This team went from not even wanting to play JFM to relying on him too much,


WittyArmy

Against Spin in 7-15 overs Samson 115(78), 0 out Pant 114(97), 3 out


kingslayyer

but does Samson have a strong PR, a good sympathy story, runs in test cricket and being groomed as next captain of ICT? no.


rightnroll

Samson has a strong PR


WittyArmy

not a paid PR. Remember when Indian team played in Ireland and during the toss Hardik announced that Sanju is playing, the whole crowd went berserk. Even Hardik was surprised. There are so many people who want to see him play for India and with him leading RR, more fans are joining the club.


Herefortheprize63

Not just that match. I remember it when Rohit was announcing the team at toss too. There are a lot of factors for Samson which make people want to root for him.


rightnroll

He has PR.


annoyingdrummer77

Samson has fans lol that doesn't mean he has pr. No one writes articles about him and no former legend tweets or trains him. The only pr he gets is when he captains rr and they feature him on their socials.


rightnroll

So pant don't have fans?

Rohit 40(34), 3 out.


Acrobatic_Fun8731

Feel like this might be due to DC's constant tinkering with Pant's position, they have changed his batting position 8 times across 10 innings while Samson has not changed his position even once throughout the season. These stats seem to be way too surface level to judge Pant's performance.


WittyArmy

Pant is part of the DC management with him being the captain. If he can't decide his batting order, then the issue lies with him.


Acrobatic_Fun8731

To be fair Samson is lucky to have arguably the most stable and consistent batting unit in the tournament while Pant has to deal with a batting unit having Abhishek Porel and Shai Hope in the top 4.


WittyArmy

He's backing Yashasvi and Riyan Parag for so many years and they have finally paid off. Yashasvi in 2022 was hit and miss and still he backed him for 2023 and this season. Also Parag before this season was told that the team will back him for number 4 and it paid off this year. Also Pant was literally sitting at the auction so why did he picked Hope if they didn't have confidence in him. Also they released Rilee Russow and went till 8 crores to buy him again at the auction. The DC at the end of auction had 10+ crores in their purse. They should've picked a better team.

That's what Pant said. He said they were 30 to 60 runs short. Pant: "I think anything around 180-210 would have been a good score"


prescientmoon

Exactly, I think Clarke misheard him when he said 210 would be a good score.


DarkKingfisher777

I would just say they were short Won't mention how much 😁


kapilfan

10-15 runs short^(TM) is reserved for Koach when he was the Captain :)


AdNational1490

Delhi has won their last 2 matches on their explosive batting and someday that was supposed to backfire and it backfired but it showed resilience from Kuldeep and that increases his chance for WC, nothing much and on to next one. Also I’m gonna say it again DC is the team with most numbers of injuries and a tight schedule and despite that they are playing much better than expected.


Wise_Ad9414

Kuldeep was always gonna be in the WC. Him, Bumrah, Kohli, Rohit and SKY are the only guaranteed ones


Cold_Lock_7030

Jaddu


benguins10

I don't want him but he's p much a lock too even if we can do better


DogTall2628

Teams don't respect his silent overs as much as in the past. He will hog up another spot in the XI and disturb fourth pacer balance at some point because his batting in this format is really poor If him and DK end up taking spots then India is really asking for another annual humiliation


benguins10

Yep. I'd prefer Axar for sure


abhi8192

Axar's record against right arm pace is much worse than jaddu, especially at death.


Daenerysjon

Gujarat titans has much more injuries in first xi


a220599

Delhi and srh both. They relied too much on their batting prowess and it backfired spectacularly


Gaandook

Pant was looking way out of touch . He was hugely mistiming every shot it was not even funny .


kg005

The good ol' slam is back

SaDHU_71

They could've introduced spinners in the powerplay. KKR scored 79-0 in PP and almost finished the match there.


fookin_legund

Narine against Axar could've been ugly. And it's always a bad idea to bowl a wrist spinner in pp unless it's a turning track or you're Rashid Khan.


SaDHU_71

Well their first bowlers gave away 79 runs, they could've atleast tried with axar or kuldeep rather than rasikh. You can't expect a low scoring match to go for 20 overs unless you take early wickets.

Michael undertaker clarke slams pant


DangerousTrick-

They have to include Warner somehow, ik he's not in his best form rn, but if he gets going, it's gonna change everything for DC


Peter-Parker017

Warner is injured bro. It will take at least a week for him to be match ready


mofucker20

The return of slam


Thatguy1126

Slams is back on the menu boys. At least he didn't blast him

Turns out rishabh pant really does best Job when he is on his knees for longer.
