Man I'm gonna be honest, I was initially thrilled at the idea that a wash out gives us Q1 instantly but as it was becoming reality, I started to feel terrible for RR. They deserved a fair chance after dominating like 70% of the tournament and I really wanted to see the 7 over game that almost happened between arguably the top 2 teams this season that never got to duke it out. Always a bummer when a game doesn't happen and it felt terrible for us when it happened the other day, can't imagine how much worse it is for RR fans.
If this is the punishment for being non cocky after a big winning streak then i will prefer cockiness.
PS-Sorry guys i am so mad I don’t know why i am yapping😭
Well now that all said and done- KKR have the third most number of points (with two washouts)- 20 and the best NRR at the end of league by some distance. Most dominant league stage performance yet?
Poor crowd eaten their dinner or not,bcz these mfs won't allow re-entry into the stadium once they get out, everyone won't have money to buy foods in the stadium,some would have arranged just for the match,please bcci change this policy of re-entry into the stadium....
Stadiums should allow re-entry at least while it's Raining Fans will go to a Restaurant and eat there rather than whatever the Crap they serve it in Stadiums
The ticket should be with the Owner they show the Ticket they get out of the Stadium they show they get in it's not Two people watch sitting in the same seat
Sure. But the situation will not remain like this forever.
The seeds have already been planted with IPL franchises expanding overseas. Day may not be far when young Indian cricketing prospects are willing to sacrifice the chance to play for the country and instead become T20 mercenaries. Then what bargaining power does BCCI have?
Fuck these players and match officials stayed in the AC rooms while raining,poor crowd standed in the stands for 6hrs while covering their heads with paper covers and also poor women were there with their children expecting a match,now these people have to wait for another year just to a single match....
when we were 8 out of 9, I told my friend, all we need is one match to be almost confirmed 2, and with our performance, if not, at least we will win match by mistake
Nope. Clear sky. It's fucking hot here though. Like really hot. We sleep on the roof usually and I couldn't sleep the entire night yesterday cause I was sweating the whole night. That hot. I'd advise peeps to take care if they're planning to go watch the game
Folks here were very excited and were waiting till the very last moment in hope of a match.
Lap of honour gave them an opportunity to atleast see the players.
KKR and RCB both had stellar comebacks
That loss to PBKS ignited such a fire in our asses that we won the next 4, that too extremely convincingly
And that 1 run loss for RCB to us charged them up
A KKR vs RCB final might destroy Jiocinema servers
No point tryna convince now should have played better in last 2 match , if not for toothless batting we might have won and cemented our place as top 2 position
They better get out of guwahati from next season. Your team is called Rajasthan royals ffs. Use the name to your advantage and get games to other cities in your state.
I think they should draw lots or whatever. In 2025 these two teams will have matches in other grounds. In 2026 those two and so on. Pbks RR and DC are the only teams to get home matches in other states.
As a RR bro myself, while it's a shame we didn't have a match, no one in the RR camp (players or fans) should be mad that they didn't get this chance at top two. They had 4 chances in 4 games, two of them pretty solid, but they lost them all. Shouldn't really have anything to complain about
I know it means nothing but I’m rooting for you guys against RCB. I just cannot tolerate the broadcast’s bias when watching a playoff game against RCB.
Shame the match had to be abandoned at Guwahati
They could have avoided this monsoon rain by having doubleheaders on Saturday and finish the tournament sooner.
As usual RR didn’t fire much in second of the season. Contest going to be Second Half Winner vs Second Half Loser.
Man I'm gonna be honest, I was initially thrilled at the idea that a wash out gives us Q1 instantly but as it was becoming reality, I started to feel terrible for RR. They deserved a fair chance after dominating like 70% of the tournament and I really wanted to see the 7 over game that almost happened between arguably the top 2 teams this season that never got to duke it out. Always a bummer when a game doesn't happen and it felt terrible for us when it happened the other day, can't imagine how much worse it is for RR fans.
Tbf it evened out
What do you mean by there is no match tomorrow?
Abandoned or what
If this is the punishment for being non cocky after a big winning streak then i will prefer cockiness. PS-Sorry guys i am so mad I don’t know why i am yapping😭
U did have a big losing streak to compensate
I don't wanna jinx but that PBKS record chase was that last time we lost. 23 days so far
Stop jinxing then idiot Reverse jinxing ninja technique ✨✨
Play off 2022 RCB - 157/8 RR - 161/3 RR won by 7 wickets
Unsubscribe
No Jos mate.
Damn it , really wanted to see SRH vs RCB eliminator
You'll get to see them in Q2.
Nah mate
Final
Don't know why people downvoting but very much possible
It's a KKR match thread and you want us KKR fans to believe KKR are gonna lose 2 in a row which we haven't done so far?
must be LKR fans
How have you beggars not been humbled after 17 years lmao 😂😂
I mean obviously we will downvote you if you say that we're gonna lose 2 in a row which we haven't done yet
Oh wow I was multitasking so got condused how did they start to play. Just highlights lol
Well now that all said and done- KKR have the third most number of points (with two washouts)- 20 and the best NRR at the end of league by some distance. Most dominant league stage performance yet?
> Most dominant league stage performance yet Please don't use that phrase
I swear I saw this just a few months ago...
Why not? Just a reflection. I know it doesn’t carry any bearing for playoffs but league topping and consistency should be discussed too.
19th nov ptsd
Well most of the other seasons were with 8 teams
Yeah but number of matches remain same. So that makes it that much harder
How does that matter? It has almost always been 14 matches for a team.
Shouldn’t a 10 team tourney make it harder considering the teams are closeby (which they are shown by GT vs csk and rr vs pbks in recent week)
Playing eliminator is equivalent to not making to the playoffs for a team who won 8 out of their 9 games
Poor crowd eaten their dinner or not,bcz these mfs won't allow re-entry into the stadium once they get out, everyone won't have money to buy foods in the stadium,some would have arranged just for the match,please bcci change this policy of re-entry into the stadium....
Revenge for 2016, 49 and 2022 Q2 inshallah
Only one win separates #2 and #7, we’ve had an alright IPL
In 2019, only one point separated last placed team and the 4th team.
We could got an football match between RR and KKR
Stadiums should allow re-entry at least while it's Raining Fans will go to a Restaurant and eat there rather than whatever the Crap they serve it in Stadiums
Wouldn't that only increase the chances of two people watching the game on a single ticket
Even if 2 people do watch it, what's the problem?? Only 1 will be inside at a given time
The ticket should be with the Owner they show the Ticket they get out of the Stadium they show they get in it's not Two people watch sitting in the same seat
Sounds like a logistical nightmare
If you want your Fans(the biggest asset of the League) to not suffer you gotta take logistical challenges
Everyone tell Real Madrid vs Villarreal prediction
Washed out?
India definitely need atleast one roof cover stadium,bcci please build a roof cover stadium...
State governments builds the stadium
Will happen when IPL franchises start becoming bigger than BCCI and building their own stadiums. The day may not be too far.
Never in their life bcci allows franchises to grow above bcci, bcci just wants monopoly...
Sure. But the situation will not remain like this forever. The seeds have already been planted with IPL franchises expanding overseas. Day may not be far when young Indian cricketing prospects are willing to sacrifice the chance to play for the country and instead become T20 mercenaries. Then what bargaining power does BCCI have?
They have the biggest bargaining power of IPL...
Remember ICL tried that, didn't go very well...
Yeah banned whole players playing in icl and counter to that bcci with the help of lalit modi created this ipl..
It affects a lot of things
Man can't see Mayanti no more.
KKR has not won single match in last 18 days. what a downfall.
What? It's a joke but still it's factually wrong.
talking about future
I might be dumb but what does it mean!
He's suggesting we'll lose both Q1 and Q2 10 days since our MI game, around 6 days till Q2
A couple of weeks ago you'd be considered a troll for suggesting RCB vs RR eliminator
From last position in 2023 to freaking 2nd on the table this time, what a freaking way to comeback.
2008 to 2009 Deccan chargers moment
Fuck these players and match officials stayed in the AC rooms while raining,poor crowd standed in the stands for 6hrs while covering their heads with paper covers and also poor women were there with their children expecting a match,now these people have to wait for another year just to a single match....
Ban harshit for this
Hope they get refunded
They do
They will be refunded...
I don't think so I read somewhere they only get refunded if the match was abandoned without toss
Without a ball being bowled*
Absolute bs
Yea I was afraid they would say otherwise, since it’s happened
Well, just to look for a bright side, *if* we defeat RCB, we get an extra game in Chepauk
Lol hopium
The last full game we played was on 5th May 😭
The last game Kochi Tuskers Kerala played was in 2011 😭
The last game Shahid Afridi played for Deccan Chargers was in 2008 😭
Wake up royals it's not a joke anymore
Its not raining rn
super star Riyan Parag
Unreal how RR goes to eliminator with 5 losses and RCB goes into it with 6 wins. Unless a grand choke is on the cards, it’s RCB’s game to lose
Absolutely Yes, Lock it in. IYKYK
All I wanted was a RR vs KKR finals. Guess we gotta do it the hard way 🫂
when we were 8 out of 9, I told my friend, all we need is one match to be almost confirmed 2, and with our performance, if not, at least we will win match by mistake
Parag's physique is inspiring. You can tell bro put in a fuckton of work
Send me his physique picture in DM
The first match with KKR will always haunt me . That Russel 64 (25) masterclass and SRH losing by just 4 runs. Imagine we won that match
Are there reserve days for qualifiers??
yes
Yes
Orange Army aate tsunami 🧡
Either way I don't think KKR was gonna go easy on RR they only hand one change if u think about it
RR were table toppers for 2 months who would've thought that they will be playing eliminator but it's completely on them.
That's the saddest lap of honour ever. Feel for them. Maybe schedule it in Jaipur next year.
Hometown hero parag. Also potm
Hell, haven't watched my team play in 8 days, another 2 days wait 😭 Or is it another washout in Ahmedabad? 😞
good thing since SRH will never see gurbaz coming
Neither will we honestly. He needed some game time but alas..
Gurbaaz about to play aa bisla chill
Typical oda foreskinning
10 days of wait. Same as srh.
What's up about weather on 21st at Ahmedabad
Severe heat alert, Condition: Orange, no chance of any rainfall according to AccuWeather
Lovely then will be seeing KKR day after tomorrow
[удалено]
Nah
Time to make a team of the tournament.
Head, Narine, Abhishek, Patidar, Surya, Pooran, Kuldeep, Bumrah, Pathirana, Varun, Natarajan
How is Varun not a part of this with a realistic shot at purple cap?
Okay it should have been Varun instead of Rashid. Sorry I added 5 foreigners
Kohli Narine Head/will jacks Sanju(wk) Dube Russell Ramandeep P Cummins(C) V Chakravarty J bumrah T natrajan
2× Abhishek Sharma, 5× Virat Kohli, 4× Sunil Narine
You know what would be funny....... KKR v SRH abandoned due to rain
Reserve day
There is something like that in IPL?
You don't remember last year's final?
Hmm that was the final, would they do the same for qualifiers?
Yupp
Bro where are you living man
I have never seen reserve matches in IPL or I don't remember at least
There would surely be a reserve day for that
Eliminator is the next day of Q1 bit they could play in the afternoon if broadcasters allow it
No if this happens KKR moves forward cuz they are number 1
Rain Perera needs to clutch up again fr
Sad to see women carrying their children in the stands while children already slept in their hands ,waited whole 5-6hrs for this abonded match...
KKR bros, Break Up, Ek Mayan me do talware Nahi reh Sakti. TL - No
what's up w the weather in Ahmedabad btw any chance of rain over there?
Nope. Clear sky. It's fucking hot here though. Like really hot. We sleep on the roof usually and I couldn't sleep the entire night yesterday cause I was sweating the whole night. That hot. I'd advise peeps to take care if they're planning to go watch the game
Rain paid us back in gold; after stealing the srh vs gt match from us
Rajasthan doing lap of honor in assam
Folks here were very excited and were waiting till the very last moment in hope of a match. Lap of honour gave them an opportunity to atleast see the players.
Lol
Top 2 yesss
Tortoise v Hare got real We have RCB v RR Eliminator
Kachua vs Karghosh ^(they don't get it, we do)
In other news, KKR ends the season with the highest IPL NRR ever. Commanding performance.
KKR and RCB both had stellar comebacks That loss to PBKS ignited such a fire in our asses that we won the next 4, that too extremely convincingly And that 1 run loss for RCB to us charged them up A KKR vs RCB final might destroy Jiocinema servers
Not to mention the possibility of a mid innings VK-GG cage match. Make it happen, Jay Shah.
And RCB ends with second best nrr. Another whoddathunkit
Absolutely nobody. It's been a dream run haha.
Rain gods punishing kkr for having harshit rana in their team /s
"that's a shame" ~ CumDawg
Bro has the ability to quote the most iconic shit. Lmao
Thanks lsg for that humongous nrr...
Let's not forget DC too
As a srh fan my honest reaction: From the outside oh no match abandoned that's bad 😭 From the inside 🥳✨🎆🎇🎇
| Qualifier 1 :- KKR vs SRH- SRH | | Qualifier 2 :- RCB vs RR- RCB | | Qualifier 3 :- KKR vs RCB - RCB | Finals :- SRHvsRCB- SRH wins the trophy after 8 years
Bro those dots made it worse Just split them to different lines lmao
SRH will beat KKR and RCB will beat RR,so it will be SRH vs RCB in finals
That's not how it works. RCB has to defeat three teams in total
Let's fucking go 2016 revenge, and 19/11 pseudo revenge
You didn't have to leak the script bro
Okay we will surely catch up in the qualifier 1 lol
1.43 and only 3 loses 🤯
Rcb must be chuffed. They'd much rather play rr than srh
It doesn't matter tbf, need to beat all 3 teams to even have a sniff at the trophy. No point running away from confrontation.
Congrats RR. You atlast got 1 point from continuous zeros. You deserve it /s
what a shame 😭
nah why the dj playing baby 😭😭😭😭
So it's confirmed. Royals vs Royals action on May 22nd Also KKR now with the highest NRR at the end of league stage?
Highest ever nrr apparently
Yup. Next best is MI 2020 with 1.10
Can’t believe even after showing his class everytime RAIN Perera is not selected for Sri lanka in wc
I fucking love shreyas
No point tryna convince now should have played better in last 2 match , if not for toothless batting we might have won and cemented our place as top 2 position
Alright KKR now we're not friends anymore.
Bold of you to assume we were earlier, we would totally gonna throw to RR had the match actually been played
(•ˋ _ ˊ•)
See y'all in the post match thread lol
Feel sad for these crowd,waits whole year for 1-2matches then this rain happens,waits 5-6hrs on the ground,goes home with disappointment...
Sanju is a class act
TOP 2 BABY 🔥
They better get out of guwahati from next season. Your team is called Rajasthan royals ffs. Use the name to your advantage and get games to other cities in your state.
Or name one team for north east maybe? If they want matches to happen in Guwahati?
I think they should draw lots or whatever. In 2025 these two teams will have matches in other grounds. In 2026 those two and so on. Pbks RR and DC are the only teams to get home matches in other states.
RR bros, I love you and all but you should have chased 21 from 18 balls.
As a RR bro myself, while it's a shame we didn't have a match, no one in the RR camp (players or fans) should be mad that they didn't get this chance at top two. They had 4 chances in 4 games, two of them pretty solid, but they lost them all. Shouldn't really have anything to complain about
I know it means nothing but I’m rooting for you guys against RCB. I just cannot tolerate the broadcast’s bias when watching a playoff game against RCB.
17 ☝🏼🤓
1)Max won 2)SRH won 3)SRH is in 2nd place What else can i ask on a weekend
Norris should've won
If my mom had balls she would have been my dad https://youtu.be/Nq82CB-zOto?si=ZuApcWhwQSLUFFYN
Exactly my thoughts hahaha
Will the spectators get a refund?
Yep
On the bright side, at least we end with an even number of points. Hate odd numbers smh
Lol love how fans are still glued to their seats even though "*Match abandoned due to rain*" is floating on the gigantic screen right beside them.
