Yuvraj cost us this cup. | Stones pelted at Yuvraj's home

[suraj]

You know a batsman is really struggling when he cannot even get himself out really poor performance and BTW Lankans were smart in deliberatly dropping his cataches to let him play more and suck up the momentum On another note though why are we acting like Pakis with the stone throwing crap- let it go but team selection and batting order needs to be fixed

Why is noone showering stones on the selectors home. .they are the real culprit. .

he was the well set and in form batsman,so should have done better on those deliveries and tried to retain strike rather than giving it to Yuvi. Kohli missed deliveries due to growing frustration?You are underestimating him hugely.

Those deliveries were great deliveries. So he did the best he could, that is, take singles so that it is not a dot ball. If he had played more deliveries, he would have been able to form a plan, predict the next delivery and improvise. You cannot do any of these if you are playing only 1 delivery per over. In the over he hot 14, he hit only 3 balls, but he got to play the entire over

[Marut]

Sri Lanka bowled very well in the end. Yuvi was struggling to get the singles, but Kohli was struggling to get anything more than a single when he got the strike. Same thing happened with Dhoni. SL did their homework for the Indian batsmen, it is very obvious. Indian batsmen were not in good form throughout the tournament. Though they had to chase only 130s, they were using up 19 overs or even more while chasing down these targets. It was only a matter of time before they were going to have an off day in which this batting weakness was going to get exposed. Unfortunately it happened in the finals.

Act of cowardice this stone pelting.

You are ignoring one simple basic thing and keeping on repeating like a parrot The gist is, if you are facing maximum deliveries then you can improvise and make the over count. Just like Kohli did with Kula's over Dhoni and UV both faced most deliveries instead of giving to the set batsmen by taking a single. If they had, Kohli would have scored much more on the same great deliveries because he would have plan for an entire over And no, a batsman should refuse the single only in the worst possible circumstances. So Kohli did the right thing

In end overs you don't plan full over. You have to have a go at everything whenever you get a chance. If Kohli had to plan, he should have planned while seeing thing from non-striker's end. No doubt that YUvraj was pathetic and didn't show any sense of urgency until very late, but give credit where it is due - to SL bowlers. India played 11 balls after Yuvraj got out, but scored only 11 runs and if I recall correctly 3 of them were extras - a bye for 2 runs and a wide. So nobody was able to put the ball away. But yes, I agree this was very fundamental mistake to not give Kohli - who was set and in-form batsman- as much strike as possible.

You can't play like this in T20s - Yuvraj was finding it difficult to strike the ball, so how will he be able to take a single? His forward defensive stroke in the later stages of a T20 match showed that he was low on confidence too. If he was in his groove, he would be trying to hit the big ones not the singles. If you are able to take singles at will, you are a set batsman in form, and may very well go for your big shots. It was a horror day for Yuvraj, where nothing went right for him. T20 is a bit more difficult to play compared to an ODI. In ODIs you can afford to take some time to get into form and blaze away in the end. T20 is very punishing, there is no time to settle in, and on that bad day you need the extra time, you look like a joker in the middle.

Kohli got more in Kula's over because he was on strike from the first ball and didnt take single.and he hit a six from the FIRST ball of the over,didnt need any time or balls to make plans etc. then. After that whenever he came on strike he also played it for dot or singles.and he did get strike fairly regularly except the last over when Dhoni batted

[CrazyCric]

[Rotating Potato]

People blaming kohli for not scoring enough of the balls he faced in the last over are pure ignorant. There's a thing called momentum guys. Once UV sucked it , those good balls turned into unplayable balls. If we had the momentum with us going into the death overs, we would have easily scored 10 runs an over at the very least. Instead what we were left with was utter frustration and negative momentum coupled with pisitive desperation at seeing the match slip away with every dot delievery. One man fecked the cup.

Yuvraj Singh all set to make a grand comeback in Test cricket The Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapaksa has called up his delegates for an urgent meeting to confer the highest civilian award of Sri Lanka to Yuvraj Singh for his outstanding innings in the T20 World Cup final that has helped the islanders to lift a World title after 18 years. It was innings par excellence which has altered the course of history. The ICC’s panel of experts are now coerced to give away the ‘ICC T20 performance of the year 2014’ award to the Punjab lad, as it turned the game on its head, though some would frivolously argue that Rangana Herath’s bowling performance against the Kiwis was far better. The BCCI’s big boses call the shots among the international boards and would make unfeigned efforts to make sure that Yuvraj gets his due. The trauma and agony of defeat that India went through in the Test circuit in the recent years is all set to be effaced, as Yuvraj Singh is destined to make a grand comeback. His innings at T20 final brought swoons of joy for purists of the game, as his defence looked rock solid. Rahul Dravid would be feeling blissful, as the elegant left-hander has found his touch after the former’s retirement. Now all the onus is on Cheteshwar Pujara to rise his game more than ever to hold on to his No.3 slot, as Yuvraj Singh displayed his credentials as India’s premier Test batsman in the T20 final. In the autumn of his career, Yuvraj has finally managed to bury the ghosts that haunted him in whites. Even the opponents he came against were left gawking in awe and astounded by his forbearing patience to occupy the crease. This augurs well for team India with the tour to England in July. Meanwhile this has also left English captain Alastair Cook in a quandary. With the stylish southpaw coming back, Cook has already decided to plot several plans to outwit the left hander, but the innings today was so exquisite that it highly looks unlikely that Cook will retain his captaincy after the tour. After the modern day great-‘Graeme Smith’, it is now Yuvraj Singh’s turn to become English cricket’s dearest foe. http://www.sportskeeda.com/cricket/satire-yuvraj-singh-world-t20-final-test-cricket/
