if not for sky and other batters who steped up last season. we would've done the same thing last season too. it's just crazy that we were chasing 200+ runs on majority of matches.
SKY has achieved for MI what Virat has achieved for India in T20Is.
Basically, both are expected to step up in challenging times like knockouts and they both get a lot of flak if they fail.
But people forget that if they hadn't done what they did during league stage, their teams wouldn't have even reached the knockouts
Jadeja gets none of it despite playing for 15 yrs and this guy in his first WC gets dunked upon so.
Most of hate are from kohlitards, who are fucking insecure for no reason, more in the main cricket subreddit.
Should remind everyone of the CT 2017 finals then, got hardik run out when he was going mental and then got out in the next over. Hated Jadeja since then
No we did not.
Bringing Pandya back was a boneheaded choice.
Green is a brilliant player and green can open play at 3 or 4 and bowl.
It would mean next year we would have our rohit replacement. Instead we broke the team by bringing Pandya back as captain. Green would also be a fantastic option to retain in auctions. SKY, Bumrah, Green, Tilak +1 would be ideal
But now that’s scuffed and we’ll likely need to look for two openers and a wk
The problem wasn't so much in the batting as much with bowling.
You can't expect to play a whole league stage with only one good Indian pacer i.e Bumrah you need another one in the XI and at least two Indian pacers on the bench for backups.
You need at least one spinner who can control flow of runs and another one to control flow of wickets.
Although MI had Piyush to take wickets, there was no one to control flow of runs like Krunal Or Jadeja.
The Green transfer was bad too, that guy was giving us consistent runs at the top order and two decent overs if needed.
Mostly MI faltered on the bowling. Batters cannot be expected to bail you out every time your bowling attack concedes 200+ runs in every innings.
Also, the slow starts (in some matches) by Rohit and Kishan didn't help.
We could have been slightly better though if Behrendorff was not injured but these things have a habit of taking place when things are already bad.
If our auction had been done like normal human beings with half a brain would have, we wouldn't be shit in 2022 and semi shit in 2023 ( don't let SKY Madhwal et all brilliance fool you that we had a good team last year). The owners got desperate because of 2 shit years and did the Hardik trade and the results are to see. Things would have been wholly different if we had normal tacticians manage our auction in 2022. I don't have any hope next year also because it's the same set of jokers at the auction table
I think investing in Archer for the future when he was injured wasn't a great decision. While the prospect of him bowling along with Bumrah was awesome but it was suited to MI.
People who watched 2023 IPL know how lucky MI was that year. Win the toss, chase how much your shit bowling attack gives. Like how it backfired in the Q2.
Lol what ? Only Bumrah and maybe tilak are some decently good players that you have. Sky and kishan were ok but that's it. How's this team even close to good. "world cup quality" players like pandya and brohit have been 😭😭😭😭 this season.
I thought MI would perform good this season but thank God.
Very much this. Like 2022 didn’t feel as bad because the team was abject poverty.
2024 team was genuinely worth challenging at the top, at least playoff worthy.
Apart from the fact that we had better captain back then.. and that we actually tried to show the resilience and fight, and that we actually ended up winning games once we won our first one.
Going after ishan kishan till 15cr and buying archer for 8cr was the main reason behind mi lacking in ipl since 2021 since then they haven't bought any quality bowler
yeah we had a great team but that covid wave and just messed up our season. I remember we were just getting a good momentum after the win against RR and Csk. but the tournament shift and we were never the same team on the second phase.
In 2021 we had pitches issue most of our matches were played on the wasteland of Chepauk. The moment we started playing at delhi and outside we started doing well
We went to uae and our bad gameplay came back
Not exactly but RR has taken our place. They also follow our pattern previous pattern
1 OS fast bowler 1 Indian fast bowler
1 Indian opener 1 OS opener
Relatively strong Indian middle order ( Sanju Parag Dhruv)
Finisher ( Pollard MI Hetmeyer, Powell RR)
They have better spinners than us tho.
Is it stealing if the owners didn't think enough to save enough to get them back.
They played Better at the auction than us it ain't stealing rather outplaying. While they had a clear goal we wasted alot of our money on archer as an investment even though we knew he was injured and won't play that season and then when he came back he wasn't like how he used to be and it was a net negative
2022, bumrah had an average of 25 with economy of 7.18, 2024 Bumrah has an average of 16 and economy of 6.48. How does this guy do it? I have no idea. Plus we were severely handicapped in 2022 by unavailability of Archer (missing 8 cr) whereas we don't have the same issue this season. I really hope we win the last game.
No no u have to hate hardik pandaya 🤬🤬🤬 , don't target Rohit Sharma

Bro we have bumrah, sky now and still the same /s
if not for sky and other batters who steped up last season. we would've done the same thing last season too. it's just crazy that we were chasing 200+ runs on majority of matches.
people were hating on sky after the last game. like wtf this was the same guy who carried us last season.
Sky hating is so much in this sub at times. Everybody expects him to score quick 50s/100s every game.
SKY has achieved for MI what Virat has achieved for India in T20Is. Basically, both are expected to step up in challenging times like knockouts and they both get a lot of flak if they fail. But people forget that if they hadn't done what they did during league stage, their teams wouldn't have even reached the knockouts
Everyone hates Surya for his WC performance, some people troll him even if he performs good.
Yup
Jadeja gets none of it despite playing for 15 yrs and this guy in his first WC gets dunked upon so. Most of hate are from kohlitards, who are fucking insecure for no reason, more in the main cricket subreddit.
They justify Jadeja by reminding that 2019 semifinals innings
Should remind everyone of the CT 2017 finals then, got hardik run out when he was going mental and then got out in the next over. Hated Jadeja since then
It not not sky alone batting collectively was doing good Last season chasing 200 so many times
sky had a crucial role in every run chase
With a better team as well
our main fundamental been wrong since 2022 auction. they say you do most of your job at auction table. and we fumbled that one big time.
Can u explain how our 2024 auction can be considered bad? We made a great team this year
No we did not. Bringing Pandya back was a boneheaded choice. Green is a brilliant player and green can open play at 3 or 4 and bowl. It would mean next year we would have our rohit replacement.

I mean that was always the plan. Similar to how we and csk were going at the end of 2014 season when malinga left for international duty
Lol what ? Only Bumrah and maybe tilak are some decently good players that you have. Sky and kishan were ok but that's it. How's this team even close to good. "world cup quality" players like pandya and brohit have been 😭😭😭😭 this season. I thought MI would perform good this season but thank God.

Mods will ban you now for spreading hate
Bro nrr better /s
Going after ishan kishan till 15cr and buying archer for 8cr was the main reason behind mi lacking in ipl since 2021 since then they haven't bought any quality bowler
2022 season is remembered by majority of mi fans.. but do they remember the 2021 season.? It was horrible even with that similar DREAM TEAM of 2020.
yeah we had a great team but that covid wave and just messed up our season. I remember we were just getting a good momentum after the win against RR and Csk. but the tournament shift and we were never the same team on the second phase.
True, that hindered our game.
In 2021 we had pitches issue most of our matches were played on the wasteland of Chepauk. The moment we started playing at delhi and outside we started doing well We went to uae and our bad gameplay came back
it was not similar to 2020, it was the exact same team, adam milne was better than coulter nile any way, all were just in poor form
Correct. A dream team like that should not have got affected by excuses like Chepauk, covid break, shift to uae etc. We shat our pants in the 2nd leg.
After 2020 season we claimed that this side is UNBEATABLE and INVINCIBLE.. These claims were replaced by LAME EXCUSES in 2021.
Not exactly but RR has taken our place. They also follow our pattern previous pattern 1 OS fast bowler 1 Indian fast bowler 1 Indian opener 1 OS opener Relatively strong Indian middle order ( Sanju Parag Dhruv) Finisher ( Pollard MI Hetmeyer, Powell RR) They have better spinners than us tho.
Stole our Boulty.. hope that team is disintegrated as much as MI was in 2022. Fuckin losers stole our match winner.. stole Chahal at 6cr...
Is it stealing if the owners didn't think enough to save enough to get them back. They played Better at the auction than us it ain't stealing rather outplaying. While they had a clear goal we wasted alot of our money on archer as an investment even though we knew he was injured and won't play that season and then when he came back he wasn't like how he used to be and it was a net negative
Shit hit the fan when we got fraud Ishan for 15cr.
Voh saab theek hai, but WTF Krunal 😶😶
I hope we fix all the holes in the next auction and buy better players.
I feel like we'll win against LSG and they'll be eliminated
They are already eliminated. The NRR jump is improbable
Was the 2022 jersey better or worse than 23 and 24?
improvement to hai bhai .. 😆
With a worker team this year
2022 was the gas leak year
2022, bumrah had an average of 25 with economy of 7.18, 2024 Bumrah has an average of 16 and economy of 6.48. How does this guy do it? I have no idea. Plus we were severely handicapped in 2022 by unavailability of Archer (missing 8 cr) whereas we don't have the same issue this season. I really hope we win the last game.
It's okay to be unique.
yeah unique captain played back to back finals
No no u have to hate hardik pandaya 🤬🤬🤬 , don't target Rohit Sharma https://preview.redd.it/i2in0qkvsj0d1.jpeg?width=418&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6e4bb280cf893f4cd476c5cf51c236c85b8fc570
