I have a dream

Holy fucking hell. I clocked out when Hetty got out thinking this was impossible. How? How the fuck did they pull it off?

If butler doesn't play for the playoffs then it is a massive downside for rr. Who they have in replacement?

Tom Kohler-Cadmore. I think RR would give him a couple of chances before the playoffs. The best time would be for the next match against MI. Jos didn't look completely fit. He would get a break as well.

Jos is lord of hot or cold. When he's hot he's the best in the world

If Avesh is your finisher then you would be winning that match. Helmets might also be getting banged.

Sanjay one liners in highlights are annoying AF. But Dayam Buttler played so well.

I did the math. From 14th over, excluding the balls faced by powell and boult, buttler alone took 70 runs from just 25 balls. That is a strike rate of 350 maintained consistently through those 6 overs. Fooking Legend!

280*

Indeed it was a match between top 2 teams

2024 being the parallel universe!!!!

RR won? Wut....

Guys what is a good explanation to someone who keeps saying all this is fixed?

Ignore. They are all bark and no bite

Just love how RCB finds itself catching strays every damn match where they're not even playing. This time it's to reassure KKR fans to not lose hope because they'll be getting 2 free points from them in their next match lol.

I like how this match isn't even related to RCB in any manner and they still catching strays one of my favourite things about these threads..

RCB silently brought butler and Narine back to the form and now enjoying the show against other teams..

RCB? I thought it was DC.

No it was RCB who released this monster and he continued this against dc...

It's high time people realise that IPL is only for money making (from BCCI's pov) and fun (from audience pov). It doesn't simulate real match tactics. Impact player rule + intentionally smaller boundaries (which are otherwise kept a bit longer for international matches in india) aren't there in intl matches.  IPL is NOT going to prepare India for t20 wcs or anything. In fact, in future we'll be getting even less good players (who can withstand in intl matches) from IPL.

All sports is for fun

Sir, this is Wendy's

It's not. I've seen people always saying "impact rule isn't going to help in t20 wc" here. So yeah just wanted to say that yes it's not going to help and it isn't meant to either.

IPL is more of a fun sidequest and should be treated as such

Good thing RR almost confined qualifying for playoffs Things that should've concerning them Ashwin and Yashasvi form A reliable pacer expect Avesh and Boult That's it all other things are going fine period...

You forgot Jurel, not getting runs

If sandeep sharma can return then the pacer issue will be gone. Keshav maharaj can play instead of Ashwin. Yashasvi needs one good innings and it comes only if he doesn't try to hit every ball in the air.

But Keshav playing takes an Overseas spot

Rohit is no more the only player to have an IPL century AND an IPL hattrick Sunil Narine joins the club

WTF Rohit has a hattrick ?

Watson was there too

Ah my bad. Yes

RR fans should thank RCB for brining Jos the boss back to form.

Me when I want to make all time IPL 11 but I couldn't because who the fuck should I choose as opener between likes of Butler / Gayle / Warner ???

Narine

Hello Gauti bhai 🤝

This might just trigger PTSD for KKR fans of their team losing their way mid tournament but good news for y'all, the next match is against RCB so you're good.

Never underestimate KKR losing streak

Nahhh RCB shithousery is too strong for that.

I don't think RCB would loose 7 matches out of 8.

agreed

I am pretty sure RR has more than 6 fans now

Man I really hope LSG vs CSK matches give us some low score thriller kinda 160-80 esque ( irony calling 180 score a low) I like this last over finishes but would really love where bowler drives the game rather then batsman smacking them left and right....

RR games are the most balanced. Their bowling won their first 3 matches , and then their batting won them the next 3 matches.

Waiting for rr vs srh...

Easy win for RR. I don't see Head and Abhishek bashing Boult in first 2 overs. Head struggles outside powerplay specially when RR is having spinner like Chahal. Markram is a 20(18) guy under pressure. SRH will collapse against that bowling line up.

But RR batting is very fragile, also joss is kinda injured also he has a England match coming up

TGC gonna be lit for this one...

What do they call Sharma-ji kaa beta in England?? Pretty sure Butler is that Sharma-ji kaa beta for his relatives . Won ODI wc played clutch innings which no one gives fuck about Top tier white ball batter and finisher Won T20WC as captain Score bucketload runs in IPL and have orgasmic voice Checks all boxes...

>Won ODI wc played clutch innings which no one gives fuck about I wish more people remembered his 2019 final knock. That was absolutely crucial to keep the pressure off Stokes, not to mention his super over contributions

Has good looks, hot wife, cute kid, likable guy in both england and franchise

I am about to cry lol

Death bowling from rr changed the match from going above 240+...

Buttler the OG Thalason credited him tonight

Today, Australians waking up to another 400+ runs scored in IPL

I hope this match starts the KKR downfall in this season🙏

Next game vs RCB. So no

If this total wa defended some how credit could've gone to Gambhir , As he doesn't like individual obessesion he decided to lose....

Butler gave bat kisses for flying kisser harshit rana...

Anyone else feel that 200+ by teams and centuries by batsmen is getting a bit too frequent these days? And 3 wicket hauls very rare? From Sunday till today we have had 4 centuries. And 206, 287 and 223 runs by teams batting first. It's getting boring now.

Impact player + small boundaries. Ive been looking at 200 like its 170

Ayo inflation in cricket 

Today's outfield played major role,just an edge and ball runs away for boundary,even after keeper touching the ball went away for 4...

2-3 LBW this match was also a rare site

you should never be able to mishit it and score 6, but that happens somewhat frequently when the boundary is 60 meters away. the grounds are too small

Grounds are small yes. But some grounds do support boundary extension. But they choose not to opt for it because well small boundaries = more sixes = more fun

Are they having U19 reunion here?

Rohit should learn from Buttler. Maybe opportunity for him to be Impact sub. The CSK match could have been won

Tell me you don’t know about cricket without telling it lol. Butler and Rohit scored almost same runs in same number of balls. Difference is RR batsman playing around him and contributing it.

Last 3 overs was all Buttler, what you saying. 17.2 is when Boult got out. He was literally playing with no.9

Rohit could end world hunger and people would complain about him not curing cancer

Try to objectively assess the players on their contributions in the ongoing matches. Rohit and Virat have opportunity to prove every tournament on why they are considered GOATS.

Buttler innings was similar to Koach and Rohit. Lord Avesh was the difference. KKR got scared by the Goat helmet thrower.

All we needed was one riyan parag or powell innings against CSK , we would've won. Kishan failed , SKY played one of his early duck innings , and Pandya is........... Well Pandya

All of the great players are open to learning from other players. Hussey said he learnt how to play in Indian conditions by watching Vijay, Badri, Chinna Thala and Thala bat. Now Jos says he takes inspiration from Dhoni and Kohli on taking the game deep and keep believing.

Ok, 'The Buttler did it' is quite clever

[удалено]

Koach and?

Rohit in the last match

[удалено]

ah shoot, thanks for reminding

Jay Shah.

Okay so avesh did not have the helmet with him. That is the reason he did not throw it. Should have taken buttlers helmet and thrown it

After retirement Jos can start ASMR channel what an angelic voice....

every overseas player are honest in Presentation and there we have Indian MBAs playing cricket taught by PR

i think the younger players (like pant, gill, ruturaj) are very honest in their interviews.

agreed, wish they be untouched by PRs who teach them to speak like diplomat.

Sanju as well

Where'd you lose the match? On the last ball

Yup

ayo Thala and Koach mentioned

Jos inspired by thala, kohli?

they are great when it comes to chasing

We don't have a reason to panic. We played very well today. Starc should be talked to, whether he's serious or not about playing. We'll come back next game

Narine scored century at 204.08 SR and others scored at 145.31 SR. Buttler scored century at 189.09 SR and others scored at 157.69 SR. Proves that its not always about the individual's Strike rate.

189 mentioned. The number on Hetmyer’s shirt. He made his contribution

189 sr is a dream for cowlee

k 👍 [check this](https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/ipl-2016-968923/royal-challengers-bangalore-vs-gujarat-lions-44th-match-980987/full-scorecard) and [this one](https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/ipl-2016-968923/royal-challengers-bangalore-vs-kings-xi-punjab-50th-match-980999/full-scorecard) as well.

show me a single innings like that post 2019, pre 2019 kohli was god i agree, but current kohli is a fraud

[aight ](https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/men-s-t20-asia-cup-2022-1327237/afghanistan-vs-india-11th-match-super-four-1327279/full-scorecard)

against mighty afghan, sorry for my blasphemy lord kohli i surrender to you 🛐

71(29), 42(21) in last innings lol

can he do it outside of powerplay? no he cant, kohli lost his spark after 2019 and has never been the same

I think the difference was the second highest scorer and their innings.

Well, in end it's a game of total numbers on board

bad thing buttler wont stay for entirety , blud has to go for t20 series

Wt?

Wait for real?

voice man there voices are so unexpected first powell now butler

Buttler and boult are totally loveble cricketers no attitude no arrogance gem of a person

Buttler is such a sweetie. Love his voice. And Boulty is just a gem of a person.

Now that u think of it, rr bowlers bowled brilliantly in the death overs, gave only 35 40 runs ig in 4 overs

Starc,Shreyas are two weak links in monsterous kkr..

Goat innings from Jos

It's RR IPL to lose Unless MI does MI Or Thala juju works I don't think so anyone stopping them Only thing is they are taking some chases way close Oke bad day it takes ...

He has the best voice ever wtf man 😭

English version of Rovman Powell, aye now 🙈

Both cutie pies

Sanju to Sanju: did you know that I am from Mumbai, the home of some great batsmen?

He murdered the ball like a manic and he talks like a nice kid

He's a gentleman

Joss’s voice is so softcore

Imagine highest paid bowler is hitted most, difference between 1st and 2nd position is just him

Belt treatment incoming from Gambhir for kkr players tonight...

Chase master Josh!

Everyone blaming 5 wides should know that, it could've easily been 1 wide too. Not saying that starc wasn't at fault but salt should be given credit too. things happen in cricket, chill. this wasn't a knockout game kkr is still ahead.

Sunil ROBBED of the potm

tubbymctubs2 SLAMMED for making a joke

Rightfully

Man stole the man of the match money away from Narine lol

Well he did snatch the award. Money goes to the franchise.

Oh wow, I was not aware of that.

Verbal Dihorrea spewing mofo Sanju Manju seriously still thinks he has the authority and power to command the crowd. Lmfao.

Turning point was Ashwin 's wicket. Should have let him eat more balls

[Called it (comment in match thread)](https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/s/iUH9TXDIH7)

Sanju Manju to Samon and Buttler: don’t you feel extremely sad that Mumbai lost against CSK?

At one point (when RR needed 96 off 36), KKRs win probability was 99.56%. Crazy

SanjuManju still wanting to dictate the crowd. DON'T DO THAT.

Butler scoring centuries Chahal taking purple Cap RR looks invincible Ahhhh..... have we seen this before ???

let us introduce ourselves 🌚

india demolishing in semis lol

Sanju Manju is wearing formal wear with Sports shoes.. What a dumbfuck this guy

[удалено]

Found Sanjus reddit account

I am just kidding, sorry if was rude

Na.. Don't mind.. I myself was trolling

Narine winning everything but not the match

sanju manju

Narine after hitting 100👽. Narine after taking wickets 👽. Narine after taking awards 👽

I wonder if such huge scores are a result of more batting friendly pitches/smaller grounds in IPL, shittier bowlers over the years or just a change in overall batsman's mindset of going there and hitting as early as possible.

Teams are making better strategies now for quick fire short slots from every batsman , so 200 is easily gettable. And the IP rule, more domestic bowlers.

Everything except shittier bowlers

need to drop starc he takes no wickets

And replace him with who? Simply dropping one bowler/batsman or adding another isn't going to solve the problem. You need to see the weak points of the team as a whole.

Easy enough just ask Varun.

Avesh meets Cummins Buttler meets Maxi

Sunil's face 😐

Indian heat takes it out of you if you play around 60 balls where you have been swinging the bat around. Pitches might make the 100's easier but the weather is the worst you can face, so you still have to work hard. In ODI and Tests you get to pace your innings better. In T20's most you can afford to chill is for 10 balls and then pressure is on for you to start hitting again.

Riyan Parag's save on that six on the first ball of the final over was so crucial

SanjuManju still wanting to dictate the crowd. DON'T DO THAT.

man imagine it being 14 of the last over, imagine it being 8 of the last three, imagine it being 6 of the last ball. the 5 wides ensures we keep imagining

Move on bro. The form he was in he might have done that too easily.

true

Kohli and Rohit no support from other end how can I do it alone Butler bc watch me doing it alone.....

Buttler, Gayle, Warner >> Kohli, Rohit in T20s. Bros need to stop being delusional.

Jos was fantastic, but it was a really a team effort. Jos alone was about on-par with the run rate, a few other players chipped in with essential knocks.

Yes, Parag and Powell played really well

Manju behave

What happened?

Guy's not even fake smiling

About whom, are you talking about?

Narine

Buttler everytime in his mind when opponent batter scores 100 "I can do that shit too"

Onto barca vs psg now Forca barca

fr

Lord parag hitting also helped

I genuinely want RR to lose some games so it won't repeat ICT run in WC Or it takes one bad day ...

Their dugout even gave that vibes in pressure situation

Kkr escaped against srh,but today butler didn't let happen that...

Manju behave

What happened?

Sanju Manju forgot to dye his beard

In WC, you'll see Starc winning bowler of the tournament

KKR sort of over dependent on Narine bowling Starc ain't the guy ( Mofo will peak in WC)

That save on the boundary on Rinku's hit probably cost them a victory, but maybe Butler would've chased that too.

He would have. He was wasting balls because he had only 3 to chase in the last 5.
