Will Ind do a hattrick of losing out of a knockout place? (T20WC22)

[zen]

2021 T20 WC -> Out

2022 T20 Asia Cup -> Out

2022 T20 World Cup -> ?

 

Already 2 events where Ind was knocked out before the knockouts despite its strength on paper and relatively favorable conditions. ...  May be the law of averages of something should help or are we looking at a 3rd consecutive early exit?

[SandeepMotta]

Very likely with thus team management and the players being picked. When mediocre players like Bhuvi and Chahal are treated as sacrosanct then the team deserves to lose.

[cricketfan28]

we will likely lose to pak but make it to knockouts.

[wanted_desi]

Ofcourse, we are back to 90s. Only thing is that there is no Tendulkar to even making games worth watching.

mouth watering contest that one  -> Bhuvi v Shaeen

[mani sha]

Question is which team will be worse than us . I feel we will be competing with Bangla bandhus to be the worst team of the tournament . Bangla still will do the naagin dance at least once . We are left with chahal Bhuvi dance 

[Majestic]

That's the likely outcome!

[nevada]

That's a given. But even after the early exit, we will see the likes of Kohli, Bhuvi, Chahal etc getting selected for bilateral series with Afghanistan etc. Nothing but pain ahead for Indian cricket fans. Remember how Kedar Jadhav kept getting picked almost a year after the 2019 WC debacle?

[R!TTER]

Their PR mafia will be in overdrive post WT20, we'll get some useless bilateral 100-300 against Siri Lanka & Bhukhe will get swing in the winters.

Everything will be fine & the world will move on, rinse & repeat - unless it's all phixed & we lift the trophy 

[Adorable Fan]

Unless we are chasing and winning in most games by batting miracles ..we are on course to crash out before knockouts if we bat first .. Bat first even 250 runs won't be enough for the limp bowling attack (Stats and avg fetish) we carry. Excluding Bumrah, teams can target 15 to  24 runs a over from other pretenders if required.

 

The bone dead TM not going change the personnel now. It's better these Trundlers get smashed to put some sense into this new TM and selectors to back young performing pacers and develop them. Given only pace is not important but need to have control. But without giving chances at domestic or A tour, how the potential pacers will learn to hone their skills. We are going to lose with the aging Trundlers why not select and give chance to kids like Tyagi, Umran, Sen , Mohsin and let them learn even if getting smashed. Atleast they can get experienced and maybe better serve in future and have upside.

 

At this rate , these Trundlers might return to Test fold also soon looking at the A team selections also

I hope they do... but its futile to assume something like this ( or anything for that matter) will give BCCI and TM a wake up call and change their ways

 

Tum log hi ho chewtiye fans hope lagake bethe ho

[Lone Wolf]

Star sports is daily telecasting 2007 T20 WC matches lol...   Mafia & PR from BCCI is at work 

After early exit they will show programs on IPl auctions & foolish audience will forget all this...  Boobie & Yuuuuuzzzi Chahal will be called big trump cards etc

[putrevus]

If guys like Pandya did something of note in any of  the matches in those two tournaments.India would have qualified.

[maniac]

T20 is a lottery and this WC format seems to be even more so. They should go back to the every team vs every team template and maybe adopt the IPL knockout template to add more legitimacy to the ultimate winner.

Ind did reach the SF of T20WC22 but because it thrashed by ENG and it reached there by virtue of having BD, NED, & ZIM in its group, I am going to count it as another fail. 

 

0-3 

 

Worst performance by an Indian captain in a year in multi-team events

they also had the giga-chokers SA in the same group. it was basically an inevitability that they would qualify. however, even here, let's look at the results:

 

comfortable but not gigantic victories vs Zim, Ned (not good enough)

squeaked to a win vs Pak (not good enough)

choked against giga-chokers SA (bad)

nearly lost vs Bangers (bad)

got a 10 wkt thrashing from Eng (so bad that it's good)
