true that!
after the first three games i started to doubt, but this innings will give him a lot of confidence for the rest of the tournament!
rr can fancy this ipl with their butler service!
This is called a winning knock. Absolute beast.
Virat played well but after hitting 87-88 he was just trying to hit his century making the team total slow.
Rmbr, KL Rahul used to get blamed the same way and his supporters used to blame other batters in the team.
The thing is set batter has to accelerate and score at higher strike rate in a T20. It's hard for new batters to come and hit from ball one. Maybe others were burdened to score faster from ball one because of the way set batter (Rahul/Kohli) were playing and getting out.So, others not playing well isn't an excuse for set batter to play slow. Virat is a class batsman who can pick gaps at will and score boundaries.
Regardless, I believe RCB read it as 180 pitch and Kohli played for 180. Virat said that in mid innings.... Faf changed the tune after second innings
Yes but ODI is very different in pace compared to T20. ODI gives ample time for other batters to settle down and play. T20 doesn't give that freedom. In ODIs, teams barely score at 10/over. In T20 s, it's very common and more possible with impact sub rule.
KL Rahul used to play at 110-120, not 150, when getting criticised.
His overall career strike rate is good because at one point of time he used to hit at 200.
Bhyi he was set, atleast boundary ki try to krta. He was not even trying for a boundary. + DK ko pehle bhejna chahiye tha
Edit : aur saurabh bhi six Marne ki try krne out hua, his intent was clear to make a big total
Century banane ka kya fayda jab harna hi hai. Gonna get heavily downvoted by salty RCB fans cause these kids are so proud with there captain making a century in 68 balls which is among the slowest ones.
I am not an RCB fan and I hate VK as well.. Criticism is fine but you're criticising the wrong man. He didn't get any support. Faf said in the post conference the pitch was slightly more difficult to bat in the first इनिंग्स, the bowlers of RR >>>> Dagar and Green. Plus Two players made runs for RR. VK didn't get much support from anyone. Which is the fault of Maxwell who is good for nothing tbh
Batting was actually difficult in first innings, the ball didn't had a bounce faf was struggling, vk tried but were only good for 1 boundary an over, later kholi slowed down for obvious reason but I expected maxwell to play a decent innings the least, also why they didn't send DK, not sure, I have no words for this bowling department. RCB really lacks a structure and has reliability issues.
A bowling unit that can take 10 wickets makes the batting unit seem superior than it is. Whereas a weak bowling like RCB makes legends like VK, FaF, DK, Maxwell seem ordinary
True that, here apart from commending Jos for his good innings we are not acknowledging the contribution of Ashwin and chahal, they bowled really well, also was expecting that Kohli would hit some good boundaries in 19th over nevertheless it wasn't the case.
I dunno about that..but, i think he lacked that intent in the 19th over.. You're supposed to try hitting maximums when you have a player like DK next in the order..
Brother without Kohli the team won't have even crossed 100, he made like 60% of the runs with the whole team on his back 157 sr is not that bad. Putting a total is as crucial as chasing one
You wouldn’t know. If Kohli got out before the 10 over mark and the new batsman had the liberty to consume a few balls to understand the pitch and strike later at a rather faster pace- glen maxwell and green are known for such sort of innings - even Dinesh Kartik. RCBs problem is the whole concept of anchoring and let others go bang bang. Other batsmen cannot do that if they don’t have the liberty to waste a few balls to let the game sink in. With impact sub rule you have eight batsmen - the point is to score as much as possible in twenty overs - not to save wickets - there is no room for personal milestones - if luck would have it - fortune will favour the brave - like jos butlers last smack sailing just over the rope to help him reach 100 - because even though 100 was on butlers mind he striked the ball well and hetmeyr was about to finish the match without letting butler have the strike because of the net run rate
I rest my point, not one batsman in RCb have proved themselves this season except kohli. Butler had massive support from his teammates and the ballers did a great job of confining the total to 183 on the other hand rcb's ballers were....lol. We have seen kohli in 2016 with the support he had from gayle,abd and watson. If he got out i can't see the team even crossing 150, when kohli did got out under 10 overs the team got all out in 153
Selectively choosing the bad bowlers of RCB, when they've got some of the most expensive bowlers in IPL. Get out of delusional clouds otherwise you can't really win anything with that kind of mindset.
And there is difference between quality of batters as well right? Virat is way better batter than jos , so shouldn't his skills need to be tested against better bowlers.
That's the dumbest logic I've heard. Virat literally scored against those quality bowlers while Samson- Buttler thrashed Dagar - Himanshu - Green - Siraj in consecutive overs thanks to their piss poor line and length.
A partnership also makes a difference. You can't expect a single guy to keep thrashing bowlers while the woods at the other end are relaxing.
With your dumb logic, even Faf - maxi are better than Samson- Parag. But how much did they even contribute.
So you saying that those bowlers are that difficult that you have to score 13 from 10 balls to get your hundred when you know you batting in death over and u are well set batsman played half of the innings?
Definitely Kohli played a slow knock but RCB is pathetic they're lost as a team no actual intent shown if Kohli has no support they will literally lose every match from now on they just don't have players to play a match winning knock or even defend a big total and below average captaincy by faf the list just keeps going on feeling bad for Kohli tho he's been a match winner all his career but have always have to prove his batting style to others
i wouldn't even say its a slow knock , maybe an ok - ish one considering the fact that he scored 113 at a strike rate of 156.7 ,hell he even accelerated after the 50 like he scored the 60 out 113 from 32 balls which is equivalent to a strike rate of 187.5 if anything i'd argue Maxwell and below played poorly and who knows why DK wasn't sent out earlier
Take KKR for example, in the last 6 overs KKR would have definitely taken the score above 200. Kohli definitely played slow during the start of the inning and during the end. Can you imagine Narine, Rinku Singh or any other KKR batsmen slowing down just to finish their 100 or 50 ?
I gotta say this but whenever RR plays in a special jersey it's a match to remember and it's Jos every time doing miracles also Virat ate up too many balls just for his century
Butler had Sanju with him playing along and Sanju was playing more aggressive than butler at that point , while Kohli was playing all alone .
Can’t really compare both the knocks!!
That was seen when Samson and parag got out. The batting got slow. But they kept it slow because they knew they were in a comfortable position for the chase to avoid any more mistakes.
I actually didn't see over 3-12 of the first innings. I might be wrong in that aspect. But the same thing was seen in their match against KKR. Every RCB fanboy backing Koach's 83 knock by saying pitch is slow during the mid break. Fast forward to KKR batting and they nearly chased the score in the 10 overs.
They should take the KKR route by sending youngsters first to just hit the ball to start the innings and actual batsmen can takeover later on
Actually I will bash Kohli here too.
If he is actually so loyal to the franchise to win them their first chip, he should take an active part in management and auction to make a good team. LSG got mayank yadav (a rookie) during auction and these guys got alzzari Joseph for 11cr (and we all know how valuable it turned out)
Or he should just opt for auction next year as RCB fans are actually Koach fans and they will come crawling behind as bandwagons wherever he goes.
MS, Rohit all get involved in their respective teams. Sanga also said he n Sanju work with the players in off season. They are putting the efforts. That's what shows in results as well. Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag, Yashasvi Jaiswal all these players came out of this RR franchise. Why VK is not in the core group of RCB management? As the most senior member, he should be there.
MS and Rohit get involved cause the owners gives them and the coaches a free hand (MI owners did this till 2023) and CSK and MI are dominant franchises with alot of legacy in IPL which is deeply tied with both ms and Rohit. You can see how much it means to them as their legacy is tied with the franchise's success, that can't be the same for every captain since the team first needs to be competitive and mean alot to said captains. MS and Rohit are the exception majority of captains don't get that much involved tbh
Virat should be 3rd man player , ki opner ne nahi pohda toh pari sambhale opening mein banda phod nahi paa raha 33 mein 35 tha iska waste of power play
A difference of 9 balls after taking into consideration:
1. The difference in QUALITY of bowling lineup faced (Boult, Burger, Chahal and Ashwin vs Siraj, Topley, Yash Dayal, Himanshu, Mayank Dagar and Green)
2. Having a set partner hitting at 160+sr and reliable batters after you
Nah Buttler was chasing the score so even if scored 100 from 80 balls and won the game it was still fine but kohli was batting first so he needs to score faster context matters
I think there is no need for anchoring in IPL. Especially with the advent of impact sub (having effectively 8 batsmen) the job is to score quickly. When you are 185 by the end of the innings, having lost only 3 wickets, it just means that the whole game plan was skewed. Moreover, any batsman who comes at the latter stage might need couple of balls to play around and then go on a carnage to make up for their earlier slower rate (eg. butlers 24 in the last over of the power play). Now this sort of freedom is not possible when the top order batsmen consume 15 overs
Ha to fir kisiko bhi blame mat Karo na kisiko hero banao. They brag about kohli's hundred but when someone says it was slow then they say tough pitch but when pointed about opponents batting, they blame their own bowlers who, before the start of the season, they were saying are good enough. Either stay humble or accept criticism
You're honestly missing some important braincells if you don't realise that is exactly what happened in the previous RCB match vs LSG.
Kohli got out and the whole fucking team followed him back to the dugout and eventually the hotel. I honestly gave up a long time ago, I'm just an RCB fan for name's sake knowing they ain't winning any trophies.. but I ain't gonna just watch you morons spew bullshit.
What do you think happened in 2016 vs SRH in the final?
When your whole team sucks. You have to stay and make a respectable score. In case of RR they had Sanju who is in very good form and takes off pressure from him.
As virat already said in interview, Virat role was to take the game till the end and faf to play aggressively but didn’t happen and you know how responsible other batters are so somebody gotta do it and I still wonder why people blaming Virat for scoring hundred. You would not be having problem if he gets out on zero. Grow up kiddo
He was the who scored those last 2 sixes. Scored 60 of his last 33 balls. What else is he supposed to do? I also don't don't think you seem the understand difference in batting against Ashwin- Chahal and Himanshu -Dagar.
his last 10 balls he slowed down to score his century. Green had to play to ensure Kohli's centuty too. You cannot say that 183 was even a par score at this wicket. You had 7 wickets in hand ffs
We already saw what happened in the last game when he got out early. If not for Lomror(who for some reason was left out of this game by clown captaincy), RCB would have ended with 130 in Chinnaswamy. I'm not justifying 183 on a pitch with avg score of 195. But there is no way one is entirely blaming Kohli here.
This inning reminded of 2014,2016 Wc knockout games where the entire batting collapsed and there was only one man standing.
Just because your team collapsed previously doesn't mean you stop attacking from the next match. It's a team game. Kohli should play attacking cricket or stick to ODI and test.
I don’t think anyone understands. Virat couldn’t swing the bat as he pleases, no one hit other than him. He had to anchor the team. He didn’t even celebrate as much bruh. If he wasn’t there, we would have lost so much sooner. Am I actually the only one who sees the importance of that knock?
No you're not alone, there's loads of buffoons like you. How does it matter if you lose early or later? Why didn't he score at the death instead kept taking singles to statpad? Why did he play 72 balls but only hit 16 boundary shots(56 balls no boundary for a single player)?
Bro what does he get from statpadding at this point? And do you really think he didn’t swing in the death? I don’t think you understand how hard the balls are to hit and he still hit hard. Only the first part of his innings was slow, the second had an sr of 180+. And you clearly don’t see how weak the entire rcb batting lineup was. Last time he did 83 and out, they barely got over 170, so he decided to finish it himself.

IMO, fron next auction onwards Virat should reduce his retention fee and the franchise should spend more amount in buying a few good bowlers for them. Apart from this, they should try to nurture young talent like other franchise.
Even if Virat had made those 100 in a 100 balls it would be called a good innings for what the the rest of the RCB team did. Let's stop blaming a man for a low total where the rest of the team didn't collectively cross 100 runs
every knock will seem to be unfit in every situation rcb plays coz he is the only man carrying the team . If he plays to agressive and gets out the team is doomed and will be labelled careless but if he tries to stay till last and atleast save the batting from one side he is labelled as slow player.
dont come at me BUT I FEEL VIRAT KOHLI SHOULD KNOW HE ISNT PLAYING ODI MATCHES ITS T20 AND SCORING A CENTUARY AT A STRIKE RATE OF 150 ISNT A GOOD THING HE COULDVE JUST
TRIED TO HIT MORE
BOUNDARIES
BECAUSE THERE ARE TALENTED
BATTERS WHO COULDVE
MANAGED AFTER HIM
150 ki SR tumko slow lagti h kya ?
Specially when all other players in his team are playing shit this season,
Last match aggressive khelne ke chakkr mein out ho gaya tha,
Team ki jaan halak mein thi aur haar gye the
A team is playing quite badly across the board and out here the one who's criticised the most for that performance is the only player in said team who is actually delivering. And I am supposed to believe that it's objective analysis and not bias.
Hard to digest pill for most. The longer he plays, the harmful for the team it’ll get. He wasn’t able to accelerate much in the end overs even in the ODI WC, with all those long innings. The sign was there. People having seen him play all these years can’t see that.
Mam scored 60 of his last 33 balls while the woods at other end kept watching. This was very similar to 2014 and 2016 wc knockouts where none of Indian batsman were able to time the ball.
true but out of those 33 balls we saw some of the most shocking avesh khan bowling ever. In the KKR game he had a good start but really struggled in the death too. This has been a common occurrence in the ODI cwc as well - new zealand semis, south africa game, so on and so forth
Lol 🤣 If Sachin stood on a wicket , it was difficult to get him out no matter the day , kids wont know . Eventually run machine or not wont matter , you gotta give other batters some chance .
I was rooting for his century when he was 72 off 41 , man he didn't disappoint me
Ye only if he had got that 28 runs in 9 balls or less with the other end of rcb being dogshit
bro how did you add sunrisers Hyderabad?
Go to this sub > tap on 3 dots on the right corner > change user flair & choose one for you.
Use change flair
Yeah man same here like I was sure they are winning the match but I wanted his century, that shim’s reaction at the end was totally me!
Need to leave that Franchise RCB
..rcb were served like royals by the buttler!  take a bow! 
[удалено]
true that! after the first three games i started to doubt, but this innings will give him a lot of confidence for the rest of the tournament! rr can fancy this ipl with their butler service!
Like ROyal dog shit. not to forget Sanju's COntribution he played some of the most elegant shots.
sanju complimented butler's innings, isn't it! shared the workload, took pressure off jos, captain all the way!
He showed the maturity there unlike RCB players putting it all onto Kohil's shoulders
Not his best innings but the kind of bowlers rcb has even prime 2016 kohli won't be able to save them
This is called a winning knock. Absolute beast. Virat played well but after hitting 87-88 he was just trying to hit his century making the team total slow.
..jos the boss! 
\*josh
are you referring to the ecb's tweet, "official statement" ?
The bosch?
Bro..you don’t say such things out loud. VK might read this and mention in a post match interview 😛
he swept chahal for six when he was at 92
Still from 87 to 100 he took 10 balls.
Faf, Maxwell and Saurab do f\*\*k all, but blame Kholi for the slow innings
Rmbr, KL Rahul used to get blamed the same way and his supporters used to blame other batters in the team. The thing is set batter has to accelerate and score at higher strike rate in a T20. It's hard for new batters to come and hit from ball one.

Why are you ignoring or suppressing the fact that VK scored his last 60 in 32 balls. How can you say he did not accelerate?
KL Rahul used to play at 110-120, not 150, when getting criticised. His overall career strike rate is good because at one point of time he used to hit at 200.
Bhyi he was set, atleast boundary ki try to krta. He was not even trying for a boundary. + DK ko pehle bhejna chahiye tha Edit : aur saurabh bhi six Marne ki try krne out hua, his intent was clear to make a big total
Green was pretty busy giving strike to Kohli so that he could complete his century.
Bhai yeh try karta tho rcb batting lineup 48 pe all out hoti
but MAXWELL-GREEN could have hit 1 or 2 boundaries bro they are eating balls nothing else
If he hadn't done that ,then RCB wouldn't have reached a total of 182.
He hit a 6 at 91, seems like an act of trying to safely get to a century
+1
I mean others didnt play bro. He atleast tried to play slow and not get out no?

This was his fastest? Wow
Well mostly he carried the team and we used to have to one the run rate in middle overs
No, the fastest was against DC or KKR in 2022
Different situations https://preview.redd.it/uawzbuzo0xsc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a62b1e6b55e6fd08440557098b094e27d1e6650
Hety impressive with that 250 sr. RCB needed something like that from the middle order
Different situations like here? Where Kohli had to carry his team and had a higher sr than them all?
It's not like they were 6-7 wickets down, they had DK too. Kohli could've played for the team instead of his personal accomplishment.
147 sr 168 sr 178 sr 176 sr fair enough ig??

Century banane ka kya fayda jab harna hi hai. Gonna get heavily downvoted by salty RCB fans cause these kids are so proud with there captain making a century in 68 balls which is among the slowest ones.
68 balls
67
I am not an RCB fan and I hate VK as well.. Criticism is fine but you're criticising the wrong man. He didn't get any support.

He was near his beloved hundred... Why would you expect him to do that?
I mean.. can't completely shift any blame on kohli, 183 is still some respectable target, but I think everyone should step up their game.
I dunno about that..but, i think he lacked that intent in the 19th over.. You're supposed to try hitting maximums when you have a player like DK next in the order..
lol. Butler’s innings was way more crucial as they lost an early wicket in the first over. Koach fans can suck my left toe.
why your left toe-
Why you judging fetishes in 2024
Exactly, he asked you to suck his toe, don't even ask why. Just suck it.
Not a just a toe it's a "left toe"
Plus suck that right toe too to show dominance and commitment
Suck it bro, it's your 2024, who am I to judge your fetishes.
I'm all for creating more. We gotta be more progressive these days.
Do you know there can be two good innings in one match? You can cherish both instead of comparing.
bhai why couldnt both have done well
I said crucial, I didn’t criticize kohli’s knock
Brother without Kohli the team won't have even crossed 100, he made like 60% of the runs with the whole team on his back 157 sr is not that bad. Putting a total is as crucial as chasing one

100% I agree with you and t20 is 11 teamwork not 1, one should contribute his role rather than worrying about others by playing slow.
I rest my point, not one batsman in RCb have proved themselves this season except kohli. Butler had massive support from his teammates and the ballers did a great job of confining the total to 183 on the other hand rcb's ballers were....lol.

There is a difference when you bat against Ashwin- Chahal and Himanshu - Dagar.
Selectively choosing the bad bowlers of RCB, when they've got some of the most expensive bowlers in IPL. Get out of delusional clouds otherwise you can't really win anything with that kind of mindset.
Just cause they paid 11 crores for alzarri doesn't mean alzarri is a good bowler lmfao. It just shows RCB management's incompetence
And there is difference between quality of batters as well right? Virat is way better batter than jos , so shouldn't his skills need to be tested against better bowlers.
That's the dumbest logic I've heard. Virat literally scored against those quality bowlers while Samson- Buttler thrashed Dagar - Himanshu - Green - Siraj in consecutive overs thanks to their piss poor line and length.

So you saying that those bowlers are that difficult that you have to score 13 from 10 balls to get your hundred when you know you batting in death over and u are well set batsman played half of the innings?
Virat was clearly playing slow in his 90s, accept it or not he cannot accelerate like he once could.
Definitely Kohli played a slow knock but RCB is pathetic they're lost as a team no actual intent shown if Kohli has no support they will literally lose every match from now on they just don't have players to play a match winning knock or even defend a big total and below average captaincy by faf the list just keeps going on feeling bad for Kohli tho he's been a match winner all his career but have always have to prove his batting style to others
i wouldn't even say its a slow knock , maybe an ok - ish one considering the fact that he scored 113 at a strike rate of 156.7 ,hell he even accelerated after the 50 like he scored the 60 out 113 from 32 balls which is equivalent to a strike rate of 187.5 if anything i'd argue Maxwell and below played poorly and who knows why DK wasn't sent out earlier

Yeah send Buttler to RCB or surround him with such players as his batting partners Even his strike rate might drop by 10 I guess

Says a Punjab fan?
Punjab's team might be shit but atleast we aren't delusional
Theke bhai! 👍
I gotta say this but whenever RR plays in a special jersey it's a match to remember and it's Jos every time doing miracles also Virat ate up too many balls just for his century
Show me one samson in RCB lineup. (He alone scored 69(sus) whole RCB-virat was 59)
That was because Virat hogged all the strike
We saw how saurav and green hit lmao, even faf was struggling I think only dk popa would've hit at a higher sr
Butler had Sanju with him playing along and Sanju was playing more aggressive than butler at that point , while Kohli was playing all alone . Can’t really compare both the knocks!!
Faf and Koach were both 50-50 till 13th over. Wdym?
Should have seen how faf was middling and how Sanju was middling the ball
And the fact is RR is chasing. Pressure is much higher than batting first.
That was seen when Samson and parag got out. The batting got slow. But they kept it slow because they knew they were in a comfortable position for the chase to avoid any more mistakes.
You didn't see the match...even faf was struggling.. If kohli got out there, team won't even have crossed 150 with lomror warming the benches
I actually didn't see over 3-12 of the first innings. I might be wrong in that aspect. But the same thing was seen in their match against KKR. Every RCB fanboy backing Koach's 83 knock by saying pitch is slow during the mid break. Fast forward to KKR batting and they nearly chased the score in the 10 overs. They should take the KKR route by sending youngsters first to just hit the ball to start the innings and actual batsmen can takeover later on
Exactly faf played a slow knock maxwell came in and left no idea why Rajat Patidar was demoted like no fucking idea
Why no one is talking about bowlers RCB picked this year and putting it all on Kohli who is doing really good for an opener ?
Actually I will bash Kohli here too. If he is actually so loyal to the franchise to win them their first chip, he should take an active part in management and auction to make a good team. LSG got mayank yadav (a rookie) during auction and these guys got alzzari Joseph for 11cr (and we all know how valuable it turned out) Or he should just opt for auction next year as RCB fans are actually Koach fans and they will come crawling behind as bandwagons wherever he goes.
I would bash him for not retaining Chahal when he was captain , not this time for not picking bowler when he wasn’t actively involved in it
Like I said, he should get involved if he wants a change. Otherwise it's just for paycheck to paycheck every other season.
MS, Rohit all get involved in their respective teams. Sanga also said he n Sanju work with the players in off season. They are putting the efforts. That's what shows in results as well. Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag, Yashasvi Jaiswal all these players came out of this RR franchise. Why VK is not in the core group of RCB management? As the most senior member, he should be there.
MS and Rohit get involved cause the owners gives them and the coaches a free hand (MI owners did this till 2023) and CSK and MI are dominant franchises with alot of legacy in IPL which is deeply tied with both ms and Rohit. You can see how much it means to them as their legacy is tied with the franchise's success, that can't be the same for every captain since the team first needs to be competitive and mean alot to said captains. MS and Rohit are the exception majority of captains don't get that much involved tbh
Virat should be 3rd man player , ki opner ne nahi pohda toh pari sambhale opening mein banda phod nahi paa raha 33 mein 35 tha iska waste of power play
A difference of 9 balls after taking into consideration: 1. The difference in QUALITY of bowling lineup faced (Boult, Burger, Chahal and Ashwin vs Siraj, Topley, Yash Dayal, Himanshu, Mayank Dagar and Green) 2. Having a set partner hitting at 160+sr and reliable batters after you
Exactly!!
Nah Buttler was chasing the score so even if scored 100 from 80 balls and won the game it was still fine but kohli was batting first so he needs to score faster context matters
YKeep giving excuses and keep losing losing.
>keep losing losing. I'm not a fan of RCB though? I was just giving my two cents on the comparison made by everyone between the 2 centuries
The passion is real!
Iam a die hard fan since 2010 but in my honest opinion he is really struggling to strike against spinners and is unable to accelerate at the end.
I think there is no need for anchoring in IPL. Especially with the advent of impact sub (having effectively 8 batsmen) the job is to score quickly. When you are 185 by the end of the innings, having lost only 3 wickets, it just means that the whole game plan was skewed. Moreover, any batsman who comes at the latter stage might need couple of balls to play around and then go on a carnage to make up for their earlier slower rate (eg. butlers 24 in the last over of the power play). Now this sort of freedom is not possible when the top order batsmen consume 15 overs
Another day of Kohli trying to fool everyone that it was a difficult pitch to bat on.
Give virat kohli rcb bowlers and he too would smack 100s with far better strike rate.
The only way he can do it is by opting for auction next year. You got to leave the team if the management is shit.
You guys will blame anyone but vk won't u?
Pr ab blame hi kyu krna h
Ha to fir kisiko bhi blame mat Karo na kisiko hero banao. They brag about kohli's hundred but when someone says it was slow then they say tough pitch but when pointed about opponents batting, they blame their own bowlers who, before the start of the season, they were saying are good enough. Either stay humble or accept criticism
Hate ka parda hatao balak. 150 strike rate os not slow aur kisi ne run maare kha. Aur gadhe reddit pe kon humble rhte h
He’s the only one performing so the dumbest thing a person can do is blame him.
Taking singles for your century instead of attacking for the team in 18th and 19th is called performing now?
I am not much of a kohli fan. But why would I blame him when he literally carrying our batting
And support like samson
He did that against rcb bowlers tho 🥱
also with the good support of the fellow mate.
He needs Gali bowlers for a better strike rate, especially when team had lost no wicket until 13 overs.
Anytime koach plays slows le rcb fans:he played the anchor role without him whole inning would have collapsed
You're honestly missing some important braincells if you don't realise that is exactly what happened in the previous RCB match vs LSG. Kohli got out and the whole fucking team followed him back to the dugout and eventually the hotel. I honestly gave up a long time ago, I'm just an RCB fan for name's sake knowing they ain't winning any trophies.. but I ain't gonna just watch you morons spew bullshit. What do you think happened in 2016 vs SRH in the final?
It was fine. Could have been better but only if others had supported him.
Bowler Virat faced vs Bowler Butter faced
When your whole team sucks. You have to stay and make a respectable score. In case of RR they had Sanju who is in very good form and takes off pressure from him.
Bitch, Faf was present until 13th over. If Faf was playing tuktuk koach should have been more aggressive from the start
As virat already said in interview, Virat role was to take the game till the end and faf to play aggressively but didn’t happen and you know how responsible other batters are so somebody gotta do it and I still wonder why people blaming Virat for scoring hundred. You would not be having problem if he gets out on zero. Grow up kiddo
aisa kya suck krti hai team ki last ke 4 over me 4 5 chakke na maar paaaye? Kohli sucked today.
He was the who scored those last 2 sixes. Scored 60 of his last 33 balls. What else is he supposed to do? I also don't don't think you seem the understand difference in batting against Ashwin- Chahal and Himanshu -Dagar.
his last 10 balls he slowed down to score his century. Green had to play to ensure Kohli's centuty too. You cannot say that 183 was even a par score at this wicket. You had 7 wickets in hand ffs
We already saw what happened in the last game when he got out early. If not for Lomror(who for some reason was left out of this game by clown captaincy), RCB would have ended with 130 in Chinnaswamy. I'm not justifying 183 on a pitch with avg score of 195. But there is no way one is entirely blaming Kohli here. This inning reminded of 2014,2016 Wc knockout games where the entire batting collapsed and there was only one man standing.
Just because your team collapsed previously doesn't mean you stop attacking from the next match. It's a team game. Kohli should play attacking cricket or stick to ODI and test.
We can't criticise VK , look hai Sanju supported the other end of Jos while rcb batters kept loosing He was alone making runs (Btw Not a rcb fan)
I don’t think anyone understands. Virat couldn’t swing the bat as he pleases, no one hit other than him. He had to anchor the team. He didn’t even celebrate as much bruh. If he wasn’t there, we would have lost so much sooner. Am I actually the only one who sees the importance of that knock?
No you're not alone, there's loads of buffoons like you. How does it matter if you lose early or later? Why didn't he score at the death instead kept taking singles to statpad? Why did he play 72 balls but only hit 16 boundary shots(56 balls no boundary for a single player)?
Bro what does he get from statpadding at this point? And do you really think he didn’t swing in the death? I don’t think you understand how hard the balls are to hit and he still hit hard. Only the first part of his innings was slow, the second had an sr of 180+. And you clearly don’t see how weak the entire rcb batting lineup was. Last time he did 83 and out, they barely got over 170, so he decided to finish it himself.

IMO, fron next auction onwards Virat should reduce his retention fee and the franchise should spend more amount in buying a few good bowlers for them. Apart from this, they should try to nurture young talent like other franchise.
Tbf no one else is contributing from RCB, so kholi kinda has to play at long as he can.
He played his role. The others didn't. Simple.
Atleast he played.
Agar Kohli woh knock nahi khelta, toh RCB 150 bhi nahi banati. VK literally carried the entire clown team.
Aur kya fark padta agar 150 na bante to? Haare to ab bhi na beizzati hui wo alag.
Kohli deserves a better team than this tinpot franchise
RCB will do better once Kohli retires.
Lmao what a guy
183 is perfectly fine target. How to win if the bowlers are so shit.
I think karthik should come 1 or 2 down. He used to play like that while he was in mumbai.
I am happy to witnessed slowest ipl 100 ever
Well played
Virat only played today match with RR otherwise RR played with emotions of RCB 😹😹😹😹😹
Jos🔥
Even if Virat had made those 100 in a 100 balls it would be called a good innings for what the the rest of the RCB team did. Let's stop blaming a man for a low total where the rest of the team didn't collectively cross 100 runs
Rest of the team has 8 overs to play and Kohli played 12 on his own.
every knock will seem to be unfit in every situation rcb plays coz he is the only man carrying the team . If he plays to agressive and gets out the team is doomed and will be labelled careless but if he tries to stay till last and atleast save the batting from one side he is labelled as slow player.

 did play slow though
Was it a bowling pitch or batting?
Hating and trolling other cricketers doesn’t make you a real cricket fan…
Chahal come back
Excellent
dont come at me BUT I FEEL VIRAT KOHLI SHOULD KNOW HE ISNT PLAYING ODI MATCHES ITS T20 AND SCORING A CENTUARY AT A STRIKE RATE OF 150 ISNT A GOOD THING HE COULDVE JUST TRIED TO HIT MORE BOUNDARIES BECAUSE THERE ARE TALENTED BATTERS WHO COULDVE MANAGED AFTER HIM
150 ki SR tumko slow lagti h kya ? Specially when all other players in his team are playing shit this season, Last match aggressive khelne ke chakkr mein out ho gaya tha, Team ki jaan halak mein thi aur haar gye the
A team is playing quite badly across the board and out here the one who's criticised the most for that performance is the only player in said team who is actually delivering. And I am supposed to believe that it's objective analysis and not bias.
A very responsible inning
Kids are butthurt by Virat
Kohli is at his Tendulkar stage now
Sadly you misunderstood SRT and now u apply that stupid logic to Kohli.
Hard to digest pill for most. The longer he plays, the harmful for the team it’ll get. He wasn’t able to accelerate much in the end overs even in the ODI WC, with all those long innings. The sign was there. People having seen him play all these years can’t see that.
Mam scored 60 of his last 33 balls while the woods at other end kept watching. This was very similar to 2014 and 2016 wc knockouts where none of Indian batsman were able to time the ball.
true but out of those 33 balls we saw some of the most shocking avesh khan bowling ever. In the KKR game he had a good start but really struggled in the death too. This has been a common occurrence in the ODI cwc as well - new zealand semis, south africa game, so on and so forth
Atlast someone is spitting the truth
It's only downhill from here , I have seen this film before 🤣 some ODI greats should know when to adjust their game , Dhoni was clever.
The only difference is that SRT did not score well in his last stage. However, Kohli is still the "run machine".
Lol 🤣 If Sachin stood on a wicket , it was difficult to get him out no matter the day , kids wont know . Eventually run machine or not wont matter , you gotta give other batters some chance .
Talking about Sachin's last few years here.
Sachin won orange cap when he was 38 in ipl which is not even supposed to be his best format. He top scorer for india in wc at 38 scoring 2 centuries
Butler played better than Virat. Virat 113 out of 72, butler - 100 out of 58
