Gollum Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 KLR 132* RCB 109 ao How often does this happen in T20 cricket? In ODIs and T20s there are examples, like Jayasuriya 189 match, Rohit 264 or Hayden vs poyzzz in 2002 Sharjah test. Gayle and Baz in IPL, any Indian before Rahul? What a message though. Now how will Kohli bench him in T20Is to accomodate Dhawan/Rahane? My only interest in this IPL is performance of youngsters (mainly DD), with the T20 WC scheduled next year hope others like Pant, Iyer, Shaw, Gill, Gopal come up with similar performances. And yeah hail King Rahul, the best T20 batsman in the world since 2016 Once in a generation talent!!!! raki05, sergio04, nevada and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) Wasn't Rahul with RCB earlier? Gun batsman, Indian so no quota problem, in his prime years, has another skill as keeper so not 1D, box office entertainment, local lad, why the hell did they let such a gem go Kohli's insecurity? RCB TM/owners' 4D chess? Edited September 25, 2020 by Gollum Forever Indian and raki05 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post nevada Posted September 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2020 Kohli was so rattled during Rahul's innings that he dropped 2 simple catches of him. With this humiliating defeat, he will be rattled even more. If RCB get Rahul out cheaply in their next match, he is going to scream and jump like he won the world cup. sscomp32, Norman, sergio04 and 8 others 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigg Brother Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Letting go KLR has to be the biggest blunder of RCB..As inconsistent as Rahul is in LOIs, he is by far the most suited player to open along with Rohit for India in t20s and he has displayed it many times. Cant believe he could not find permenant fixture in t20 team even after his heroic knock in florida in 2016. Dhawan and Rahane should be nowhere near Indian t20 team. sergio04 and raki05 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he was dropped in T20I once, he was averaging close to 50 and had 2nd or 3rd highest SR (145) in world? He was ranked among top 10 T20I batsmen in world and had scored 2 fifties earlier. If a batsman can be dropped with that form, anything can happen. sscomp32, Gollum, Stan AF and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though he was treated harshly in test cricket in second half of 2017 (despite his brilliant series against Aus that year), he lost his touch/confidence in that format in 2018/19. He needs to prove himself in FC and India-A tours to mount a comeback. But so badly treated in the other 2 formats. Snubbed in T20s after his epic start in that format in 2016. And this TM had so much time to nail that #4 spot, clowns tried Raina, UV, Rahane, Jadhav, Rayudu, Pandey, Shankar, Dhoni...basically everyone apart from Rahul/Iyer, 2 guys best suited for that role. KL failed in 3 innings in Lanka 2017, so booted out. What a dumb* agenda driven TM!!!! Even young Kohli would have been turned into Umar Akmal by this TM.

Gollum Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 Correction. In the 2017 SL series KLR was sent as #4 in only one of the 3 matches. Other two times he went in as #3 and #5. Imagine the clownery of our TM. Gives a youngster just 3 chances in the MO, but even there sent in at 3 different positions in 3 innings. WTF!!! What's even more bizarre @SK_IH, we played 5 ODIs in that series. First match we won by 9 wickets. But in other 4 matches we had 4 different players at #4: 2nd ODI: Jadhav at #4 3rd ODI: KLR at #4 4th ODI: Pandya at #4 5th ODI: Pandey at #4 All a build up to playing Pant at #4 in the WC SF No wonder things turned out the way they did. raki05 and SK_IH 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just sad. I hope people see how Virat Kohli can never be considered in a debate regarding great captaincy. The fact is Iyer & Rahul both were mistreated in the run up to the world cup, which sabotaged India's chances. sscomp32, Gollum, Forever Indian and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechEng Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 The most elegant Indian batsman since Laxman and Dravid's retirements. Such sound display of hitting boundaries and sixes yesterday.
