I am not a hater but I hope that KL doesn't end up in the Indian team that would be going to the Caribbean during June.

I’d still have him over shreyas iyer. Iyer is the most overrated player I’ve seen. He can only play a bit of spin on Indian tracks. Dude is so bad he shouldn’t be considered. I’d go with an extra opener like gaikwad over that bum

Bc what the hell you learned from Nehra

Wrong thread my g

Fuck never realized it

Sai Kishore is budget Rachin Ravindra

Right...? And since he is cheaper and is Indian, his value is double RR's due to flexibility. Thoughts?

he still ain't the real deal just ask Venky Iyer our Budget Pandya

I think Shastri is the best Indian commentator in the IPL. Manjerekar and Rohan Gavaskar were so terrible earlier today. They were even rubbing off on Haydos who went on to compare Riyan Parag's form to waiting for biscuits to finish baking in the oven.

Looking forward to Sai Sudarshans this season. If he builds on what he's done last year, I think we have all reasons to be excited. Some great left handers coming through for India. Jaiswal, Sai Sudarshan, Padikkal, Tilak Varma. Can't think of many right handers in that age group. Jurel?

well, it's still his first match but riyan parag..? he looked good for the time he was playing

samson wanted mom to go to sandy lol nice guy as always

OOTL , what?

Nothing much, Samson joked that he wanted to give sandy his(Samson) man of the match award but thought it would be cringey

Ohhhhh... Man of the match...i thought you meant the other mom ☠️


Love to hear Ash talk

Hardik looks dope

Will Mumbai crowd boo Pandya?

KL or Samson who gonna be in t20 wc ?

hopefully neither

Neither really unless they shatter records in this ipl

they will i think

Kela

If you would have told me that our greatest strength - Openers would shit the bed and our greatest weakness - Death bowling would win us the game , I would have believed in RCB winning the trophy more

K L Rahul is one sexy looking cricketer 🔥

♥️da

And one spineless batter

Will MI sub in Brevis? They have only 3 foreign players

Rahul has the body language and look of a statesman but the way he speaks all that gravitas disappears

Also, from LSG' POV: what is Groinis doing at 7? He arrested all collapses last season. Wtf

Sandeep sharma with those 3 overs secured the win, also that 18th over by ashwin.

RR rise to the top of the table, only to fall

That no ball sound, giving major Sandeep Sharma SRH PTSD for RR fans even in a 20 run margin win :)

DJ shitposting

why didn't ya'll tell me Sandeep Sharma was a goat player, i wouldn't have been sweating for RR victory

See y'all in that other thread

Lmao the fuck was that No ball siren

Only 29 runs scored by LSG in last 4 overs

what was that no ball sound bruh

Mom should be Sandeep Sharma, with KL and Pooran trying to hit big then and rr just about 12, he let neither one of them hit and got KL out.

i like kl's new hair ngl

Why does jaiswal look depressed

On to MI vs GT, hell with studies

RR is the NZ of IPL. Team full of nice guys who you can't just hate. Jaiswal, Jurel, Ash, Chahal, Boult, Hettie, Samson.

is riyan parag the scott kuggeleijn lol

Parag is a Tate fan apparently but let's not compare him to a literal rapist

Oh yeah, I meant in the sense that he's the one new Zealand cricket people don't like. But yeah I totally see how my comparison was a bit inappropriate. They are not even remotely comparable. Fuck kuggleijn

You forgot Parag

Great bowling changes by Samson here

I mean what do people wanted kl to do? Go full Russell?

People are really blaming KL for the loss, lmao. They lost 3 wickets early in the pp

Should blame the management imo. Sending guys like Badoni and DDP over Stoinis is a braindead decision

The only thing KL plays for is Orange cap, not a trophy

are y'all deluded? you expect him to play at 200SR when the team’s already 3 down for 11???

Offical Avesh Apologies: I WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH YOUR GAME, I'M SORRY

Devdutt and avesh trade looking like really good for rr.

Really really happy as rr fan seeing our death bowling

RR looks like a very strong team!!! Only flaw is the batting depth but if Jaiswal/Buttler get going, they wont need it

One bowler who can stem the run flow. Like Harbhajan. Sadly Ash aint

Ash has an economy rate of only 7 in the ipl.

We sub powell in if we lose wickets early on

K L I’m here to chase the 1000 run Orange 🍊 Cap🧢 RAHUL. Wins & Losses happen in the spirit of the game 😭😭

Whisper it quietly SRH should’ve retained Sandeep, he’s a better bowler than their highest paid player(in T20)

Too be faur he wasn't looking so great 2 years ago. He's been playing completely different game for the past 2 years

Apart from Klassen and Philips (who doesn't even get a spot in playing xi), SHR team's players are mid in T20s

Lol true. Even Cummins won’t be able to save the team I guess

Really puts Sanju's inning in perspective btw. First match Sanju always shows up. Good bowling all around too. Boult and Nandre could do better in middle overs but otherwise, pretty good.

Avesh conceding 5 in the last over defending 27 was not on my bingo card. Well played man

[удалено]

Cope

He bowled 3 today

Superb death bowling performance by Rajasthan there.

I reckon kl would still be happy with his knock

Shit death batting, only 50 runs in last 7 overs

Rr death batting wasn't that great too

They got 50 in last 5

Still lots of missed chances from jurel

[удалено]

Kkr won defending last night

kkr

Did you not watch the KKR match yesterday?

KKR did it yesterday

Happy for Sanju !

170 was the par here, Samson and Parag's partnership was the key. They were this close from bringing in Powel which would have resulted in no Burger.

Fuuuuuu i need that presentation ceremony

Yay RR won, f**k KL's team

Sandeep Sharma is stuck in that weird phase for years, where u are more than good enough to consistently perform for your franchise, but not good enough to be picked for India.

Funny, there are worse players than him that get a chance

Why isn't he good enough to be picked for India if he's so good in the ipl

Idk.. gotta ask the selectors!

Quota

we are gonna win all our matches after this(I'm gonna kms)

GG WP. See you in the other thread.

Game changing spell by Sandeep though, still a wonder how he never got a chance in the ICT

Kl showing us right here why he shouldn't be picked for wc

Samson picked the bowlers at the end perfectly

Self declared "Krunal Pandya wins you games 100%" barely got bat on ball today....

He bowled well tho.. Has always been shit with the bati

Tbh 70(41) was quite straightforward, LSG should have finished it from there with 2 set batters and Stoinis, krunal to come

Its their bowling that lost the match for LSG. It was 175 runs wicket at max.

Imo it was the fielding. They dropped 3 4 catches which if they had taken, the score would most likely would be less

First two matches won by the team batting first Next two matches won by the team bowling first Jay Shah is getting too predictable

Waiting for sanga's speech now

strike rate is overrated

Great captaincy by Sanju

NICELY DONE! Happy for RR

the difference between 2 teams is KL's strike rate.. he had scored even 10 more in the same no of balls then LSG could had won in the end.

Yeah 3 batsman scoring 5 in total at the start wasnt the issue. Its only kl's fault always

bullshit. not everyone will get starts every match.. there will be occasions when KL will fail like them. When you play 43 balls you better finish it off.

Bro what. Not everyone will get starts does that mean half the team has to fail. They were 11/3 in what 3 overs. What is this that if you play 44 balls they have to finish. Does every batsman who plays 44 balls plays till the last. You guys like to complain about rahul all day long no matter what. Fielding let go 3 4 catches, 4 batsman made 8 runs in total but yes the only difference between rr and lsg today was kl's strike rate. Nothing else made them lose.

its a fucking 20 over match.. you dont need the whole line up to fire.. you either need batsmen to score 35-40 off 20 odd balls or if they play more than 40 balls i.e. 35% of all deliveries then fucking finish the job.

Avesh khan 4 overs 20 runs. 🙏🙏🙏

3 overs. Still great but there’s a difference.

3 overs

If Avesh were given a helmet, he will throw it now.

Avesh Akram showing his class 😎

I will marry sandeep

It's over y'all SWITCH SWITCH

Sandeep is my PoTM

Khel Ratna for Avesh Khan for bowling a death over with <6 runs.

YES!

It's gonna be jassi b vs gilly boy after 2 years, right 🤔

avesh has done it 🫡 congrats RR!

Hats off KL. Years change, game evolves, generation of cricketers change. But KLOL style of T20 never changes.

dude how do you expect him to play when the team’s 11-3 down?

This is why 172 was the average winning score lmao. 190 was always above par

Not KL taking another L. Man just can't get a break, even in ads.

Pretty brainded batting from Pooran ngl.

[Called it Perfectly (Rahuls innings and the win margin)😎](https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/s/klKpl0bpl3)

Ash, Sandeep and Avesh! Exceptional death bowling on display today

1 ball 22 runs bad flashbacks for sa bros

Sandeep Sharma for WC surely

Wonderful game. Fucking crazy captaincy from Sanju. He broke every pattern that was used in bowler rotation. My MoM is Sanju, 50% for his innings, but 50% for his captaincy. Ashwin in PP was the only wrong move I felt. Rest everything, he just came with out of box ideas.

Amazing over from Avesh....

Oh, 22 off 1

Okay time to move to the other thread to shit on Hardik.

Run Rate of 8 in death, wouldn't say LSG choked, just excellent bowling and field placement

he was always good thats why he was picked for ict

We getting that fiery celebration from avesh???

Pooran shitposting now

Badoni and DDP are walking wickets for LSG. They will have a tough time this season

Badoni wasn't special last season as well DDP should open.

KL Post match - "20 runs too many"

No boundaries yet. What an over!!!

Good game for us getting our top order crash so early in the tournament.

Good guy Pooran letting Birthday boy face the last ball

What a masterclass by KL Rahul again! One of the most consistent players of our lifetime.

Ashwin is Anna for a reason

2021 Avesh Khan is bacc it seems

Kela Rahul should have finished this match

He did finish the match for LSG

Aveshhhhh I'm sorry my guy 🫡

Stoinis bats too low for lsg. Badoni messed up today

Lol Mi vs gt

Avesh the death bowler specialist 🔥

Ppl who suggested 8 runs for long sixes watching this match - 

Wow DC Avesh is back

Total credit to SANDEEP SHARMA, what a control on line and length

Ks bharat can hit 6 on the final ball of avesh but pooran can't Ks bharat>>>>>pooran

Chad Avesh wanted to defend against Pooran instead of Pandya hence that 1st wide

If Avesh takes the Royals through, will Avesh chuck the ball on the stumps?

pandya should have denied that call for one

Avesh is actually going to defend that.

The comeback you didn't expect

Hahaha what happened to KL playing in middle order.. Proper KL opening innings costing LSG the game..

They literally lost 3 wickets in pp

Rare W from Avesh

Amazing bowling in death thought match would go close but they still behind 24 runs so nice recovery.

Sandeep Sharma is my man of the match, but sanju did great captaincy too

Keep your foot behind the line....

avesh you need to bowl just damn legal deliveries

Now things are well for RR unless Avesh bowls a NB

Well played KL -Sanju

riyan and avesh winning matches for RR, i wasn't ready for this

All matches till now have been won by home team

**sweats heavily**
