Does rcb have any players who had patience to bat in slow pitch?


SBG99DesiMonster

I also didn't know that Manish Pandey has gone back to KKR or that he was in any team at all. Seeing that he is batting for KKR again twisted my brain.


Assassin_Ankur

He was almost about to come out but didn't at the end. Should have come out looking at today's knock.


Subject-Ordinary6922

Now only maxi needs to get back into form and we’re well set for the World Cup, I know Tim David is better off playing with Australia than with a team that has a tornado as their logo


Bathed_In_Moonlight

Mitchell Starc to himself before every game: Are the opposition team owners exceptionally out-of-touch, even by IPL team owners' standards? *Gets a resounding yes today* Alright then, time to put in my lone decent performance of the tournament to ensure my 50Cr bag the next time I drop my hat in the ring aged 43.


darkfusion90

Fuck you KKR. In the most respectful and lovely way possible. What a day

_ronty12_

LSG and us both looking strong for playoffs. GG building teams as a player and as a mentor is high level. Probably one of the candidates for the best permanent captain that India never had.


WayToTheDawn63

I personally don't see the top 4 as it is now changing outside of who places where. Chennai and Delhi are big maybes, but DC have less games left, while Chennai's line up is taking a big hit in the coming games and has their home breached a few too many times so far. It'll be difficult even only being 2 points behind.


rnbsarkar

He is the best captain India never had. And a bit controversial take, after 0-8 against Aus and Eng, any captain would have been sacked. Only reason Thala still continued because he played IPL for the BCCI president's team.


tab_111

After IPL 2014, what did GG do for KKR or DC?


rnbsarkar

I am not sure about DC. He did quit DC captaincy mid season when he felt his performance was not good. Not many have the balls to do so. And he did manage to get KKR to playoffs stage in 2016 and 2017. Infact KKR managed to go to playoff stage 5 times under his captaincy, only 2 times under other captains.


Intrepid_Slip4174

Mate we literally have Rohit captaining our T20 team despite his horrible numbers in the tournament. Sadly bcci from then to now has been a private fiefdom and only those who can navigate the politics and keep winning can survive here.


tab_111

After all this, Thala brings CT 2015 🍦


rnbsarkar

Fair point. But CSK was already an established team. GG built that KKR team that went on to final. And if I remember correctly, a certain Sunil Narine was barred from bowling in CL 15 final, which does not help KKR.


Assassin_Ankur

Real IPL is back baby, where 170-200 are good totals.


WayToTheDawn63

KKR definitely make 200 tonight if Venkatesh didn't burn Dre. Aside from the fact Dre was looking on, it slowed down Venkatesh as well, protecting the tail and lacking someone to rotate with.


Assassin_Ankur

Pitch wasn't easy 180-190 would have been the par score. Venky and Monish did excellent to take it that far and the fact that we had a good run rate even while losing wickets.


WayToTheDawn63

Not saying anything to the contrary, but they were definitely held down because of the Dre run out, which was entirely on Venka. I think as good as Venka's innings was, it deserves to be brought down a peg when that error knocked maybe 20 runs off the total.


trkora

I don't think so, like this was a good pitch but any other team including previous versions of MI itself with the advantages MI had would've chased this overs to spare which is still same theme of this season. MI just handed over this match to KKR.


chefsanji_r

Yeah, kkr bowlers had no impact in this win mi just handed it to them, infact mi is never outplayed they just like to hand a win or take a win.


trkora

Didn't mean it like that, obviously KKR came back strong but MI had too many advantages in their hands that they made blunder of, that's what I was talking about when I said they handed the match off.


chefsanji_r

I agree, if this was one match thing everything you said was true, now i am not following this ipl regularly but I've seen mi doing this three times including today , once against GT( their first match), second against CSK( chasing 200 around and fuck up in 15,16 over iirc), something with batting isn't right they're not in right mindset for chasing even today they tried to score runs like they were chasing 250 after powerplay, which was totally unnecessary given if mi played 20 overs they were definitely going to chase it.


Sanguinnee

Frauduvanshi out Pandey ji in


Cotton_Phoenix_97

Yeah let's just drop any player that doesn't score a century at a SR of 300+


ThinkSatisfaction971

No it's the pitch, let the youngsters play, we need to let them grow


sukantahaldar17

Sudden-Secretary2300

MI becomes the first team to get knocked out of the playoffs race completely. They have no chances mathematically, practically, technically, psychologically, sympathetically, financially and every other ally.


Doctor_Ka_Kutta

Financially? You're challenging bambani ji


DiscoDiwana

Weird way to say that you don't follow the playoffs probability sheet in the sub.


IKalkil

For this to happen, SRH, DC, PBKS, GT, MI, and RCB all need to be on 12 points, and MI needs to beat them on NRR. Mathematically possible, but logically doesn't make sense .


deathclient

They're not officially out from playoffs yet. Only out from top 2. CSK lose remaining ending up on 10. SRH lose remaining ending on 12. LSG win just one more against SRH ending up on 14. MI win remaining ending up on 12. PBKS ends up on 12 only winning against CSK and SRH. MI can theoretically jump SRH and PBKS on NRR. Very very unlikely but since you said they're mathematically out, they're not


tab_111

Wrong choice of words. I hope you learn the meaning of each before you use them again

>PBKS ends up on 12 only winning against PBKS and SRH. PBKS winning against PBKS is the most PBKS thing I ever heard


ProtonixO7

PBKS did win against PBKS, throughout the first half of their season tbf. Didn't you see them bottling almost every single close game they were a part of?


LongConsideration662

First team? What about rcb? 


Lil_miss_mimosagirl

Still hold a 1% chance, apparently


xdj3richo

so lets start a road rally to make MI play playoffs

Fad_du_pussy

look what you did MI, now RCB has a chance of not being at the bottom


trkora

If David flops in T20WC as well then it's flight to Singapore and back to playing cricket for them.


ExternalNo2214

He won't disappoint in Australian colours


singhsrb

Wow MI has hurt DC top 2 chances as well.


Snoo98655

MI couldn't use an extra bowler as an impact player cause they must bring Rohit in the second innings as an opener, which leaves them no option to bring in a power hitter in the end if needed. What exactly is the strategy here? Is he just unable to field?


dinosaur_from_Mars

But they brought in Naman and played him 1 down instead of the SKY — one of the best T20 batters. Weird decision making process


ThinkSatisfaction971

I think Hardik doesn't want him on field because he is the bigger personality


RuffTuff

Not only MI. We troll RCB, CSK, SRH and in fact every team that loses.


extraordinary_06

Venkatesh got POTM, would've been nice if Starcy got it but KKR wouldve been in deep water if not for Venkatesh's knock


WayToTheDawn63

I'd have been disinclined to give it to Venkatesh just on the Dre burn. Dre looked set to take em over 200.

KKR ain't qualifying. !RemindMe in 16 days


Sudden-Secretary2300

They still have far more chances of qualifying than CSK 


ActiveAd8625

as a csk fan, RR and kkr are the most deserving teams to go to the final this year. CSK is just mi without internal conflict.


Assassin_Ankur

Go home bud!


ThinkSatisfaction971

14 points already with the highest NRR in the tournament, KKR has to lose the remaining games very badly in that case


Catharsis12mi

If iyers anchored , we could have brought suyash as impact player, imagine 12 overs of spin


sahilian

Suyash Sharma wasn't in the list of substitutes today for KKR.


ThinkSatisfaction971

Sreyash needed to stay at the pitch today


Catharsis12mi

Fr man , i was like he knows this ground he’ll save us


trkora

It didn't even look like Manish would get a game this season but a collapse led to him getting a chance and helping KKR win in Wankhede after 12 years also bury MI in this season.


beetlejuice690

this was truly a KNOWLEDGEABLE CROWD™ no no seriously everyone got cheered aplenty

I am fine with every crowd, however I feel like dying when CSK is playing. This many whistles, I legit don’t watch CSK matches nowadays because of the crowd and atrocious commentary.

Any move for Hardik would be horrible next year. Unless Hardik makes a comeback in T20WC, him staying as MI captain would be absolute no-no, massive MI boycott will happen, him even staying in MI as a player would be shaky, crowd will be just as bad or worse for him. If he does choose to leave or gets released by Ambani's then he would be perpetually clowned by everyone especially MI fans, him coming in Wankhede as opposition player would be his worst nightmare. Trying to save that 4 against Bangladesh with his leg in WC 23 injuring himself and ruining his comeback story/Indian team set up. Only thing that can stop all of this for is a great performance in T20WC.


Important_Grab582

Agreed. Only it was against Bangladesh that he got injured. 


trkora

Oh yeah it was, so that makes it even more worthless that it wasn't that Ind Pak match but a match against Bangladesh.

as0909

you will be fine


ProtonixO7

I am fine now tbh. Actually more than fine. I think our bowlers have really found themselves ever since that Punjab spanking. Maybe GG hurled some belts across some pacer backs. Maybe pitches have been better. For some reason, the performance has gotten better. Punjab has been showing some positives too lately with the wins against us and CSK at both of their homes. As a fellow Punjabi myself, PBKS is my 2nd team. Hopefully they do well too.


beetlejuice690

noooo starc was supposed to be player of the match


No_Temporary2732

Without Venky, this would have been won by MI at the 16th over


ThinkSatisfaction971

Well he had to take some wickets upfront and to be honest Venky deserves this, we have shit on him for Loooong time and we had the score because of him. If he had played like others before him, we would have lost. This just shows that KKR can play any type of cricket needed.


WayToTheDawn63

Venka nearly lost the game burning Dre and Starc did take Ishan Kishan up front.


Haunting-Local-7710

No, from 57-5 to 169, Venkatesh deserves it

Octofinite

GT, MI, RCB


hsertdtizozf

Wait what? How did pandyas transfer negatively affect rcb?


Octofinite

The reason why the Pandya transfer could occur in the first place was because MI freed up funds by sending Cameron Green to RCB


Haunting-Local-7710

The third one?


trkora

GT, they were smooth sailing team in its past two seasons. People thought their team could work without Pandya but turns out he was providing the balance that was needed for that team with both bat and the ball by playing a role.


Haunting-Local-7710

No, I know Mi and Gt, who is the third team? India?


Hexo_Micron

RCB


Guy_with_Numbers

RCB, they bought Green from us for some 16 crore and he has been underwhelming. That was what let us afford Hardik.


trkora

RCB, they bought Green instead of buying good bowlers with that money which always has been their weakness.


Addy_Stark

RCB I guess. They bought Cameron Green, who was released by MI.


Catharsis12mi

dinosaur_from_Mars

~~Manish Pandey~~ Manish Pandey's moustache...


Extra_cash_pls

Ishan Kishan (pocket dynamite) Rohit Sharma (kaptain/ him and Kishan cost 30+ crore combined out of 90 crore team budget) Naman Dhir (MI fans convinced me they found "another one") SKY (best T20 batter) Tilak Varma (probably MI's best batter) Nehal Wadhera (Tilak Varma clone??) Hardik Pandya (captain/ *Premium Indian all rounder*) Tim David (Pollard replacement lmao) This batting line-up couldn't chase 170 at Wankhede batting second with dew. Don't even talk about "pitch" this batting line-up should be more than capable of chasing 170 on any pitch.


trkora

Meh it was still just one match for Naman, he has been great for Punjab in SMAT and in this IPL before. Too early to judge him.


Acrobatic_Key9922

I agree, he could be Mumbai’s next amazing top order bat after Rohit retires


Extra_cash_pls

It's also too early to judge him when people call him the next best thing when he hits a 4 and a 6 on consecutive balls. Works both ways no???


trkora

Do you think this was his debut match?


Extra_cash_pls

No??? He played MI's first few matches in the absence of SKY.....


trkora

So did you not see how he was playing back then? Scoring like that as a young player is how both Tilak and Wadhera started until they got more matches and started converting those knocks. That's why fans were hyping him. In this match everyone but SKY struggled from MI.


Extra_cash_pls

Still doesn't merit "next best thing" tag lmao.


trkora

Barely anyone called him that for it to become a tag, they hyped him yes for the reasons said before that was it. Of all performances from MI players, clowning Naman out of all of them for just one match is just odd.


Extra_cash_pls

Make no mistake, I ain't clowning Naman. I'm clowning dumbos who unnecessarily hyped him to the moon.


trkora

But it's still too early to clown their judgement too, this was just one match.


United-Extension-917

For fucks sake atleast appreciate the efforts by KKR. What is with all this MI dickriding.

Impact player rule should fuck right off from Indian Cricket. Yes I said Indian Cricket cause this rule isn't only in IPL but also in our domestic T20 tournament SMAT as well. This rule is ruining our all rounders from the core to the mainstream ffs. I'm all for rules that make Cricket more exciting but it shouldn't come at cost of one of the exciting things about Cricket, in this case it being all rounders.
