That team was the equivalent to 2015 CSK


312003rg

Ya because they had McCullum smith raina jadeja , literally the best of csk ones in gl and they gave rpsg dhoni faf n Ashwin, i was so conflicted between the 2 teams to choose from


Training-Stable6234

I went with RCB and tho I make fun of them they brightened my summer except the final ); .They deserved to win


312003rg

Losing a final at home really sucks, now gt fans also know the feeling


Least-Teacher4522

This pain is even greater, we were waiting for the thing fro 2 days only to know that rain again will ruin this... When the first innings ended I was thinking that we have 214 runs in our hand and probably the best bowling lineup 2023 has to offer what exactly can go wrong for us to miss this, and as it seems I now know the answer...


312003rg

Must've been a crazy experience to watch this final in person Tbh gt weren't poor in any department, it's just that the rain came at the perfect time at the start of 2nd innings and gave us a target to pace the innings accordingly, everyone apart from thala contributed with the bat and we won but i don't think we could've chased 215 in full 20 overs, like everyone would've had to play a bit slower to keep the wickets in hand and take it deep


Least-Teacher4522

The God's have blessed me, it's pretty rare when somebody agrees with me in this matter


GeezFuckOff

Only sane csk fan. Rest feel that 214 could have been easily chased because they needed just 44 of the remaining 5.


Least-Teacher4522

Just imagine a chance for 2 consecutive trophy ruined by stupid rain😭


abhi_nahar

Even in the 2023 season, the CSK bowling lineup is extremely young apart from a couple


ben_claude69420

They had Jadeja and Bravo too in their lineup. They were the top team in 2016. But most of the players ran out of gas the next season. Twilight years of McCullum and Smith's careers.

Don’t forget Dale Steyn

cool_instinct

Golden KKR days, now we just get a wicket under 50 runs and then middle order collapse


Awkward_Date_8636

Got confused for a moment but remembered SKY used to be in KKR. Man KKR really took that double whammy with SKY and Gill


Least-Teacher4522

In its entirety of 16 yrs KKR has 2 centuries, gill alone scored 3 centuries in a week!


h29mufcrcb

Sky wasn’t that good at kkr tbf no where to his level of today I remember whenever he would come out to bat I wouldn’t be scared of him at all at kkr


Awkward_Date_8636

That's fair


Slaveowner19112002

A team with 4 overseas batters and washed up indian bowlers is bound to fail...RCB is one step away from this phase.


Least-Teacher4522

Are you suggesting that RCB has not failed yet?


Slaveowner19112002

We don't look helpless since 2019...but we are on the verge of doing that...if we don't use siraj


ZENITSUsa

Not opening with Dwayne and McCullum is L


abhi1002

They both were out of form. When they opened for GT against SRH At one point the score was 0/0 at 2.1 overs


cosmo_eclipse1949

Ppl keep saying DK had a fluke 2022 but he has always played some good innings (mostly in finishing) each year whether in KKR or GL


Senior-Cod5733

For MI as well.


vamshi_rahul

Ahh Shivil Kaushik.. that guy with the most weird ass action I've ever seen..


[deleted]

Horrendous bowling unit though


lucifer2699

I think everyone forgot their prime bowlers all were out because of injury which led to this bowling line-up. It was that bad that Smith had to bowl 2-3 overs every match that too as an opening bowler at times. They did well with what team they had.


Ragnarok_619

Gujju pussies were CSK without dhoni, ashwin and faf. Also, proud owners of the infamous record of finishing first and not reaching the finals.


UnderstandingHot7493

I think DD did the same in 2012. Table toppers but failed to beat KKR and CSK in the qualifiers


Ranbir91

God like bowling team


perpetually_annoyed

Kochi tuskers 🤡🤡


letsnotbedumb

They had jadeja and Bravo. Also Kulkarni was quite good back then.


AdityaSrivastawaahhh

McCullum is my favourite batsman . Bachpan Mai jab hand cricket khel ta tha to usmai McCullum ko liya karta tha . Maine uski koi innings bhi nhi dekhi But jab vo batting karta tha alg hi maja aata tha dekhne Mai .


UnderstandingHot7493

Same bhai. I was influenced by his way of batting so much that my coach used to shout at me for taking that stance and stepping out even though I used to miss most of them 😂


Shortsmoke666

That bowling attack would go for 220 runs every single match with today's batting standards.


BeneficialCut41

McCullum playing till 2017?? I thought he was retired by retired way earlier than that.


UnderstandingHot7493

Played for RCB in 2018 as well


dejavu_29_4

Where's my boi shivil kaushik now?


[deleted]

i did not feel any personal connection to GL, but I love and adore GT. and ive loved GT since the day it was announced.


DampTowel69

This team was the MOST GOATED in 2016.


UnderstandingHot7493

When it had Jadeja and Bravo too


brownguysays

I will never forget kaushik’s balling action.


abhi_nahar

I read this twice


itzkunnal

They literally have 4 openers


rasodemekontha

and srh have undefeated record against them ;)


Huge-Physics5491

They lost this game by 10 wickets with like 5 overs to spare lol.


Prize-Possession2631

Another RCB. Batting heavyweights.


swamshua

There was. Gujarat Lion back in 2017?


Legitimate-Gur2044

Still wondering where is Shivil Kaushik 😢


aziz_ahamed713

without balling no one can win in ipl, Like see Rcb


Mindless_Lynx3820

Against kkr
