They lost 6 wickets and one of them was Ashwin so technically they were 5 wickets down.Moreover he had stoinis on ther side with whom he won last match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And lack of wickets and lack of big hitting from the other batsman stoinis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Drive Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 This attitude of taking chase down to 20th over is just rubbish. T20 greats like Gayle keep the tempo going for most part of their innings. Not comparing Rahul with Gayle, no way. But one does expects at least some intent in a chase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pollack Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 No complaints till 17th over. Rahul did the right thing till then. But he should have accelerated a bit after that especially Unadcutters over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jusarrived Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 1 minute ago, sensible-indian said: Im surprised ppl didnt get what he was trying to do. It was all a matter of one big unadkat over in 18th...which didnt happen. Also archer getting every damn yorker right played its part. Plus stoinis having a bad day wjere he couldnt hit even 1 six..... Kl rahul did his best to pull off a heist. I was blown away by his thinking. He’s showing he can do a Viru as well as a Dhoni/Virat . RR did put up a good bowling performance , no lose balls and lot of variations . KL was just taking it deep and probably looking at 60 of last 4 and backing himself to get 2 big overs of those , just fell short imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lannister Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 1 minute ago, jusarrived said: It was pretty good knock , in fact it shows he can play down the order too . It was 14+ cod rest of the team lost 7 wickets of 50 balls and barely scored 40 runs between them He will learn from it. He was waiting for others to step up while he anchor the innings and go big in the last 3-4 overs but that didn't happen. He should try to approach the innings like Kohli does.

But this pitch turned into a bloody hard turner which changes the equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in Odis it is a strategy that is probably 10 years too old but may still work once in a while No one plans to wait till last over , punj had lost this match very early And the only way of giving them any chance of win was keeping your wickets sensible-indian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
