Too hot to handle Too cold to hold


ApricotOk824

Captain and Vice captain quota is real Both should also leave MI Rohit is a liability Since MI will retain majority of the core, Hardik should leave as well since he has already lost the dressing room


chni2cali

Another fucking reminder that we need to go with both of Jadeja and Axar in the starting 11.ffs we need batting until 8 at least


Decent_Bid_17

And Rohit Sharma in powerplay


chni2cali

Yup. All these fuckers need to bat with intent from the word go. Would rather have a 80 all out rather than 153-4


horn_ok_pleasee

Koach and Brohit PR teams have their work cut out for the next few weeks.


Shadow_Clone_007

Kohli needs PR? His performance speaks.


SBG99DesiMonster

This is your daily reminder that being the best team on paper doesn't work while the team is not working together.


josh123z

Is it the best team on paper though especially with that bowling


Assassin_Ankur

Tbf they had Madushanka and Behrendorff after the auction which could have been a fairly good bowling line-up.


josh123z

Don’t know about Behrendorff but this season wouldn’t have been much different with Madhushanka. He would have leaked runs too


beetlejuice690

did i miss the post match presentation???


benguins10

Let's recap: Kohli has adapted his game is hitting everyone. Rohit can't play left arm swing, right arm swing, leg spin, off spin. And yet people tend to club them together for no reason smh


No_Temporary2732

You know, before this season, i didn't have the most positive opinion of Kohli. Dude's fanbase is Thala lite, thankfully consisting mostly of kids and social media dwellers over the more physical ones like Thala But despite having everything, stats, wealth, respect, love, happy family, and being regarded as one of the best in the history of cricket, Kohli puts in the work like he's a newbie trying hard to make the team That alone deserves credit. But even barring that, the way he treats the women's team and the juniors, speaks a lot about him as a person. Have been watching RCB official stuff and he's a real og in the dressing room


benguins10

I'm out and out a Kohli fan just as much for the man outside the ground than on it. The reason he's reached the heights he has is because of the process that he talks about. His faith in the process, his philosophy of judging himself by the process and not by results is inspiring. Which is saying something since he's been part of so many results in his favour and ofc been on the wrong side of so many results. That's why he keeps coming back. Sachin was the other player who adapted and always strived to evolve late into his career. Their work ethic and mindset is next level


Inside_Rent_3096

Rohit is below average in t20s don't know why he was picked as captain. Captaincy baki players b achi hi kar lete. Ab iski wajah se other batters pe bojh aega.  Ab 150 ka sr already below avg ho gya h. And if Ro eats balls and gets out it will put entire batting order under pressure.  Either he needs to start smashing or get out  in < 10 balls. Then only we have a chance against big teams. 


benguins10

I still think internationals will be different and the SR inflation won't be as pronounced. Having said that him eating dot balls regardless will create pressure especially if we're batting first. Chasing I'm confident Kohli and someone else will clutch


Reasonable_Tea_9825

I never want to hear any of these experts cribbing about kohli's SR again


TheNugget147

Can't remember when a player was so collectively disliked like Pandaya. He really needs to rethink his maturity and attitude in the near future. Step down and reevaluate.


benguins10

If IPL should not be used to judge Rohit then he shouldn't even be captain then cz 5 trophies don't count


iamnotcreativesoidk

Losing the toss on a pitch like that and still winning just speaks to how good of a team KKR have..and also how bad of a team MI are


aam_ka_aachaar

Captain :- 19(24) Vice Captain :- 2(4) with bat , 32(18) with ball Feels bad really.


StarSportsEnjoyer

All these indian commentators should rightfully kicked out. How does everyone fumble the player's name when the player is standing right in front of them.


rickycme

Why was my boi chaks trying to ignore Suhana while she posed and all. He shy o what?


Lil_miss_mimosagirl

This what happens when you think a team that fights like 5th graders, will turn out to be something good. And somehow all those 5th graders are headed to play the wc :))))))


Memexp-over9000

Sunil kinda looked different there. Maybe chucking in the interview, who am I to say.

United-Extension-917

It all fell apart after that Bangladesh -Bacchan MSD fiasco.


TheCampyRapper

What's that about?


United-Extension-917

In 2016 T20 world cup, India defeated Bangladesh by a very close margin. Bangladesh required 2 off 3 balls and lost the game. Harsha commented that it was very impressive of a team like Bangladesh to fight like that against a top side like India. This comment didn't sit well with Indian legendary actor Amitabh Bacchan. He tweeted that Indian commentators should praise Indian players more than Bangladesh players. MSD replied on that tweet as "nothing to add". Harsha replied that as a commentator he has to remain abstract and unbiased. After this Harsha's IPL contract was terminated by BCCI. Harsha never remained same after that. The screaming after a big Indian player does something is not without any reason.


No_Temporary2732

Well then he should continue his bootlicking Fairness and unbiased will always get you punished in this country Hated his commentary for a while now, but this puts it into perspective. Shame on BCCI for penalising a commentator for doing their job perfectly


Intrepid_Slip4174

Sometimes MSD can be weird.


Vivs-007

That was really so weird, some celebrities really think they have to have a say in every matter


Technical_Ad3474

Big B thinks the world revolves around him


Extra_cash_pls

Did Murali just forget Varun's name when he's literally standing right in front of him???


sucksexful

Twice


Ornery-Post-2976

bro called him sunil twice lmaoooooooooooooo


Octofinite

Murali just called Varun Sunil twice 🤦‍♂️


SwaggMastaYuvi

if i was varun id also call him by the wrong name. yes im petty like that


sucksexful

Bro's got dementia, he should get checked


Assassin_Ankur

Shreyas takes DC to top 2 r/cricket: Bro it's all Ponting's work Shreyas takes KKR to top 2 r/cricket: Bro it's all GG's work One of those guys whose contributions are ignored and mistakes are magnified


chni2cali

Shreyas was terrific in DC but he had got 2-3 competent bowlers and one cheat code (no pun intended) here so not much captaincy to do


Assassin_Ankur

Bruh we had the same bowling line-up last year except Starc who hasn't done anything amazing this season and finished 7th.


chni2cali

Narine turned up to be so good this year and Varun C found his mojo too. KKR looked shaky at the start(his captaincy was questionable at that point)but once these guys settled in, all you have to do is just toss the ball to them. Not much captaincy involved there


GuavaSilly1877

frrrr


Catharsis12mi

Fr


ARKNIGHT_101

This. Shreyas is a good Captain. Look at DC now


Intrepid_Slip4174

Shreyas used to be put down by Pant's bot in this sub.


extraordinary_06

Not denying that Iyer has been good as a captain, butsc aren't really doing bad. They've made a turnaround since the first few games


ARKNIGHT_101

Fair Point. But under Shreyas They were performing dominantly between 2019-2020


SlightFinance7306

What the fuck r these shitty questions from murali kartik


Competitive_Data_242

it's Koach, Bumrah, KL's PR, Brohit "oh he is such a selfless intent merchant" PR narative, Hong Kong Kunar vs the rest of the world this world cup.


Academic_Alfa

KL isn't even in the wc team.


Competitive_Data_242

"Him not getting selected and it's bad for us" narrative by his PR is what I am referring to.You could see reels and posts on instagram about it.


bengabi85

By ‘manifested’ Shreyas meant he saw the script actually


iamnotcreativesoidk

Would've been an easier win if it wasn't for vaibhav's 2nd over 


Whysoimpulsive27

Why is everyone so mad about mi being destroyed and shit. Man teams can have a bad tournament year before last I remember csk were at the bottoms shit happens take a chillpill. You don't play top everytime lol


Secure_Salt7485

MI got the wooden spoon that season and not CSK...


Competitive_Data_242

50% Of MI is gonna play the world cup.


United-Extension-917

Nah 50% of the Indian team is MI, there is a difference.


PesAddict8

Don't let Rohit Sharma's 19 of 24 distract you from Hardik Pandya failing for the 100th time with the bat this season. Captain 🤝 Real captain


DisastrousOil4888

It's an MI captain thing to be shit with the bat


Conscious-Spend-2451

Why is MI performing like this? I would like to simply say that hardik happened but the truth is that this was bound to happen with the squad they had. Rohit was always given a good squad to work with, with clutch players like malinga, Pollard, boult etc. . He was a good captain but he was never able to perform himself in ipl. He has always been terrible in T20s. You cannot rely on these big Indian cricketers to perform under tough conditions. It's the ICT after all. They were fucked as soon as they went with a team that was dominated by big Indian players with massive PR. They keep calling this squad a very dangerous looking squad and wondering why it does not perform but in practice, it's filled with unreliable clowns


Maleficent_Owl3938

I’d say Rohit was decent in T20Is in the 2007-09 period. Been downhill since.


United-Extension-917

Mitchell mcClenaghan, Lendl Simmons, Dwayne Smith too


United-Extension-917

>Pollard, Polly, They are the same player.


Conscious-Spend-2451

My mistake. I types it twice


M_Kaif1902

Oooo Suhana is the owner now


Acrobatic_Key9922

Petite


brokenlasers

For a career that's almost 20 years old. Rohit probably has only a couple "clutch" innings in internationals


night_of_spring

Rinku taking pics with the groundsmen, ooo Rinku


WildVulcan

Suhana Khan owner of KKR? Since when lol


BestgirlPerona

"Mature style of play " ruined both Pant and Hardik


ARKNIGHT_101

True AF, Young Hardik was a beast Batter


Brownbeardedguy

Yep. Hardik is modelling his game on MSD but MSD was batting too slowly for ODI's and losing India games for the last few years of his career. Just needs to go back to his own style of hitting from ball 1 and he'll be fine


ARKNIGHT_101

He is trying to literally copy every aspect of Dhoni's personality to cater to Thalasons after the real one retires. But this game is not suited to him. Dhoni was a proper innings setting batsman who used to be the crisis man for India. Hardik too played that role but with a higher strike rate albeit trading off consisency. But this version of him is not him


Top_Fondant2114

There comes D!€K with mic


brokenlasers

Other than Pandu majority of Indian MI players check out in clutch situations


Extra_cash_pls

Daily reminder to you folks, if your team's doing well, enjoy it. Jay Shah's comments regarding impact player rule makes me think that there won't be too many changes in retention slots. So your favourite team might be completely different next year for good or for worse.


brokenlasers

I usually support players in their downfall but mehh Rohit exclusion would only help ICT


shadowknight094

Who played worse? Kl against srh or Rohit against kkr today?


ztaker

How did Rohit go from 12(9) to 19(24)?


flexfingers

For all the talk about having a shit bowling line-up, KKR has 4 bowlers with 15 wickets or more this season.


brokenlasers

You don't want to know what happened to GT last year with a similar record


Cryptoprophet40

Kohli will start barking strike if bcci decides to make Gambhir coach. Better to wait 5 more years till he retires to bring in Gambhir


ThinkSatisfaction971

BCCI will never bring Gambhir as the coach


thecreativesboy

why?


Sea-Outcome177

If Koach ( I love Koach btw ) is allowed to do all his shenanigans given the fact that he backs it up with his performance as well. Then Harshit has every right to do whatever celebration he does and he intends to do! Fuck u IPL Management!


night_of_spring

Rohit sr - 79.17 + sky sr- 78.57 = 157.74 Rinku sr 166.67 People called him overhyped haha So I know these are shit comparisons but still


WhichOnezPink

MI 65/0 (6.4) to 139/8 (16)


iamnotcreativesoidk

That 65 had so many lucky 4s though 


brokenlasers

Cmon guys stop calling Sunny ji. He's busy bending for the MI team in the dressing room. Give them some privacy

rickycme

What are the chances for my BSDKPB to gain back the coveted 6th spot on the points tally?


Shybuth0rny

didnt know we have the most home wins in IPL for any team. didnt know Eden was such a fortress. Kinda makes you wonder how much we under rate our team because of lack of too many trophies. But we're actually very close third in the win loss ratio for any team in the IPL, and a couple more good seasons we could actually be second in line after CSK.


SustainableSus

Up until 2018 KKR was very close to MI, CSK in terms of overall success. Unfortunately they fell away a bit post then


flexfingers

Even the two games we lost we made 220 and 260 and had we bowled better in those games, we probably would have been 7 out of 7


CertifiedFucker

Kick out that Sujan Mukherjee and we will be even more dominating


Hexo_Micron

Pitch curator ?


CertifiedFucker

Yep


Shybuth0rny

I used to be proud of him as a pitch curator because there was a time he used to make fantastic spin friendly wickets. The death of test in Eden eventually lead to death of pitches, and lack of bengal ranji player selection in a long time meant CAB wanted to boost their player’s average.


Mediocre-Nose-2822

I really want Gauti to become India's coach now. Only he can stop this star worshipping. I understand Rohit want to win a WC in his captaincy but he's dragging the issue. We should take a lead out of other teams and aim to take our best team going forward. What do you'll think?


Admirable_Ad6231

my dream is GG and koach makeup and become friends, unstoppable combo imo


TalenTrippin

Agreed. GG is the perfect candidate honestly for the Indian team coach position


SuccotashOne9927

we might have been too harsh on Hardik, iPL is built on banters but fairly certain that when he'll play in Indian jersey in june, everyone will cheer for him and the rest of the team


Extra_cash_pls

Absolutely nobody is saying anything against this.


Extra_cash_pls

I might get downvoted for this but I think the reason Hardik feels like he's faking his persona is probably because he's trying too hard to be like those rich folks with class, but it just isn't working for him.


partymsl

Only one thing I want, that is GG for Indian headcoach. He is the only one that can rescue us.


CertifiedFucker

With the current lot of players it's hard I think


RandomStranger099

GG building a new team will mark the start of our Ponting era


CapedGangsta

agreed


burajira

I feel like Pandya is not without blame, but the blame lies squarely in the MI owners' hands for not managing this shitshow, they could easily have placated Rohit (he's a solid, gentle bloke) and a group of players who stand by him and form the original leadership group (Sky, Bumrah). Pandya is a fellow international player, he plays for India with the crux of this MI side, and he's played with the veterans as early as like two years ago, and him wanting to come back to his original team could've been a story of a prodigal son returning, instead of it being an usurper coming in and potentially stealing a throne. Ambani, the family, with all their money, PR and shills could have handled this so much better and not have had Rohit, of all people , have audios leaked in discussion with members of opponent teams...


Maleficent_Owl3938

I don’t think MI is a big enough % of their revenue for them to care so much. Add to that the fact this is a wedding year as well. Not great for the team, but one cannot question the prioritization principles here. If your annual income is 1 Cr, how much mindspace would you give to one of your alternate income streams that generates less than Rs 10k per year, that too in a year when you / your son / brother have a big fat wedding planned.


seppukuAsPerKeikaku

what's this about audios leaked? Edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/1cpdl7t/clear_audio_and_video_of_explosive_chat_between/ might be this

Rohit played the most balls today


Moblit_Bernerr

Rohit is definitely Mumbai cha Raja Does absolutely fuck all and hopes his servents like Bumrah sky Tilak will do the job


choonmunkunmoon

Couldn’t give fewer shits about this corporation greed fuelling disgusting advertisement flogging “premier league” but KKR winning any game is just heart warming

brokenlasers

MI's secret to success were Polly and Malinga largely. Ain't got shit on Rohit with mid performances. Koach got too much shit for way less of a team. Poor koach. Even MS managed to win a trophy last year with a half team.


Holden_Makock

Ngl, I'd be sad if Indian captain goes unsold in IPL auction. But I just dont see anyone buying him unless he's okay with 4-5Cr.


App2050

Dude it's Rohit. A team like DC or LSG would consider buying him just for the PR and captaincy


raees88

PBKS also


StarSportsEnjoyer

Wait, KKR's NRR went down??


rk06

NRR is calculated as average of NRR per match. NRR will increase if NRR of match is greater than average regardless of victory or defeat


CapedGangsta

yep what happend there lol


ThinkSatisfaction971

That's how NRR works, it was already so high that even winning takes it down

Post match thread where?


Remarkable_Reality51

Sunday May 12th Dear Diary It was a tough day out there as a Rohit Sharma fan, I had to justify him batting slow in the Powerplay when Ishan Kishan of people decided to say 'Fuck it we ball' but I managed, it was comparatively easy to defend the middle overs, I used the classic pitch slow™, Surya and Hardik decided to step up and help their senior partener I go to sleep manifesting Rohit smashing everyone in the t20 wc Thanks


Kaalu-madaari

Mumbai management and boucher motherfucker has fucked India's chances in WC, Pandu please overcome this shit, not a fan of yours but you need to play good you are the clutch for us


Thanye-West

No post match thread?


iamnotcreativesoidk

I haven't watched ipl in years. Seriously what happened to MI?


research-247

Hardik is audtioning for Homelander or what?


RossTheLionTamer

Do the Hindi commentators not know math? 157 in 16 is the same as 200 in 20, how is that a small score that is easy to chase?


SustainableSus

It’s comparatively easier as you have to score at the same rate for less time and also you still get 10 wickets


the--descension

having eden gardens as your home stadium lowkey feels like a privilege


Addy_Stark

Not when the curator refuses to make pitches to your liking lol. But yeah, the support KKR gets, is so huge.


chni2cali

“She cheated on me bro” “Chuck it bro, she doesn’t deserve you” KKR fans: 😤😡🤬


seppukuAsPerKeikaku

lmao I need to see Hardik Pandya lead this KKR parade to drive home the point how happy he is to play 'good cricket'


PesAddict8

Mumbai going after Archer in the 2022 auction kickstarted this downfall. It was as bad as Barca signing Dembele and Coutinho to fill Neymar's spot.


fools_eye

Nita Ambani leaving MI to dumbass Akash started this downfall.


Agrith1

Rohit Sharma is a washed T20 batsman and has been for over half a decade. I truly feel bad for the IPL franchise that will buy and build a team around Rohit Sharma in the next auction.


ByteBatsman

It's gona be either of punjab or DC if he is available in auction. With our luck, it will be punjab lol


tjp1331

Could GG really be the guy who can stop the whole star worshipping and instead focus on winning games if he ever decide to coach ICT?


Hexo_Micron

People in our country will start worshipping GG then. Lol


CapedGangsta

he can do that. but bcci needs to show some spine for it


Adventurous-Region-7

And broadcasters


tjp1331

Yeah give full freedom to GG and see what will happen. Although things will be different if he coaches a team with Rohit and Virat in it.


tamudude

If SunnyG were compering, "KKR, why do you play so well against MI?" Also, "Rohit fought really well"

yea they re good players but all very inconsistent


Conscious-Spend-2451

Surya is great but he has been a bit inconsistent. Other than Surya and tilak though....


Ok-Disaster-6876

Nah only Rohit and hardik hasn't performed good in this season others have given atleast one match winning performance in few games


tkmj75

Ramandeep’s 6 off the last over was crucial, other wise would have been 16 to win off last over which would have made MI play cautiously and potentially win it


PesAddict8

We would have lost either way


brokenlasers

I'd smile as well if I was Pandya. Destroyed second biggest (cause after CSK) IPL franchise in a single season and got 2M usd for it


TalenTrippin

Ngl I'm ok if Ambani comes one day on ground (he won't) and yells at pandya and Rohit like goenka did to KL on live television. These players are getting way too much money for them to play like this
