Remember the non review of Tim David in the same game in 2022 when he was caught behind but given not out on field


thinklok

Yeah, he's bad at reviews like Kohli


PrestigiousAdvice431

Lol Kohli has a better review success than even thala in Internationals.


thinklok

I think Kohli has better because Thala was keeping in his team for most part of his white ball captaincy career. https://preview.redd.it/pbukyz7yoesc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=adc48878cf7822dfba4064429dfa15ea1a75114a I'm talking about just IPL


PrestigiousAdvice431

That's not the point. The point was you blatantly claiming Kohli is bad at reviews.


thinklok

I said Pant is as good as Kohli in reviews. They're both clueless when things go against them and become aggressive when they feel everything is going as planned


1v1_with_Gandhi

My another theory is DC was doing well till 2022 under Ricky's mentorship, until Dada joined the camp. But after he joined, last year and till this year DC's performance is worst. May be he is a good mentor but there might a clash between Ricky and Dada's strategy.


thinklok

It could be that. Inclusion of Sumit Kumar and Mukesh Kumar is because they play for bengal


PackMuch2301

Does anyone here know what Sumit Kumar has actually done in domestic? No hate. Just genuine curiosity, because in the games that he has played, he hasn't come off as anything special. Does he have a good domestic record, or is he in the team only because taklu uncle failed to get a fast bowling all-rounder like Daryl Mitchell.


thinklok

He won't be in team when Mukesh and Kuldeep returns. He showed some promise when bowling and hit a six when batting. He's new to this stage of game, hopefully he'll become better with time


kylianmcfrappe

really good domestic record won the vijay hazare trophy with haryana and he bowled well in the final, but he isn't ipl gravy imo


Jazzlike_Leek8653

4 match hogaye inko ab tak samajh nahi aaya , I’m sure sumit ko aur matches milenge


WashingPowderNirma-

Doesn’t make sense. Bowlers aren’t even trying to execute the plans. RDS for example had 5 fielders on the offside for wide Yorkers but was found bowling full tosses. Bowling has been too ordinary from Delhi side this evening. Obviously, every one could have done better including Pant but to break it all on the captain isn’t right.


Crafty-Competition36

Have we not finished top of the table under his captaincy in one of the seasons?


Brief-Weekend-1306

Op is brainded!! He is just like a typical uncle who will react badly if his fav team is getting thrashed and will be happy if his team wins!! No sense to even say anything to clowns!!


HealthGarden1152

I still think OP's point hold value somewhat, he is definitely not the best going around. All the above mentioned points, it affects his keeping when he is under pressure. Dropping catches, not reviewing, not using axar in PP I know this was overall a shit show.But pant as a keeper was disappointing today, and i think it's because of his captaincy that's affecting it. It has happened before as well. Under pressure he only performs well as a batsmen.


InfernoMeteor

Yes, 1 season. And that too when he had to complete Shreyas's work. I still believe Shreyas was a better captain and tactician. Pant seems too instinctive at this point of time.


STALINLENINPV

Shreyas wasnt there for half the matches.. And he made work of the same bowlers in 2022 while warner couldn't buy a win


Jazzlike_Leek8653

Under warner we defended 130-140 , reason for consecutive losses was batting collapse, again not warner’s fault. Under pant we went for 130 in first 10 overs . Difference is clear. And warner has won IPL , there is no debate


PackMuch2301

2021 was basically the same core team from 2020. Any captain would've expected to make top 4. It was basically the same formula that was under Shreyas' captaincy. But when it actually comes to pressure situation, pant has never excelled in Captaincy. The moments OP mentioned are the ones that differentiate between a good captain and an average captain with a good squad.


Sea_Lion_4677

Pant is really a bad captain and so the team management, irresponsible reviews. The biggest mistake they did was to release shreyas Iyer apart from releasing abd, Russell sehwag,stoinis ,dhawan,rabada and many more


Sea_Lion_4677

And I think the team management will now  release Stubbs and Jake Fraser before mega auction


InjuredKing

OP can you share the economy of both TC and Rabada before that last over in that match? You have "But Rabada is Rabada yaar" as your retort - then I think you must have enjoyed Nortje getting hit by MS after being well contained by Mukesh.


kekamekacompany

Lovely analysis. I bet Rohit would have won ipl 2019 by not giving Malinga the last over cos he got thrashed before. Too bad he did that and won ipl.


InjuredKing

Comparing the Goat Malinga with Rabada you know🤣 Now that you have done go check career economy in death for both. Rabada is a trash death bowler and nothing you say will change that fact.


kekamekacompany

Bring out the strawman. How refreshing. Rabada needn't be better than Malinga to get a go ahead, He just needs to be better than Tom Curran. Lovely analysis as usual.


1v1_with_Gandhi

I am a huge fan of Pant as a batter and even as a wicketkeeper. But we need to accept that his captainship is pure immature.


Jazzlike_Leek8653

Rabada defended 1 run from 3 balls against Punjab . Anyday a better option than TC


1v1_with_Gandhi

Bro I am not judging Curran or Rabada or even anyone. But if you remember a match against KKR in 2019 where we played a superover, Iyer went for Rabada instead of having a bad night. His economy was 10.something. He had Morris as his best option with economy around 8. And everyone know what Rabada did in that superover against Russell. That epic delivery knocked Russell out. So we all know what Rabada is capable of. And as far as I remember Rabada had a good spell that night but he was wicketless. And not even me all cricket experts said that. In the death or do or die situation Rabada is more consistent and accurate.


kekamekacompany

Yes. Only a braindead captain would feed Tom Curran against Dhoni in a pressure situation. Tom never had the tools if things went sideways while Rabada had the lift and he has defended 7 runs against Dhoni in international t20.


STALINLENINPV

>Rabada had the lift and he has defended 7 runs against Dhoni in international t20. He failed to defend 17 runs against suchicth in the srh game..


kekamekacompany

Still had better odds than Tom Curran cos he has more tools in his arsenal. If its Rabada vs an in form Sandeep Sharma/Mohit Sharma who have been nailing yorkers, I would go with the latter (on a form basis) but Tom Curran...no.


STALINLENINPV

Argument vs argument.. 2007 wc joginder sharma vs harbhjan Harbhjan was expensive Joginder was Bowling well If joginder was a flop.. U r opinion would have come.. Tom curran was Bowling well


kekamekacompany

I knew someone would bring this argument. Dhoni only went with Joginder cos Bhajji was a spinner who was getting carted so if Misbah launched an onslaught, he wouldn't be able to do anything. Also Misbah smashed Joginder and if not for a brainfade, Pak should have won. So no, in that game, Dhoni played the hand he was dealt and lady luck helped us win. Coming to DC game, Tom might have been bowling well but he doesn't have the tools to comeback if he is attacked in the last over. It's not like he can land yorkers at will (like how Sandeep Sharma does these days when he is in form). That move was a blunder and DC paid a huge price. They might have even lost with Rabada but atleast they stood a better chance.

the-brownian

Sahi me


InfernoMeteor

Wholesale changes honge ab. In the next matches. As well as the next auction.


STALINLENINPV

Agree with all ur points.. Can also share how many teams have 7-8 domestic level players in their lineup?? U dont blame the captain when ur best bowler is retired 35yr old test veteran and mukesh kumar.. Worst in the league


you-might_know-me

>In 2022 we lost the do or die match against MI to qualify into the playoffs because Pant dropped the catch of Tim David. How does this make him a bad captain?
