Lund umpire

"Who the fukk is the third umpire"?

I don’t know what they were thinking in making Tilak Verma captain. Might as well have given Rinku time for form and experience. Maybe be forward looking but I can guarantee Tilak’s innings will be Babaji ka thullu. He is a gun ODI player and don’t know what Agarkar was trying to do forcing in different formats.

 

At some level it is also IPL teams’ fault. Giving players like Tilak who don’t have a T20 game so much limelight is really backward. We all saw how Tilak struggled in tough pitches and his inability to chase any high score and up strike rate not only in MI, but in the handful ODIs he played as well. He is only great at strike rotation, that’s his game. Hope this improves sooner rather than later.

Ball is gipping and spinning

Harder to hit spin it seems.

Tilak should look to stay till the end and give these guys free go.

[Chamsi]

And there you go, already started their tuk-tuk. Moment India are making headway in playing a new brand of T20 under SKY.
We all know through so many discussion that there is no space for an anchor in this format. Tilak is not a SKY nor a Ashutosh, nor an Abhishek, or a Rinku. We need hitters, and Tilak is awfully weak for T20.

 

Sometimes one hits and other takes rest, then the other starts. They’re not going to get a big score scoring ones and twos.

90/2 in 10

Ideally, no. It will only slow everyone else down. Both need to try and hit. How is it fair for only one player to go for the big hits. Wickets don’t matter in these T20s and we have Ramandeep coming up. I’d rather Tilak get out trying to hit it outta there.
