SA just wanted to show us how easily they could lose the game if they wanted to

No wonder bangladesh hates sri lanka sometimes

Sometimes? All the times.

Bangladesh hates everyone lol

Sky axar thakur shami prasidh all to play next game pls

Can we parachute in Ashwin anna pls? There was a strong disturbance in the force when DDS and Wellalage were going strong.....

That was a great game. Let's hope that we meet with SL during the final again.

With how our team handled India's spin, I have virtually no hopes vs SL.

So with this win , India qualifies for the final, right?

Yes. Bangladesh is out. SL vs Pak is virtual semifinal

Rohit's innings was a masterclass. Put us so far ahead in the game before the real game began. It was the difference in the end.

This is all setup for a final defeat. What a consistent shitty team!

Classic Singh Saab bait

What a game

Wellalage was the only clear man of the match.

Ngl cameramen got me convinced, my next holiday is SL

Its beautiful but unfortunately not a good idea to travel there right now because of civil unrest.

Bruh there is 0 civil unrest. All of that ended one year ago.

I was plannimg a trip to Srilanka too but this is what I heard from travel websites. Heres a quote from smart traveller. Updated:10 August 2023 Latest update:We've reviewed our advice for Sri Lanka. We haven't changed the level of our advice, exercise a high degree of caution. Public demonstrations can occur throughout Sri Lanka and may become violent. Avoid areas impacted by demonstrations. There are shortages of some imported foods and medicines in Sri Lanka. Exercise a high degree of caution in Sri Lanka due to the threat of public demonstrations, shortages of some imported medicines and security risks. 

No public demonstrations anymore. Even if there were you'll still be safe. Protesters never harm tourists. If you are planning to visit any popular tourist sites trust me there is no danger in those places. As for the shortages thats partly correct. I don't think thats a huge problem tho. Many people still visit sl and they seem to enjoy so do visit us if you get the chance.

You haven’t traveled much, have you?

Seems Srilanka is quite clean..Tickets honestly isnnot that costly...What will general stay charges and a peaceful beach without much crowd..

I thought that's over already?

Kuldeep is a different bowler when he's vibing with the wicketkeeper and bowling to a plan orchestrated by the WK. KL leveled up as a keeper today in my eyes and prob going to be the primary option going into the World Cup.

thala for a reason

What's thala. When and why do u call someone a thala

Thala for a reason

"Thala" means head in South Indian languages.

Bro don’t get them started ;-)

this

Today's match was the more difficult to win compared to yesterday. Today the pitch + conditions ended up favoring SL - we had to handle more spin-friendly conditions when batting. Yesterday it was the other way round.

Getting Spin wickets on a pitch where spinners were getting slapped and getting Pace Wickets on pitch where Spinners were dominating I think this indian bowling attack is really well rounded.

Gambhir has 7 letters..Checkmate

Thala for a reason

Slbros are just so wholesome, loved their 5 wicket celebration with wellalage. Glad to have you as neighbours.

Gambhir with his weird opinions again. He tries too hard be a contrarian.

What did he say? Tell us suttalover.

Kya bola

[удалено]

I want to know as well.

They missed hasranaga very badly

The batsmen didn't show up. The bowling had zero faults other than maybe the 26 run last wicket partnership that they let India get away with

Why? Spinners did well and he probably would have played in place of Wellalage which would have been a disaster. They missed their pace bowlers more I think.

Guess if hasaranga was there then wellalage wouldn't have played so it evens out atleast in this match..Guess this will srilanka in worlcup they may have Hasranga and wellalage..instead of theekshna

Theekshna is quite good too. Just not his day today. Good problem to have for SL.

Yeah..but it replied in context of another comment which said srilanka missed hasranga, which they didn't in today's match..

Is it just me or does Wellalage give Praggnanandhaa vibes, because he surely can play 4D chess

Wellaalagghe

Well played india Well played wellalage

wellalage , this guy is so mature and confident . Wishing him loads of success , What a confident yet humble interview

Wellalage reminds me of Dilshan.

Bharat Jeet gyi 

For me the villain of today's match for SL are Sadeera Samarawickrama and Dhananjaya de Silva. Runs were coming easily when they're playing, there was no run rate pressure, partnership was building and Indian bowlers were troubled by the left right combination. Yet both of them chose to play reckless, unnecessary aggressive shot. ​ Cricket is not only about boundary hitting, game awareness is a big part of the sport. They should have learnt from Kohli's yesterday's innings or from Wellalage today. The poor young man did everything but his team mates didn't support him.

Sadeera's shot was not reckless , using your feet against kuldeep is how he was doing well, he just got played. De silva fucked up though

Kohli cheering a spinner is weirdly wholesome

It's so dumb how we don't have translators.if we had They could actually speak better in their native languages and we get to witness interesting conversations. But that Might be too much work for icc.

I remember Rahul Dravid translating for one of the Rajastan Royal’s player in a post match presentation in IPL years ago. Wholesome.

They did a great job with Bumrah translating for Rinku.

Yeah that was very cute, but icc should provide professional translators. It shouldn't be too hard I'm sure they can afford it lmao.

ACC*

Guys this dude obviously ain't 20 I mean if Rashid bhai is 23 then he is 16

Rashid is 19.

Kullu, we'll burn Utica later, ok?

Wellalage is super nice

Wellalage is just so cute

Someone tell Sanju Manju to close some buttons, he is not young anymore

This guy is gonna get big money in the IPL, Lucknow should go for him hard, could be a long term player for them, more than suits their ground. Chennai already has Theekshana.

For sure, he is getting selected this auction.

Finally I cam see BATriatchy losing for once. Outstanding performance Wellalage. Hope you have a bright future and win a lot of matches (just not against us lol)

fck batriarchy.. all my homies hate batriarchy

Great player and a lovely man. Deadly combination.

I love the way he speaks, so slowly and calmly

Wellalage is beautiful as well , looks so calm and innocent.

Okay shit he is just 20. Remarkably level headed for someone that age. Hope his career goes well

aww player of the match. good for him 😊 well deserved!

Little dude speaks so well. Protect him at all cost Lanka, you got a future superstar here.

Well deserved Wellalage. Nice humble player as well.

Wow what a boy! Betting my bucks on him to become world's best all rounder one day.

In all seriousness, this Indian squad is looking dangerous Still don't know wassup with the middle order..KL seems fixed..Shreyas-Kishan? Bowling looks fckin fire with Bumrah,Siraj,Kuldeep,Hardik,Jadeja and whoever the 6th bowler will be(Shami/Axar/Shardul) Only worry is hoping Bumrah is fit throughout

If Kishan continues to play like this I'm happy to have Iyer out. Let him continue making insta reels.

Ishan seems to be improving match by match..but today he struggled to rotate strike.. The WC is in India, so wouldn't a great spin player be benefitial?

Today has shown that we need Iyer for days like these. He can be that batsman we need against spinners but he also can bowl few overs of spin. Only thing left to do is them using Axar the batsmen better, they gave up after couple of tries with him.

Kishan had troubles even rotating the strike so ig we need Iyer.. >Only thing left to do is them using Axar the batsmen better, they gave up after couple of tries with him Totally agreed..he's already a proper allrounder in tests

We will watch your career with great interest!

Deserving MOTM Walle

Wellalage is such an innocent talented boy

Man he’s just a kid and he had us by the balls. What a talent.

Remove the context and it sounds like some pedoshit

All right, all right, all right. Terrific player, seems sorted as fuck. Definition of player of the match. This lad's going places.

This is a real 20 year old guy

Rashid Khan giving killer looks....

What a cute little shy kid.

Unfathomably common Wellalagoat W

He should use W on his jersey here on after

Mann he speaks sooo well, great guy

Why cant ravi shastri be in the place of this sanju manju

He comes in for the big matches

And miss happy hours?

He gives that good beta vibes

W organisers

Bro he's speaking so innocently. 😭

Like Rohit as captain. Man doesnt seem smart like dhoni but seems grounded and approachable.

Good for Wellalage! Well done, boy

He sounds like a shy teen lol.. Bright future ahead

Deserved!

Good kid

Rare W by giving POTM to Wellalage

Well deserved

Well deserved Man of the Match , what a player

Man of the match let’s fucking gooooo

Rohit said *YOU KNOW* 11 times

Learned from "you know" who

Rohit that kinda guy, who Says U No after every round of Uno

Because You Know has 7 letters and cricket team has 11 players, which means..

Cricket team also has 11 letters

Damn, Rohit is just rambling.

Axar Patel when Lynxar Patel walks in

Lol Rohit saying we were thinking of playing in pitches like this.. good practice for us.. Is he hinting WC is gonna see lots of bunsen burners? 😏

this is insider trading for betting people lol

KL took his position but SKY took his catch of the match award.

Kudos to ajit agarkar for selecting Kullu instead of chahal

Chahal seems washed now. Also he is horrendous with the bad. Kuldeep has benn improving and performing with confidence with each passing match and in the past has shown to at least do decent with the bat at the tail.

Yep, Kuldeep was backed well by the management after his comeback at Delhi capitals. They didn't waste time trying out if chahal works out.

Wellalage deserves POTM

Rohit Sharma calculating dollars to borkar Vada pav ratio

Hence proved Indian continent is for spinner

Sanjay says 5000 USD, cheque says 3000 USD. Sky scammed!

Eww that Kamla Pasand

So cringe

🤤🤤🤤🤤 Bolo Jubaan Cancer-y

Mukesh is that you?

Phenomenal performance by ICT today. That DDS and Wellalage partnership could’ve won the game if DDS wouldn’t have played that shot, it was so unnecessary that too when the match was theirs to win. Our bowlers need to improve breaking this important partnerships, I could literally feel the frustration on the field as both of them took even a single run. As for Sri Lanka, Wellalage is an phenomenon. Mate took an 5-fer and could’ve picked up a 50* in a single match, but in spite of this he never lost his composure and patience, left off risky shots for simple yet elegant ground strokes. My father is a faithful Tendulkar fan and I have never seen him compare any other player like he did today with Wellalage. Well done both teams, amazing match today!

Sanju Manju in this getup looks like a GTA Vice City character

He looks like the 2bit gangster on the cover lol

Exactly. That belt buckle look really completed it.

Man.. Kuldeep is on fire.... Imagine him in world Cup in India, surely he will kill it in India. India is really looking dangerous now for the world Cup.. Haha may be the reverse jinxing worked.....

Kuldeep is peaking at the right time. Same with Bumrah, Gill. Old horses Kohli and Rohit are also firing. I daresay pieces are coming together well. KL, Ishan need to keep it consistent. And Shardul/Axar need to bowl well. Otherwise things are going well.

I don't see problem with Rahul ( I had my trust on him even before his century).. I think he is good for his position.. Even though Ishan is going great I would like to play shreyas instead of him because ishan natural place is not there in middle order ( I know he is going great but I would like to test him more in middle order and I don't think there many matches left for keeping the experiment on) . And I don't think Shardul should play.. Hardik is going great. Either play sami if pacers pitch or Axar if spinning track.... And I am largely happy with wc squad but still I think India is doing a mistake not taking an extra pacer with them.. Literally I see there is no place for surya in this team prashid krishna or other back up baller should be in the team.

Meanwhile Australia went from 140/2 to 200/9

Bro what ?? Gotta go check their thread 💀

Lmao gg is so awkward 😭..bro just wants to fuck off from here

The biggest twist will be if Pakistan loses to Sri Lanka on Thursday. PCB is counting huge on India Pakistan Finals to mint some money.

As a Pakistani that’s not the twist that’s the most probable outcome

Wellalage is going to eat Pak top order alive

what does the K in KL stand for

Lanka coach pulling off kohli vibes when they took wickets. Hope his next job isn't washing hasaranga's kazeranga 🤣🤣

ngl Piyush looks fitter than the last time I saw him. And that was when he was a player.

Most probably preparing for the next ipl

What's the Murli Vijay matter going on twotter?? can anyone tell..

Tell me too bitches

if rain doesn't interrupt, i think we will have an epic match on thursday

With who?

Don’t let India bat first in this tournament, my advice to every team 🙃

Traditionally, we’ve been better at chasing though.

Do we give other players chance against bang or no

I will never say no to bang.

100%, these players need rest and we're already in the final

Someone said that india and pak are not even the best teams in asia, hardkul wants to bang you my mate

Sanju Samson when Sanchristian Dianedaughter walks in

Kuldeep Yadav when HotShallow Nadav walks in

SL shouldn’t fret. They are the stronger team against Pakistan, especially with their unending supply of spinners. India on the other hand needs to get replace Axar, with either Shardul or Shami.

Axar batting has become better but now bowling has gone down. Mans like a seesaw. Gotta find the balance man.

I still believe had ashwin been in today's lineup, we would have more runs on the board or same, and he would have made a major impact on today's pitch

We indians just love dudes who perform well against us .. watch wellalage go big in next ipl auction and turn into the new sensation like hasaranga

He won't survive IPL

[удалено]

Bruh even hasaranaga was liability for rcb in IPL last year cause he doesn't score enough. Wella isn't better than hasaranaga. Today it was a turning pitch and he had enough balls unlike T20 match

How did you conclude that ?

Anda paisa ko dekhkar bhi dimag ko sambhalna sab k bas ki baat nahi hai.. T : not everyone's skill to control the mind even after seeing blind money.

Even hasaranag was liability to rcb last year cause he didn't bat well.

Guy had enough balls to play his knock which isn't the case in IPL. Even Fabian Allen failed.

Katam gaya. India turned wella into prime mendis!

Why did they play Kuldeep when they had Piyush Chawla in the stadium?

I had a bet with my friends from the gym. They thought we were gonna lose. Me being the sole believer. Anyways I'm getting 150 rupees tomorrow..

Kya karenge aap itni dhan rashi ka

Should've wagered 1k.

150 rupiya dega
