Bigg Brother Posted July 8, 2024 Share Posted July 8, 2024 (edited) Played 4 Wt20. Did okay in last 2. As I said even in squad thread, Pandya would do okay despite having horrible IPL. Edited July 8, 2024 by Bigg Brother Link to comment
Frustrated Posted July 8, 2024 Share Posted July 8, 2024 Credit where it is due. He did exceptionally well with bat & ball. Amazing turnaround, despite so much controversy going on for last few months (incl. IPL captaincy) And most importantly, this time there were no loud mouthed talks from him before or after the WT20.

Adamant Posted July 8, 2024 Share Posted July 8, 2024 Did well this world t20. But in no way is this a great performance, good performance and deserves praise, should lead our t20 side from now on. Still think he is a poor mans Yusuf Pathan with the bat. Link to comment

Ultimate_Game Posted July 8, 2024 Share Posted July 8, 2024 Pandya is as clutch as they come. Shows up against padosis all the time, and in ICC tourneys. Even in 2022 WT20, he was the one who got us to 160 odd as likes of Kohli were batting to set a target of 140, and then had the gall of blaming bowlers Kron 1 Link to comment

And he is the reason why streak was broken. Thanks coolie Ultimate_Game 1 Link to comment
Kron Posted July 8, 2024 Share Posted July 8, 2024 Coolies record in knock outs Now lets look at ODI knockouts; world cup and champions trophy Average of 34.56 in 10 innings at a SR of 87.9 with 2 50s and both are not outs**** smith averages 103.6 in 4 innings with a SR of 88.4 with 3 50s and a 100 with one NO So is coolie really a better player in odi? I don't think so brothers. So sad. Link to comment

As 'clutch' as he is claimed to be, still yet to deliver a MOTM performance in ICC knockouts. Even here he got saved big time by SKY. That delivery deserved a six. Link to comment

In 2022 WT20 he was the only one to show up in the SF against Eng. And this WT20 he was the MVP and he had a higher impact than even Bumrah as per cricinfo smart stats! Clearly our best player alongside Bumrah. Even in the final he was the one who bowled 2 of the last 5 overs and got crucial wkts. He was as clutch as anyone in that situation can be. Pandya along with Bumrah are the reasons we won the WT20. Nothing but respect for him Number 1 Link to comment

Nothing but respect for him In 2022, he struggled massively with the ball. Here he was good support but that's about it. His wickets in the final were not great deliveries but due to pressure created by Bumrah. SA are the reason we won WT20 lol. Pandu is great but still lacking a main act in the knockouts. Too quality to not do so. It's TM's fault too to bat him after Dube. Laaloo 1 Link to comment

You can talk about SA choking all you want but it was Pandya who followed up that wonderful Bumrah over with the wkt of Klassen and gave up only 4 runs in the over. And then bowled the last over. He did much more than others and should've been the MOM in the final along with Bumrah. His performance this final was as big an act you can possibly get with bowling figures of 3/20 off 3 overs. Doesn't matter whether he got lucky but the fact is that he showed up and performed when it really mattered. You replace Pandya in the knockouts with any other player, and we probably lose the match. If we had Siraj bowling against SA instead of Pandya, Klassen & Miller would've smashed him all over. Link to comment

Any bowler can get wickets too if lucky, even Siraj. Link to comment

Any bowler can get wickets too if lucky, even Siraj. I have yet to see Siraj get lucky against any other team except SL. Pandya performed in the final and his delivery to dismiss Klassen was spot on - a wider slowish delivery to get an edge. If such a stellar performance is luck, we can very well attribute every MOM performance by any player to luck. This is akin to Kohli fans saying "Dhoni was lucky in ICC tourneys to win finals" to explain his poor captaincy. Pandya has consistently performed in big matches and has been clutch, which shows its much more than luck. And even if its luck, I would rather have a "lucky" Pandya in the team over others.

Klaasen's wicket totally halted SA and its not a guarantee that SA would have won had Sky spilled the catch. Equation would have been 10 off 5. Miller could have gotten out the next ball too.
