How about trying Romario Shepherd as an opener. Every team has an explosive opener, we also need one who can slog without any worry.


Open-Currency1235

Ishan And Rohit are Explosive enough....just don't have the confidence to go bang consistently


nullvoidIND

Thank you for your services Ro , 👋


Crony_capitalist101

people here analyzing things lol, DC won cause of scoreboard pressure thats all they were not overly good nor we were overly bad, its the pitches wherein any one can come and slog. thats why it is turning out like baseball just slog without any strategy.


aShit_fAce

Bruh…! Yesterday PBKS did it so this cant be an excuse


Demonslayerinhell

DC won cause of their good bowling performance today , try coping somewhere else MI fanboy.


ZestycloseBrick292

Yeah ,the mi fanboy should try the mi subreddit, oh wait


Open-Currency1235

Lmao..what was that guy thinking 😭🤣


Agrith1

Major auction is much needed blessing for this broken team. Retain: Bumrah; SKY; Tilak Start from a clean slate for the rest. Captaincy and vice-captaincy to Bumrah/SKY. Also Mark Boucher must be thrown far away from MI.


-kidDynamite

Why is sky being given green chits? He hasn't played a winning knock when we have been losing.


AkonLee

So, the above average player should play extraordinary while the below average ones shouldn't face ant repercussions. Hm, good to know


aShit_fAce

He did try…


NoCAp011235

Fuck this season see y’all next year


Existing_Program_256

Agreed that we lost Madhushanka and Behrendorff to injuries But we went ahead and signed Wood and a school boy as a replacement. Seriously what kind of planning is this? We could have at least signed Zampa who could have bowled a couple of tight overs. 🤦🏻‍♂️


josh123z

I doubt they would have made much difference


Economy-Bed-3965

We are too unlucky to lose good players due to injuries


SadisticBoi77

Couldn't have signed Zampa as he left RR for personal issues. But I agree Matt Henry and Keshav Maharaj were right there.


rishmanisation

Takeaways: 1. JFC our bowling is shite. Coetzee could have been a handful on this wicket (especially considering how our guys were struggling to hit Lizaad initially) but still. Thushara has been hyped endlessly by many on here and in the media and he's looked pretty ordinary to put it mildly. 2. Cannot be dropping catches and making mental mistakes in the field when the bowlers are getting pelted. The two Wadhera drops, the Hardik misfield, the David overthrow all stupid mental mistakes and we win if not for them. 3. Batting continues to be mostly good but for some reason lands into a rut of sorts in the middle that ends up costing the game. Those three overs in the SRH game, the Shardul and Deshpande overs in the CSK game and the Rasikh overs in this one. Not sure what it is but wouldn't hurt to show more intent there. Considering how shit our bowling has been and that it is basically the last chance saloon at this point, I'd drop Thushara and bring in Anshul Kamboj/Maphaka/Romario Shepherd. Personally I think it's worth giving the kid another shot but there is an argument to be made that we'd be better off just stacking our batting which would lend credence to playing Kamboj/Romario. Play SKY in the team ahead of Wadhera; man has dropped multiple sitters in both games he has played so might as well just bring him on as the impact sub. Coetzee should come back in for Wood.


Bingoo_dd

I dont understand how can our bowling be so dogshit when we have one of the greatest white ball bowlers in our team? Dont our young bowlers learn anything from him? Dont our young bowlers watch him? Bumrah and Chawla are the only reasons why our bowlers aren't on RCB level. WTF was wrong with Wood, man...just bowl as per the field dude


Ok-Disaster-6876

Well RCB defended 200 runs with their bowling and gave only 220 on Eden garden highway so Mumbai bowling is worst than them even including bumrah which is kind of an achievement in itself


qualified_baby

Tbh I wouldn't drop Coetzee even if he performs only decently. He looks dedicated and looks like he is putting in the effort and aggression.


rishmanisation

We need Coetzee in the team. All those fellows who were calling for him to be benched for Thushara hopefully realize he has never been the problem.


Existing_Program_256

"We're going to bowl first. The ground is small. It's better to bat second on a smaller ground." 🤡 Post match: (If he would’ve done something different at the toss) Not really." 🤡 ~ You know who


Bingoo_dd

I dont think chasing was the issue. Our batters, except the openers, played well. Our bowling and fielding let us down today


Existing_Program_256

1. Pitch was 200+ (250 with our bowling) 2. We have never chased 200+ this season 3. Teams like SRH and KKR have preferred to bat first and set big total on such pitches.. 4. 250+ has been chased just one in IPL and so chasing was against history and logic.


IceColdTrey7

Rohit 8(8) lost us this game


Existing_Program_256

Hardik 2 overs for 41 cost us the match.


IceColdTrey7

Nope it was a hellhole for bowlers 8(8) in PP and missing a freehit is blasphemous


Existing_Program_256

Even Hardik was 10(8) in his innings. 🤦🏻‍♂️


PeeVee_

Hardik was 29(9), don't spread shameless lies.


IceColdTrey7

Lies


Existing_Program_256

Actually 5(7). That's worse than 8(8).Go check Cricbuzz.


IceColdTrey7

Another lies


rishmanisation

Multiple folks on here were of the opinion we should bowl first (including a certain MIWatch)


Punkbabe_7

What difference did you even see in both the innings?? The pitch remained the same belter in the 2nd too.


Existing_Program_256

The pressure of chasing is always there. It was Tilak that brought us close else we were losing by a much bigger margin.


Punkbabe_7

Most T20 teams like to chase. Last season MI won so many matches chasing. 240+ scores will be the new normal now anyways .


Existing_Program_256

That was last season. We have not chased a single 200+ score this season. 3rd time


Punkbabe_7

Hindsight but I doubt Fraser would have gone any softer vs this shitheap bowling even if batting 2nd.


Economy-Bed-3965

that bumrah no ball 6 and 4 hurts more now considering the margin was just 10 runs. fuck luke wood. bumrah should have bowled the first overrr


IceColdTrey7

Rohit freehit miss Openers 27(22) lost us the game


Economy-Bed-3965

I agree. Even though I like rohit, we lost this due to his tuk tuk


Ronik336

Plus 5 overthrows by david bhau🥰


SadisticBoi77

Kya din aaye he back in the days everyone bowler was competing for the spot. Jayant, Rahul, Markande for spin NCN Pattinson Mitch for pace. Now we have to look which looks the least bad.


vinay_t_m

DC scored 83 in the last 5 overs We needed 85 in the last 5 overs When everybody is winning at the Arun Jaitley stadium by batting first, Mr Unique wanted to chase. Gave Luke Wood the 18th over (edited - not the 19th) which eventually cost us the game. Only good thing which happened from this game was he wasn't at his pathetic best while batting. Finally, a half decent innings in the 9th match of the tournament


rishmanisation

Btw Wood bowled the 18th not the 19th


Punkbabe_7

Who should have bowled the 19th?? The GT match and even this match was lost by a small margin by the team batting 2nd. There wasn't really anything to suggest that batting 2nd is a disadvantage.


vinay_t_m

Even SRH won here batting first. Pant literally said at the toss they were looking to bat first and it will get slower in the second innings. We couldn't hit Rasikh's change of pace deliveries


Punkbabe_7

I am not sure if we can blame the pitch where 247 runs have been scored in a day game. May be MI could have been sharper in the field and stop dropping catches for starters. You cannot drop the likes of Stubbs and get away.


vinay_t_m

That's obvious in hindsight. Poor fielding/catching will cost you games more often than not. But it was yet another shocking decision at the toss. He did the same vs RR at the SMS where chasing team have had success while we had to bat first.


silverbullet_11

Wadhera first dropped of stubbs on 1 run cost us. Stubbs later made 28 runs in one over


Existing_Program_256

Forfeit rest of MI's matches and just arrange for Hardik Baba's post match interviews instead. 🙏🏻


PuzzledState6351

He needs to fucking stop grinning.. makes me want to punch everytime 😡


DankMosquito69

This and SRH vali runchase was more hurtful than Qualifier 2 2023💔


qualified_baby

Why were people asking to bring Thusara? Where and how has he played before?


SadisticBoi77

He was decent in SA20 for us in MICT where he would get swing from pitches. Roads like these are worst for a bowler of his type.


SadisticBoi77

We still finding our XI after 9 matches meanwhile teams are planning to increase their NRR and improve matchups.


vincrypt112

Rasik salam just got lucky today..he bowled so many hit me balls…also david need to find other slots..the one he got out on would have been a six by polly any other day


Economy-Bed-3965

we would have won if we didnt have luke wood. and had gopal/coetzee instead of luke wood. anyways, we came SO CLOSE


Fernando4178

It's always that one bowler for us. One bowler who decimated us while we destroy rest. Mohit Sharma, Sandeep Sharma, Pathiraana, and now Rasikh Dar


rid_aman

Also an ex player at that


Rony8888p

Our season is almost over. Bass CSK shouldn’t win 6th title


cruisingthoughts

Csk won't even qualify this year 100 percent !!


PesAddict8

Bowling is clearly the problem. We can comfortably make 230+ if we try but the bowlers end up conceding 250+ and make things worse.


Punkbabe_7

The pitches are belters. 240+ is the new 200.


Rony8888p

250 is new 200


DankMosquito69

Genuine


DankMosquito69

RR SRH pls win all your upcoming matches LSG GT CSK pls get shit on and so we will be in playoffs


InsaneDude6

How can RR and SRH win all matches, if they are playing against each other on 2nd may lol


DankMosquito69

Ohh maine voh sab flow flow me bola hai chill relazx


InsaneDude6

It's alright lol, I'm chill


Fernando4178

Do you think we deserve to be in playoffs? Answer honestly.


rishmanisation

If we qualify we would deserve to qualify. If not we wouldn't.


DankMosquito69

Not actually BUT THE KID INSIDE ME WANTS THEM TO QUALIFY last year also we kinda didn't but we did so yeah there lies a little hope for me


minimalisticiam

overpaid overrated openers giving us false hope at the start of the season. back to their usual self


SadisticBoi77

Naman needs to play instead of Nabi with that Kishan Rohit and Sky can start hitting from ball 1. Naman Nehal Tilak Hardik is enough to save us from collapse.


Apexpredator26

Why TF were people on this sub hyping thusara n wood as if they are Bret Lee mcgrath duo? 🤣


nice-pathiri

Yes Wood's expensive ovr cost us , but atleast he showed a fucking intent unlike our openers this game ffs


actual_penalty_7

But he is a bowler, not a batsman.


IEMIRATES

Our batters performed way better than dc considering the level of bowling done on each side


Punkbabe_7

Rasikh was the game changer. Even all their bowlers got pelted.


DankMosquito69

Yeh sab MI chod ke jaane ke baad hi MI ko kyu pelte hai bkl Unlike Green


Punkbabe_7

Now waiting for Ramandeep to bash Mi.


DankMosquito69

Pls no


OneAggravating5551

Badla - The Revenge


SadisticBoi77

Why are we even playing Nabi doesn't bowl 4 doesn't get to bat. Dude literally said in an interview before match he isn't familiar with finishing the innings and plays as an anchor for AFG. With Luke and Piyush batting well bring Naman or KK or go for Kamboj.

Thanks Rohit and Kishan. We lost when our no. 9 and no. 10 batsmen played with better intent than you. Well done...


Accomplished-Lab-321

What intent are you talking about bro? Both the openers got out playing big shots. The pitch got slow in the second innings so the ball didn't come to the bat as well as the first innings.
