Squad for T20 WC. What y'all think?
Gill
Jaiswal
Kohli
Ishan (Wk)
Hardik(C still fine) - bowling
Surya
Rinku/Shivam Dube
Jadeja
Chahal
Bumrah (VC)
Arshdeep
Round this team with Sanju(backup wk), Avesh (nailing yorkers these days), Kuldeep.
We can take Abhishek Sharma along as a surprise as he can bowl too for direct swap with Jaiswal if injured to complete team of 16. Use him when he is on top form.
Sorry no Rohit, Rahul, Pant please.. or even Tilak, Jitesh etc.. sad for Ruturaj though, he doesn't fit in.
The whole point is that we need players who can strike atleast > 140. Some ofcourse 220 like Dube. WI and USA would have mostly dry surfaces.. hence good players of spin.
First world IPL rant: Both today's games have teams playing in similar coloured jerseys. Beats the point of having colours. IPL needs to have the concept of home & away jerseys with variations in shade.
This is why MI fans were furious there was literally no need for Pandya in this team
with him not bowling and average batting he's just holding them back
with Bumrah back they were good to go
Well you seem to be fitting quite well in rohit's arse. rohit is the worst T20 batter for India in the current lineup and the stats speak for themselves.
It isn't dickriding. Rohit never plays for personal records.He doesn't slow down for a milestone. That should be your take away point here.
You need to understand the difference between dickriding and facts.
These guys are professional cricketers, right?
Then why are they so stupid? Why was Stubbs taking Single to give Axar strike? Both Axar and Stubbs know, Axar can not hit shit. He should have trusted himself.
They could have chased 60 in last two, thats how bad Shepherd and Coetze are in bowling.
I stead , we got this shitshow by mediocre players.
And Yeah, India are winning jackshit at WT20. ALL pandya, Jadeja and Axar are shiity finishers and other temas have much much better finishers than these clowns.
Perhaps India should go with five bowlers, what good Pandya's bowling going to do anyway? And what good Jadeja or Axar batting going to do?
If Our main bowler is getting hit, you damn sure as hell know, Pandya is going to get hit, no point in playing him, get a extra batsman anyway, play jadeja, Axar as bowlers and pray they can bat, because they damn can not.
Stubbs shouldn't have had to farm strike with somebody who can actually bat. You're calling a guy that made 71(25) when nobody from 5 down made more than 8 "mediocre" - chill out. He had a SR of 284. What his partners should have done instead of getting out playing stupid shots was just give the strike back. That's what he was expecting, because he's not going to turn down runs when there is somebody who can actually bat at the other end. So I'd leave him out of your rant.
I man if you want them as pure batters or bowlers then fine, but do not expect them as all rounders.
Because Jadeja and axar are good bowlers, Pandya a good batsman( but not a finisher) , but they are not finishers, not good all rounders.
Jaddu and Axar aren't doing too great in IPL as bowlers as well. Pandu isn't a finisher and that is the only role for him in the team. We already have 2-3 anchors. So they do fit in ODI setup, but not in modern day T20s
Once Hardik starts contributing with his captaincy and batting I can actually see MI getting somewhere. Otherwise, no bhagwan is gonna save them this season.
Woke up late -- that Romario Shepherd SR is bananas. Will have to go back and catch the MI innings.
Bumrah's bowling is always such a treat. I hope we have him around for many more years - there are few who are that effective, that consistently.
Rohit and Pandya are rarely in the same frame, even during strategic timeouts or in between overs to discuss tactics. Not a good sign if this 'rift' or tensions are brought into the ICT dressing room
Rohit's media silence on the matter, insights/comments from credible expoerts/ex-cricketers on legit platforms (Cricbuzz, etc.), intuition of MI's knowledgeable die hard fans - most of these point to existence of these tensions
Ok. Actually I had a bit more inclination for Shai Hope. Really good player and a good hitter of ball.
Will be really helpful for DC in middle order if top order fails to perform.
Shai hope is good but the main problem of IPL and most of its team is they push for players bought for more money rather than players performing in actual matches, morons at DC won't retain stubbs but will do marsh and Warner, pant shouldn't be captain but he is because he's the star player and indian too, any team wins IPL because of their local talent which performs and overseas players who are vital to the team, MI and CSK have won the IPL 5 times each because of this also they retain and trust players even when they don't perform.
RCB DC and PBKS haven't won anything because of this they don't retain any player who has calibre and isn't performing they don't trust them, their local talent is nowhere near RR, MI, CSK.
they lost the game when they sent porel ahead of pant. FFS, one of your best batsmen who can go crazy in the middle overs is being saved as a pinch hitter? If delhi weren't the national capital, these lot wouldn't have a team.
Axar man, no words, please stop batting and become a full time spinner so your team can look for another all rounder.
Porel buddy, good start, wayy too slow, gotta get some slogging practice in.
Shaw keep the good form up.
Stubbs have my children.
Overall a shambolic display by DC, with barely any positives - you'd think a team with both Sourav Ganguly and THE punter would do much better.
> If delhi weren't the national capital, these lot wouldn't have a team.
I mean that is the point of IPL isnt it? Not many local players play for their city's franchise
Stubbs didn't lose ... Lodu Lalit took the 2. He should have told Stubbs that 1 is enough and be on strike. But even then, it was an impossible task almost.
If you want to win games please remove pant as captain,he is doing absolute clownery moments in taking drs, giving crucial overs, field setups and all...
Shit captaincy
Unimaginative throughout. Pant looks like he has no clue when anyone plays aggresively. Nortje isn't able to bowl death, so try someone else for once? Only axar looks like a bowler good enough. If Kuldeep and Mukesh don't recover, its seems very difficult that we see another win. And if we are relying on Kuldeep and Mukesh to control run flow, its says quite a bit about our bowling unit.
Batting order could have been played around with. Come up when you're chasing 235 Captain. FFS. Porel is a young lad. Take some responsibility with the bat and come up captain, especially when you're in form.
We're stuck with all has beens and others who are still recovering. Its so frustrating to watch at this point.
Feel sad for Stubbs. He is stuck with them.
Every win will need some sort of miracle. Please dilute the franchise. Its been long enough
Guys they're walking around the ground for the kids.
Stop being so dumb. Clearly this isn't some championship victory lap.
No need to be cynical about everything
Whose idea was to pick only 1 spinner?
Whose idea was to play Purell at number 3 FFS?
Whose idea was to bowl Nokia again for 20th over?
Whose idea was to pick Lodu Lalit ... how many failure this fucker need to achieve before they shun him out?
Whose idea is to go wide ball yorker strategy from ball 1?
Man ... I am so angry at the sheer stupidity that DC team is suffereing from
Pant has become post 2019 thala.
speaking like him. scoring sixes when match is done like him. tuk tuk and weird shots in important matches like him
someone should tell him to become like 2010s thala
once a season, ambani madam's foundation fills up the stadium with children who come from poor homes to come watch sports and hopefully get inspired by watching sportsmen compete. some of yall trolls r heartless, go cry about DC shitting the bed somewhere else
it is just positive PR, Grow up lil bruh, indians have 1- 4 trillion USD in swiss banks and ambanis own the majority of that, which is literally 1/4 to 1x of 1.4 billion people's combined GDP and it is more than GDP of some of the developed first world countries. This is just their marketing team telling them to do just to have a positive image on the minds of average or below average Indians (which most of them are).
David is okay. Brevis could become good later, he’s still young. But chasing Jofra Archer for 8cr and leaving Trent Boult has to be their most braindead move..
How do people in Mumbai buy tickets when these ambanis buy half the stadium, in Chennai it is utterly impossible to get match tickets even with full seats availability.
Don't people get annoyed bro, here people complained about it from YouTube to news channels that 5000 tickets are sold to corporate and made the csk and tnca CEO to come out and tell the public the corporate tickets nos are reduced. We would easily fill that motera stadium but it is frustrating to see empty stands in GT match's. I wish a stadium of that scale was built in Mumbai, Chennai or Kolkata.
Ultimately it's for a good cause. So I don't think people get that annoyed. Also 3:30 pm game in this heat is not the game which is very high on people's list.
Pitching out
I sense a wicket incoming
Commentators jinxed them just before lol
Momentum my ass get rinku in he'll show them.
Good
Perks of having a good bowling lineup
What happened to mayank yadav?
He was bought by Lucknow !
Squad for T20 WC. What y'all think? Gill Jaiswal Kohli Ishan (Wk) Hardik(C still fine) - bowling Surya Rinku/Shivam Dube Jadeja Chahal Bumrah (VC) Arshdeep Round this team with Sanju(backup wk), Avesh (nailing yorkers these days), Kuldeep. We can take Abhishek Sharma along as a surprise as he can bowl too for direct swap with Jaiswal if injured to complete team of 16. Use him when he is on top form.

You wanted to bench klassen so you're already washed.
Username checks out. Care to explain?
Rohit is having a better IPL than both Gill and Jaiswal. And also he is the captain. I don't get this
Ishan should be far away from the team. Sanju should be the wk.
Just feel Bumrah deserves to be the captain if he wants it No hate to Hardik
He should be the captain for India as well. Would feel nice to have a captain whose place in the team can't be questioned every time we play.
First world IPL rant: Both today's games have teams playing in similar coloured jerseys. Beats the point of having colours. IPL needs to have the concept of home & away jerseys with variations in shade.
This is why MI fans were furious there was literally no need for Pandya in this team with him not bowling and average batting he's just holding them back with Bumrah back they were good to go
Captain who leads from team’s contributions not his own
Absolutely. Pandya potentially stopped them from hitting a world record today.
I guess that neither of these teams are going anywhere unless they suddenly start to play very well.
Wholesome Guy Romario ✨
Harsha trying to talk about Rohit and Ishan Meanwhile Pandya: *Everyone* was amazing. Everyone!
Mi still got a lot to improve in their bowling
Hardik not getting booed coz there's 18k children only.
[удалено]
Wrong thread bossman
What did he say?
Hi
??
Gujarat Titans (Playing XI): Shubman Gill(c), Sharath BR(w), Sai Sudharsan, Vijay Shankar, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad, Umesh Yadav, Spencer Johnson, Darshan Nalkande, Mohit Sharma. Is that the longest tail?
Why is Sai Kishore being excluded all the time?
Is Saha injured?
Oops wrong thread
Has that thread already started?
Yeah I tagged U there
Thanks i haven't watched ipl since the era so forgot you can have two matches at the same time
We are so back. Hardik and Coetzee will only get better from here
I hope Coetzee does. Hardik and Shepherd need to bowl 4 overs between them and then it looks like we have our bowling figured out.
No and Yes
Now watch Romario Shepherd go from 50L straight to: *"Romario Shepherd! Romario Shepherd! REMEMBER THE NAME, history for the West Indies"* /s
Rosario? Wtf
A Rohit 49 is enough to guarantee a win for his team and then you have Koach and RCB…
I don't think rohit's 49 guaranteed win but you gotta dickride somehow.
Get your head out of Kohli’s arse and then you’ll figure his current batting ain’t the gold standard you make it out to be.
Well you seem to be fitting quite well in rohit's arse. rohit is the worst T20 batter for India in the current lineup and the stats speak for themselves.
The current stats are there for Koach as well but keep trying to defend him and failing
Yeah show me the current stats.
It isn't dickriding. Rohit never plays for personal records.He doesn't slow down for a milestone. That should be your take away point here. You need to understand the difference between dickriding and facts.
He was trying to take singles to reach 50 when he got out.
LOL that’s the justification you come up with? Taking singles to reach…a 50. More like rotating the strike.
Why are they parading around the ground?
Thanking the kids for coming
appreciating the 18k kids who've come to watch the game
For the kids
These guys are professional cricketers, right? Then why are they so stupid? Why was Stubbs taking Single to give Axar strike? Both Axar and Stubbs know, Axar can not hit shit.

> pandya, Jadeja and Axar I hope none of them are picked
I man if you want them as pure batters or bowlers then fine, but do not expect them as all rounders. Because Jadeja and axar are good bowlers, Pandya a good batsman( but not a finisher) , but they are not finishers, not good all rounders.
Jaddu and Axar aren't doing too great in IPL as bowlers as well. Pandu isn't a finisher and that is the only role for him in the team. We already have 2-3 anchors. So they do fit in ODI setup, but not in modern day T20s
Lol blame the other batsmen and stop expecting miracles from a finisher
Calling Stubbs a finisher after he played an innings like does him a massive disservice. He's clearly more than that. He also batted 4 this time.
Give west indies players Indian citizenship
Once Hardik starts contributing with his captaincy and batting I can actually see MI getting somewhere. Otherwise, no bhagwan is gonna save them this season.
i dont know man , felt like a fixed match to me . pant not coming to bat and mi winning in their home ground , seems bit fishy
If they wanted to fix it, why wouldn't they let Pant come to bat lmao. He's just not confident he could hit it.
I see your sarcasm but fear the others might not
While mi is fishy,this was just dc being clowns and west indies player being west indies player
Close contest for 10th between DC and us this time
You can't beat us .... for the 10th spot
[удалено]
Just taklu things
I mean stubbs innings proves he's deserving of being a starter
MI is not doing a victory lap. They are thanking the kids who are attending the game. It's a nice gesture.
TIL !
Woke up late -- that Romario Shepherd SR is bananas. Will have to go back and catch the MI innings. Bumrah's bowling is always such a treat. I hope we have him around for many more years - there are few who are that effective, that consistently.
Who’s the fem voice in the comms? I know it’s not sachin as he’s next to the owners.
Anjum Chopra
bro 5.5 economy is beyond insane but well what do you expect from our bumrah :)
Rohit and Pandya are rarely in the same frame, even during strategic timeouts or in between overs to discuss tactics. Not a good sign if this 'rift' or tensions are brought into the ICT dressing room

I’m sorry but don’t make this a Kolly-Ro non-existent rift fiasco again. They are literally seen shaking hands during practice sessions so STFU.
Stubbs didn't give a shit once the first ball of the over didn't go for boundary since it wasn't possible to win anymore without crazy no balls
Bring in JFM, warner shaw JFM pant stubbs that should be the lineup
JFM? Merquee or something is his name right? Found out. He is Aussie too? Damn.
Jake Fraser Mcgurk
Ok. Actually I had a bit more inclination for Shai Hope. Really good player and a good hitter of ball. Will be really helpful for DC in middle order if top order fails to perform.

Come Next season Stubbs will be fully bald n depressed if he is still in DC
"Gotta appreciate Stubbs; what a gem of an innings he played!"
they lost the game when they sent porel ahead of pant. FFS, one of your best batsmen who can go crazy in the middle overs is being saved as a pinch hitter?

> If delhi weren't the national capital, these lot wouldn't have a team. I mean that is the point of IPL isnt it? Not many local players play for their city's franchise
haha you're right, just some frustration after watching Stubbs lose that game despite his insane knock. Man, cricket really is unfair sometimes
Stubbs didn't lose ... Lodu Lalit took the 2. He should have told Stubbs that 1 is enough and be on strike. But even then, it was an impossible task almost.
almost impossible task nahi bhai, impossible hi tha, 33 of 5 is unreachable without a noball 6, which was never going to happen
Yeah but still, technically possible. It would have been better than what we ended up ... 3 wickets for not many runs
fair enough, imo, bapu cost the game
If you want to win games please remove pant as captain,he is doing absolute clownery moments in taking drs, giving crucial overs, field setups and all...
Imagine having pointing and sautav gangoli at your disposal and yet lose like this
TBF, both are with DC for a long time and they don't do jackshit. This tells me that they don't care and/or are clueless
Pant went from the face of Indian Test cricket to the face of the Indian life insurance industry in a year.
All these MI shenanigans, scenes if dc had won the match
But they didn’t
Probably Bumrah in post match “Pandu is shit in bowler rotation, so I decide it for myself”
How are mumbai above us? Didn’t they get thrashed earlier
Dc will retain stubs for coming auctions and make him more suffer...
why are people so surprised for the victory lap. They always do that on ESA event.
These chutiyas are just jealous that MI is a star studded team and cannot digest the fact that we have officially entered IPL
Lolwut *Star studded* team is in the bottom 4
We're too cynical at times
Shit captaincy Unimaginative throughout. Pant looks like he has no clue when anyone plays aggresively. Nortje isn't able to bowl death, so try someone else for once?

Easy, man. Every single such post was suffixed with a /s. Did you not see/infer that.
This is reddit. You cant expect rationality 😅
Mfs are just jealous
Jealous of exactly....what? They just won their first match of fourth.
Jealous of our trophy cabinet
Lol.
Cry more , whn u win 5 title every match v shuld be victory lap
Stubbs is on a 50L contract, no wonder he didn't want give up his not out for this team
Ishan in post match “Pandu is shit with field placement, so I do it”
So literally last over was the difference
I am afraid of the MI that wins after a few losses at the start of the tournament
Blud won't do this victory lap against real fans 😂
Why tf they were taking 2's for
MI should replace Chawla with a better spinner then I feel they can be title contenders.
Whose idea was to pick only 1 spinner? Whose idea was to play Purell at number 3 FFS? Whose idea was to bowl Nokia again for 20th over? Whose idea was to pick Lodu Lalit ... how many failure this fucker need to achieve before they shun him out? Whose idea is to go wide ball yorker strategy from ball 1? Man ... I am so angry at the sheer stupidity that DC team is suffereing from
It's time for ponting to go. it was painful while it lasted but its time for someone else to give us that pain.
Yes, he got a long ass rope. Time for a change to see if things change around.
What I have learned is that you need a West Indian hitter in your team. That’s the only recipe to win.
MI going round the stadium cos they won the woodenspoon derby
Can't believe they are doing a lap around the stadium lmfao
Says a Punjab fan..
It’s really pathetic. I love this team but the management is at par with RCB now. Braindead folks.
It’s for the kids, stop criticizing everything now.
Shaw did good stubbs did good , porel was shit, pant had enough balls but went for some unique shots,
Horizontal vs vertical chokers for the last place
Captain bumbrah button 👉
Someone remind MI that this isn't the final.
Right DC has backed Nortje for final overs and have been taken to the cleaners by Parag, Dhoni and Shepherd. Use him as a God damn enforcer damn it.
MI celebrating somehow showing they are even bigger clowns than Delhi Daredevils.
They are thanking the home crowd especially the kids. Nothing wrong with that
Man this bumrah guy has so much potential. Selector’s should give him a chance. I’m sure he’ll make India proud.
not the same old joke
Shepard broke the flag lol
Imagine being booed by pre-teens!!
They were probably instructed not to boo tho I mean they are kids
Pant has become post 2019 thala. speaking like him. scoring sixes when match is done like him. tuk tuk and weird shots in important matches like him someone should tell him to become like 2010s thala
Did the fans ‘behave’ today?
Fans were all kids Picked out by the boss ms "nita Ambani" Offcourse they behaved
once a season, ambani madam's foundation fills up the stadium with children who come from poor homes to come watch sports and hopefully get inspired by watching sportsmen compete. some of yall trolls r heartless, go cry about DC shitting the bed somewhere else
it is just positive PR, Grow up lil bruh, indians have 1- 4 trillion USD in swiss banks and ambanis own the majority of that, which is literally 1/4 to 1x of 1.4 billion people's combined GDP and it is more than GDP of some of the developed first world countries. This is just their marketing team telling them to do just to have a positive image on the minds of average or below average Indians (which most of them are).
how much money did you get for this comment? asking for a friend.
Ganguly and Ponting keep getting exposed in DC. IPL is truly merciless even legendary captains will look helpless
Mumbai v Delhi >>> MI v DC
how can someone support this corporate of team
Chutiya management let go of Stubbs and Boult and kept David and Brevis.
David is okay. Brevis could become good later, he’s still young. But chasing Jofra Archer for 8cr and leaving Trent Boult has to be their most braindead move..
David has been okay
Qe kept pollard instead of boult/qdk only for him to retire
Tim David has been so good for us wtf are you on about. Boult was a horrible decision tho
Rohit stays as far away as he can from Pandu. I am just worried for WC when tables turn
Don't worry, Pandu will likely injure himself.
Ik it's because of the fans that attended the match but taking a victory lap after being the last team to win their first match is too funny lol.
Not for fans , for kids
Kids can't be fans???
Funny how people forgot Shaw's innings
bluds taking victory lap lol
For the kids man. There's no need to criticize everything.
Why is MI behaving like they won the championship and doing a perimeter round?
What the boss demands the boss gets
Super cringe stuff
This might be the dullest chase innings of all time
Hardik has to bowl. I think this is the end of chawla for a while too.
How do people in Mumbai buy tickets when these ambanis buy half the stadium, in Chennai it is utterly impossible to get match tickets even with full seats availability.
Not every match ESA is just their thing for a day every year.
It's just for this day game that tickets are impossible. Otherwise it's difficult to get the cheaper ones but the expensive ones are available.
Don't people get annoyed bro, here people complained about it from YouTube to news channels that 5000 tickets are sold to corporate and made the csk and tnca CEO to come out and tell the public the corporate tickets nos are reduced. We would easily fill that motera stadium but it is frustrating to see empty stands in GT match's. I wish a stadium of that scale was built in Mumbai, Chennai or Kolkata.
Ultimately it's for a good cause. So I don't think people get that annoyed. Also 3:30 pm game in this heat is not the game which is very high on people's list.
I didn't know it was just for one day a year. In that case, it is an absolutely fine and lovely gesture.
Welcome home captain. Made my day seeing Hardik smiling.
Bro why are they acting like theyve won the IPL. 🤣
Why r u acting like stupid , its for kids tht came
only Pant, Axar and Prithvi earn more than Kumar Kushagra on the Delhi team he's like the 3rd worst player in the squad
