections will also take place at the same time in India....

Here is the list of 6 uncapped players, who are expected to be a regular member of their teams in the forthcoming season of IPL. #6 Mayank Markande The leg-spinner, who hails from Punjab, took the IPL fraternity by surprise in the last season, when he made his debut for Mumbai Indians....
IPL 2019 is no different, as the MI vs CSK rivalry threatens to dwarf all the other matchups this season. The contest between the two teams today at the iconic Wankhede Stadium promises to be a cracker of a game. The blue army and the yellow army have met each other several times in the past, including in the playoffs, and have given us many matches worth remembering. Apart from the intense rivalry that these two teams have with each other, MI and CSK are also the most successful teams in IPL history, as they have won the tournament 3 times each....
Jasprit Bumrah received the Man of the Final accolade for his nerve-racking show in the death overs, with a spell of 2-14 in 4 overs, while Shardul Thakur, Faf du Plessis, Kieron Pollard and Rahul Chahar won respective awards for their onfield brilliance in the title clash. With the tournament coming to an end, the players who had a consistent run throughout the season were also rewarded for their excellent brand of cricket....
#3. Faf Du Plessis for Ambati Rayudu Ambati Rayudu hasn’t performed to expectations and he is unlikely to get a spot for the World Cup team. His highest score in his last 10 games across formats is 29 and he has registered four single-digit scores in the same span of time. The 33-year-old has struggled big time against the pacers and looked uncomfortable against high-quality fast bowling. Rayudu hasn’t performed against spin either and has not looked confident on the field....
Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis were the openers for CSK in eleven out of sixteen matches played so far. Watson and Faf had managed to get 50+ partnership only twice while 7 times their partnership ended for 20 or less than 20 runs.

This year, Royals missed out the services of Steve Smith for the whole season and named Ajinkya Rahane as the captain. Their expensive buys like Ben Stokes and Jaidev Unadkat failed to perform as expected yet the team conjured stirring performances. In Shreyas Gopal, Krishnappa Gowtham and Jofra Archer, they found new heroes. By sending Jos Buttler at the top, RR changed their fortunes and sealed entry into the playoffs....
Kolkata Knight Riders would be out for revenge after getting kicked off the tournament by the Sunrisers in the playoffs last year. However, KKR does hold a better record in their faceoffs so far having won 9 out of the 15 matches the teams have faced off in. It would be interesting to see how the match plays out in yet another spin-friendly team line up. While Knight Riders can boast of players like Piyush Chawla, Kuldeep Yadav, and Sunil Narine, Sunrisers can proudly claim to have Rashid Khan, Shakib Al Hasan, and Shahbaz Nadeem in their corner....
RCB have a lot to consider ahead of this match and they have to pick the right playing XI in order to succeed. KKR will most likely have star all-rounder Sunil Narine return from injury and join his partner Chris Lynn to form a formidable opening pair. With both teams pretty equal in strength, it will be a question of form and determination and here are 3 reasons why KKR will win the match....
In case you didn’t know… CSK fans have treated Dhoni as their own ever since he joined the franchise. He has led them to the IPL title three times, and the people of Tamil Nadu have nicknamed him ‘Thala’ (Boss). The heart of the matter Chennai hosted the Delhi Capitals in the 50th match of the season on Wednesday. The return of Dhoni boosted the Super Kings camp, and he did justice by playing a fabulous innings of 44 runs in just 22 balls....
Indian Premier League season 12 starts on 23rd March 2019. Some of the players who played in Big Bash 2018/19 will be playing in IPL 12. Unfortunately, none of the Indian cricketers were permitted to ply their trade in the Men’s Big Bash much like earlier seasons. Big Bash gave some key moments. IPL players expressed their skills ahead of the 2019 edition of the marquee tournament. While an excellent outing in Big Bash does not necessarily imply that the same would happen in IPL, it is still an important statement....

Aakash Chopra started by questioning the strategies adopted by the Kolkata Knight Riders, both during their batting and their bowling effort. The reputed commentator pointed out that the Kings XI Punjab got off to the perfect start by dismissing three Kolkata Knight Riders batsmen by the end of the second over, with Mohammed Shami being the wrecker-in-chief....

RR also have a world-class overseas contingent comprising of Jofra Archer, Steve Smith, Ben Stokes (if he participates in IPL 2020) and Jos Buttler.

The IPL points table 2020 list has been updated!! Click here to see. It is a must-win game for RR because if they lose, they will be out of IPL 2020. KXIP can afford to lose one game but then they will be depending on other results to qualify. It is not only an important game for these two teams but also those like KKR and SRH. The last time these two teams met we saw a Rahul Tewatia special and a thrilling encounter and we can expect something similar once again from these two teams....

He said on his YouTube channel: He added that RCB’s poor outing against KKR has opened the door for lower-placed teams to push their way into the top four....
The official IPL website uploaded a clip of the Prithvi Shaw masterclass. You can check out the clip here. Shivam Mavi started his spell with a wide down the leg side and sadly it all went downhill for the young pacer from that point. Each of his six legal deliveries were smacked for fours by a determined Prithvi Shaw as the Delhi Capitals opener came out firing on all cylinders....
The quartet of Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Glenn Maxwell and Devdutt Padikkal have worked wonders for the Bangalore-based franchise. They have defeated the Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals in IPL 2021 so far. Given how the Punjab Kings have performed in IPL 2021 so far, it will not be a surprise if RCB record their sixth win of the season tonight.
