On 5 August 2026, Mohammad Amir said publicly he has not yet made up his mind about joining the IPL auction pool despite becoming eligible through British citizenship, while naming the PSL 2027 as his next T20 commitment.
The three most recent pieces, newest first.
comeliveipl7 doesn’t run a fantasy app, accept deposits or sell pick sheets. It runs a newsroom that treats coverage the way cricket itself does — one ball at a time, never cutting corners.
We’re not run by a fantasy operator or a broadcasting partner. Every match preview is written by a reader who genuinely cares whether your favourite opener gets out first ball.
Toss, innings break, fifty, wicket — the pages update when something meaningful happens. We never bury the breaking moment behind a wall of evergreen fillers.
Captain picks, points-system explainers, contest breakdown, common rookie traps — every fantasy page is written so a first-timer finishes knowing exactly why a pick made the cut.
Every IPL fixture, every venue change, every squad update from the auction window — kept clean in one place, ordered chronologically with editorial context.
Form is what the last six innings show, not what the headline writers are screaming. Each player dossier shows strike rate, economy, venue split and recent role before we ever call them a must-pick.
We don’t host APKs, sell Telegram insider groups or push referral codes. If a link on the site points to a download, it points to Google Play or the App Store — and only ever to the official IPL broadcaster apps.
The three matches that matter most over the next 36 hours, in the order they happen.
A quick snapshot of where the season sits right now — calculated from completed matches only.
Three match-led stories and three analysis pieces chosen by the morning editor.
The Rohit-led chase ticked along quietly at first — 39 in the powerplay, no boundary over extra cover — until a 17-run Hardik over flipped the momentum. By the 13th over, RCB had bowled out two bowlers and looked visibly unsettled.
The numbers on his slower-ball knuckle grip — and why Bumrah’s economy in the powerplay has actually risen this season.
Chennai have stopped chasing 220 and started playing match-ups. A look at the role reshuffle that’s changed their middle order.
Our neutral-venue ranking method strips out Chennai-flat-track runs and home-fixture pace tracks. The standings change noticeably.
Six pieces from the newsroom desk. Click through to the full piece for player quotes, video timestamps and tactical diagrams.
Long readHe’s said he’ll keep going. The BCCI hasn’t said otherwise. The Mumbai Indians are planning around him. So why does the rumour never seem to die?
AnalysisLess anchor, more accelerator. A look at the second half of his knock against RCB and the GT tactical tweak that made it work.
MedicalThe MI physio talked through the side-strain monitoring protocol. Here is the timeline for his return, what it means for the playoff push, and why Mumbai aren’t rushing.
LogisticsThe qualifier and eliminator stay in the same city, but the venue configuration changes. How the seam and spin differential could affect captain picks.
ProfileThe Royals have handed him the armband with conditions — including a freedom to take risks at the top. How the team sheet has shifted around him.
NumbersNot the leaderboard you might expect after 28 games. We break down the ground, the bowler and the matchup that explains every big hit.
Everything you need to follow the league from the first ball to the trophy lift — in the order most readers move through it.
74 matches, 10 venues, 4 time slots. Filtered by team, by date, by venue. Includes the playoff schedule and the reserve days.

Pitch report, toss lean, weather, head-to-heads, key battles and probable XI — for every match in the next 72 hours.
Every completed match with a 600-word written report, the over-by-over turning point, and the tactical moment that mattered.
Toss, team news, pitch behaviour, weather — all in one place. Refreshing as the match-day situation develops.

From the ten-franchise structure and the auction cycle to the salary cap and Impact Player rule — a no-jargon explainer for cricket fans returning to the league after a break.
Top four advance, top two get two lives. Why teams chasing the top spot matter more than teams chasing fourth place, and how the rain-day reserve window matters.
The bowling over is gone, the fifth-bowler problem is back, and the death-overs per-game stat is moving the other way. A measured, three-year look at the rule.
comeliveipl7 is a cricket journalism site. It does not run a real-money game, host an APK file, accept a deposit, or sell a Telegram insider group. The fantasy cricket pages here exist to explain a popular format in India — not to sell it. If you do play fantasy cricket (whether on official apps, with friends or through state-licensed platforms), please read our responsible play page for the guardrails that make it stay a hobby.
Skim this once and you’ll know where to find everything else on the site.
Open Live Scores, narrow down to the three fixtures going on tonight, and read each match preview. Less than 5 minutes per match.
Every preview has a pitch read, a toss lean, and a weather check. If the surface is dry and the toss is won by the chasing side, your captain pick shifts.
Use the captain pick page to shortlist three names, then choose one for captain and one for vice-captain. This is where most fantasy points live or die.
After the game, the report archive explains the turning point, why the captain pick worked (or didn’t), and what to watch next time the same teams meet.
A clean, easy-to-scan record of every past IPL final — by season, by year, and by squad.

Worth knowing before you trust the desk.
Match previews, match reports, fantasy cricket explainers, player dossiers, season analysis and the standing tables.
APK files, leaked squad lists, paid Telegram groups, or front-loaded “insider” picks. Those are someone else’s product.
Stats come from publicly available match data — scorecards, broadcasters, and the league’s own feed. Where they differ, we say so.
Lighter, longer, written for the kind of reader who likes the tactical side of cricket.
FeatureWhat changes when he bats at 4, what changes when he bats at 6, and why his economy at the death has quietly improved.
RivalryAn evolving rivalry between two teams that consistently find themselves in opposite halves of the playoff bracket.
NumbersMore sixes, more 200s, but not all bowlers are being taken apart equally. A breakdown by pace and spin.
A short note on the guardrails that keep the format what it should be.
Anyone under 18 should not be playing real-money fantasy cricket, even on apps they downloaded. This is a state-licensed age limit, not a suggestion.
Two of the three fantasy problems readers write to us about come down to spending cap. Set yours before match 1, and stick to it.
The single-best behaviour guardrail. Decide when you’ll stop checking scores, set a calendar reminder, and follow it.
We don’t host any download on this site. The official IPL broadcast and the official team apps live on the public app stores.
The official Indian broadcaster apps, on Google Play and the App Store. Where you can stream matches if your TV doesn’t carry them.
We don’t host or recommend APK files. If you do download the official broadcaster app, do so from Google Play or the App Store only.
If you would rather not install anything, this site works as a reading desk for the league — previews, reports, scoreboards, fantasy breakdowns.
If the desk has earned your trust, here is how that trust actually stays independent.
Every fantasy breakdown, captain pick and prediction on this site is free to read. If you ever see a “premium picks” section behind a paywall, you’re on a different site.
Where a stat, lineup or fixture comes from a public source, we say so. Where it doesn’t yet, we don’t guess — we wait until it does.
If we get a stat wrong, we publish the correction at the top of the affected page, dated and named. The search-friendly version is never quietly rewritten.
No. comeliveipl7 is an independent cricket journalism and analysis publication. It is not operated by the BCCI, the IPL or any franchise. Coverage is editorial, the writers are not affiliated with any fantasy operator, and the desk accepts no money from teams, leagues or apps.
No. Every match preview, fantasy breakdown and captain pick on this site is free to read. There is no premium tier, no Telegram channel, no paid PDF, no “lock-in” picks, and no referral code sold. If you are asked to pay for tips on a page that claims to be comeliveipl7, that page is not us.
The live scores page refreshes when an innings break, wicket or over changes — typically every few minutes during play. For ball-by-ball data and live video, please use the official broadcaster app, which is linked from the App page on this site.
The How To Play page explains team selection, captain and vice-captain, the points system, contest types and the difference between contests and leagues. Read it first if you’re new, and the captain-picks page second.
We do not host or distribute any APK file. For the official broadcaster apps, please use Google Play or the App Store — both stores verify the developer identity, which is something this site cannot do.
If you don’t know where something lives, this is the page to come back to.
Open the live scores page tonight. Read one preview. Pick one captain. Tomorrow, read what worked. That’s the loop this site is built for.
