I'll take this one. Expect initial remarks in 24-48 hours. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 09:05, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Before I start reviewing, I see that you are only the 7th biggest contributor, with less than 10% authorship, and nothing on the article talk page about you nom-ing it, which isn't good. Remember for next time you are nom-ing something for GA.

Statistics and Awards

All good (though can make the Most Boundaries heading only have line- Total Sixes- 2174, instead of newline, and similiar for fours)(not necessary for GA, will just make it look better)
@DoctorWhoFan91: How about the format used on this page? Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 11:53, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Umm, no. Shudders. Even leaving it as is would be better than this format. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 11:58, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have made a minor change to those tables now. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 17:23, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Playoffs

Add sources for the "qualified for the final for the nth time"? (I'll have to check though if the statement might not be WP:OR) Done

Lead

Add '.' between "League" and "The tournament" Done
Mention that Chennai is starting and ending venue bcs they won last year
Done

Background

Clarify that 2008 was also the first edition Done
Format- CE first sentence, weirdly worded, and explain how the "change in group order was done"- randomly, or by some rule? Done
mention the playoff is a type of Page playoff system Done
Schedule- Mention the election and the possibility of being held abroad, before the confirmation it'll be held at home Done
Mention due to being last year's winners for Chennai again Done
Expand marketing. Done
Expand broadcasting Done
All done, except Marketing & Broadcasting - because, they have literally nothing else to be expanded with... Which is why instead of their own separate section, they are kept as sub-sections. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 12:52, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Broadcasting- mention that's it's second year of the deal of this many $, after viewership etc levels last year? And for Marketing- other brands must have advertised too, and even the sponsors would have put out advertisements? DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 16:08, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, there aren't enough WP:RS covering those, I will add what I can find. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 17:11, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DoctorWhoFan91 I have added, what I could find with sources. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 16:08, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Will check, bit busy. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 07:14, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Teams

Add comma between returned and with Done

Opening ceremony

remove "the" before Chennai Super Kings Done
told: stated Done
First Nigam sang, then all three, then Rahmnan? Bcs kind of confusing. Also maybe hit in hit song should be quoted? Done
Was this it? Is it possible to extend? Done
yeah, in the recent years BCCI has been focusing less on the opening ceremony as it doesn't really have a public reception like some years ago. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 17:28, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay about ceremony. Clarify the Nigam, Rahman part though. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 19:26, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also, actually, you can expand it slightly by mentioning the time, and the match started after it, and maybe stuff like that, if there is any. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 06:59, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done

League stage

This is a big list, so I'm gonna changes by problem instead of listing individual cases.

Are records for fours and sixes really necessary in a summary? Either by a player or in a match? Done{not all of 'em)
Are records in a team really necessary most of the time? (as an example- Head's fastest fifty for SRH) Done
Are records for a team really necessary? Does it matter that it was the lowest or highest-scoring powerplay and stuff? Done
The last SRH qualified is not referenced. Done
This is not necessary for a GA, but would make the article better- are there more details for those matches which just mention who won the match? Like I know every match doesn't make records, but is there really nothing to say regarding them?
will look into it tomorrow. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 17:44, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
have removed some less noteworthy ones; and most of the remaining one are usually listed in a cricket tournament page. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 11:57, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
some remain, I'll go over them later (maybe they will turn out to be imp enough). Also, I take it the matches with only the toss winner can't be expanded due to nothing imp happening? DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 12:15, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As of the earlier revision, it had pretty much everything that can be said about it. don't think there'll be anything else. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 12:39, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
mentioned two statements that I have problems with below this. Mentioning, to ensure they don't get lost due to the length of the review. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 14:27, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
also, just noticed, remove the ref in the lead. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 14:29, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
both done. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 16:14, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have problem with two statements left

and the first batsman to hit 100 sixes in 19th and 20th overs in IPL
Travis Head equalled Abhishek Sharma for the fastest half-century by a Sunrisers Hyderabad player in the IPL, in terms of balls faced (16).

References

That's a lot of references, many of which are unreliable as a whole, but are fine enough for cricket though. I'll ask about ones which don't seem right(based on this version)

~~Ref-5: Mention ICC as publisher – not a site run by ICC~~
- Oh yeah, noticed now. Is it reliable? Looks like a blog
  All other RS back then turned out to be factually wrong, and as the only source available this one was added after a consensus between involved editors. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 11:10, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Okay
Ref-17: is socialsamosa reliable? – and independent site, but seems like a reliable one Done
Use publisher name, not websites where possible Done
Ref-23 has a CS1 error – fixed Done
Ref-32 has error – fixed Done
Per WP:CONSISTENT, wikilink all or none of the publisher names Done
Is LatestLY reliable? – not independent, but reliable Done(fine enough)
Ref-171 is a tweet? – removed Done
Ref 168, 169- Is OneCricket or Cricket.com reliable? – seems like, based on their site's about pages Done

Images

Just to make sure, that's the extent of free images available? (Like maybe Orange and Purple Cap holders and MVP?)

done Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 17:43, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

the tables look bad, make them smaller/narrower again. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 19:27, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done

I don't think so, they still look bad, on my browser atleast. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 12:02, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, just matches and look of tables remains. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 12:02, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DoctorWhoFan91 Could you kindly post a screenshot of how it appears on your browser; so I can work on it. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 12:08, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

they are appearing fine when I change the browser size. I'll check to see what the issue is and tell you then? DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 12:16, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed them, hope you are fine with it? DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 13:44, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All good and based on the fix, I guess the problem was the tables overlaying each other or something like that. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 14:05, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
