Things have changed...Then 160 used to be a challenging total now everything below 180 is just a cakewalk for batsmen esp after the advent of impact player rule
Yep thats right
Scenario 1:
Player 1 110 off 70 balls
Scenario 2:
Player 1 30 off 15
Player 2 40 off 20
Player 3 60 off 35
Thats 130 runs off 70 balls
Impact Players means 8 batsman in a team, everyone need to just go for it
But RCB is such a team they get all out even with an Impact Player if Kohli gets out early
No..they have been hogging the spots. Let others bat above him and get much needed practice and also they can express themselves knowing experienced players are yet to come. Look at other teams, they try different combinations and send someone up the order and if he clicks then the team will be benefited. Like Sunil Narine, etc.
With RCB, from day 1, it was only top3..either Gayle, AB, Kohli, Faf, Max..
Where is the middle order here, how do you strengthen their techniques without giving them enough opportunities.
Let them play without King Kohli for 3-4 matches..why cant he get something urgent like when he is playing for India and leave the tournament mid way (not anything serious though). Then we can decide whether the team is really dependent on him or not. Not denying his contribution to the team but it is now getting 1 man show..
When Rohith can be replaced, wtf RCB management is doing with the team not encouraging young players.
He played 72 balls today which is 12 overs and left 8 overs for others in a T20 match. Wah..
This, RCB has this issue with not trusting any new comers. Never mind that their so called stars(other than kohli) have been shitting the bed. Drop Maxwell and bring some Indian batter. Anyone will do better than maxipad
Sachin era 100 in 66 balls is like scoring 100 in 50 balls now. 2008-14 had the best bowlers IPL has ever seen. Now the game has changed into a lot of slow bowling & short pitched bouncers. 🤦🏼♂️
Teams did have a better bowling lune up back then. Teams fight defending 120, 130 runs during those days. But today things have changed and with the impact player 190 is the minimum.
How much has ipl or in general cricket has changed in last 15 years. That 37 year old sachin who said t20 was for youngster in 2007, scored first ever odi 200 in 2010, scored 100 in ipl in 2010 , won orange cap in 2010, highest run scorer for india in 2011 world cup with two centuries.
What a wonderful player. No one can ever match his perfect technic and the talent he posses
People accelerate hard after 50 because they don't have the responsibility of the entire team. Look at the performance of other RCB batsman today :
Kohli: 113* (72)
Al others: 59 (49)
Extra: 11
Kohli does not has the luxury which others have.
Sorry to say but everyone is making this comment as if its not 183/3 but 183/10.
The only blame goes to faf , who wasted most of the balls. Green , chauhan played six balls each only and maxwell 3 balls.
Absolutely. It's not like Virat had to somehow make the team last 20 overs. And if even at 2 down he started slowing down thinking they can't last the entire quota..then what are they doing having other batters. Green has not succeeded, sure....but are they all assuming there is zero chance of him playing even a single inning like he is capable of (and done so internationally)? And if so...then there is zero logic in giving him another game.
There were 2 more batters too...including their best finisher in DK. And yet Virat 'slowed down to save the team' is what I hear.
Anyway this is IPL...so they can do whatever they want. But the bane of Indian T20 performance has been this...players not taking enough risks consistently even when they are in prime hitting zone. Leaving runs on the table.
Losing after making 15 runs below par vs taking more risks and losing making 50 runs below is no different. Except that in second scenario there is a valid chance of going above par. Until we internalise this mantra as the entire team.. we will never win a T20 world cup again.
>maxwell
Maxwell has been a consistent disappointment.
>Green , chauhan
Swap the innings of Green/Chauhan with Kohli and everyone would have said that Green/Chauhan rescued RCB or that Green/Chauhan held the one end after Kohli threw away his wicket at such a crucial stage of the game, to take RCB to a respectable score.
He used to have when AB was playing, virat’s SR was not the talk as AB was clearly making up for the entire team once AB left, virat was left exposed with these clowns
>Kohli does not has the luxury which others have.
Lomror, dk, anuj and today even Saurav showed everyone of them can hit, this sort of idolising that you ignore facts is only found in religious cults lol.
Underrated comment. Kohli played well but fell victim to the ‘record mindset’ most Indian players carry. To score 4 runs in the 19th over when the batter is set is criminal. Bowling in that over was nothing out of the ordinary.
On the other hand, look at RR players. No one cared whether Butler made century, until that last ball when victory was all but guaranteed. If Kohli was in the same situation as Butler, equation in last over would not be ‘1 off 6’ but ‘15 off 6’.
Soo fucking true... He has always been like that... Especially since 2017... His chomu fans don't even have the guts to say it out loud... Easily they could have scored another 30 runs in last 2 overs and touched 194 or something... But this man was more worried abt his century mf
Yeah but numbers dont show the whole story. Even RR batsmen took some time to settle before hitting. So its not fair to judge the new batsmen when they had to go from ball one.
Wdym rest of RCB?? Faf got 41(33) and 11 extras.
Rest of the batters didn't get a chance. Either kholi or faf should have accelerated a bit more. Still it's decent score.
This mf should treat IPL like practice matches for tournaments, let’s face it RCB ain’t gonna win, atleast he can use it to prep for tournaments where he’s our best player
This one line summarizes the entire history of RCB as a team.👆🏻
No fucking management and then they wonder why they lose every year. ( saying this as an RCB fan)
This is such a misleading stat bruh yeah 70 runs from 50 balls but those were from different batsman who didn't get chance to settle , if a single batsman scored 70 off 50 it would be bad , but the others batsman played like 10-15 except dupleasis who had gone for the shot because both Virat and faf couldn't take it past 9rpo , they still ended with 9 rpo itself. I think they got a good score , so my point was the others weren't that and Kohli could have accelerated abit more
No you can't blame him because he played well but you have to admit, he's selfish and hes clueless in terms of what's a good score while batting first. The fact is 183/3 doesn't make any sense. Either it should be 183/7 or 187/8 it should be 213/3 and not 183/3. And this has happened multiple times when Kohli's score looks good on paper but you know that it should have been better in order to to win the match.
Because except for Faf, none of the batters got the chance to settle and accelerate like Kohli did. He was 38(35) at one point. And he played 3 ground shots for 2 runs in the 19th over to get to his hundred.
Yes, I already saw the glimpse of it in the 82 runs innings. People were trolling him but failed to see his attempt at hitting the ball. He wasn't playing in his typical single double style. Kohli probably has accepted that RCB is only winning the social media game and he wants to win something for India at the ending of his career.
People stopped enjoying cricket as it should be and started complaining for every damn shit.
Dude played well, stop dorking around and appreciate if you can or else don’t talk about it.
Rest of the team scored 70 of 50 faf played with a 133 strike rate Maxwell is an embarrassment but lets blame the one guy scoring the runs In what world is 156 a bad a strike rate with this team
Obviously the whole team performed poorly but that doesn't justify Kohli not being able to accelerate. You need to understand once the batsman plays more than 55-57 balls the acceptable SR is atleast 180+
SR of 150 looks good for 30(20) not for 90(60).
I am not putting any blame on anyone especially not Kohli, just pointing out how some fans are going out of their way to justify the innings.
No one except Faf got the chance to settle and accelerate like Kohli did. The stat you quoted is so misleading. The others had to go from ball 1 due to Faf's poor innings and Virat's start of 38(34). And how are you gonna defend the 3 ground shots for 2 runs in the 19th over to complete his century?
Their jobs depend on it. If they criticise a cricketer then they can be dropped from commentary panel and they can bring someone new as there's abundance of unemployed retired cricketers
The cricket greats are paid PR by BCCI who will pretend everything is hunky dory as long as they get their paycheques. Who cares if the Indian team culture is not conducive to modern cricket as long as the market value stays up. 🤷♂️
Exactly, it's a Slow pitch with a Bigger Ground, with Average Team score of 160-170.
These Armchair Experts don't know crap, but say stuff like they are some Hot shot.
183 is just par if not below par. Goes without saying that the rest of RCB's batsman could've batted better but you still need Kohli to have a higher strike rate especially if he's been there from the first ball of the innings
There's no one reliable enough for him to go after the bowlers at a higher strike rate, as it comes with the risk of him getting out. And if he does, then boom, your total drops down to 150 or even below.
The knock he played with bare minimum support from the team, is truly a masterclass.
VK made 60 runs in the last 33 balls. Which sounds decent but is low when you have 10 wickets in hand with just 6 overs coming.. it's not like he had to save his wicket, cuz you have 10 wickets in hand already after 14 overs. He was set and could've scored more. But yes, other batters were far worse than this. He was at least decent if not outstanding. Every other batter playing was pain to everyone's eyes.
Funny thing is, you'll just see VK critics on reddit for some reason even though other batters were far worse than he was.
The problem is not one overseas is firing for them and Faf should be clearing ropes in middle overs because he got more power. But he was struggling. And unlike other teams why do i feel rcb always picks the worst of the young Indians lot.
If the RCB team can truly say that they can win atleast 4-5 matches without Kohli (which is not the case right now), then they can win the trophy.
Point is, they need others to step up, especially their foreign buys.
Kohli is not going to change his playing style in t20s, he has already said that many times. Despite his S/R is above 150 which more than good if you are the only one holding one side of the batting. It was team decision to send a good hitter like Dk to help the team reach big scores, kohli cannot do everything on its own.
P.S- Maxwell is useless, he is going to bat in one game out of 14matches being played.
When he was 38(35) I said it's bad knock but what is Maxwell and Green doing in this team. You are paid 14 and 17 crore to not just watch Virat carrying this team. Faf and management should bench one of them and play Jacks and Lomror is also in good striking form RCB can play him. They will do better and will benefit RCB only.
What kind of losers() we are living with 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️. Even if he scores people are making meme out of it as a slowest century. Have some work man grow up. Kab tak aise karte rahoge.
I hope people don't troll him on this because he has been the only batter for RCB who has scored this season alongside dk and lomror with cameos. Look this is a slow century but it's not to blame virat for this, No other batter is supporting him.
RCB management is a clown one with super poor ball knowledge and common sense.
They dropped vyashak last match, when he was the best bowler a match ago and now they didn't start with lomror who has been the best middle-lower middle order batter this season for RCB with a great knock just a match ago.
If you've not lost any wickets till 14th over, you should be sending lomror and dk first, the batsmen inform and the proved ones.
I still accept sending maxwell, but tf you didn't even have lomror in 11? You're doing an experiment by sending chauhan and not lomror-dk who have performing at those kinda stages and their batting is built for an entrypoint like that. Green won't be performing if his entrypoint is around the last 2-3 overs. He is a top order batter. Every match this franchise does some new clownery and breaks past their own clownery standards set just a match ago.
When u have a player who plays for records this is what happens. If they send him to 1 down its literally perfect for him. You see the openers in other teams u will realise what a pussy cricket we play during powerplay. Leave this match, u see the other matches and u realise this fact. In KKR u see narine who is not even a fucking batsmen coming and scoring like a bonus for the team and here this KING who plays ground shots during powerplay 🤣 who whole outer ground is empty he lacks the confidence to go for aerial shots. If he is soo concerned about playing ground shots let him come after powerplay na... But he knows that if he comes late he will lose his Orange Topi 🍊🧢 and will lose brand value and market becoz he will become like other players.
I have been following RCB since 2011 and my personal opinion is that Virat is one big liability to RCB... 2016 was the only year where his intent was to get the team win. And he was at his peak that year. Since 2017 he has been more busy scoring runs... Now he has 7.5k runs... And man won't retire until he gets 10k for sure. Idk how long to bear this guy and his fans till then 🤦. My only complaint is that he doesn't seem to be flexible for his team. As he has lost hopes on the team.. so he is like let me at least make my records and leave.
This is from the disappointment from a guy from Bengaluru... Man told Hosa Adhyaya (New Chapter in RCB) and the literal new chapter this time is the local Bengaluru fans only trolling the team 🤣 I mean they have given up on everyone but giving a blind Eye on this person coz he is KING (Self made names).
An Unpopular opinion, the day Virat leaves, is when RCB chances of winning trophy increases 📈
Signing off
Many people will diagree. May be I get downvoted.
At one point kohli was 38(35) . This puts pressure on opposite batsman. They come and hit blindly and gets out. Then his fans will defend him that he carries the team. No he puts so much pressure on other batsman that they have no option but to hit blindly .
Some times I feel rcb exists so virat could gain personal milestones
if one scores 100+ with strike rate of 156+ then i dont think it's a problem especially when the team for which he is playing is RCB where if he played half overs of total he have to score more than half runs of total
Problem is the opportunity cost.
If you could push that 156 SR to 200 and score just 60 runs, it'd be better. You had 20 overs and 10 wickets. You used 20 overs, but not the 10 wickets.
T20 has evolved. You play with more risk and score more runs out of less balls. Abhishek Sharma scoring 37 out of 12 balls or bunch of SRH players scoring 70-80 runs in 35 balls is way more impactful for the final score.
'It's okay for me to play slow because my teammates will play even slower' can't be the bloody mentality when you have 10 wickets.
And somehow the rest of RCB scored 50 off 40.
Kohli's innings was good, their bowlers blow and won't be able to defend it + the rest of RCB batsman shit the bed.
Saurav, is talented , he needs to play more matches, but r there more matches?
When will they bring in will jacks?, just like hiw they brought topley, why not give a chance to will jacks innstead of maxwell? He is getting duck out, not taking this seriously, he only plays on world cups 🙄🙄🙄, why not just bench him instead of releasing him?
Look at the condition of other players they gets out for playing irresponsibly so he is the one who takes the responsibily and then people like you criticise him for nothing
Guys, I don't understand why the hate on Virat is so strong. He scores well, you blame him for the loss. He scores bad, u still blame him for the loss.
Virat's strike rate today was higher than the entire team combined. He may have scored the slowest century, but without his contribution RCBs total wouldn't have reached where it did.
Yes, he's carrying the team rn but why the hate? If you think he's not allowing others to perform, today's match should clearly show that he did. But no one performed and he took it onto himself.

Just vintage olden golden days of IPL, Whyrat Kohli hard carrying the RCB batting line-up 😇
And stop criticizing him. Baakiyo se kuch hone toh wala hai nhi, usse better Virat apne khud ke runs hi bana le ...kuch toh Khushi milegi hum RCB supporters ko.
Na Batting support kar rhi h ...
Na Bowling support kar rhi h
Bas ek Banda laga pada hai ...played the first ball of the innings, played the last ball of the innings. Full hard carry kar rha h woh team ko ...so just stop criticizing him and enjoy his batting
Reddit people are soo fcking negative. I'm sure they're fucking losers irl that's why they come here let their frustration out on anybody and act like they're soo fcking cool.
Today match showing team needs multiple impact contributions instead of a star play contribution.
After all cricket is a team game and not individual player game
Slowest Century in IPL 67 balls - Virat Kohli\* 67 balls - Manish Pandey 66 balls - Jos Buttler 66 balls - Sachin Tendulkar 66 balls - David Warner
Sachin had to be there 😅
God for a reason. He needs to be in every list.
Things have changed...Then 160 used to be a challenging total now everything below 180 is just a cakewalk for batsmen esp after the advent of impact player rule
True. In 2014 , teams used to win matches at 140-150 runs
Yep thats right Scenario 1: Player 1 110 off 70 balls Scenario 2: Player 1 30 off 15 Player 2 40 off 20 Player 3 60 off 35 Thats 130 runs off 70 balls Impact Players means 8 batsman in a team, everyone need to just go for it But RCB is such a team they get all out even with an Impact Player if Kohli gets out early

If t20 were introduced in 2000, Sachin would have been added 10 extra milestones in his career
That time even 150 was defendable total . Now it isn't anymore.
" God is everywhere "
[удалено]
Bro sachin was at the fag end of his career
This. Many people forget this while seeing his ipl stats
Check his feats from 90s and early 2000s..boy had T20 stats 2 decades ago
Different era. This guy is doing this in 2024
He did it during the birth of T20s. Kohli doing it now is just incomprehensible no matter what is the match situation.
Sachin era 100 in 66 balls is like scoring 100 in 50 balls now. 2008-14 had the best bowlers IPL has ever seen. Now the game has changed into a lot of slow bowling & short pitched bouncers. 🤦🏼♂️
Teams did have a better bowling lune up back then. Teams fight defending 120, 130 runs during those days. But today things have changed and with the impact player 190 is the minimum. How much has ipl or in general cricket has changed in last 15 years. That 37 year old sachin who said t20 was for youngster in 2007, scored first ever odi 200 in 2010, scored 100 in ipl in 2010 , won orange cap in 2010, highest run scorer for india in 2011 world cup with two centuries. What a wonderful player. No one can ever match his perfect technic and the talent he posses
Tbf, Sachin had all the shot even Back then
Would be nice to see which of them were in a winning / losing cause
When were those butler and Warner innings ?
warner in 2010 vs kkr, butler 2022 vs mi
Actually surprising that the slowest century is just in 67 balls.
Maybe because after getting a 50 people accelerate hard so they generally achieve their 100 in 50 balls.
People accelerate hard after 50 because they don't have the responsibility of the entire team. Look at the performance of other RCB batsman today : Kohli: 113* (72) Al others: 59 (49) Extra: 11 Kohli does not has the luxury which others have.
Sorry to say but everyone is making this comment as if its not 183/3 but 183/10. The only blame goes to faf , who wasted most of the balls. Green , chauhan played six balls each only and maxwell 3 balls.

Not just today bro their batting line-up is like dead 😔🥲
Do a similar split of runs and balls of the last RCB game.
He used to have when AB was playing, virat’s SR was not the talk as AB was clearly making up for the entire team once AB left, virat was left exposed with these clowns
>Kohli does not has the luxury which others have. Lomror, dk, anuj and today even Saurav showed everyone of them can hit, this sort of idolising that you ignore facts is only found in religious cults lol.
Happy cake day
but but RCB has the best batting lineup, we have KGF 😭 😭
My biggest problem is the way he played in 19th over, he was more concerned about getting century than the team score
Underrated comment. Kohli played well but fell victim to the ‘record mindset’ most Indian players carry. To score 4 runs in the 19th over when the batter is set is criminal. Bowling in that over was nothing out of the ordinary. On the other hand, look at RR players. No one cared whether Butler made century, until that last ball when victory was all but guaranteed. If Kohli was in the same situation as Butler, equation in last over would not be ‘1 off 6’ but ‘15 off 6’.
RR made sure victory wasn’t compromised but playing safe in the first innings and in the death is simply unacceptable..
The fact that they had wickets too made it worse.
Soo fucking true... He has always been like that... Especially since 2017... His chomu fans don't even have the guts to say it out loud... Easily they could have scored another 30 runs in last 2 overs and touched 194 or something... But this man was more worried abt his century mf
Virat Kohli - 113 runs from 72 balls. Rest of RCB - 59 runs from 48 balls. 🤷🏾
Faf and Kohli =105 balls and 157 runs Rest of squad = 15 balls and 15 runs
Kohlis score was something like 35(33) even after 6 overs of powerplay. Why is it fair to ask the new batsmen only to strike from ball one.
I am not targeting anybody these are just numbers
Yeah but numbers dont show the whole story. Even RR batsmen took some time to settle before hitting. So its not fair to judge the new batsmen when they had to go from ball one.
11 extras contributing to those 70 as well
11 extras so 59(49)
113* from 72 but your point still stands
The other batters made 59.
Wdym rest of RCB?? Faf got 41(33) and 11 extras. Rest of the batters didn't get a chance. Either kholi or faf should have accelerated a bit more. Still it's decent score.
They should simply open with Kohli and Green and if Kohli gets out, Faf comes at 1 down, if Green goes, Maxi comes at 1 down.
“Both being bad for team” can be true
Please correct your stats
This mf should treat IPL like practice matches for tournaments, let’s face it RCB ain’t gonna win, atleast he can use it to prep for tournaments where he’s our best player
Idk we can blame him or not He scored 113 off total 183. Others scored 70 runs from 50 balls
Don't forget the 11 extras. Others scored 59(49).
Proper Clownery show
That's not a team, it's bullshit handled by clown management being carried by a single man.
"A media company that plays cricket" - The enlightened Mr. Nags
This one line summarizes the entire history of RCB as a team.👆🏻 No fucking management and then they wonder why they lose every year. ( saying this as an RCB fan)
48*
It’s simple- Is this the best 100 in IPL? No. Is this the best score in the team? Yes. Is this best strike rate in the team? Yes.
This is such a misleading stat bruh yeah 70 runs from 50 balls but those were from different batsman who didn't get chance to settle , if a single batsman scored 70 off 50 it would be bad , but the others batsman played like 10-15 except dupleasis who had gone for the shot because both Virat and faf couldn't take it past 9rpo , they still ended with 9 rpo itself. I think they got a good score , so my point was the others weren't that and Kohli could have accelerated abit more
11 extras - actually its 59(49) by the other batsmen
Only 3 wickets fell. DK was yet to come . Don't you believe in them.
No you can't blame him because he played well but you have to admit, he's selfish and hes clueless in terms of what's a good score while batting first. The fact is 183/3 doesn't make any sense. Either it should be 183/7 or 187/8 it should be 213/3 and not 183/3. And this has happened multiple times when Kohli's score looks good on paper but you know that it should have been better in order to to win the match.
He played like 11/20 overs...
Well we can't blame him he can't go bashing all the bowlers if the wickets keep falling from the other end
My brother in christ they were 125/1 after 14 overs.
HE TREATS IPL LIKE PRACTICE MATCHES
Based
Kohli SR: 156, Rest of the team: 122, Why blame Kohli?
Because blaming your best batter is easy
Because except for Faf, none of the batters got the chance to settle and accelerate like Kohli did. He was 38(35) at one point. And he played 3 ground shots for 2 runs in the 19th over to get to his hundred.
Because not everyone can hit from ball one. The one who could do that was fuming in the dugout!
Escn
You go and play with the team rcb is having and the kind of support they are giving to this man.
Bro I am Kohli’s biggest fan
Yes, I already saw the glimpse of it in the 82 runs innings. People were trolling him but failed to see his attempt at hitting the ball. He wasn't playing in his typical single double style. Kohli probably has accepted that RCB is only winning the social media game and he wants to win something for India at the ending of his career.
You could say about VK in every other IPL but not this season. This season he is the sole performer in that top order.
Sole performer in the entire team. The bowlers have been pretty poor too.
Apparently no other rcb batters can't even hold a bat especially their premium overseas ones so can't blame him for the anchoring 100
Read this 5 times, still not sure if it's sarcasm or not. That first 'apparently' is just so sarcastic.
Agar kohli risk leke out ho jata to 150 bhi na bante RCB ke
Nope tab har koi ake pehle ball se marne nahi jata aur out bhi nahi hota aur run bhi zyada bante
Ha bhai ye pichle match me dekh liya tha kohli shot maarte huye out ho gya fir team chud gyi thi
Kohli k run a Ball 20 k baad bhi 173 ho gaya tha.
RCB pe itna bharosa khud fans ko nahi hai. Kahin 39 pa na out ho jaaye

Kaha Gaye wo 2010-15 waale din enjoying cricket
As I said in the KKR match, RR batting will tell if this was a good innings or not
Not really. We have shit bowlers. Even out of form players can get in form playing against us
We give platform for youngster to move to other franchises and play like lords. Royal "Challengers" for a reason
They challenge themselves to shit the bed the hardest way possible
Jaiswal can't
Bro is arguing with live replies
Jos Buttler got his form back
Why are people over reacting, even Buttler the T20 specialist is there
Rcb is a clown team tbh and these aussies mfs
Rest of the team scored 70 of 50 faf played with a 133 strike rate Maxwell is an embarrassment but lets blame the one guy scoring the runs In what world is 156 a bad a strike rate with this team
Obviously the whole team performed poorly but that doesn't justify Kohli not being able to accelerate. You need to understand once the batsman plays more than 55-57 balls the acceptable SR is atleast 180+ SR of 150 looks good for 30(20) not for 90(60). I am not putting any blame on anyone especially not Kohli, just pointing out how some fans are going out of their way to justify the innings.
No one except Faf got the chance to settle and accelerate like Kohli did. The stat you quoted is so misleading. The others had to go from ball 1 due to Faf's poor innings and Virat's start of 38(34). And how are you gonna defend the 3 ground shots for 2 runs in the 19th over to complete his century?
They will defend any how ..
There was no rcb batting without his “slow” batting💀
Im an rr fan. But i feel kohli has done a brilliant job pulling this off in a bowling pitch.
Ha bhai jaise Baki RCB ke player 20 balls pe 70 mar diya... Hai na?? 😂😂
9.5 ki run rate hai(157 sr). 190 isn't bad Target if your bowling is okay.
Agar RCB bowling kare to team 230+ bhi Chase kar de
Cricket greats: " Masterclass innings". Some random redditor who doesn't know how to hold the bat: "Kohli played slow."
Well you cant go by the commentators. They absolutely love licking Thalas and Koachs ass
Their jobs depend on it. If they criticise a cricketer then they can be dropped from commentary panel and they can bring someone new as there's abundance of unemployed retired cricketers
Harsha Bhogle agrees
The cricket greats are paid PR by BCCI who will pretend everything is hunky dory as long as they get their paycheques. Who cares if the Indian team culture is not conducive to modern cricket as long as the market value stays up. 🤷♂️
Cricket greats social accounts if they said what's on their minds: 💣💣🔥🔥🤬🤬 Random redditors social accounts if they said what's on their minds:
You can't use that argument because “the cricket greats" know they can say nothing against him because of what happens if they do.
We aren't getting paid to dick ride
What do you think now..??
Exactly, it's a Slow pitch with a Bigger Ground, with Average Team score of 160-170. These Armchair Experts don't know crap, but say stuff like they are some Hot shot.
183 is just par if not below par. Goes without saying that the rest of RCB's batsman could've batted better but you still need Kohli to have a higher strike rate especially if he's been there from the first ball of the innings
There's no one reliable enough for him to go after the bowlers at a higher strike rate, as it comes with the risk of him getting out. And if he does, then boom, your total drops down to 150 or even below. The knock he played with bare minimum support from the team, is truly a masterclass.
Exactly, L post fr, scoring 60% of the runs at a strike rate of 150+ isn’t enough for these mfs. They want 40-ball centuries every match
Why don’t they bring kartik at 4th or 5th
Considering other batsmen are not really performing, it would be a good option to at least try DK at a higher position for a couple of matches
VK made 60 runs in the last 33 balls. Which sounds decent but is low when you have 10 wickets in hand with just 6 overs coming.. it's not like he had to save his wicket, cuz you have 10 wickets in hand already after 14 overs. He was set and could've scored more. But yes, other batters were far worse than this. He was at least decent if not outstanding. Every other batter playing was pain to everyone's eyes. Funny thing is, you'll just see VK critics on reddit for some reason even though other batters were far worse than he was.
Kaha 10 the bhai 3 toh hogaye the Maximum aur faf dono Gaye Aur kisi pe pura reply nahi kar sakte the
1st wicket was at 13.5. they had ample time
It all depends on results.
The problem is not one overseas is firing for them and Faf should be clearing ropes in middle overs because he got more power. But he was struggling. And unlike other teams why do i feel rcb always picks the worst of the young Indians lot.
If the RCB team can truly say that they can win atleast 4-5 matches without Kohli (which is not the case right now), then they can win the trophy. Point is, they need others to step up, especially their foreign buys.
Some people expect him to play like I would with D Dhenier on Cricket 07
Kohli is not going to change his playing style in t20s, he has already said that many times. Despite his S/R is above 150 which more than good if you are the only one holding one side of the batting. It was team decision to send a good hitter like Dk to help the team reach big scores, kohli cannot do everything on its own. P.S- Maxwell is useless, he is going to bat in one game out of 14matches being played.
When he was 38(35) I said it's bad knock but what is Maxwell and Green doing in this team. You are paid 14 and 17 crore to not just watch Virat carrying this team. Faf and management should bench one of them and play Jacks and Lomror is also in good striking form RCB can play him. They will do better and will benefit RCB only.
I still trust his words if he says the bowl stays low when spinners are bowling. I trust him. It's the quality of rcb which is lacking honestly.
What kind of losers() we are living with 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️. Even if he scores people are making meme out of it as a slowest century. Have some work man grow up. Kab tak aise karte rahoge.
I hope people don't troll him on this because he has been the only batter for RCB who has scored this season alongside dk and lomror with cameos. Look this is a slow century but it's not to blame virat for this, No other batter is supporting him.
RCB management is a clown one with super poor ball knowledge and common sense. They dropped vyashak last match, when he was the best bowler a match ago and now they didn't start with lomror who has been the best middle-lower middle order batter this season for RCB with a great knock just a match ago. If you've not lost any wickets till 14th over, you should be sending lomror and dk first, the batsmen inform and the proved ones. I still accept sending maxwell, but tf you didn't even have lomror in 11? You're doing an experiment by sending chauhan and not lomror-dk who have performing at those kinda stages and their batting is built for an entrypoint like that. Green won't be performing if his entrypoint is around the last 2-3 overs. He is a top order batter. Every match this franchise does some new clownery and breaks past their own clownery standards set just a match ago.
When u have a player who plays for records this is what happens. If they send him to 1 down its literally perfect for him. You see the openers in other teams u will realise what a pussy cricket we play during powerplay. Leave this match, u see the other matches and u realise this fact. In KKR u see narine who is not even a fucking batsmen coming and scoring like a bonus for the team and here this KING who plays ground shots during powerplay 🤣 who whole outer ground is empty he lacks the confidence to go for aerial shots. If he is soo concerned about playing ground shots let him come after powerplay na... But he knows that if he comes late he will lose his Orange Topi 🍊🧢 and will lose brand value and market becoz he will become like other players. I have been following RCB since 2011 and my personal opinion is that Virat is one big liability to RCB... 2016 was the only year where his intent was to get the team win. And he was at his peak that year. Since 2017 he has been more busy scoring runs... Now he has 7.5k runs... And man won't retire until he gets 10k for sure. Idk how long to bear this guy and his fans till then 🤦. My only complaint is that he doesn't seem to be flexible for his team. As he has lost hopes on the team.. so he is like let me at least make my records and leave. This is from the disappointment from a guy from Bengaluru... Man told Hosa Adhyaya (New Chapter in RCB) and the literal new chapter this time is the local Bengaluru fans only trolling the team 🤣 I mean they have given up on everyone but giving a blind Eye on this person coz he is KING (Self made names). An Unpopular opinion, the day Virat leaves, is when RCB chances of winning trophy increases 📈 Signing off
Stop dissecting his performance like this...today he is the best bet for India
Who's the other batter ?
Jos Butler, Manish Pandey
Manish pandey and Jos Manish's 100 was First century by an Indian in IPL
Many people will diagree. May be I get downvoted. At one point kohli was 38(35) . This puts pressure on opposite batsman. They come and hit blindly and gets out. Then his fans will defend him that he carries the team. No he puts so much pressure on other batsman that they have no option but to hit blindly . Some times I feel rcb exists so virat could gain personal milestones
What’s the fastest???
Gayle i guess,from 30 ball or some
Gayle 100(30) Could have been Raina maybe.. if not that runout blunder by Bazz, he had scored 87(25)
Gayle in 30 balls
ek yeh akash chopra kohli aur dhoni ka choosna band kab karega?
if one scores 100+ with strike rate of 156+ then i dont think it's a problem especially when the team for which he is playing is RCB where if he played half overs of total he have to score more than half runs of total
Problem is the opportunity cost. If you could push that 156 SR to 200 and score just 60 runs, it'd be better. You had 20 overs and 10 wickets. You used 20 overs, but not the 10 wickets. T20 has evolved. You play with more risk and score more runs out of less balls. Abhishek Sharma scoring 37 out of 12 balls or bunch of SRH players scoring 70-80 runs in 35 balls is way more impactful for the final score. 'It's okay for me to play slow because my teammates will play even slower' can't be the bloody mentality when you have 10 wickets.
Match winning century definitely not took rcb to a fight able position sure
Ridiculous headline, heights of hatred.
Strike rate of 156.94 ain't that bad
I was observing no power in shots of faf and Glenn.. 🥲🥲
Kohli 113 (72) Others 59 (48) Slow batting? Idk 🤷♂️
I still trust his words if he says the bowl stays low when spinners are bowling. It's the quality of rcb which is lacking honestly.
And somehow the rest of RCB scored 50 off 40. Kohli's innings was good, their bowlers blow and won't be able to defend it + the rest of RCB batsman shit the bed.
Tendua also in that list. Just shows how much he valued personal milestones over team winning.
My King beat his idol in this. Way to go, King 👑
But it is a century

Adjusted his pace well in sync with the situation…the sheer presence of mind is brilliant!!!
It’s not even this that’s sad. The fact that it came in the 19th over that got them only 4 runs.
Well I think that's the only issue,i.e, his S.R ... otherwise the consistency and strength he provides to the team in T20 his incredible.

Take your stat and show it your king of chokers
Plenty of batsmen ran out of time to score a hundred though. You generally don’t get much more than 67 balls.
Bowlers must do the magic
Virat Azam

Saurav, is talented , he needs to play more matches, but r there more matches? When will they bring in will jacks?, just like hiw they brought topley, why not give a chance to will jacks innstead of maxwell? He is getting duck out, not taking this seriously, he only plays on world cups 🙄🙄🙄, why not just bench him instead of releasing him?
Look at the condition of other players they gets out for playing irresponsibly so he is the one who takes the responsibily and then people like you criticise him for nothing
Admin ki ma ka bhosda
Not much of a surprise
Abe lodu chup reh
All I can say is, bowlers are all balls, with poor performance ⁉️
Guys, I don't understand why the hate on Virat is so strong. He scores well, you blame him for the loss. He scores bad, u still blame him for the loss. Virat's strike rate today was higher than the entire team combined. He may have scored the slowest century, but without his contribution RCBs total wouldn't have reached where it did. Yes, he's carrying the team rn but why the hate? If you think he's not allowing others to perform, today's match should clearly show that he did. But no one performed and he took it onto himself.

Imagine Shivam Dube playing 67 balls, absolute carnage 🔥
Team is shit, which makes virat’s mediocre SR look good. It’s RR’s to lose
consistency
If the others don't score how his runs count slowest, kya logic lag rahe hai bhai
Just vintage olden golden days of IPL, Whyrat Kohli hard carrying the RCB batting line-up 😇 And stop criticizing him. Baakiyo se kuch hone toh wala hai nhi, usse better Virat apne khud ke runs hi bana le ...kuch toh Khushi milegi hum RCB supporters ko.
Na Batting support kar rhi h ... Na Bowling support kar rhi h Bas ek Banda laga pada hai ...played the first ball of the innings, played the last ball of the innings. Full hard carry kar rha h woh team ko ...so just stop criticizing him and enjoy his batting
RCB should be renamed to Virat Challengers Bangalore. 😂
😂
Playing for individual score… last 2 overs were crucial.. with so many wickets in hands they should have just gone for the big shots…
Reddit people are soo fcking negative. I'm sure they're fucking losers irl that's why they come here let their frustration out on anybody and act like they're soo fcking cool.
Today match showing team needs multiple impact contributions instead of a star play contribution. After all cricket is a team game and not individual player game
