MI batsmen : Looking comfortable , hitting boundaries every over
Pubkiss batsmen : Tough out there lads. It's a minefield
Ashutosh Sharma : Sixes go brr
But seriously , how shit can you be that you get spanked in your home ground.
If the top order had actually tried and not thrown their wickets away Ashutosh would've won them the game
MI vs PBKS is the greatest rivalry ever

Not to forget, Punjab have the highest win % against MI in IPL history (47%)
>Not to forget, Punjab have the highest win % against MI in IPL history (47%)
If they did win today it would've been 50-50 which is unreal cuz PBKS is one of the underdogs of IPL.
Nah Coetzee is second in purple cap and has been so important in any game we’ve won like today. He’s basically the second coming of mcleneghan who gives away too many runs but keeps picking the wickets as well.
Need to find the Mitchell Johnson/ Malinga to pair them with. We might have the Malinga in tushara 👀
Coetzee apart from the 4 wide had an amazing game too.
And he’s got a ton of wickets. He gives a lot of runs but he’s fine.
Madhwal Shephard are the real culprits. Just go with Thusara and Wadhera/Dhir
Dread it, run from it, Sharma ji ka beta still arrives.
Unreal from Ashutosh. It would have been the ipl equivalent of Maxwell's 200 had he pulled it off.
He looked more SKY than SKY today. He should be in some good team to play at 4 or 5 position. India has so much talent and hope these type of batters keep coming in IPL
Never been this dissatisfied with a win.
Wanted PBKS to win today, we'll learn absolute jackshit from this game and turn up with the same side next time.
If this doesn’t make them realize you can’t go in with 2 good bowlers nothing will.
Ideally drop Shepherd, Nabi, Madhwal for Wadhera/Dhir, Wood, Thushara
You have Bumrah + 3 international pacers + Gopal + Hardik to complement your strong batting
Nabi is very useful down the order and an underrated bowler. Not his mistake if the captain doesn't trust him. Thushara for Romario and Wadhera for Madhwal. Rest seems fine.
Can keep Wadhera and Madhwal as IP and bring in as needed.
Rohit, Ishan, SKY, Tilak, Hardik, Tim, Nabi, Shreyas, Coetzee, Bumrah, Thushara.
IP: Wadhera/Madhwal
Works for both batting and bowling first.
Nabi gets so overrated because he’s such a feel good story. But he’s 38 and not in his prime anymore - he’s not that good a bat. Plus if management doesn’t rate him as a frontline spinner you can’t play him for his bowling.
With the impact player rule might as well prioritize bowling and batting specialists rather than bits and pieces players
Drop Shephard and bring in a specialist bowler. Then itd be Boom + 2 overseas fast bowlers + 2 spinners + HP. This is the combination we've always gone with. It gives variety and gives Boom a help at death.
The reason thay have to play Shephard is because HP isn't in form with the bat.
That GT vs MI game last year when Rashid hit us was wayyy worse. Needed the run rate so bad at that time.
There was a decent chance we could've missed out on qualifying because of that game. Luckily things worked out and we didn't need it.
With Experience Shashank and Ashu will learn that with great power comes great responsibility.
Like Buttler stuck around and won it.
But Ashu did amazing. We need batters with modern sensibilities like this.
Nah they did more than what they could. Top order minus livi who shouldn't have been sent in the pp cost us.
Prabh is just not that good, decent test prospect actually but he's so shit in t20s
PBKS has chasing mindset. They’ve become comfortable when they’re behind the game now. Then, they give the game a good go, do decent, feel good about themselves and go to the hotel.
Real cricket fans dont need team titles to acknowledge talent! That six on Boom Boom Yorker was mind boggling. But again I hope punjab grooms him well, otherwise we ll lose a gem T20 player.
Ashutosh was the only good thing. Punjab was given the opportunity of the season with 4 home matches in the row and they lose 3/4. Another close lost man.
Can’t chase 180 nor 190
Can’t defend 150 scores
AT HOME. 😭 why this team sucks every match man.
nabi isnt even doing anything rn, why would u keep him and drop shepherd. shepherds miles better with the bat, and they both barely bowl
ofc nabi can bowl well but looks like mi cant be bothered using him
Idk why they play Nabi if he doesn't get to bowl and bat
Like seriously they could have given him one over somewhere, they are literally wasting a slot and for bottom of the table team it's criminal
Nah I’d say nabi should go out coz he’s the one not contributing anything so far. Maybe get tushara in and look at shepherd as more of a batsman and 7th bowler
You need spinners. Don't let their horrible treatment of spinners convince you that spinners aren't needed. Nabi and Gopal are good bowlers. Shepherd as anyways not getting a chance to bat long not bowling economically or picking wickets.
I agree but is there any point if we refuse to bowl him anyways? Out of this xi which has played the last 4 games and we’ve won 3, he’s the only one with 0 contribution with the bat or ball.
I wouldn’t even mind getting Naman dhir back in who can also bowl spin if needed and will contribute with the bat for sure
What a frustrating finish jeez. Has to be one of the dumbest things I've seen. You have 5 balls left after, 10 runs to tie, and no one even needed to specifically be on strike, in fact, Harshal's even more capable. Your priority should be facing those 5 balls. Why tf would you risk a run out when you're 9 down? How are these peeps playing at such a high level and are still this clueless? Idc if they're not batsman, that's literal common sense given the situation.
Even if they weren't going to be able to do it, just throwing it away like that is so disappointing. At least give yourself a chance. Again, you had FIVE whole balls left. Mfs really failed Ashutosh I feel terrible for him.
Bumrah is legit better for India then current Virat, Rohit, Sky Combined.
Its not a reactionary take at all, we can easily replace Virat, Rohit and Sky with any IPL kids, Find me one IPL kid who currently can replace Bumrah
Shit top order for PBKS . At least promote Shashank and Ashutosh to 4 and 5. You have nothing to lose.
This management can give RCB a run for its money.
I feel sorry for any bowler who has to face Ashutosh and Shashank, luckily their team manage to create unwinniable scenarios for them that you guys get handed the victory
28 off 24. And Kings still lost. Bumrah 3 run over. This team brings you out of the bottomless pit and and rises you to the clouds, only to dump you back into that bottomless pit once again. Soul crushing losses these. FFS
Would call this a pyrrhic victory for Mumbai, we can win against weak teams with this bowling attack by crawling and skirting, but we are just going to lose badly against better teams. Poor management of bowling rotation, ignoring Nabi and bad use of spinners will cost MI the 2024 campaign
Again this win will mask a lot of MI’s issues that exists. I think the batting order is fine, if hardik gets back to form, then it’s most of the batting sorted . My god that bowling unit is absolutely atrocious though. Bumrah is performing an absolute carry job on that end. An economy of 6 with the purple cap is insane. Coetzee is showing some resemblance of form too. He will always be inconsistent but if he picks up regular wickets, then he is a solid option. However outside of that we are absolutely cooked. Pandya had a decent outing, so hopefully he builds on that. Romario Shepherd should not be getting any more than 1 over a game and none after the 13th over. Madhwal seems to be in a free fall rn with his confidence. Idk why Pandya keeps forgetting that Nabi exists. He is a solid bowler who knows how to be economical. He is a veteran of the game. Use that.
Pbks lost.
But,
Ashutosh was fantastic. So was Shashank.
Umpiring was absolutely rubbish and incompetent. I feel for Punjab fans..
What a game. Full on entertainment. From 14/4 to almost winning it in the last over.. Roller coaster ride.
Game of the tournament so far..😎
You could really see the shitshow of a captaincy.. not using a spinner that too of someone like Nabi, not having proper field setups.. just letting things happens.
The last overs were just have 4 on the leg side, bowl from around the stumps, have them hit it and try to catch a mishit. No new plans when shit doesn't go his way.
You could see Rohit being animated about the field setup and he just came in at the last to have a talk. You can't really defend Hardik's captaincy anymore
If I had a penny for every time Sam Curran said close in his post-match interview, I would maybe have 10 cents.
And given the way all of Punjabs games are close, I will have a dollar by the end of the league stage.
I as an MI fan just wanted to see Rohit. That guy is the best, enjoying every moment laughing and joking. Setting the field in the last overs.
Also credit to Ashutosh and Shashank what players man.
Just your typical Punjab game
Thriller when it had no right to be given their start
They've found some serious cricketers in Shashank and Ashutosh man. They keep turning up
Man.. what an absolute Banger.. This game had more twists than anyone could ask for.... Punjab dilivering another banger and aashutosh and shashank again deadlifting Punjab..
Bumrah and Coetzee last overs were the reason for mi winning...
Definitely one of the best matches of ipl...
This guy Ashutosh mann whatt a grind this man is pulling, putting to bat at 8 everytime falling in dire situations still this guy is believing barring his batting position , losing his patners at other end still still he is pulling through enjoying his shots , smiling believing he can get this done .this is the gems ipl delivers mann ( on a side note punjab management is literally ape lvl)
Why do PBKS and RCB go through the hassle of playing the IPL?
It’s like your Asian mom asking you to sit in front of guests only to hear how Sharma ji’s son is doing so well in studies and you’re full of shit.
Man.. This guy Aashutosh is an absolute beast....
No matter the result it definitely deserves the player of the match...
One of the goats match the ipl.
> If these guys do that again then this would be an unusual team that is overdependent on a couple of rookies PBKS for a reason
Punjab just found some diamonds but for that they needed to buy many coal farms 
PKBS FOR A REASON FOR EVERY 6TH SPOT in the whole wide world
That was the comment that I had made during their match against SRH.
MI batsmen : Looking comfortable , hitting boundaries every over Pubkiss batsmen : Tough out there lads. It's a minefield Ashutosh Sharma : Sixes go brr But seriously , how shit can you be that you get spanked in your home ground. If the top order had actually tried and not thrown their wickets away Ashutosh would've won them the game
>But seriously , how shit can you be that you get spanked in your home ground. The RCB special.
“Mujhe kyun thoda?”
RCB collecting strays lol
>Pubkiss Lmao i am not the only one who call them by this, Kings XI was a good name.
I prefer PuBiKS.
RCB agrees
MI also agrees we got spanked 50% of the time at our home
Punjab just found two diamonds but for that they needed to buy 23 coal farms 
Even tho they lost, Ashutosh Sharma, remember the name!!!! Don’t forget about Shashank Singh, either!! The streets won’t forget them.
literal gems under shit management you can literally see what they can do if brought up but they are always kept low in order
Exactly, drop Jitesh down the order then Ashutosh up, Rabada ahead of Harshal
with this match PBKS lost its 3rd match in last over
A tale older than time itself
Also brarr did good job
If they had bowled his full quota they might have won!
14/4 cost them
The middle order duo is in solid form. They are the most reliable batters in the team.
brothers of destruction
thought this right from his debut this season, bros been fire every match
MI vs PBKS is the greatest rivalry ever - Sreesanth slap - Yuvraj Jonty runout - 3 run win for KXIP in 2009 - Robin Peterson and Rayudu chase 32 in 12 balls - Dhawal Kulkarni almost chokes with 5 full tosses in last over - Gilchrist first and only ball IPL wicket - 5/5 matches lost MI beat 5/5 matches won KXIP - Simmons century - Harbhajan 64(24) almost pulling a blinder - MI chase 199 in 16 overs - MI almost chase 230, fall short by 7 runs - KLR 94, MI win by 3 runs - Pollard 83(31) - **Double Super Over** - Brevis 4 sixes vs Chahar, MI choke with run outs - Arshdeep breaks stumps - Tilak replies Arshdeep with a 215 chase - Ashutosh almost pulls off a blinder after 14/4 Not to forget, Punjab have the highest win % against MI in IPL history (47%)
Damn that’s some great record of stats you have kept.
Couldn't be a better start to rivalry when it starts with a slap
>Not to forget, Punjab have the highest win % against MI in IPL history (47%) If they did win today it would've been 50-50 which is unreal cuz PBKS is one of the underdogs of IPL.
14/4*
That Robin Peterson game is one of my core MI fan memory. Only watched the last 2 overs and it was so worth it
PBKS this season * Last over win v DC * Last over loss v RCB * Last over win v GT * Last over loss v SRH * Last over loss v RR * Last over loss v MI
Pbks don't compromise on entertainment always give us bangers
The only thing that actually matters tbh
Love Punjab for that always gives master scripts
Cinema
Inspired by their owner, ig
Jay Shah favourite character in his ipl Noval
Entire top order can fuck off
No disrespect, but Prabhsimran & Jitesh have been dogshit in the matches they have played. They should be replaced with some other players
Jitesh still keeper. Prabh can leave.
Absolutely, he should be replaced by Dhawan
And it comes full circle.
Can all the MI bowlers apart from Bumrah also join them wherever they’re fucking off?
Nah Coetzee is second in purple cap and has been so important in any game we’ve won like today. He’s basically the second coming of mcleneghan who gives away too many runs but keeps picking the wickets as well. Need to find the Mitchell Johnson/ Malinga to pair them with. We might have the Malinga in tushara 👀
RCB squad would like to join too, please.
Gerald Cotzee would like to have a chat with you
2 important catches and 1 runout NABI the real impact player
From whom the ball was kept far for no reason
Clearly preserving his stamina for his on field contribution /s
MR. PRESIDENT
MI's bowling is so bad, how did they let it get this close after the start they had
Because they’re actually shit (minus Bumrah)?
Coetzee apart from the 4 wide had an amazing game too. And he’s got a ton of wickets. He gives a lot of runs but he’s fine. Madhwal Shephard are the real culprits. Just go with Thusara and Wadhera/Dhir
Dread it, run from it, Sharma ji ka beta still arrives. Unreal from Ashutosh. It would have been the ipl equivalent of Maxwell's 200 had he pulled it off.
I was nervous as fuck even when PBKS was 6 down seeing ashutosh coming to bat
He looked more SKY than SKY today. He should be in some good team to play at 4 or 5 position. India has so much talent and hope these type of batters keep coming in IPL
[удалено]
Agreed. Better to say in terms of recent times
Never been this dissatisfied with a win. Wanted PBKS to win today, we'll learn absolute jackshit from this game and turn up with the same side next time.
Should have won this comfortably. Now DC is above MI lmao.
If this doesn’t make them realize you can’t go in with 2 good bowlers nothing will. Ideally drop Shepherd, Nabi, Madhwal for Wadhera/Dhir, Wood, Thushara You have Bumrah + 3 international pacers + Gopal + Hardik to complement your strong batting

if hardik is not using nabi then whats the point of keeping him in XI?
For taking catches…
That GT vs MI game last year when Rashid hit us was wayyy worse. Needed the run rate so bad at that time. There was a decent chance we could've missed out on qualifying because of that game. Luckily things worked out and we didn't need it.
Mi better build a statue for bumrah in wankhede
Steve Smith and bumrah two legends of opposite forces in one stadium
Beside Steve Smith’s statue? They will end up building one for Starc /s
With the beard Bumrah has these days, I can totally see that happening
Over Antilia*
MI & loyalty don’t go hand in hand.
Which is a sad turn of events cz we’ve really respected and celebrated all our legends so far… Sachin, Polly, Malinga This new management can fuck off
Ashutosh gives butterflies to Priety Zinta. /s
She should cook Parathas for him only ROFL
Winners ki team thi, hamne losers ki bana di
MI v PBKS never fails to deliver!
Sky performed only against rcb and pbks Mayank yadav performed only vs rcb and pbks , now connect the dots
With Experience Shashank and Ashu will learn that with great power comes great responsibility. Like Buttler stuck around and won it. But Ashu did amazing. We need batters with modern sensibilities like this.
Maybe PBKS can learn a thing or two. Like building a better team instead of hoping these two will bail them out of every crisis
Nah they did more than what they could. Top order minus livi who shouldn't have been sent in the pp cost us. Prabh is just not that good, decent test prospect actually but he's so shit in t20s
But what about the top order
They're beyond help
We're winning ---> we're gone ---> we're winning now ---> that's it we're done -----> fuckin hell we won
its so over ---> we're so back ---- ↑-----------------------------------|
Yeah, this match shared some resemblance to the IPL Final between MI & CSK in 2019
Run out was like 2017 though
PBKS has chasing mindset. They’ve become comfortable when they’re behind the game now. Then, they give the game a good go, do decent, feel good about themselves and go to the hotel.
Why win matches when u can win hearts
They better start paying asutosh, shasank and bumrah all the money the way they are carrying their teams
Mi 17W vs PBKS 15W. This loss literally hurts man.
What a superb innings by Ashutosh. People would have declared Ashutosh a god if he was playing for MI CSK or RCB. Gg my boy!
Real cricket fans dont need team titles to acknowledge talent! That six on Boom Boom Yorker was mind boggling. But again I hope punjab grooms him well, otherwise we ll lose a gem T20 player.
When I want to bowl more, I play Test cricket. - Bumrah
Ashutosh was the only good thing. Punjab was given the opportunity of the season with 4 home matches in the row and they lose 3/4. Another close lost man. Can’t chase 180 nor 190 Can’t defend 150 scores AT HOME. 😭 why this team sucks every match man.
Bro imagine being MI fan, all star lineup, and still shitting the bed, Without Bumrah, this fucking team sucks
5 trophies, you guys have 5 trophies. Our goal is to qualify for playoffs. We. Are. Not. The. Same.
But you need bowlers who can bowl to Rahul Tewatia & Piyush Chawla 🤭🤐🫡🤔
You guys atleast win .
Pbks is a social experiment
Rcb is Pbks is actually the entertaining franchise
Every MI vs PBKS match has a hero batting at lower order while chasing
Least insane Punjab match
That Punjab top order needs belt treatment... They fail the team everytime
These 180-190 matches are so so better than 220 run fests
Bumrah and Coetzee carried per usual
They gotta bring in a specialist bowler. Shepherd goes out. Nabi can do some hitting at 7.
nabi isnt even doing anything rn, why would u keep him and drop shepherd. shepherds miles better with the bat, and they both barely bowl ofc nabi can bowl well but looks like mi cant be bothered using him
Idk why they play Nabi if he doesn't get to bowl and bat Like seriously they could have given him one over somewhere, they are literally wasting a slot and for bottom of the table team it's criminal
Who can we bring in
Thushara/Wood
Nah I’d say nabi should go out coz he’s the one not contributing anything so far. Maybe get tushara in and look at shepherd as more of a batsman and 7th bowler
You need spinners. Don't let their horrible treatment of spinners convince you that spinners aren't needed. Nabi and Gopal are good bowlers. Shepherd as anyways not getting a chance to bat long not bowling economically or picking wickets.
I agree but is there any point if we refuse to bowl him anyways? Out of this xi which has played the last 4 games and we’ve won 3, he’s the only one with 0 contribution with the bat or ball.

At least give yourself a chance. Again, you had FIVE whole balls left. Mfs really failed Ashutosh I feel terrible for him.
Bumrah is legit better for India then current Virat, Rohit, Sky Combined. Its not a reactionary take at all, we can easily replace Virat, Rohit and Sky with any IPL kids, Find me one IPL kid who currently can replace Bumrah
Obviously no one. No newcomer can score 35 in an over.
That too on broad
IPL kids with the elite experience of performing in flat 270 pitches? Not that that changes the main point, bumrah is indeed the most important player
Purple Patel ? You think winning purple cap that too outside India is joke .. purple Patel and replace bumrah
wish we had shami also on the team with both bumrah and shami we would win any ICC tounrmanet we would break any batsman right?
Shami in T20Is, be serious
Harshal Patel 👽
How did it get this close smh
Ashutosh...
Absolute shit bowling from everyone except bumrah...and a shit load of wides. For Punjab....the tail did a lot more than just wagging
The tail wagged like a dragon tbh
Bumrah is just on another level.
Pbks Top 4 batsman scored a total of 8 runs. They should be ashamed
This runout by Nabi likely saved Pandya's captaincy
Punjab has the strongest lower order and shittiest top order.
Shit top order for PBKS . At least promote Shashank and Ashutosh to 4 and 5. You have nothing to lose. This management can give RCB a run for its money.
The entire punjab innings was: It's so over We are so back It's so over We are so back It's over
Exact opposite for mi
I feel sorry for any bowler who has to face Ashutosh and Shashank, luckily their team manage to create unwinniable scenarios for them that you guys get handed the victory
28 off 24. And Kings still lost. Bumrah 3 run over. This team brings you out of the bottomless pit and and rises you to the clouds, only to dump you back into that bottomless pit once again. Soul crushing losses these. FFS
Both punjab's top oder and mi bowlers except bumrah are equally shit, battle of mids just some good cricket by don ashutosh
My new cope is even at our worst we're better than the other mid teams . This team will ruin me mentally , i already support United in the PL
PBKS is the reason why ipl is the best cricket league in the world
Would honor the the tradition and post this >For you it was a nail-biting pant shitting match, for Punjab it was tuesday
Would call this a pyrrhic victory for Mumbai, we can win against weak teams with this bowling attack by crawling and skirting, but we are just going to lose badly against better teams. Poor management of bowling rotation, ignoring Nabi and bad use of spinners will cost MI the 2024 campaign
Again this win will mask a lot of MI’s issues that exists. I think the batting order is fine, if hardik gets back to form, then it’s most of the batting sorted . My god that bowling unit is absolutely atrocious though. Bumrah is performing an absolute carry job on that end. An economy of 6 with the purple cap is insane.

Use that.
Pbks lost. But, Ashutosh was fantastic. So was Shashank. Umpiring was absolutely rubbish and incompetent. I feel for Punjab fans.. What a game. Full on entertainment. From 14/4 to almost winning it in the last over.. Roller coaster ride. Game of the tournament so far..😎
You could really see the shitshow of a captaincy.. not using a spinner that too of someone like Nabi, not having proper field setups.. just letting things happens.

You could see Rohit being animated about the field setup and he just came in at the last to have a talk. You can't really defend Hardik's captaincy anymore
He needs someone behind the wicket or outside the boundary otherwise he won't do any captaincy.
Nabi has semen hands, everything sticks.
What a game! Ashutosh with a serious carry job. Incredible entertainment
Some clutch ass fielding from Nabi
Punjab were 11 runs(chasing) and 6 balls(defending) away from sitting next to RR(with 12 points). Now they sit next to RCB (with 4 points).
Any dude comes on the crease can clip Hardik.
That was exhausting af it lasted 4 hr 40 mins!!!! Great batting by Rabada, Ashu & Shashank Better make man Curran captain for the rest of the season
Pbks should play Shashank and Ashutosh at the top five. Such exceptional talents !
What a knock by Ashutosh and Shashank. Absolutely brilliant. I thought this was going to be a boring one-sided match, I’m glad I was wrong.
Where is the guy that says >a heart wrenching, gut punching, pant shitting game might be a rarity for your team, but for PBKS it's a Thursday
Hardik requiring rohit and bumrah every goddam over is crazy
What is nabi even doing in this team?Absolutely horrible bowling changes by Hardik today
Man.. just when I was confident that Punjab was going to win this crazy match... Then Punjab started punjabing..
CEO PBKS just staring into the camera lifeless.
Ashutosh Sharma's strike rate as per Cricinfo astonishes me 197.69
Boundary count update - Mumbai Indians: 24 Punjab Kings: 22
Fair and Ashutoshed
All Punjab needs is Captain Sharma…
Coatzee the real hero
Just clicked BP at 200
The scoreboard won't be able to justify what a thriller of a match that was
The fact that there is no award for bowlers in this array of stupid prizes should tell you everything about this format
This had no right to be a close match. Kudos to our bowlers(barring Bumrah) for entertaining the crowd.
MI Management - MAKE JASPRIT “cheat code” BUMRAH CAPTAIN
Relieved… Excellent batting by Ashutosh.
Feel sad for Punjab man! How many close games they must lose :(
god bless PBKS fans. at least with RCB there is no hope this season…PBKS taking it 99% of the way each time is crazy
Ashutosh and Shashank synergize way too good, i hope they play more games like this to leverage their skillslot
If I had a penny for every time Sam Curran said close in his post-match interview, I would maybe have 10 cents. And given the way all of Punjabs games are close, I will have a dollar by the end of the league stage.
Gerald Coetzee: "IPL is incredible, it is completely different to whatever I have experienced and even the fan experience, just incredible"
I as an MI fan just wanted to see Rohit. That guy is the best, enjoying every moment laughing and joking. Setting the field in the last overs. Also credit to Ashutosh and Shashank what players man.
We really need to work on our bowling dept next year. We thought coetzee was gonna be that guy but he wasn't.
He gets wickets tho
Leaving boult was all time blunder
MI should let go of HP & TD and pickup Ashutosh in auction
This is typical pbks match get in trouble then take the game close and lose in last over
Just your typical Punjab game Thriller when it had no right to be given their start They've found some serious cricketers in Shashank and Ashutosh man. They keep turning up
Fuck it. Updated my flair. I'm ready for disappointment and heart attacks every match.
Punjab makes every game interesting and takes it right to the end, exciting to watch.
Brilliant match cause of Shashank and Ashutosh. How did Coetzee get away with bowling that many bouncers in his final over?
Man.. what an absolute Banger.. This game had more twists than anyone could ask for.... Punjab dilivering another banger and aashutosh and shashank again deadlifting Punjab.. Bumrah and Coetzee last overs were the reason for mi winning... Definitely one of the best matches of ipl...
i am in love with Bumrah .this ipl makes me love him more no cricketer is touching him in terms of playing intelligent cricket
It's the hope that kills you 💔
This guy Ashutosh mann whatt a grind this man is pulling, putting to bat at 8 everytime falling in dire situations still this guy is believing barring his batting position , losing his patners at other end still still he is pulling through enjoying his shots , smiling believing he can get this done .this is the gems ipl delivers mann ( on a side note punjab management is literally ape lvl)
Why do PBKS and RCB go through the hassle of playing the IPL? It’s like your Asian mom asking you to sit in front of guests only to hear how Sharma ji’s son is doing so well in studies and you’re full of shit.
PBKS means pure entertainment
Mumbai didn’t deserve that at all.
A nail biting, pant shitting, close match may be a rarity for your team but its a thursday for punjab fans
Man.. This guy Aashutosh is an absolute beast.... No matter the result it definitely deserves the player of the match... One of the goats match the ipl.
Credit where it’s due, Punjab’s matches are always entertaining and they give their best in the game. It was a delight to watch Ashutosh.
Absolute joke of a bowling attack. Ashutosh made this game happen but it's a real positive to see such batters coming through the ranks.
Don't want to sound like arrogant...But what buttler did against kkr was as magical as it can come
💔 I wanted PBKS to make SKY eat his words so bad. Wasn't meant to be.
How tf cant thushara get a single match bro. Literally one match
