sandsaims Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 KL Rahul said Strike rate doesnt matter needs to be blamed for the Kings 11 Defeats on more than one occasion. Today, Knowing dew will play a big role and with Gayle going well played at a pathetic rate and what could have been 210-220 ended up being just 185.

SK_IH Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 This is the exact reason I don't rate Indian batsmen in T20 cricket. Samson is an anamoly along with Pandya & Pant. Pant has weirdly started to ape these innings builders this IPL & has been unsuccessful. Imagine Pooran playing the balls that Rahul wasted with his dilatory innings. zen, Gollum and raki05 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkt.india Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Gayle's ugly hoicks, slogs, huffing and puffing brought them to 185 but two classy innings by stokes and Samson made them chase without a sweat. Classy batting better than Gayle's ugly batting. Gayle is such an eye sore to batting Edited October 30, 2020 by rkt.india nevada and saged 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffee_rules Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Without Aggarwal, there are only two impact batsmen , Gayle and Pooran. He has to bat carefully. When Aggarwal comes back, this is jais. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestic Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Rahul has played IPL 2020 for a Cap of orange colour. May have win 3-4 games for his team but also costed 2-3 games. Stan AF, someone, sriniwu and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedheat Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Traits of selfishness in his batting yesterday , often gets jammed after a good start he did no different in a match against Pakistan last year in WC.

LordPrabhzy Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 KL has a insecurity that if he gets out repeatedly cheaply while trying to go big in the early parts of the innings then his India career is finished- he would rather comprise strike rate, and accumulate runs just so he is always in the reckoning for India. Typical indian sportsmen mindset of playing for themselves rather than the wider team nevada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diga Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Give that guy a break.. This is first season of captaincy and he has tried to do the best for his team. He wants to give his team a fighting chance with some runs Compared to other captains , he hasnt done too badly. Kothili 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still has some aggressive intent, but something is getting in his way of his shots connecting. My gut tells me that he will stomach these failures and come back stronger.
