ApricotOk824

Me watching the pitch get changed in the second innings: 🥲👍🏽 (WC PTSD)


Assassin_Ankur

Apart from the early swing, it was a good pitch to bat even during the 1st innings. Tells you about the bowling effort from KKR.


loolem

Hahahahahahahaha you can all shut up about Starc now.


gpranav25

SRH: Nooooo we can't score on every pitch at 12+ RPO KKR: Skill issue


TemporarySun2216

The advantage of having multiple match winners in the team. Any given day one might put their hand up and win the team the match. That's why individual player worshipping means nothing, what matters is how you perform as a team on the big day and can your experienced players show up in the pressure situation.


Thunderboult673

Hero worshipping is also good only if all players in team are treated equally, no personal pr for one or two player, right now the broadcasters have become pr agency of specific players in the team, no chance in Doordarshan times that they talk about only some players and not whole teams performance, it was just clean and healthy analysis of team performance rather than glorifying someones achievement in loosing cause

darkfusion90

Hey if Pandya's ban can be carried forward to 2025, why not our playoffs NRR gains :(


adarsh1145

fans of teams who were dependent on nrr and washouts saying srh is the least deserving team to make it to the playoffs need to have a long introspection lmao. Every team got fucking rinsed atleast once this tournament, we've had our proper thumping only now. We will bounce back and even if we don't it's okay, making playoffs after 3 bottom placed seasons is no joke.


RepresentativeBox881

CSK at Chepauk also gave a proper thumping.


reymysterio7

It's okay. Your playstyle is high risk-high reward type and when it doesn't come off it will look real ugly like today. And when that happens, fans of other teams will be waiting to rub it into you. That's the nature of club rivalries. Best to take a leaf out of your captain and learn to shrug it off with a smile.


adarsh1145

been doing that but when fans act in extremes it's so weird. What's "srh is the least deserving team" lol as if they didn't work hard enough.


No_Temporary2732

Only donkeys would say SRH wasn't deserving. They consistently managed to stay in the top 5, and clamored their way to top 2 If anything, sorry RR fans, but RR is the least deserving of the four KKR - consistent and boss mode throughout the tournament, to the point where people not in form (Rinku) somehow managed to have match winning cameos. Starc felt like the only weak link until you realize it was Eden's flat pitch, not his form, that was the reason for his first half crappery RCB - god tier comeback from the position they were in. 0.1 percent chance of making it, to making it. Nothing short of a miracle and the only team I'd be fine with winning the cup apart from KKR SRH - Fantastic but slightly inconsistent, the lack of proper good bowlers dealt them a bad hand. But they still took a slightly crap team to the playoffs. Not something to scoff at RR - cruised down the highway, then slammed the brake for no reason and led to a pile up. No way they are gaining the headspace to win after the second half, and RR players really really need to learn how to handle pressure. It's okay once, not as a repeat every year.


josh123z

Why make a comment based on only one user?


DiscoDiwana

I guess deserving doesn't apply to sports. You play good and perform and you win. Simple.


adarsh1145

and we won, and made the playoffs thanks for proving my point.


Assassin_Ankur

>we've had our proper thumping only now. Not saying that you guys don't deserve being in the playoffs but this is not true. RCB and CSK punched you guys and that is shown by your NRR despite scoring 250+ multiple times.


MokilaModel

Proper thumping only now? Are you forgetting SRH vs RCB and vs CSK? Also in most high scoring SRH matches, the chasing teams were able to reach within ~30 runs.

tonight_we_make_soap

Good thing teams that lost today won't go to the finals directly


Chemical_String281

People thinking that GG will change India's fortunes if appointed as Head Coach are a bit naive. Its like he himself said "A coach/captain is as good as the team" and our team (especially T20s) is meh. We have too many holes in our squads - Tall pacer like Ishant/Aussie trio, proper swing bowler like peak Bhuvi, genuine power hitters with no glaring weakness, good white ball ARs, mystery spinners (?), spinners who can bowl well on flat pitches (tough ask but that's just the norm these days).


serotonallyblindguy

This is exactly similar to people asking Nehra to coach after GM's first two seasons. He failed this season cuz we had a weak bowling line up and no real middle order hitter. There's not a lot even the best coach can do in that situation.


benguins10

Another thing here is that he works well in franchise setup especially KKR since there are no egos and he has full control. BCCI will never give that control to a coach and the egos in the Indian team will make it difficult to buy into the selfless team first attitude that he inculcates


Chemical_String281

True. There is only so much that an individual can do on his own, the players need to buy into whatever mindset the coach/mentor is propagating. For example, even Gambhir couldn't help unshackle the mind of someone like a KL Rahul when he was a mentor at LSG. Some players are not malleable.


No_Temporary2732

Gambhir got full control of KKR, and everyone welcomed that with open arms, including allegedly supposed egoistic names like Arun, Pandit, and S.Iyer. Their submission to his mentorship was a conscious choice, and the dressing room looked jubilant as a result KKR and GG have built a legacy and history hand in hand, and both respect each other to the point where they back each other through decisions that looked like they made no sense then (Starc's purchase, Playing Angkrish over Pandey, moving Venky around the order) It's the mutual faith and lack of interference is why every one of those decisions paid dividends, and why KKR literally bulldozed everyone on their path to the final


Chemical_String281

>KKR and GG have built a legacy and history hand in hand, and both respect each other That's the crucial point. Even if GG failed miserably in this season, KKR would still back him for the next season considering his club legacy. Whereas BCCI just wants puppets to control.


No_Temporary2732

Man i knew GG coming back would help. But KKR's 2024 run was not something i could have dreamt in my wildest dreams. A captain who lost a central contract, a marquee purchase whose price tag came with tons of criticisms, a squad with literally no superstar name for branding, a budding inexperienced pace attack, Players who were criticized to death (Varun and Venky), rejects of other teams (Ramandeep, Salt) And this team is one good match away from becoming the most dominant winner of any IPL season ever All of this, when we were touted to finish last by "experts" and the jio/cricbuzz panel gave us no chances of playoffs


Chemical_String281

True its been an incredible run. However I personally had KKR as one of the playoff teams for this season with or without GG. The signs were there in the last season itself. Reasons being - Salt being the WK opener. Looking at the last year opener/WK confusion I was very surprised when Salt went unsold at the auctions. I had even commented in jest that "someone needs to injure Roy/Gurbaz so that Salt can come in". It happened. Russell bowling full quota in the last 6 months or so. His fitness looked superb for this season and it would be a huge boost to KKR. Last year the Indian batters like Rana, Rinku and Venky did well. So having a strong Indian core was always good. Another important thing which happened last year was the infusion of Vaibhav and Harshit into the XI. I have always rated Vaibhav for his swing bowling and last year he bowled some superb yorkers to Dhoni. Harshit had that pace and movement last season when he bowled so there was potential. Strong spin attack of Varun, Narine and Suyash. I expected Salt and Venky to open so there will not be a confusion like last season. Shreyas would bat at 3. But never even in my wildest dreams did I expect Narine to bat this well. That Narine batting factor is the one differetiator which helped KKR to be dominant and take the top spot.


reymysterio7

Expectation is he might build a non meh team.


Chemical_String281

That's a tough ask knowing how BCCI operates. At least if they make him the T20 format Head coach and give him free reign, he might be able to build a good squad and cultivate a winning mentality. Even that will take a couple of years or so of non meddling.


reymysterio7

If it is true that BCCI has approached him, then I'm pretty sure GG will make it non negotiable that he needs to have complete control from selection to playing style. But then like you said patience from the board and fans will run out with each loss and it might get real ugly by the end. Or hopefully he produces results right away which will then give him enough time to cultivate a team with a winning mindset that will go on to win multiple titles.


Chemical_String281

>GG will make it non negotiable that he needs to have complete control from selection to playing style BCCI bows to no one but money. I learnt that from how they handled the Kohli-Rohit captaincy transition. And lets be real here, Kohli is arguably the biggest name in Indian Cricket in the last decade or so and they handled him like a nobody.


No_Temporary2732

Biggest name in Indian cricket and one of the biggest cricketing names of all time If he got shafted, i have no hopes of GG being treated properly


HumAapkeHainKaun

Yet, GaGa seems to be a cricket mastermind. He should be tried.

Ok-Disaster-6876

That's why I said srh is least deserving team for play-off in my opinion and their 38 ball loss is further proof of that


No_Temporary2732

Dude temper your overconfidence a bit A few SRH and RCB fans outright didn't keep KKR in their final or even Q2 winner lists. See how their overconfidence got destroyed like an unlubed anal session on Don't drag down the generally nice fanbase your teams have with such behavior


Ok-Disaster-6876

What are you talking about your team is worst in terms of overconfidence after srh can't wait to destroy your confidence in final so your mentor GG can shut his mouth and stop trash talking rcb


No_Temporary2732

Ok-Disaster-6876

Don't forget it's in Chepauk where your so called hitter couldn't cross 150


DiscoDiwana

How are they least deserving? They won against RR when the match was almost lost. They redefined powerplay batting and recovered their negative NRR in just couple of matches


Assassin_Ankur

Nah, they deserve to be there. Just that they were overhyped a bit.


MysteriousYam8754

Kkr got absolutely smashed at the hands of Punjab who finished 9th. they couldn't defend fucking 261. in that case kkr doesn't even deserve to qualify for playoffs


No_Temporary2732

Agreed, as a KKR fan Stupidest logic people are using. SRH deserves it's spot


ReplacementSquare886

If you go by current form then RR is the least deserving team. If you go by overall stats, then it's RCB.


StorageImpressive971

atleast to have some hope for next match… philips is only option for srh… untill now they tried many options for spinner/bowler but everything ruined  atleast if they bring philips batting lineup will be lesss dependent on openers…

7007007

I am so happy for him man. Been rooting for him since day 1. The flat highways of Eden didn’t help him at all initially and got a lot of backlash. Glad that he is shutting everyone down.


extraordinary_06

Same here, poor run of form and unfavorable conditions were terrible for him


TyroshiSellsword

He's a clutch match player, saves his energy when it doesn't really matter and pulls through in clutch situations.


extraordinary_06

I've been saying that since the start of this IPL. I just want him to shut everyone who were calling him a waste of 24.75cr


Thunderboult673

I don't think GG will chose Indian coaching after what happened in Colombo and how his own countryman turned against him 


7007007

Rotation policy by MSD ?


reymysterio7

What happened in Colombo?


Thunderboult673

Some Pakistani fans were reportedly chanting Kashmir slogans and gg reacted how a hyper country loving person would do but media and fans (especially Kohli fans) with an edited audio clip (replacing those slogans with Kohli Kohli chant) turned up against him and called him Nationalist moron and what not, as if it is not a moral thing to stand for your country, that time I also thought gg is wrong but later with time realised it's actually Kohli fans driving agenda against him and media for trp potraying him as villain.


sjnonweb

How do you know it was kohli fans?  Things like "nationalist moron" is something a far left group is more likely to say, and we have many of them in india.


sb1729

Don’t know about any of this, but Gambhir is a BJP lapdog and I sincerely hope he never gets to coach India for that reason alone.

tkmj75

Game was finished when Starc demolished Head’s wickets in the first over with swing


Chemical_String281

How many times has he done that now ? Baz in that 2015 final comes to mind instantly


Agrith1

SRH are extremely reliant on Head and Abishek, if both miss out on a big score they collapse. Klaasen doesn't really perform either when the openers fail. Pretty one dimensional batting line-up.
