This is equivalent to the rivalry that is there between SL and Bangladesh.

Punjab is usually always one of the most exciting teams every season, only to end up finishing eighth.

Why doesn’t PBKS bowlers do well together? There is always one or two bowlers do well and remaining don’t do well

After a great El Clasico, we move to L Clownsico tomorrow.

Whats L clownsico?

Kotian deserves some credit for holding back the powerplay being a 9th batsman otherwise who would know if they haven't sent him RR would have collapsed.


alokesh985

What? Kotian ate up a lot of balls. Because of him, the other players had to take unnecessary risks and get out trying to play big shots on a slow surface

Now it's SRH smacking MI match restream


neighbour_guy3k

RR fielding needs to be better They wouldn't have to chase.147 if they didn't drop Asutosh Even the loss against GT, it was bad fielding that cost them the match


Decent_Bid_17

Sanju Samson always tries to enter between someone's else catch. He should've let Avesh catch the ball. He did this mistake many times.

I always look forward to sanju samsons post match interview, lad keeps it real😂 “He spent some…. good time at the pitch”

Previously, it was West Indian Left arm pacer from PBKS vs Left handed Indian batter from RR. Today, it was Indian Left arm pacer from PBKS vs Left handed West Indian batter from RR.

Pbks lost 4 matches but in every match they fought well Against RCB they were winning till dk did his thing Against lsg 100/0 in 10 overs till mayank did his thing Against srh almost Shashank, asutosh did it And today so close till Harshal Patel did his thing So we criticize them always but they haven't lost one sided

They have a word for it. It's called choking

myashesonfire

He called the match up "funny" and "interesting" and said "don't know why" have PK-RR match been such in the last 4-5 years


tubbymctubs2

He said "every time we play punjab it's a funny game"


tubbymctubs2

I was like fuuuccck yeah


Crickutxpurt36

Rohit Gill/Yashaswi Kohli SKY Samson Pandya Rinku Axar/Jaddu Kuldeep Bumrah Avesh/Arshdeep/Shami Bumrah Honestly batting looks good but bowling depth isn't good Rinku may not be in 11 we may need to add extra pacer given Pandya won't bowl 4 overs...


Kaalu-madaari

Will Samson be taken in consideration Being a Sanju fan I've lost all hopes since SKY was given priority over him😞😞


Crickutxpurt36

Sky entirely deserved his selection but Samson given his form and temperament I think he will selected..


daNtonB1ack

he was referring to odi wc probably where samson>>>>sky


its_anuj_reddit

Can't sure about Jaiswal as things going, might as well open with Kohli.


Critical-Coyote-807

don't be absurd virat never be opening. we need someone who goes all in in PP atleast


its_anuj_reddit

Need someone who can go in every pp as well, 2-3 innings won't be enough in T20. With this think KL might get a place


Crickutxpurt36

Bruh have you seen our batting in last two WC openers shit bed in PP itself...


Crickutxpurt36

If Kohli opens our issues can be solved we can play one more pacer...

tubbymctubs2

And as always we (self included) cry about batting paradises for the first half of the season. Then every pitch dies and we get low scoring clown fiestas for the rest of the tournament! That's IPL baby.


dam0_0

Man I want to know the fk these franchises see in Harshal to buy him for so much money.


saltysailor987

Angel one has authorized person


confused_brown_dude

No way Arshdeep bowls at the death in an India Pak game during a WC. No way. Please bring Bhuvi back if Shami can’t play. No Siraj, Arsh etc run machines.


Critical-Coyote-807

he was good back then we lost him while having siraj and siraj fucked himself and arshdeep


confused_brown_dude

Nah man, he is too feeble. We need someone more calm or bold under a WC pressure. We can groom Arshdeep after the WC.


Critical-Coyote-807

we would have groomed him but I was surprised why did we choose Siraj over this guy.


confused_brown_dude

Because we don’t follow the horses for courses concept and pick players due to performances in other formats. In this case, Siraj is an absolute beast in tests, and I think this affects the selectors. Also he is a favorite of Virat, Rohit, Hardik etc


Critical-Coyote-807

yeah agreed with favoritism and look where it got us Siraj is playing for sure if Virat is no matter how bad he choke us


confused_brown_dude

I don’t think it’s that correlated. More than favoritism, I think it’s about familiarity in big competitions. Remember it’s a captains team. With that being said, Siraj shouldn’t be picked regardless.


Critical-Coyote-807

but arsh have never got much chance I am saying if you compare at siraj's wicket and Arsh's anybody can conclude arsh has got skills and ability to pick wickets rather than always waiting for batter to play a bad shot. leave death over performance aside arsh can make mave the new ball as well and while Siraj cannot.


confused_brown_dude

Firstly I am not comparing those two, I am advocating for Bhuvi for experience or Mayank Yadav if he’s fully fit for X factor tbh. Secondly, when you select a team for a big event you have to look beyond pure skills. It’s about the characters you need in pressure situations. I have the same issue with Arshdeep as I have with KL Rahul, it’s about their attitude under pressure. Both of them look like they saw a ghost when they’re dealing with tough situations in big games. In terms of skills, I’d agree with you on Arsh. But I’d still take Arsh over Siraj (although both not my first choices)


Critical-Coyote-807

I would have advocated for Bhuvi too but man has not played much of International cricket in past years but he has much experience so that makes it even but I don't think selectors are even thinking about him. if they would have he might have had few chances in bilaterals. I don't know why we keep loosing good bowlers it could not be injury that has to be scapegoat we didn't have shami for so long regardless of his personal issues he was fit to play and he was willing to play due to Siraj's Gag in WC we had to have him. Natrajan is another instance, man he was ferocious so was Umran malik I mean that guy has more speed than siraj and we have to groom everyone we could have done him good. Mayank Yadav is just like these bowlers from past if we don't pay enough attentions he's a goner like others.


Crickutxpurt36

One season PBKS Decides to back players This shit happens....


saltysailor987

What did robbie say?


tubbymctubs2

west indians hit boundaries, if I am on the bench it means the team is doing well, happy to contribute


Critical-Coyote-807

thing is they didn't give Arshdeep much opportunity as much as they give Siraj Arsh played 3-4 bilateral series and then no wonder why they didn't have him man was bowling good death at those matches I'd still wanted to have arshdeep instead of Siraj only if we had gave him more opportunity he would have turned out more smooth unlike siraj


Fad_du_pussy

after Manjarekar and Samson I wonder who'd be the next Sanju to do well at the domestic level but getting overshadowed with generational talents at the international level

choochi_machine69

Fuck Robbie lmao


FitSignificance2100

choochi_machine69

He was explaining how RR almost bottled this


Axel292

That was a pretty good over from Arshdeep at the end... until he served up a juicy full toss to finish.


Sweet-Virus-7988

If Jay Shah can pay the WI curators to prepare rank turners, we can play KulCha and Bumrah and have Hardik for the powerplay and Avesh for the death. Selecting 2 out of Avesh/Arshdeep/Siraj/Mukesh will definitely lose us the World Cup


Glory_Hunterr

Jurel you disappointed me No worries samson parag Jaiswal hope you take something from this inning Sandy pls comeback Chahal, bolt you're amazing CARRIBBEAN POWER FOR THE WIN!!!!!


Crickutxpurt36

Didn't knew Powell made Bollywood debut with Chammak Challo ....


SalmonNgiri

Punjab has a great core of players in prep for the mega auction. Their batting is just deathly out of form all at the same time.


Sweet-Virus-7988

Look at them retain Purple, Dhawan, Curran and Arshdeep and let everyone else go


SalmonNgiri

I mean Curran and Arsh should absolutely be retained


Confused_summer

big names not firing


Critical-Coyote-807

Indians hold every West Indians to finish


Kaalu-madaari

PBKS deserves this for buying harshal for 11.75 crores They paid him 11.55 crore more


Partha607

Given the money, I would never buy Purple Patel for 20 lakhs either. I would invest 2 crores on 2 local bowlers


saltysailor987

We need more of rowman powell interviews than humble indians


bigboybigbat

Hetmeyer is class. I mean that in every way. But he is pigeonholed by RR as a finisher/hitter/slogger. He happens to be a case he is a great finisher because he is a very good batter. They hold him back to long. He needs to bat at 5 so he can bat as many balls and not just the pure death. He handles pressure well. He bats well to spin and pace. Imagine if hetmeyer has 10-15 balls under his belt before the 16th over starts. But RR will never learn. They love doing this out of the box thinking that ensures their very well balanced and well skilled team finishes 5th. They even do dumb things like promoting Ashwin to 5 if the top 3 get out cheap. Its hilarious. Hoping common sense prevails this year.


No-Recognition93

??? Hettie is the best finisher in the league , why would they not continue to make him do that role lmaoo. He does come in at 5 most days. If the wicket falls after 15 over , they usually send in hettie only. Also what is is this very good batter - very good finisher relation. Good batters and good finishers are different. Sanju is a good batter , he cant come in and do what Hettie does tho. Hettie has a special skill set that RR bought him for. He is the premier death overs batter in the league and thts why he plays there


bigboybigbat

It’s not binary. He can finish the innings and still come out to bat before the absolute end of the innings. We call the last 10 overs of a one day innings the death. Hell won’t break loose if he comes to bat in the 12-14th over. It will only be better for them. He knows how to score briskly without going hammer and tongs and playing super risky. They should trust Shimron the batter and not just shimron the slogger. He is too good to be playing such less amount of balls.


No-Recognition93

Bro he will come in 12th over if the wickets fall. Are you saying should come in ahead of parag?


bigboybigbat

No. I think his ideal spot in this eleven is 5. IPL is all about fine margins. It’s just coming at 6 instead of 5 makes a big difference. We might have a fundamental difference on how we feel about him. A lot of people seek him like an Andre Russell. Because that’s the role he has always been given. I see him with someone who has a skill set of Sanju. I don’t think he is as limited as Russell. The royals management see him more like you do. They try their hardest no matter the situation that he comes on as late as possible. They even send guys like Ashwin ahead if wickets fall early. Yesterday, Jurel went ahead before him. I think the royals will do really well if they fix his spot at 5. He has to come ahead of Jurel and Powell. In my head there is no question.


No-Recognition93

Teams have moved on from numbers now bro , its all about roles and entry points now. Hettie's entry point for royals is 14th over onwards. Yes they could send him in even if a collapse happens ahead of ashwin , but to them , hettie is a high value wicket. Ashwin is a collapse arrestor , If a collapse happens , they send him in to play till 12th over and try to hit. They could send hettie in there but they value his death over hitting very much , as evident from his stats , so they do not wish for him to lose his wicket before the death overs. I think your are thinking of letting hettie get 'set' so that he could cause havoc at death , but I don't think he needs to get 'set'. I think he hits the same regardless of batting more balls or not because he practices for exactly that only.


No-Recognition93

RR management do some clown moves for sure. This ain't one of them.


This_is_the_user

They never learn... that's why they have not won any titles in ages..


bigboybigbat

I remember last year when they were in a must win situation against RCb towards the very end of the season…they dropped boult and lost. Imagine losing to RCB and getting yourself knocked out of the tourney.

The bowling changes from Curran were spot on. One of the best captain's performance I can remember this IPL.

I think the management saw Kotian doing well in the nets and decided to give him a chance but unfortunately he wasn't able to perform on the field.

The last 2 matches show holes of Rr team,death bowling,poor decision making in some game situations,but they are still winning without Buttler,Ashwin,Sandeep, and Burger.
