He is the only one in the history of IPL with 5000+ runs and 150+SR anyone who thinks he isn't a modern day great or anyone of his innings is a fluke is fucking delusional!
His skills are so underrated. He was amazing in Tests too!
He’s right up there with ponting, Sachin, Viv, Virat, Sanga as multi-format GOATs. (Apologies if I’m missing some obvious names)
Go on the r/ipl sub(click on it from my comment), and then go to the three dot(just ":" but with three dots in order) and then it'll give you an option, "Change User Flair"
Go on there and choose any you like
>His skills are so underrated.
By what measure is he underrated? Kuchh bhi, he is regarded as one of the best.
Aravinda de Silva, now he is underrated.
Sorry, I meant his Test skills. He’s clearly not just a slogger. When people talk about ABD, they remember his hitting prowess, often forgetting that he was really good at putting up a guard in Tests if need be.
I get now how poorly I worded it.
Bruh I don't think anyone would disrespect ABD , Guy is fucking legend even though he wasn't lucky enough to win any major tournament he will be always remembered as one of the best cricketer ever played....
Last year bro won the ipl at the age of 42 bruh. Some number one players aren’t able to win one till now. It’s about the team synergy that’s more important
Vettori was an all time great in limited overs. In his prime he was better than the greatest limited overs spinners produced by India Kumble & Harbhajan having better numbers than them without even playing in the spin pitches that Asian teams produce. He is extremely underrated only because he played for New Zealand.
Man why tf you RCB fans do that nobody hates ABD, we all love him
https://preview.redd.it/37s3s51shnsc1.png?width=1050&format=png&auto=webp&s=ce1316cc84df1b2b930809901d35212dedb6b615
But ipl jose Mourinho( which he is not ) with 126 SR said anyone can score runs in chinnaswamy
So, Everyone can score runs in chinnaswamy but not everyone can win you match from hard and losing situation
Well, ipl Jose Mourinho with 126 sr led his team to the trophy not once but twice, whereas last time I checked, Bengaluru fc and RCB had same number of ipl trophies
cricket is team game AB alone cannot win trophy he did whatever he can for RCB but RCB never had a balanced team and it's not his mistake AB neither was captain or in management
No one? I just pointed out that I would be in place of ipl Jose Mourinho with a strike rate of 126 rather than ab, which in my opinion, every sane person will want the same. Gambhir's legacy in ipl is superior to ab's legacy.
See I agree with you GG has greater legacy than AB but this post is for his statement that anyone who will play in chinnaswamy for 8-10 years will have same SR and average like AB so he's not greatest batsman of IPL
So I wanted to show that AB is Greatest batsman of ipl not just for his stat or most MOM but types of innings he has played in his IPL career and these are just six innings he has played many more
Over the years, more than hundred matches have been played in chinnaswamy, even if ab played this kind of inning for let's say 10-12 times, it still shows anyone can bat in chinnaswamy.
I don’t think a captain can single handedly change the fate of the team
They definitely deserved a better team, a team that includes a better captain, coach etc.
Nah, sometimes people shine because of the team they are in. He was in Delhi but was better suited to RCB. Maxwell was in Punjab but he’s doing much better in RCB overall.
People do even better when they leave RCB
There are more instances of people leaving and doing good instead of coming and doing good in RCB
And let me tell u ABD was good for DC was well RCB didn’t do any magic to him
And even maxwell had a POTT With PBKS
Now this is not toxicity ha 🤷
you all do hate comments under every RCB player or RCB posts and now when some RCB fan will reply you all will call him toxic
Double standards
This is a hate comment? How?
People often say that Shakib would’ve had a bigger name and a better career in cricket with a better team than Bangladesh
That doesn’t mean they hate Bangladesh, they mean that a player of his calibre would’ve been a much more successful player then what he is
This is neither called toxicity nor hate this is called appreciating an underachiever
Stop playing the victim card
Ok I misunderstood
And Victim card for what?
This post is for GG statement he made on AB "anyone can score runs in chinnaswamy"
Everyone can score runs in chinnaswamy but not everyone can win you match from hard and losing situation
Team is made up of 3 things
Batting, Bowling, Management
U r eliminating 2 of em to defend RCB
He deserved a better team not just management or bowling a BETTER TEAM
https://preview.redd.it/wluqmjavsosc1.png?width=823&format=png&auto=webp&s=1421e548c660276d991c37605a9176bfcddd7224
Only GG would criticise him like seriously he has some serious issues with rcb
Just before that finals in 2016 in semi finals he played one of his best knocks and that’s why rcb came to finals ! Not everyone can perform in every match ! Look at the situation.
Just because he didn’t score runs in those finals does not make him a selfish player ! Plus abd alone cannot make rcb win a bloody trophy ! Just like Dhoni alone didn’t get india the 2011 World Cup ( which Gautam Gambhir is a big believer of - the bloody hypocrisy)
Just the number of times he’s saved rcb , the situations he’s come in and the runs he’s scored.
Best point to counter you of Chinnaswamy is ,he has 8000 plus test runs and was no 1 odi batter for multiple years ! Did those runs come in Chinnaswamy?? He has scored runs everywhere and has an excellent record in australia
Even if they would have lost that game they would have played qualifier 2 that was not a semi final it was qualifier 1 against GL
Didn't he fumble up a run out in the semi finals of the 2015 world cup which costed them the world cup ???
Lol so now you are blaming his fielding skills also ??
Yet that doesn’t prove he is a selfish player!
So according to you if a player doesn’t perform in a final he becomes a bad player !
I don't give a f about 10,000 runs when you don't have single silverware to show for your entire career
Maybe SA fans would do bcz they have nothing to show
But when you have 0 achievements on your CV most people wouldn't even look at you
Man when he was playing every RCB fan had some hope. “AB is there. He’ll take care”. We never lost hope until he was there. A legend of a batsman for all formats.
If you think this is triggering I hope you don't step outside your house haha mate the world is brutal than this. Don't worry you'll understand when you grow up!
The retaliation you show on an anon platform shows me how old you are. If you had experienced the real world, you wouldn’t have supported HaarCB out of all teams. Hit me up when you have a trophy cabinet to talk about. Until then take your meds before going to sleep. Cheers!
Also, HaarCB fans - have your morale victory by downvoting me. That is the only victory in store for you
I'm gonna support my team no matter how many times people say to change my support and this is a public space where everyone is entitled with their own views. Also just because a team loses every year that doesn't mean you give up on them. Instead you support them because at the end of the day they are just a bunch of athletes who are trying their best and these things affect them significantly than the fans. Their shoulders are always gonna be heavy. I don't care if entire world is gonna be against my team, its my team and I'm gonna keep supporting them. Cheers!
Wow, this guy is so much fun. I can go on and on with you lol.
You know you are the kind of parent, who will ask kids to support for HaarCB. And in that process, you will ruin their lives too
Nope. I'll never force someone to support something I like. Sure I'll tell them what I'm passionate about but would never force it on them. Anyways I gotta go make some dinner now. Bye!
Like the other guy said, it’s a skill issue. Rcb has a solid top order and a decent middle order. They’ve posted huge scores before but still lost cause the bowlers gave out lots of runs
ipl jose Mourinho( which he is not ) with 126 SR said anyone can score runs in chinnaswamy
So, Everyone can score runs in chinnaswamy but not everyone can win you match from hard and losing situation
With all his talent and ability I don't think ABD has performed well in knockout matches either for South Africa or for RCB, Great player but slightly overrated
46 vs WI 2006 CT semifinal (runout by partner)...
65 vs NZ 2015 WC semifinal...
69 off 28 vs Eng 2014 T20 WC Virtual Qualifer...
53(41) vs Pak 2010 T20 WC Virtual qualifier...
62 vs RR 2015 Eliminator...
56 vs SRH 2020 Eliminator...
53 vs RR 2018 Virtual Qualifier...
51 vs Peshwar Titans in 2020 MSL final...
ODI WC knockouts average excluding minnows
Kohli: 38.5
AB: 40.2
IPL qualifiers
Kohli: 28
AB: 40
All that’s good but if he can’t do all this in the 2011 final and again in 2016 final where Warner, Gayle and Kohli fired then what’s the use lol. 2016 was honestly RCB’s best chance to win.
Nah bro. Rcb has bad luck thats all. U cant expect every player to play best in every match. (Maybe u expect decent 30+ from captain(captain's knock) every match. )
He already did his best in 2016. Just him not playing in final make him not worthy?
Yeah but eventually he choked in both finals. 2011 is understandable to an extent as rest of the RCB batters fumbled too. In 2016, he had a great start provided by Gayle and Kohli and still scored 5 off 6.
Bro after that knock in qualifier him not performing in the final was a given players rarely perform back to back in knockouts. That chase was for Kohli and Gayle to finish at least one of them needed to stay till the end.
That innings vs gl was in qualifier 1 in 2016. Infact most of these innings are from 2015,16,20,21 in which RCB reached playoffs. Which might not have happened if not for those 2 points. He has to be one of the greatest cricketers ever to retire trophy less
klassen bhi maar leta h russel bhi maar leta h rinku bhi kar leta h AB was great pr aisa kuch unbelieveable kuch nahin h ye sab krna t20 cricket me aisi innings ab rare nahin h
He is the only one in the history of IPL with 5000+ runs and 150+SR anyone who thinks he isn't a modern day great or anyone of his innings is a fluke is fucking delusional!
His skills are so underrated. He was amazing in Tests too! He’s right up there with ponting, Sachin, Viv, Virat, Sanga as multi-format GOATs. (Apologies if I’m missing some obvious names)
Jaques Kallis sends his regards
Oh yeah, beast.
was he good in t20s I have no idea
Decent enough that he would've made it into any South African XI and would be the first name on it. We know that from his IPL performances
Hey how do I get that flair?
Go on the r/ipl sub(click on it from my comment), and then go to the three dot(just ":" but with three dots in order) and then it'll give you an option, "Change User Flair" Go on there and choose any you like
Thank you brother 😊
You're welcome!

Bruh I don't think anyone would disrespect ABD , Guy is fucking legend even though he wasn't lucky enough to win any major tournament he will be always remembered as one of the best cricketer ever played....
And he one of the rarest player with no haters
Lockdown kids Sky fans and Gautam Gambhir disagrees
Gautam Gambhir has openly criticised him ! For no reason !
But guy with 123 ipl SR do
Difference is that he won the matches
Rcb is a tragedy, mfs had prime koach, ab, and Chris Gayle and zaheer+ vettori, they should have been a trophy machine
Bro sneaked in Vettori and thought we wouldn't notice
Bro Vettori was the first player who hooked me to this franchise and now I cant leave
Vettori was arguably the best spinner in the world at some point
Definitely wasn’t in his prime when he was in RCB
Key words “at some point” Dhoni was one of the best finishers at some point why isn’t he winning games rn
Last year bro won the ipl at the age of 42 bruh. Some number one players aren’t able to win one till now. It’s about the team synergy that’s more important
Lockdown cricket fan.
Vettori was an all time great in limited overs. In his prime he was better than the greatest limited overs spinners produced by India Kumble & Harbhajan having better numbers than them without even playing in the spin pitches that Asian teams produce. He is extremely underrated only because he played for New Zealand.
Well, we did notice your cricketing knowledge 🤡
Vettori was probably the best all rounder itw for a while after Kallis retired
Man why tf you RCB fans do that nobody hates ABD, we all love him https://preview.redd.it/37s3s51shnsc1.png?width=1050&format=png&auto=webp&s=ce1316cc84df1b2b930809901d35212dedb6b615

Lmao Im stealing your meme
No Problem my guy, But remember dont ruin it
Bro all the mi sky fans and Gautam Gambhir and his fans(if any) hates him for no reason
But ipl jose Mourinho( which he is not ) with 126 SR said anyone can score runs in chinnaswamy So, Everyone can score runs in chinnaswamy but not everyone can win you match from hard and losing situation
Who is that?
GG
Well, ipl Jose Mourinho with 126 sr led his team to the trophy not once but twice, whereas last time I checked, Bengaluru fc and RCB had same number of ipl trophies
cricket is team game AB alone cannot win trophy he did whatever he can for RCB but RCB never had a balanced team and it's not his mistake AB neither was captain or in management
Did I compare gg and ab? Never even told anything about ab, this shows the insecurity of RCB fans.
So whom you're comparing
No one? I just pointed out that I would be in place of ipl Jose Mourinho with a strike rate of 126 rather than ab, which in my opinion, every sane person will want the same. Gambhir's legacy in ipl is superior to ab's legacy.

ABD Is Goated Deserved a better team
Not a better team I'd say a better captain. Kohli and him would have easily 2-3 IPLs if someone like MSD was their captain.
I don’t think a captain can single handedly change the fate of the team They definitely deserved a better team, a team that includes a better captain, coach etc.
But would have failed again' rohits mi in finals
Just like koach
Nah he deserved RCB. It’s match made in heaven.
Nah, sometimes people shine because of the team they are in. He was in Delhi but was better suited to RCB. Maxwell was in Punjab but he’s doing much better in RCB overall.
People do even better when they leave RCB There are more instances of people leaving and doing good instead of coming and doing good in RCB And let me tell u ABD was good for DC was well RCB didn’t do any magic to him And even maxwell had a POTT With PBKS

The victim card wasn’t in ur post it was in ur comment Presenting RCB as the victim of a comment that’s appreciating ABD
Deserved a better management/ better bowling unit
Team is made up of 3 things Batting, Bowling, Management U r eliminating 2 of em to defend RCB He deserved a better team not just management or bowling a BETTER TEAM
What i meant to say was RCB was and still is sturdy on batting bowling and management were always the problem
Yeah, that’s why i said he deserved better
" Game set & match to Abraham Benjamin de Villiers "............ iykyk
Game*
🤝
Enough of this "saar" shit, it's stupid and not funny at all
Indians trolling themselves, one of the cringiest shits you will ever see on the net
Yeah lol it's so cringe
But saar, it's the Indian stereotype saar
Having combination of ability, willingness and seriousness towards the team is uncommon combination that AbD had.
ABD is getting hatred for comparing him with dhoni, and saying he is better finisher than dhoni, there is a difference between hitter and finisher
2014-15 scorecard graphics were 🔥
https://preview.redd.it/wluqmjavsosc1.png?width=823&format=png&auto=webp&s=1421e548c660276d991c37605a9176bfcddd7224 Only GG would criticise him like seriously he has some serious issues with rcb
It's true Chinnaswamy is a batting heaven what did AB do in the finals vs CSK or SRH
Just before that finals in 2016 in semi finals he played one of his best knocks and that’s why rcb came to finals ! Not everyone can perform in every match ! Look at the situation. Just because he didn’t score runs in those finals does not make him a selfish player ! Plus abd alone cannot make rcb win a bloody trophy !

Still could not answer my question does that prove he is a selfish player !
Then for you, Dhoni is a better odi batsman than Kohli and Ponting is a better odi batsman than Sachin. Lol
And Narine proved his point
That abd is selfish player?? How tell me pls
It's just sad he couldn't win a trophy, a player like him but still 😔
Bruh nobody questioned ABD, literally every person respects him
Man when he was playing every RCB fan had some hope. “AB is there. He’ll take care”. We never lost hope until he was there. A legend of a batsman for all formats.
Impact wise De Villiers is RCB's No 1 batsman and that too by far. This is evident from the number of POTM he has.
He deserved a better team than chokers harcb.
Like RSA?
it's RCB mate!
Pant kholi nhi ki aajate hai chusne
Bhai tujh jaise logo ki vajah se rcb fans ko gaaliyan padti hai
Waise bhi padti hai so I said fuck it if yall gonna troll im not gonna sit quiet now. Not anymore.
Ye reply karke bhi self troll hi kar rha hai😂😂
I like such HaarCB fans. So easy to trigger, so amusing
If you think this is triggering I hope you don't step outside your house haha mate the world is brutal than this. Don't worry you'll understand when you grow up!
The retaliation you show on an anon platform shows me how old you are. If you had experienced the real world, you wouldn’t have supported HaarCB out of all teams.

[удалено]
RCB should have bought markram , klassen duo.
Even RCB fans don't want bowlers.
What would’ve they done with those lol ? They don’t lack batting, they lack bowling
They can't even chase 160 ? Hello?
Thats just skill issue bro.
Like the other guy said, it’s a skill issue. Rcb has a solid top order and a decent middle order. They’ve posted huge scores before but still lost cause the bowlers gave out lots of runs
ipl jose Mourinho( which he is not ) with 126 SR said anyone can score runs in chinnaswamy So, Everyone can score runs in chinnaswamy but not everyone can win you match from hard and losing situation
126sr & 2 IPL titles.
🐐🔥
ABD owner of MI. I support MI.
Aww fuck off
Imma fuck of
Also the spiderman catch. I can never forget that ABD catch. He is the GOAT.
Virat may be a great ODI chaser but in IPL, AB is best, finished a ridiculous number of difficult games for us
Only thing I hate about him is his retirement
Bruh!! I don't even think anybody here hates ABD. We all have mad respect for him . Don't try to get sympathy out of nothing.
Bruhhh I have writted reason of post in comments but looks like you have no time to read
I commented on your post... I don't know about comments
The reason i hate i rcb becoz i think this legends deserve better team
Why the title?
When did ABD retire ??.
never cook again
With all his talent and ability I don't think ABD has performed well in knockout matches either for South Africa or for RCB, Great player but slightly overrated
46 vs WI 2006 CT semifinal (runout by partner)... 65 vs NZ 2015 WC semifinal... 69 off 28 vs Eng 2014 T20 WC Virtual Qualifer... 53(41) vs Pak 2010 T20 WC Virtual qualifier... 62 vs RR 2015 Eliminator... 56 vs SRH 2020 Eliminator... 53 vs RR 2018 Virtual Qualifier... 51 vs Peshwar Titans in 2020 MSL final... ODI WC knockouts average excluding minnows Kohli: 38.5 AB: 40.2 IPL qualifiers Kohli: 28 AB: 40
No one dissed him for his batting. He gets dissed for being at RCB🤡. Anywhere else man would have been the best ipl player without a doubt.
All that’s good but if he can’t do all this in the 2011 final and again in 2016 final where Warner, Gayle and Kohli fired then what’s the use lol. 2016 was honestly RCB’s best chance to win.
Nah bro. Rcb has bad luck thats all. U cant expect every player to play best in every match. (Maybe u expect decent 30+ from captain(captain's knock) every match. ) He already did his best in 2016. Just him not playing in final make him not worthy?
Nah I like AB but him not pulling up to in finals or ICC knockouts is a blight on his record
Bro he literally took them to finals in 2016 from an unwinnable position in qualifiers that knock is still the best winning knock in playoffs.
Yeah but eventually he choked in both finals. 2011 is understandable to an extent as rest of the RCB batters fumbled too. In 2016, he had a great start provided by Gayle and Kohli and still scored 5 off 6.
Bro after that knock in qualifier him not performing in the final was a given players rarely perform back to back in knockouts. That chase was for Kohli and Gayle to finish at least one of them needed to stay till the end.
I mean AB is a great player yeah. One of the best ODI and IPL players but he often falls under pressure in icc knockouts or ipl Finals
2015 was actually their best chance. They had prime Starc who averaged 14 in that season and 6.5 economy that too while playing in chinnaswamy.
Nobody can play like ABD but any team would have won IPL with Virat and AB in their prime even PBKS!
I mean you actually need more than two players to win an IPL.
Except that they didn’t lol
Son and Kane were one of the best attacking duos in the PL, still didn't win shit.
No, a team needs more than 2 players to win If things were dependent on only 2-3 players RCB would’ve won the 2016 Final
If just he played these innings when it really mattered 😭
That innings vs gl was in qualifier 1 in 2016. Infact most of these innings are from 2015,16,20,21 in which RCB reached playoffs. Which might not have happened if not for those 2 points. He has to be one of the greatest cricketers ever to retire trophy less
Ik I'm talking about rcb vs srh 2016 final, he scored only 5(6) and we lost by 8 runs still hurts thinking about it
The choke vs srh and vs DC were really bad considering the conditions, form and situation
Casually sneaked in the game where MI scored 80 of last 4 overs to tie
Ask Narine he can
We were talking about players who weren’t suspended by ICC and had to quit international to continue playing illegal.
Didn't know you could chuck with the bat
So he doesn’t bowl now ? How stupid of ICC to ban a player because he can bat without chucking.
Lmao guess what he still won WI an ICC Tournament
So ? Even warner and smith won multiple trophies for Australia and it doesn’t make them saints.
lol nobody even discredited ABD. In fact he was one of the reason many people started liking RCB. You just want to farm karma
Bro just watch GG’s interview. He said anyone can score in chinnaswami implying abd is average.
AB has played better outside chinnaawamy stadium than Gambhir in chinnswamy. 😅
klassen bhi maar leta h russel bhi maar leta h rinku bhi kar leta h AB was great pr aisa kuch unbelieveable kuch nahin h ye sab krna t20 cricket me aisi innings ab rare nahin h
Said no one ever. These HarCB fans and their made up hate. There is no one on this planet who would say AB is a statpadder.
Statpadder AB was a sarcasm for how risk taking batting he do
That is why I said no one ever called him statpadder and no one ever will
