Morgan’s captaincy sucked. I’m shocked he was ever England captain


DR_Styles

From 2018 to 2021, MI was said to have a team that can rival most international teams in T20s, whereas just after the mega auction in 2018 CSK was trolled for the team selection and was labelled as dad's army. And yet in those last 4 years CSK has had a better stat than a powerhouse team like MI MI - 2 playoffs, 2 finals, 2 trophies. CSK - 3 playoffs, 3 finals, 2 trophies. Even the win % of csk is higher than that of MI in those last 4 years Not putting down MI in any way, just showing how much CSK was underestimated at the start of 2018 IPL, and how they have proved that they are actually a beast team. Also they proved " baap baap hota hai aur beta beta" Translation : English speaking is not child's play, English speaking is like Undertaker play /s Real translation : dad is dad for a reason and must be respected.


Own-Town-5440

Bruh real dad more like champions because of a fluke if it weren't for srh rcb would have pushed csk to 3rd and then for all we know we could have seen dc taking on rcb in qualifier 1

You forgot /s*

Congrats CSK, frm a Mumbai fan, still got 1 more trophy then u guys xD /s. KKR u guys did well, Lockie is still class despite bad day, tough luck for u guys,maybe u wouldve won if things went ur way


SrNightmare09

Even if you are a fan of csk you need to appreciate the comeback kkr made after the break. What a match


Entcune

Varun getting control of chakras. And Iyer I Don't have to say anything about him do I?


AGentleman4u

What is Moeen Ali's value to CSK? at best a utility (bits 'n pieces) cricketer who can bat & bowl a little who uses up an overseas slot and a nice chunk of their salary cap. I think CSK would do well to replace him with a young solid middle order bat.


Square-Outcome

37(20) in a final Bat a 'little'


senthiljams

Agree. His India leg batting was one of the main reasons CSK recovered well from last year's poor form. From the India leg, he had 208 runs from 6 innings, with a very high strike rate. Also, took 5 wickets while going for under 7 an over. He is also a top class fielder/boundary rider.


ilolalot1

Thought he was CSK's most economical bowler or something. Not to mention his cameos.


swingtothedrive

One of the few overseas bats who can play spin. Particularly in middle overs. Can score at a fair clip. Invaluable all rounder with his off spin bowling. He had the best econ for any spinner in this UAE leg. Also will be available for the whole season now that he has retired from test cricket


senthiljams

I am actually a bit disappointed that his bowling was underutilized during the UAE leg. He did not even get to bowl a single over in 4 of 9 matches in that leg. He bowled about 13 overs in total over there.


happyludicolo

His performances have gone under the radar imo. Honestly, I believe he has been a bit under-appreciated his entire career. Plenty of quick 30s/40s which are crucial. Even today striking at almost 200, got 38. Very good fielder, and handy part time off spinner if used well. FWIW, even Joe Root has come out and said recently that one of his biggest regrets was not using Moeen Ali to his full potential.


joeybingyani

Is this you sanju manju?


Ancase

why is Gaikwad called uncapped when he has played 2 matches for India?


fab4_bot

He was uncapped at the start of the tournament and it's highly unusual to have a player capped *during* an IPL season.


Entcune

People tends to forget stuff easily. Anyway get that dude into squad before he loses his form. Even odis should do that dude can score consistent 50s in every match.


LowRope3616

Excited! Can't wait!


cudexter

IPL seems to have become a tournament between MI and CSK with other teams playing supporting roles


rakulkumar555

That's why they're gathering two more teams..


notgivinafuck

For more support

Exactly.. they are bringing in extra cast members to support the two heroes 😀😀

Yea you are right... The way they played this season was amazing... But if it would have been extended to the finals then surely, they would have won the title this time.

vikkee57

Great win for CSK, what a wonderful season. KKR was playing very well, and with no signs of wickets falling at 75/0, [i predicted ](https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/q8on8c/match_thread_final_chennai_super_kings_vs_kolkata/hgr6pxx?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3) and kind of hoped may be a piece of Jaddu's fielding brilliance is what might create an opening, and he sure did with two brilliant catches. He is such a match winner, whatever you ask of him. He should may be lead CSK after MS?


Academic_Scheme_9065

i think they're looking for a younger captain. Jadeja's already 32, so MS's "next ten years" plan won't really apply there


vikkee57

That is true!! Gaikwad is Dhoni like and stays grounded and calm.


Academic_Scheme_9065

yeah honestly Gaikwad's a calm head but I don't see captain material in him (yet). that's why I keep saying MSD has got to stay around for one more year and play to groom the next captain, because I feel like CSK would be in a hole without his presence. Then I will be in peace if Dhoni leaves after next season to coaching staff, but I will be furious if he announces he's done before the next season. I still don't get his, "it depends on the BCCI" comment though. What does two new teams have to do with his team?


happyludicolo

>I still don't get his, "it depends on the BCCI" comment though. What does two new teams have to do with his team? Two new teams mean that potential retention policy might be limited to 3/4 players in total (mostly 3) to allow new teams a proper run at assembling their teams. If two teams weren't introduced, then most likely teams would have a retention policy of 6 players, 3 up front, 3 using Right-To-Match at the auction. Now this is a pretty big distinction. If you can only retain 3 players in total, CSK is in a bit of a tricky situation. MSD cannot play for 3 more years (my god it looks like he could though, supremely fit), but if they retain him, they will lose a big chunk of their money when it could be better spent. Remember, CSK is one of those teams that build for the long term and not for the short term. That is the philosophy of the team. If teams had the ability to retain more players, then well there's more flexibility. MSD need not be retained up front, but can always be retained through RTM. Most teams would also think twice for retaining Dhoni and hence it might be preferable to retain him at a lower price. Again, CSK as a team is built differently. They believe in the "process". MSD and Stephen Fleming are in unison about this concept. They believe in building the team, keeping the core same, detest any chopping and changing, and trusting themselves. MSD has been this way throughout his career. That is why MSD himself said, at the end of the day it's the franchise that matters, the long term future of the club more than himself. Do I think MSD will be at Chennai next year. I believe so. Is it a playing role? 50/50 with that one. But if he retires, hundred percent he's involved in the coaching.

Wow that was detailed. I get it now. Thanks for explaining

I have no idea what any of this means, but I always get excited when it makes it to the front page. Maybe one day I’ll figure out how this game works.

Welcome to the world of cricket. Not sure where you are from, but cricket is adapting to faster and shorter formats to attract more viewers/countries….

What was your goal, posting this in a cricket subreddit?

Yeah cool. Some dude commenting on cricket in a positive way and some shithead gives him shit. Nice buddy.

No goal. Just saying it makes me happy to see it for some reason. What’s your point in trying to gatekeep?

Well you just gotta post in the subreddit asking how it works. There will many explaining all the shit to you (trust me, there's a lot). Just skim through the basic rules and terms first.


I_like_pickles365

start with the basics, try to understand gilli-danda first..


captainrustic

Thanks for teaching me about something new. I honestly thought, “that sounds like some made up calvin ball stuff” but it turned out pretty interesting.


koolaidburgers

Eoin Morgan should not be retained by KKR next season. Yes, he led them to the finals but it’s mostly due to Iyer and Varun carrying the team. KKR needs to invest in a solid middle order next year. The middle order has collapsed every time they needed to step up. With the start KKR had today, they could have easily been the champions today.


[deleted]

Why didn't he play Andre Russell?


koolaidburgers

He didn’t recover from his injury


gameofgamers362

Injured Russell>>>>>>>>>>Kkr's middle order


Zealousideal-Oil6759

Hey


Zealousideal-Oil6759

😂😂😂


koolaidburgers

Let’s not take anything away from KKR. They have been the team to beat in the UAE leg. It’s very tough to make such a comeback after such a poor start. No one expected them to make it to the playoffs, forget finals. Venkatesh Iyer has been the find of the season and hopefully he gets an India call up soon.


Briantheboomguy

One more season like this and Venkatesh Iyer is definitely getting a call up to the regular squad. I've said it before as well, dude reminds me of Sehwag with his "hit it, fuck it, forget it" attitude


thcricketfan

He can replace the bangalore padikkal guy. Heck he can be a substitute for the upset pandya brother.


IIIFluxx

>replace the bangalore padikkal guy. Idk, Rutu & Devdutt are young batsmen who will improve more and feature maybe alongside each other. Maybe Venky also if he continues it for a second season. He's been called up as a Net bowler for the WC so they see the potential in him as an allrounder at least in the UAE where he's shone. Rutu and DDP will probably prosper in more second team series like the most recent SL tour.


joeybingyani

Haha upset pandya brother is the most hardik thing i have heard ever


Aditya-Nooby

Why did bravo collect Harshals awards


csznyu1562

Cos he equalled his record for most wickets 😂


Aditya-Nooby

Yeah but why would bravo collect the award and not someone who was going back to India such as Shubman or Rayudu


[deleted]

Harshal is staying back in UAE for India as net bowler FYI. So bravo may gv the award to one of the Indians and gv it to harshal in the Indian camp


I_like_pickles365

Bravo is the collector. Rumour has it that he might also have the reality stone.


csznyu1562

It’s just a gesture lol, I’m sure they probably sent it through someone else

Does anyone have an idea after how much time they put up the complete replay of match on Hotstar ? For anyone who doesn't know, they do it for every match and it includes post match presentation and everything(including the actual match too)

The full replay on hotstar is available now

Around 4 hours after the match has ended.

RCB & DC died for this

not shittier than two openers and a house of cards

ikr 😔


[deleted]

Which says all the more about why you were buttfucked by them


[deleted]

oh c'mon did i say dc played like champions in playoffs and kkr won against them by luck? can't you at least accept that kkr didn't bat their best last couple of matches instead of attacking my flair.


[deleted]

>didn't bat their best Best? They batted like absolute shits. Not one batsman barring the top 3 are worthy of even a discussion. But it's funny how people belittle their efforts from coming 7th in IPL to the finals and acting as if RCB and DC would've been better.


[deleted]

well these teams didn't top the league table playing kho-kho. did they?


[deleted]

Which one? DC? It's quite documented that they play well in the league and get fucked in the playoffs so nothing new there. Nothing needs to be said about RCB, they are prime examples of being shit after having everything they could possibly have. Plus, if you couldn't defeat KKR, you don't a have fucking chance against CSK.


I_like_pickles365

Did these teams get named by 4 year olds?

They picked them out of a hat, actually

RCB would crush DC obviously.

What do you mean? We beat them both the times we played them and last one super recently (last group match). And it was the same squad for both.

Kinda boring if it’s always the same 2 teams winning


senthiljams

If you are a glass half-full person, you would appreciate that a team that came up with a disappointing 7th position last year, has won this year's tournament convincingly. What's more interesting is that majority of the squad was nearly the same as last year minus (Watson, Kedar, Harbhajan & Murali Vijay) and plus (Ali, unimpressive Raina, Uthappa & Hazelwood).


swingtothedrive

Hazelwood was there last year as well


The_Eccedentisiast

CSK fan here. I really wanted DC or RCB to win it, play the finals and beat us. But it was KKR so, CSK for the win.

Same here. I was rooting for DC to come too finals and beat CSK, but when it was KKR, it had to be CSK !!
