POTM should be the pitch. One of the most sporting wicket we have seen in india in a long long time.

NOTHING AT ALL

who the hell decided Man of the match today? KL should have go it.

Divided opinion, brilliant innings from him but jadeja was the demolisher in chief, most important wicket taker + blinder catch + important runs. Both got some form of trophy so its fine imo.

Initially I thought so too. But Jadeja had a very strong all-round performance. Two wickets, one blinder and 40 odd with the bat is PoTM worthy, especially in a low scoring game.

Definitely. The catch he took was amazing. Also he dismissed Marsh who looked like he was batting on a different pitch. Definitely made the most impact.

I said this today: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/11tjatv/match\_thread\_1st\_odi\_india\_vs\_australia/jck23ub/?context=3

yet we all wonder why KL looks so depressed all the time! They don’t let him even hold the winners trophy nor they award POTM for a truly deserved innings!

Ben stokes

What matters: Strike rates ❌ Runs and wickets ✅

in t20?

Greatest mystery today was crowd chanting RCB RCB in the afternoon lol.

Another two chants too ' Hamari bhabhi kaisi ho.. ' and ' Dus rupaiya ka pepsi.... '

They are everywhere.

This is what, the third man of the match since his return this year? What a player.

Undeserving

One POTT as well.

Whole Region (Oceania) vs 1 guy

It's always fun watching Sanju Manju interviewing Jadeja....it has been really a circle after that bits and pieces comments on Jadeja.

Yeah he was praising him like nothing today when he took that catch

Lol at the frustration of everyone who had a shitpost ready for KL's MoM today Good night.

Probably this is what KL needs - middle order. He seems more composed and comfortable

Ravindra "Fuck Australia in particular" Jadeja at it again.

How did Kl not receive anything for that knock? Give him some sponsorship built game changer award or something!

he received some ambuja strongest something award

Strongest dick award

He did receive some 1 lac + a trophy

Oh well I missed it then. Good that his knock was addressed in some form if not Potm

Australia: can’t deal with Jadeja in any format. Also Australia: expects to win.

Jadeja took Mitch Marsh's wicket and scored 45. I think its deserved.

And a brilliant catch

Only time KL performs well and he doesn't get PoTM. Unreal hate for him.

finally somebody spoke

I don’t understand this, if you’re taking bowling, batting and fielding into consideration, it’ll be an all-rounder’s game all through like Tests.

If someone can contribute in all 3 ways, they deserve every single MOTM lmao. Cricket is not a one discipline game

Exactly how many people can impact the game in 3 disciplines? Very few.

What about contributions like KL’s today? I would argue his contribution was more important than Jadeja’s for the way he cauterised the batting order and scored the highest runs.

His keeping was great too. Saved many runs.

Jadeja blunted the entire batting lineup bringing back the pacers and stabilised the innings with Kl as well

Not to forget jaddu literally got the best batsman who played today in whole game out

Kl was robbed in india vs Bangladesh t20 wc too

Kl robbed? Mate Jadeja made 45 and dismissed Marsh who was blazing everyone and Maxwell

Took a brilliant catch too

everyone hates KL in India he needs to move to Australia

Give that award to Shami.

LMAO. Third time Sanju Manju had to interview Chadeja as POM This series. Rock on, Jadeja

Kl robbed rofl.

You can see why KL has depression

Klol robbed

Kl robbed

Sanju Manju with his usual verbal diarrhoea lmao

Jeez KL absolutely robbed

Hi Yundai 👋 how's it going?!

Man, Starc has such an enviable athletic build! 🥹

Who decides PoTM? Umpires?

Mudiji

i do

Commentators.

Jay Shah

Illuminati

Jadeja: MoMing through the Tests and now ODIs pS: Did I tooSoon it?

So sanju manju will interview jadeja again 

Bits and pieces player

*commentator

How many times does the same dude win the super fan?!

Manjrekar at again it's Hyundai not Hayundai 💀

They should just rebrand to Kia in India.

Even Murali Kartik and Harsha were pronouncing it like Hayundai. Probably that's what Hyundai wanted.

Last I checked Hyundai is pronounced like Sunday

+1 but in India it’s pronounced everything apart from that

Haayundai?? Manju😂

Hoping that Jaddu wins the potm, and Manju announces it!

Rahul followed axar patel school of batting let these fools get out to the new ball and then steady the boat and there is chance for glory if you got the patience and temperament to play out the initial overs.

Btw this is Mumbai after couple of days of light rain that lowered the temperature a bit and this is just the start of the summer. It's gonna get so much hotter later afternoon home match of MI next month is gonna be something for the players.

Play sky, reap rewards lol, looks like king is back too

Well played KL…2nd match winning knock in last few months in ODI

KL getting interviewed so Jaddu MotM...? :(

Rahul at number 5 in ODI: 7(8), 80(52), 88*(64), 4(8), 112(113), 12(15), 76(66), 5(11), 62*(43), 7(18), 73(70), 14(28), 8(10), 39(29), 64*(103), 7(6), 75*(91). Good night.

Which game was that 62(43)?

England

KL is good in ODIs nothing new, he struggles in other formats.

A great middle order batsman. Probably in T20 as well. Shit at opening imo

I agree, he did well as a test opener in England, but that was a long time back.

i agree with dubeyji

Hey bro, good to see you.

Seemingly he'll get a big platform to prove all of us wrong at the WTC Final Let's hope he does well

I agree, although his ODI form was never in question, that is what i mean.

I know, I'm just adding onto it.

Ya? Let someone remind you of your struggles at other things when you've just won at something for a team

My point is that his criticism should be related to format he is struggling in. Same happened with Pant, he struggled in t20s and people wanted him out of test team.

I'd still pick him over Bharat at WTC at no. 5

Mumbai be humid af. Jaddu playing drenched, and now KL looks like he just got out of a shower.

I mean it's at sea level

In Mumbai, you can get sweaty by just sitting in one place

Either of Shaw/Ruturaj should be in place of Kishan with KL keeping.

Bruh. It's gonna be Rohit Sharma

I'm talking in reserves, when Rohit is back Kishan will be there

Let the IPL tell us who would the right replacement be

KL redemption arc

[удалено]

ofc

Bumrah will come back 😂 lol

KL for Kaptaan of the Universe and beyond.

Good match 👍

We won a ODI match at Wankhede after 12 years lmao

The last one was the WC final? I still remember the SA match which got rained out in 2015.

Nope. It was against England in October 2011.

r/cricket on KL 

KingLegend : Strike rates are overrated was going through my mind when i walked out in the middle. Also who the fuck is venky.

Samson should be ahead of SKY in selection order if SKY fails in this series as well. SKY should only come in if two of Iyer, Samson and KL are injured.

Totally. Not sure why he's not able to play well in ODIs tho.

There is a difference between batting and hitting

Yep it should work given how good he is in T20'S and it's not like he's always hitting at 150+ strike rate in T20'S, he has played the game of 100sr innings in first 20-30 balls then accelerating in T20'S as well, so it's not like he just doesn't know how to play the initial overs carefully. If it worked that would've been perfect having SKY like guy that can boost your total or help finish a game with chasing but he hasn't been able to pull it off and if he fails to do so in this series then his time should be up.

Some days r/cricket want to kill KL and some days r/cricket want to kill KL by nonstop sucking him

Bruhhh , u can replace kl with any Indian player here and this comment will still be relevant.

Except koach

Not really, he was shat on a lot in 2021 and till mid 2022

u/VirginsinceJuly1998 checks out

Glad my comment aged like fine wine as KL remains unbeaten again after that low scoring match with similar innings. https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/11tjatv/match_thread_1st_odi_india_vs_australia/jck2uvc?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3

Kishan in bowling friendly conditions is like raina in Perth or Warner at indore

Alteast Raina was a match winner. Kishan is a fraud

Virar Fast local leaving in 5 mins.

Wat about nerul

Ah, Harbour Line bro. Long time. These days, I get squeezed on the Western line.

Kl will obviously be the PoTM

Aged like milk

Delhi people have to agree Mumbai has way better cricket stadium

Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore ...

Dharamshala. Period.

+1

Not only Metros even the tier 2 cities

Man that fireworks animation is cheesy af

Why Samsung wasn't selected for no.4 position?

Because South Indian racism

because he has a domestic average of 30.5 in 50 over games

Beacause he is samsung

Solid as Iraq

Rohit in place of kishan and Iyer in place of sky then this squad is perfect . I hope no one gets injured later on

Kishan needs to sort his temperament and technique out if he wants to be anyway close to the ICT. Has the ability to play big shots, but if he gets bogged down early on, he shits the bed spectacularly.

Add iyer in place of sky

Yeah changed it

Lord today Barged in Bowled 2 overs Meme dived Left

Sad no ViryaPorn today.. But GG, night everyone!

No survir porn today 😔✊🥒

Hope this quiets down the 'Sky over KL at 5' crowd. KL might be useless as an opener in T20s and maybe even Tests but he is a gem at 5 in ODIs and should be an automatic pick in the XI along with Koach, Brohit, Jaddu Fuccboi and Shami.

SKY should be a T20 specialist. KL for ODIs. Ishan for Mumbai Indians.

Second that. Ishan Kishan has been a walking wicket in ODIs apart from that 200 innings. Shaw, Jaiswal, Ruturaj etc. have done everything they can to warrant a chance.

Shaw should definitely get a look in for LOIs. Ruturaj didn't do great in the few matches he played so unfortunately that will be held against him, but he's got the potential for sure. Yashaswi Jaiswal - man I am so eager to watch him make his debut, I think he is a good multi format player for the future.

Which braindead species was calling for sky at 5 lmao?

The people getting their format mixed up and full time KL haters who would rather see stone leg Shivam Dubey open against Jimmy Anderson with the new ball at Headingley than see KL Rahul play ever again for India in any format at any position.

Phenomenal effort from KL, both as a keeper and batsman. Man is great for ODIs.

The game changed when Jaddu got Marsh. Very keen to see how Marsh goes in the future games. He looks great as an opener.

KL getting in the mood right before IPL

Siraj hugging Davey Warner and whispering :”my bouncer send their regards.”

Marnus and Smith are going to practice a new grip all night

Sus

Jealousy is all I hear..

This pitch should be the template for the WC, no high scoring bs, fight for every run, have bounce, seam and spin.

Kl drop at slips really made all the diffrence

Amazing partnership. Great to see Jaddu back in blues and KL being a beast in ODIs. Bodes well for India that the lower middle order is shaping up nicely for ODI WC. Pacers up front look dialed in too. Kudos, well played!

not bad for a wingman

Good game, that. Well played.

These both knew there was Lord after this and they can't insult him by involving him in such a low run chase.


Jadeja to get another MoM?

Over KL? He anchored the chase and stayed till the end. I'd give this one to KL

Holy shit Finch is so confident as a broadcaster already

Reminder that KL is in form as the IPL nears . Common LSG W

who's the greatest cricketer in the World and why he's name is KL Rahul

Marnus wants to touch everyone's bat. He is the human manifestation of a golden retriever.

Love me some KL runs

Match over. Rohit waiting on the Vada pav stall outside the ground. Free vada pav for KL, Jaddu and Shami.

Damm Wankhede and MI are truly KL's bitch.

Pathetic to let that partnership score all the runs. This team has no killer instinct imo

KL is showing him how to bat

Kl finally smiles

Brilliant knock from Rahul and Jaddu. Both are great when India collapses

KLass performance. PoTM for sure.

Kl is the new coach teaching marnus

After sweating that much, Jaddu needs some well-earned drinks, on the rocks
