sarcastic Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 With the heavy defeat against RCB, it is safe to say MI are out of contention for a playoff spot. What went wrong for them this time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariyam Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) I see what have done here. They have sacrificed their hat trick for the country. The bulk of the Indian T20 WC side is from . It makes sense to have them well rested before the tournament. Hence have decided to not qualify for the play offs and let minnows like CSK, KKR and RCB bask in spot light for an extra week. Years from now, when people look back at this Indian win in the T20 WC, 's selfless sacrifice will be remembered. Go tell the Indians, passers by Here as Ambani's diktats compel us, we ( ) lie (in defeat).

zen Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 At this point with 4 games still to go, is still in with a chance. However, so far: a) Law of averages. Difficult to be consistent in every season. Players form change. b) QdK-Kishan opening p’ship broken. These two were hot last season. Should have persisted with them even at the biz end of the last season. c) Formulaic captaincy. For e.g. to keep left-right combination, Krunal was sent up the order, leaving too much to do in too little time for Pollard and SDP. Even if the team has an off season this year (CSK was last yr for e.g.), it is not a big deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevada Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Kishan should have been sent in to open. Either QDK or Rohit could have batted at 3, which is almost like opening spot. But I guess they don't want let go of the powerplay. SKY has lost form. Pollard is also not doing great. Pandya is not even worth mentioning as he hasn't done anything of late and expectations are super low for him. Cricspin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real McCoy Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 what do you mean what went wrong. things are going according to plan. how many times have the mumbai slumdogs look at the brink of going out only to pull a rabbit (by rabbit I mean ) out of the hat at the last moment to win 4/5 remaining matches and enter the playoffs and winning the trophy. Pretty much every time. mumbani rules the mafia coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok let’s see MI players in our squad Rohit, SKY, Ishan, BUmrah , Chahar and a half-fit Pandya. Ishan might not play with KL and Pant around and our Kaptaan opening. Chahar with Jadeja, Ashwin aur Varun in squad is tough to play. Kahe ke credit le rahein hain MI waale Anway , agree with you, this is the best T20 squad in last 12 years, India is doing good with IPL clout finally Edited September 27, 2021 by coffee_rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
