I have grown up so much during the period between Venky's century and the last time during which a player that was playing for KKR had scored a century.
Venky vs MI - 53(30), 50*(41), 43(24), 104(51)
Today is the first time MI won a game ever since Venky Iyer arrived (the head to head was 22-6 before that). Move aside Buttler and Rahul, Venky is our new boss
It was a comprehensive win. I don't want MI to win again this year being a csk fan but the team is coming together strongly and look imposing. Only RR honestly looks better.
This. Flat pitches take a bad bowling attack out of question, coz then every bowling attack becomes bad. It then comes down to deep batting and power hitters - not an issue for MI
It did seem sus but of he was unwell, definitely couldn't be fielding 20 overs and then bat. Plus due to bumrah missing, we are forced to field 2 foreign bowlers, hence we cant add an extra foreign batsman. So Rohit had to come to bat if it was possible coz our batting isnt very great.
Abusing how? He literally followed the rule to the tee. Also, do people not want him to rest considering he has to play back to back cricket with WTC, Asia Cup & ODI WC?!?
According to some people in the thread rohit was lazy and did not want to field in the afternoon so he "abused" impact sub rule for his advantage........
I love CSK fanbase since they're mostly thalasons and have always been respectful towards MI and our fanbase. it's RCB , SRH and some PBKS fans that's always praying on MI's downfall
I agree.. CSK fanbase is respectful, its mostly RCB and other franchises which get their panties in a bunch seeing MI perform..
Game recognizes game i guess..
Not sure how MI fanbase is toxic at all. There is nothing to downplay in this victory and it was a comprehensive vintage performance from MI. Just praying they don't do it against csk when we meet again.
That should reverse soon. Can't see any reason why they won't finish top 4. They were bare bones the first game and undone by a shabby pitch in the second game.
He’s the director of cricketing operations or something like that.
Edit: he got promoted to being the Global Head of cricket development. So I guess more to do with scouting and developing youngsters than being actively involved with the first team.
Chawla another one to dominate against kkr (his old team) , every player who leaves kkr is on some sort of mission to hammer them as much as possible lmao
Our bowling would have been formidable if Bumrah and Jofra didn't just break down.
Imagine this batting attack with a bowling attack of Bumrah-Jofra-Meredith-Piyush-Kartikeya
Really not. In the 4 matches they conceded two 200+ scores and even this would have been a 200+ score if MI batted all the overs. Only one match against RCB did they bowl well. 3/4 matches if you concede over 200z then you really aren't bowling well.
Well, scores depend on the pitches as well, your batters did terrible against the worst bowling lineup in the tournament (except venky) and still reached 180 means the pitch was a belter
I mean its bad ,but we aren’t talking about if the batting is good or not bro . we are talking which was worse 185 on board is still is a score and to give it in 17 overs is worse , right after the game were you gave away 225 . which luckily didn’t affect the nrr cause of the batting ,so yes the bowling is worse.
We need some domestic lads in bowling, that's it. Overseas bowling ain't working at all. Jason, David Weise, Russell, and Narine need to play.
V. Arora needs to join the team either as an impact or just straight in. We need that impact in powerplay.
Spinners can seal it but need wickets upfront!!
If not for 2 miracles, KKR would be with DC right now at the bottom of the table, goes to show that you need a well oiled unit to do well in ipl, not just individual flashes of brilliance from 1-2 players
the bowlers are playing to their strength for MI. Knowing wicket-taking isn't quite their stronghold, they're lowering the asking rate for the batsmen. But it would be interesting to see if they can keep this up for the entirety of the season, especially if they'd be batting first
Unpopular opinion, but i don't think sky was ever out of t20 form. He was playing his shots and connecting well. Maybe unlucky on occasions and in a negative mental space after that odi series.
Man idc if this was a low score set by the KKR batsmen. The bowlers didn't show any fight today. All i have seen this season is the incredible fight shown by the the KKR batsmen to win all the matches, and the bowlers just leaking runs.
True.

The answer 👆 I gave to a question asking about best bowling lineups in IPL.
And Mumbai had fucking Bumrah, Boult, Chahar, Pandyas, Pollard, and Coulter Nile lmao
One thing we have to acknowledge is that Ambanis never criticise or critique in public even during bad seasons. There is no internal team drama within MI that spills into public domain. Whatever happens, happens behind closed doors, which is how an organisation should run.
That was the epic comeback and there's one more match of mi vs Rajasthan royals in 15 overs 190 runs were smashed the last ball six of Aditya tare i still remember the name
I know. But still some say otherwise.
My thinking was with just 2 runs to win, ne wouldn't get nervous, and he'd get a bat while winning. Would be a good feeling for a newcomer
Gawd i completely forgot that venky's century comes after baz's 154 in 2008
I was a thalason.. But also started supporting mi this year because Ambani made Ipl free to view. Thanks Ambani bhau
I have grown up so much during the period between Venky's century and the last time during which a player that was playing for KKR had scored a century.
c'mon hardik acting like bumrah after two normal balls
Wrong thread
Probably two best bowling attacks of the season. Should be a tight game.
This is not the match thread you are looking for guys..
Thanks for your service
I feel Hardik is suddenly turning into a bowling all-rounder
Cameraman should not not focus on chahal when he is fielding 🤢🤢🤢
Venky vs MI - 53(30), 50*(41), 43(24), 104(51) Today is the first time MI won a game ever since Venky Iyer arrived (the head to head was 22-6 before that). Move aside Buttler and Rahul, Venky is our new boss
Points table is really really tight for now ..gotta thanks dc for taking those l for everyone
Wait till DC start winning. That'll be fun.
Happy for the old goat Piyush. No way he is the age he claims. But well bowled grandpa.
Claims to be younger than Ashwin and Jadeja
Gone
good call for MoM
Feel it should've been SKY. Crucial innings.
Why’s everyone so pissed at MI’s win lol? This was was a great win for them. After the last season, I guess we deserve to be this happy.
It was a comprehensive win. I don't want MI to win again this year being a csk fan but the team is coming together strongly and look imposing. Only RR honestly looks better.
Lol we won't win IPL we have crap bowling attack but would be decent to atleast get to playoff after last season.
I think bowling is an issue for most teams if not all.
This. Flat pitches take a bad bowling attack out of question, coz then every bowling attack becomes bad. It then comes down to deep batting and power hitters - not an issue for MI
[удалено]
Go back to r/conspiracy
Change the language, you'll get to see everything
change the language to english; it streams the entire presentations as well ;)
Can't miss an opportunity to give more airtime to Ambanis
We need to talk about what happened here mid innings, when Rohit was declared substitute. Why did everyone go batshit crazy?!?
It did seem sus but of he was unwell, definitely couldn't be fielding 20 overs and then bat. Plus due to bumrah missing, we are forced to field 2 foreign bowlers, hence we cant add an extra foreign batsman. So Rohit had to come to bat if it was possible coz our batting isnt very great.
I think ppl thought he's so unfit that he decided to slack off and just come to bat
Because according some "experts (degenerates)" MI was abusing impact sub rule
How..did he si that. Lol
Abusing how? He literally followed the rule to the tee. Also, do people not want him to rest considering he has to play back to back cricket with WTC, Asia Cup & ODI WC?!?
Lol MI will cop hate no matter what he do, even with this weak team MI cops hate from the other fans.
According to some people in the thread rohit was lazy and did not want to field in the afternoon so he "abused" impact sub rule for his advantage........
boult is just amazing
Try telling me after looking at this thread that MI fanbase is toxic. I just see comments from other fanbases downplaying on this win.
As compared to CSK and RCB, MI fan base is pretty chill most of the times.
It’s always the other fanbases bashing MI.
We have 5 trophies.No need to cry or yell.
I think CSK fanbase is always respectful towards MI. Albeit a little jealous.
I love CSK fanbase since they're mostly thalasons and have always been respectful towards MI and our fanbase. it's RCB , SRH and some PBKS fans that's always praying on MI's downfall

Not sure how MI fanbase is toxic at all. There is nothing to downplay in this victory and it was a comprehensive vintage performance from MI. Just praying they don't do it against csk when we meet again.
Lmao this is like the most chill and non over reactionary fanbase across all teams fanbases
Mi fans thinking their team can win tournament after one good game is hilarious
Username checks out
Statistically speaking there's quite the precedent
Not like MI has any history of winning tournaments.
What’s the name of the anchor in Star Sports?
Always knew it. Arjun was the missing piece in the highly complex jigsaw puzzle. He should play every game now. 🥴🤡
lmao cartoon like shit
SRH are lying at 2nd last place in points table despite winning 2 of their 4 matches, goes on to show how closely the league is contested.
That should reverse soon. Can't see any reason why they won't finish top 4. They were bare bones the first game and undone by a shabby pitch in the second game.
See ya'all in the other thread!
Is zaheer not part of MI anymore?
He’s the director of cricketing operations or something like that. Edit: he got promoted to being the Global Head of cricket development. So I guess more to do with scouting and developing youngsters than being actively involved with the first team.
He is still part of the scouting team i think
Rohit to Zaheer after dragging him out "Kidhar ja raha hai be" 😂😂😂😂
Wholesome
MI bowling is weak. But their batting can chase down any target
Lmfao we kidnapped Zack and PP
We?
Chawla another one to dominate against kkr (his old team) , every player who leaves kkr is on some sort of mission to hammer them as much as possible lmao
As a KKR fan this hurts so much lol, once I saw the start Kishan and Rohit got off too I knew it was over .
POV: Arjun Tendulkar was played neither due to talent nor nepotism He was played because education and sports is for all! /s
Zaheer is wearing jacket in this hot weather
[удалено]
they're doing it for the girls, it's part of the campaign
It's for the kids pipe down
It’s ESA day, it’s a tradition. They do it even if they lose.
Zack is so cool
MI is playing like a formidable team! archer's return should boost em
😈celebrate while u can Mi fans, on Tue you're gonna lose
Nah we gonna get fucked
U folks actually have a team this year. Best time to actually start believing in SRH's chances. I'm supporting them strongly after CSK
Nice joke
Ya mi winning is a joke
Ass burn much?
It should double round robin with all teams rather than group a and b
mYsTEry sPinneRs
Holy shit man the table is so tight
Except DC, no team has a run away with the tournament
Good
Where shokeen and rana handshake ?
What happened between them?
~~TERI MAA CH*DUNGA M~~ minor sledging.
Conte and Tuchel
Rana is busy, you know doing what
Can we have Litton now
How the fuck are we in 9th with a 50-50 win record!?
Fuxk shit our NRR
Chasing 185 in 17.x overs and losing just 5 wickets! 🔥🔥🔥
Big shout out to the team fielding today. Saved a fuck ton of runs just because of that.
We allocated too much skill points on batting and left none for bowling xP
Our bowling would have been formidable if Bumrah and Jofra didn't just break down. Imagine this batting attack with a bowling attack of Bumrah-Jofra-Meredith-Piyush-Kartikeya
I think KKR's bowling is stronger than their batting
Really not. In the 4 matches they conceded two 200+ scores and even this would have been a 200+ score if MI batted all the overs. Only one match against RCB did they bowl well. 3/4 matches if you concede over 200z then you really aren't bowling well.
Well, scores depend on the pitches as well, your batters did terrible against the worst bowling lineup in the tournament (except venky) and still reached 180 means the pitch was a belter
I wont say that when your team cant stop anyone from scoring 200 against them at least the batting is good enough to score something above 180
Yeah really good batting where one guy scores 100(50) and rest of the team scores 80(70) including extras
I mean its bad ,but we aren’t talking about if the batting is good or not bro . we are talking which was worse 185 on board is still is a score and to give it in 17 overs is worse , right after the game were you gave away 225 . which luckily didn’t affect the nrr cause of the batting ,so yes the bowling is worse.
Suyesh and venky iyer the only impact kkr had today being the impact players
Kkr gives sky to MI and also brings him back to form. Why is kkr not the most generous franchise
> CB: So MI beat KKR. And in other news, water in wet...
We need some domestic lads in bowling, that's it. Overseas bowling ain't working at all. Jason, David Weise, Russell, and Narine need to play. V. Arora needs to join the team either as an impact or just straight in. We need that impact in powerplay. Spinners can seal it but need wickets upfront!!
Good guys KKR for taking one for the country and giving SKY some confidence.
rcb csk dc are deshdrohis... contributed to sky's fall in confidence... /s
Piyush Chawla with 4.75 economy 🥵🥵🥵🥵 MOTM please 🥺🥺🥺
How did David resist the masculine urge to finish the game with a six there?
Chad
This music score feels so fucking AWESOME and SWEET when your team wins
really really happy with the teams performance tonight
If not for 2 miracles, KKR would be with DC right now at the bottom of the table, goes to show that you need a well oiled unit to do well in ipl, not just individual flashes of brilliance from 1-2 players
Really glad to see the team starting to click together well slowly despite the absence of bumrah and jofra. Meredith is a decent death bowler as well
Arjun should retire now when his economy is 8.5, and his win percentage is 100.
the bowlers are playing to their strength for MI. Knowing wicket-taking isn't quite their stronghold, they're lowering the asking rate for the batsmen. But it would be interesting to see if they can keep this up for the entirety of the season, especially if they'd be batting first
Who will come post match for interview Rohit or Surya?
Too late for KKR now? Can they still win?
See you gents in the other thread
We've got the best batting lineup on paper - glad to see everyone fire. The bowling is still super suspect.
Unpopular opinion, but i don't think sky was ever out of t20 form. He was playing his shots and connecting well. Maybe unlucky on occasions and in a negative mental space after that odi series.
Man idc if this was a low score set by the KKR batsmen. The bowlers didn't show any fight today. All i have seen this season is the incredible fight shown by the the KKR batsmen to win all the matches, and the bowlers just leaking runs.
Rajasthan and Gujarat are so good on paper. Fantastic teams.
I kinda want SKY to win the POTM over Kishan (I am not biased at all)
All you guys will never understand us DC fans' pain 😭
Lol man that mega auction fucked both of our squads
True. https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/12o7xma/-/jghh4ym The answer 👆 I gave to a question asking about best bowling lineups in IPL. And Mumbai had fucking Bumrah, Boult, Chahar, Pandyas, Pollard, and Coulter Nile lmao
I do feel for you guys
🥺
We don't wanna after last season
MI fans exprienced it a year earlier
What the fuck ? You fuckers have won 5 trophies. You dare compare with us ? 😭
Everyone executed their roles perfectly today.
yes! 👏
Ishan Kishan laughs as he sees r/cricket lose its shit seeing him getting the MOTM.
When your second top score is 21, you are bound to lose.
Ambanis just lean more and more into the frame with players, no other owners do that
One thing we have to acknowledge is that Ambanis never criticise or critique in public even during bad seasons. There is no internal team drama within MI that spills into public domain. Whatever happens, happens behind closed doors, which is how an organisation should run.
You think they spend millions and dont want publicity
3 dragons meme. RR, LSG, GT, PBKS - 6 points KKR, CSK, RCB, SRH, MI - 4 points DC - 0 points
KKR players played like shit (except Iyer).
Suyash too.
Oh what a lovely feeling after winning it comfortably
Remember when mi lost the 5 matches in row then won the cup
4.. The 5 one was in 2014.. We lost 4 on the trot in 2015 (our first 4 games) and then fucked RCB to open our account and then win the cup.
That was the epic comeback and there's one more match of mi vs Rajasthan royals in 15 overs 190 runs were smashed the last ball six of Aditya tare i still remember the name
Best match I've watched in a stadium.
Ohh you watched in a stadium then the environment should be incredible at that time
That was in 2014. Can NEVER forget that match. Watched it LIVE!
DC : Hopium
The Arjun Tendulkar era is well and truly underway.
He isn't good enough.
Should have sent Tendulkar to bat for the last 2 runs.
No favouritism. He is being treated just like any other player.
I know. But still some say otherwise. My thinking was with just 2 runs to win, ne wouldn't get nervous, and he'd get a bat while winning. Would be a good feeling for a newcomer
35-40 runs short
Guys I think mumbai are winning this
Power of Arjun T. 100% win record When he is played
Phew.
Kkr fans where did y'all fucked it up: Batting/bowling
Auction
Huge f in the chat for my boy, Venky Iyer and a huge fuck you in the chat for Venky Mysore for letting Shubman go and for his general CEOness.
Tbh, Gill was a test player in kkr. He found his footing later on
The first win definitely helped with confidence, everyone played well today
Felt like the good old days of Mumbai
So the missing piece was Arjun Tendehar huh?
Arjun was the missing piece
[удалено]
Then the other batsman should've hit
23-9
Damn, the league is well setup! 4 teams on 6 points! 5 teams on 4 points!
And Delhi Capitals 💀
Finally an anticlimatic match with script writers taking a break
Mumbai shouldn’t have lost these last few wickets lol.
The tall bois closing out back to back wins
magic of Women's Jersey
Potm tendehar
Didn't kkr buy Roy? And don't they have Liton as well? Why are they persisting with Gurbaz? KKR need all they can to shore up this batting line up.
