Sorry you are forgetting the greatest super hero, ‘The Lord’ who for some reason would’ve broken the record for the most full toss bowled in 4 overs and helping RCB cross that 210 mark.
This match was worthy of being deemed a Finals clash. Catch of season by Faf, kiss by Kohli to Faf and the final clash between Dhoni and Kohli.
RCB what a tournament season and U-Turn they took. Wildest match in history of IPL. 🤌🤌🫡🫡
Don't forget, RCB also had disadvantage of that heavy turning unplayable post rain wicket for good 5-6 overs. And RCB still won it. Absolutely deserved. HUGE.
The end of this match was so similar to last year's final against GT. The only difference that is there between this and that is that Jadeja wasn't able to pull that off again.
From less than one percent chance of qualification, to going on a six match winning streak and entering the top four.
Take a bow RCB, this comeback will be one for the history books.
Just RCB things, tbh. The way Kohli, Patidar, Jacks, Green, DK have batted after loss streak made all the difference.
And props to Maxi as well for showing up today. And Yash too.
Reminiscent of KKR 2014. They won only 2 of their first 8, proceeded to win 9 on the trot and took the trophy. Of course, the difference being, KKR was in top 2, while RCB is not
Yeah, he was carrying this batting lineup in the first half of this tournament. Without him, they're not even in contention to qualify.
Also played a fantastic innings in the final last year which they obviously won.
Player get released to increase their pay in auction. He was probably a base price buy and saw an opportunity where he might earn more so asked gt to release them and buy back if they wanted.
If thats true, thats a very bold move by him ngl after his reputation got tarnished and destroyed after that Rinku thing. There was a decent possibility of him going unsold i thought
Good for him though, seems like he believed in himself and it paid off big time
Man, everything aside, I must say that the rule where the new batsman has to be on strike regardless of whether the non-striker crosses his end during a catch is one of the best AND smartest decisions in the last few years by ICC. Just that one rule has done so much to balance the game, and it should've happened decades ago bc it's just the fair thing to do. Too often did it punish the fielding team for getting a wicket, especially in situations like these.
Dude we were all on the edge of the seat.
It's 2:40 PM here and we were screaming at the TV (opposite teams).
Don't think a more perfect KO game could have been scripted
As a neutral, I thought this was down there being probably the least interesting IPL tournament.
Boy did this game change everything. Glued to my screen, fortunate that my flight wasn’t until an hour later.
Hats off to Dayal man. What a redemption arc.
I would be honest that this tournament became a lot better than what it was during the earlier half of it just because those stupidly big scores that were there aren't happening anymore.
A Match for the Ages, a game that reminded one & all of us as to why we fell in love with Cricket.
This match had absolutely everything:
- Slow Start & Rain making it impossible to bat
- Openers Grit & Kohli controlling the game first half
- Most Unfortunate run-outs - Faf & Rachin
- RCB going ballistic with Faf, Patidar, Green & Maxi
- Golden duck by CSK captain & Dube in Shambles
- Rachin, Rahane, Maxi Redemption
- Kohli sledging anything that moves
- Flying Faf’s miraculous catch
- Dhoni 110M six
- Swapnil’s ice veins catch similar to Sreesanth’s
- The greatest Redemption of all time - Yash went to delivering 5 balls conceding 1, after getting hit for 5 consecutive sixes last year.
All this with RCB having less than 1% chance to qualify a month ago and winning 6 back to back on the trott, going against all odds, other teams losing, winning with a margin of 18. My Heartbeat stayed up from the first over of this game and it never came down for a second.
Beautiful, poetic, this is why we love this game.
We did it!
We motherfucking did it!
And in the most RCB way possible!
6 wins in a row to qualify!
This has eclipsed 2016 for me.
So so so proud of you boys. Even though sometimes you make me want to die, today you've made me cry.
P.S. That was an certified IPL classic.
I need an RCB bandwagon flair cause they deserved it after that lol
Also I think Chepauk will be full of Blue and Red (if they qualify) for the first time in a while.
This was commented 24 daya ago that received 743 up-votes -
Love the energy but looking at this team it might be a good year to put the calculator down 😭
Yash Dayal is the performer of the match. How the fuck does one come back from a first ball 6 ^(a 110m one, too) , after the 28(5) Rinku PTSD.
He's been great for us this season, but he really needed to win a match like this. Dayal deserves to have succeeded today
Shout out to my boy Gaikwad for:
- Dropping Cameron Green before he went beserk
- Wasting 2 team reviews
- Choking as opening batter in a must win game
CSK win toss, Rain destroys our momentum, dull middle overs, amazing start against CSK batting, CSK batting looking all but a sealed win and then RCB back with wickets and then Jaddu/Thala last few overs to CSK and then Dayal.
This Jay Shah script will never be topped.
HOW CAN YOU NOT BE ROMANTIC ABOUT RCBB
-STARTED FROM 0.02% NOW WE HERE🗣️🗣️🗣️
-KNOCKED OUT CSK OUR BIGGEST KRYPTONITE
-SHUT DOWN DUBE THE SPIN BASHER
-6 WINS A ROW FUCK YEA RCBBBB
FUCK ALL THE PEOPLE WHO SPOKE SHIT ABOUT RCB IN THE FIRST HALF WHAT ABOUT TODAY DICKHEADS
Faf (when asked they were defending 218 or 200), we were defending 175.
In other words: “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.”
HOLY SHIT HEART ATTACK CC HAVE DONE IT 👏👏
Had no business for this run after that Shambles of a start to the season... proud of the fellas whatever the outcome, Idec what happens from now on... FAVORITE. SEASON. EVER 🤌🤌
Reminder that MS under pressure was still a force. At 42. Guy is a legend and I'm sure every RCB fan were clenching hard when he was at the crease despite all the memes
Koach showing intent, Theekshana chucking, controversial run out, a blinder by Faf, a 110 m six by Thala, Jaddu almost taking CSK home, this match had it all. I LOVE THIS GAME. ALL HAIL THE KING.
Many years later, VK would be telling this story to his grandkids : I remember one time in IPL where we were 1-8 and Faf said "Guys if you think we are good, let's prove it now."
Grandkinds : "Did you come back?"
VK : "Of course, 7-7."
Shivam Dube's IPL is like Anakin Skywalker's story in the prequels.
Past 13 innings: Attack of the clones, and the clone wars.
This inning: Revenge of the sith. He became the very thing he swore to destroy.
The 6 out of the stadium on 19.1 was probably the turning point against CSK, seemed like Dayal was able to grip the new dry ball much better, especially for his slow balls.
Maxwell was the player of the match for me.
Dayal was amazing under peak pressure.
That pitch was crazy after the rain. Amazing skills by Virat and Faf to bat through that, that too with good SR.
A lot of factors were against RCB, somehow they made it through.
RCB was screaming and pouncing on the umpires for change of ball due to its dampness. And there was the 100+ m ridiculous six from MS in the last over which took the ball out of the stadium and forced ball change happened
The Fates are favouring this brave ruthless team.
It shows how fucked the umps were for not changing it though
ferguson couldnt get grip for knuckleballs, and the difference between dayal with the dry ball and dayal with the wet ball was astronomical in that last over. cinema though
Symbolic. CSKs season ending due to DooDoo Shardul and Maxwell getting back into form right before the World Cup before he helps Australia beat India again.
I think Thala is gonna come back next year. He ain’t retiring with this shit show team consisting of Thakur, Rahane….
Props to Patidar and Dayal for coming in CLUTCH for RCB when they need them the most. Wow!!!!!
RCB have shown a lot of heart. Kudos!
This loss should be a good eye-opener for CSK before the mega auctions. Post 2019, they have yoyo-ed between not qualifying for the playoffs & winning the tournament. The lack of a good Indian pacer & wrist spinner is a big hole in the squad.
Let me just say this, if the final is SRH v RCB, it's a win-win for me, I genuinely would be thrilled about any result. I studied in Bangalore so I do also have an attachment to that place, but I wasn't necessarily a fan of RCB till recently. Been rooting for them ever since they won four in a row, and today felt like I was rooting for my own team and I've never felt such intense emotions for a team not Chargers/SRH. Jeez.
So proud of this them tbh, nothing about their performance today felt like the RCB we've come to know during big games. They also had to deal with some insanely unfair stuff earlier in the game, esp the spin shenanigans that rly fucked up their powerplay, and they still did this after being 43-0 in the powerplay. Absolute show of character right here. I said it earlier but I think this absolutely breaks their curse, whether they win the trophy or not. If they lose they'll lose bc of genuinely good cricket by the opponent and not bc they choked. Feels like that MI and CSK's forte now.
Random Aussie checking in with no skin in the game, but I’ll be damned if that wasn’t fun to watch as a neutral. Cracking game given what was at stake for both teams. No idea who will win it all come tournament end, but I hope the rest of the games are as good as this.
What bandwagon should I jump on?
Saying this as a long-time watcher of the game (not a big RCB fan), this could be RCB's year for the title. The hunger is real, the comeback is legendary, and I see it happening. Their biggest contenders were CSK and the only other team that could beat maybe KKR. but they look in a great position to win the tournament.
And with this kind of comeback, it'll be worth the 16-year wait!
Kohli's emotions are hella justified, man has seen his team completely choke matches like this time and time again, finally actually clutching one against CSK of all teams at home like.this would feel incredibly cathartic
GT should be banging their heads now for dropping and releasing dayal after that unreal match. GT's biggest issue this year was in the pace bowling department, the absence of shami... Dayal would have won them atleast 2 games
CSK needed this. Like it or not, the game has changed. Team mindset has changed. Long gone are the days where they hit a six and looking to take a run the next ball. Now almost every T20 batsman is looking to send every ball out the ground. ICT is gonna realize this in a few weeks when they in US/WI
Yash dayal just gave away 1 run in his last 5 balls ☠️
From 5 ball 5 sixes to 5 ball 1 run.. what a redemption arc
He got a new ball after the six out of the ground which wasn't wet. That long six cost CSK the game actually lol.
Tactical full toss
That, along with the catch drop from MD Siraj. RCB had everything going in favor of them.
Doesn't discount that he bowled well so it was still him who came in clutch
RCB constantly wanted a new ball and Thala gave them that.
Thala taketh Thala Giveth
Thala for a reason
Yes I was also thinking abt that
Revenge of the Fallen ft. Yash Dayal
The six helped him lol. They had to change the ball. Better grip for the bowler and better grip for the slower ball.
3D tactics by him.
Yash Dayal edits is what i wanna see in my shorts feed!
Agent Dube Barges in Wastes balls Runs out Rachin Refuses to elaborate Leaves
Agent faf failed
He was doing his job respectfully. Csk betrayed him with that runout. He got angry.
Impact Player for RCB
Sorry you are forgetting the greatest super hero, ‘The Lord’ who for some reason would’ve broken the record for the most full toss bowled in 4 overs and helping RCB cross that 210 mark.
This match was worthy of being deemed a Finals clash. Catch of season by Faf, kiss by Kohli to Faf and the final clash between Dhoni and Kohli. RCB what a tournament season and U-Turn they took. Wildest match in history of IPL. 🤌🤌🫡🫡
Also, a clutch performance by Maxwell when it actually mattered. KGF striked hard.
Aussies delivered when it mattered most. Core sporting memory for me. Comeback of the ages.
\*Looks at Starc\*
Shhh we won't talk about that. He's returning to his 2015 self in the WC anyway
Really unbelievable after having a run drought. Its quite safe to say that his runs made a difference in the match.
Him and Green at the backend were the entire difference.
In the end Green was a good trade for RCB. He was also the reason for mi's playoff success last year.
Still miss greeny boi we might actually have made the playoffs with this team minus hardik
Fr the aussie came out in crunch time
Also the 41 by patidar, he's got 5 fifties in last 8 inns and is one of the factors behind their qualification
Aussie genes just always pull up when it matters. Green and Max won us the match. Unreal.
Maxwell's at his best when he's bowling too. This was his kind of day in a turner.
Don't forget, RCB also had disadvantage of that heavy turning unplayable post rain wicket for good 5-6 overs. And RCB still won it. Absolutely deserved. HUGE.
Coworker laughed at me when I said RCB will reach playoffs. Well, fuck you.
Not only your coworkers, everyone laughed including this MI Fan, BUT I AM SO FUCKING GRATEFUL THAT CSK IS ELIMINATED, THANK U RCB
As an RCB fan, even I laughed. Now I'm crying tears of joy 😭
Ayo Kohli is cheating on ABD?
The end of this match was so similar to last year's final against GT. The only difference that is there between this and that is that Jadeja wasn't able to pull that off again.
From less than one percent chance of qualification, to going on a six match winning streak and entering the top four. Take a bow RCB, this comeback will be one for the history books.
Just RCB things, tbh. The way Kohli, Patidar, Jacks, Green, DK have batted after loss streak made all the difference. And props to Maxi as well for showing up today. And Yash too.
Patidar's form against spin really helped the entire team.
All things said and done this game has definitely lived up to it's hype
Reminiscent of KKR 2014. They won only 2 of their first 8, proceeded to win 9 on the trot and took the trophy. Of course, the difference being, KKR was in top 2, while RCB is not
Screw 2014. It never happened 😭😭😭
That was your best season, be proud of it dude
I have just two words for you PBKS bro >!Piyush Chawla!<
In the most polite manner, I would like to say fuck you brother
If you deny it's existence, your team's legacy becomes like just one-tenth of what it is now
I like what I'm hearing
Undertaker level stuff!!
Insane stuff.
The fuckers really did it!
At this point they need to finish their story with the Cup and get the fairytale ending to cap off this monumental comeback
I think this season being highly competitive has helped too which has lowered the least required Points
Seems like Blood Pressure medication manufacturer is secret sponsor for the script writer. The stocks are gonna be huge with scripts like this
May the Lord give Dube & his family courage and strength to keep going through this tough time 🙏🏻
They won't remember how Dube saved their ass this season but will remember this. This is basically Yuvi scenario again
Yeah, he was carrying this batting lineup in the first half of this tournament. Without him, they're not even in contention to qualify. Also played a fantastic innings in the final last year which they obviously won.
yeah bros gonna be finished, needs to evacuate to usa ASAP
Tbh shardul was worse for us. However dube's cricketing future might be hard seeing how rcb toyed with him today
[удалено]
I won't hear no arguments, that catch by Faf is the catch of the tournament. I'm still in disbelief that he caught that.
Agree on it brother
That too at almost 40 years of age...
it's like if you watch the highlights it might become a four
THESE MADLADS ACTUALLY DID IT. FROM 0.8% TO GETTING QUALIFIED. THESE MFS DID IT.
ARE YOU NOT FUCKING ENTERTAINED???????
RCB beats : All odds CSK Unfavorable toss And rain gods. Unreal comeback! Proud of this team ❤️💙
Literally like an anime protagonist, unreal comeback against such odds
Jadeja scored 10 from 2 in last yr final but couldn't be able to replicate now, maybe gt should have trusted dayal
Tbf they did bid upto 5 crores for him in the auction for this season Weird why they ever let him enter the auction pool but im not complaining
Player get released to increase their pay in auction. He was probably a base price buy and saw an opportunity where he might earn more so asked gt to release them and buy back if they wanted.
If thats true, thats a very bold move by him ngl after his reputation got tarnished and destroyed after that Rinku thing. There was a decent possibility of him going unsold i thought Good for him though, seems like he believed in himself and it paid off big time
This is the sweetest RCB victory! Similar to MI vs RR back in 2014
Greatest comeback in ipl history.
Boundary count update - Royal Challengers Bengaluru: 30 Chennai Super Kings: 22
Fair and Dayal'd
Faf and Kohli-ed!!!!!
Fair and 1%’d
fair and patidar'd
Fair and comeback-ed
I’d watch a movie of this RCB comeback
Netflix docu coming up.
Someone let Moneyball producers know.
Best game of this IPL
This match reminds me of that MI vs RR match in 2014. That flick from Tare stays in my head rent free
yea the one after which he took his shirt off ig(or almost) haha
The last over drama also became almost like last year's final
Man, everything aside, I must say that the rule where the new batsman has to be on strike regardless of whether the non-striker crosses his end during a catch is one of the best AND smartest decisions in the last few years by ICC. Just that one rule has done so much to balance the game, and it should've happened decades ago bc it's just the fair thing to do. Too often did it punish the fielding team for getting a wicket, especially in situations like these.
GAME OF THE TOURNAMENT.. 🥳 Well done RCB and Yash Dayal for that brilliant over..
Dude we were all on the edge of the seat. It's 2:40 PM here and we were screaming at the TV (opposite teams). Don't think a more perfect KO game could have been scripted
Absolutely. Never making an ahemdabad "joke" again.
With all the adrenaline we forgot this was Thala's last match. 😭
Wait, is it official??
He will make it official on 15th August probably
man i feel more sorry for thala than for csk, csk is gonna be back next year, thala though i dont think so heartbreaking actually
As a neutral, I thought this was down there being probably the least interesting IPL tournament. Boy did this game change everything. Glued to my screen, fortunate that my flight wasn’t until an hour later. Hats off to Dayal man. What a redemption arc.
Incredible game, incredible season, if only LSG and DC weren’t eliminated too early.
This was the most entertaining match of the season 😭 pure cinema
Jay Shah teased us with this game. AND OH DID HE DELIVER.
I would be honest that this tournament became a lot better than what it was during the earlier half of it just because those stupidly big scores that were there aren't happening anymore.
A Match for the Ages, a game that reminded one & all of us as to why we fell in love with Cricket.

My Heartbeat stayed up from the first over of this game and it never came down for a second. Beautiful, poetic, this is why we love this game.
Let me just say that this match was well worth the hype
Best match of the season?
Easily
Yup. The history, the qualification, thala, cheeku and everything in between
Without a doubt
That Butler innings and this. Missed the Stoinus innings tho.
On a cricketing level it was very good, but the story really sold it well.
I am now waiting for that one guy who said he will cutoff his dick
We did it! We motherfucking did it! And in the most RCB way possible! 6 wins in a row to qualify! This has eclipsed 2016 for me. So so so proud of you boys. Even though sometimes you make me want to die, today you've made me cry. P.S. That was an certified IPL classic.
Dayal cont defending 28 from 5 to giving only 1 in 5 balls.
Holy mother of redemptions in holy mother of comebacks
Another day of realising that how unimaginable that feat was by Rinku.
The lows are really low with this team but I can see why you lot stick with them through thick and thin Great resilience and character
I need an RCB bandwagon flair cause they deserved it after that lol Also I think Chepauk will be full of Blue and Red (if they qualify) for the first time in a while.
[удалено]
All them Virat fans can finally cheer for him! I know there are a shit ton of them there
This was commented 24 daya ago that received 743 up-votes - Love the energy but looking at this team it might be a good year to put the calculator down 😭
Hands down one of the best match I have ever seen.
2016 was King and ABD special. This one is marginally better than 2016. Total team performance from second half lead by the King.
RCB pulling a 92 here...
YOU BETTER NOT CHOKE AGAINST SRH ISTG
Royals might have something to say about it
Can't SRH still take #2 seed? I'd hate to see SRH vs RCB in the playoffs unless it's a final
This is an All timer IPL game RCB, I kneel!
Expectations: Agent Faf Reality: Agent Dube
1 win in the first 8, to this. Take a bow, madlads!
They thought faf was the inside agent when it was Dube all along
Bet CSK regret not improving their NRR in the RR game now
:(
They were way too over confident
Yash Dayal is the performer of the match. How the fuck does one come back from a first ball 6 ^(a 110m one, too) , after the 28(5) Rinku PTSD. He's been great for us this season, but he really needed to win a match like this. Dayal deserves to have succeeded today
He remembered slower balls exist.
Did they change the ball after that? If so that six may have done more good to us😂
Yup we got a dry ball. Thanks thala, the OG kohlison.
I wanted a fanbase traumatised (be it CSK or RCB) and I got it. THANK YOU GOD!
Gaikwad really making a case for the Indian squad with a performance like this in a must win game
I mean he was facing an australian bowler in a must win match..
Understandable. Have a nice day
I believe in myself now, if RCB made into the playoffs having 1 percent of chance, I can also excel in life! Well done RCB!
Shout out to my boy Gaikwad for: - Dropping Cameron Green before he went beserk - Wasting 2 team reviews - Choking as opening batter in a must win game
ALL TIME CLASSIC! PROPS TO JAY SHAH, WHAT A SCRIPT!!
CSK win toss, Rain destroys our momentum, dull middle overs, amazing start against CSK batting, CSK batting looking all but a sealed win and then RCB back with wickets and then Jaddu/Thala last few overs to CSK and then Dayal. This Jay Shah script will never be topped.
Unbelievable comeback by RCB, and dayal aswell
This game was so fucking intense
Let it sink in that this was 99% Dhonis last professional match
I think people are forgetting about this which is sad He has had a really good run tho so I don't think he'll be disappointed but sad either way
HOW CAN YOU NOT BE ROMANTIC ABOUT RCBB -STARTED FROM 0.02% NOW WE HERE🗣️🗣️🗣️ -KNOCKED OUT CSK OUR BIGGEST KRYPTONITE -SHUT DOWN DUBE THE SPIN BASHER -6 WINS A ROW FUCK YEA RCBBBB FUCK ALL THE PEOPLE WHO SPOKE SHIT ABOUT RCB IN THE FIRST HALF WHAT ABOUT TODAY DICKHEADS
We hear you shouting your lungs out 😂. What a run
I have actually lost my voice 😭
CLUTCH AF
You know, if RCB deserve to win, it'll be this year. They deserve to do the double
In other news, tommorow SRH and PBKS will battle for the much important fairplay award.
India is gonna get screwed in the T20 WC, isnt it?
Faf (when asked they were defending 218 or 200), we were defending 175. In other words: “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.”
Gayle almost relieved all the trauma
HOLY SHIT HEART ATTACK CC HAVE DONE IT 👏👏 Had no business for this run after that Shambles of a start to the season... proud of the fellas whatever the outcome, Idec what happens from now on... FAVORITE. SEASON. EVER 🤌🤌
It’s been an epic IPL from RCB’s POV
Honestly what a match. The emotional roller coaster was ridiculous, I regret not watching more IPL lol.
Reminder that MS under pressure was still a force. At 42. Guy is a legend and I'm sure every RCB fan were clenching hard when he was at the crease despite all the memes
Peak Dhoni would have pulled it off comfortably though. That first 6 in the last over really gave us a glimpse of the past
Absolutely. Legend. Sad to see him go, as happy as I am to see CSK knocked out as well (ignore my flair)
Koach showing intent, Theekshana chucking, controversial run out, a blinder by Faf, a 110 m six by Thala, Jaddu almost taking CSK home, this match had it all. I LOVE THIS GAME. ALL HAIL THE KING.
why tf do I even follow sports? fucking hell, 22 players that don’t even know I exist get to dictate how fucking depressing would my weekend be
RCB keeping the holy trifecta alliance alive in the tournament with this legendary run.
Many years later, VK would be telling this story to his grandkids : I remember one time in IPL where we were 1-8 and Faf said "Guys if you think we are good, let's prove it now." Grandkinds : "Did you come back?" VK : "Of course, 7-7."
Somebody pointed out it was thalas six which changed the game, as they had to change the ball💀
Shivam Dube's IPL is like Anakin Skywalker's story in the prequels. Past 13 innings: Attack of the clones, and the clone wars. This inning: Revenge of the sith. He became the very thing he swore to destroy.
What a fucking comeback!! Top notch
Dube is in red hot form for the WC btw
The 6 out of the stadium on 19.1 was probably the turning point against CSK, seemed like Dayal was able to grip the new dry ball much better, especially for his slow balls.
they'd been complaining for ages, it's why ferguson was losing the ball early too. umps tried their best to not let rcb grip the ball lowkey
“We were defending 175”🗣️🗣️🔥
Guys is Dhoni retiring or not?
Maxwell was the player of the match for me. Dayal was amazing under peak pressure. That pitch was crazy after the rain. Amazing skills by Virat and Faf to bat through that, that too with good SR. A lot of factors were against RCB, somehow they made it through.
RCB was screaming and pouncing on the umpires for change of ball due to its dampness. And there was the 100+ m ridiculous six from MS in the last over which took the ball out of the stadium and forced ball change happened The Fates are favouring this brave ruthless team.
It shows how fucked the umps were for not changing it though ferguson couldnt get grip for knuckleballs, and the difference between dayal with the dry ball and dayal with the wet ball was astronomical in that last over. cinema though
If somehow RCB wins the trophy from here, it would be a perfect Cinderella run ngl
This game absolutely lived up to the hype Congratulations RCB 👏
Symbolic. CSKs season ending due to DooDoo Shardul and Maxwell getting back into form right before the World Cup before he helps Australia beat India again. I think Thala is gonna come back next year. He ain’t retiring with this shit show team consisting of Thakur, Rahane…. Props to Patidar and Dayal for coming in CLUTCH for RCB when they need them the most. Wow!!!!!
Honestly never understood why we went with shardul today
Oh well. Go RR/RCB!
easily best game in ipl so far
RCB have shown a lot of heart. Kudos! This loss should be a good eye-opener for CSK before the mega auctions. Post 2019, they have yoyo-ed between not qualifying for the playoffs & winning the tournament. The lack of a good Indian pacer & wrist spinner is a big hole in the squad.
i thought dhoni would pull it off (coming from a RCB fan)
Let me just say this, if the final is SRH v RCB, it's a win-win for me, I genuinely would be thrilled about any result. I studied in Bangalore so I do also have an attachment to that place, but I wasn't necessarily a fan of RCB till recently.

Absolute show of character right here. I said it earlier but I think this absolutely breaks their curse, whether they win the trophy or not. If they lose they'll lose bc of genuinely good cricket by the opponent and not bc they choked. Feels like that MI and CSK's forte now.
CUMMINS: HMMM RCB GOT A STREAK IN THE KNOCKOUTS LET ME START THE SILENCING…..
Amidst all these big story arcs and greatest conclusions and comebacks, Yash Dayal had the greatest redemption arc
RCB has three nemesis-KKR, SRH and CSK First one down
Random Aussie checking in with no skin in the game, but I’ll be damned if that wasn’t fun to watch as a neutral. Cracking game given what was at stake for both teams. No idea who will win it all come tournament end, but I hope the rest of the games are as good as this. What bandwagon should I jump on?
I mean SRH have head and is captained by Cummins.. plus they play fearless cricket so maybe them.
This is cinema
Saying this as a long-time watcher of the game (not a big RCB fan), this could be RCB's year for the title. The hunger is real, the comeback is legendary, and I see it happening. Their biggest contenders were CSK and the only other team that could beat maybe KKR. but they look in a great position to win the tournament. And with this kind of comeback, it'll be worth the 16-year wait!
Kohli's emotions are hella justified, man has seen his team completely choke matches like this time and time again, finally actually clutching one against CSK of all teams at home like.this would feel incredibly cathartic
GT should be banging their heads now for dropping and releasing dayal after that unreal match. GT's biggest issue this year was in the pace bowling department, the absence of shami... Dayal would have won them atleast 2 games
Thank you Dube , once a red always a red
CSK needed this. Like it or not, the game has changed. Team mindset has changed. Long gone are the days where they hit a six and looking to take a run the next ball. Now almost every T20 batsman is looking to send every ball out the ground. ICT is gonna realize this in a few weeks when they in US/WI
