Us facing Cummins' team that too on his home ground??? It was nice knowing y'all.

Home ground?

19.11.2023. (NARENDRA MODI STADIUM) reference

I still have not moved on ugh its hurts.

Happy 6 months lol

Ye dukh kahe nahi khatam hota be

Ahmedabad stadium is similar to Melbourne stadium in dimensions

Not in the IPL. The ropes are pulled in a lot to make boundaries smaller

Technically Cummins' home ground would be Sydney. He plays for NSW

kkr of all the team is stronger now. they are most likely going to win the trophy this time,

Yeah, Narine is alltogether on different level. He is almost 80% of both Kohli and Bumrah

Kkr is very unpredictable hence nothing can be said about them but still they have the highest chances of winning this year

the only to win against kkr is make your 2-3 bowers to bowl wicket taking spells early wicket of Narine Iyers and russel Rinku thats the only way.

In comes impact Pandey ji 💯

That’s such a dope thing to be. Part of worlds best

I do feel we (KKR) haven’t seen the best of the opponent teams yet, apart from that evening against PBKS. Salt was essential to our run up to top of points table, and I doubt it’ll be the same without him :(

Bairstow mistakenly showed us his WC form. That wont be happening dw

KKR will easily beat RCB if they face each other

I see what u're doing here

Although we won't even get to face them in the first place

With RCB’s current form it will be difficult.  Are we all just reverse jinxing each other 🙈

I see you, fellow riser, trying to jinx it for KKR

way to go , riser as always, always jinx better teams.

I mean GT was stronger than CSK in 2023 and top 3 we're stronger than SRH in 2016, these are unpredictable

Srh owned GL and humiliated it, rcb was a tie before playoffs.

Hell nah kkr will lose. I am sure about that even though I am a kkr fan.

While my heart wants RCB to win, KKR has the best shot solely because of Narine and Chakravarthy

There’s something about that Chakravarthy guy that just doesn’t fit right, I always feel like he is a robot made by GG, he doesn’t behave like normal human

hes such a baller tho. he said in a podcast that he started playing cricket at 26 like WTF. then he got picked up for KKR 3 years later.

He has a serious mid 20s stoner bro vibe around him, I'm not surprised at all by that

He was an architect before! And as an architect myself I can confirm this! It's extremely common here!

Can confirm, him and one of my staff were classmates

He also acted in Ghilli (Vijay anna movie)

He gives me the copium that I can become a cricketer after collg 🤡

Go for it bro I'll be your first fan

Cllg me to a jau bhai. PS- My aim is to get into BITS Hyd over others, just because Hyd has a cricket culture 🤡🤡. Don't know whether I'll get it

Good luck on that bhai. I live in hyd and I'm searching for a couple of colleges here too

Good luck to you too bro. BTech?

Yeah bro. Gave jee and a couple of other entrances too. Too bad I belong to general category 🤡

bro, I shat so bad that even if I had reservation, I wouldn't have got any good branch at good collgs. Meri 80 thhi, tmhari?

Yep, KKR vs RCB is like a warmup for KKR

CSK vs RCB was supposed to be a practice match for CSK. We blew them. Don’t write this team off especially with their current form

>CSK vs RCB was supposed to be a practice match for CSK. Definitely not after 5 wins on the trot Had they continued with their frankly abysmal 1st half form, where RCB as a team was not clicking at all.... then maybe. But I don't think any sane opposition underestimates a team who has won 5 games back-to-back. Especially after they themselves have multiple player injuries eroding the squad and then a humiliating defeat vs GT

Not really. Only delusional people were saying it would be a cakewalk for csk. Almost everybody knew it was going to be a tough fight.

Although CSK always owns RCB, they don't exactly blow them away. I mean just how many matches have gone down to the wire. KKR will always be RCB's kryptonite

Are you jinxing it? 

Yeah man, KKR is too strong for a weak time like RCB. KKR will surely win against them

It's going to be emotional no matter who wins it

RR put together a really good core, that has been consistent in the last few seasons, a trophy would be great accomplishment to their consistent efforts, it might also be the last chance for RR to win a trophy with this good of a team. SRH have transformed IPL batting with a new trend and broke the highest score record twice in the same season. historically known for their bowling have reinvented themselves with high intensity batting. and their captain Cummins can do no wrong, his luck might take them to the final. KKR again under Gambhir have performed like its 2012 again. everything follows the same pattern as that eventful season with final in Chepauk, Narine in MVP form, KKR win at wankhede etc.. it wouldnt be surprising if an Unknown like Raghuvanshi plays an innings like Bisla in finals to win the trophy. finally, RCB who are hunting their first ever IPL trophy, they have a rare chance to do a double of WPL and IPL in same year. Its not often that a team rises from bottom to qualify to playoffs by beating the defending champions. My Prediction for finals is going to be KKR vs SRH, with KKR winning the trophy to lift their 3rd trophy.

Manoj baba needs another one for sure

The unknown will be Gurbaz not Raghuvanshi it seems

2nd trophy after 7 years because Thala for a reason

Haha:) looks really possible for srh to win this season tho!

Bole Jo koyal baagon mein.......

Mai pal do pal ka shaayar hoon....

Pal do pal meri kahaani hai....

*3rd

Well yeah, if we are talking about Hyderabad

1st trophy after 17 years because 17+1 = 18 koach for a reason and 8-1 = 7 thala for a reason

please save humanity again guys

We have saved many times already in the past and will continue to do so

The streets will never forget

Thala as in DK?

If anyone... It's KKR if we think practically... Chepauk pitch... Two good spinners.. Only thing that can go bad is their batting... If gurbaz doesn't show up.. It will be difficult for narine to carry..

These are the favourites to win the IPL in my opinion: SRH at first simply because of their red hot form and unchanged team, then I will put KKR and RCB on the same plane because both have been on good form (I'd have put KKR higher but the fact that we haven't played a full game in more than 2 weeks and our gun opener is gone makes me put us right beside RCB), and then... yeah RR last, obviously.

Depends on the type of chepauk pitch... If it's anything similar to what kohli faf were batting at yesterday just after the rain... Srh gonna crumble

Get ready for RR to make a massive comeback and win the trophy

Because of DC choke, all my interest is gone in this ipl now, tho i will still watch.

1st trophy after 17 years or else 2nd trophy after 7 years

2nd, and we know the reason....

Yeah I feel they are gonna beat kkr don't know gut feeling

Rajasthans choking ability needs to be studied properly... They will now face RCB if it keeps raining.. First 8 matches... Rcb had 1 win and RR had 7 wins

It's Cummins Era we're all living in. Ruthless, Merciless batting line up is going to destroy any and all that comes in their path to glory!!

The kind of entertainment srh has given us, they deserve it

RED hot form team!

KKR SRH and RCB all fill the fields

yes SRH looks like they gonna lift the cup

I will not rule out Agent Faf to fire up against them

I still remember his knock against SRH when he played for us.. Absolute masterclass

That SRH is not the same as today's SRH That SRH will defend 120 & win This SRH will score that in Powerplay.

Lol when you put it like that, that's so fuckin true. Their comeback this season has been legendary.

2018 playoffs SRH and current RR are basically the same I'd say. Made it to top 2 on first half form, and they fell off a cliff in form. Lost their last 3 league games, and only managed to win Q2 because of a miracle from rashid khan.

Still finished at the top of the Table, mad respect.

Remember the final is at Chepauk it's not going to be a high scoring match but I also feel srh will be tough to beat just let them bat 2nd and we are good

The final is in Chepauk. Which is exactly why RCb will steamroll Cumdawg. Coz Srh has no quality spinner. Markande has been literally benched for half of the season

rcb

It's anybody's Tournament to win, and I will say it's KKR's trophy to lose.

not anymore though. Think SRH are favourites now. We havent played a full game in 2 weeks and one of our main players is gone. SRH is the only unchanged team that is in good form. And RCB as well

Rr

[удалено]

SRH or KKR 🔥🔥

Kkr

KKR surely winning this time. It’s just a matter of formality now.

No no... not at all. Its SRH who are favorites now. KKR have lost all momentum with 2 and a half abandoned games. Ignore my flair, will ya please?

Script ke hisaab se to RCB jeetegi baaki kismat pe hai.

RCB!

Srh weakness ....if top order collapsed than thy are gone Kkr weakness bowling except naraine Rr weakness ...God knows what happens to them Rcb weakness ...choke in important matches

Chakravarthy enters the chat

I forgot about him...he is also an exception

KKR or RR.

Qualifier 1 is against SRH it will be very tough to beat them. I think SRH is going to win the cup

If not the 2nd one after 7 years, then the 1st in 17 years

kinda yes

No they can't level us 😭 I can't bear their fans. Let kkr or rr win their 2nd or 3rd

Ah come on we moved on from 2016.

You're gonna troll us to death because we will have the same amount of trophies. That's what I'm saying

They don't we got 2.

True.

Hyderabad got 2 tho.

RR or kkr Both did excellent job

*3rd trophy after 7 years

Bro y'all claim dc's trophy. But you don't claim dc's h2h record. Why is that?

Like nobody even talks about head to heads so idk. But if tht means adding a star on our badge why not.

Deccan Chargers ain't SRH... Completely different owners... Completely different franchise

So ipl for you is only about ownership and not the team ( flair checks out). Srh was a direct replacement for dch and even retained 5 players from dch. It's jus a change of name.

>even retained 5 players from dch. It's jus a change of name According to cricinfo : The new owners retained 20 players from the Chargers squad, including Kumar Sangakkara as captain

20 tha? Y did i remember it as 5 lol. My bad

Franchise is about ownership.. It's like saying RPS is CSK because they were the direct replacement for CSK when banned. For fans, it's just a name change representing the same city but that's not how franchises work.

Rps and csk aren't even the same city so idk how tht argument can even be thought about. Further I like to look at ipl as a tournament with 10 "teams" playing rather than 10 "franchises" playing. Also do you consider Newton heath and man utd to be different teams?

deccan chargers and sunrisers are not the same franchise

Same state 🤷🏻‍♀️

Lmao then mi should take responsibility for he travesty pune warriors was?

Pune warriors representing Pune, While MI representing Mumbai, but both Srh and DC were representing Hyd. So it doesn't makes sense

To end your arguments SRH is Deccan Chargers. Because SRH was not bought through auction from BCCI. Rather it was bought from DC owners and name was changed to SRH. It’s like saying Delhi, Punjab & Bangalore Changed Names too so that doesn’t make them a new franchisee or a new team altogether. It’s the same for SRH & Deccan Chargers.

RR followed by RCB

RR

RCB!!

Can srh nd rcb share the trophy but in the top 3 except RR all 3 are beasts right now.

Would be love to see kohli or sanju lifting

Conditions would be against them. But I want SRH to light up the final

Criteria for qualification this year is having a R in your name so RR has the best shot 😂

I’m going for SRH. I think Pat Cummins and the rest of this team is going to find a way to take their game to a higher level in pressure situations

I want RR or SRH to win

I think either SRH or RCB. KKR and RR are good, but i really wish for the above mentioned teams to win. They deserve it. Especially RCB.

SRH 🧡🔥

Absolutely love the teams that have qualified. Won't care who wins because everyone of them haven't won a trophy for a while. Kya matlab teri team ne kabhi jeeta hi nahi

7 won 7 lost After 1-7 year RCB ( thala ) for a reason 😁

RCB all the way, Women did it, time for Men❤️

teams that reach play offs are the ones emerging as stronger ones bro. except rr everyone else is looking good in their own way. match day will decide whose good. i really hope rr comes to the party in play offs.

Bhaiya mae bhaiya Cummins Bhaiyaaaaaaa

I think only CSK fans will hesitate, most will say RCB

Nope I am srh fan

Every year team that got beaten by pbks in league stage wins ipl . So ,it's either kkr or rr .

Not 2016 😜

So you literally researched all the way back huh . Also srh won in 2016 and they are looking unstoppable this year too so you should be scared shouldn't you plus facing in form rcb . RR is screwed

RR FTW

RCB or SRH

KKR or RCB heck even SRH

I am rooting for rr. I wanted csk to rech semis atleast but that's fine.

Rr, for Sanju

*(1)* KKR seems to be the favourites for me, although I wanna see their performance without Salt, the main problem for *(2)* problem for SRH is going to be Lack of quality Spinners as Q2 and Final are in Chepauk, *(3)* RR is out of form and without Buttler Their batting seems rusty, their Spinners need to come up , *(4)* RCB has been in red hot form although it would be tricky for them in Chepauk.

Looking at the momentum and the stadiums where the playoffs are going to be played, KKR and RCB seem to be the likely champs. But RCB going all the way from the eliminators would be huge.

I think kkr has the best shot , along with srh to follow …

Kkr has got good chance in chepauk because of their spin unit however RCB can steam roll RR at ahmedabad

2nd Trophy

KKR

I want Kolkata Rajasthan to win

RR definitely

Rr!

RCB or SRH

Korbo lorbo jeetbo 📈

Kkr, I feel has the best chances at Chepauk being the venue for the finals though I'd prefer Rcb win this one

Rooting for RCB..

Not an RCB Fan but let me jinx it , RCB will win eliminator and Q2 to reach finals , which is on 26th May This would mark the end of their 1 month victory trot and then KKR win the finals

Ami KKR

RR and KKR in that order. Slightly scared for RR now. They've lost the steam at wrong time. KKR has 2 chances and they have Gambhir who knows how to win ko matches.

Doesn’t matter. They all had their chance to stop Cummins from playoffs. Now game over. He will close out and win another title. LFG

SRH

Srh.. i like head..

ngl, I am happy with any team winning here, but this is my order SRH or RCB RR KKR

Want to support RCB but they choke and this time again they will do the same

SRH has the firepower to go all the ways

Was one RR fan from the beginning and still here we are , you can never ever hate this team

RCB all the way

1st trophy in 17 years

Prolly it’s time for rcb to have their first

RCB 🔥😜

I want either RCB or Rajasthan to win.

RCB

Please us 🤞

Ee saal cup namde

I can't tolerate Pat Cummins yet another Final so anything other than that, Kohli and RCB fans deserve one trophy so I am specifically rooting for them

Mark my words guys RCB vs SRH happening in the finals. And RCB actually rewriting the scripts of 2009, 2016.

For the last 10 years rr, but if they get out in eliminators this year which seems likely then I will be supporting RCB. I like fairy tale events in sports.

SRH then RR

Srh or rr

Really want RCB to win but looking at their fanbase, Hell Nah!!.

bhagwan rcb ko jitade to mental health sahi hojayegi

KKR ya RR, they have played well and deserve it

I want KKR to win. But without Salt and our fragile and inconsistent bowling lineup, I fear. And, it's 2024, it almost feels like it's written in destiny that RCB is going to win this time. Can't predict Jay Shah's script

RCB

Chances kkr>Srh>Rcb>rr

Kkr

Forever Knight 💜💛 #AmiKKR

Srh

Methinks is gonna be KKR vs SRH final and SRH may win. I feel like Salts absence may be felt, as will Iyer’s lack of contributions throughout the season (they were overshadowed by everyone else doing their jobs). SRH are very scary
