BlueBlood Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 This is one of the biggest FTB and minnow bully since a prime Dhawan. Can't win in clutch matches, can't perform when it truly matters and he gets rated as if he's a ABDV or Pollard. Pollard won MI so many clutch games including finals. This guy fizzles under pressure every single time. Funny thing is due to his performances in irrelevant games, he will be selected for years like Dhawan was until he gets exposed where it matters.

vvvslaxman Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 His game is a high risk game. He can literally fail in any game. or in all games pressure or no pressure. He is an X-factor player. He is neither a finisher nor an opener. He is a middle order batsman who may come early but rarely bats till the end. Hard to do that with high risk approach. But as long as he is there he can completely put off the opposition's plans and strategies. Others have to play around him. This is why i don't want him in ODI. He can become villain overnight. In T20 it's okay. Kothili 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) The issue is NOT SKY who is seen as a unique player (India for e.g. has not had a batsman with such 360 degrees ability. He is inspiring many young cricketers to play like him too, shaping how cricket in India could be played in the future). He does not need to be like anyone else. The issue is with teams such as MI that are over-reliant on one player. One player cannot always pull a team. The law of averages can catch up negatively too. He has already given his best! Agree that he is not necessarily a clutch player but a team has 10 other players. Edited May 17, 2023 by zen Kothili and nevada 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Did ABDV win many clutch matches? raki05 and Kothili 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One man cannot win matches.As a team we should try to get the best out of him. You don't achieve that by relying on him. Sehwag has produced some magical knocks in Tests. But he has often gone missing in ODIs randomly. We accepted it because that is his game. raki05 and Suhaan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THey got into a situation where every single game had to be a perfect game for them very early. But for him they would have already been out of the race. velu and nevada 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) Wasn't OP going to quit ICF? Even made a thread about that Anyway OP has a chronic problem where he disses all Indian cricketers (every single one of them!!!!), he may back someone for some time and eventually turn against him a few months later. Can't take such a poster seriously. Edited May 17, 2023 by Gollum velu, nevada, raki05 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
