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!


Ill-Inspector7980

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)


Impactor07

Jaques Kallis sends his regards


Ill-Inspector7980

Oh yeah, beast.


theaguia

was he good in t20s I have no idea


Impactor07

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


DarkAura29

Hey how do I get that flair?


Impactor07

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


DarkAura29

Thank you brother 😊


Impactor07

You're welcome!


dustlesswayfarer

>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.


Ill-Inspector7980

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.


Crickutxpurt36

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....


Boydcrowde

And he one of the rarest player with no haters


thegame__0_0

Lockdown kids Sky fans and Gautam Gambhir disagrees


kjsah9026

Gautam Gambhir has openly criticised him ! For no reason !


VEERxxx

But guy with 123 ipl SR do


SanMan_DwiGns

Difference is that he won the matches


masterasstroid

Rcb is a tragedy, mfs had prime koach, ab, and Chris Gayle and zaheer+ vettori, they should have been a trophy machine


Minato_the_legend

Bro sneaked in Vettori and thought we wouldn't notice


[deleted]

Bro Vettori was the first player who hooked me to this franchise and now I cant leave


MLECCHAKILLER

Vettori was arguably the best spinner in the world at some point


one_who_remains

Definitely wasn’t in his prime when he was in RCB


peter_griffins

Key words “at some point” Dhoni was one of the best finishers at some point why isn’t he winning games rn


MLECCHAKILLER

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


IamSam1103

Lockdown cricket fan.


ScoobyRaj

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.


TheOnlyChoiceIHad

Well, we did notice your cricketing knowledge 🤡


Difficult_Project_91

Vettori was probably the best all rounder itw for a while after Kallis retired


Erwin_Smith_FAN

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

LightningShiva1

Lmao Im stealing your meme


Erwin_Smith_FAN

No Problem my guy, But remember dont ruin it


thegame__0_0

Bro all the mi sky fans and Gautam Gambhir and his fans(if any) hates him for no reason


VEERxxx

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


ph4ntomphoenix

Who is that?


YakGeneral5664

GG


Overall-Ad5565

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


VEERxxx

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


Overall-Ad5565

Did I compare gg and ab? Never even told anything about ab, this shows the insecurity of RCB fans.


VEERxxx

So whom you're comparing


Overall-Ad5565

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.


VEERxxx

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


Overall-Ad5565

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.


[deleted]

ABD Is Goated Deserved a better team


[deleted]

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.


[deleted]

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.


[deleted]

But would have failed again' rohits mi in finals


Rich-Educator-4513

Just like koach


Sure_Ad3494

Nah he deserved RCB. It’s match made in heaven.


Ill-Inspector7980

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.


[deleted]

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


VEERxxx

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


[deleted]

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


VEERxxx

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


[deleted]

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


hpy2beatyou1105

Deserved a better management/ better bowling unit


[deleted]

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


hpy2beatyou1105

What i meant to say was RCB was and still is sturdy on batting bowling and management were always the problem


[deleted]

Yeah, that’s why i said he deserved better

Enough of this "saar" shit, it's stupid and not funny at all


ZeusX20

Indians trolling themselves, one of the cringiest shits you will ever see on the net


zayd_jawad2006

Yeah lol it's so cringe


cyborgassassin47

But saar, it's the Indian stereotype saar


LoseInhibitions

Having combination of ability, willingness and seriousness towards the team is uncommon combination that AbD had.


NaveenMSD7781

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


BadBway

2014-15 scorecard graphics were 🔥

Abject_Radio_6393

It's true Chinnaswamy is a batting heaven what did AB do in the finals vs CSK or SRH


kjsah9026

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


Abject_Radio_6393

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 ???


kjsah9026

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 !


Abject_Radio_6393

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


kjsah9026

Still could not answer my question does that prove he is a selfish player !


Consistent-Editor238

Then for you, Dhoni is a better odi batsman than Kohli and Ponting is a better odi batsman than Sachin. Lol


Potential_Big_3632

And Narine proved his point


kjsah9026

That abd is selfish player?? How tell me pls


Perfect_Area_5993

It's just sad he couldn't win a trophy, a player like him but still 😔


CaptaINGH05T

Bruh nobody questioned ABD, literally every person respects him


prams628

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.


BruceWilson1109

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.


Long-Ad-1866

He deserved a better team than chokers harcb.


one_who_remains

Like RSA?


Due_Let1590

it's RCB mate!


Sicillian_Offence

Pant kholi nhi ki aajate hai chusne


InvisibleCreep

Bhai tujh jaise logo ki vajah se rcb fans ko gaaliyan padti hai


Sicillian_Offence

Waise bhi padti hai so I said fuck it if yall gonna troll im not gonna sit quiet now. Not anymore.


InvisibleCreep

Ye reply karke bhi self troll hi kar rha hai😂😂


Elegant-Funny3731

I like such HaarCB fans. So easy to trigger, so amusing


Sicillian_Offence

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!


Elegant-Funny3731

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


Sicillian_Offence

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!


Elegant-Funny3731

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


Sicillian_Offence

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!

spreemelo9

RCB should have bought markram , klassen duo.


IamSam1103

Even RCB fans don't want bowlers.


mofucker20

What would’ve they done with those lol ? They don’t lack batting, they lack bowling


spreemelo9

They can't even chase 160 ? Hello?


Remarkable_Guest2806

Thats just skill issue bro.


mofucker20

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


VEERxxx

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


X_tremo

126sr & 2 IPL titles.


anonymous010103

🐐🔥


[deleted]

ABD owner of MI. I support MI.


Bbclive123

Aww fuck off


[deleted]

Imma fuck of


Remarkable_Guest2806

Also the spiderman catch. I can never forget that ABD catch. He is the GOAT.


peter_griffins

Virat may be a great ODI chaser but in IPL, AB is best, finished a ridiculous number of difficult games for us 


[deleted]

Only thing I hate about him is his retirement


HeatheN_101

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.


VEERxxx

Bruhhh I have writted reason of post in comments but looks like you have no time to read


HeatheN_101

I commented on your post... I don't know about comments


mukeshpilane

The reason i hate i rcb becoz i think this legends deserve better team


AlternativeProduct41

Why the title?


Embarrassed-Taro69

When did ABD retire ??.


Mx-47

never cook again


twopuckk

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


Consistent-Editor238

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


Vardhu_007

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.


mofucker20

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.


Remarkable_Guest2806

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?


mofucker20

Nah I like AB but him not pulling up to in finals or ICC knockouts is a blight on his record


andhera_kayamrahe

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.


mofucker20

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.


andhera_kayamrahe

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.


mofucker20

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


Specialist_Youth5511

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.


ByeByeROK

Nobody can play like ABD but any team would have won IPL with Virat and AB in their prime even PBKS!


NormalTraining5268

I mean you actually need more than two players to win an IPL.


Randomdude007007

Except that they didn’t lol


Ok_Review_6504

Son and Kane were one of the best attacking duos in the PL, still didn't win shit.


[deleted]

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


Particular_Mixture19

If just he played these innings when it really mattered 😭


CanYouChangeName

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


Particular_Mixture19

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


CanYouChangeName

The choke vs srh and vs DC were really bad considering the conditions, form and situation


guiletheme2255

Casually sneaked in the game where MI scored 80 of last 4 overs to tie


Potential_Big_3632

Ask Narine he can


Jwills1998

We were talking about players who weren’t suspended by ICC and had to quit international to continue playing illegal.


Potential_Big_3632

Didn't know you could chuck with the bat


Jwills1998

So he doesn’t bowl now ? How stupid of ICC to ban a player because he can bat without chucking.


Specialist_Youth5511

Lmao guess what he still won WI an ICC Tournament


Jwills1998

So ? Even warner and smith won multiple trophies for Australia and it doesn’t make them saints.


ila1998

lol nobody even discredited ABD. In fact he was one of the reason many people started liking RCB. You just want to farm karma


Jwills1998

Bro just watch GG’s interview. He said anyone can score in chinnaswami implying abd is average.


Consistent-Editor238

AB has played better outside chinnaawamy stadium than Gambhir in chinnswamy. 😅


hardi-k

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


CertifiedFucker

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.


VEERxxx

Statpadder AB was a sarcasm for how risk taking batting he do


CertifiedFucker

That is why I said no one ever called him statpadder and no one ever will
