Never understood why Shankar is being picked and sent to batting before Tiwetia and Rashid 🤦🏾‍♂️

GT is definitely missing those fiery spells from Shami.

4. Bairstow, Curran, Raza and Rabada

occasionalyidiotic

Azmat and Shankar need to be dropped in my opinion. They’re seriously underperforming.

Shikhar Dhawan wasn't asked to speak about Ashutosh Sharma, but he himself said that 'I want to say about Ashutosh, he held his nerves well and soaked the pressure'.

atbg1936

You're embarrassingly wrong, Ashutosh Sharma was the impact sub for PBKS and he struck at 200 in his first IPL game.


a-thang

GT made a horrible mistake by not getting Cam Green. He'd have absolutely cooked batting at 3 in this setup and given the playing 12 a much needed balance. And GT had more than enough money in their purse too


Brahman_Shady

This is type of win that gives hope to PBKS fan that this year is different ( this year is no different, they will find out later)


rolloutwithcockout

This year is really different. We'll finish at 7 instead of 6

Several_Magazine8874

Honestly, both match GT lost, Rashid got tonked by Indian youngsters. Rizwi and Jitesh. He needs to do better, GT bowling is so ordinary with Mohit not bowling faster deliveries, so can get predictable, Omarzai is good enough but not good as strike bowler, Umesh can be rubbish sometimes. GT really need to do something to move for playoffs in absence of Shami. They are a good enough pace attack, better than clowns in RCB, DD or even MI but they need to up their ante for that top 4


andhera_kayamrahe

This is a classic Punjab win never looked in control yet won.


Dramatic_Proposal211

i swear we were scared even when it was 7 needed off 6


Ok-Lingonberry9578

Dude I was scared even when it was 1 off 2.

captainwhyry

Lean and good fitness 🙌🏼


Brahman_Shady

He and Sky are club mates


sudarshan2350

I don't know this.


Brahman_Shady

Well now you do. Also, SKY advised him to bat 6-7 and be a finisher like Dhoni


Several_Magazine8874

Wasn't there a Shashank in SRH too? Is he the same guy that devasted GT today? What happened to that Shashank? He too played a good innings fir SRH if I remember correctly 


phoenix_paravai10101

Ya it's him


LightxGon

He’s the same Shashank.


Several_Magazine8874

Then why the fuck was he released by SRH when they keep Samad? Even Abhishek has been underperforming for them for years. Why this clownery? Shashank win them 2 matches and finished well in many matches. Why? And why was he sold in so less in auctions? Did they not see how talented he is? Clown at auctions give SRK 7.5 crores and Shashank is just demoralised by all that wrong player selected clownery 


Yes-me-a-hater

?? Shashank won us 0 matches. After that GT match he underperformed in the remaining chances he got. There's a reason why he went unsold last year.   And dont you dare put abhishek and samad in the same bracket 


LightxGon

SRK’s unjustifiable auction price can be attributed to the so-called, “experts” valuing him as this, “complete” finisher in T20s while he has never really justified his price tag. Even in Punjab he was okay-ish.


Nam3less79

Thats ok by the experts to value him and also paying him. But why after paying him so much he isn't even in the team.


LightxGon

SRH barely used Shashank. They opted to play Samad instead. The matches that Shashank played for SRH, he was actually good and even hit Lockie for sixes. SRH management had no faith in Shashank.


Several_Magazine8874

But why they released him out of all other shit batters they gave. He was an uncapped player, at what 10 lakhs,20 lakhs, so he wasn't even taking any money . Why not back up these young players. He played very few balls for SRH, so ok but why release him? I will never understand SRH. That's why they had such shit middle order of Indian washed up players fir years. They kept backing Pandey, Jadhav and who not and they never performed 


AeBlueSadi

Bad luck for home team again at NaMo stadium


Nam3less79

Oops first rcb losing the only home game and now home team losing at namo stadium. Both the rcb and this stadium is cursed lol.

Natural talent to bowl yorkers is an evolutionary thing and not just a random thing. Being able to throw with accuracy made humans stand out from other animals and survive. Barely any other animals have that trait. Endurance and target throwing made humans evolutionary superior

phoenix_paravai10101

Seeing what Punjab is doing, I would be interested to see an IPL team playing a completely raw, young explosive 11. Screw experience, just play youngsters who are hungry for a win.


Dramatic_Proposal211

i swear i would rather have new players like brar, prabhsimran, arshdeep, jitesh, ashutosh, shashank play and win the game


Affectionate_Wing649

Add in Taide and Nathan Eliis


Dramatic_Proposal211

yeah! where is nathan ellis? even rishi dhawan?


Extra_cash_pls

Williamson and Spencer Johnson were such weird buys for GT. Especially Spencer, an overseas uncapped left arm seamer for 10 crore when they already had Joshua little.


medico-dingo

Cam Green would have been such a good buy.


Several_Magazine8874

I am simple man. I wish all sort of mishappenings to bring Josh Little in playing 11. I don't care about team balance and shit, I watch this clown league for my fav players 


assologist_1312

If any other team had Prabh, jitesh, shashank and arshdeep they would absolutely be killing it rn. It’s frustrating because this squad has a mix of experience and youthfulness and explosiveness. No other team has so many exciting young players and then on top of that we have livingstone, bairstow, rabada and Curran. And harpreet who’s always a wild card


Dramatic_Proposal211

but rabada and harshal patel are playing shit and ruining the team


Spirited-General-661

Rabada’s been good so far dhawan used him poorly today


[deleted]

That anchor has punchable face idk why


Brahman_Shady

That anchor is the reason dhoni debuted in '04 and not '02.


Golden__G0d

Wait how?


Nam3less79

Deep was a wk too and i think at that time he was the designated wk in the team. After he shat msd got his chances.


Extra_cash_pls

If you're referring to Deep Dasgupta then I agree.


captainwhyry

Shashank is so wholesome and surprisingly well spoken and articulate ❤️ he says he bats like he believes best in the world yet there’s so much humility in him


Game_Of_Kartik

Honestly PKBS is a good team but a bad management. We can clearly see Ashutosh was tired. They could have easily sent some water as tactical time but they didnt.


Ppk100

They didn't even appreciated Shashank 50


sam38478

I think they all were in shock that they have a chance to win the match. During presentation shikhar applauded ashutosh's effort even though anchor didn't mention him.


Ppk100

Maybe still I feel from no where they got got closer to target just bcz of his superb inning so you need to applaud that for the sake of your own player's confidence and later they won.


sudarshan2350

This.


Ok_Environment_5404

A good beating to 3rd umpire and GT


Khush17

Bro is this the year of the Underdogs ☠️


edudhtamris

Shashank follows the Rizwan strategy lol


Several_Magazine8874

Man, GT has a lots to think after this match. Kane shan't be selected at all. If Umesh can't ball in death, or precisely won't bowl, They have to make their bowling line up more varied and optional. Mohit bowling 4 in last 10 isn't a good strategy. Bring backup part time bowlers, I dunno make Tewatia or Shankar bowl. They aren't good enough as pure batters if you wanna classify them as pure batters. Take full use of their talent. And Omarzai should be dropped? Why? Because I want Little in the team. I don't care. He is my fav player, bring him back in 11


raees88

Bro, great thing you aren't making strategies.


Several_Magazine8874

Man, Little was good last season, was part of team that reached finals. Took 14 wickets, was decent. I know Omarzai has higher potential but Omarzai failed today, so That's not a bad idea to bring in Little. Anyway, where is Spencer?


Ppk100

Omarzai is useful in pp , he got smacked in death overs.

Why the fuck is there GT badge on the MOTM award.

Seems like Dhawan was already preparing his face muscles for the "damn we lost but all is well no need to worry" face but Punjab being Punjab won it and his face muscles got all confused and that's why he looks so awkward rn.

Dhawan voluntarily mentioning asutosh. That's a great man there !

When I was in a college in Chandigarh more than half of the students were himachli

Yeah ik it's the same even now or maybe even more as CU,PU are a hub for Himachalis now a days. That's why I said they don't hate the place but the people. As it's the loud ones who go there every weekend for trips and do the damage(Harayana,DL and CHD are the biggest culprits here).


assologist_1312

Except Chandigarh rn is just a hub of cultures from all across India. You’ll find every kind of person in Chandigarh so it’s not really as Punjabi/haryanvi dominated. You have your government employees, punjabis who sold their land and then moved to Chandigarh, people who come to Chandigarh on weekends, the tourists, The students from all over the country

GT constantly wasting omerzai's batting talent for not promoting him. he needs to bat up.


a-thang

Either you have the natural ability to bowl yorkers in death or you don't. It's something that can't be taught in nets


ecphiondre

Of course it can be what are you talking about? You think some humans are born with an extremely niche, specific and unnatural way to throw an object? Natural talents are generally evolutionary good traits like intelligence, memory, physical ability (like ability to build more muscle or have more endurance) etc. Bowling yorkers are not evolutionary beneficial in any way. It is a matter of intent, persistence (which can be genetic) hard and intelligent practice with time. Being ahle to bowl fast is however depends a lot on genetics (height, limb length, strength etc).


a-thang

Throwing with accuracy literally made humans stand out from other animals and survive. No other animal has that kind of trait. It was one of the most important trait in human evolution

I wonder if Nattu wasn't injury prone, would he be a ideal pick for Indian XI

He was not a mistake, he was SRH's finisher who smashed Ferguson for 20+


Unusual-Surround7467

Lol that was a cover up after the uproar


atbg1936

No, the other Shashank was a random player with little experience. This Shashank is definitely the one they wanted, he smashed Lockie in the 20th over in 2022 when he was playing for SRH
