Lol what am I reading 

 

and rahane is not selfish either wth

Batted  at SR of 100 even when he had scored 55. 

 

Good innings for him but useless for team.

how could he have done that when they were 7 down by 15 overs?

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

The game was winnable upto 15 overs , the way he massacred Unakadt  in last over  he should had done earlier

You are discounting pitch from ur analysis. And lack of wickets and lack of big hitting from the other batsman stoinis.

Even in Odis it is a strategy that is probably 10 years too old but may still work once in a while 

nah .. invented by miandad in 1990s and pefected by Dhoni in 2000s :p:

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.

16, 18 , 20 th over was bowled by Unakadt , and he massacred him in last moreover he hit 3 fours on Archer when match was lost

No complaints till 17th over. Rahul did the right thing till then. But he should have accelerated a bit after that especially Unadcutters over.

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

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.

Exactly. 

 

If this were a flat pitch, his knock wud be selfish... But this pitch turned into a bloody hard turner which changes the equation.

As I said This whole stupidity of waiting till the last over mindset is screwing India again and again....This May work in Odis but not in T20s .

 

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

Thats worrying for K11Punjab. 

 

Even with Unadkut, Lomror, Binny, Anureet in opposition they lost if by 16 runs which is good margin for T20 win.

Thanks to everyone scoring in single digit. 

 

Rahul 95

Stoinis 11 off 15 balls

Rest under 10

 

Woeful
