How do you describe this inning - 37 (59) when RRR is over 15?

You can't expect output when you have just limited input.

 

Classic case of Incompetency.

Incompetency would be if he had tried and still failed. Like stepping out, swinging and missing.

 

Here he is just blocking.

Like watching a khatara helicopter trying to take off but failing to do so .

Lone warrior.. No support from another end. Match practice for next game.

But he scored in IPL and tweaked his technique so the process is good and that's all that matters. Just ask @Ankit_sharma03

Warriors fight rather than hide and save themselves.

Well playing the Devil's advocate,Stokes played a similar inning in the last game

But again that guy was setting a target where something is better than nothing.

Yep. Selfless masterclass. Had an easy 50 there for the taking but got out while trying to hit . Should play till 2023.

Would have been ok if it tried to take off. But here helicopter just didn't start engine thinking that it won't fly anyway.

Agree, top 3 batsmen will make sure they don’t leave anything to MS, after seeing his painful net session today

Didn't really hide. Did the smart thing and had of bit of net session/ batting pracrice for the next match. If it's a patta our middle order never gets to bat anyway. Top 3 finishes off most of the times.

So that PR team can say he was 3rd highest scorer of game. Who cares about SR?

Should have some shame and just drop himself for a better player who can actually win the game no?

Doubt he had 50 in his mind. We ll all milestone crap to sachin . 2023 is bit too far at the moment. One match at a time. 

 

So roll on 3rd ODI

Yeah, he was just playing for his each and every run. That's how bad this inning was.

Net practice started from 27th over

Shame for doing the smart thing and having a bit of net session for himself ? It's upto Captain kohli to drop him. No one can win a game from that. It was already gone.

Why waste energy . Didn't he once claim he was glad to have 2 free days after we lost in 3 days.

This innings was very suspicious, I wouldn't put it past Dhoni to have fixed this match, after all he and Raina were named in Mudgal Report. That old CSK gang bar a few have extremely dodgy reputations....Bravo, Baz, Jadeja, Raina, Dhoni etc have been accused of fixing/perjury/bribery and we had 2 of those in today's match and both played absurd knocks. There should be a full blown enquiry into today's match for transparency purposes. I am not formally alleging that they fixed but watching Dhoni's forward defensive strokes in 46th over was dubious to say the least.
