Sachinism Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 I know you are all excited about IPL, but let us not forget this special day 3 years ago. Rasgulla, The Dark Horse, DHONI_FANN and 4 others 6 1
Clarke Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Yes! We beat the mighty bangladesh! nevada, Ridgepi, Laaloo and 1 other 1 2 1
kubrickian Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 One of the funniest finishes in cricket history. Needed 2 runs in 3 balls and they were already celebrating and ended up bottling it. BrantFUGH and UrmiSinhaRay 1 1
SK_IH Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Yep that was the funniest, the legend Mushfiqur will always be remembered lol Real McCoy and BrantFUGH 2
Gollum Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 That was a brilliant comeback by us, one of our most under rated wins. Toygers have given us too many scares in the recent past, only a matter of time before they string together a few consecutive wins against us. BrantFUGH, Ridgepi, Stan AF and 1 other 1 1 2
AuxiliA Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) A very memorable victory. Especially in context of the tournament. After getting mauled by NZ ,a lot of things needed to fall in place for us to reach semis. NZ had to beat Australia and we had to win 3 consecutive games. After this miraculous match and Kohli's masterclass against Australia when we finally reached semis, it felt as if we were destined to win that WC. But Alas! It didn't happen. F*ck you Rahane!

My overall memory still is the below par batting line up due to which we had a limited chance. Rohit/Dhawan have been primarily odi players carried to t20s. Yuvraj & Dhoni were done players. Kohli & Raina were the only ones who could get going from ball one. BrantFUGH 1

Yep, it was not an quintessential T20 side, plus Hardik and Bumrah were in their infancy in intl cricket. Not to forget, Ashwin-Jadeja as spin duo, gosh that team should have never made the SF in first instance lol BrantFUGH 1

If I remember correctly, it was Mishra & Ashwin that carried us to the 2014 final and again the batting fecked up royally. BrantFUGH, SK_IH and Gollum 2 1

Not to forget, Ashwin-Jadeja as spin duo, gosh that team should have never made the SF in first instance lol Our spin duo wasn't that bad in the 2016 edition, Ashwin was nowhere near as good as 2014 but even in this Bangla match it was he who led the comeback from a hopeless match situation and got the MOM. Then the spinners clicked against Pak in the group stage as well. We lost that WT20 because of under par batting, thankfully Kohli was GOATing, otherwise we would have probably lost all matches. We lost the SF because of a number of reasons, Rahane's tuk tuk and Dhoni having one of his worst captaincy nights played a big part, as did the no balls, dropped catches and excessive dew. Plus pitch/ground dimensions/conditions were tailor-made for WI hacks, and to their credit when they are motivated and firing they are a scary T20 team.

Ankit_sharma03 Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 One of the best match ever.........Gotte muh men aa gaye the Ridgepi 1
Adi BB Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 One of the most exciting matches in recent memory ,I remember people celebrating by bursting crackers near my house BrantFUGH 1
Gollum Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 Potentially Bangladesh could have knocked us out of a WC QF knocked us out of WT20 woh bhi hamare ghar mein beaten us in an Asia Cup final (50 overs) beaten us in the final of a tri-nation (Nidahas) tourney We have dodged so many bullets, luck may finally desert us at a crucial juncture and Toygers will become unbearable . Results column don't show the true picture, boy have they improved in shorter formats. Respect Bigg Brother and BrantFUGH 1 1
