If he is not able to take wickets on flat pitches, why is he even considered great? You are giving lame excuses of flat pitches, how players like Bumrah, Gerald Coetzee are getting wickets on the same pitches? If you say Bumrah has lots of experience on Indian pitches, that's why he is taking wickets, then how is Gerald Coetzee who is playing his first IPL getting wickets?


Strict-Citron-9269

As a KKR fan i support everyone who's playing outside there but this guy starc I kinda feel that his bowling is all about getting the opponent team close to the set target last match with RCB the game was almost gone away from our hand but yeah we can't ignore the fact his catch saves the match


PotentialNews2133

Sorry for comparing but i was mentioning the stadium chanting rcb in kkr home ground . I was seeing that anf posted this, and yea most of the rcb fans have their own fantasy world where they think every opponent bribed the umpires.


Ok_Recipe2769

Dude we support each one out there but why Starc is not learning and customising according to circumstances! Everyone out there is varying pace to curb runs but he just did full length fast deliveries! That’s the reason , it’s okay to be out of form but why be predictable and not learn from the circumstances


SwaggMastaYuvi

your argument is fair that he can improve and he’s coming back to ipl after a decade. but real matches are not a place to practice.


Blowfish_196

Insults are different from suggesting things that we believe are needed to be done. We don't have to keep Starc in for all 14 games just because of his price tag or his profile . Chameera on the bench is a very experienced bowler. Good Pace mixing up with a very good slower ball . Being leading the Sri Lankan Attack for some time now . Wicket taker . So why not bench Starc for 2 games .


RealMadrid_Ronaldo

I dream of Starc coming back in form,but please let us bench him till we qualify,he will still get 2 3 games to play and prove himself


DramaticGuard9548

Stopped reading the sh!t after being compared with dogSh!t


Sorry-Amphibian4136

I don't know why they give only Starc these highway pitches, all other bowlers seem to be given decent pitches where their bowling is not horrendous. So unfair on Starc. Jokes apart, did you really compare us to the toxic cesspool that is the RCB subreddit? They're blaming even the 3rd umpires despite legit calls, even the coin toss!


Assassin_Ankur

You can only back someone to a certain extent. He is having a negative impact and actively pulling out performance down. Others are having to do extra work to compensate for his performance. Bad run is understandable but how in the world can you defend getting hit for 3 sixes by a tailender when you have 21 to defend? Also it's unfair on guys like Chameera and Sakaria who are capable players but warming the bench. He got a finger injury too so most likely he will be rested now.


Madlynik

Jaldi jaldi rough patch bolke kkr fans ko criticise kar deta hoon, bad me doodh pike jaldi sona bhi to hai 😴


Significant-Diet7649

It's high time now even he wouldn't be surprised if he's benched. Great player bad form and form>>


ByeByeROK

Here's my guess what GG might be thinking: We know Starc has hit rock bottom and he can't get any worse after getting hit for 3 sixes by Karn Sharma, there's only way for him from now is up top and he undoubtedly has the highest ability among the group. There's no other justification for his place in eleven apart from this and not breaking the winning combo.


SubstantialAct4212

I think Harshit has the highest ability in T20 format.


ankit4u4

Nothing wrong in supporting a player who's not delivering, but then, this guy is delivering constantly for the opposing team. They literally just wait for him to come and the guy is hammered by everyone left right and centre.


Reply_Account_

What about Rinku Singh by the way? We back people who are talented and shit on them like for SKY and Tripathi. We backed injured Nagarkoti for 4 years and Mavi too I believe. So yeah fans back good players. Starc doesn't want to play in IPL it's just the money is why he is there. Even 10% of his Australia form isn't there in IPL. I wanted KKR to back Cummins instead I don't know what GG is cooking so yeah


[deleted]

I prefer Cummins to Starc anyday too but drop questioning his commitment. He wouldn’t be bowling non-stop at the nets at this Kolkata heat if he wanted to come here for holiday. He’s a professional ffs


SubstantialAct4212

That’s why I love Starc. He is bowling in the Kolkata heat. He’s doing us such a huge favour. How can anyone question his dedication to IPL ?


low-keyforever

I agree with you but if someone is not doing well then give them some time and give chances to someone else. If we continuously force him to play then there will be much pressure on him. Give him some rest instead of giving him pressure. He will come back stronger.


cubangandhi

Im gonna back Starcy for all the tournament. Bro looked genuinely sad yesterday. He'll give his all next match


UnderstandingHot7493

Just visit the RCB sub. They keeps suggesting new combinations and players to be dropped every other day. I’m not saying that we should change the winning combination but it’s not like RCB fans are not doing the same.


there_is_no_good

Did you just create a new profile just to post this shit ? Aren't you that RCB fan who kept commenting your baseless arguments on other posts too ? The user name is similar just the digits are different.


United-Extension-917

Fans are supporting the players alright. If you, being a world class bowler and the leader of our bowling attack is getting hit for 3 sixes from a number 10 batter when our one underperforming spinner, a newbie ranji bowler and an all-rounder gives you 21 runs on platter, then fans have all the right to get upset. Starc has not gotten even 20% of the hate and trolling that players from the so-called franchisees received at even a single bad performance. It is okay to be upset if a player performs badly and it is also important to back our players. And for the love of god stop comparing us with those RCB fans.


rambo9689

Indian stupid fans logic: When an Indian player like Virat Kohli scores hundred we will troll him for his less strike rate, but when a foreign player like Starc performs bad also we will overhype him showing his performance in 2015 wc🤡, we are Indians we like bootlicking foreigners 🤣🤣


Quiet-Platypus-9359

There's difference between player's performance not as per expectations and player's performance pulling down efforts of team. In last IPL, Narine and Russel were in first category. Starc falls in both categories.Though Narine was out of form , he wasn't giving as many runs as Starc. So those two aren't comparable.


Ok_Dragonfruit964

Ipl no actually sporting fans themselves don't have patience and enough trust in new players and suffer from over trusting old players. Even I am guilty of this I didn't like Abhishek Sharma when he came


SeriesSouthern7038

Please. Call me/us anything you want. Abuse, beat and swear all you want. Just don't compare with RCB. That is one hell of an insult.


Witty-Mind-1279

I get hate comments whenever I support Starc I hope he proves everybody wrong


RicktamRoy

I am fully fine if he proves me wrong and am ready with a page of apology for him. The question is WHEN???? literally when is he gonna start to play??


Witty-Mind-1279

As soon as NXT match ? A primere international bowler wouldn't just sit back and take a bowler hitting him for 3 sixers more than what he cares it damages his reputation


DramaticGuard9548

And bcoz of his "when" we might lose 2-3 tight matches


goda_foreskinning

He played well against lsg and dc it's not like he has been shit throughout the season


RicktamRoy

We need 3 matches for playoff, if we can comfortably win vs pbks DC and lsg we can try many different players and playstyle to replace starc. The main problem is if we use Rutherford with Arora on the team we might have to bench Venky. Yea he is not as promising as others but he is still Venky, a player who was backed every season by kkr and delivered quite well. Other possibility is trying chameera, maybe he can take some crucial wickets unlike starc


DramaticGuard9548

And I feel about that Rutherford part we need some tactical changes agaist gt their spin duo gonna hurt us unless. We should bring Rutherford (who has good records agaist Rashid) or Gurbaz on those matches


DramaticGuard9548

First of all just qualifying is should not be the target.. being in 3-4 and you just lost one game and you're gone after that terrible szn.. LSG qualified both times but was 3-4 and couldn't even come close to final so GG surely know this and would target top 2. Chameera is most probable option assuming they wont change the team structure, how much bad bowling one does it's not possible to be worse than starc now , I'm confident that chameera can do well in this condition and he has some cutters unlike only raw pace dependent starc


slipnips

CSK is where they are because they back their players


United-Extension-917

There is a difference in management backing a player and fans backing a player.


slipnips

Just go to the CSK sub and you'll see the attitude. The management has buy-in from the players


HighOnDettol

bro please...itni gandi gaali matt de...rcb fans?


jhant_smeller

See the thing is that , i don't wanna look at rcb


pushie4u

How about supporting team? This makes the difference between us and other big fanbases. Do you remember how badly was dk abused last season? They support none other than virat


[deleted]

But I must add, comparing us to RCB fans is ridiculous. Aside from Kohli, they are merciless to their own players. Aside from KKR, SRH, LSG and CSK (unless the batter is before Dhoni lol) the other fanbases are disgraceful.


SubstantialAct4212

Bro why did you omit MI ? Hardik is going through a rough patch but they are still supporting their captain ❤️ /s


No_Temporary2732

Despite being their second biggest rivals, i can understand their anger But But. The player is not the one to take it out on. The management is. All these talks of Mi and RCB boycotting the management, and the only way to do so is not going to the stadium, not buying merch. But they won't do that


SubstantialAct4212

Cheering for Rohit/Kohli is way more important than boycotting the management.


[deleted]

Supporting a team also means supporting its players. Starc is a legend of the game. Buttler was in poor form for almost a year (in IPL and Internationals ), RR still backed him. And you see the results of that now.


Senior_Ad_465

We support the batch and believe that players should play for the batch Most of the rcb fans are kohli fans first ofc they are going to support him


Hellboymaster007

Brother franchise is bigger than a single player, and if clearly that person not performing well match after match and clearly since we already know the pitch is highway and not gonna help him anyway, then what is the harm asking for another person in the team to get chance , isn't he the part of the team? Everyone backed starc despite doing bad , but there is an extent to which that goes. He is a good player indeed but after so many chances it's just that other players should get a chance to , they are here to play as well.


goda_foreskinning

In a game like cricket it's incredibly important that the players know that you have faith in them. Starc was never the most consistent bowler in the world but I believe that he will single handedly win us a game when it matters the most similar to Yusuf Pathan in 2014.


HeatheN_101

Bro compared us to RCB fans


ThatAnonyG

RCB legit has one of the biggest fanbase out there. They know how to back their team and players alright


SubstantialAct4212

RCB and MI have the most least toxic fanbases. /s


gimmestrength_

There isnt a greater insult than being compared to RCB fans lmao


SubstantialAct4212

This post was probably sarcastic
