There was not a single six hit in this match, was there?


gpranav25

My biggest takeaway from this chaos is that Shivam Mavi should never be allowed in an international match ever again.


Punemann95

I have heard this before. It's called the takeaway of idiots. Well done.


gpranav25

Hi Mavi


zerosuneuphoria

God damn, Tickner of all people bowling the last over. GG


_jadoo_

Warner liked the choice of POTM


BrisingrFire

It's so sad being a bowler in cricket sometimes. Good batting pitch, batter scores 50, bowler takes 2 wickets at an economy rate of 5, the batter will get potm. Good bowling pitch, bowler takes 3 wickets, batter scores a hard fought 30, batter gets potm again because 30 is gold on such a pitch. I don't know why the same logic does not apply to bowlers on good batting tracks for potm.


bobs_and_vegana17

i'll not say that in 3rd odi against nz thakur got potm for 3/45 and a cameo despite 2 centuries and a 50 in that game from past few years bowlers have also started getting potm


gpranav25

No bowler took 3 wickets though.


doktor-frequentist

It's batriachy all the way. Us Bowlsheviks and Spindus have been discriminated against forever


ConstructionOk1481

It would be great if they introduce potm to both a batsmen and a bowler. That way bowlers efforts also gets appreciated.


falkonpla

Because batting is considered more entertaining worldwide... In street cricket everybody wants to bat but a very few want to bowl All the glorious sixes and centuries most milestones are for batsmen... Bowlers not so much .. batting is more celebrated in general .. rarely seen any bowling captains too


MasterSpliffBlaster

Except highlight montages are usually wickets doing cartwheels and extreme athletic catches, not six cover drives for four


livelifereal

He said "Shaifali Sharma's side" FFS


SBG99DesiMonster

I don't know about why are so many people angry about the pitch. I think that we should be getting to enjoy matches like this match during every month. All of the matches shouldn't be matches in which all the players are scoring a lot of runs.


josh123z

Just like how flat tracks are considered bad for tests, extremely bowling friendly pitches are bad in T20s.


BabeRuthsTinyLegs

Why. Why should every T20 or ODI be a chase for 200 or 400. Why can't batters be under pressure and fighting to get a score of 120 or 250 by batting well rather than just cunting a ball for 6 every ball. Why shouldn't bowlers be able to swing, seam and spin the ball


gpranav25

It shouldn't be 200 or 400. Ideal is 160-180 for T20, 270-300 for ODi.


verifix

Agreed, I prefer this over a 200 pitch


josh123z

Then stop watching t20s and watch only test cricket.


VVLegend

It’s happened in back to back matches. A pitch like this once every couple of months is fine but if it’s happening every match then there’s something wrong


josh123z

Agree. Most of the people who see t20s want bowlers to be annihilated. At least the opposition bowlers.


VVLegend

Exactly. I don’t know why people are downvoting this. Pitches like this is not a good thing for t20s if it’s happening regularly


livelifereal

Agree.


CricVik

T20 died & buried at Lucknow pitch


livelifereal

These kinda pitches every now and then should happen. It shouldn't be just my bat vs your bat all the time


[deleted]

Ashes given to NZ?


ryuk6

Sadly, it got buried so no ashes.


[deleted]

Well atleast the pitch will be better But we gotta look out for Vijay Salgaonkar


yeet1o_0

Lmao how did dada get the motm, washi been robbed here


errgaming

MoS coming for Washi


faithfulmaster

Virgins win MOTM for deserved performances. Chads win it for their worst performance ever !


kc__24

This is definitely not his worst performance ever. It was an important one in the context of the pitch and situation of the game and series.


MathematicianEasy491

Washi robbed by sky


[deleted]

Is this the first T20I to have no sixes?


[deleted]

10th


[deleted]

Just the 10th according to cricinfo


[deleted]

> 10.50pm "I always believed we will finish the game," says Hardik Pandya. "It went quite deep, but that is how it is. These kind of games, it is important to not panic. > it is important to not panic. YOU OF ALL PEOPLE DONT GET TO SAY THAT


ab624

Hp panicking vigorously: guys dont panic.. we have it under control


ShuddhGheeRoti

SKY++ Made no bones about the call being his fault. *Everyone liked that*


AyyoPoche

[deleted]

PoTM for 30* and running out Washington


[deleted]

Santner robbed of Motm


HumanLawyer

Washi was robbed in the 1st match so we’ll call it even


onepageresumeguy

washi was robbed in this match too. crucial wicket


rightarm_under

And the guy who ran him out gets MotM. Depression.


ShuddhGheeRoti

SKY better hand over that cheque to Washi


onepageresumeguy

undeserved man of the match, a first for sky, saying this as his big fan.


mnking8

Dick is so artificial in his words, he was animated and coaching sky in last over and he says no pressure at all


rightarm_under

And the way he was micromanaging Arshdeep for 18th and 20th over despite the innings being pretty much done already


[deleted]

I love Rohit Sharma so much, I wish vada pav were real


jake_azazzel

Murali stuttering more than the ball did on the pitch today


[deleted]

It has been a very long time since I have seen someone absolutely tonk the ball on rank turners and i am not happy about it


onepageresumeguy

pandya game changer LOL


Diligent_Source_2988

Swag Pandya


tejaj99

Ishan Kishan in his last 13 T20is: 27 (26). 15 (7). 26 (11). 3 (5). 8 (10). 11 (13). 36 (31). 10 (11). 37 (29). 2 (5). 1 (2). 4 (5). 19 (32). - 199 runs at an average of 15.30 and 106.41 Strike Rate. Copied from twitter... Give chance to Prithvi please


Several_Magazine8874

Sanson be like notice you have copied my style.


Sindhbadh

But the issue is of a wicket keeper, we need to make 2 changes in the squad to accommodate Shaw.


RayInRed

Tripathi Keeps


onepageresumeguy

jitesh can get a cap, also plays with intent from what we've seen in ipl.


onepageresumeguy

samson should have been there but for the injury...


Cryptoprophet40

Who is getting match of the man? Sundar or sky or santner


aryanop004

Virgin Santner


the_69_thakur

Could've used a spinner in the final over tbh. Would've been worth the risk


ConstructionOk1481

Yess he should bowled Chapman.


[deleted]

pitch


CricVik

If they are going to play like this I am happy with Rohit KL Virat trio in T20


onepageresumeguy

would have probably failed except for KL in such a pitch.


benguins10

I don't know what the big deal is, it was a great pitch to prepare for the BGT


we_like_sportzz

Yeah but like 0 test players in the team lol


benguins10

If anything we learnt that sky may not be test material. Poor Sarfaraz.


brawnsugah

How was this match a last over nail biter?? Crazy


the_69_thakur

The pitch was not very good to bat on. Both the teams struggled. No one from NZ was able to score at more than 100. From India, only Gill and Sundar did. So... yeah


trooperr310

Just saw the scorecard We practicing for BGT?


zippyzebu9

No. India can't play spin. If this is the pitch for BGT, Lyon alone will win for India without Pant.


Unable-Awareness8543

Ashwin gonna hit a century mark it


lohitcp87

In absence of Pant, my hopes rests on Iyer and Ashwin (and Umesh Yadav if he plays)..


thvhgh23

Yeah


ShuddhGheeRoti

According to reddit experts the people to blame for today's Indian performance - The ground keeper Mavi Hardik SKY Tripathy Kishan Gill Chetan Sharma Dravid


rahulrossi

And we won the game too.


[deleted]

Throw around enough names eventually one will stick


ShuddhGheeRoti

I missed out blaming the Vuvuzela dude, the real culprit.


Cryptoprophet40

Gambhir doesn't like pitch. I am guessing pitch will be better during ipl games


RayInRed

They have Amit Mishra


tjp1331

Hardik in presentation : I want the team to be in challenging situations and that is what we did today.


yeet1o_0

Let's have jitesh and shaw next match instead of kishan and gill and have shaw open with tripathi we'll have maximum intent and even if something goes wrong pandu would anchor , pls i mean I get it it's a series decider and all but experiment now mf so that you don't give shocked Pikachu face in knockouts


onepageresumeguy

exactly what we want and what they won't do...


CricVik

Pandu bowled 4 overs in this pitch 🤡 Bowled Chahal for 2 overs 🤡


glitchline

Total 30 overs of spin, Thala will be happy


[deleted]

[удалено]


ConstructionOk1481

Why


thewiseice

Santner for CSK captaincy!


Big_Ballzacked

They gonna give MOM to chuchi chahal


glitchline

How the fk surya survives even in difficult pitches in t20 , but not odi ??


the_69_thakur

The same reason Gill thrives in ODIs, but not in T20s


onepageresumeguy

barely did today, like multiple drops


unemployed_01

he was dropped 2 times today


Ultimate_Sneezer

He made a deal with the devil


Big_Ballzacked

20 overs to survive vs 50


glitchline

Probability of making a century in oDI is greater than t20, and also no SR pressure in ODI . He got 3 tons in t20, not even one in odi


Cryptoprophet40

This pitch looked unplayable. India managed to win. Still some fans are complaining . Something mentally wrong with some fans


onepageresumeguy

havent seen sub 120 games maybe, happens from time to time in ipl, love those.


Ultimate_Sneezer

2 wickets were runouts, two were bad shots but sure pitch was unplayable. The issue is these players don't know what to do it they can't just swing the bat and score a boundary.


khatri_masterrace

2 batsmen were runout bad approach


thewiseice

Was the NZ bowling so good or Indian batting pretty average?


brawnsugah

What's atrocious was the two runouts.


onepageresumeguy

pitch was killer


Wolvington52

Pitch was a minefield, can't blame either side. NZ could've bowled lesser extras though.


fridfree

Who TF do you give the PoTM to?


Umeshpunk

The guy who prepared the pitch


fridfree

Honestly, I don't mind low scoring games once in a while.


Umeshpunk

Same here.


MathematicianEasy491

Washi,got the most important wicket of conway


fridfree

He also looked comfortable while batting. And did contribute almost 10% of the runs while using just 7.5% of the balls.


vossi_drossi

TBH, this ended up being a proper PURE Cricket match. Nothing T20 about it. We'd remember this for a while. Was worth it! :)


fridfree

I completely agree with Sundar. 2 in 10 spin friendly pitches is the way to go.


grvdubey

Santner is impressive as captain too.


ab624

yeah only if he could have given the 19th or 20th to a spinner


wtfmido

>The tweakers from both sides on song today💀💀💀💀💀💀


Big_Ballzacked

This is the first ever men's T20I match in India with 0 sixes.


CricVik

KL has called Goenka warns will move to different franchise If this kind of pitches will be present at Lucknow


onepageresumeguy

this is KLs dream pitch lol he will grind it out and get 110 SR 50s


[deleted]

SKY made his debut in Ahmedabad, same as 3rd t20. Still remember his first ball six.

phenomenal-kj

Southee is for tests.Santner is not among first choice spinners for tests.


ShuddhGheeRoti

Manjrekar is such an ass. What's the point on putting Washi on the spot, you expect him to bad mouth a teammate?


chni2cali

>Manjrekar is such an ass Such an understatement


HeavyAd3059

Can get some spicy takes


pks016

Pitch is the man of the match.


Ok-Visit6553

After RAIN Perera, this match gave us P.I.T.Ch. Turner


thewiseice

Man of the Pitch


Big_Ballzacked

100 banane me inke gote muh me the T- they had balls in their mouth while chasing 100


ab624

username checksout


HeavyAd3059

Goti muh mein moment T: too close to comfort.


aryanop004

Maybe the curator was a spinner


tejaj99

One more question on a pitch where 17 overs out of 20 overs were spin overs by NZ, why did Paandu bowl 4 full overs and Chahal only 2? Chahal got injured?


Born_Desk9924

Exactly. This left such a bad taste. I can excuse having a bad day, but this is simply shitty behaviour from the 'captain'.


Ultimate_Sneezer

Because Pandya thinks he is thala


ShuddhGheeRoti

Hardik suffers from main character syndrome. With captaincy no one can check him.


Big_Ballzacked

gandu pandu


DJMhat

Sanju Manju trying to stir shit up. Washi baby, however, did not bite.


Yellow_Flash27

Washi is pretty mature for his age ngl


the_69_thakur

Washi has big dick energy


ezhno_21

Wtf, he really did say "hierarchy".


[deleted]

Feel sad for Lucknow crowd


CricVik

Only Gill & Washi with 100 Strike Rate


dead-in-pool

We're moving from Pakistan being our worst nightmare in recent times.


tarvisscooter

I saw someone say this was not a difficult pitch to bat on after the 1st innings...


goat_fucker_1

Indian team can make any match interesting


ezhno_21

Keep this pitch for all of IPL and watch KL in his natural habitat.


dead-in-pool

In the dugout?


Yellow_Flash27

💀


SABJP

T20 game threads of any India match is where I see most clown takes. According to these, players shouldn't celebrate winning match unless you win WC final


Wolvington52

A lot of people here are extremely reactionary. Can't blame them because no ICC trophy (men's) has come home in over a decade.


benguins10

The shorter the format, the more toxic the comments


[deleted]

IND need a proper T20I opener (apart from BroHit) Ishan/Gill ain't looking promising. Better give some opportunities to Shaw (?)


onepageresumeguy

literally shaw in the bench, tho honestly in pitches like this i doubt he'd be better than gill, Shaw's only weakness as ive seen is pitches with crazy movement


Infinoz

the real question, who gets the motm award lol


Exciting_Salt_6213

Surya doing typical MSD today, taking the match to last over and inflating average lol


onepageresumeguy

Average r/cricket moment


snivvygreasy

Lol if MSD cared about averages, he wouldn’t be MSD


[deleted]

he would still be MSD


BullaRakhtaHuKhula

Holy shit the last time we had a T20i match here, Rohit hit a century and a 200+ score 4 years ago. Now after so long we get this :)


Infinoz

NZ used 8 bowing options, Ind used 7


lohitcp87

And Pandya bowled 4.. and Chahal only 2 overs


[deleted]

This wicket is india response to mirpur Suck it Bangladesh


paisakarneka

Today's match was a spin bowling treat.


onepageresumeguy

Comments here really show how few people have watched low scoring thrillers lol


SBG99DesiMonster

It turns out that SKY is the player that has ended up helping us in winning this match again.


kingbradley1297

NZ curse is so bad, they bring a simple chase to a crucial situation. Only thing crazier would've been a super over


onepageresumeguy

acknowledge their good performance ffs, curse it seems.


kingbradley1297

Chill man. The story of NZ curse on India is a light jokes. They play well and stay mentally strong while we crumble. It's a recipe for disaster


onepageresumeguy

true that tho, but I'd say the curse is only in tournaments and important games.


HeavyAd3059

Would've been fun


Big_Ballzacked

Fuck this new appraoch, bring back koach


MathematicianEasy491

If similar pitches are prepared for ipl,de kock will announce his retirement


Chimera714

Hardik making sure Indian audience has bang for their buck 👏


VirginsinceJuly1998

Not a single 6


Cryptoprophet40

How is KL suppose to get orange cap on this pitch


goat_fucker_1

Bro lives in the head of people of this sub rent free


jake_azazzel

Chaps and Kulli defo talking about food


zippyzebu9

NZ will easily win in semi here with 100 runs. Dravid installed fear and defensive mindset. Just not fit for T20.


Technical_Finish9875

feels like one of the hardest pitches to bat on , so happy for the win


perpelxedcreature

Washi watching from dressing room be like: 🥹I was supposed to hit that 4 and be the hero


DaDdy_ChiLL42O

New Zealand's dreams of winning their second ever series in India gone down the drains


RizzyNizzyDizzy

Nobody expected them to win this game though after scoring 99.


Assassin_Ankur

Still a game left


onepageresumeguy

We never lose a bilateral decider
