Screamed at Sai who was hurtling from the deep to grab the ball and save a 2. Pandya is not just a West Indian but also a Tillakratne Dilshan lite. The captain has high expectations from the wolf pack: Wanted Miller to go for a 6 on the last ball of the previous over, where the ball was in the slot. There was no need to take a single as a set Batman would be in strike the next over. Because Miller took that single, the Wolves had to take unnecessary risk on that single (so he did not shout for his own fault but for creating an unnecessary situation) With Shami, the need of the hour was to go for a catch. He expected to a wolf to go for a catch versus stopping a boundary where possible. And so on. Wolves play with passion

Also not everyone judges cricketer without actual facts and as if every captain is supposed to act same and for the camera.
zen Posted April 14, 2022 Author Posted April 14, 2022 After 5 games, only team to reach 8 points ... And now #1 on points table after the game versus RR: TEAM M W L PT NRR GT 5 4 1 8 0.450 KKR 5 3 2 6 0.446 RR 5 3 2 6 0.389 PBKS 5 3 2 6 0.239 LSG 5 3 2 6 0.174 RCB 5 3 2 6 0.006 DC 4 2 2 4 0.476 SRH 4 2 2 4 -0.501 CSK 5 1 4 2 -0.745 MI 5 0 5 0 -1.072
zen Posted April 14, 2022 Author Posted April 14, 2022 Versus RR, a strong team ... lost toss, batted first, had a slow start, but still came back hitting 120/1 in the last 10 overs ... Terrific bowling in dew as well even survived the Buttler storm ... Whatever weakness GT has, it more than makes up with the energy, enthusiasm, passion, & fighting spirit of its captain -> Sir Don Pandya: Adamant and Mariyam 2
zen Posted April 14, 2022 Author Posted April 14, 2022 Next game versus CSK on Apr 17 at Pune (so dew not a major issue) ... It is the 2nd game on Sun

Adamant Posted April 15, 2022 Posted April 15, 2022 Finally a good batting performance by Pandya. But let's look at the fast bowling lineup shall we - 1.Neesham 2.Prasidh 3.Sen This pace lineup was right up his alley, won't get a weak attack like this in international matches especially world t20. Won't be convinced with him as long as he doesn't perform at International level. Lord 1
