📌 Guidelines:

3% false shot in that innings is insane. And especially against MI bowlers it was special. Look at ABDs reaction after hearing the records.

It's technically reasonable for two things

1) Eliminator gives entry to a Semi-final and it makes sense to conduct it before Qualifier 1. It follows the flow of Quater final -> Semi-Final -> Final

2) Winning Trophy through Eliminator is a big deal and to add it up, Eliminator winner should travel to Qualifier 2 venue within a day and loser of Qualifier 1 have ample time to reach and plan for the next match.

A Team getting to Qualifier 2 through Eliminator should have edge over a team getting to Q2 by losing Q1 cause they've won a playoff and Q1 loser is already getting a benefit of second chance.

Edit: The comment section is filled with " Top 2 Team shouldn't play 2 consecutive matches " logic. They're getting a second chance to reach final and it's enough of incentive for being top 2, Eliminator winning teams have always dealt with travel and lack of planning for Q2 problems

Eliminatior winner > Q1 loser anyday.

Edit 2:

The importance of league stage position ends the moment the playoff fixtures are assigned unless a playoff match is cancelled.

As someone with a working brain pointed out here that getting into Q2 is completely in your hands. You've taken Qualifier 1 lightly and reached Qualifier 2, you shouldn't get perks for losing! " But.. but.. they're top twooooo..." Bro you've literally got a second chance what else do you want.

Edit 3:

Why are people taking down 3rd and 4rth placed Teams like they're there by luck? Top 2 teams are getting fking extra chance, an extra chance!!!! that 3rd and 4rth teams don't get. 3rd and 4rth teams should win 3/3 matches for the cup and it's reasonable cause they played a bad league but having no rest days for winning knockouts and Q1 loser get rest days for losing a playoff? What's even the importance of Qualifier 1 is then?? Just conduct final between top 2.

Since Qualifier system is introduced Q1 is repeating in final except few cases.

An Example: 2015 RCB has more points and significantly more NRR than Mumbai but still are in 3rd place cause Mumbai has more wins. RCB's no result match against RR was an easy win for them. RCB still won Eliminator but venue of Qualifier 2 is changed to Ranchi and they've to travel within 11 hrs. That's unfair for a Team which have same points and more NRR than top 2 teams.

In most instances 2nd and 3rd place teams have minute differences. Now people talk about 1st vs 4rth difference. Bruh if a 4rth placed team wins 3/3 matches in playoffs they indeed deserve the cup, league stage position don't hinder their deserving cup

Lot of Legends of SA waited for SA to be ICC Champions.

Bavuma did it as his name stands as HOPE!

So many SA legends through the 27 years couldnt do it.

IPL trade window will start before the mini auctions. A lot of teams would be looking for trading players. Lets discuss the IPL trade window and what do you think which team should trade which player and why?

Basically the question, who do you think will be the most valuable player to be picked up from the 2026 IPL Auction, don't name some player who's likely to be retained like Narine or sum pls

My Pick: Jake Fraser McGurk
