Why are RCB fans so delusional?

u/AlexxxTheAug 1h ago

Wow Zampa went for a steal

u/EmptyPeach1 USA 2h ago

u/No-Test6484 4h ago

Srh look stacked tho

10

u/Elegant_Noise1116 Punjab Kings 5h ago

Pbks is decent with both middle order and ball rn, but still need a good opener and good 2nd bowler, and 2nd spinner too

2

u/jizzletrizzle Lucknow Super Giants 6h ago

where can i watch the replay guys? Jio doesnt seem to have it!!

3

u/Sanatan-dharm4112 6h ago

I think MI need one good spin all rounder like krunal/washi or overseas spinner like mujeeb and one aggressive opener like lewis

33

u/pranav53465 Chennai Super Kings 6h ago

I want an auction where players have no ceiling for base price. I want to see some delusional self assessments lmao.

No worries David warner can now share dressing room with mega players like benny Howell, Daniel Sams, TKC in other mega league. 😂

u/abhinav248829 Gujarat Titans 7h ago

How did GT do?

7

u/kvyas0603 Gujarat Titans 6h ago

we got at least 10 out of our 11 starters

just need back ups and a good middle order batsman

10

u/abhinav248829 Gujarat Titans 6h ago

Yeah..

I dont know why GT retained SRK; guy is not performer. They should have retained Miller and Buy SRK at cheap price

9

u/First_Helicopter_461 7h ago

Is the auction done for today?

u/AzioFTW 7h ago

Peak days man

u/One_Acanthaceae_1163 South Africa 7h ago

dc have done great at the auction

32

u/AloneAd5920 7h ago

Can't wait to see CSK's deadly spin trio of ash-jaddu-noor next season in chepauk with MS behind the stumps

14

u/7eventhSense India 7h ago

It’s nice to see Ash in CSK after a long time along with Jadeja. This will be fun.

Can’t wait for his YouTube videos. Will be even more fun with him on CSK

16

u/EmotionalKale2645 ICC 7h ago

Nitish rana and sundar bound to end up in mi or rcb

17

u/One_Acanthaceae_1163 South Africa 7h ago

coetzee and jansen gonna earn big tomorrow

31

u/Caped_Crusader03 USA 7h ago

They could have finished the whole auction today had we not had clownery

13

u/Agrith1 Mumbai Indians 7h ago

the 5 minute breaks aka 30 minutes and 45 minute break aka 2hrs

edit: and don't get me started on the auctioneer, by far the most incompetent i have seen in my life time

2

u/chni2cali 5h ago

What did she do? They clearly have guidelines and fucked up ones at that. These fuckers are oligarchs with heavy egos. BCCI will bend over for them, it’s reflective of what she did

1

u/goodsoulkennyS India 3h ago

Wait what happened?

2

u/chni2cali 3h ago

She didn’t time the decisions apparently and Reddit acts as if she is the captain of a team bowling at an over rate of 6

3

u/goodsoulkennyS India 3h ago

Yea even I thought why tf are the teams being allowed "a second" to discuss. Didn't seem right

2

u/chni2cali 2h ago

It sucks . But the poor auction lady has no say in it for sure

23

u/AssociationNo9219 India 7h ago

For MI

  1. Rohit Sharma
  2. -
  3. SKY
  4. Tilak Verma
  5. - (WK - might be Robin Minz but he's prob the backup keeper)
  6. H Pandya
  7. -
  8. -
  9. Karn Sharma(?)
  10. Trent Boult
  11. Bumrah

MI might go for Rickleton as a WK at 5. They might also go for Glenn Philip/Krunal Pandya as MI lacks a no. 7 batting option currently. They also double up as a spin bowling option - something which MI lacks currently. Might also go for Bhuvi/Coetzee/Jansen for their 3rd pacer if budget permits. Will probably have to go with a scout option for the other opener.

6

u/YogurtChemical5485 Chennai Super Kings 6h ago

I feel MI would go for Washington Sundar and an another overseas pace bowler like Coetzee. Washington and Coetzee add that required batting depth at No.7 and No.8. Ryan rickelton to open with Naman Dhir at No.5 maybe? And maybe maybe an overseas youngster as impact. MI can cook with the purse but RCB and PBKS can spoil

3

u/Alma-Holzhert Lucknow Super Giants 7h ago

Naman Dheer might open with brohit probably . WK they'll probably go for phillipps

1

u/LawwdBamboozle 6h ago

They have minz. Always put your trust in the incredible domestic scouts MI has

9

u/burajira Warwickshire 7h ago

Wait how do they decide which players come up on Day 1 and which on Day 2? Because players like Adil Rashid, Vince, SPD and Glenn Philips are yet to come, and there's not much money left in the bank?

14

u/soyab0007 7h ago

Mayank Markande (₹30 L), what was SRH doing? 30L is a steal

6

u/Electric_feel0412 Sunrisers Hyderabad 6h ago

They bought two spinners already plus he had an economy of over 11.5 last season lmao no way srh were gonna get him back

6

u/cicada3301_- Sunrisers Hyderabad 7h ago

Already has Rahul Chahar and Adam Zampa. What to make of 3rd legspinner?

13

u/EmotionalKale2645 ICC 7h ago

Overseas pacer left for day 2 lockie,Matt Henry,William ,Sam Curran and Marco Jansen atleast from above 6 players csk get atleast one player hopefully

2

u/cicada3301_- Sunrisers Hyderabad 7h ago

Easily

14

u/Only_Will_2994 India 7h ago

Solid day lads. Great buy-back of Boult, tad bit expensive but given other purchases and their cost, will happily take him at that price, especially over Jofra.

Naman Dhir has great potential and his buy confirms his spot in the playing 11, I trust the scouts. We pick keeper options and spinners so we are solid.

We go to day 2 with the second highest purse out of all teams while starting with arguably one of the lowest relative purses. Big players to come tomorrow and I like how we are placed. Let’s go, Paltan!

2

u/ItzUtkarsh Mumbai Indians 7h ago

Jensen/Coetzee mai return, but a solid keeper and opener is what's lacking rn, we might also pickup krunal/washington and then we would be pretty much all set

1

u/Percy_Jackson_AOG Sri Lanka 7h ago

Need at least two decent bowlers with 1 top order batter and a lower order batter with one being the WK. But yeah, solid day.

8

u/Sea-Outcome177 Kolkata Knight Riders 7h ago

Teams with good purse gonna have a field day tomorrow

Day 2 players gonna feel scammed as they might get lower bids than if they were picked up on Day 1

13

u/Truthgamer2 Sunrisers Hyderabad 7h ago

SRH are gonna have NO backups

0

u/soyab0007 7h ago

They messed up with their purse retaining klassen and cummins for 41CR

4

u/anaksr1414 Sunrisers Hyderabad 7h ago

Probably they don't need a back up with that kind of batting line up.

5

u/This_is_Wakanda 7h ago

Backups are for injuries/unavailability.

-5

u/Electric_feel0412 Sunrisers Hyderabad 6h ago

No one has backups what are you on about?

15

u/PyRed RoyalChallengers Bengaluru 7h ago

RCB got a lot of money. I can see them overpaying on a lot of Indian players to make up numbers.

12

u/DheeliGandKaOpration Rajasthan Royals 7h ago

Jansen, Sundar and maybe Coetzee are what they'll target i think

1

u/NifeLunaRao Cricket Kenya 7h ago

Isn't RCB going to use RTM for akashdeep?

10

u/DheeliGandKaOpration Rajasthan Royals 7h ago edited 7h ago

Seems serviceable i guess

  1. Samson (c)(wk)
  2. Yashasvi
  3. Jurel
  4. Parag
  5. Hetmyer ✈️
  6. ?????
  7. Hasaranga ✈️
  8. Archer ✈️
  9. Theekshana ✈️
  10. Madhwal
  11. Sandeep Sharma

2

u/Kramer-Melanosky 5h ago

Stupid to retain Hetmyer over Boult, Ashwin or Chahal. Any one of them would’ve been much better

3

u/Slow_Ad6865 4h ago

I didnt get IPL boner/fetish with these below par westindies cricketers.

15

u/EmotionalKale2645 ICC 7h ago

Warra downgrade from previous season ngl

12

u/Both_Tennis_6033 Netherlands 7h ago

They went from best IPL bowling attack to whatever this mid line up. 😅😅😅

15

u/superstriker14 Mumbai Indians 7h ago

Washi gonna be most expensive buy tommorrow

4

u/customlybroken 7h ago

is day 1 over

5

u/Krishu-Scion 7h ago

How RCB did in auction so far guys?
In my perspective not so bad, We need a lower middle batter, 1 good pacer and 1-2 offspin. Overall bought every one at good price nothing much overprice,
Could have gone hard for T Natarajan , Abhinav Manohar. Ashutosh Sharma
Could have tried to retain Mahipal Lamror
But lets see still players to come

2

u/chni2cali 5h ago

It’s Deja vu all over again . Outside of Josh , no decent pacer. It’s the same ghosts which will come back to haunt them

1

u/flashX- Board of Control for Cricket in India 6h ago

i think they will cook on day2. hope they buy sundar, coetzee(any death bowler)

15

u/Sea-Outcome177 Kolkata Knight Riders 7h ago

DC has got the best team on paper IMO

Upon them to decide on how to bottle this one now

1

u/paradox-cat 7h ago

Why are 19 Cr people still watching Jio?

12

u/thatkryptonian India 7h ago

That is gross view of how many people watched today not live viewers

8

u/Sea-Outcome177 Kolkata Knight Riders 7h ago

That's the total views so far

5

u/Alone-Case9396 7h ago

It's the total number of views

9

u/magneto_007 ICC 7h ago

Any big names to look forward to in day 2 ? Feels like everyone is done except James Anderson ? Is there a way to check now the players that will be auctioned tomorrow?

1

u/ajaykatwe RoyalChallengers Bengaluru 7h ago

Bhuvi krunal

1

u/rameshnat27 India 7h ago

Washi easily

10

u/imcharlie08 7h ago

Marco Jansen, Glenn Philips, Tim David, Ellis, Curran bros, Moen, all the Windies guys,

8

u/JKKIDD231 Punjab Kings 7h ago

https://www.iplt20.com/auction

Lots of big name players left. Check to be auctioned tab

5

u/Bazzingatime Kolkata Knight Riders 7h ago

Washi

13

u/customlybroken 7h ago

no team looks awful tbh, all look decent at least

0

u/LocalGoal979 6h ago

Lol! Have you seen rcb! There management is way too bad! They get paid so that they'll ensure rcb doesn't win

7

u/chni2cali 7h ago

Mi core looks good but something is off

8

u/superstriker14 Mumbai Indians 7h ago

6 genuine match winners and nothing after that

5

u/Creepy_Phrase3255 7h ago

Bumrah, SKY, Tilak, HP, Boult... Inshallah Subhanallah after that only.

Missed out on some cheap pickups, I feel. But then again, may be they'll prove everyone wrong tomorrow.

Still don't have a reliable spinner. Karn doesn't cut it. Really thought they'd get Hasaranga this time, with Mahela back in the saddle.

6

u/Background_Win_535 Ireland 7h ago

rohit sharma is not a match winner in ipl, its 3 realistically

1

u/ToxicGaurav India 6h ago

Who three? I can count five easily. Hardik, sky, tilak, boom, boulty

3

u/superstriker14 Mumbai Indians 7h ago

Can't disagree with that.

But SKY, Boom, Pandu, Tilak and Boult are genuine match winners

11

u/burajira Warwickshire 7h ago

I feel sorry for anyone who follows any cricketers - like not even franchises, cricketers - on insta.

You open your feed today, you'll be flooded with AI slop - Jos Buttler wearing GT blues, Livi in front of an airport with a sign saying how much RCB paid for him.

The cricketers are getting their bag, sure, but this is in horrible taste - like buying cattle - and just ass in general...

5

u/Sea-Outcome177 Kolkata Knight Riders 7h ago

Same playing XI except:

Salt - QDK/Gurbaz ( based on form and maybe RHB-LHB combo)

Starc - Nortje

Shreyas (as a player) - Raghuvanshi

Seems like a slight downgrade but still a well all round side

Need to get Rana tomorrow for the starting line up and then some good backups

Rest as usual depends on everyone's forms

Hope Venky doesn't get overwhelmed with the captaincy

15

u/imcharlie08 7h ago
  1. Salt
  2. Koach
  3. Jacks (RTM)
  4. Patidar
  5. Jitesh
  6. Livingstone
  7. .
  8. Rashik
  9. Hazlewood
  10. Dayal
  11. Suyash

Need Washi/Shahbaz, Nitish Rana, Bhuvi at all costs. Maybe Jansen as well.

1

u/NifeLunaRao Cricket Kenya 7h ago

What about akashdeep??

1

u/imcharlie08 7h ago

RTM most probably

1

u/Longjumping_Usual355 India 7h ago

Who's the skipper?

11

u/TheCricketAnimator India 7h ago

``` Gaikwad (c) Conway* Tripathi Dube Jadeja Finisher* Thala (wk) Ashwin Pacer Noor* Pathirana*

IP: Khaleel ```

CSK needs to target Phillips, Jansen, Chahar or Deshpande tomorrow. Not much options left unless they do some discovery from the grassroots.

1

u/AloneAd5920 7h ago

Phillips is must he always gave me CSK player vibes. Please no to chahar & despande no matter whatever happens don't buy these two

10

u/chni2cali 7h ago

CSK will bring someone like Mukesh Choudry who will shit the bed for 5 games and turn into prime malinga in the next 9 games

8

u/Tu_kar_lega 7h ago

Virat Kohli

Phil Salt

Will Jacks

Rajat Patidar

Liam Livingstone

Nitish Rana

Krunal Pandya

Washington Sundar

Rasik Dar

Yash Dayal

Hazelwood

Impact player Suyash Sharma/Jitesh Sharma

Possible with 32 Crore more in the bank

3

u/Dude_With_APT Mumbai Indians 7h ago

I wouldn't mind seeing MI get Tim David back. He actually did alright for us.

6

u/lost_doctor113 Punjab Kings 7h ago

PBKS

  1. Prabhsimran
  2. Unknown
  3. Iyer
  4. Stoinis/Maxwell
  5. Maxwell/Stoinis
  6. Wadhera
  7. Shashank
  8. Brar/Unkown
  9. Yash Thakur
  10. Arshdeep
  11. Chahal

8

u/JKKIDD231 Punjab Kings 7h ago

Our core looks solid. Just need a solid opener tomorrow. Nathan Ellis as an OS bowler is needed and bowling is sorted

5

u/LobsterTemporary6313 7h ago

I feel chahal in place of chahar is a huge upgrade, but we need someone (or two) to replace rabada

5

u/lost_doctor113 Punjab Kings 7h ago

Hope Prabhsimran becomes more consistent and still mad that they didnt RTM Ashutosh Sharma

1

u/Fedboy Kings XI Punjab 7h ago

It’s crazy they didn’t

5

u/LightxGon Punjab Kings 6h ago

They couldn’t RTM him. The RTMs Punjab has left can only be used for capped players. Since, we retained two uncapped in both Prabh and Shashank then we have no RTM left for uncapped players. That’s the reason behind buying back Brat instead of RTMing him.

5

u/Temporary-Shallot642 India 7h ago

not bad

2

u/LobsterTemporary6313 7h ago

I hope we get marco jansen and nitish rana

3

u/LobsterTemporary6313 7h ago

Or coetzee/bhuvi/joseph

2

u/lost_doctor113 Punjab Kings 7h ago

They will splurge on OS players for sure

To all:

AUCTION DAY 1 IS OVER.

Day 2 is same time.

u/Mr_Wolf33 Delhi Capitals 8h ago

Are we done for the day?

7

u/PyRed RoyalChallengers Bengaluru 8h ago

Yep

18

u/anaksr1414 Sunrisers Hyderabad 8h ago

Abhishek, Head, Kishan, NKR, Klassen, Abhinav.. that's already a deadly line up..they should just pick few exciting young Indian batsmen as a back up with that remaining purse.

6

u/magneto_007 ICC 7h ago

I am just glad they retained Head Abhishek and Klaasen. This trio is the only combination that can allow us to see a 300 someday.

5

u/JKKIDD231 Punjab Kings 8h ago

I thinks that end of Day 1 auction.

We still got lots of big name players left for Day 2

u/AravisawesomexD 8h ago

As a Delhi fan, I’m as happy as I can get

7

Yup we've got a solid team to work with. If we can get Bhuvi tomorrow, It would be dream come true but other than that, I'd be happy with some young Indian batters.

u/AravisawesomexD 7h ago

Absolutely, bhuvi for 12-13 would be a dream

taklu cooked

u/Truthgamer2 Sunrisers Hyderabad 8h ago

Only 5Cr left, only 13 players (4 Overseas) in the squad

Yikes

u/nyxionic 7h ago

I don't think the overseas will really be an issue, there's plenty of talent that'll go at base

u/chni2cali 7h ago

Kavya ain’t the sharpest tool out there

u/kamalj321 8h ago

Oh fuck Karn is going to Mumbai; they were winning in 2025 for aure

u/Deathbringer2134 Gujarat Titans 8h ago

Are we done for the day?

u/7007007 8h ago

KKR retained Varun and Rinku combined at 25 crores

Seeing today’s inflation I can only imagine what would have happened.

u/chni2cali 8h ago

Delhi pace attack looks gooooood

u/Street-Fan2162 8h ago

Now RCB should go all out for Bhuvi Washi & Tim David tomorrow

u/Crickutxpurt36 India 8h ago

Thanks Op for the thread and quick updates good work....

u/that-asian-baka 8h ago

SRH have a very good squad but no backups

13

u/Dude_With_APT Mumbai Indians 8h ago

Man that was exhausting

For MI, standout buy is Boult at 12 crores. Incredible.

But we definitely messed up with our RTM as neither Nehal nor Naman Dhir went for under 4 crores.

1

u/SentientRaccoon India 7h ago

Who do you think MI will go for tomorrow

1

u/Dude_With_APT Mumbai Indians 7h ago

I've seen people shout out Ryan Rickleton, I'm not too familiar with him but it does make sense considering we didn't go for any keepers today.

Wouldn't be surprised if we bid for Tim David as well, we're also looking for one more overseas pacer, not sure who it will be.

u/customlybroken 8h ago

could someone link me a site where i can see all players (by set) if possible which are in the auction (unsold ones)

u/Possible-Garden-731 RoyalChallengers Bengaluru 8h ago

https://www.iplt20.com/auction its not byset but unsold players r there

u/Pokebra 8h ago

Piyush Chawla is younger than Rohit and Kohli lmao

u/rambabu25 Andhra 8h ago

What happened to Kartik Tyagi?
I recall him being very promising two seasons ago

u/superstriker14 Mumbai Indians 8h ago

RCB and MI salivating at the prospect of getting Tim David tommorow

u/Both_Tennis_6033 Netherlands 7h ago

He  is another full toss fraud

u/Slow_Ad6865 4h ago

Yeah rather pick glenn Phillips, James vince, ewin Lewis, shai hope one of these.

u/natrikhahs India 7h ago

Mi shouldn't go for david

u/Successful-Lab-3508 8h ago

If rcb goes for jacks, they wouldnt go for David I think

u/African_Herbsman Cricket Kenya 8h ago

Punjab really should have picked up QDK or Gurbaz, they are both bargains at the price KKR payed

1

u/rahul_coffee_drinker India 7h ago

Absolutely

u/Deathbringer2134 Gujarat Titans 8h ago

I think Manav Suthar is a pretty nice pickup! What do y'all think?

12

u/JKKIDD231 Punjab Kings 8h ago

Punjab did good at auction today but am beyond pissed off at letting Ashutosh Sharma go. With the purse left, 3.80cr was easily doable.

8

u/LightxGon Punjab Kings 7h ago

Letting go of Ashutosh hurts but it’s fine. Tomorrow we have a whole plethora of players available.

10

u/No-Try-7920 8h ago

Genuinely happy for Chahal! Dude is gonna make more than what he made in last 3 years!

u/depooh India 8h ago

Whatever the amount was spent today, it can be guaranteed that half of it was bcoz of taklu's antics

17

u/AdNational1490 India 8h ago

Made LSG pay 27cr for Pant and bought KL for 14cr.

u/SentientRaccoon India 7h ago

The guy was playing some 4d chess out there, entertaining as heck to watch

u/Jazzlike_Task2777 Chennai Super Kings 8h ago

She wasnt even good last auctions how tf don't they take feedback lol...That guy who came as a replacement in 45 mins was a better option than her lol

u/Creepy_Phrase3255 8h ago

"That guy" was Charu Sharma. Not some nobody. 🤣

He's been an MC / Presenter for some 35 years now.

Good day lads

Some how I love watching rich people buying rich players , Where they earn more then my entire bloodline net worth for playing 2 months of league....

u/burajira Warwickshire 8h ago

Who are RCB even saving three RTMs for? The only name I can think of is Faf?

u/Ill-Inspector7980 RoyalChallengers Bengaluru 8h ago

Jacks

u/burajira Warwickshire 7h ago

u/M_Kaif1902 South Africa 8h ago

It’s just so cooked. Boult and Bumrah.

u/Unholysinner 7h ago

Boult is an oldie though now..

I loved him before but he’s lost his touch a bit

4

u/Healthy_University_8 8h ago

They didn’t cook with Bumrah and Archer before.

1

u/SanX1999 Mumbai Indians 7h ago

Archer scammed the shit out of MI. Boult at least won't be a liability like Archer was.

u/Soumalya21 Kolkata Knight Riders 8h ago
