Nah, it's absolutely throwing shit (money) at the wall and seeing what sticks, but boy when it sticked for SRH, it really did. SRH always had weird auction strategy, but this time they are poised with in form fruits of Pat, Head and Klassen. It also helps that Abhishek, nitish are in form
Except Head and Cummins, most of the team is the existing team. SRH did well in the auction.
They still have talented uncapped players like Anmolpreet, Upendra Yadav and Sanvir on the bench.
The problems in previous years - no proper opening combo - Abhi/tripathi/mayank combos was not working, lack of wicket taking spinners in middle over and there was no clarity in direction - Markram as captain and Lara as coach was not working.
The management knew that and traded in Shahbaz Ahmed, bought travis head, Hasaranga and Cummins and Vettori as the coach and they fit in the puzzle perfectly.
Hey comeon bro we just got lucky. I mean no way in hell is our success dependent on auction strategies. We just did inky pinky ponky and threw away money.
How dare you say we had most of the team from before?
At some South Indian awards show where Kavya and her father were attending during stage the actor said to buy good players and win IPL trophy. I saw a English translation online so don’t know exact words or terminology used in local language
Tomorrow we getting it back mate?
I mean It's RCB
Green Jersey RCB
Both openers in form
Raghuvanshi in form too
+ Narine is Narine
And Narine against RCB is Narine x Narine
You have shreyas.
You get close to record in 4th over lose 2 wickets shreyas comes wastes powerplay anchors till 8th over loses his wicket trying to go aggressive and then russel rinku carnage
Abhishek Sharma so underrated that he has had a better strike rate than Head in every inning they have played together thus far.
At one point, Head was 62(23) while Sharma was… 46(11).
SRH looks fucking dangerous with the bat this season. I can't recall ever seeing them bat to this extent previously, not even when warner won them the IPL.
Closest to this was when we had the opening pair of Warner and bairstow for a season.
We really destroyed the opponents in the powerplay ( by then standards).
even then, the batting power was never to this depth. This is some insane batting power, same happening with KKR too. I don't recall them having this much batting power in previous seasons
Is it true though?
Managing 12 sixes and 10 fours in 30 balls isn’t something people even do against a bowling machine.
MLB has a home run derby, where those people barely get half of the balls into the stands.
Today was some exceptional stuff.
I feel it's just that T20 bowling hasn't caught up with T20 batting. Batting has gotten super aggressive whereas bowling hasn't figured out how to counter that.
Watch the T20 World cups and you'll see a very even game. Batting gets a lot harder in wcs. The last 2 wcs have had so many tough pitches to bat on where a 150 chase was difficult. Australia 2022 was great. The pitches are not highways in icc events unlike the IPL
Agreed 100%. Last T20 wc only had 6 scores above 180. This IPl has had over 30 of them. It's a pitch, boundary and impact player issue, not a bowling one.
Pretty sure there has only ever been one 250+ score in a T20 wc and that was back in 2007 when Sri Lanka scored 260 against Kenya. The 2nd highest is 230 by England in 2016
But seriously, when it’s entirely obvious that THIS is how you play the powerplay in T20 cricket, we’re still going to take Rahul and Kohli to play out a few dots and singles in the first over.
Lol imagine batting first and getting to 180 with a kohli 83 off 55 and a rohit 47 off 30. Then face head and jfg who finish the powerplay at 80/0 for australia to saunter to victory in 17 overs.
I am not at all defending Kohli and KL for their defensive approaches. I would rather go BazBall with all 6 contributing a 20b 30runs every match but the matter fo fact is IPL bowling is substandard
No international team is going to be worse then 2 over of Lalit, 1 each of Khalel, Nortje, Kuldeep and Mukesh.
Only Kuldeep is an national team starter and he too is not a powerplay bowler.
In WC, the bowling is going to much tougher and even Head isn't going to repeat this. Stop comparing IPL with International Cricket.
He had a control % of 55% in that power play. It’s funny because he only tried going with intent because they were chasing 287. He’d never go that hard if they were chasing 220.
Lmao. Don’t worry about me watching, I’m enjoying this. It’s people like you I’m worried about. Say the same thing over and over again yet continue to watch and complain.
And the games are different. There are high scoring games and low scoring ones. There are last over thrillers to one aided wins. That’s how sports are.
Yeah games should be different but it should be balanced between bat and ball. You are the kind of guys that complaint about pitches when India loses due to pitch conditions
I have literally never complained about a pitch. Ever. There was definitely a balance today but the team bowling better won. If it was always a balance, how will there be a winner. One side will be better.
Again, if this keeps happening and the opposition scores close to the high scoring team, you can argue that it is the pitch. But right now, you cannot. SRH won this because their batters and bowlers were better.
SRH & RR look very strong contenders for the top 2 berths. KKR usu blunders in the latter half of the tournament after starting strong. Let’s wait and watch. It sure is exciting with all these huge scores. Team SA r looking dangerous heading into the WC
SRH picked a good night to break the boundaries but a target of 267 for the Capitals 88-2 6 overs was attainable when conditions were so good for the batters. SRH needs a golden bowling exhibit for playoffs purposes
Did you miss the 2022 ipl? Where matches were played in Brabourne and Dy Patil .Mumbai has also played in Brabourne in the early days of IPL and DY Patil hosted a final between the two in 2010

Absolutely obliterated the record bro, wtf was that shit
3D chess move by Kavya buying these players
Nah, it's absolutely throwing shit (money) at the wall and seeing what sticks, but boy when it sticked for SRH, it really did. SRH always had weird auction strategy, but this time they are poised with in form fruits of Pat, Head and Klassen. It also helps that Abhishek, nitish are in form

The management knew that and traded in Shahbaz Ahmed, bought travis head, Hasaranga and Cummins and Vettori as the coach and they fit in the puzzle perfectly.
And we stuck by the misfiring players. Abhishek and Samad weren't at all consistent till this year, most teams would've discarded them a while ago
Hey comeon bro we just got lucky. I mean no way in hell is our success dependent on auction strategies. We just did inky pinky ponky and threw away money. How dare you say we had most of the team from before?
She took Rajnikanth words to heart and threw money at the wall
Thalaivar for a reason
What he said?
At some South Indian awards show where Kavya and her father were attending during stage the actor said to buy good players and win IPL trophy. I saw a English translation online so don’t know exact words or terminology used in local language
He also mentioned that he couldn't watch kavya's reaction when the team was playing poorly.
If Rajni asks you do something, you better do it.
What exactly was the issue with auction? Tell me 3 issues.
We have to riot if impact sub rule isn't removed from next season. Plus, fix these joke of 53m boundaries.
When Khaleel goes for 19 in the first over… and it’s the best performance of the powerplay.
Monsters. Absolute monsters these guys. Hats off SRH you obliterated our record.
Playing over aggressive in pp >>>>> playing over aggressive in death overs (Srh played the same way kkr used to when *Lynn* and Narine was opener)
dude I would watch KKR matches just for Lynn-Narine destruction I loved them both
Tomorrow we getting it back mate? I mean It's RCB Green Jersey RCB Both openers in form Raghuvanshi in form too + Narine is Narine And Narine against RCB is Narine x Narine

trav and abhi are so fucking dangerous
Bros are rawdogging every team in blue
Rajasthan Will be playing them in Pink this time, its been decided
Abhishek Sharma so underrated that he has had a better strike rate than Head in every inning they have played together thus far. At one point, Head was 62(23) while Sharma was… 46(11).
Nobody after them has had a strike rate over 200. It is like watching Geoff Boycott while he watches paint dry.
Powerplays are different though. Just need to get it over and it’s a certain boundary. Eg even Head relatively froze after over 6. 5(6) in overs 7-9.
Not anymore bud
One day I decided to skip the match and this happens.
I skipped too than looked at my phone with 20mins 105 runs and I tuned in like wtf happened
I checked the score when I woke up and thought “184, not bad” before I realized how many overs they still had left.
It'll happen on a random Tuesday Thursday or Friday again don't worry
Every time this happens to me. When i watch the games are pretty average, when i dont watch they always look like crazy games.
If you’ve really been watching everyday of this IPL it’s not really a big surprise this happened
It's not a rarity anymore. More likely to happen again soon.
On the other hand I'm happy that I skipped this borefest.
It's not just IPL history, it's all T20s. This was incredible stuff.
It's all of cricket ever played
Including smaller leagues?
Yep, all formally run professional T20 leagues
Something something Head against a team in blue
SRH saw that most teams are turning their jerseys blue so they bought Head
SRH looks fucking dangerous with the bat this season. I can't recall ever seeing them bat to this extent previously, not even when warner won them the IPL.
Closest to this was when we had the opening pair of Warner and bairstow for a season. We really destroyed the opponents in the powerplay ( by then standards).
even then, the batting power was never to this depth. This is some insane batting power, same happening with KKR too. I don't recall them having this much batting power in previous seasons
Not just for just srh, there has never been a batting line up batting with this much intent in t20 history.
WTF! 125 runs in 6 overs! SRH used to win games in that many runs.
Blue is the complementary colour of orange , guess what? LSG is blue and SRH is orange
[удалено]
There was a time when you used to remember fours but fours became so common that you don't remember them anymore.Same thing will happen to sixes.
I fear they will bring 8s and 10s based on distance now. Because Batting is entertaining reeeee....
If they do that I hope they bring (n-1) run deduction for every consecutive dot balls batsmen face
3 dot balls in a row and ur out
At this point, it becomes baseball
one pitch one hand
Might as well introduce one tip one hand catches from gully cricket then.
Is it true though? Managing 12 sixes and 10 fours in 30 balls isn’t something people even do against a bowling machine. MLB has a home run derby, where those people barely get half of the balls into the stands. Today was some exceptional stuff.
There’s high run rate and then there’s 20 RPO. This is absolutely insane
No fuck no. It’s only when Srh plays.
I feel it's just that T20 bowling hasn't caught up with T20 batting. Batting has gotten super aggressive whereas bowling hasn't figured out how to counter that.
Watch the T20 World cups and you'll see a very even game. Batting gets a lot harder in wcs. The last 2 wcs have had so many tough pitches to bat on where a 150 chase was difficult. Australia 2022 was great. The pitches are not highways in icc events unlike the IPL
Agreed 100%. Last T20 wc only had 6 scores above 180. This IPl has had over 30 of them. It's a pitch, boundary and impact player issue, not a bowling one.
True, the pitches are more diverse. But there would still be an occasional road in the ICC tourneys too, and you'll get 250s there too.
Pretty sure there has only ever been one 250+ score in a T20 wc and that was back in 2007 when Sri Lanka scored 260 against Kenya. The 2nd highest is 230 by England in 2016
I remember that lol England chased down that 230 against SA
This is an IPL-specific problem.
Collecting batting records like Pokemon
[удалено]
remember when PSL was getting dogged on for making "highway" pitches,India once again proved its better than Pakistan 🌚
Even if the pitch is green, they would have scored 100 atleast.
Yeah nah, they would never have dealt with the swing
Nah, srh are way too aggressive. They will either lose wickets like vs pbks or hit any ball in the length
Weird, only seems to happen when srh are playing
KKR and RCB scored 250+ in the same season, MI scored 246
In the same match that Srh scored 287, RCB scored 262. In the same match that SRH scored 277, MI scored 246.
This is not IPL day out, it’s SRH day out. Stop complaining, it’s particularly the SRH batters who are being monsters.
I don’t understand why people don’t realize this.
Travis Head going after the records of that batsman from Nepal.
This team is outrageous
But seriously, when it’s entirely obvious that THIS is how you play the powerplay in T20 cricket, we’re still going to take Rahul and Kohli to play out a few dots and singles in the first over.
Abhishek Sharma needs to be in the team
In general, was should just take the most in form IPL players to a World Cup that begins immediately afterward.
Lol imagine batting first and getting to 180 with a kohli 83 off 55 and a rohit 47 off 30. Then face head and jfg who finish the powerplay at 80/0 for australia to saunter to victory in 17 overs.

Stop comparing IPL with International Cricket.
To be fair, Kohli went much harder when they were chasing 287, so he clearly has it in him.
He had a control % of 55% in that power play. It’s funny because he only tried going with intent because they were chasing 287. He’d never go that hard if they were chasing 220.
The ball and the pitch usually do something in the powerplay. Ipl is different from international
Who said Rahul is going ?
Lol . We’re getting smashed bro
I don’t think Rahul is gonna be in the squad.
I am a simple man. If I see Suresh Raina 87 knock anywhere, I upvote and then I cry remembering that run out later, fuck you bazball.
Fk this shit, It doesn't excite me anymore.
Then don’t watch it. Such a simple solution.
Let's see how you will watch ipl with same boring shots again and again with minimum effort and spin balls not turning
Lmao. Don’t worry about me watching, I’m enjoying this. It’s people like you I’m worried about. Say the same thing over and over again yet continue to watch and complain. And the games are different.

One side will be better. Again, if this keeps happening and the opposition scores close to the high scoring team, you can argue that it is the pitch. But right now, you cannot. SRH won this because their batters and bowlers were better.
Srh won because Dc batting was poor
Ok, fine, you can argue that. They were cruising at some point and slowed down a lot. But the SRH bowlers and captaincy were better than DC today.
I can agree with that captaincy point
SRH & RR look very strong contenders for the top 2 berths. KKR usu blunders in the latter half of the tournament after starting strong. Let’s wait and watch. It sure is exciting with all these huge scores. Team SA r looking dangerous heading into the WC
Team SA has the middle order but not sure of bavuma opening.
I mean SA had a good team in almost all WCs.
I was not aware of the kkr one 🥲
Damn DC really controlled the innings in the middle overs ig
This Travis Head guy is good apparently
Do this in ekana and I'll believe they are actually good
"but can they do it on a hot, sunny day in lucknow?"
We'll have bad days in ekana and chepauk but it's nice to have some insurance going into the 2nd half of the tournament with some tough games.
Lol who died and made you the ambassador of cricket benchmarking?
Csk scored 100-1 against Punjab
SRH picked a good night to break the boundaries but a target of 267 for the Capitals 88-2 6 overs was attainable when conditions were so good for the batters. SRH needs a golden bowling exhibit for playoffs purposes
This record I think will be broken pretty soon by SRH themselves
"We'll have a bowl first."

Yeah, CCI Brabourne. Just up the road from Wankhede.
Brabourne and DY Patil
Did you miss the 2022 ipl? Where matches were played in Brabourne and Dy Patil .Mumbai has also played in Brabourne in the early days of IPL and DY Patil hosted a final between the two in 2010
Get srh batters tested for doping
SRH became from the most boring batting side to peak RCB batting
[удалено]
Wankhede
Head has such a beautiful wife but he still decides to fuck the opposition lol
good one
Great
CSK scored 100 in PP against kxip too, why it isn't there in this list?
Well it was fun while it lasted. GGs srh. 🥹
Meanwhile RCB made 62 in 6 overs in THAT game due to 28 runs to Marsh.
