I know Sundar is not an option for LOI. We have been toelrating Jadeja for more than a decade in multi formats.

 

Gambhir likes him very much though. Also a terrible fielder unlike Jaddu

This pitch has been used before where RCB had got 155 too but Wolves had chased it. 
 

Now the pitch is even more used so to get 155 again can be competitive :dontknow:

 

Let’s see how the Wolves go … they need to bowl out RCB

A despondent GT have put a rubbish total. Even Kohli can tuk tuk his way to this total with many overs to spare. 

 

But I'm so happy GT is losing this coz if they won it would've set a wrong precedent that you can win tourneys with such type of a top heavy team.

But Jadeja was used as a finisher in two foramts for more than 10 years.

Krunal for T20s as a replacement for Axar if Axar is injured.

 

Bhuvi for ODI WC if no other pacer steps up. Bhuvi holding one end up will give more chances for Bumrah to pick up wkts coz batters won't be able to block both ends.

 

And why couldnt he do that in WC 2019, WT20 2021 and 2022

Sundar played to the best of his abilities, at least GT has a fighting chance. 130 all out was on the cards today. 

 

Keep Sundar out of Team India. But he wasn't the culprit today.

Sundar looks same tbh. Only saving grace is long levers so he can work on his hitting

Same here. This is one of the worst structured team. Thanks to doctored Ahmedabad pitches they got to final.

Pitch not that easy. Sure GT is probably 30 runs below par but they can fight. Take Kohli out jaldi, he excels in these sort of chases.

The worst SR wise has been the 15+ Cr  Buttler.  Figures ...... overrated overseas.

Why is everybody blaming Sundar for 50 off of 37?

 

How about Buttler with 19 off of 23?

 

Sundar was more than 1.5 times the great Buttler.

if you dont even try to hit after 15 overs fter getting set its not best of his abilities. We all saw him hitting sixes in Eng and Aus

Sundar can never step hit with that style of downswing with crouched stance. That is a good approach against high bouncer which he deasl with better than anyone in our side. But  i have never seen him step hit a single ball even with that height. He has the potential. But he never does it.  HIs trigger movement is suitable for back foot punches. That's it.

Buttler has been struggling for last 2-3 years. Horrible knock tonight.

Ya. He is  limited. He is not a choker or selfish. He just gives whatever he can

Coz our star batters went missing. Do you know what they did in those tourneys? They did the same thing which GT did today. You can blame bowlers all you want but at the end of the day batters need to step up and hold their end of the bargain.

 

In 2019 our batters couldn't chase 239 against NZ and it was Kohli who sat Shami on the bench and played that useless Chahal. WT20 2021 and 2022 our batters laid an egg. They scored 150 against Pak and 110 against NZ in 2021. In 2022 they scored 160 odd on a patta at Adelaide where the par score was closer to 200.

 

Our bowlers were let down by batters before we changed our batting approach post 2022 WT20.
