Truth has been spoken

It's true but there have been some exceptions like:

 

Sandeep Patil in the 1983 WC final

SRT in the 2000 ICC knockout final

Rohit in the 2007 WT20 final

Similar thread of mine got deleted during ct final. But yes. They are mental midgets they are accumulators and can't take pressure may be the Mumbai khadoos batting style is to blame.

If you see all of them are while setting targets and lookup records while chasing you might find zero contribution surprising for a team that has over 100 years of history. Also SRt and ganguly screwed up the 2000 knock out final they slowed down in the end and gave newzealand a chance.

They put on 140 odd in 26 overs for the first wicket. I don't think ANY team had managed that kind of a start in a ICC final up until then. If anything the screw-up happened in the 2nd half of the innings.

Mumbaikar in WC finals

 

Gavaskar - 12 ball duck in 83 world cup final

Sachin - 4(2) in 2003 final

Sachin - 18 in 2011 world cup final

 

Compare that with Delhiites

 

Amarnath - MoM in world cup final

Sehwag - 84 and top scorer in 03 final

Gambhir - 97 and top scorer in 2011 final(Also top scored in 07 T20 WC final)

Even the most poor Mumbai team manages to win Ranjj trophies. S Gavaskar was hardly mentally weak. Sachin was a bit vulnerable though but he had huge pressure of being the only hope from public for a large chunk of his career. Even around ganguly and Dravid people expected a lot from Sachin alone.

Doesn't matter they take the team to finals.

You need to be in finals first to play finals.

The problem is there. The khadoos batting style is to blame. It puts unnecessary pressure on batsman from Mumbai.

Sachin is a biggest choker the world has ever seen should be no questions.

Ouch OP.   I see some "sneks" have vomited their poison here already.

 

 

How did Sehwag do btw in the T20 and WC finals?   He wasn't from Bombay, was he?   Some other non-Bombay worthies weren't even good enough to make it to those finals.

But who cares.  Narrative and Myth re-inforcing important. Facts not important.
