Hardik injury *ed up the lineup.

 

After that the deep batting won us both 24 and 25.

 

We can win 2027 if NKR develops well.

 

Hardik is the MVP of the team

True. But Axar can still be replaced by Abhishek or Parag but Pandya is irreplaceable.

 

Wish Pandya hadn't gotten injured in 2023 WC and we would be celebrating a hattrick of ICC tourneys

Boom is a better ODI player than them all. Plus Shami was also injured.

Cummins as a package in ODIs is almost as good as Bumrah, his batting against Afg, and in SFs played big part.

 

Starc is an ODI giant.

 

Hazlewood damn good.

Pakistan humare joote ke neeche

Shami would never have gotten a look in if not for Hardik's injury.  Siraj and even Thakur were entrusted above Shami till then. 

[deathmonger]

Best thing is Kuldeep putting in a clutch performance.

 

Just like Bumrah did his reputation a world of good in 2024, Kuldeep has done it today. Taking out both Ravindra and Williamson.

Ideally Hardik would have recovered and Siraj would have been dropped.

 

This lineup is good with 3 allrounders. 24 and 25 both finals we won cause of 8 batsmen, 6 bowlers formula.

He's both the mvp as well as the equivalent of a bands bass guitar player. It doesn't work without him even if he doesn't always stand out.

That may be so. But I still feel that with Hardik in the team we would've been a much more balanced team and still played the final.

 

Losing Pandya forced us to play that useless hack SKY.

Why? for 75 year old dancing on Indian win was great to see, he still has so much energy for 75 year old.

This was a great win because it closed many chapters.

 

1. CT 2017 revenge by kicking Pakistan out in 4 days and then kicking the final out from Pakistan and winning it.

2. Revenge on NZ for various KOs

3. Hardik-Jadeja finish the chase they could not in 2017

4. KL gets his trophy and gets some closure

5. Shami gets an ICC trophy after years of service

6. Kohli's legend grows due to a 100 vs Pak in a chase vs a MoM vs Aus in a chase in a semi

7. Rohit's legend grows due to MoM in final

8. Kuldeep finally kicks ass in a final

i cannot share so enthusiastically the glee in denying pakistan the final. that is just wrong. don't play them. fine. don't go there fine. but not having the final is there is wrong. i don't have a solution mind you. and when india try to row back on the hybrid model when it's their turn the issue will be compounded

the pakistan government has a policy of propagating terrorism which results in the loss of indian lives.

 

denying them the final is a very merciful humane way of retaliation.

 

everyone does that.

 

the russians, one of the best in the world are not even playing olympics.

India has won 24 of the last 25 matches in ICC games ODI and T20  . One game we lost was the ODI WC final in 23. Great dominance
