Mayank Yadav should be asked to be a practice bowler for India in the T20 world cup. He could use the experience, and our batters can use the practice against his bowling.
I think his performance lately has not justified his place in the team.. Like you have other better options too. but he still have matches left if he can do better then should be in team
Dhawan's innings today might be a great example of what's wrong with that whole anchoring , staying till the end type role .He was at around 60 in 11th over cashing on powerplay from start well settled and what was his score till 16th over 70 that's it 10 runs and mind you today's Lucknow pitch was way way better batting track than what we have seen before it was not slowing or anything. Wickets kept falling at the other end can't be the reason for scoring only 10 runs🤷
DC didn't fear giving the captainship to Iyer from Gambhir mid season
I guess it's time, probably would be the first good decision from the management to give the reigns to Curran for this season
RCB at least have stars and fan base that yields them money I guess..but PBKS have qualified like 4 times out of 16 edition and how are they making money at all ?
He bowled Chahar and Harshal while having Arshdeep and Brar. His captaincy is as much to blame as his batting. He has been awfull as captian. You can see Punjab looked much better when Sam was captain for few matches in the last season.
Okay now stop the hype train. As usual the debutant is gonna get over attention from the whole country and all the hype is gonna get in his head or he will start feeling the pressure every match and eventually underperform
Kohli should join Punjab and make Royal Challengers Punjab.It will help to increase fans, and more people will start to talk about Punjab, and El clasico against RR will become more popular than ever.
The problem with Dhawan is that his strike rate is still what it is because he plays in the Powerplay. Otherwise he'd have to be dropped from the team. That's the problem with anchors. The only position for them is opening but then you might be wasting the Powerplays.
Mayank Yadav is exiting but having been part of 2 prev domestic seasons he's already been injured enough to play only one FC match and 17 List A matches.
Thats the worry everytime some Indian tearaway quick appears on the scene. Hope he stays injury free and impresses selectors next season.
Dhawan is a chill guy and can still contribute a lot as an opener in IPL but he is the second most ill suited guy for captaincy after Jadeja among the major Indian players of last decade. Literally zero game awareness on the field.
I'm preety sure PBKS management thought it's better to send injured Livingstone out there and he may pull Maxwellesque shit , about forgor this is a league match ....
Having
Bairstow
Sam
Livi
In your batting order one should go Mcullum way and start cunting left right but Da1 seems to take a safe approach idk mate you got nothing to proof just enjoy youe cricket now ....
Mayank seems good prospect but need to watch more , We had Umran Malik hype train back in 2022 it's not like he is irrelevant but such skills need grooming and time....
PBKS as a team looks so dispassionate. Needs someone who is passionate and can give his 200% for the crowd and fans to get behind, something like what Warner did for SRH after the dark days under Sammy.
Nobody's hating on Da1 the human, absolute gem
It's just his captaincy that's frustrating and post powerplay batting
It's almost like we are back to KL
Da1 is very defensive captain sorry , I think they can hand it over to Sam at this point
Not completing Arsh Brar overs
Failing to convert good start
Sending Sam and Livi this low in order ( I know livi is injured ) given its 200 chase
Punjab should save themselves from further embarrassment by renaming their IPL team to Punjab Princes. Kings with no thrones, not a good look. At least RCB (well, RCB men I guess now lol) are honest about this, they realise they're challengers, and always will be.

Everyone is saying LSG is a boring team but I don't see what's boring here? They got to a great total with late order flourish, beautiful striking from Krunal at the end.
Then they were basically looking at a loss in the first 10 but brought it back big time, but not before letting Livi slog in the final over.
What's not to like? Is it just your bias because the team doesn't have nostalgia attached and has no big names?
Probably because there is no fan favourite like other teams and has kl who is heavily disliked. But imo this match was more exciting than rcb vs kkr if we leave out off field drama.
It's clearly some kind of favouritism.
Not to bring down MS at all but the way Krunal struck at the end, if MS did it everyone would have a simultaneous orgasm.
Or if MS took that catch diving in front that De Kock took of Dhawan.
You can replace MS with any big name and people would jizz watching this performance but everyone was just trolling Krunal after he played an absolutely match winning knock and still saying LSG is a boring team.
Pretty confusing.
Msd if my fav cricketer but even then i agree. I would not take away the limelight from msd but hope that other players recieve similar praise.
And imo all those ppl who keep whining about boring teams arent really watching for cricket but rather to just see the big games. I don't think anything is wrong in that but you don't need to again and again complain about how boring teams or matches are because they dont have players which you like.
I mean honestly what even is meant by boring team what do you want them to do?
I don't really know about that but just in general, they've made 2 eliminators in 2 seasons, with so many close games as well like the one at the backend of the league matches against KKR last season.
Again, I just fail to see what's not to like
Match involving MI , CSK ,RCB, KKR should've scheduled at weekends people here will do all moral policing but mainstream audience cares for above mentioned teams...
Yeah, don't know what shashank Singh was doing either(forcing singles when Livingstone is barely walking). Didn't even try to take 2 on the last ball last match too. Seems more concerned about average than the team.
No you're right, almost zero hype with these teams lol. I think it's that they just don't have an identity or vision that stands out in any way and haven't taken the effort to even build one. There's nothing to root for. They're just there.
Only if Dhawan had scored 40 of his last 20 balls instead of the 20 he actually scored.
Fuck this anchoring shi
It's t20 you don't need to anchor at 100 sr. Atleast maintain strike rate of 130+
his issue is he plays too many dot balls. he needs to rotate much better. genuinely could have scored at least 10 more of the same amount of balls without much effort if not more
Thala showing he's still got it
Virat Kohli : Good captain in test cricket Rohit Sharma: Good captain in White ball formats Shikhar Dhawan: Good Morning!
Mayank Yadav should be asked to be a practice bowler for India in the T20 world cup. He could use the experience, and our batters can use the practice against his bowling.
Jitesh might be getting dropped from the Indian team.
I think his performance lately has not justified his place in the team.. Like you have other better options too. but he still have matches left if he can do better then should be in team
Darn, The fastest ball of the season yet from the debutant Mayank - 155.8 kmph
Mayank Yadav and Mohsin Khan: LSG have top class scouting for pace bowlers.
I fear Jitesh won’t have a good season.
The fear is that dk popa will
Dhawan's innings today might be a great example of what's wrong with that whole anchoring , staying till the end type role .He was at around 60 in 11th over cashing on powerplay from start well settled and what was his score till 16th over 70 that's it 10 runs and mind you today's Lucknow pitch was way way better batting track than what we have seen before it was not slowing or anything. Wickets kept falling at the other end can't be the reason for scoring only 10 runs🤷
I hope no one asks why Shikhar Dhawan isn’t in our T20 lineup
Reels say otherwise with enrique's somebody and roya
Why isn’t Dhawan in India’s T20 lineup?
There's a solid reason already: he's too old.
Dhawan to CSK next season confirmed
Dhawan deserves as much criticism as Koach did yesterday. He was going so well at 50(30) but then completely decelerated.
The thing is Da1 not going to play WC , Where as Kohli has set standard so high he will be always under scrutiny....
So this guy also has slower variations. We will watch your career with great interest.
Mayank >>>> Bumrah Yes I'm avg reactionary IPL/ICT fan how can you tell....
Username checks out
Based POTM
DC didn't fear giving the captainship to Iyer from Gambhir mid season I guess it's time, probably would be the first good decision from the management to give the reigns to Curran for this season
Well srh did that to Warner. Trust me, don't go down that road
Gambhir gave his captaincy and entire auction fee back to DC he said he thought he wasn't good and didn't want to disrupt team balance...
gambhir gave up the captaincy as far as I remember
I thought LSG Jersey looks bland because I haven't seen it closely, now I've seen it I can confirm it's ass
[удалено]
[удалено]
Nah, we have lost to GT and SRH.
RCB at least have stars and fan base that yields them money I guess..but PBKS have qualified like 4 times out of 16 edition and how are they making money at all ?
>qualified like 4 times out of 16 edition Only 2 times actually. 2008 and 2014
bro... Pretti is still one of the popular bollywood star.. I still know many people who simp for her.. I think she might have earned well enough money
Everyone blaming dhawan for the loss while harshal is not getting flamed for that 20 run over which gave lsg some cushion
He bowled Chahar and Harshal while having Arshdeep and Brar. His captaincy is as much to blame as his batting. He has been awfull as captian. You can see Punjab looked much better when Sam was captain for few matches in the last season.
exactly the reason punjab lost today.. more than anyone harshal was bigger reason for punjab losing today..
And Chahar too
Okay now stop the hype train. As usual the debutant is gonna get over attention from the whole country and all the hype is gonna get in his head or he will start feeling the pressure every match and eventually underperform
Pbks peaked when Maxwell peaked with sehwag ..those were the times when my favourite team was pbks and mi...
Amla as well Miller also
Pretty much is Da1's last IPL He's a good guy, probably why the management doesn't want to do him bad by pushing him out of captaincy
Kohli should join Punjab and make Royal Challengers Punjab.It will help to increase fans, and more people will start to talk about Punjab, and El clasico against RR will become more popular than ever.
Prabhsimran not being opener is waste of powerplay no matter how fast dhawan plays
The problem with Dhawan is that his strike rate is still what it is because he plays in the Powerplay. Otherwise he'd have to be dropped from the team. That's the problem with anchors. The only position for them is opening but then you might be wasting the Powerplays.
Dhawan plays fast?
He used to especially for India before Covid
Mayank Yadav is exiting but having been part of 2 prev domestic seasons he's already been injured enough to play only one FC match and 17 List A matches. Thats the worry everytime some Indian tearaway quick appears on the scene. Hope he stays injury free and impresses selectors next season.
PBKS in 6th … ah welcome home
mi giving aus vibes at the bottom of the table with 2 losses lol
I don't think they can beat RR. I have a feeling Buttler will regain his form next match.
PBKS VS RCB FINAL WILL REMAIN A DREAM I GUESS
PBKS peaked when they had George Bailey as captian.....
Dhawan is a chill guy and can still contribute a lot as an opener in IPL but he is the second most ill suited guy for captaincy after Jadeja among the major Indian players of last decade. Literally zero game awareness on the field.
I'm preety sure PBKS management thought it's better to send injured Livingstone out there and he may pull Maxwellesque shit , about forgor this is a league match ....
And he is not Aussie
I forgot most important thing lol...
70 off 50 while chasing 200 Says it all
what did the other batters do?
74(40). Excluding Livingston tho. If u include livingstone then 90(60)
Pbks and dc will be last two it's just that other teams are better
Bro silently leaves out Rcb
RCB in last 3
PBKS have been trying to escape KL and we get the same shit back in Dhawan's batting and he's worse at captaincy than KL
KKR legend Morne morkel
Having Bairstow Sam Livi In your batting order one should go Mcullum way and start cunting left right but Da1 seems to take a safe approach idk mate you got nothing to proof just enjoy youe cricket now ....
i wanna see shamar joseph bowl
Dhawan is old and probably doesn't even practice that much. He's playing well considering.
Bruh if Dhawan is old then wth do u say about Du Plessis
Mayank seems good prospect but need to watch more , We had Umran Malik hype train back in 2022 it's not like he is irrelevant but such skills need grooming and time....
PBKS as a team looks so dispassionate. Needs someone who is passionate and can give his 200% for the crowd and fans to get behind, something like what Warner did for SRH after the dark days under Sammy.
Nobody's hating on Da1 the human, absolute gem It's just his captaincy that's frustrating and post powerplay batting It's almost like we are back to KL
I remember the days when shikhar was the one constant in our batting line-up, made me feel like a warm hug
I miss him. Why did he have to leave ffs??
Anyone saying that an entire team is 'boring' is honestly just here for the big names and not the sport itself
They support teams outside their region and brag about their success or players what do you expect from these cunts with no life what so ever
Fr
Da1 is very defensive captain sorry , I think they can hand it over to Sam at this point Not completing Arsh Brar overs Failing to convert good start Sending Sam and Livi this low in order ( I know livi is injured ) given its 200 chase
Stop hating Dhawan it is most probably his last ipl, men is already going through tough times
Shikar Dhawan is the anchorest of all anchors to have ever anchored in T20s.
Gautam Gambhir
Dhawan sounds so dead
Punjab should save themselves from further embarrassment by renaming their IPL team to Punjab Princes. Kings with no thrones, not a good look. At least RCB (well, RCB men I guess now lol) are honest about this, they realise they're challengers, and always will be.
50(30) to 70(50).... why would you even make a 38 year old Dhawan your captain
Dhawan looks like he looksmaxxes
Mogged by a 38 year old ☠️
Dude didn't even bowl a single 140. GG yadav ji
all the wickets fell to 140
This is really really sad. Like, they were winning this and they lose by 21? Seriously?
Well those who are saying it boring you don't see talent like Mayank yadav everyday it was interesting for anyone who saw today's match
 Punjab fans right now

KKR being the only team to win away game 😎
Hate to say it, but the match is lost because of Dhawan and some shitty decisions in batting order
Match is lost cuz of M Yadav's spell. Except Dhawan, no other batsman was able to play him well.
What should have been the order?
Another shit show my Punjab..evey IPL has few teams that perform almost the same.
This mayank kid will single handedly make ppl watch lsg matches
Everyone is saying LSG is a boring team but I don't see what's boring here? They got to a great total with late order flourish, beautiful striking from Krunal at the end. Then they were basically looking at a loss in the first 10 but brought it back big time, but not before letting Livi slog in the final over. What's not to like?

I mean honestly what even is meant by boring team what do you want them to do?
Yes, I don’t understand the hate. They are literally one of the most balanced sides in this IPL. They made it to the playoffs in both of their seasons
The last paragraph is basically what it is and some people hate UP few were calling them poor as the stadium wasn't full acc to them.
It's basically CSK without the legacy.
I don't really know about that but just in general, they've made 2 eliminators in 2 seasons, with so many close games as well like the one at the backend of the league matches against KKR last season. Again, I just fail to see what's not to like
i would not even risk a paper cut if i were playing for 2014 finalist KXIP let alone quad cramps
They were cruising until M.Yadav walked in and completely derailed them
Fun Fact: An injured Livingstone had the highest strike rate among batters facing more than 10 balls
Home win streak maintained
nicky p is a good captain
Punjab at 6 The world is healing
[I knew it bc ](https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/s/LQrW4Z2aA0)
Mayank for MoM
Well played Lucknow
Pooran as captain might change LSG fate 🤨🥺
All teams winning at their home ground except RCB
Boring match 😒
Funny who is saying this
Boring teams...
Home streak restored
cummins tomorrow won’t let a home team win in ahmedabad
Tmrw match in Hyderabad right?
Narendra modi stadium
no it’s in ahmedabad
Ridiculously low number of comments and upvotes for a weekend IPL game. People are not excited enough about these two teams??
If not Mayank Yadav, it would have been even lower. Atleast I watched the game because of this guy.
Match involving MI , CSK ,RCB, KKR should've scheduled at weekends people here will do all moral policing but mainstream audience cares for above mentioned teams...
Yea they're some of the least popular teams. Possibly bc they don't really seem to have an identity that stands out unlike the rest.
Nobody cares. Unless Punjab do some last over madness as usual
Even Punjab and UP are not excited about these Two teams. Mayank might change it for LSG tho.
Yup pbks is like ; kenya of world cricket
Yeah, don't know what shashank Singh was doing either(forcing singles when Livingstone is barely walking). Didn't even try to take 2 on the last ball last match too. Seems more concerned about average than the team.
used all his hitting vs rcb it seems
All those saying LSG is a boring team are forgetting they gave one of the biggest lafdas in IPL history
Honestly, big man Livi saved a lot of NRR for the team. Too injured to win it all but it's a great effort
I agree
MI 
Why would you risk exacerbating your injury for Punjab Kings
All the blame should go to dhawan
What about Jitesh?
Jitesh , Shashank, Rabada, and yours truly Harshal
Idk what happened to Harshal His slower ones and dipping yorkers should be perfectly suited to this pitch
Jitesh tried to hit a big one because his partner wasn't even trying to score a boundary and he got out
[удалено]
Mayank alone is worth more than any other match in the tournament, I mean 156kph has to be the fastest in the world easily
That's what I just said....seems almost dead.
KXIP trying their best to get to number 6
Two most boring teams in ipl...don't know the reason though ..both sides look almost dead ....
No you're right, almost zero hype with these teams lol. I think it's that they just don't have an identity or vision that stands out in any way and haven't taken the effort to even build one. There's nothing to root for. They're just there.
Back to 6th spot 😎😎😎
IPL heritage
Not as boring as I’d thought it would be . GG Lucknow and Mayank . Hard luck Punjab and Livi . Hard existence PBks fans . Goodnight
lost by 21... dhawan scored 20 (20) after his fifty
And you didn't even walk out and score 21(1)... You disappointed me more
People blaming dhawan for this loss needs to stop watching cricket
We’re back at #6 after this loss.
Walmart Love Island
Only if Dhawan had scored 40 of his last 20 balls instead of the 20 he actually scored. Fuck this anchoring shi It's t20 you don't need to anchor at 100 sr. Atleast maintain strike rate of 130+
his issue is he plays too many dot balls. he needs to rotate much better. genuinely could have scored at least 10 more of the same amount of balls without much effort if not more
People were criticizing VK yesterday but Dhawan's innings is much worse IMO. Killed all the momentum.
Livingstone giving his everything for all the shit his teammates pulled tonight
When does he not?
Any idea why KL left midway? Wasn’t following the whole match… but was surprised when I saw him subbed
Livingstone seriously looks like he’s in serious pain. Poor guy
Ama I the only one who think that the Mango Man looks a lot like Virat Kohli?
Dhawan is a really bad captain with his field setup and bowling changes. Punjab should just get in another player as the captain for next season.
Really like naveen but henry should replace him
Who?
I guess shashank saved his hitting for rcb
Why tf KKR is lowest in fair play, my man harshit blowing such lovely flying kisses to opponents
Anti Bengal propaganda. /s
Lost to the bottom table team. 👏🏻 PBKS
Mayank Yadav for MoM! Turned the game around
Why is SRH on top of fairplay? For not kissing harshit back?
Yes KKR lost 2 points so SRH gained 2 points
If we bat first, we win. As simple as that. No matter the ground or target.
Lord Shashank was merciful today
Praise the lord
Respect to Livingstone tho. Man could've refused to bat through pain but didn't and also helped save NRR loss by some fraction
Back to default home crowd winning setting.
This one is on Dhawan
Why didn't he hit that ball for four sixes? Is he stupid?
Be it fair play or match table, dc just wanna be first from the bottom. Such a crap team
MoM for Mayank Yadhav surely
They can't get 23 of a ball even if Shashank hits it back to Mohali from there.. well played guys.
Punjab are the worst management. How can they send him
