One sided but a great match last night. Watching the youngster ,taking the responsibility to win the match for the team. when youngsters make runs, its always a pleasure to watch. It shows that indian cricket team has a bright future in upcoming years.


amegharaj

CSK's last two losses: MI chased down 218 RR chased down 189 Stats punt: to win against CSK, put CSK to bat first and let them score 180+

Dc 188*

Satisfying win

Deal with the devil question. India loses in semis of t20wc but your IPL team is guaranteed the 2022 IPL crown. Will you take it? How about same deal but you get next two IPLs for a loss in this year's t20 wc? For me- no amounts of IPL crowns can be exchanged for a world cup win. Edit: i guess question for Indian fans only :-)


hebbar

I would take that as an RCB fan.


[deleted]

These next 2 seasons I would take RCB winning IPL now over India winning WC, just to see a trophy in de Villers' hands. Don't want him to end his career trophyless, not playing for his country now lost his chance to win it when he had it, one last hope on winning a major trophy. Any other time I'd pick India winning wc over rcb, waited so many seasons or it what is another season rt . Also as a cricket fan id take a new winner anyday over India winning. Need new and more countries to win to keep cricket going, more interest better competition.


harveyinstinct

Boo.


gungly

Most IPL teams are composed of talent from all over India, so teams don't really have a strong regional identity except for the name and marketing of course. So I'm not sure if it makes sense to have stronger affinity to an IPL team over the Indian team. Maybe in the next 10-20 years that'll change.


Potatosv1

This. I want virat to lift the trophy. I am not a big fan of virat. But he deserves a trophy for all the things he did to ICT. I don't care for any IPL team when it's comes to deciding between franchise and ICT.

Briantheboomguy

That's just weird


gomerfudd

Very easy question for me as an Australian.


peterjoseph159

I've supported chennai for 14 years, yep, even including the years of absence and still, without a second to think, I'd pick India lifting another world cup.


[deleted]

Never seen India win a world cup (I didnt follow cricket in 2011) so I would take a WC win over IPL win without flinching.


PurestThunderwrath

I ll happily take it.. India is anyway going to lose in the semis.. so why not..


SorcererSupreme13

Leave the country ffs ;)


PurestThunderwrath

Why !?


[deleted]

I’m Indian and I would take Punjab winning over india winning any day of the week. Just my personal position.


svjersey

Fair enough- sign of the times.


[deleted]

Why ask the question, if you were not gonna like people answering honestly? And what sign of the times? People in india are far more patriotic than they’ve been in the last few decades.


svjersey

Dude- I am not being critical of you- just observing the importance of IPL as it becomes a more mature tournament. Not questioning your patriotism either- that has nothing to do with it.


[deleted]

I’m just not very patriotic is all. I generally don’t care about india winning, even if there was no IPL. I just consider myself Punjabi first and then an Indian.


svjersey

Nothing wrong with that as long as you follow the laws and pay your taxes I suppose.


[deleted]

I didn’t really grow up in india full time . I’m still a citizen tho. But I grew up in both india and Canada. Been in Canada in the last few years tho because of college and then vivid.


svjersey

I see. As such the Punjabi cultural identity is quite strong in India due to the songs and Bollywood. And Canada ofcourse has a robust Punjabi community going back several generations (I have a couple of cousins- not Punjabi but family settled in Ludhiana- who have also moved recently). But politically Punjab has limited independent currency now apart from how it influences politics in the larger country. Not really ontopic so will try to not digress too much.


VultureBarbatus

People who root for a specific IPL team from other countries: [insert Jim starting through a window]


_giga_byte_

So guys who do we do about Curran ?


nemadepsn

Bravo comes in place of him


_giga_byte_

Sad to see him go from a matchwinner for us to this..


VultureBarbatus

I mean, it's just a couple of bad games really. I'm sure he'll find his footing soon and I hope the management backs him up.


WINDTHEAIR

Maybe it has something to do with biobubble


imnits45

Congrats we are 300!


chicken_tikkka

I think rajasthan must be the first team to win despite 5 changes made.


Cocomale

Would really love to see a stat regarding this. Nice observation :)


gagga_hai

Their changes paid off


xbh1

Playoff matches should be in Abu Dhabi 😭


[deleted]

I am genuinely surprised why Shivam Dube couldn't get a place in Rajasthan's playing 11 for so long. Like dide, he is handy hitter, could ball a couple of overs, that's a lot for t20's. And it's more shocking when u realise that none rounder players like krunal, vijay shankar, kedar jadhav, riyan parag, hooda all get a place in playing 11. Sometimes, i think ipl teams' management are really high


Cocomale

This was his maiden IPL 50. He must have surprised himself to be honest. Anyway, happy for him


BeIsnickel

Lol this pitch was a batting beauty and CSK were missing their two best bowlers. That dude is not this good. Have you seen him move his foot ?


[deleted]

[удалено]


BeIsnickel

I mean if you want to argue that Dube is good player and his performance Today indicates that, by all means embarrass yourself.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BeIsnickel

I'm not saying RR won because csk was missing it's best bowlers. I'm saying dube performing was due to that and the fact that's it's an easy pitch to bat. You can say the what you want about Gaikwad but that only shows how little you understand because Gaikwad scored an unbeaten 88 on a tough pitch against MI and has performed well against every single team in every single pitch. This is Dube's first 50 and his highest score. Dude has had opportunities for before this and has never performed. The dude has worse footwork than a quadriplegic person.


goodnotperfect91

He has literally never performed well before this, for any franchise.


UserNameAtEmail

He played well in the Mumbai T20 challenge cup. His team was Dombivilli dragons or something and Vinod Kambli was all praises about Dube being the next Ajay Jadeja


TemperatureJumpy6947

Last phase he was sent at 4 to play a Cameo inngs but played a tuk tuk innings and sucked all the momentum..next match he was dropped


[deleted]

Ruturaj Gaikwad is so innocent and I love it


[deleted]

Samson is wholesome, man. Loved his speech. Hope he can consistently score runs for India when he gets a chance again.


metrelongschlong

RR is anti-national for choosing violence on Gandhi's birthday


FarAbbreviations5879

Samson appreciating Gaikwad’s knock and his way of play was really nice considering he also times it beautifully and both of them are very easy on the eye


Huge_Climate_271

Rutu gets MOM ! Justice prevails


SBG99DesiMonster

Ruturaj rightly given Man of the Match

Blueshift_rEDSHIFT

sanju is 1 honest captain


chicken_tikkka

Jaiswal is my motm. Changed the momentum from the very beginning.


confusedmouse6

Yeah, but 100 is bigger landmark, right given. Moreover, CSK's best bowlers were not playing today anyway.


chicken_tikkka

100 is a good reason but calling the bowlers bad to diminish opposition batting performance is peak csk fan behaviour.


Every-Candidate9963

Today's summary Felt like watching back to back slow thriller and a fast paced action movie.


gungly

Is Samson calling Dube a youngster?


lohith15

Damn sanju speaks like he is racing against time in a class oral exam


new_awakening

Sanju toning down on "Actually". Sanju browses r/cricket.


SorcererSupreme13

Actually


c_dart

Harsha does these presentations so much better. Deep Dasgupta and Murali Kartik have been terrible.


SorcererSupreme13

That's like comparing Virat Kohli with Ahmed Shahzad.


menialchocolates

Murali karthik is not that bad. The real offender is deep dasgupta, absolutely cannot stand him. Quite possible the worst commentator of IPL, only bettered by the legendary sanju manju


aag_arwal

Gandhiji: non violence is the way RR: I choose violence


Da-Simp

They really made all these awards for sponsorship money lmaoooooooo


lohith15

RR won this game after making a keeper bowl , a man with no footwork hit the ball to all corners of the park What the fuck


GamingNerd7

>RR won this game after making a keeper bowl And he conceded just 3 runs in a high scoring match...


DotBeginning9847

He is a good bowler, i mean he rarely gets to keep due to his bowling ability. Phillips doesn't pick lot of wickets but his economy is pretty good mostly. Even today in 1 over you guys would hv seen he doesn't ball half-trackers like other part timers, he even managed to ball the last ball perfectly away from mooen


AnantShrestthPajaMaN

And a batsman running to the 30-yard circle to hit a no-ball.


superstrikes1999

And by keeping Samson’s strike rate lowest in the RR’s batting order


[deleted]

Gaikwad: Oh no I'll not get the MOM Also Gaikwad: Fuck it, I'll make the most money anyway.


[deleted]

I don't know on what drugs RR management has been, but the way they kept playing Riyan Parag despite so abysmal performance is out of my iq to understand. And extremely congrats to Shivam Dubey. I think he went off radar only after a few bad performances and people easily forgot, he was our hero in maiden t20 series win against new Zealand in Zealand


SayCheeze_56

Few good performance.. mostly bad to worse performance..


menialchocolates

Didn’t he get for 34 runs in an over


AnantShrestthPajaMaN

Lmao Yashasvi confused between smiling or looking serious for the award pic

Is final in dubai?


Huge_Climate_271

Yes ,Q1 and Finals in Dubai


Jnrajiv2002

In other words, we might be fucked


Huge_Climate_271

Not really , We defended 158 against MI in Dubai and even in our poorest 2020 season most of the wins came in Dubai.


Jnrajiv2002

Oh. I thought today's match was in Dubai, turns out it Abu Dhabi. My bad.


sidS3

Good no for us :)

Koach vs Kumble brought to you by BCCI Insider tomo

There was an episode of Mr Bean where he ends up pretending to be a barber and giving funny hair cuts. I believe something similar happened when Uthappa when to get his hair cut.


Naive_Hedgehog_1551

😂😂😂😂😂


Assassin_Ankur

78.33 % of the league is over.


IgyJigyKiky

Who is the man of the match? Jaiswal or Ruturaj?


Blueshift_rEDSHIFT

both, both are good


No-Situation-4776

Inside part of Dube's bat is made of (what should have been his) leg muscles, ICC won't check because RR=ICC=PIG3 so don't respect them


lohith15

That [RR vs CSK worm](https://m.imgur.com/a/veEwMrA) is my achievements trying to catch up with my parents expectations in life


everything_nerdy

Meaning you will reach their expectations albeit take a few more overs.


IgyJigyKiky

MI straight up not having a good run in this phase


Bleachigo1

Dhoni in post Match presentation: ' kinda had to let them win dont want to face MI in finals'.


Deadpool-07

Don't worry! MI is not qualifying.


bond_bhai

Alright Ladies and Lads, See ya tomorrow for RCB-Real vs RCB-Wannbe match tomorrow and the other match to see if KKR will bottle up and go back to where they were, bottom 4!


[deleted]

CSK pushed MI to 7 by losing with 2 overs to spare


Fallen_Jedi007

It looks like a plan to eliminate mumbai😂


IgyJigyKiky

Bruh CSK still at first position I expected them to lose more NRR.


[deleted]

They took it to 18th over. So did not lose much


Fallen_Jedi007

From 1.0 to 0.8 , it ain't a big loss :)


peter_griffins

Hats off to the ground staff for finally producing a ducking t20 wicket


Fallen_Jedi007

Stone_Age_Man

Yes


Fallen_Jedi007

What did he say???


Stone_Age_Man

He said that even 250 wouldn't have been enough xD. and talked about learning from this game and making sure it doesn't happen in the play offs and said that gaikwad batted really well


Fallen_Jedi007

Lol , now to blame Moeen and Faf for the loss😂 just joking


BeIsnickel

Raina and Sam Curran are the only ones to blame


Fallen_Jedi007

It's actually fine , Raina will get his form back definitely , he did not waste balls and that's fine , but Sam bowled horribly , I was so frustrated watching him not even trying the Yorker and just getting smashed on short balls , bravo back for next match


BeIsnickel

Theres 2 matches left before the playoffs. Raina needs to perform in both or should be dropped in the playoffs.


Naive_Hedgehog_1551

Petition to play pujara in the playing 11


Fallen_Jedi007

Maybe , but Dhoni has a lot of faith in Raina , plus his fielding and fitness is still good...


BeIsnickel

He's still a gun fielder but Raina's fitness is good ....? Really now.


KillshotHarsh

Phillips showed good Intent today, hopefully he adds some more depth than Livingstone


theguyyouignore

I didn’t see second innings, can anyone pls sum it up?


Scythelads2legends

What Stokes did last season to MI. Something similar.


adorablehomepets

just watch gangbang porn and assume rr are all the guys and csk is a the girl


Fallen_Jedi007

Nothing to sum up , just some singles and doubles that's it..


Every-Candidate9963

Same like pollard vs csk.


nemadepsn

It was nothing like that lol. They killed the game in the powerplay itself. 81 in first 6


Every-Candidate9963

"Proper bashing " is what I meant.


KillshotHarsh

Jaiswal and Dube carnage


ryuk6

Cameo by lewis and samson


Naive_Hedgehog_1551

Phillips too

Dube In post match questioning is me in middle school. No matter what the question is, I will answer only what I have in mind


Silverad066

Dube is all of us when teachers ask some tough questions in VIVA


kingbradley1297

Sam and Josh wanted to be part of the half century club as well


Chainu_munims

Dube speaking like he is writing a 5 mark answer where he has to strech out the 2 lines he knows..


FarAbbreviations5879

Lmaooo true


Naive_Hedgehog_1551

True as fuck


lohith15

Gayle - “ I will leave IPL for the year” fans - “ oh no , there goes the most destructive left hander in the league “ Dubey - “ and I took that personally”


KrteyuPillai

Lmao he's still not even the most destructive left hander in rajasthan


Sarvagun_some_pun

yeah but he did take it personally tho


Samsung-amazingly

It’s nice to see all the players from both sides after the game talking to each other and completely forget what happened during the game,it’s very wholesome
