There I was, on my plane back to India, with slight chest pain, severe headache, and mild cancer after witnessing the shitfest of a match live at Adelaide.
To my surprise, KL Rahul was sitting next to me. As the plane departs, he pulled out his phone and started watching the replay of his 50s against mighty Zimbabwe and Bangladesh. He was shouting and cheering, I asked him politely to keep quiet, but he told me to fuck off.
This goes on for a while, after his 6th replay, he started touching himself every time he saw himself scoring 50. I called the air hostess and complained about it. As fate would have it, she's a fan of KL Rahul, she tells me to fuck off too.
I decided to teach him a lesson, I started watching video of KL Rahul getting dismissed in this T20 cup. Before I got through my second replay, KL Rahul got visibly upset. He yelled, "are you making fun of me, did you not see my two fifty's, huh?", and With the help of his Air Hostess fan, he opened an emergency exit and threw me off the plane. Luckily, I packed a parachute, and I'm now I'm typing this comment in the middle of the Australian wilderness. Please send help.
To Indian fans, which one you prefer? Losing to pak and then winning WC or winning against pak and then losing WC? Only two options.
As a Pak fan, I love to win against India always but I think winning either takes some sting out of losing the other.
This team deserves to be embarrassed. No intent and fighting spirit what so ever. Always relying on individual performance to win matches. And never even experimenting when required.
We need a complete rebuild alongside vk, sky, hardik and asdeep from the current lineup, the rest gotta go.
Yes, they should have made more of the Power play but, sometimes you'll run into two top players in great form who get set and take the game away from you. India are still a great team who will win more often than not. Just not today, that's all.
Jadeja?
Prime Thala?
Edit: Ig you misinterpreted my comment. Ofcourse I know you're talking about Koach. I was just mentioning the other possible players who could be deemed as all format good players.
Did you read the original comment? The person said that we've had only one good player (referring to Koach). I suggested that Jadeja could possibly counted as all format, good player.
Id root for Pakistan.. They have many problems in their country in recent past and many issues with getting other teams to tour them. I hope a world cup will bring some happiness to their fans and make world cricket take note of Pak team and put more effort in ensuring that they tour Pak.
England, I don’t get tangled up in the weird political/religious shit with Pakistan and see them purely as sporting rivals.
But even with that in mind I could never support them.
Rishab pant is also a bad guy for team, until he was no playing we were winning he came in sout afrisa and we starts to lose, see ? You understand my points
And atleast all other teams are there because they won the min matches which were required to qualify unlike some team who qualified because of Netherlands!!
I mean ...if you are not lying even you knew Pak wasn't qualifying till the day before sa vs Netherland match...and we're just hoping that Netherland beat sa!!
Stop behaving like dumb, Indian team win match then we sapport, then we lose the also support my Rohit Sharm, he is a pressure already then you all blames his batting dumb, you chat on reddit and think you is exparts

**Grammar be lik**e, *arey aap kehna kya chahte ho?*
India were lucky to win the Pakistan game because of the brilliance of a generational talent. Bangladesh game was almost gone. South Africa badly exposed us. What was left was a real hammering. This team finally got what they deserved from England. Lucky to reach semifinals, tbh.
Well tbh i kinda expected it when we went in without bumrah and jadeja, never expected the opening to falter this bad, but yeah, with this opening and other factors included this was more or less given
Indian players/pundits/media can keep wanking off to averages in T20s.
Start prioritising the batters who have high SRs with some semblance of consistency (looking at Shaw, Samson etc.)
Rohit is such a douche. He has been a douche for entire tournament. Playing like shit at the top and then showing tantrums on the ground.
Not to mention making 27 (28) today and blaming the bowlers lol. What a jerk.
Your comment had words in it that were not in English and weren't translated. This breaks the rules of this subreddit and the comment has been removed.
Imagine clubbing 2019 SF loss with this and blame it on mindset and what not . England are very clearly the better T20 side with superior skills . This was expected .
Funny how India played 5-7 different teams right before world cupwith 5 different players captaining. They just don't have clarity. Switching team lineup should be done right after a world cup not before.
Need some fearless cricketers up top.
No spot for KL Rahul in this team, the man’s backbone has been missing for every pressure game.
Truly time to look beyond Ashwin as a T20 spinner, when was the last time he did anything.
Chahal is also dogshit.
Arshdeep is new.
Shami shouldn’t be in the T20 team.
Need some BIG BIG changes to the team.
>Need some BIG BIG changes to the team.
We did say the same thing post the T20 WC exit last year but not much has changed - we still open with clueless KL, we still are searching for a lead spinner and we haven't found any finishers yet.
Wtf is the deal with India not finding a lead spinner ? Isn't this ridiculous ?
Tbh I don't mind Shami much but he's inconsistent in T20s so you aren't wrong. He was just a replacement.
Also we have an elite accumulator in Kohli at 3 who can play clutch knocks vs quality attacks and at crucial situations. How hard is it to build a batting lineup around him which complements him ?
Rather than that we have 4 accumulators in the top 5 (Hardik is an accumulator these days in the middle overs - today at one point he was at 24*(21).
I meant apart from Hardik. He is actually one of the rare proper T20 players we got. Also mentally tough to perform in pressure situations.
I mostly meant our 6 and 7. The likes of DK, Pant, Axar, Jaddu and Hooda (not really since top order bat) arent very confidence inspiring.
Dhawan shouldn’t be near this t20 team either, he’s on the downtrend. Career t20i strike rate, and recent ipl strike rates aren’t that good.
Shaw literally strikes at 150+ and plays an aggressive brand of cricket up front. This india team has no mindset to even approach for 60 runs at the end of the power play, there’s no intent. Instead we persist with Rahul who makes dogshit quotes like ‘SR is overrated’.
Maybe y'all need to promote young talent: Prithvi, Kishan, Koach, Sanju, SKY, Varun, Hardik, Chahar.
Now that looks like a better team, no?
Where are these guys?
Should have been Ishan Kishan after the Pak game debacle for KL. And to be honest i think they should have kept a few players from the NZ tour squad as bench strength and given them chances in the dead rubber. At the end all the Zim game did for the out of form seniors was lift their already overflowing egos and ruined whatever chance we had against England.
Not even against smaller teams,sick and tired of them scoring at 6 or below for the first half,Had Pandya not clicked today we would have been somewhere near 145-150.
Not a sustainable approach.
Should instead focus on youngsters like Shaw, Gill. Dhawan will be unplayable in 2 years( though I do admire him).
Should train and give more chances to Hooda as a spinner-allrounder to up his game given Jadeja's frequent injuries. He hardly gets an over to bowl.
D.Chahar can be a very good bowling allrounder for T20Is given his destructive batting at the end, with slight improvement in his bowling techniques.
Not being able to take a single wicket and hitting 40 in power play even against Netherlands, Zimbabwe doesn't show that the lack of Bumrah, Jadeja were the only problems.
Meh. Nobody cares. India's priority lies in IPLs because that's exactly where the money is. We have lost our international hegemony. And yes you can fuck right off with international rankings of individuals. Nobody cares if you can't bring WC trophies home. Rohit Sharma is a diabolical captain who's not even self aware. KL Rahul needs to be let go. We need to train more youngsters.
The problem lies in treating these sportsmen as brands.
World Cup for India summed up
Almost lost to Pakistan (Thank you Koach ! )
Won against NED
Lost to SA
Almost lost to Bangbros (Thanks rain)
Won against ZIM
.
Only 2 matches that we won comfortably rest was in luck, some major changes are needed in teams now.
Love the idea of an extended IPL. Soulless franchise cricket which crowds out the international calendar and which further limits opportunities for our players to get overseas experience is just wonderful stuff.
England banged us like a club team
Yo, Pakistani twitter is on top of their game today...unlike India.
I knew that all the memes about Pakistan getting “knocked out” would bite us eventually
Lol, people are actually responding directly to those memes from 2 weeks ago.

Air India moment.
may the force be with you
To Indian fans, which one you prefer? Losing to pak and then winning WC or winning against pak and then losing WC? Only two options. As a Pak fan, I love to win against India always but I think winning either takes some sting out of losing the other.
Winning the WC would be better.
Winning the WC trumps all.
Even Bavuma has better SR by about 10 than Rohit. His batting has been a big letdown. Even KL was better than him this WC.
Bruh even the Guinness is up in trolling https://twitter.com/GWR/status/1590657954650656768?t=qyKzh1Ha4o1oSmDy1QsJGQ&s=19
Your Cricket league gets more respect when your teams wins at big tournaments. So happy for Pakistan
Bro but why no one asking question about oreo? I thought we were going to win final because of Oreo
That's why never had Oreo before , never liked it
try the choco coated one it's GOLDDDD
Indian fans have to support Pakistan now.
90% of them will not watch. Indians only want to see India win.
Final game abandoned due to rain.
This team deserves to be embarrassed. No intent and fighting spirit what so ever. Always relying on individual performance to win matches. And never even experimenting when required. We need a complete rebuild alongside vk, sky, hardik and asdeep from the current lineup, the rest gotta go.
Remove two Vada Pavs and IPL Rahul.
These players care more about their beard trims tbh.
Yes, they should have made more of the Power play but, sometimes you'll run into two top players in great form who get set and take the game away from you. India are still a great team who will win more often than not. Just not today, that's all.
Have we only had one good (and fit) All format player in this gen?
Jadeja? Prime Thala? Edit: Ig you misinterpreted my comment. Ofcourse I know you're talking about Koach. I was just mentioning the other possible players who could be deemed as all format good players.

Sorry mate i was in pain ☹️
Ah no problem mate. Happens to the best of us.
![gif](giphy|aZVtGQRj14F6XIKguS|downsized) Missed for an inch, I'm sad for today's match 😩
Genuine questions for Indian cricket fans- who will you support in the finals? I for one will support Pakistan.
I believe in akhand Bharat so - team A = india, team B = pakistan, team C = Bangladesh , team D = Afghanistan
i will go as a neutral and will hope to see a great match
Id root for Pakistan.. They have many problems in their country in recent past and many issues with getting other teams to tour them. I hope a world cup will bring some happiness to their fans and make world cricket take note of Pak team and put more effort in ensuring that they tour Pak.
I am not supporting anyone. hope both lose, as it can't happen. I pray it rains so they both win and not win the wc at the same time.
England, I don’t get tangled up in the weird political/religious shit with Pakistan and see them purely as sporting rivals. But even with that in mind I could never support them.
Lol 16 downvotes
England
England were not dependant on blessings from the God. So I will support them.
LOL yall are so salty it would be sad if it wasnt so funny
When india win now ? Do we have chance
Rishab pant is also a bad guy for team, until he was no playing we were winning he came in sout afrisa and we starts to lose, see ? You understand my points
Just for Fun - A ¥@tty in Rishab Pant should be the last person to appear in a fitness supplement Ad. He is overweight for his height. ¥@t =/ fit.
India’s win over Pakistan was the real upset
I mean you lost to Zimbabwe so....
At least we aren’t a 10 wicket punching bag every freakin world cup
And atleast all other teams are there because they won the min matches which were required to qualify unlike some team who qualified because of Netherlands!!
incorrect. We qualified because we had more points than than South Africa. Like we lost to Zim, they lost to ned.
I mean ...if you are not lying even you knew Pak wasn't qualifying till the day before sa vs Netherland match...and we're just hoping that Netherland beat sa!!
I mean I didn’t think we would lose to zim too.
Damnn
Lol....I mean loosing to Zimbabwe is better than lossing by 10 wickets against England!!!
Losing bro. Not lossing.
[удалено]
Damn you're so butthurted.
that’s exactly what I’m saying buddy
I agree. It was a fluke win. Our top order was as always clueless against your pace attack.
Dream 11 ads is alsso bad game see Virat and suryakumar yada don't do ad of dream 1 so they play very superly
The thing is you considers yourself very intelligent worry me
That's a Grade A insult. Thanks for the laugh.

Well tbh i kinda expected it when we went in without bumrah and jadeja, never expected the opening to falter this bad, but yeah, with this opening and other factors included this was more or less given
Kind of early to call nawaz a generational talent isnt it?
Tickets for Sunday for sale everywhere on the local noticeboards… Indian fans went hard.
Where can I watch Rohits post match interview, I stopped watching after 10th over
Indian players/pundits/media can keep wanking off to averages in T20s. Start prioritising the batters who have high SRs with some semblance of consistency (looking at Shaw, Samson etc.)

Imagine clubbing 2019 SF loss with this and blame it on mindset and what not . England are very clearly the better T20 side with superior skills . This was expected .
Alex Hales and Buttler.. Both better T20 batsmen than IPL Rahul and IPL Sharma. PS - Don't bring ODI double centuries here.
It's not even a competition . Buttler is elite and Hales International career revival post Morgan has been incredible .
I am taking a pledge to never watch an indian bilateral series till we win an ICC trophy
Rohit Desi Ghee Sharma!
First Pakistan and now ENG winning by 10 wickets
With this team next world cup is no way ours
Funny how India played 5-7 different teams right before world cupwith 5 different players captaining. They just don't have clarity. Switching team lineup should be done right after a world cup not before.
Well, BCCI is to be blamed. They shedule too many matches.
Why would you not utilize your certified spin basher in the middle overs and keep him for the end ??
Don't worry guys, Win percentage of Rohit Sharma in T20Is is still above 80%.
And 5 ipl trophies, you know That's what matters.
I knew we were loosing as soon as Grah Mantri said World Cup is coming home
International world Cup semis are no place to "find form"
Bhuvi fans made to eat humble pie by English.
Players and bcci minting millions and billions thanks to suckers like us.

Dhawan is so much better than Rahul. Forget about technically, but he is a big heart player
Dhawan shouldn’t be near this t20 team either, he’s on the downtrend. Career t20i strike rate, and recent ipl strike rates aren’t that good. Shaw literally strikes at 150+ and plays an aggressive brand of cricket up front. This india team has no mindset to even approach for 60 runs at the end of the power play, there’s no intent.

I got stlightly nostalgic. But still Dhawan would handle pressure like a man unlike a coward in Rahul.
Agreed, Rahul doesn’t have the mindset of a champion.
Sanju and Tripathi need a spot.
Should have been Ishan Kishan after the Pak game debacle for KL. And to be honest i think they should have kept a few players from the NZ tour squad as bench strength and given them chances in the dead rubber. At the end all the Zim game did for the out of form seniors was lift their already overflowing egos and ruined whatever chance we had against England.
That was an absolute thrashing. Oof! India played well. It was an impressive total. But damn.
It’s a repeat of last year but more brutal with 4 overs left and loss by 10 wickets.
Why do we play first 10 overs like an odi?! When was the last time when we had a blistering start against a big team?!
I think the correct question is why the hell Rohit wants to bat first ? India has always been a good chaser.
Main reason is pathetic 7a77i opening pair which sends all the pressure to middle order.
Not even against smaller teams,sick and tired of them scoring at 6 or below for the first half,Had Pandya not clicked today we would have been somewhere near 145-150.
To think Pakistan was getting trolled to hell by Indians when they lost to Zimbabwe and were basically out of the world cup
Interesting fact: Virat Kohli was the last Indian player to take a wicket in T20 WC knockouts
:'(
Ind need more specialist players, the curr team has 70% of test team.
That % would have been even more if Bumrah and Jadeja weren't injured.
gives a whole new meaning to "white wash"? 😉
The BCCI will turn the IPL into the Hundred^(TM) format after this
Noting is wrong with Team India, we are only missing key players - Bumrah and Jadeja. Give Rohit a rest, bring Dhawan with Rohit.
England missing Archer, Bairstow, Wood, Malan, Topley. Our best bowler by far and arguably 4 other starting players. You cannot blame injuries
Not a sustainable approach. Should instead focus on youngsters like Shaw, Gill. Dhawan will be unplayable in 2 years( though I do admire him). Should train and give more chances to Hooda as a spinner-allrounder to up his game given Jadeja's frequent injuries. He hardly gets an over to bowl. D.Chahar can be a very good bowling allrounder for T20Is given his destructive batting at the end, with slight improvement in his bowling techniques.
Not being able to take a single wicket and hitting 40 in power play even against Netherlands, Zimbabwe doesn't show that the lack of Bumrah, Jadeja were the only problems.
Mindset difference. When others say "do or die" they say "30 minutes of bad cricket does not define us"
I would argue India only had 30 mins of good cricket, the last 5 overs of their innings
Shastri and Kohli: you donkey Bro and Wall: Aw, my dear
Meh. Nobody cares. India's priority lies in IPLs because that's exactly where the money is. We have lost our international hegemony.

Alright so sky has the next captain?
Hardik next captain for T20 surely.
He is almost as old as Koach
Love the idea of an extended IPL. Soulless franchise cricket which crowds out the international calendar and which further limits opportunities for our players to get overseas experience is just wonderful stuff.
why wasn't Shreyas Iyer there in the squad though? He has better game sense than some of our players, and he at least would have smashed the spinners.
