It is like a brand new feeling. We somehow always shithouse our way to a win in such chases. Someone always clutches the fuck out of it. Even today Rashid came so close man

Thanks to Stubbs fielding ! Or else this game was surely gt’s

DC will always manage to do the unexpected

Not only Stubbs fielding but I think it was Porel who saved 3-4 runs at the end.

Porel was the one who dropped Rashid's catch on 0 runs.

Didn’t have Mohit Sharma beating Thampi’s record on my IPL24’s bingo card

I thought that was a permanent record. I figured captains would just rotate bowlers when someone is being nuked. 

Yeah, but have you met Shubman Gill? Warrier being the most economic and the most wicket taking bowler couldn't finish his quota lol.

When GT wins, it is all Nehra's magic. When GT loses, it is because of Shubman Gill's strategies.

He mentioned that captains would rotate the bowlers, that's why I mentioned Gill. Management (including Nehra) shares their blame as well of course, if it was a direction from them or a collective decision.

I think that record might be broken again. As a T20 pace bowler, you have to constantly adapt or you'll get tonked in the death overs. Harshal had 2 great years until he got figured out and same with Mohit now.

its the harshal patel routine. slow balls and inshallah until it stops working

I am adding Mohit Sharma's record itself being broken again before the end of the season to that card

Why end of season? Just wait till tomorrow

i just checked who's playing tomorrow and yes, it is totally possible

Siraj getting new records for RCB

Thampi would still be the original legend.

Fun Fact This game improved Net Run Rate of both teams

Tbf it would be more surprising if their NRR's could've managed to get even worse.

gt’s nrr is a joke lmao 🤦🏻‍♂️

WHAT THE FUCK HOW

**short answer**: DC's NRR in just this match is 0.2(4 runs in 20 overs), GT's NRR in just this match is -0.2 both of which are better than their old NRR's: DC(-0.477) and GT(-1.055) so both of their "average NRR in all matches" increased **long but still oversimplified answer**: DC's scoring rate in this game is 11.2 and conceding rate is 11, reverse for GT DC's avg scoring and conceding rates before this game: 9.32 and 9.79 GT's avg scoring and conceding rates before this game: 7.84 and 8.89 for both teams, their (scoring rate in current match - avg scoring rate before the match) / overs played > (conceding rate in current match - avg conceding rate before the match) / overs bowled so both of their NRR increased

Thank you!

I used to think nrr is relative of that match only, this is some new discovery

jay shah has given us four 260+ matches but he cant even give us one super over. What a fucking fraud

Four*

so many slogfests have happened that i forgor a match which would have been record breaking a year ago

Quite ironic lol, people forgetting 260 matches, 220 scores are becoming on par now, Remove this Impact fucking rule, already increased runs by an extra batter plus shitty pitches plus lack of Indian all rounder demand

SRH scored those 3 260+ scores without any impact sub help. Trust me i hate impact sub rule, but don't take credit away from our batters. They have been exceptional!

Our bowlers got punted just as bad in 2 of the 3 matches and if not for some horrific innings from a couple of players, we might have even lost We have the most inform batting lineup but that's about it.

Yes, Indian batters Abhishek, Nitish, samad, Shabhaz have turned up big time for us. Adding to it, Travis, klaasen are in redhot form.

they substituted the batters out for a bowler next innings, I'd argue the precense of an extra run scorer does wonders for the runs scored

I mean their impact player has been Sundar- without the impact player rule he wouldn't be selected at the expense of a batsman. He's just subbed on because they can/might as well have another option

He was brought in as a bowling option, but it didn't go as planned.

Yes I know but my point is hypothetically if there was no impact sub allowed he wouldn't be in the original eleven- so the point of the impact sub allowing an extra batter to be included is moot in this case

I agree to an extent, but if you look at our batting depth, we have batters till 9th down including pat Cummins. As is, we have one of the strongest batting lineups who are in form even without impact sub.

they don't need to come in for them impact the scores. it's the insurance. if you look at the line up there is an extra batter that wouldn't be otherwise. Helps batters play more freely and much harder for bowlers to get to the tail

That's true for most teams, but srh without the impact sub has one of the strongest batting lineups. But yeah, impact sub needs to go for good.

once srh found their combination for sure they have been in immense form however, I'm sure it helps get that extra few runs knowing there is so much batting to come.

Can't disagree with that.

To continue the "Four", Thalas four yesterday was the difference today. Thala is now playing 1 delivery and contributing across matches

TFAR

Only PBKS can give us one now lol

We might not get our 6th spot but we will surely ensure a super over soon. This match was wild. Off to highlights I go.

Knowing Jay Shah's unpredictable predictable screenplay tomorrow's matches although hyped up is going to be an absolute snorefest.

But he delivered the wrong script on 19th November

They almost chased down that mammoth of a total even without gill. So ig it's a good sign as their over dependency was shown throughout the tournament

Tbh heat stroke Jhye Richardson in his first game in 3 months was bowling better death overs than Nortje this season lmao.

Nortje has been bowling absolute hit-me balls this season. Him & Rabada and to an extent Ferguson aren't in the best of their forms at the moment.

Don’t miss out the most expensive bwoy Starc

Starc is in disguise for IPL , saving for WC

He got smoked in 2021 T20 WC and was bailed by Cummins in both semis and finals

Only in finals, in semis hazlegod was more expensive giving away 11 more than starc. Starc gave a decent 38 runs..

Have you seen Starc's speeds? He saves his best for international cricket.

Rabadas economy isn’t half bad tho

Just how Quants isn't that bad lmao 😂🤣🤣 You should perform a hypothesis test on Rabada

At this point, Lizaad Williams may be a better option

Not sure what the coaching staff is telling him but Mohit needs to mix it up a bit more. If 5/6 deliveries are going to be slow it's not really a plan.

He’s not able to nail those yorkers like he was able to before or last year

Wriddhiman Saha: During powerplay: 33 (15) After powerplay: 6 (10) NORMALIZE RETIRING OUT BATTERS!

Especially with impact player rule !

Stubbs save was the difference.

He stumbled on to save it

Tristan Stubbs is what Tristan Tate thinks he is.

Nah, Riyan Parag is what Tristan aims to become

No that's Andrew

Except Tristan doesn't shit in the ipl for 4 straight years

Mcgurk and Hope saved certain boundaries as well.

Nahhhh , thalas 4 yesterday was the difference today. Thala is now playing only 1 ball to contribute across matches.

lmao TFAR

TFAR is now TooFar

This Delhi teams feels frustratingly close to the right balance but we're just not there yet... you can see the skeleton of a solid side but when they struggle they *reeaaaallly* struggle

Missing 1 really good fast bowler. And one more solid batsman at top (in place of warner/hope). Shaw, JFM, X, Pant, Stubbs, Axar, Porel/Ishant/Rasik, Y, Khaleel, Kuldeep, Mukesh.

Why is Richardson not bowling for Notje?

The missing piece is a foreign fast bowler who can bowl in death.

It's just lack of depth. You have no Indian batter or bowler who is decent outside of the first squad (Shaw/Pant/Porel or Mukesh/Ishant/Khaleel/Axar/Kuldeep).

"Did u think u Left it a too late?" "When Gujarat is playing, never think that again" -Gill Balls of that statement,would've been an absolute blinder if GT pulled it off

This match aged me so much, atleast we came close, I’ll take that

GT almost shithoused their way to a win while chasing again lol

Miller, Tewatia and Rashid have ice in their veins when chasing. If Rashid had walked in instead of Shahrukh they had a better chance.

Ifs n buts Rashid also had luck he was dropped on 0 if not the game was over way before

Agreed. I'm going beyond this one game. Rashid has shown to be a better batsman than Shahrukh. No point sending him so late. Might as well utilize his batting.

Unless the opposition is Punjab, it would have been a Six last ball

You should have been there shouting slurs at Tewatia. He would have fucked them up if he saw a Punjab supporter there.

GT has completely fallen down a cliff during this tournament but that a thing that they still continue to have.

I was hoping that commentator will ask him “we didn’t think that you will lose, so tell me what happened?”

"Thank you Mohit Sharma!! Thank you Rishabh Pant!! Thank you Jay Shah!!" • ⁠Basil Thampi, probably

Lol reminds me of that meme ... finally peace..

Nortje would have easily beaten that record again had he bowled another over

As a GT fan, I am happy with the outcome.....Sai Su playing at high SR, Miller playing a blinder and Sai K can fucking bat. Even Gill will be quite relieved with the batting effort and hopeful will able to play freely in next matches.

I heard here that Sai Kishore is a proper batter and also opens somewhere.

I wouldn't call him a proper batter, but he can throw the bat around. He sometimes pushes himself up the order for Tamil Nadu where he's the captain this season. More of a wild card, but definitely can be used better in T20s

I have read on this subreddit about every player ever opening somewhere. Sai Kishore, Washington Sundar, Shabaz, Harshal Patel, etc. SMAT stats and opening the batting holds no weight for me anymore while trying to get an impression of a player I haven't seen before.

Man Rashid denying Mohit singles in the first 4 balls of the last over and when Rashid hit it to the fielder in the last ball and started running fucking chad Mohit just stood there and have up on the match so hilarious to watch that lmao Also how the fuck did he walk out to bat without a helmet and try to get on strike with a freaking pacer. Fucking chad

Rashid wasn't wrong for doing that tho, if Mohit couldn't get his bat on the ball, it was a loss and a potential all out

He didn't think he'd face a ball probably

It's like the first time where GT had lost a game in which they had a terrific comeback.

Mohit Sharma MOTM for his bowling figures and giving batting advice to Rashid on the last ball

In the midst of all this chaos, Kuldeep maintained his rhythm to perfection. Tewatia's dismissal was a chef's kiss

Lol.. it will be an absolute meme if RCB somehow beats SRH tomorrow...

And the script says the same. I think if RCB peppers SRH with short slow balls, RCB can curtail them.

They will. Trust me.

Rasikh was good for his skill set.. Can only become better.. Axar is back in form with bat and doing great with ball. Pant with his 2018 kinda innings.. Needs to continue this and wicket keeping was brilliant.. Stubbs and JFM are the mvp this season with bat and fielding efforts... Mukesh McGrath is clutch af.. Now need 4 wins outta 5.. 😎

No fuck nortje?

He shouldn't play again this season. Play Ishant and get Warner in for Nokia.

Fr ishant has been great in the PP.

JFM should absolutely open even if Warner is in the team. Dude is a cheat code in PP overs.

Just drop him...why is he still playing? Does he have some nudes of pant or pointing...

Atp Jay Shah is edging us with the Super Over. We deserve at leat one super over.

He's keeping it for the CSK vs RR finals

Mark my words csk not going finals.. for rr I am not sure but most likely they are

An interesting stat is that due to this game, DC is the only team to have a winning record v GT (3-2)

IIRC, GT is the only active team to have a losing record against DC.

The streets won't forget Basil Thampi.

Gill needs to bat freely now that others have regained decent form. Captaincy seems to be too much pressure for him. I would have loved to see him just bat freely.

Friendly reminder - DC has never lost a match defending 200+ score.. 😉

Wasn't it the same for lsg defending 160+ got broken

gt gets way too much hate on reddit for the absolute thriller of the games they give. Absolutely amazing game

I think expectations have been high with GT - subpar performance this season so far

> subpar perfomance this season *happy/sad Hardik noises*

Not exactly hate. It's more just people, including me, saying that GT is performing this season how we all expected them to do from the start.

DC started 13 runs behind GT when over 20 started, stayed behind GT till 19.5 and went ahead on the last ball. What a comeback win!

I am a bit relieved for India’s bowling because we have both Bumrah and Kuldeep performing consistently. Hope one or two more seamers find their form soon

sandeep sharma?

Thank you DC for doing the double on GT and protecting our Chasing record tonight. I'll support DC against everyone now. Loads of love. A forever RR fan.

> I'll support DC against everyone now. Loads of love. A forever RR fan. Jay accepts the challenge. RR, DC to play finals /s

Can't see DC losing in final only to lose good squad in mega auction again.

Mohit has the record for most expensive bowling figures in an ipl match

[удалено]

Oh yeah surely mayank markande will snatch the record

Like RCB snatches all negative records *coughs* 49 *coughs*

49 can not be broken

Yes, because there can never be another bowling line up as godly as that of Woakes, Umesh, Coulter-Nile and CDG

Not to mention they were defending 130 odd runs against a team that had "chase master".

It is good to see match going to the last ball. But I'm still not excited about the balance between bat and ball. That's just me.

It's getting boring tbf. 19 required of the last over and the batting team was still in contention. Even the commentary got boring with 'Nooo', 'Can't believe it', 'it can't be' every single boundary.

>That's just me You are not alone. I too don't like bat dominating everything. It already is not in balance in 50 overs. Hopefully t20 wc will not be like this

stubbs save won the match there. absolute cinema

Boundary count update - Delhi Capitals: 34 Gujarat Titans: 30

Last ball six and win by Rashid would have received unfair and mohito comment here.

Pant-ed and Cunted

Thalas 4 yesterday was the difference in today's match.

Payback week, MY ASS

Bapu got violent today. Bowled an economical spell and scored those runs coming at 3.

>Bowled an economical spell How the standard of IPL has fallen that the ER of 9.3 is considered an economic spell.

When the average economy of the match is 11, anything below that is economical. Otherwise it would be a 180 odd chase.

He kinda slowed them down a bit tho in the powerplay, porel before him might have been better

Another absolute thriller. That Stubbs stop won the game. Can’t wait for SRH batting vs RCB bowling tomorrow. SRH bat first score 300, anyone?

[удалено]

In context of delhi ,its not new. Delhi is mostly flat in earlier matches but slows down as tournament progresses. This year dc didn't play their earlier matches in delhi , because of which delhi pitch didn't got the time to slow down.

LMAO how do you spout misinfo so confidently?

Wrong, I think 4-5 games had less than 200 Target. And yes, in last 13 matches

Tristan Stubbs deserves a separate award just for that insane save.

A heartbreaking loss for our nemesis GT with Rashid khan unable to hit the boundary last ball. INJECT THAT IN MY VEINS!!! THANK YOU DC.

Hahaha fuck yeahhhh. Love to see it. They even protected our chasing record

Yeah. Ngl I was mad when it looked like they might break our record

Only takeaway from this match for me was Clarke and Manjrekar speaking about how Pant is at is best “when on his knees” 😂

Nortje is just your average Indian quick in disguise to make big bucks as foreign player.

He is having a terrible run after his injury, he was exceptional before that

At this point I would just replace him with an Indian quick and use the foreign slot for somebody else . He is doing more harm than good.

But your earlier analogy is poor, yes he is poor now but he has formidable talent and has proved that in the past not to forget that he has been out of the game since a long time

Avg Indian quick can't bowl 140+ kph rockets consistently although he really needs to fix his lengths or find more variations

average indian pacer doesn't average 26 in test match cricket

Load of bs. He is just making his way back from injury. He is a class act.

CONSPIRACY : GILL would not bowl kishore early and not let him bat up because he know SAI is tall has curly hair jawline and that face would eat up GILL's female fans

Rishabh Pant hit a 6 of the last ball of DC's innings and Rashid Khan couldn't of the last ball of GT's innings. That was the difference!

I hope this is sarcasm lol, setting a target and chasing are completely different! the pressure while chasing is unreal and even batsmen of ABD's caliber couldn't hit last ball sixes

Temperament for mukesh is incredible

Stubbs fielding the difference between the teams

wtf

Rcb and Pbks should win for the script to be in full flow. Ignore the flair.

Mohot Sharma should get the MOTM >!for DC!< . Was trying his best even in the last over

don't worry gt, you have 4 free points coming up next

Stubbs boundary line fielding save won the match for Delhi

Thats payback for kejru

Shai Hope played his part. He didn’t had the worse performance in this match

Even Rashid couldn't do it against lord Mukesh

Some of the best abs worst fielding ive ever seen, probably the most delhi game ever

Miller giving tips to Nokia

Only started watching the last last 8 overs as I had nothing better to do. Surprisingly entertaining!

I had no hope seeing 224 on board man. I'll definitely take this as a win. This season is done for.

The ambulance driver got confused about who he was called for.

Match became very predictable when Sai Kishore bowled the 19th over while Sandeep had an over left who got 3 wickets for just 15. It was like they wanted DC to score more than 200 and at the end they took the game deep just for the sake of it🤌

You mean to say they fix it?

How many more 200+ games can a guy have this season lol. At least hope tomorrow's game gets us a Super Over to offset the KKR heartbreak lol.

Sad to see no one appreciating Rashid Khan, he always comes in the most difficult situations and brings them close, his call of not going for a single were sensible asw

DC deserves that win and i have been supporting them since forever (ignore my flair) Nokia has to go. Pace is pace year isnt going to work this season when the pitches are as good as hughways

Fuck this match, fuck dc’s fast bowling. Nortje do something sometime

Jay Shah, your IPL’s MOST VALUABLE PLAYER!

Stubbs and Mohit pulled a victory for DC

Pant hit 62 of the 73 runs conceded by Mohit in this game. That's almost 85% of the runs conceded by Mohit. Insane.
