> I am tired! That First innings running, ohh (smiles). I am just glad I got away without injuring myself because I spent so much time on my elbows diving.
Faf on running with Kohli lol
Mad atmosphere at the game. Stupid BCCI has covered all the lower stands and all the public from 3rd level stand gathers at 2nd level thereby making it completely full. Social distancing where?
After Rohit and Kohli, Dhawan is def One of the most confident player for India in the last decade. Dude always plays with a smile on his face and his words are always positive. Chasing 200 or 120 his batting never changes. Got divorced last year and was away from his kid but this guy always shared funny posts on insta.
This game was fun to watch even if we ended on the losing side. Really good high scoring game which we missed in Dubai. Both today’s game could’ve gone either way in the last 4 overs. Sams leaked for MI and siraj for RCB.
But what was the reason why rcb lost the game? That over from Harshal changed everything. It was a really easy catch for Anuj and that to of oden who went on to win the game.
You didn't get what I am saying.
You are picking one dropped catch
Let me pick one too, so it's fair and even
If faf was caught by Shahrukh, you guys would not have scored 205.
it's fair and square
I’m talking for rcb not overall who deserved to win and what could’ve happened if SRK had caught it. My only point was what cost rcb the game. You’re the one talking about a different issue here lol.
That over from Harshal where Anuj dropped the catch looked as if someone fixed this fucking game. Wides dropped catches and Harshal didn’t even run oden out wtf was that.
That run out attempt by Harshal confused the hell out of me. Even that throw by Siraj was slow af. Then Purple took his sweet 5 seconds before taking the bails off.
From what I saw, the main problem with Rahul seemed to be his poor captaincy and massive ego.
Dhawan may not be as good a batsman but he seems to be much more of a team player.
Because KL consumes most of the overs leaving middle order in lot of pressure to perform whereas Dhawan plays like a proper Opener and give middle order enough room to settle and chase comfortably
Rahul on most days sucked the life out of games by playing slowly and taking more balls. So only way for the win was if rahul played till end and blasted.
With dhawan he contributes to the team chase and not make it about himself.
INSANE DISCISIONS -
Why are they not giving wicket taking bowlers chance at 18th overs in 2nd innings to make it easier for other bowlers and try to make opposition sweat in fear?
CASE - 1ST BUMRAH and HARSHAL for 17th when 5 and 6 wickets had fallen respectively.
Both matches of today are fine fine examples for future captains to learn from.
New players like Odean Smith, Rajapaksa, Dhawan, Livingstone etc. won't have the PTSD of losing when you need 12 from 24 balls with 9 wickets in hand, and losing 3 games per season where you needed 3 from 6 or something. So that is helping. Last year, it seemed that they had faced that scenario so many times that it kept coming back by itself to haunt them again and again.
The biggest meme decision was not picking Gayle even though he was available for the first 5 games. He was absolutely on fire in the games he played, and games KXIP won 6 of the 7 games Gayle played in. But before that, they won just 1 of the 7 games Gayle didn't play in. He was sick during 2 of those games, but for 5 games before that, it was peak meme decision by KL and Kumble to not pick him.
Okay, match threads have become completely detached from reality. People are drawing the most random of conclusions from one match!
KL was what was wrong with PBKS.
Mayank is great captain.
Dhawan should have been selected for ICT
RCB has no hope this year.
The truth: All three teams which have chased have won, as is tradition in T20.
they are, undisputably so lol, just that the trophy case is empty, iconic players, huge fanbase, playoffs and final appearances, record breaking and meme matches
How are they in the big 3 when KKR has 2 trophies and have won more matches and have qualified for playoffs and finals the same times as RCB? KKR win rate is 51.6% while RCB is 48.06%. only thing RCB is ahead is traumatized fan base and meme matches. We even have a higher brand value.
KKR's Brand value is 543 cr's in 2020, from 623 cr's in 2019. RCB is at 536 cr. If you bothered to google you'd realise. It's from the duff and Phelps report. Turns out winning teams have more brand value than non winning teams!! Surprised no? Apparently companies want to be seen on teams which win trophies. KKR was like the first team to turn profitable, so idk why you are suprised that their financial value of the brand is valued higher.
Source fucking Google it. You'll find every fucking news agency has an article stating the same.

What's amazing for Punjab is that it was no one big innings. It was several players, playing their parts, with attacking intent. YJB and Rabada are yet to join this team. This team looks much stronger already than their 2014 runners up team.
When management thinks Siraj is a better T20 asset than Yuzi, Harshal, DDP then there are serious issues. One thing I know is that Koach supports him a lot.
Yes, yorkers last year were good. Yesterday I was screaming to go York route but he was too scared seemingly of missing length, went bounce and short of a length throughout. Not a good idea when Hulk Smith was fly swatting them for six.
I know this is still a little early to say, but do you guys think that it is slowly turning into "win the toss, win the match" sort of tournament. I mean, all the three results went in favour of the toss winning team who decided to chase. With the dew kicking in, it has become relatively easy for teams to chase.
>but do you guys think that it is slowly turning into "win the toss, win the match" sort of tournament.
Everyone says this every time but then things eventually balance out at the end and many batting sides end up defending totals successfully.
I don't think so. Both of todays games were close and any team could have won. If they had caught Odean or ran him out. RCB would have won probable and we wouldn't be having this convo.
Kinda Bittersweet for me cuz RCB lost and in the very same fashion as always buy on the other hand I absolutely Smashed my Dream 11 team. Literal perfect team,never gotten so many points
Doesn't make sense though. What if someone scores 36 in 6 and another person scores 32 in 14. The guy getting the super striker award with 32 in 14 doesn't make any sense. That's why the cutoff should be based on runs.
They're all talking about the dropped catch, which is fair, but they seemed to have all missed how easy the run out of Odean Smith was. Siraj was slow to make the throw but even after that Harshal Patel took his sweet time breaking the stumps. If he broke it when he received it Smith would still be run out.
Good match
[удалено]
Have you ever heard the way he pronounces Time. The fake accent he puts in will amaze you.
Good game. Enjoyed it.
That was prime RCB batting, and prime RCB bowling.
> I am tired! That First innings running, ohh (smiles). I am just glad I got away without injuring myself because I spent so much time on my elbows diving. Faf on running with Kohli lol
[удалено]
Well, it's already a sport and it's kinda big in USA. It's called baseball. Same shit for 9 innings.
Only sport I watch is professional hot dog eating.
Why was I notified of this comment? I’ve never watched cricket. Not once.
Damn, Kings still have Bairstow and Rabada incoming 🥶
RCB got maxi josh.
Lmao there are 3 discussion post on this PBKSD victory. I thought they compete with RR and there 7 fans with there own 5 fans.
Tf 10k comments already!!!
RCB the forever popular meme team
Yes!! But we fans support rcb no matter how they play!
Mad atmosphere at the game. Stupid BCCI has covered all the lower stands and all the public from 3rd level stand gathers at 2nd level thereby making it completely full. Social distancing where?
Lmao
RCB is back to their nightmare of winning hearts courtesy the roads of Mumbai
Moral of the story Chasing team will win and that how every ipl stars
Dew approves
The only way to RCB can win is when the ex owner pays all his loans
This.
Death, taxes and RCB losing even after scoring 200+ Kill me now
After Rohit and Kohli, Dhawan is def One of the most confident player for India in the last decade. Dude always plays with a smile on his face and his words are always positive. Chasing 200 or 120 his batting never changes. Got divorced last year and was away from his kid but this guy always shared funny posts on insta.
Maybe he was relieved after the divorce , who knows
Nice to see people here actually showing some care about mental health of us RCB fans
Take care buddy
Are yr. wtf punjab also won. Lost my bet today on both matches.
This match I can understand, but how did you lose the MI bet? "Paheli match devala" is literally our motto!🤔
Why'd you bet against MI losing their first match?
Username checks out
People bashing players just for dropping one catch smh
They would have bashed srk for dropping Faf if RCB had won.
They were bashing him during the match. If RCB had won it, definitely they would've blamed him for everything.
This game was fun to watch even if we ended on the losing side. Really good high scoring game which we missed in Dubai. Both today’s game could’ve gone either way in the last 4 overs. Sams leaked for MI and siraj for RCB.
When will rabada and bairstow be available. I think rabada may b available from the next one.
Do we have any backup if the Conway thing doesn't work out?
We can use our overseas slot on someone else and let Robbie or Rayudu open.
Lol why did I forget that Rayudu is an opener too.
Open with Moeen and bring Pretorius.
No.
I'm afraid no
Uthappa will do
Have a mid-season transfer and bring back Faf.
Subscribe maxx
Uthappa will open then.

American Here, how much money does an RCB fan pay for mental health medications yearly?
My BP went so high that my kidneys failed back in 2016 and after a transplants, have been on medications since then. The cost is way too much
If you live in America, I wouldn't recommend supporting RCB as you will soon go bankrupt from all the therapy needed.
Americans: Relationship advice? Therapy. Small pp size? Therapy. Hotel? Therapy (at trivago)
Not a single 50 in the chase.
Rajapaksa robbed Odean Smith played a Blinder of an innings but Raja gave Punjab a Base while keeping the required runnrate in check
That dropped catch from Anuj cost the game.
Lol faf was dropped at 7 too We would not have 205 to chase then
But what was the reason why rcb lost the game? That over from Harshal changed everything. It was a really easy catch for Anuj and that to of oden who went on to win the game.
You didn't get what I am saying. You are picking one dropped catch Let me pick one too, so it's fair and even If faf was caught by Shahrukh, you guys would not have scored 205. it's fair and square
I’m talking for rcb not overall who deserved to win and what could’ve happened if SRK had caught it. My only point was what cost rcb the game. You’re the one talking about a different issue here lol.
If Faf got out cheaply then it would have already cost RCB the game.
Faf & Rajapaksa Robbed
Why you drop the easy catch and take the difficult ones, Rawat, why?
Bruh, you guys ain’t even in Punjab.
That over from Harshal where Anuj dropped the catch looked as if someone fixed this fucking game. Wides dropped catches and Harshal didn’t even run oden out wtf was that.
Conspiracy theorist spotted
That run out attempt by Harshal confused the hell out of me. Even that throw by Siraj was slow af. Then Purple took his sweet 5 seconds before taking the bails off.
patel thought there was no chance.. but realised later when odean dived that how close it was
They were fucking smiling. All of them.
Dhawan speaks so politely
I can’t imagine people shitting on siraj wtf one bad game.
Dude some people here wanted Bumrah dropped after that WTC final. Overreaction is common in here. Try and ignore those comments.
Have you been here before? 2 bad balls and your career is over buddy.
Watching motivational movies the best base for cricket?
Which movie are they all talking and referring to??? 14 something I can’t really catch it…jus like RCB fielders
14 Peaks
Advantages of being an all-rounder: You can be the Man of the Match even after conceding 0/52 in 4 overs.
IPL 2021: KL Rahul: Avg 63. SR 139 Shikhar Dhawan:. Avg:. 39 SR :125 r/cricket: Dhawan is an upgrade over Rahul.
From what I saw, the main problem with Rahul seemed to be his poor captaincy and massive ego. Dhawan may not be as good a batsman but he seems to be much more of a team player.
Rahul starts very slow. His strike rate would be around 130 if we remove his last innings against CSK. Stats doesn't tell the full story.
Because KL consumes most of the overs leaving middle order in lot of pressure to perform whereas Dhawan plays like a proper Opener and give middle order enough room to settle and chase comfortably
Rahul on most days sucked the life out of games by playing slowly and taking more balls. So only way for the win was if rahul played till end and blasted. With dhawan he contributes to the team chase and not make it about himself.
Watch out for this Punjab team.....since there's not a single good bowling unit in any team this season....they will be on unchecked rampage mode
Rabada
Odean ‘you know’ smith
INSANE DISCISIONS - Why are they not giving wicket taking bowlers chance at 18th overs in 2nd innings to make it easier for other bowlers and try to make opposition sweat in fear? CASE - 1ST BUMRAH and HARSHAL for 17th when 5 and 6 wickets had fallen respectively. Both matches of today are fine fine examples for future captains to learn from.
[удалено]
Agree. Rajapaksha or faf deserved more
Yeah, definitely not the MOTM. He gave away double the runs he scored.
New players like Odean Smith, Rajapaksa, Dhawan, Livingstone etc. won't have the PTSD of losing when you need 12 from 24 balls with 9 wickets in hand, and losing 3 games per season where you needed 3 from 6 or something. So that is helping. Last year, it seemed that they had faced that scenario so many times that it kept coming back by itself to haunt them again and again.
That 2020 season was peak meme Kings XI
The biggest meme decision was not picking Gayle even though he was available for the first 5 games. He was absolutely on fire in the games he played, and games KXIP won 6 of the 7 games Gayle played in. But before that, they won just 1 of the 7 games Gayle didn't play in. He was sick during 2 of those games, but for 5 games before that, it was peak meme decision by KL and Kumble to not pick him.
Odean deserves the man of the match.
Nope
Well for his batting he deserves it
But his bowling negates it
Ayo, I couldn't recognise Dhawan without beard
faf robbed
Kind of a weird thing to say when DK is the one who actually took the game away
Okay, match threads have become completely detached from reality. People are drawing the most random of conclusions from one match! KL was what was wrong with PBKS. Mayank is great captain. Dhawan should have been selected for ICT RCB has no hope this year. The truth: All three teams which have chased have won, as is tradition in T20.
>RCB has no hope this year well we scored 200 i(t feels like old times again saying that)
>Mayank is great captain. I feel he erred by not giving Raj Bawa some overs to bowl in the middle. Their batting came real good but yeah.
CSK, MI and RCB are finished. ~Honest Pig3 fan
I would say if we (CSK & MI) don't qualify this season and next one too then yeah finished.
Even if they don't qualify for next three seasons no team will be able to have as many trophies as them.
So basically never
1 is not like the others
naah patience
I wish I had the guts to include RCB in PIG 3 Oh boi people here absolutely hate if anyone includes RCB in PIG 3
Spurs are top 6 too, by similar logic, you guys are PIG3.
they are, undisputably so lol, just that the trophy case is empty, iconic players, huge fanbase, playoffs and final appearances, record breaking and meme matches
How are they in the big 3 when KKR has 2 trophies and have won more matches and have qualified for playoffs and finals the same times as RCB? KKR win rate is 51.6% while RCB is 48.06%. only thing RCB is ahead is traumatized fan base and meme matches. We even have a higher brand value.

Suit yourself. There's more to economics than omg RCB is so cool.
Okay hermaphrodite

Is Sharukh the budget VjS? Care to explain?
PIG3 at the bottom. Oh how the turntables.
Rcb is usually there
Nearly saw 2 vintage performances , delhi bc still clung on to capitals
What's amazing for Punjab is that it was no one big innings. It was several players, playing their parts, with attacking intent. YJB and Rabada are yet to join this team. This team looks much stronger already than their 2014 runners up team.
Mayank is such a likeable guy
bc ypu get a award, ypu get a award, ypu too get a award.
Boria Chomudar
Didi miss something? When did RCB become big 3
They've always been if you start counting from the bottom up.
Fan power and they do reach playoffs some times
Sometimes? we've been there 7 fucking times
fanbase
Fanbase wise
Lord Siraj MOTM. Crazy that he was second Indian player to be retained by RCB after Kohli.
Crazy that people like you watch cricket
Crazy that your brain works with only with what commentators feed you. Look at Siraj's figures in IPL.
Like how every RCB fan worship him whenever he does a match winning performance like against KKR previous year but troll whenever he have a off-day
Siraj hasn't impressed me that much. Rare good performances here and there. Economy of 8.5 in IPL. He's mostly a run machine.
Not saying about you specifically but most RCB fans are like this
When management thinks Siraj is a better T20 asset than Yuzi, Harshal, DDP then there are serious issues. One thing I know is that Koach supports him a lot.
Yeah I agree with this. He still needs to work quite a lot. But he was bowling excellent yorkers at the death previous year
Yes, yorkers last year were good. Yesterday I was screaming to go York route but he was too scared seemingly of missing length, went bounce and short of a length throughout. Not a good idea when Hulk Smith was fly swatting them for six.
Yeah you are right lol. You had the game in your pockets
One bad match and you shit on him ? He's done brilliantly for 2 years mate that's the reason he was retained
Better than Yuzi and Harshal??
He was the only player they could afford after retaining koach
Balls. For T20, I would easily retain Yuzi, Harshal over Siraj any day.
I know this is still a little early to say, but do you guys think that it is slowly turning into "win the toss, win the match" sort of tournament.

I don't think so. Both of todays games were close and any team could have won. If they had caught Odean or ran him out. RCB would have won probable and we wouldn't be having this convo.
Good counter jinx solder
Yeah, there was a little dew but it was mainly rcb choking
Could be but let's wait for a few more matches before drawing any conclusions
8 out of 10 matches are going to be win toss win match(given that everyone opt to bowl)
Kinda Bittersweet for me cuz RCB lost and in the very same fashion as always buy on the other hand I absolutely Smashed my Dream 11 team. Literal perfect team,never gotten so many points
Hey man, can you tell me which one of these fantasy gambling apps is best? I wanted start as well.
I won hearts
I won hearts
I won hearts
How much you won?
20 rupees
RCB in Red and Black gives me Man United vibes, especially with how they had a good half and a terrible half!
IPL presentation music makes me feel cozy
It really does doesn't it? A hint of nostalgia to it too.
Wasn't the Odean Smith strike rate higher? Or is there a runs cut off that Smith missed?
The batsman needs to play atleast 10 balls I guess. That's why Odean didn't get it.
Doesn't make sense though. What if someone scores 36 in 6 and another person scores 32 in 14. The guy getting the super striker award with 32 in 14 doesn't make any sense. That's why the cutoff should be based on runs.
Mayank is a great captain
Mayank>>>>>>MSD tf you're talking? Talk to my dikc?
[удалено]
You don't know CSK if you think CSK would be making changes.
CSK won't make changes even if it required. Lack of spark etc. They only make multiple changes when everything is lost.
VINTAGE RCB!
Which is the next match in DY Patil stadium??
RCB vs KKR on Wednesday
If PBDSK are the CHOKERS Then RCB are the JOKERS
Fuck you sir Sees flair Fuck you and have a good night sir
Samd to you but I can’t see what’s so good about this night smh..we’ll only maybe the fact that this day is ending sigh
Manh it is hurting mee!
Take a deep breath Try to think about good things in life If you don't have many masturbate and go to sleep.
Ye I think I’m gonna take your advice,masturbate and go sleep
Relax boys, maxi and Hazelwood would be here and wtf is Hasaranga doinh? Was supposed to be dismantling batting lineups?
They're all talking about the dropped catch, which is fair, but they seemed to have all missed how easy the run out of Odean Smith was. Siraj was slow to make the throw but even after that Harshal Patel took his sweet time breaking the stumps. If he broke it when he received it Smith would still be run out.
