Stop blaming slow starts if Middle orders are crap/unreliable

[maniac]

I saw Rahul getting killed the other day when his team couldn’t chase 18 in 18 balls with 7 wickets in hands

 

After a decent start MI I got bowled out for a sub par score the other day.

 

Kohli and Dev D fail and RCB gets bowled out for 75.

 

Fans need to temper the expectations

33(30)needs better advocacy

What did Rohit do in first half and last ipl?

MI is damn sucessful outfit,whats Rohit strike rate,even in wins he hovers around subpar SR,last 4-5 seasons he is around 125 , he's not contributing with the bat in win either

Mumbai Indians probably have the best squad in the world, so blame surely lies on Rohit if he eats up 30 balls.

MI probably has the best MO in the tournament with Sky, Kishan, Pollard.

Rahul didn't even bat slowly. They just choked for no reason. They couldn't score 4 of 6 with 8 wickets in hand and you are talking about weak middle order. Even 8, 9 should be able to score that much

That shows they have 0 temperament so openers go with the intention of batting long and finishing the games themselves and hence forced to pace the innings. That’s what has been happening with the Indian team

Rohit,Kohli has no such excuse. Both MI and RCB are good. Also Rahul mostly converts his starts and covers up for his SR.

RCB's problem is that they need to have one absolutely destructive opener. Going with two guys striking at 130 doesn't help. But in this game, the middle order also failed. Needed one cameo from someone of 30-40.

i wanna say a lot, kaha shuru kaha kharam but to summarize in one word EXCUSE

[Ankit_sharma03]

Kohli was batting slow even in 1st phase when Maxwell n ABDV were firing big time 

 

So its just an excuse
