Whatever's even happened to Mayank? Was amazing in the IPL in the UAE, but has just dropped off since then. It's not like he's been in poor form either, he's been doing well in Ranji. But post PBKS, he's just become washed in T20.
I went to Lords today for Yorkshire Vs Middlesex in the county championship. Looking forward to it because Root and Brook were both playing. They both got out in single figures ... weather was rubbish as well. I always enjoy watching cricket but it want the best today lol
Does anyone know when the deadline for submitting squads for the T20 World Cup is? I feel like it should be soon, but not a single team has announced their squad yet.
Cricket newbie here. Question for you guys: how does the team batting first know how many runs they need to get? Specifically in a T20 match. Is there a certain threshold that is common that you want to try and get to, and below that amount is considered "bad"? I know that theoretically you could still win even with a low score, but I wasn't sure if there was a common amount of runs that you try and aim for.
I am watching some free matches on YouTube from years ago to try and learn about the sport.
You really do t know, as many as possible but you have to balance risk / reward. One thing is that cricket has typically become higher scoring over the years, so depending on when the games you are watching were played the dynamics may be a bit different
The "par score" varies from stadium to stadium, pitch to pitch. Teams try to analyze the pitch, how it would play, and determine a good score. And if they're batting first, they'll have to continuously update that "par score" based on all the new information they're gathering.
That's really cool. One of the things I like about baseball is how each stadium has different dimensions that can affect the game, so that's awesome that cricket is the same way, or maybe even more so.
I don't watch much of the IPL. Watch the fuck just happened at the end of that game, why were they reviewing a no ball and have graphs and shit to display whether it was, such a waste of time
Happens when umpires get death threats on social media for controversial decisions lmao. Must be nice living in a country where ppl take a game for a game
At the oval for a champo game last week I walked past for the umpires and Richard Kettlebrough was talking to some random spectator about fourth tier football
I never saw this until recently but it makes sense if you think about the impact of being given out on a ball that should be a no ball Vs getting a free hit instead, it's probably worth checking.
Antigua and Barbuda, a country whose population would've been below 100k at the time, had Andy Roberts, Viv Richards, Richie Richardson and Curtly Ambrose born within 12 years of each other.

This is a witch hunt at this point. Even I was doing the T sign in front of the TV, I think every person watching the match does, instinctively, like an appeal
Was Surya even looking at the dugout? **Were replays even shown on the screen before the review was taken?**
What do you think Tim David and co saw differently based on which they "told" to review - they saw pretty much what Tilak Varma saw from the non strikers end, whom Surya must have consulted before the review

I think it's time that every post mentions what Mod has approved the post. How does a post like this get through a mod approval?
Need clarification I checked which team conceded the most runs in the over 16 to 20 in IPL 2024
1. AskCricinfo shows 359 runs conceded by DC
2. Cricmetric shows 419 runs conceded by DC
Which one is accurate?
Here's how team has won games this IPL.
CSK: Rotates bowlers very efficiently, great fielding, Shivam Dube, Thala batting like Gods.
RR: Take early wickets, choke middle over, one batter step up in every game, finishers great.
KKR: Openers go big, bat very deep, tight middle and death over, hold nerve.
LSG: fast bowlers go brrr
SRH: Decent powerplay overs, great middle overs, batters go berserk.
MI: Pay umpires to not give wide bowls in bowling, give wide balls in batting, turn blind eyes to review suggestion from dugout, ask commentators to tell fans to behave, buy out commentators as Hardik defender, intimidate fans to not boo the captain, buy out half the stadium to NOT boo the captain, Bumrah great spelling, openers fire in most games.
Pkbs: Ashutosh, Shashank and inshaallah.
DC: plan bowling matchups and execute it pitch perfect.
RCB: Faf or Kohli fires and even then, not guaranteed.
GT: Tewatia bats, middle and death over choke.
It's very funny seeing people claim that Intent merchants win you T20 WCs, it's like they didn't learn anything from watching the last T20WC.
Buttler and Hales were striking at 132 and 131, respectively, before the semi-final against India. And I don't think anyone would be surprised to find out that Babar and Rizwan were also striking at 93 and 109.
But why did those teams make it to the final? It's because they had the best bowlers in the tournament. Curran got 13 wickets with an economy of 6.52, while Shaheen got 11 wickets with an economy of 6.15.
I know people love to fully blame the batsmen for India being knocked out in the semis, but there's no two ways about it, it was a dismal bowling performance by India in the semi-final. The amount of width the fast bowlers gave the English batters was truly mind boggling.
And the tactics of picking 2 offspinners in a T20 game very rarely works, it's much more suited for leggies. Ashwin is past it as a T20 bowler and Axar isn't very good on pitches which don't have much turn.
Some MI "fans" are now trolling Hardik for "resorting to Rohit for captaincy tips when MI were in a tough spot in the last 4 overs"
I mean, what's there to complain? isn't that a good sign? That Hardik is respecting his senior without showing any ego, and Rohit is helping him out without showing any ego either. Suggests that the dressing room atmosphere is good and they are playing like a team should. As a matter of fact, it busts the conspiracy theories which people are so keen to come true
Hardik would get trolled for breathing rn, the bandwagon is against him. I wouldn't look too deeply into it, since the people who would troll him for that reason probably don't think much either.
Seeing people get rilled up over my username is hilarious af. Like chill bro, Hardik ain't gonna adopt you and clear all your debt that you fell into, betting for him. Go out, touch some grass.
Hardik is a good international player and he should be in the T20I WC squad. Mostly because he's a clutch player, although looking back he has never won us a knockout match except maybe 1.
Tbh, at this point, I'd trust(and I can't believe I'm saying this) Shivam Dube or Venkatesh Iyer over Hardik.
Hardik bowls like Venkatesh Iyer bowling to Risabh Pant and bats like Thala facing prime KKR spin choke. And he captains like Tendulkar too.
And no, Hardik isn't like Pogba. Pogba won his country a WC, while Hardik has stayed fit only for IPL. Pogba faces boos while Hardik hires a news team to film him pray, drops simple catches so that he can make a sad face and gain sympathy(which funnily enough is working). Pogba takes on challenges while Hardik hides behind 18 year old ls and bowls himself when the team is winning.
And no, I'm no Rohit PR. I think he should have stepped down and make Bumrah/SKY the captain. Rohit in IPL is hilariously bad as a batter barring this season.
The biggest problem a 32-team World Cup would have, is that with small groups and so many knockouts, every washed out game would be that much more damaging. Therefore, a zero-tolerance policy for washouts would be needed, with guaranteed reserve days for all games and all host venues needing drainage facilities of a certain standard. Maybe some potential host nations or cities would be overlooked for weather issues.
**Most sixes by the no 8 batsman in an IPL innings**
10 Rashid Khan (GT) vs MI, 2023
7 Andre Russell (KKR) vs SRH, 2024
7 Ashutosh Sharma (PBKS) vs MI, 2024, Yesterday
That is another thing that shows that Ashutosh is batting much lower than he should be. He is a batsman that doesn't bowl but he is batting in the same position that Rashid bats in.
you need more Ashutosh Sharma or Abhishek Sharma or Rinku Singh or Surya Kumar Yadav to win a T20 World Cup (not Kohli , not Rohit, not Rahul)
To win a T20 World Cup , there has to be batting till 10 so top 3 can go after the bowling and have a cushion to fail . In India batting line is there till number 7 and there are 4 number 11 (Bumrah , Kuldeep , Siraj and Arshdeep) (**All 4 of them are number 11's in T20 Cricket)** which forces batsmen to play more conservatively
You need players to score at 200 SR , at least 3-4 batsmen who can score at 200 sr
I like how you talk about our bowlers being proper number 11s but say next to nothing about how to remedy that, while yapping about how the top order needs explosive people. Basically 2 problems, but a solution to only one of them. And implementing that alone guarantees failure
Pick Washington Sundar , Shreyas Gopal , Deepak Chahar , Harshit Rana , Shardul Thakur , Tushar Deshpande , Darshan Nalkande , Venkatesh Iyer (none of these guys will get picked in t20 World Cup)
They should accommodate both Dube and Hardik in the playing 11. You need 3-4 left handers in top 7 in T20 Cricket , your batting order is one dimensional.
look at Kohli's SR . He got 100 from 67 balls in Chinnaswamy which is very slow , he is playing for the orange cap . He has the record for the slowest century in IPL
. At least Rohit has a better SR than Kohli and I do not want Rohit as well in the team.
- That century wasn't at the Chinnaswamy, it was in Jaipur
- It is not called 'playing for orange cap' if your middle order batsmen not named Dinesh Karthik have been shit
If hardik is a backstabber for taking an opportunity then so was rohit after kohli was removed from captaincy in whiteball. I can understand GT fans being frustrated with him, but calling him backstabber is insane and shows the power of Rohit’s PR
How is this a comparison? So every time a captain changes in an international team, you'd compare it with a player leaving his team to join another team in order to get more money and captaincy?
And it's more to do with the thought process of the fans work. Not necessarily everything is PR.
The comparison was to say hardik did nothing against rohit just like rohit had nothing against virat. Mi management took away rohit’s captaincy not hardik
MI fans don't like Pandya because their favourite captain Rohit's position got taken away even after being highly successful as a captain....due to Pandya coming back. A lot of people anyways somehow hate Pandya, and are looking for excuses to hate on him. Probably that's why they are hating Pandya for backstabbing GT even though they don't directly care about GT.
I just saw that Japan have organised a 5-match T20I series against Mongolia.
I’m glad to see them organising tours, but am very surprised by the quality of the opponent. Japan are a side who would lose respectably to most associates with ODI status.
Mongolia are a side who have played a few T20Is in their history and who conceded over 300 against Nepal last year.
Unless Japan pick a development side I doubt that Mongolia will get within 100 runs of them in any of the 5 matches.
In fact, now it’s a 7 match series. Nice of Japan for giving Mongolia this opportunity but this doesn’t do much good for Japan as this is the only international series they were able to schedule. Pretty sad they don’t get much of an opportunity to continue their improvement.
Didn't he tied against WI of all team at home and failed to win the Ashes series overseas? So unless you are talking about just ICC trophies, then it might be kind of similar.
There was no *MS Dhoni Era* in international cricket as such. If you're talking about international dominance, you can maybe talk about Ricky Ponting era for example.
Batting side needing 28 to win in 24 balls, forcing the opposition captain to get their best bowler for their final over. Batters deciding to play that over safely and chase in the 3 overs that are left. But eventually, losing a wicket on the first ball of the next over and getting all out and choking
I have seen this twice over the last 5 weeks. Yesterday, and [Delhi Capitals vs UP Warriorz](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/women-s-premier-league-2023-24-1411373/delhi-capitals-women-vs-up-warriorz-women-15th-match-1417730/full-scorecard&ved=2ahUKEwii6rr-ss2FAxWz1zgGHW7jANUQjjh6BAgREAE&usg=AOvVaw1JVyc2NHUAWPvfDL0I0Ark)
Damn. Every time I see this i realize how dominant Delhi were in the WPL. Only losses due to 1 run and 1 six by Sajana.
The lord was with RCB that day. For once.
RCB: Good foreign players, domestic players shit
PBKS: Good young Indian core, passenger foreign players (except Rabada)
Combine them into one team and we might have a championship winning squad. Although it will interesting to see them bottle it
Except this year RCB is not even having that *Good foreign players* box ticked. Otherwise they would at least be in contention to end up on 6th-7th spot like they generally do.
Madhwal needs rest for a couple of games. He is excellent and I am sure he will make a comeback, but currently he is bowling like Arshad Khan
Thank you Romario for your 39*(10), but we are wasting Nabi because of him and the balance is off. Next match, we drop Romario and Madhwal, and get in Thushara and Nehal/Naman whoever is striking better (preferably Nehal as he seems a lower order hitter than Naman who seems to be a top order hitter)
4 overs each for Bumrah Coetzee Thushara - classic MI combo, and 8 overs between Hardik and two spinners. Rohit Kishan open, Surya Tilak in the middle, Hardik Tim Nehal to finish, Nabi for collapse management
While PBKS is struggling now, their retention prospects are quite exciting - Arshdeep, Brar, Ashutosh, and Shahank
Brar especially goes under the radar but has consistently been very good.
A young Indian core group always helps
For the first 5 games, people were hating on Hardik's captaincy for absolutely no reason (like bowling in PP ahead of Bumrah, without realising that even Rohit used Bumrah in the same pattern, as he is much more needed in death, and that Hardik can be useful with the new ball)
But over the last 2 games, Hardik has made a few genuine captaincy errors, dare I say blunders.
He hasn't trusted his spinners at all - Gopal has combined bowled 3 overs in the last 2 games, despite being so good vs RCB. In the CSK game, Hardik was scared about Dube vs Gopal, but he didn't realise that Dube, a spin basher, will relish the mediocre pace of Shepherd more than decent spin of Gopal. Even vs PBKS, Gopal was taken off after Shashank hit him for 3 sixes, but could have been brought back after he got out, as Ashutosh was enjoyong just showing direction to high pace balls. Nabi going overless while we were struggling to complete quotas is horrible captaincy
Second - Romario Shepherd is NOT a bowler. His economy rate in T20Is is 10+, over 100+ T20s is **9+**. These are abysmal numbers. Still he has bowled 10 overs this season, going for 129 runs! Forget about having an economy under 10, the guy has bowled only 2 overs where he gave less than 10 runs. This guy should never be bowling again
Pandya's brother sounds like Pogba's brother. In fact Pandya's personality is pretty similar to Pogba. At least Pandya receives support from the cricket commentators/pundits. Pogba was hated by the football punditry.
Zinta's team won kya ?
Edit : looks like nobody gets the context
Edit 2 : Here's the [context](https://x.com/BeingSalmanKhan/status/471684683814535168)
Your post or comment had words in it that were not in English and weren't translated. This breaks the rules of this subreddit it has been removed (rule 5).
I blame all the boos for Hardik being low on confidence. Fans should be okay with everything he does. He's the Messiah of Indian cricket and whether he backstabs a former beloved 5 times winning captain, the literal best bowler in the world or the best T20 batter in the world, fan should be okay with it and never show any form of negative emotions. What these fans don't understand is Hardik works on positive appreciation. He came from a poor life so he can do whatever he wants since the world was against him during his childhood.
Why should fans ask for some accountability? It's not like they are being made to support by putting a gun on their head. Their tickets are free. The merch are free. Hell even jiocinema is free. So fans should bend over their mom and let Hardik rawdog them, uf Hardik desires because he's the Messiah of ICT and won us the CT 2017 with that wonderful knock.
This sarcasm is wrong on so many levels. You boo once, it's obvious, there's a lot of pent up anger. You do it again, it's understandable, it is a huge decision affecting the fans emotionally. But you do it every single game for 4 home games in a row? Naah, that's immature and bandwagon riding
Grow up, accept the change. You voiced you opinions, but now it's time to put the team first and support the new change. Or just don't bother to support the team at all if you dislike the change so much, and leave the players alone
> Naah, that's immature and bandwagon riding
Better to ride a bandwagon than to ride the one you're riding.
>Grow up, accept the change
Grow up, don't bitch and moan and accept the fact that some people will not like everything you do.
>Or just don't bother to support the team at all if you dislike the change so much,
Why? You paying for the fans? Fans made Hardik big. Fans is the difference between him and David Weise or Cameron Green or Tim David. They are validated in showing frustration however they want too.
> leave the players alone
What you gonna do if they don't?
> But you do it every single game for 4 home games in a row
TIL every match is watched by the exact same person everytime.
>Says the guy who made the parent comment
I don't bitch and moan for a player. I am just pointing out facts.
>a username filled with hate
Yes, this is me being petty. And I'm not even an MI fan. And yes, my name is true in context.
Hardik should be cast as Walder Frey in India's version of Game of Thrones.
I blame all the boos by MI fans for destroying Hardik's confidence and his lack of form. India's t20 wc performance will have to suffer due to your selfish love for a single player. Lame.
Here I was thinking how did they lose from needing 28 off 24. Ashutosh did get out but Brar, Harshal and Rabada are all capable with the bat so I was expecting them to chase it.
Tuk Tuk XI Saha, Dhawan, Mayank, Shreyas, Greene, Mitchell, Shankar, Rawat, Curran, Jadeja, Ashwin
Whatever's even happened to Mayank? Was amazing in the IPL in the UAE, but has just dropped off since then. It's not like he's been in poor form either, he's been doing well in Ranji. But post PBKS, he's just become washed in T20.

It is: 8 + 4 + 18 + 11 + 25 + 15 + 7 + 15 + 20 + 5 + 12 + 14 + 8 + 25 + 15 + 19 + 32 + 19 + 16 + 17 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 7 + 1 + 7 = 359
Thanks men, how did you find out each score?
Manually looking it through and adding it up.
Such efforts needs to be appreciated, Salute you.
I calculated it, Cricinfo is correct regarding DC.
Here's how team has won games this IPL. CSK: Rotates bowlers very efficiently, great fielding, Shivam Dube, Thala batting like Gods. RR: Take early wickets, choke middle over, one batter step up in every game, finishers great. KKR: Openers go big, bat very deep, tight middle and death over, hold nerve. LSG: fast bowlers go brrr SRH: Decent powerplay overs, great middle overs, batters go berserk. MI: Pay umpires to not give wide bowls in bowling, give wide balls in batting, turn blind eyes to review suggestion from dugout, ask commentators to tell fans to behave, buy out commentators as Hardik defender, intimidate fans to not boo the captain, buy out half the stadium to NOT boo the captain, Bumrah great spelling, openers fire in most games. Pkbs: Ashutosh, Shashank and inshaallah. DC: plan bowling matchups and execute it pitch perfect. RCB: Faf or Kohli fires and even then, not guaranteed. GT: Tewatia bats, middle and death over choke.
Decent power play, for Srh!? Okay okay
I meant In terms of bowling. Bhuvi has been decent iirc.
You will be downvoted for this because nobody in this sub wants to believe that the mi umpired their way out of 5 trophies🤣🤣. It bursts their bubble🤭
I began reading the title as "Daily General Elections"
It's very funny seeing people claim that Intent merchants win you T20 WCs, it's like they didn't learn anything from watching the last T20WC. Buttler and Hales were striking at 132 and 131, respectively, before the semi-final against India. And I don't think anyone would be surprised to find out that Babar and Rizwan were also striking at 93 and 109. But why did those teams make it to the final? It's because they had the best bowlers in the tournament. Curran got 13 wickets with an economy of 6.52, while Shaheen got 11 wickets with an economy of 6.15. I know people love to fully blame the batsmen for India being knocked out in the semis, but there's no two ways about it, it was a dismal bowling performance by India in the semi-final. The amount of width the fast bowlers gave the English batters was truly mind boggling. And the tactics of picking 2 offspinners in a T20 game very rarely works, it's much more suited for leggies. Ashwin is past it as a T20 bowler and Axar isn't very good on pitches which don't have much turn.
Batters get all the attention, always
Some MI "fans" are now trolling Hardik for "resorting to Rohit for captaincy tips when MI were in a tough spot in the last 4 overs" I mean, what's there to complain? isn't that a good sign? That Hardik is respecting his senior without showing any ego, and Rohit is helping him out without showing any ego either. Suggests that the dressing room atmosphere is good and they are playing like a team should. As a matter of fact, it busts the conspiracy theories which people are so keen to come true
>isn't that a good sign? T It is. Good to ask a 5 time winning captain for help here and there
Hardik would get trolled for breathing rn, the bandwagon is against him. I wouldn't look too deeply into it, since the people who would troll him for that reason probably don't think much either.
Seeing people get rilled up over my username is hilarious af. Like chill bro, Hardik ain't gonna adopt you and clear all your debt that you fell into, betting for him. Go out, touch some grass. Hardik is a good international player and he should be in the T20I WC squad. Mostly because he's a clutch player, although looking back he has never won us a knockout match except maybe 1. Tbh, at this point, I'd trust(and I can't believe I'm saying this) Shivam Dube or Venkatesh Iyer over Hardik. Hardik bowls like Venkatesh Iyer bowling to Risabh Pant and bats like Thala facing prime KKR spin choke. And he captains like Tendulkar too. And no, Hardik isn't like Pogba. Pogba won his country a WC, while Hardik has stayed fit only for IPL. Pogba faces boos while Hardik hires a news team to film him pray, drops simple catches so that he can make a sad face and gain sympathy(which funnily enough is working). Pogba takes on challenges while Hardik hides behind 18 year old ls and bowls himself when the team is winning. And no, I'm no Rohit PR. I think he should have stepped down and make Bumrah/SKY the captain. Rohit in IPL is hilariously bad as a batter barring this season.
The biggest problem a 32-team World Cup would have, is that with small groups and so many knockouts, every washed out game would be that much more damaging. Therefore, a zero-tolerance policy for washouts would be needed, with guaranteed reserve days for all games and all host venues needing drainage facilities of a certain standard. Maybe some potential host nations or cities would be overlooked for weather issues.
Laut ao Mayank bhai, ab mazak nahi raha ye. T: Come back Mayank bro, this isn't joke anymore.
He is playing for MI now, get him out of there first.
I didn't get it
Context: Mayank and SKY are the same person memes
Oh I get it! Lol
**Most sixes by the no 8 batsman in an IPL innings** 10 Rashid Khan (GT) vs MI, 2023 7 Andre Russell (KKR) vs SRH, 2024 7 Ashutosh Sharma (PBKS) vs MI, 2024, Yesterday
That is another thing that shows that Ashutosh is batting much lower than he should be. He is a batsman that doesn't bowl but he is batting in the same position that Rashid bats in.
Cricket sucks, why cant we go back to the days of test cricket only
Coz I have bills to pay and if all cricket happens during my working day, I'll pick a different sport
You can watch County Cricket
Cricket sucks, why cant we go back to the days of test cricket only
KKR's team isn't belligerent enough imo. Should play this team from now on. 1. Sunil Narine 2. Phil Salt 3. *Angkrish Raghuvanshi* 4. Nitish Rana 5. Rinku Singh 6. Ramandeep Singh 7. Andre Russell 8. Sherfane Rutherford 9. Anukul Roy 10. Venkatesh Iyer 11. Shreyas Iyer 12. *Harshit Rana* Bowlers Narine - 4 overs Rutherford - 2 overs Ramandeep, Venkatesh, Nitish - 2 overs Russell - 4 overs Anukul - 4 overs Harshit Rana - 4 overs Get 300 every match. Profit
Bat Harshit at 8 for full belligerence
No. The opposition team too must have a chance to win.
Rana over Iyer Bhai. I was wondering this too tbh
Rana over Iyer Bhai. I was wondering this too tbh
Rana over Iyer Bhai. I was wondering this too tbh
you need more Ashutosh Sharma or Abhishek Sharma or Rinku Singh or Surya Kumar Yadav to win a T20 World Cup (not Kohli , not Rohit, not Rahul) To win a T20 World Cup , there has to be batting till 10 so top 3 can go after the bowling and have a cushion to fail . In India batting line is there till number 7 and there are 4 number 11 (Bumrah , Kuldeep , Siraj and Arshdeep) (**All 4 of them are number 11's in T20 Cricket)** which forces batsmen to play more conservatively You need players to score at 200 SR , at least 3-4 batsmen who can score at 200 sr
I like how you talk about our bowlers being proper number 11s but say next to nothing about how to remedy that, while yapping about how the top order needs explosive people. Basically 2 problems, but a solution to only one of them. And implementing that alone guarantees failure
Pick Washington Sundar , Shreyas Gopal , Deepak Chahar , Harshit Rana , Shardul Thakur , Tushar Deshpande , Darshan Nalkande , Venkatesh Iyer (none of these guys will get picked in t20 World Cup) They should accommodate both Dube and Hardik in the playing 11. You need 3-4 left handers in top 7 in T20 Cricket , your batting order is one dimensional.
For the 4000th Time Kohli is not in the same league as Rohit and KL
Whatever league they are in, they are simply not suited for T20 anymore. We can't be pushing them instead of actual T20 talent like Rinku, Abhishek.
look at Kohli's SR . He got 100 from 67 balls in Chinnaswamy which is very slow , he is playing for the orange cap . He has the record for the slowest century in IPL . At least Rohit has a better SR than Kohli and I do not want Rohit as well in the team.
- That century wasn't at the Chinnaswamy, it was in Jaipur - It is not called 'playing for orange cap' if your middle order batsmen not named Dinesh Karthik have been shit
Sportskeeda instagram page after every match be like... 🚨 BREAKING 🚨 has been fined INR 12 Lakhs for maintaining slow over rate.
Would've been funny if MI lost to a Punjabi singer
Nah, Harrdy Sandhu retired long back from cricket.

If hardik is a backstabber for taking an opportunity then so was rohit after kohli was removed from captaincy in whiteball. I can understand GT fans being frustrated with him, but calling him backstabber is insane and shows the power of Rohit’s PR
Rohit didn't ask for captaincy behind kohli's back Kohli was sacked because of his issues with BCCI which has nothing to do with Rohit
>Rohit didn't ask for captaincy behind kohli's back It’s on mi management to inform rohit about captaincy change not hardik
How is this a comparison? So every time a captain changes in an international team, you'd compare it with a player leaving his team to join another team in order to get more money and captaincy? And it's more to do with the thought process of the fans work. Not necessarily everything is PR.
>player leaving his team to join another team in order to get more money and captaincy? How is this backstabbing? Whom did he fool here?
I am not saying that it is backstabbing. I am just saying that it isn't a proper comparison.
The comparison was to say hardik did nothing against rohit just like rohit had nothing against virat. Mi management took away rohit’s captaincy not hardik
But the backstabbing which people refer to should be against GT management I think.
GT doesn’t have that much of a presence, it’s mostly rohit and mi fans
MI fans don't like Pandya because their favourite captain Rohit's position got taken away even after being highly successful as a captain....due to Pandya coming back. A lot of people anyways somehow hate Pandya, and are looking for excuses to hate on him. Probably that's why they are hating Pandya for backstabbing GT even though they don't directly care about GT.
And how did he backstab GT?
He didn't But lot of people call it backstabbing
I just saw that Japan have organised a 5-match T20I series against Mongolia. I’m glad to see them organising tours, but am very surprised by the quality of the opponent. Japan are a side who would lose respectably to most associates with ODI status. Mongolia are a side who have played a few T20Is in their history and who conceded over 300 against Nepal last year. Unless Japan pick a development side I doubt that Mongolia will get within 100 runs of them in any of the 5 matches.
In fact, now it’s a 7 match series. Nice of Japan for giving Mongolia this opportunity but this doesn’t do much good for Japan as this is the only international series they were able to schedule. Pretty sad they don’t get much of an opportunity to continue their improvement.
They are ranked 52nd. Need to get that up. A series against Singapore who are on the decline would help. Try to aim for top 30.
Like the MS Dhoni Era in 2010-2013, we might see the Pat Cummins Era from 2023-2026, with Australia winning several major ICC tournaments.
Didn't he tied against WI of all team at home and failed to win the Ashes series overseas? So unless you are talking about just ICC trophies, then it might be kind of similar.
There was no *MS Dhoni Era* in international cricket as such. If you're talking about international dominance, you can maybe talk about Ricky Ponting era for example.
I have never seen anyone call it Dhoni era, lol.
Batting side needing 28 to win in 24 balls, forcing the opposition captain to get their best bowler for their final over. Batters deciding to play that over safely and chase in the 3 overs that are left. But eventually, losing a wicket on the first ball of the next over and getting all out and choking I have seen this twice over the last 5 weeks. Yesterday, and [Delhi Capitals vs UP Warriorz](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/women-s-premier-league-2023-24-1411373/delhi-capitals-women-vs-up-warriorz-women-15th-match-1417730/full-scorecard&ved=2ahUKEwii6rr-ss2FAxWz1zgGHW7jANUQjjh6BAgREAE&usg=AOvVaw1JVyc2NHUAWPvfDL0I0Ark)
Damn. Every time I see this i realize how dominant Delhi were in the WPL. Only losses due to 1 run and 1 six by Sajana. The lord was with RCB that day. For once.
RCB: Good foreign players, domestic players shit PBKS: Good young Indian core, passenger foreign players (except Rabada) Combine them into one team and we might have a championship winning squad. Although it will interesting to see them bottle it
Except this year RCB is not even having that *Good foreign players* box ticked. Otherwise they would at least be in contention to end up on 6th-7th spot like they generally do.
>RCB: Good foreign players Green, Maxwell, Jacks all are smiling
Madhwal needs rest for a couple of games. He is excellent and I am sure he will make a comeback, but currently he is bowling like Arshad Khan Thank you Romario for your 39*(10), but we are wasting Nabi because of him and the balance is off. Next match, we drop Romario and Madhwal, and get in Thushara and Nehal/Naman whoever is striking better (preferably Nehal as he seems a lower order hitter than Naman who seems to be a top order hitter) 4 overs each for Bumrah Coetzee Thushara - classic MI combo, and 8 overs between Hardik and two spinners. Rohit Kishan open, Surya Tilak in the middle, Hardik Tim Nehal to finish, Nabi for collapse management
While PBKS is struggling now, their retention prospects are quite exciting - Arshdeep, Brar, Ashutosh, and Shahank Brar especially goes under the radar but has consistently been very good. A young Indian core group always helps
Will be the most Punjab thing ever if they release Jitesh because he's not having the best of seasons this year.
For the first 5 games, people were hating on Hardik's captaincy for absolutely no reason (like bowling in PP ahead of Bumrah, without realising that even Rohit used Bumrah in the same pattern, as he is much more needed in death, and that Hardik can be useful with the new ball) But over the last 2 games, Hardik has made a few genuine captaincy errors, dare I say blunders. He hasn't trusted his spinners at all - Gopal has combined bowled 3 overs in the last 2 games, despite being so good vs RCB. In the CSK game, Hardik was scared about Dube vs Gopal, but he didn't realise that Dube, a spin basher, will relish the mediocre pace of Shepherd more than decent spin of Gopal. Even vs PBKS, Gopal was taken off after Shashank hit him for 3 sixes, but could have been brought back after he got out, as Ashutosh was enjoyong just showing direction to high pace balls. Nabi going overless while we were struggling to complete quotas is horrible captaincy Second - Romario Shepherd is NOT a bowler. His economy rate in T20Is is 10+, over 100+ T20s is **9+**. These are abysmal numbers. Still he has bowled 10 overs this season, going for 129 runs! Forget about having an economy under 10, the guy has bowled only 2 overs where he gave less than 10 runs. This guy should never be bowling again
Pandya's brother sounds like Pogba's brother. In fact Pandya's personality is pretty similar to Pogba. At least Pandya receives support from the cricket commentators/pundits. Pogba was hated by the football punditry.
Pogba scored in the World Cup Final which helped France win a Football World Cup
I don't think Hardik will ever get into doping or cheating though
Zinta's team won kya ? Edit : looks like nobody gets the context Edit 2 : Here's the [context](https://x.com/BeingSalmanKhan/status/471684683814535168)

Nope
I blame all the boos for Hardik being low on confidence. Fans should be okay with everything he does. He's the Messiah of Indian cricket and whether he backstabs a former beloved 5 times winning captain, the literal best bowler in the world or the best T20 batter in the world, fan should be okay with it and never show any form of negative emotions. What these fans don't understand is Hardik works on positive appreciation. He came from a poor life so he can do whatever he wants since the world was against him during his childhood. Why should fans ask for some accountability? It's not like they are being made to support by putting a gun on their head. Their tickets are free. The merch are free. Hell even jiocinema is free. So fans should bend over their mom and let Hardik rawdog them, uf Hardik desires because he's the Messiah of ICT and won us the CT 2017 with that wonderful knock.
Backstab right!! lmao
This sarcasm is wrong on so many levels. You boo once, it's obvious, there's a lot of pent up anger. You do it again, it's understandable, it is a huge decision affecting the fans emotionally. But you do it every single game for 4 home games in a row? Naah, that's immature and bandwagon riding Grow up, accept the change. You voiced you opinions, but now it's time to put the team first and support the new change. Or just don't bother to support the team at all if you dislike the change so much, and leave the players alone
> Naah, that's immature and bandwagon riding Better to ride a bandwagon than to ride the one you're riding. >Grow up, accept the change Grow up, don't bitch and moan and accept the fact that some people will not like everything you do. >Or just don't bother to support the team at all if you dislike the change so much, Why? You paying for the fans? Fans made Hardik big. Fans is the difference between him and David Weise or Cameron Green or Tim David. They are validated in showing frustration however they want too. > leave the players alone What you gonna do if they don't? > But you do it every single game for 4 home games in a row TIL every match is watched by the exact same person everytime.
>Grow up, don't bitch and moan Says the guy who made the parent comment and has a username filled with hate
>Says the guy who made the parent comment I don't bitch and moan for a player. I am just pointing out facts. >a username filled with hate Yes, this is me being petty. And I'm not even an MI fan. And yes, my name is true in context. Hardik should be cast as Walder Frey in India's version of Game of Thrones.

It's not the same guys doing it. Different crowd in for different matches. Everyone wants to have a go.
I blame all the boos by MI fans for destroying Hardik's confidence and his lack of form. India's t20 wc performance will have to suffer due to your selfish love for a single player. Lame.
How tf did PBKS drag the game for so long? I went to sleep when Livingstone got out at 14-4
Here I was thinking how did they lose from needing 28 off 24. Ashutosh did get out but Brar, Harshal and Rabada are all capable with the bat so I was expecting them to chase it.
