“yes they are chokers, there is no denying it”

- Kapil Dev

 

 

What do you guys think? Maybe losing a close game in a knockout with a brain fade might be choking….but a loss by 10 wickets?

 

choking or thoking?

they are not chokers, because they are a very mediocre team that overachieved to get into SF (kind of like Brazil in 2014 footer WC). instead, it is more accurate to label them "jokers"

Kapil paaji has no idea what choking is lol India losing to England in 1987 world cup is a proper choke. Just needed 50 runs in the last 10 overs with 5 wickets in the tank. He holed out in the deep of the bowling of Emmings. Anyway we understand your passion. Just want to set the record straight. This is not a choke. More like shellacking.  Probably India should have fielded first. But Rohit said he would have batted first too.

But he Won the World Cup so earn the right to say it. India was always going to lose in 1987 because 1983 win against that Windies team was true miracle.

From when did you start watch cricket? 1992 lottery cup?

England was playing with 7 Sky type batsmen, india with 5 babar type. How is it chocking ? We pulled out best in world swords for a battle and wonder how did we lose to a side which brought cheap guns.

no, we were favourites and 1987 was a proper choke.
