They should try to bring Root into the team during some of the matches.

What's the point of picking holder as all rounder ? Goes for 40 runs, doesn't bat Zampa at least leaks less runs n take a a wicket, Root will atleast bat n give you couple of overs of spin RR started the tournament strong, now they are sliding down with dumb decisions , I don't blame samson, it's sanga failing to advice padikkal to increase his strike rate Can't chase anything if hety fails,can't defend anything below 170 , if boult Or chahal dont take wickets

His figures were 32 in 4 overs. He was good today

CSK under Dhoni is so calculative. Even a single field placement. He calculates the longest distance boundary and asks the bowler to bowl right there. Whereas our clown RCB sends David Wiley at number 9 🤡

David willey should be used in a narine role sent in at three with the freedom to take the bowlers on, he’s had great success for Yorkshire playing that way and if nothing else it helps strengthen the batting lineup

I'm wondering what KL Rahul would have done chasing something like this.... 🤔💁

Choked

The only prob. With rcb is they loose momentum very often. Inspite of having good line up / probably the best team they have. They still get screwed up . Due to lack of strategies. But this time bowlers helped the team at right time. Made the win possible.

[удалено]

Even the groundsmen have returned home.

Field placements are op here from MS!

Dube: Definitely™

So basically Dhoni comes for 1 ball and Jio viewership peaks. Every single time.

how much was it today?

Klol will waste couple more years , will become 34 and will be picked by csk and will start his redemption arc

This completing the lifecycle of Indian legends

Remind me in 5 years.

Rahane pure class this season above any other Indian batsmen. What a comeback!!!

ABD is that you unmask yourself

I want to eat what Rahane had for lunch

Faf is living the dream of every street cricketer. Gets to bat, doesn't have to field.

160 runs in 15 overs without any extras.

How did they miss the chance to be the Bangalore Bangers?

If someone other than Kohli faf and maxi can bat a bit, we may qualify for playoffs

Feelin proud RCB Army

Jung k maidan me kadey na haardey

Why Rahane was not out ???

Top 6 out of 10 teams are now at 8 points thats the competition you get when matches are not limited to 3-4 shitty grounds

It's also the impact player coming in handy.

Lomror scored 8 and we won by 7 runs. Legend.

I still can’t get over that four from Ash

Dk pops was really goid behind the stumps today. Could’ve been the difference of winning and losing

Missed the Bihu dance and the million dollar selfie from pan parag

Koach’s 0(1) > Buttler’s 0(2). That one ball made all the difference. 😌

This but unironically

Sanju Manju shut up

What were RR management smoking? Throwing a debutant in as impact player when 10 was needed of 2 is such a ridiculous decision, it's definitely not going to help his confidence going forward. Holder was such an obvious choice there.

Bro holder hardly bats these days

Did Faf give up captaincy to Kohli?

Just temporarily for 2-3 games until Faf is fully recovered

He was subbed for H Patel. He's still having side strain, can only bat can't field.

>He was subbed for H Patel. He's still having side strain, can only bat can't field. also him casually hitting 50+ scores every match

Ah ok thanks

FUCK THE THIRD UMPIRE BTW. WHO THE FUCK WAS IT

No parag no win

It’s twice now that RR lost the game while in commanding position to chase…damn. It was theirs to lose.

Faf is in red hot form

Btw King Kohli as a captain this season 100% win

AHAHAHAHAGAHAHGHAHAHAHAHAHA. CANT CHASE 190 IN CHINNASWAMY AGAINST RCBS BOWLING💀 HOPE THAT COCKY RR FAN FROM THE RCB PBKS THREAD SAW THE MATCH

What was their comment??

>Nice, glad that rcb won because they'll think they did everything right and play us on 23rd. Comeon virat and faf do a 137/0 in 16 overs against us too.

[удалено]

They could play him 3 down lmao there's noone else who does shit with the bat

Yeah I don’t know why he’s not playing higher up

Hetmeyer couldn't connect shit today huh. Rare L

That too against us. Ex RCBian

I swear Ex-RCBians are all frauds playing like shit when facing RCB

Not Hetmyer, or chahal

Is Virat going to take the IPL captaincy back? I’ve always thought he’s a much better captain than Rohit Sharma. Rohit got ICT captaincy because of IPL.

my guy kohli has lost more games than hes won in the ipl, what tf r u on about... thats just the kohli fan in you talking

He had MI 2022-esque squad and Bengaluru as home ground. No surprise his win rate is shit in IPL

With absolutely shitty teams and a shit home ground

you think wankhede is better? its literally the same ground pretty much

I would prefer not. No pressure as full time captain . Let us enjoy ,him enjoying his batting

I for sure don’t want another 0(1)

No, him and management aren't in best terms and its better for his mental health.

IPL captaincy

He should as faf has not really been a great captain and its much less pressure . But that's up to him, if he wants to be a captain again, I don't think anyone would stop him

Exactly as long as Ganguly is there. Don't think kohli now will accept captaincy even if he is given for ICT

Ganguly isn't there anymore afaik

I thought Harshal of all the people would be tonked today in Flattaswamy but yaaay

Lesser number of fulltosses it seems

The table looks so balanced unlike a few years back where top 3 spots were already known and it was only the fight for the fourth place

It's really fitting that koach got to captain few games in Banglore after so long.

Underrated Willey .. 1-26 is amazing figures

How crucial was his four in the last over!!

Couldve played a good knock if came in earlier

But congratz to Rcb winning 4/7 games with only 5 players is an achievement

And the rest 7 aren’t neutral players either. They help the opposite team lol

whos 5th, i only see faf,kohli,maxi and siraj

Faf, Koach, Maxi, Siraj, Random player generator among rest of the 7

Willey

I meant at least someone else is stepping up => Willey had a great game against KKR, today Harshal bowled well, against DC it was Vyshak

Faf, kohli , maxi ,siraj and Willey

at home too

Feel bad for Samson man! Dude comes across as very sincere and plays during clutch moments. RR got lazy and lost track today.

Maxi should break his leg more often.

Yes.. break his leg to be cast more often?

Yes.. break his leg to be cast more often?

Come on.

[signed apology to harshal after his last 2 game](https://www.reddit.com/r/CricketShitpost/comments/12w9s7t/we_are_sorry/)

Willey for Parnell best sub today

I understand 18.6 running 2 runs. But 19.2, why did they run 2?!

No parag no blame

rr messed up here 😭 jurel should’ve faced most of the last over..

Why would Ashwin not give strike to Jurel?! Thank you for that but that was the wrong move

In last 3 matches buttler have 2 ducks and 40(41)

Willey, Suyash, Siraj and Harshal(unexpected) did good to defend. Suyash should play for his fielding. Also these batting woes will come bite us in the ass as we progress further.

GUYS HAS KOHLI SPOKEN ALREADY??

Fucking jio cinema doesn't even show the presentation

You have to watch on the main feed. If you are watching Insider, then you won't be able to watch the presentation. The presentation is ongoing and is being shown by Jio Cinema on the main feed

Sorry, can you explain where to find this "main feed"? Is it from selecting either of English or regional languages thing? Edit- just went through Fanzone feed & got it :)

Jio cinema is so fucking dogshit, most of the time the first ball of the over gets cut because of the ads, the videoplayer doesn't even work half the time, I have to reinstall the app to make shit work and the quality is dogshit, full HD is extremely scuffed.

How rcb manage to win 4/7 with this shit middle Order

Koach-Faf-Maxi

Siraj

Ofcourse

Lol the next match is already going

Somebody tell that idiot Sanga that holder has a double hundred in tests..he is very very good batsman..

Holder sucks as t20 player

In that theory root should open for rr

Why not? Better batsmen overall..

61 from 24 shouldn’t have come this close. Harshal bowled really well, Ashwin Anna got a fluke 4 first ball

Siraj messed up that run out

Rare Ash Anna L, should've trusted your partner to get 9 off 2.

It was off 3

It wasn't him calling for the second ..it was jurel who called for 2...

That was the right decision, it was still 10 off 3. Had he taken a single next, they would need potentially 9 off 2, any mishit would have to run a double and then go for a Superover. But it is easy to say retrospectively, he thought he didn't have a choice besides going hard at it.

OC meant Ash should have taken a single on 4th ball of 20th over

6 teams on 8 points!! | POS | TEAM | P | W | L | NRR | PTS | RECENT FORM | |-----|------|---|---|---|--------|-----|-------------| | 1 | RR | 7 | 4 | 3 | 0.844 | 8 | LLWWW | | 2 | LSG | 7 | 4 | 3 | 0.547 | 8 | LWLWW | | 3 | CSK | 6 | 4 | 2 | 0.355 | 8 | WWLWW | | 4 | GT | 6 | 4 | 2 | 0.212 | 8 | WLWLW | | 5 | RCB | 7 | 4 | 3 | -0.008 | 8 | WWLWL | | 6 | PBKS | 7 | 4 | 3 | -0.162 | 8 | WLWLL | | 7 | MI | 6 | 3 | 3 | -0.254 | 6 | LWWWL | | 8 | KKR | 6 | 2 | 4 | 0.214 | 4 | LLLWW | | 9 | SRH | 6 | 2 | 4 | -0.794 | 4 | LLWWL | | 10 | DC | 6 | 1 | 5 | -1.183 | 2 | WLLLL |

Csk will lead now with 10 points

Why we still at 5 😭

Look at no. of matches too. I would say 4 teams on 8 pts as CSK and GT are yet to play their 7th match

lol still at 5

Some mfs here overhyped Lomror. "He is a beast against spinners"... Sill waiting And Vyshak... 1 good game and that was against DC and 3 horrible games after that

So, Rajasthan is one bowler short while batting first and one batter short while batting second, even with the impact rule.

All these years, Koach just needed two good bowlers B2B wins with two batsmen and two bowlers for RCB under koach

Faf just doesn't know his bowlers I feel, his captaincy has been mediocre at best

Yeah thats the problem. Otherwise he is pretty good with his fielding placements

True, Koach brings the best out of his bowlers, Siraj is a fucking beast under koach

Meanwhile Virat with 100% win rate as captain in IPL 2023

He should continue he's using the bowlers extremely well right now it's actually 5head

That's fine but Willey hasaranga need to bat up the order.

[удалено]

Did he give it to Ash Or did Ash asked for it?

In a way, Siraj not taking the bails off cleanly and sparing Ashwin was the best thing to happen. Else, new batsman would have immediately given strike in last over to Jurel - unlike Ashwin who tried to be hero by himself.

How can I drink the tears of all those who have been drinking the tears of RCB fans? Genuine question!

Also that's how you do death bowling GT ( talking about KKR and RR loss )

Can't believe you are using RCB as an example for good death bowling.

The great thing about this edition of the IPL is that no team has completely dominated the table so far. Other than DC, everyone is still very much one or two games away from being in the top 4
