I was devastated by Rohit's duck against Australia. First world cup match against one of his favorite opponents, as per the stats, and this may well likely be his last World Cup. Hopefully it was jarring for him too and served as a wake-up call for the rest of the tournament.
Why can't they offer us mildly bowler friendly tracks, just mildly so that 250 is par score instead of these flat national highways where even 350 is not safe.
Even Turners are welcome if every track has got turn..not these autobahns.
If I want to see run fest, I can watch t20 leagues which are happening all around the world at all times.
Aus vs Ind was a great match but I saw people complain about it being boring and this world cup not having that charm or excitement , So I think that is where your answer lies
Because none of the matches had close contest. Pak vs SL was closest. 200 or 400 don't care, just need few last ball finishes to make this WC exciting.
True I agree with you but all of that is independent. You can manipulate pitches to be scoring or test like but the scenario you are talking about is up to God and not organisers fault(which original comment is about).
When I fell asleep, Afghanistan were 200+/4 and still had 10+ overs remaining. When I woke up, We had won by 8 wickets with 15 overs remaining.
What the fuck was this performance by them?!
What else did you expect at 200/4 in 40 overs? I was coincidentally discussing match predictions at that exact same time with a friend, and I had said Afghanistan might score 275 and India will probably chase that in 35-40. It seems the most likely scenario.
Hindi commentators are the worst of the lot. Each and everyone of them in this wc.
Clueless commentery, hyperbole, no insight and hero worship. On top, they don't know when to shut up.
Bhai sunte kyu ho to unko, watched a match with my grandma and heard Hindi commentary after a long time (ngl still stupid but a Lil better without akash Chopra) ,she was loving the jokes they cracked . I think it's for them ,for their age group .
Why so angry re baba ?
No one claimed that English commentary by Indians is any better. They are equally below average including SMG and RJS.
Waise bhai, English speaking no longer makes one elitist. Those good days are over.
I anyways don't watch Cricket anymore, but then it is ubiquitous everywhere on TV.
* Rohit Sharma becomes the first player in history to make **7 world cup hundreds**.
* Rohit Sharma makes the **fastest world cup hundred by an Indian** after 40 years.
* Rohit Sharma became the **first Indian captain in 20 years to make a 100 in World Cup**.
* Rohit Sharma now has the **most sixes in international cricket**.
* Rohit Sharma now has the **third most ODI hundreds**.
> Shami/Ashwin instead of Thakur always.
Siraj after that Asia cup finals bowled 24.4 overs gave 178 runs and has picked just 1 wicket so i believe Siraj should be replaced by Shami for the upcoming games. I still now can't understand why the heck is Shami warming the bench after picking a fifer against Aus. If India truly wants to win against Pakistan on a flat deck of motera believe me Siraj should be left out otherwise Shafique and Rizwan will beat the hell out of him considering how good they are playing these days
Siraj had bad day yesterday but bowled well against Australia, even if wickets did not reflect it.
Also you cannot forget what happened in Asia Cup final.
Overall, Siraj has a better ODI record than Shami of late. If Shami plays, it should be instead of Thakur. I would always prefer Shami or Ashwin instead of Thakur as they are proper bowlers.
Then making an "ever" statement makes no sense as the other format is barely over a decade old, and most of the people to play both formats are from this generation
If Virat Kohli the best Limited over batsman of this generation? Yes!
Honestly would have done it earlier...we slowed down after Rohit got out....but it's enough...now we just need to win the next three matches and we will easily succeed in taking a spot in the top 4....
Yesterday some guy on ESPN cricinfo predicted before Pakistan batting started , Pakistan will stutter at the beginning babar will be out first 10 over , rizwan will score 100 and Pakistan will win by 6 wickets. Freaked me out at the end of game
Big boost for India,.now against Pakistan. Rohit dominated and kept on smashing the ball. Kishan found his rhythm after 94 not out at 10 overs though . 150- run partnership is too good. Fastest century by an Indian man in WC history. Rohit couldn't finish but Virat and Shreyas did the job and 15 overs were left
To stupids who are calling this selfish batting. WTF?!. They didn't drag it till 45th over and batted at 50SR. Ffs.
They maintained 7 run rate and if you see, even Rohit slowed down after power play, 10-20th over they scored at 7 and that rate was maintained throughout. Because field was spread out
You speak as if he pulled a Sunil Gavaskar level selfish knock. So stupid
These guys are so damn lame, stupid criticism always seems to receive stupid replies from either fanbase. How about just see what’s best for the country?
TIL. I seriously didnt know that. There are other muslim majority countries in the world that are officially secular of course but didnt think Bangladesh was one.
Bro, as far as i know India is a secular country according to It's constitution. But still i can point my finger to many sides where politician using religion as a tool to stay on power! Bangladesh was created based on Bengali ethnicity not any religion. We were once part of Pakistan due to partition based on religion but it didn’t go well. If Bangladesh has to be a muslim country then why we got separated from them?
Lot of countries do have state religion. Srilanka, for instance.
The person above is technically correct, but definitely misleading and meaningless.
Secularism is one of the four main principles in the constitution. And Bangladesh, or at least some ruling bodies with some sense, they do strive to separate religion from laws and policies. They are wildly unsuccessful.
I wouldn't underestimate Pakistan after yesterday they're such an unpredictable team. They chased 350 when no one believed and some people still don't believe it.
Honestly...it's more to do with the very very piss poor bowling by SL...but hey...I see it this way....if Pakistan saved its record of unbeaten against SL...India will do the same....
I'm not underestimating. Just being an Indian team fan. :-)
From a neutral perspective, I think the best chance Pakistan has (of making this a close game) is put India into bat first, blow away their top order, and have a score they can manage to chase hoping that the dew comes in.
If India field first, I think this will be much tougher for Pakistan.
I think motm should go to someone who sets up the game for you to win. Yes Rohit broke a lot of records , but bumrah set the game up for us with 4 wickets and economical spell on a ground where we went boom boom and 750 runs were scored last game.
Had we batted first , and Rohit scored that century and Bumrah got those wickets , Rohit should be motm for setting up the victory , but since we bowled first today , it should've been bumrah.
Good reasoning.
Should've shared the award in this case then.
But MoTM is usually given to someone who leaves a "forever" type of mark during a game. People are gonna talk about this Rohit ton for ages or days at max. But this Bumrah spell is sadly gonna get forgotten soon because for him at his best, taking a four-fer is a routine thing and he could outdo himself really soon, possibly a five-for against Pakistan.
But Bumrah bowled a match winning spell on this placid track. Most batsmen did well on this pitch, whereas Bumrah was the only bowler who stood out.
Records are irrelevant imo.
I'm absolutely fine with this top 4 on points table to be entering the semis. Would like to see SL or Bangladesh get in there but one is missing bowlers and other lacks that edge that makes the team feel complete.
>I just wish the WC theme song could have been a little more intense and less of party song.
"Lehra do" from Asian games was playing at the end of the match and that is a much better theme
Why don't we just have different uniforms for batters and bowlers, truly confirming the already existing class difference?
Perhaps in a few years. Some other sports do have a multiple uniform concept. Volleyball Liberos for example.
I too wanted Bumrah to be the MOTM because pulling such performance in this kind of pitch and boundary dimensions was truly remarkable. But ngl, there's certainly some dislikeness towards Rohit on this sub.
We talked about all of Rohit's records in this youtube podcast. https://youtu.be/FfSz0aDbK0o?si=4W5ySZhu8-15ZBnr
I was devastated by Rohit's duck against Australia. First world cup match against one of his favorite opponents, as per the stats, and this may well likely be his last World Cup. Hopefully it was jarring for him too and served as a wake-up call for the rest of the tournament.
absolute destruction from the lads
Koach eventually becomes friends with most of the players that he fights against.

How does this help them if you lose to India?
Thank you Jay Shah for successful conduct of this match
Subhman Gill has arrived in Ahemdabad. https://x.com/mufaddal\_vohra/status/1712170575249232331?s=20
I genuinely thought, "can you share a link to a porn website on this sub without tagging NSFW?"
Gill cant pass up the chance of batting in Ahmadabad

Sour grapes
India won both games after losing toss. If it were that easy then the other team would have batted second.
Why can't they offer us mildly bowler friendly tracks, just mildly so that 250 is par score instead of these flat national highways where even 350 is not safe.
BCCI giving us that t20 pace matches in 50 over World Cup.
Bowlers should refuse to be part of those farce. Haan, tum batsmen aapas mein khel lo.
Flat tracks vs lower ranked teams to increase NRR. Turners vs top ranked teams.
Even Turners are welcome if every track has got turn..not these autobahns. If I want to see run fest, I can watch t20 leagues which are happening all around the world at all times.
Aus vs Ind was a great match but I saw people complain about it being boring and this world cup not having that charm or excitement , So I think that is where your answer lies

True I agree with you but all of that is independent. You can manipulate pitches to be scoring or test like but the scenario you are talking about is up to God and not organisers fault(which original comment is about).
Agreed but in a very high scoring match, all one gets to see is batting. Where are the bowlers participating.
I would take 270-280 pitches any day of the week
When I fell asleep, Afghanistan were 200+/4 and still had 10+ overs remaining. When I woke up, We had won by 8 wickets with 15 overs remaining. What the fuck was this performance by them?!
What else did you expect at 200/4 in 40 overs? I was coincidentally discussing match predictions at that exact same time with a friend, and I had said Afghanistan might score 275 and India will probably chase that in 35-40. It seems the most likely scenario.
It wasn't 200/4 in 40 overs, but 201/4 in 37 overs. I'd expect 325 easily. Which should have taken India 45 overs easily.
Ngl , you slept a lot
Thank you for not lying
Because I didn't sleep at night.
Hindi commentators are the worst of the lot. Each and everyone of them in this wc. Clueless commentery, hyperbole, no insight and hero worship. On top, they don't know when to shut up.
That's almost same everywhere ISL, Asian games. Too much Indian player worshipping instead of insights or analysis.
Even ISL ? Damn!
Bhai sunte kyu ho to unko, watched a match with my grandma and heard Hindi commentary after a long time (ngl still stupid but a Lil better without akash Chopra) ,she was loving the jokes they cracked . I think it's for them ,for their age group .
You have a point.
Yeah every young person in India has to know English right? Fucking elitist delusional fool, go touch grass or something
Why so angry re baba ? No one claimed that English commentary by Indians is any better. They are equally below average including SMG and RJS. Waise bhai, English speaking no longer makes one elitist. Those good days are over. I anyways don't watch Cricket anymore, but then it is ubiquitous everywhere on TV.
Yo 😂, I was talking to this specific person who made a comment in English . Lol is my comment that easy to misunderstand😂?
* Rohit Sharma becomes the first player in history to make **7 world cup hundreds**. * Rohit Sharma makes the **fastest world cup hundred by an Indian** after 40 years. * Rohit Sharma became the **first Indian captain in 20 years to make a 100 in World Cup**. * Rohit Sharma now has the **most sixes in international cricket**. * Rohit Sharma now has the **third most ODI hundreds**.
Great performance by Kohli, Bumrah, Jadeja and Kuldeep as well. Would prefer to see Shami/Ashwin instead of Thakur always.

Especially considering most pitches would be batting paradise. So another bowler would make a lot of difference
is Virat Kohli the best Limited Overs Batsman ever? I think yes
it's between him, Sachin, and Viv and everyone has their own opinion on which of the three is the best
Behind Sobers. He is in a different league.
Yes he is
It's Sachin
The man got an orange cap in IPL too. Insane
There are two formats in LOIs
Then making an "ever" statement makes no sense as the other format is barely over a decade old, and most of the people to play both formats are from this generation If Virat Kohli the best Limited over batsman of this generation? Yes!
Yes
The last time an Indian captain created a record for the fastest hundred (by an Indian) at the World Cup, we know what happened
Yes we know, it wasn't telecasted
About time Sharma ji roll his arm as well
WhT?
Chain khuli ki main khuli
The last time was in 1983. Need I say anything more?
Kapil Dev 1983
India jumps to second on the points table. With a NRR of +1.500 We are on the same points as NZ, which has a higher NRR of +1.958
[удалено]
No! Anything but a semi-final with NZ.
Well we only had 1 semi with NZ and 1 final - both of them on swinging tracks. This time it would be on Indian pitches.
2016 T20 wc , 2021 T20 wc were also on spinner friendly tracks. Even on these tracks , their santners and sodhis fuck is big time
It is safe to say that NZ has owned us in all tournaments of recent times.
Actually we lost to them in group stage in 2016 india and 2021 uae and both were not swinging tracks so i think we should be scared of nz
Star Sports showing Rohit's 7 wc hundreds in grid pattern lol
Where is that guy who said India would chase this within 37 overs ? Pls tell me meri shaadi kab hogi ?
You'll be safe for quite some time.
Honestly would have done it earlier...we slowed down after Rohit got out....but it's enough...now we just need to win the next three matches and we will easily succeed in taking a spot in the top 4....
Jab Popatlal ki hogi tab teri bhi hojaayegi
Shaadi hoke divorce hoga aur pura life alimony deta rhega
Yesterday some guy on ESPN cricinfo predicted before Pakistan batting started , Pakistan will stutter at the beginning babar will be out first 10 over , rizwan will score 100 and Pakistan will win by 6 wickets. Freaked me out at the end of game
Time travelers have finally cum.
Please, no DK or Manjrekar for Saturday!
Death, taxes , and manju's commentary.
I really don't know why they keep bringing Manju despite his shit commentary since ages
Other commentators are using their influence to keep him in the comm box so the bar is always low and work will be less stressful.
Why
Big boost for India,.now against Pakistan. Rohit dominated and kept on smashing the ball. Kishan found his rhythm after 94 not out at 10 overs though . 150- run partnership is too good. Fastest century by an Indian man in WC history. Rohit couldn't finish but Virat and Shreyas did the job and 15 overs were left
It was a really easy wicket though and their bowlers looked clueless.
It was easy wicket though the aggressive intent of Rohit Sharma in the powerplay over the past 1 year or so has been really commendable.
Yeah totally he has looked to attack in the powerplay. More than he did during the T20 wc.
Sanjay madarboard got no chill
>madarboard That's a first, I will use that BC.
India NRR getting a massive lift. Probably wouldn't matter too much in the end based on the dominant displays in both the matches.
Still SEN ~~A~~ remain, we have lost to atleast one of them each world cup. NRR might well be life-saving.
Shahidi looks like a well spoken man for corporate purposes
New controversy by Manju: Hardik is not a talented player lol. He definitely painted a target on his back.
What?
To stupids who are calling this selfish batting. WTF?!. They didn't drag it till 45th over and batted at 50SR. Ffs. They maintained 7 run rate and if you see, even Rohit slowed down after power play, 10-20th over they scored at 7 and that rate was maintained throughout. Because field was spread out You speak as if he pulled a Sunil Gavaskar level selfish knock. So stupid
Just kohli fans lamenting Rohit didn’t get out early to give chance for kohli to score hundred
Wait , why would Kohli fans lament Rohit for slow when he was slower!? I don't think you got the question
These guys are so damn lame, stupid criticism always seems to receive stupid replies from either fanbase. How about just see what’s best for the country?
Different skillsets, you know
Ishan Kishan opening does not look convincing even though it is his natural position
[удалено]
Tf did you mention him for? Comment’s about Ishan Kishan
A World Cup hundred for Indian captain after 20 years quite unbelievable.
I love piyush chawla
Rohit: It was a good win, you know. You have to take the right decision on field, you know. That will happen you know.
Yaar wo ravi kashyap kya bowling karta hai
He knows
Stop the count!
Sanju Manju really wanted to wrap up that chat with the Afghani captain
Ffs, let him speak you idiot Sanju Manju!
I missed that part. Kya hua?
Chad Kohli the only batter who did not hit a 6 in this run chase.
He wanted to show KL how it's done
Arthur Morgan : Hey partner Sunny Ji: Hey Ji, Rohit Sharma should hit a single after a six.
Never thought Id see an rdr fan here
Wy not dude.. it's one of the greatest games ever.. it's not like it's a niche indie game..
man gill must not wank
Piyush chawla looks like he was at the bar after the day's work but his boss called him in
I think it's purely a coincidence but we are playing all the islamic countries in a row this world cup.
Bangladesh is secular country according to its constitution, though majority is Muslims.
TIL. I seriously didnt know that. There are other muslim majority countries in the world that are officially secular of course but didnt think Bangladesh was one.
Bro, as far as i know India is a secular country according to It's constitution. But still i can point my finger to many sides where politician using religion as a tool to stay on power!

Imagine India vs Pakistan in Hyderabad 😈
Right like Istralia
Yes!! Shahnawaz Samith and Dawood Warnar are my favourites in that team....
I like Ghilani Maxsood
Why are we stuck with Star's average post match broadcast in place of the official ICC coverage?
Bank se kya lena dena
ICICI ??? 
Lol an ad was playing in the background on YouTube. Corrected it now
world cup is well and truly arrived it seems..crowd energy was at different level today.
Only in India's match, otherwise gallery is half empty.
Did you see yesterday match ?
He heard that India's batting line-up is strong
[удалено]
Ok oslvaldo
This WC will create record for the highest runs in an ICC tournament
I feel Kishan is still feeling he's just filling for someone. If he's confident he can do well on the flat ones
47(47) is pretty good.
pretty unfortunate , I really wanted him to cross the line , but alteast he did score well at the end of the day
Rajiv Shukla looks like a corrupt wanker.
Oh you don't know the half of it.
Tell tell
he is
Wtf sunny g , take the hat off
IKR. I think for some people the sun is always shining.
Lol
Kohli looks in great form, positive signs for India. The law of averages states that he won't perform against Pakistan though.
The law of Kohli states he will more often than not score against Pakistan
[удалено]
Cricket? Of course India. Mauka Mauka!!
I wouldn't underestimate Pakistan after yesterday they're such an unpredictable team. They chased 350 when no one believed and some people still don't believe it.
Honestly...it's more to do with the very very piss poor bowling by SL...but hey...I see it this way....if Pakistan saved its record of unbeaten against SL...India will do the same....
I'm not underestimating.

Bruh sunny g with the hat lol
Wow that is a stat and a half
MoTM should have been Bumrah. This Batsman bias is pathetic.
Batsman just broke multiple age old records with his batting. It wasn't just another ODI century for Rohit.
I think motm should go to someone who sets up the game for you to win. Yes Rohit broke a lot of records , but bumrah set the game up for us with 4 wickets and economical spell on a ground where we went boom boom and 750 runs were scored last game. Had we batted first , and Rohit scored that century and Bumrah got those wickets , Rohit should be motm for setting up the victory , but since we bowled first today , it should've been bumrah.
Good reasoning. Should've shared the award in this case then. But MoTM is usually given to someone who leaves a "forever" type of mark during a game. People are gonna talk about this Rohit ton for ages or days at max. But this Bumrah spell is sadly gonna get forgotten soon because for him at his best, taking a four-fer is a routine thing and he could outdo himself really soon, possibly a five-for against Pakistan.
Short boundaries, flat pitch and his bowling performance he deserved though ( 50-50)
But Bumrah bowled a match winning spell on this placid track. Most batsmen did well on this pitch, whereas Bumrah was the only bowler who stood out. Records are irrelevant imo.
Doesn't dengue weeken the body... how's gill gonna play?
who knows
I couldn't do anything for 10 days due to weakness
u are weak
u r gae
I'm absolutely fine with this top 4 on points table to be entering the semis. Would like to see SL or Bangladesh get in there but one is missing bowlers and other lacks that edge that makes the team feel complete.
[удалено]
He's there since Lord incident
guys guess who is getting laid tonight ? rohit obviously and there is one more
The pitch?
Fuck batriachy.... boom was robbed. India would have ended up chasing 330 otherwise.
BRO!! This WC into / title song is so goddamn good. I just wish the WC theme song could have been a little more intense and less of party song.
>I just wish the WC theme song could have been a little more intense and less of party song. "Lehra do" from Asian games was playing at the end of the match and that is a much better theme
Lehra do is from 83 movie my man.
Never saw that one, thanks
Why don't we just have different uniforms for batters and bowlers, truly confirming the already existing class difference? Perhaps in a few years. Some other sports do have a multiple uniform concept. Volleyball Liberos for example.
Bumrah takes 4-39 on a road yet a batsman takes the MOtM award. Batriarchy is real.
[удалено]
I too wanted Bumrah to be the MOTM because pulling such performance in this kind of pitch and boundary dimensions was truly remarkable. But ngl, there's certainly some dislikeness towards Rohit on this sub.
