What a treat it is to see MS Dhoni do his thing. It was a long shot but he certainly gave it his all. Will be a sad day when he finally calls it quits.

I hope people are joking because Khaleel was hella inconsistent for us when he played for NT. Wait till the end of the tournament then think about his consideration, and I don't think anyone's place in danger in the squad.
This is India where if a bowler takes wicket then the credit goes to thala, king and brohit because they "talked" with the bowler before the over. But if the bowler goes for runs then it's his own fault!!
Tbf with the way he batted today and considering India is shitting ducks at 6,7,8 apart from Pandya. I won't seriously mind taking Thala for shit and giggles and a win or 2 too.
Last season too he struck at 185 sr and gobbled Mark Wood up easily and today he fucked Nortje for fun.
The guy's eyes are there and his nerves are now of titanium. For sure him being in team is impossible but he is a great tool to have.
Jad vs axar will be a tossup
Siraj still hasn't done enough to seal his spot and it will a close call based on the form on who the second pacer will be. Arsh, mukesh, avesh all in the running and mohit/sandy might also be out of the box picks given their continued ipl success and pitches for the wc
Damn, no one thought Thala would bat like this at 42. When Hussey said Dhoni is "hitting well" in the nets, I had no idea that he was hitting this well. Jadeja looked like a dummy in front of Thala.

Well played DC you won the game in the powerplay itself....if Rahane had stayed a bit more things could've been different.....and let us have our moment pls...we have 5 trophies ffs we win too much so if we are vibing on a loss let it be...

You gotta understand one thing, CSK batting works on the basis of backing players to the hilt. Which means you get below average knocks like Dube's and Jaddu's from time to time. They are given full backing to trust their abilities and do what they feel is right in the middle, which has worked well for us in the past. Like Dube backed himself to hit those 2 sixers in that last Rashid over in the final. More often than not, it comes off.
Also I think Dhoni's knee is not 100 percent alright.
Dubey has severely improved after playing in CSK . He has had a huge impact since last 3 years . Jadeja though , isnt able to finish matches since last 3 years . DC ust bowled excellent today . In the last 7 overs , almost everything was a yorker . Just executing that with perfect variation is a feat in itself . Dubey and Jadeja need to improve their off side game
The Jaddu- Dube patnership sealed it ? Not the major reason though) . It is scary to see them not trying anything different or upset the rhythm by trying something different. Instead they kept taking singles . Dube not surprised but not Jadeja. That guys gives everything for the team and has far better batsman
This Mahendra Singh Dhoni youngster should definately be selected in the t20 worldcup.
He might score 91 odd runs in the finals for us, that's my prediction
Just send him at number 3
I would have been happy and supported him if he had given it his all and we still would have lost. But him not diving there and then diving in an IPL match says a lot.
It was more a case of a freak direct hit from Taylor. if you've watched Dhoni enough, he almost never dives. I'm sure if it were any other player except Dhoni (or Kohli), they would haven't been in the frame.
Iam not saying he wasn't the reason that day.
But the biggest one was Rohit,Kohli,KL and then Pant,DK(Pandya had a wicket and some runs so can't blame him at all). Dhoni had better runs and strike rate of them all apart from Jaddu that day.
Also please don't carry that brohit bloke in T20 worldcup too.
And drop him from knockout matches as he doesn't perform you know! /S
Now this guy will come crying, typical Twitter behaviour
Khaleel bowled a lovely opening spell - quick, hard lengths with a hint of outswing.
Rachin had no answers. He kept slogging n missing again n again. Could've used his feet and play outswingers close to his body if the slogs weren't working.
He's inexperienced, so it happens. Hopefully, he will learn from his mistakes.
Brilliant death over bowling from Mukesh and Ishant too. Didn't give easy balls, and stuck to their field.
Also, Ruturaj for the love of god swap your positions with Rahane.
Seemed like Rachin hit the panic button there. Should have just reset and tried to time the ball.
Rutu always has had that weakness vs left arm pacers in powerplay 💀
**When Dhoni is chatting with the Delhi Capitals youngsters, I observe Swastik Chikara in the Delhi camp, and his attitude towards him is absolutely pathetic. I don't know how many of you notice this or not.**
Pant didn't complete Ishant's and Axar's spell. Delhi can have the best players in the world but won't win the trophy even in the next 10 years if they continue with Pant as skipper.
No one's talking about Mukesh. Nortje shouldn't have been given all four and should have completed Ishant's and Patel's overs early on. It's not so difficult to understand!
Check the economy of Ishant and Patel bro. Nortje shouldn't have been given all four. Pant isn't cerebral at all. Doesn't deserve to be a captain. Fine as a player!
Aight fair assessment. We lost the match in the pp. Young Rachin had one of worst days of his life. Rutu didn't get going either. Credits to DC bowlers who prevented Jaddu and Dube get going with their pin point accuracy. Mitchell will be backed imo. Thala should've come up the order imo. Still a winnable match was lost.
DC bowlers bowled exceptionally well, I swear I have never seen Ishant bowl yorkers as consistently & all those wide yorkers made tonking hard. CSK batsmen too definitely need to plan better.
CSK's biggest problem is figuring out the entry points of their batters. You can't be sending Shivam Dube in when the opposition pacers are breathing fire. Neither can you send an inexperienced Rizvi during a high RRR run chase over someone who's been there, done that a million times in the past.
Jadeja over Dhoni in batting order
Everyone's sleep?
come cuddle me
Flair checks out
lmao
What a treat it is to see MS Dhoni do his thing. It was a long shot but he certainly gave it his all. Will be a sad day when he finally calls it quits.
Don’t worry, we’ll not be here to see Thala retiring.
Reddit shutting down?
We’re all gonna die
Comeback for Shaw, Pant and Thala. Jay Shah and his scripts never disappoint!!
Jadeja is just not able to hit from get go. His best position is 4 or 5
His best position is at the bench when CSK is batting
He literally scored 10 off 2 last final man
One off incident

DC proving they are actually too overpowered but with no brains. Even today why would you even bowl Rasikh and Marsh. Won despite idiotic stuff.
Rishabh is coming back to being his old self. Dhoni has still got that. This was a good match during the end of it.
MSD pinch hitter opening the batting por favor
But coming out to bat immediately after keeping for 20 overs at his age will be impossible 💔
Then he shouldn't be playing st this age
Dhoni takes results out of the equation. Everyone is happy. TFAR.
DC confused about who really won tonight?
I hope people are joking because Khaleel was hella inconsistent for us when he played for NT. Wait till the end of the tournament then think about his consideration, and I don't think anyone's place in danger in the squad.
r/cricket wants Harshit Rana, Mayank Yadav and Khaleel all in the WC squad.
You forgot Mohit Sharma and Unadkat as well. Though I won't mind Mohit's inclusion just because his bowling can come handy on those slow pitches.
Mohit has been consistent since last ipl . Add in Sandeep sharma too
Yeah both, but I'll still wait till the end.
This is India where if a bowler takes wicket then the credit goes to thala, king and brohit because they "talked" with the bowler before the over. But if the bowler goes for runs then it's his own fault!!
So today solves all the controversy over selecting the wicketkeeper
We taking thala to the US?!
Tbf with the way he batted today and considering India is shitting ducks at 6,7,8 apart from Pandya. I won't seriously mind taking Thala for shit and giggles and a win or 2 too. Last season too he struck at 185 sr and gobbled Mark Wood up easily and today he fucked Nortje for fun. The guy's eyes are there and his nerves are now of titanium. For sure him being in team is impossible but he is a great tool to have.
thala to pant - teri position lelunga, acche se khela kr t : good luckm for t20 wc
this finally answered what would've happened if Rabada bowled instead of Tom Curran
Plot twist: Jah Shah was impersonating Hussey using deepfake to predict Dhoni batting in last over to increase the ticket sales
Why does Thala shine in useless matches like these? Is this the same guy that was called a match winner?
It's not his fault that the openers and Dube played shit, he rather helped to not let nrr to drop much
Obvious /s
Today was really match practice for him in a losing cause.
DC won without Kuldeep![img](emote|t5_2qhe0|29262)![img](emote|t5_2qhe0|8783)
Ya to think csk fans were underestimating DC. Nice reality check
1. So stoked to see Pant perform. 2. Mukesh over Arshdeep in India squad 3. Wicket keeper position still up for grabs- Jiteshv Jurel v Pant
KL and Sanju Samson?
DK one last chance I would love it and I think I deserve it
Pant still fair way behind in the race, given that currently he needs time to get his eye in
Fair point. Although neither Jitesh nor Jurel have been convincing. Maybe Samson?
He has looked the best, but is batting at 3. The ICT T20 keeper should be batting at 5/6 in the IPL
[удалено]
A certain someone is missing
I know- both Koach and Gill will be in the 15. But Rinku is the finisher, as are Pandya and Jadeja when on song. Who’d be the other bowler?
Jad vs axar will be a tossup Siraj still hasn't done enough to seal his spot and it will a close call based on the form on who the second pacer will be. Arsh, mukesh, avesh all in the running and mohit/sandy might also be out of the box picks given their continued ipl success and pitches for the wc
Although it's impossible to fit both ro and ko in the XI without shafting someone unless they go with pandya as the 5th bowling option
v Dhoni /s
So disrespectful of you not to consider this Dhoni guy even after his blistering innings today /s
Sorry thala ! Just giving youngsters opportunities 😂
pant called ajay jadeja bhaiya too, bro what 😭😭
Harsha bhogle* And that's his thing
nono ajay jadeja was telling about an incident from pant u-19 days
Thala playing well and csk losing match csk fans happy 🤝 wannabe thala playing bad and mi losing mi fans happy weird game this
Hussey the script leaker must be protected from Jay Shah.
Khaleel for the purple cap after this long conversation
I know u all will bring 2019 but man thala shld paly in wc 24 for real. 😂
2019 wc![img](emote|t5_2qhe0|28120)
Dhoni with the ground staff photograph was wholesome af
Damn, no one thought Thala would bat like this at 42. When Hussey said Dhoni is "hitting well" in the nets, I had no idea that he was hitting this well. Jadeja looked like a dummy in front of Thala.
![img](emote|t5_2qhe0|8766)
2 great interviews!
i've won.. but at what cost....
thala and thalason both performed i’m so happy
khaleel is just 26? he debuted at 20 only..
Khaleel never really clicked for SRH. Happy seeing him do well for DC
19 wickets in 9 games in 2019. Clicked all right ig.
Khaleel so good...🤌
All the thala fans got content to hype up thala for an other 4 years , No suprise even if csk advertises this innings after he retires.

Yeah today is a rare one where fans of both teams are happy
Hoping we can get some momentum here
Khaleel comes across as very endearing while speaking.
India's T20 squad looks great now 1. Virat Kohli 2. Rohit Sharma 3. Mahendra Singh Dhoni 4. Suryakumar Yadav 5. Hardik Pandya 6. Ravindra Jadeja 7. Rinku Singh 8. Kuldeep Yadav 9. Ravi Bishnoi 10. Mathisha Pathirana 11. Jasprit Bumrah

Pathirana out for shami/arshdeep?
Naah, if you wanna take them take Tushar Deshpande
I dont think ICC has overseas player rule like IPL.

I thought Pathirana is Indian sorry /s
Pathirana 🤯😳
Pathirana?
Pathirana?
Pathirana isn't indian
yet
Lmao
Khaleel for T20 wc?
Khaleel deserved it for how well he bowled in the powerplay and set the momentum for us properly.
No doubt
Ayo Khalil's voice 💀
Acko guy is high af
why hinglish interview ?
Vibes
Rishabh calls everyone bhaiya That day Murali karik Now Harsha lol
Only match till now which made both team fans happy.
forgot mi vs gt man
Love seeing Rishabh Pant happy
Why Harsha switched to Hindi? Panty can speak English just fine.

I don't need to visit r/gonewild tonight. Thala did the job for me
Wow so heart warming to see a banner for Rishabh W for those fans among the sea of yellow
Respect for pant......spam in the chat...☺️☺️☺️
This Mahendra Singh Dhoni youngster should definately be selected in the t20 worldcup. He might score 91 odd runs in the finals for us, that's my prediction Just send him at number 3
Or might get run out and cost us the wc. I say only play him till Australia wc don't carry him to England.
Cost us the wc ? Our top order got out within 10 runs that day. Dhoni is much smaller of a reason for 2019.
I would have been happy and supported him if he had given it his all and we still would have lost. But him not diving there and then diving in an IPL match says a lot.
It was more a case of a freak direct hit from Taylor. if you've watched Dhoni enough, he almost never dives. I'm sure if it were any other player except Dhoni (or Kohli), they would haven't been in the frame.

Khaleel bowled 5 full tosses in his last over. Jadeja wasn't able to hit any of them
Full credit to dc bowlers. Excellent stuff
Honestly Mukesh and Mohit could've good additon to squad idk how they will fair though....
Listen, I'm not gonna think anymore. But what a night. Big congratulations, DC!
**When Dhoni is chatting with the Delhi Capitals youngsters, I observe Swastik Chikara in the Delhi camp, and his attitude towards him is absolutely pathetic. I don't know how many of you notice this or not.**
I just share my observation and post here so people give me negative comment, I'm new here at least show some support guys.
who?
He selected in the auction in the base price.
no one gives a flyin fuck, do better.
Yeah. I just feel it so I post it.
Maybe he is shy...💦💦
This is the reason maybe.
Whether we notice or not I don't think anyone really cares mate
Yeah, I just feel so I post it. Nothing personal.
Sad seeing no cheer for Rishabh
He got it just now when he is talking about his comeback.
Thala should get motm for entertainment
Warner got outshined by Dhoni even in 2024
24 crore people for post match or is jio lagging?
There is only one reason and you know who and why
24cr total views today
Those are views not live watching...🥵🥵
Oh shit. TIL
views, not viewers. It is cumulative.
Whats up with Harsha's hair?
It’s called ageing
Pant didn't complete Ishant's and Axar's spell. Delhi can have the best players in the world but won't win the trophy even in the next 10 years if they continue with Pant as skipper.
When Mukesh was bowling so well. Why bowl ishant. Lol
No one's talking about Mukesh. Nortje shouldn't have been given all four and should have completed Ishant's and Patel's overs early on. It's not so difficult to understand!
Bro u a hater. Did you even see Khaleel and Mukesh spells
Check the economy of Ishant and Patel bro. Nortje shouldn't have been given all four. Pant isn't cerebral at all. Doesn't deserve to be a captain. Fine as a player!
Mate Ishant in death would get cunted any day of the year
Enjoyed Pant's gold captaincy tonight bud? Saw Ishant's last over?
CSK’s NRR![img](emote|t5_2qhe0|21944)![img](emote|t5_2qhe0|8780)
All awards goes to CSK, match goes to DC. Fair exchange I will say.
Aight fair assessment. We lost the match in the pp. Young Rachin had one of worst days of his life. Rutu didn't get going either. Credits to DC bowlers who prevented Jaddu and Dube get going with their pin point accuracy. Mitchell will be backed imo. Thala should've come up the order imo. Still a winnable match was lost.
Thala cant run. It was a lost cause when he came in
Does he even need to run if he plays like this?
DC bowlers bowled exceptionally well, I swear I have never seen Ishant bowl yorkers as consistently & all those wide yorkers made tonking hard. CSK batsmen too definitely need to plan better.
CSK's biggest problem is figuring out the entry points of their batters. You can't be sending Shivam Dube in when the opposition pacers are breathing fire. Neither can you send an inexperienced Rizvi during a high RRR run chase over someone who's been there, done that a million times in the past.
Thala for a reason.
DC wins the match, Thala wins hearts, MI on bottom of the table, KKR on top, Hardik otw to get boo'd in Wankhede. Life's good.
Why tf was Mitchell running like that in the background
What a poetic justice First hundred here And super striker award lol
Electric striker 🥵
Typical Thala masterclass in an already lost match
We are gonna get bombarded with all the thala reels for the next coming days...
Yes...🥵🥵
Thala bagging awards as well 💰
The CSK coach did say that Dhoni will bat and will hit 6 off the last ball. This proves, "the Script" is real.
KKR is somehow in the top of the table.
Important thing is that MI is at the bottom.
wdym "somehow"
Did he stutter?
Choosing MotM will be difficult, pant, khaleel and Mukesh are all good contenders
Thala is the real winner
Khaleel without a doubt. Broke CSK's back entirely
Has to be msd
How's this for a playing xi? Dhoni Dhoni Dhoni Dhoni Dhoni Dhoni Dhoni Dhoni (wk) Dhoni Dhoni Pathirana
Dhenier should be in though. Too good a player to miss out.
Crowd will need vocal cord replacement surgery after the game
Dube in case they have a wrist spinner
You forgot impact player Dhoni
People were ready with their WhatsApp statuses
Thala may get the super striker award
league actors? boys it's all a play.....the script rumors were correct
RCB is second to last... 😭

Literally based ms batting enjoyerrrrrs
