rollingstoned Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 1) Rcb got destroyed and Thakur of all people played a memorable knock so that they scored over a 100 runs in the last 7 overs. He also looks slimmer now than he did a month ago somehow. 2) Rahane played an unbelievable knock out of nowhere. 3) Shankar also played a brilliant knock to take GT to 200 by destroying the KKR attack in the last 5. Venky Iyer was the star performer for KKR and when it looked like KKR would run away with the game, stand in captain Rashid Khan took a hat trick to break the back of the run chase and with KKR needing over 29 in the last over. We all know what Rinku Singh did so i won't mention it here save for saying that we should close many of the threads that keep coming up about how there are no finishers, LO hitters etc. Dayal bowled a crap last over and bottled it tho. Suyash the leggie has impressed in both of the last 2 matches. 4) Dhawan also played an ATG IPL innings but unfortunately couldn't make it a ton that was Steve Waugh-esque in it's character considering the situation it came in and helped Punjab post a score that they actually had a hope of defending which didn't look in the slightest possible at the halfway mark in the innings. Markande had an excellent performance with the ball in this match. Overall the past few days has been the revenge of those who were recently dropped from the Indian team.

zen Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 IPL is a long tournament, it happens every year, and a lot of players are involved, therefore, there is an opportunity for players to cash in if in good form (and vice versa if not in form)! Good to see such performances. And yes, too many unnecessary discussions on “don’t have interest in IPL (it is not anyone fault that your team does not do well and that you keep on following such teams. IPL is not just about team India)”, India lacks power hitters (usually comes from Rohit-Kohli fanboys as if the duty of every other batsman is to allow these two to play ODI cricket to stats pad in T20s), and so on.

He just couldn't find the boundary no matter how hard he tried yet also didn't get out. Time to retire me thinks. nevada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth be told, I went for Dhoni's inauguration of the seats where that WC winning 6 fell. The game was an add on. But this was a total capitulation. I've had a good record. have won around 25 of the ~30 games I've attended over the years. rollingstoned and Stan AF 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2020s, that is not the case (though their fans could take some time to realize and come to terms with that). MI has lost its sheen due to players that were wrongly retained (poor auction strategy too) and now need to be replaced, a process that may take years. CSK, once Dhoni retires, will lose its charm too. Edited April 10, 2023 by zen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vvvslaxman Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Rahane encouraged by Dhoni to 'be Ajinkya Rahane and play like Ajinkya Rahane' "I just want to back myself, I've never tried to be someone else," the Super Kings batter said after his 27-ball 61 vs Mumbai ESPNcricinfo staff Can someone translate this lol Throwaib_Chuckter, rollingstoned, Lord and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A certain expert on here who is accused of being a jholachaap has often said he is being played in the wrong format since Indian test team is missing a medium pace AR who bats very well but I don't know much about his domestic exploits.

Maybe even Eng. As a #6 cum dibbly dobbly medium pacer, he will add a lot of value in those places. Much more than the likes of Iyer, SKY.
