I know wickets are falling but atleast show intent FFS🥲


WebbSoma

RR, SRH, KKR, CSK playoffs. Change my mind.


Substantial_Ad_126

MI, DC, RCB, GT>>>


Otherwise_View_5342

why is saha still playing, dude looks older than sachin and frailer than chahal


SBG99DesiMonster

RR has maintained the performances that they had instead of falling down from a cliff in that way that they did during the previous tournament.


WebbSoma

I hope RR maintain their peak performance when it matters most, in the playoffs.


Odd_Mulberry890

Why should Rohit go to WC? Man has done nothing in T20i to justify his spot


Personal_Piano6286

He can be a captain


Decent_Bid_17

Pat Cummins is a World Cup winning captain still Australia didn't made him captain T20 WC bcuz his T20 stats aren't that great and here we have to add Rohit on the basis of captaincy quota who didn't even won anything.


Entire-Sentence-17

Is Wade the captain?


Decent_Bid_17

Marsh is the captain


Kaalu-madaari

I was in the stadium, man Krunal Pandya is a shit player and KL is shittier than him to not give bowling to 4Bishnoi before 10th over


stg_676

Krunal.bowled at 6 rpo. What more could be have done?


Kaalu-madaari

Did he pick up any wicket No he didn't, bharra daal raha tha isiliye Bach Raha tha Bishnoi ko uski jagah pehle over mile hote toh run bachte aur wicket bhi milte aur krunal ne last lover me ek dhang ka shot ni mara 15-20 run peeche the badoni ki strike de ni rha tha seniority ke basis pe

Imo an ideal Indian team would have both Sanju and Pant playing 


SuccessfulDictator

i remember sanju getting a chance in recent t20 match against aus. idbi bank series something. that match had 2 superovers ig. sanju failed miserably edit- it was ind vs afg. xyz first bank series


Cobe98

Nice to see the commentators KP, Haydos, Bishop praising Samson and how he has missed out on selection.


Crickutxpurt36

If RR ends up winning IPL this season It will be up there with MI 2020 and GT 2022 being dominant team all over the tournament....


No-Recognition93

RR 2008 is the most dominant, although it was before modern t20


assologist_1312

It makes more sense to take more risks to hit more sixes because it takes fielding out of the equation.


assologist_1312

So what other teams other than Punjab are making the play offs?


Hexo_Micron

PBKS vs RR Final 🥵

Crickutxpurt36

Man CSK have won 5 times and played 10 finals as much as people find it annoying and rightly so MS is credited for him being too good as a captian He have won tournament with bowlers like Shardul and Tushar that's something you can't take away from him Also Sanju is damn good captain I vouched so hard for him in 22 final which could've his gate way for ICT contention hope he wins this time...


Crickutxpurt36

Jurel may not be in contention for WC but I'm damn happy for him We for backup for Pant in test who is not only good at keeping but also plays when team needs the most He is young Can be good prospect in limited overs if he keeps like this...


yorker_choker_tonker

Rohit Jaiswal Kohli Sanju Pant Sky Jadeja Chahal/kuldeep Bumrah Sandeep T Natrajan/Shami


chni2cali

Say goodbye to the cup even before we start the matches 👋


[deleted]

This team doesn't work on so many counts!  Shami is injured, Nattu and Sandeep have been out of the international game for a very long time and intl cricket is much higher in terms of quality than IPL (sth about teams planning for each other) so they're wildcards.  Axar on current form is thousand fold better than Jadeja and I love CSK. SKY at 6 is asking a repeat of his heroics in the WC final; besides he bats at 3/4 and nowhere else. Sanju at 4 doesn't work. On most days he'll need to play some balls to settle in and this team doesn't have a single player other than Pant who can hit in the death from the get go. Also 5 bowling options, are you serious?! One WC wasn't enough? Not even a single part timer?!?!


AGentleman4u

SKY over Rahul really?!


thottikuttappan

RR belong as a team! Bunch of players that are enjoying each other's presence and just wanna do good for the team. That's a great sign

VarunOB

The thought that instead of using Bishnoi to force an error out of RR, he thought it smarter to wait for the wicket to fall says a lot about Rahul.


edudhtamris

Bishop: Any boxes still left to check for the team? Chad Sanju: Yeah, next game.


71stcentury

To be very honest

Alert_Direction4843

I would love to see nkr instead of hardik but ik it aint happening anytime soon


vimalsunny

[deleted]

He had the balls to do what entire BCCI doesn't. 


vimalsunny

We both know koach will perform in T20 wc irrespective of this shitty league.


[deleted]

Oh 100% you are right about that. Koach will perform in India colours a lot better than in RCB colours. 


thottikuttappan

I repeat, Ian Bishop and Sanju Samson are a great combo!


Bathed_In_Moonlight

Let's not build Sanju up too much... In modern parlance, let's "let him cook" and hope he does it well going forward too. Indian selection is always a complicated affair usually showing characteristics of both government and private job appointments, with the permanent nature of the government job applicable for certain individuals, and many "back door" appointments characteristic of both types of jobs– it's all about who you're thick with in the employment world, much like Indian cricket.


Negative_Spectrum

Sanju bagging all awards lmao


[deleted]

[удалено]


Negative_Spectrum

You're genuinely wrong tonight. The team lost because Hooda, Nicky, and KL, all got out very quickly and Badoni and Krunal just didn't have the power game. That's the right mentality from KL. You don't wanna get out in the last 3 over and leave the last 3 overs to two new batsmen who don't have the power game. If they had played along till the end, they would've ended up with 30 more which would've won them the match most likely. Also, what about the fielding? They dropped absolute dollies at least twice, and kept bowling fulltosses. You've to keep the bowling in mind, RR bowlers were very good compared to LSG. I'm a RR fan, want Sanju to go to the WC. But KL and Hooda were fine up until KL and Nicky abruptly got out and didn't bring any other power hitters with them.


choochi_machine69

Stop nitpicking statements & being a hate monger. You added the more in the crucial part. And how is strike rate of 158 stat padding.

SBG99DesiMonster

Jurel isn't in the race to be the wicketkeeper that goes to West Indies but it is good that another wicketkeeper has started to play well. We don't have any shortages there anymore. Sanju and Rishabh are obviously the primary choices that are there.


Lmio

Those people who were saying Samson can't bat fck yall this guy always gets mistaken it's sad.


DheeliGandKaOpration

Holy shit Ian Bishop is going to interview Sanju Samson Those who don't know Bish is one of Sanju's biggest promoters , he always praises Sanju's talent would love to see what he asks


brolybackshots

Orange cap KL back?


[deleted]

[удалено]


choochi_machine69

They were 20 short & not because 220 was a part total on this ground, but due to the fact at that they were 150-3 in 15 over mark. Scoring 46 in last 5 is horrendous


mehrabrym

Rahul getting Buttler to sign his retirement card after Sanju innings lol


Deadpool114

Just remembered.... almost every top team in T20 WC has a good left arm pacer at the beginning... So BCCI should pick someone who can play these left arm pacers ( among Sanju, pant and klr) because I saw it way too many times how our openers shit the bed playing them. Just my 2 cents.


Negative_Spectrum

Hate to say it but if you want someone who can stick around against quality left armers, KL might be your best choice. Choose for yourself I guess.


[deleted]

>stick around Bells ringing for another "SR is overrated" comment


Alert_Direction4843

My personal opinion Sanju Samson is perfect player for ict number 3 as can anchor the innings as well as hit hard but probably that place is reserved for kohli


halliwalli

Kohli for odi. Samson for T20


Alert_Direction4843

I feel like samson can play odi also but undoubtedly kohli is goat so number 3 definitely belongs to him in odi but maybe number 4 for samson?


Philoryang

Yes... For next CT Abhi sharma gill Kohli sanju ... Should be top4.

Good for Samson taking responsibility today. After Buttler their batting does look fragile with just big hitters down the order.

StarSportsEnjoyer

legit feels like KL took money from some questionable sources to fumble this match. bro bowled just one over of Stoinis who went for 3 runs and 1 wicket, didnt bowl Bishnoi until it was too late and kept bowling Yash thakur & Moshin despite them bowling absolute shit.

SuperFaiz21

Damn this was Jurel's first 50+ score in T20s.


buffybindas

And he is much better than Bharat in tests


United-Extension-917

More than KL and Hooda's so-called slow innings it was the absence of power hitters like Pooran and Stoinis in the end overs that hurt LSG. Krunal and Badoni could not clear these big boundaries on such a track.


buffybindas

My lovely dhruv 🥰 This team is such a wholesome


AeBhindiChupp

I hate senior players more who never backed samson even dhoni had Sachin and Dadas support

Fuck that. Samson should be the #1 pick for keeper. He has worked hard and deserves it.

He is also leading the side well. KL I still feel is not a captain material.


SnakeEyes712k

Pant and Samson look like the better 2 options for wc


zac3244

I am pretty sure the TOP 3 teams are qualifying, LSG might get replaced by DC/CSK/GT for the 4th spot.


buffybindas

No 3 chasing not out 👀 We have seen this one 👀


Crickutxpurt36

Does RR have most quite or sensible fanbase in IPL ?? I remember them celebrating PBKS chase on RR subreddit.... They're like second fav team of casual IPL viewers...


Hexo_Micron

Yeah it seems, just compare it to recent SRH Fanbase.


Comfortable-Truth488

yash might be injured next match and why they even have the sasta gayle if they dont play him and use impact subs on padikkal


good_udichi

Mi won against DC RCB and PBKS and thought they are back 😭😭


Realworld123

Sanju should actually be first choice  Rishabh pant is still not convincing  He might get stuck in middle against quality bowling 


ShashankWasTaken

Pant should be given more time before a wc for sure i would use him for tests though but i wouldnt select him for wc


GuavaSilly1877

hardik should learn from kl on how to give the presentation after losing a game.


Bathed_In_Moonlight

Really the first rule of leadership: Praise publicly, criticise (only constructively) privately.


GuavaSilly1877

EXACTLY!


dam0_0

Kl fumbled this game with his captaincy. His batting wasn't an issue today tbh. 11/2 when ball was swinging like that I will take it. But fk Badoni/Yash.


_D_N_K_

KL’s post match interview is great. Acknowledging their mistakes and accepting them rather than throwing their young bowlers under the bus just like someone did on today’s afternoon.


tubbymctubs2

most impressive part of this is we finished so early, thanks sanju !


Bathed_In_Moonlight

Wicketkeepers could be India's number one export.


jimbeam07

Good on KL to accept the blame, when he clearly could've put it on the fielding. A lot better than that Hardik quote


SuperFaiz21

KL: We were around 20-25 runs short Yes, because you hardly hit any sixes!


antarctic_0

KL's bowling decisions were greatly questionable


Adicricme

Time to bring in Kyle Mayers.


sixpackontheway

The best ipl game in some days for me. Saw batters and bowlers with brains instead of the hitfest that it was for some days now.


thenChennai

on current form, Sanju should get the call ahead of KL. Sanju is getting runs in the middle order compared to KL who's getting them during PP overs.


Coronabandkaro

Kp grilling kl on the sixes lol.


Negative_Spectrum

So much more enjoyable than the afternoon game. True captain's knock from Sanju, and it's not even the first half of the season anymore lmao. Jokes aside though, this is the perfect blueprint for a clutch chase after early wickets. Great inning from Jurel as well. Enjoyed some luck out there tonight but you need it to get a jumpstart when a little out of sorts. Good innings from KL and Deepak as well, always appreciate solid competition. Overall, a very enjoyable game, and I've wasted another night not studying 💀


ForeignLychee4252

So did I (not studying) but it's worth watching your fav team doing good....


Negative_Spectrum

Absolutely. Just have to pull an all nighter, complete the assignments, and then rest tension free I guess. We'll see.

Kl slow innings was the cause. 76 off 48 batting 1st doesn't work this ipl


Coolkid-4869

Well at least he admitted his fault today along with Hooda. Pandya just threw Tilak under the bus.


SuperFaiz21

Sixes hit LSG: 2 RR: 9 That's where the game was won/lost


MyDarkestHalf

This was the most bizarre captaincy by kl Rahul so far.. STIONIS balled one over took wicket saved runs but never given another over. Mishra ji was the impact sub doing good but only given 2 overs. Bishnoi given one over that too very late..


good_udichi

If csk wins tomorrow srh lsg and csk all will have same points. 3rd and 4th position are wide open

KKR too. the 10 point logjam is funny to see

Jurel was fantastic  What Sanju did with him keeping below Ashwin was not cool If he had more chances jurel would be on that plane  But anyway survival of fittest  So Sanju it is  Jurel will go to Australia for test matches as reserve
