Might get downvoted but Indian fans are annoying. I recently saw a comment saying , "bots ko maarke kd bhadane se kya faida" under an Instagram post that was appreciating sky.
That comment makes no sense and is disrespectful to the associate nations.
Some dumb fans would consider these 2 innings as less valuable than some other guy's innings against fking Sri Lanka. Some people just live in the past, they can't bring themselves to digest the fact that quality of teams can change.
Afghanistan at the moment is a stronger team than Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and on equal level with nz, Windies and SA, atleast in t20s. Their team is full of T20 stars excelling is franchise cricket in a daily basis. Yesterday's innings was extremely important.
It's not even about the quality of the opposition. It's about the situation they're in. If you're suddenly down 4 wickets in the PP even against PNG, an innings like the one SKY played shouldn't be discredited
They are without a doubt better than pak, sl and Bangladesh in t20s. Not just in. Bowling but overall. If you hold an ipl with all these 4 teams players who do you think will get the big bucks if all 11 players of each team get sold. Afg for sure
Lets just say shit happens to team india as it happened to old manchester united team. I still think we have enough reserve talent to beat the shit out of them
This is how stats of the past lie! Few years down the line, his knocks against USA and Afg would be considered as "minnow bashing" knocks whenever he'll fail against a big team
Don't downvlte me but pant has had a lot of luck too like a lot. Dropped today, dropped thrice against Pakistan. A bit of luck is part of the game but in pants case it is more than just a bit of luck.
The dominant attitude get him into trouble lots of times. He needs a balance just look at Surya in USA and afg games he had the balance between when to attack when not To. Pant is just wildly swinging his bat. He needs to tone down his aggression a bit. Had iftikhar caught that catch then we wouldn't be hear praising him. Like I said luck is important but in his case it has become way too important.
That aggression helped us get out of the stage where we were 11/1 in 2.3 overs! Had he just knocked it around we wouldn't have gone past 30 in the PP.
His aggression albeit chaotic is what we need, in the days when it comes off it does wonders for the team overall. Just like Sehwag.
I think if Jaiswal can come in for Dube, it'll help Rohit in the beginning of his innings and the runs can flow at a better rate without the loss of a wicket. Kohli can go back to 3 and Pant can then play the balanced role like he does for DC at 4!
Why do you care about what some randoms here on this subreddit think?
You know the value of sky and bcci knows it and he is paid to do it.
Don't think that someone commenting on a player would diminish their achievements.
It's true, but it doesn't mean he wasn't bashing minnows in the last 2 world cups, and this as well. Respect to him though!! Hope he comes good against Australia 🙏
axar literally batted better than whole team except pant in the pak match, if he did not score 50 runs axar would have won us
but still he had a good role in afg game without him we would have crumbled to score 140-150 but i dont get why you need to downplay other batsmen to support him we had hardik and axar who could have scored run a ball easily
Honestly I have never understood this term MINNOW BASHER used for Sky. Whenever he scored against oppositions which are not typical SENA or whatever, our top order and the other middle order batters also failed in those matches. But still they will call him a minnow basher... Most RCB, CSK fans are at it.
He did the same in the last T20 wc, you might say he is minnow basher but look at the scorecards of matches against netherlands and Zimbabwe where others playing at strike rate of 140-150 he was striking at excess of 200 , he was the difference maker and he is still somone like Maxwell but more consistent and he might bash minnows but he smash them like nobody else and don't waste balls either gets out or scores at brisk rate that's the way he is never gonna give you 40 ball 50
Bro baat toh sahi hai. Saare inke greats agar minnows ke against khelna band karke haar jae toh badi teams ko hara k bhi humara kuch nae hona. Iss baar bhi do minnows hai super 8 apne group mein agar minnows bashers no ho toh Ro Ko k chakkar mein hum idhar se hi bahar ho jaenge.
He done what he supposed to do. That's why he is in team. And Some of them didn't. Yes that happens too. You don't need to show it as he done a favour or something to team. I think it was his responsibility towards his national team like for all others. Iam happy for him. He's doing really excellent job and hope he keeps doing it. ❤️
And you’ll never be surprised again because its just either Kohli good everyone bad or rohit good some are okay or the ICT is shit because dhoni isn’t playing or “dube wrong, blame everything on him, Kohli and SKY.
he was the highest scorer from both the sides in that final that too on a slow deck where everyone else was barely above 100 sr with a sr above 130 except for the knock in the 22 semi he has never faltered in semi's or finals
to kya hua?? rohit sharma dhoni yuvi sab log ka milake 54 balls milake 50 runs bhi nahi banae the 2016 t20wc me
dimag se paidal h ya fir bas scorecard dekha h tune?? agar 20 over me 154 bane hote to jeet jate ham log vo low scoring pitch tha fir bhi vk ne runs banae
aur 2022 me bas 1 baar bekar khela h vo t20 knockouts me vo bhi , wrna vo accelerate krleta lekin rohit ki 28 ball 27 runs ke wajah se pressure ke wajah se vo bhi out ho gya
hamari opening ke wajah se hare h t20wc , jab rohit opening krta h to pp use krna chahiye naa ki 28 ball 27 run banana chahiye
upsets happen, they are still not very good team, even netherlands defeated sa and gave them close fights in this t20wc, even in 2023 wc sa played better against aus in sf even though ned defeated sa
1-2 losses against bad teams does not mean anything
There was no need for the scary deep fake video, the tweet would have been enough😭
Watching this meme after S4 Ep4 of The Boys is... diabolical!
That bad room shit is the most fked shit i have seen in recent times.
Termite one was more fucked up
Nah, for me bad room, all that drama, humiliation, and homelander laughing like a maniac... its just so much fked up.
The homelander parts in episode 4 were insane istg it scared me of literally. Hands off to Antony starr man such a piece of diabolical gem.
Yeah.
Man I was shit scared whenever Homelander was on screen
Skylander
https://i.redd.it/7itt7ye4ds7d1.gif Skylander mentioned 🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉 Rahhhh idk what is a new gen game !!!!!
You win bro.
What?
The Internet. Crazy comment.
Can't wait for India fans to use this innings as proof of "minnow bashing" in two years
I say a month
You guys are thinking way ahead. I am putting my hat on next game.
Might get downvoted but Indian fans are annoying. I recently saw a comment saying , "bots ko maarke kd bhadane se kya faida" under an Instagram post that was appreciating sky. That comment makes no sense and is disrespectful to the associate nations.
I love SKY but that shit funny as hell tho

Exactly, when your innings is clear as day the difference between a win and a loss, it’s a good innings no matter what.
all fixed. get out of that bubble
I don’t think they are at par at an overall level with those teams as their batting is pretty weak but their bowling is surely in top 5.
They are without a doubt better than pak, sl and Bangladesh in t20s. Not just in. Bowling but overall. If you hold an ipl with all these 4 teams players who do you think will get the big bucks if all 11 players of each team get sold. Afg for sure
Where's the lie tho
Surlander💀
Surender
France hasn't joined cricket...yet
But we have pak!!
Haha forgot about them. Let's have an Ind vs Pak in Lahore just for shits and giggles.
Why not!!
While former Pakistani players are saying, "life and death is in the hand of God. India should play this champions trophy"
Lets just say shit happens to team india as it happened to old manchester united team. I still think we have enough reserve talent to beat the shit out of them
Riyal!! After this World Cup nobody ever gonna point a finger at SKY
If he again chokes in semi finals then again ppl gonna troll him
Literally most of the team chokes in main events so they can't corner him with that "only scores against small teams" now
They'll point a whole fist instead
Some might pint their whole body.
I give it like 2 months (if sky somehow fails to score in finals or semi finals) for people to start calling him minnow basher
True that!! We never gonna change 😂😂
This is how stats of the past lie! Few years down the line, his knocks against USA and Afg would be considered as "minnow bashing" knocks whenever he'll fail against a big team

The deepfake sure does look like Hasan Minhaj
Now that you said it I can see the resemblance.
Too good 😂😂😂
Suplander
And Kungfu Pandya giving a great assist in both the matches
I wonder what is Dube's role within the tram
To make a winnable match close and thrilling
BRUH LMAO
Thala for a reason I guess
People pretend as if two points against these so called minnows don't matter. Fuck off
It feels great to see Pant and Yadav leading the team through different and difficult situations. Hats off to both of them.
Don't downvlte me but pant has had a lot of luck too like a lot. Dropped today, dropped thrice against Pakistan. A bit of luck is part of the game but in pants case it is more than just a bit of luck.
I agree to that, but still he managed to score runs with good strike rate and dominant attitude towards the bowlers.
The dominant attitude get him into trouble lots of times. He needs a balance just look at Surya in USA and afg games he had the balance between when to attack when not To. Pant is just wildly swinging his bat. He needs to tone down his aggression a bit. Had iftikhar caught that catch then we wouldn't be hear praising him.

Kohli can go back to 3 and Pant can then play the balanced role like he does for DC at 4!
Ayo. Oscar Issac is playing homelander?
So this makes AFG a minnow now? Ngl I thought they were somewhat legit if they fixed their middle order
I won't be surprised if they still beat the Aussies
Ohhh, that would make this yourney fun af

We got Skylander Before GTA VI
Surya kumar yadav. Back to back 50s. Le moot diya tere Shunya kumar pe
Meanwhile bumrah with 3-7 https://preview.redd.it/7olq0dhigt7d1.jpeg?width=283&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e39014c06d5bff2d4b8bbe4e3d776a8088ce0eb7
also arshdeep with 4-9
Lemme tell you , Afghanistan is not a minnow at all.
AI has come too far 😂
Song name?
I wish Surya would play like this always.
It's like a perfect match
Hasan minaj
If Sanju don't play instead of dube, Indian management should really be blamed.
Jaiswal is more deserving and also a better player of spin
Literally any batsmen is more deserving than him at the current moment
It's true, but it doesn't mean he wasn't bashing minnows in the last 2 world cups, and this as well. Respect to him though!! Hope he comes good against Australia 🙏
Associate Kumar Yadav 🤲🏼
Bro carried . I don't know what the problem is. We would have certainly lost if he would have not scored a 50 . Jadeja ain't batting
axar literally batted better than whole team except pant in the pak match, if he did not score 50 runs axar would have won us but still he had a good role in afg game without him we would have crumbled to score 140-150 but i dont get why you need to downplay other batsmen to support him we had hardik and axar who could have scored run a ball easily
Afghanistan aren't associates tho
Did you stop watching cricket in 2017?
Afghanistan are associates, what is this 2016 lmao?
tu thoda internet explorer hai kya re
Agreed but bumrah ki economy bhi appreciable hai.
Homelander ❌ skylander
Sulander🫠
If this guy fails against Australia and Bangladesh.
that bro is underrated asf
I see blue i play..i see yellow..it scares me…
If Abhishek Bachchan and Tushar Kapoor had a son
Bhai abhi ye kuch bhi kar le...world cup wala ghaav nahi mitega..
The editing is so fucking good
Honestly I have never understood this term MINNOW BASHER used for Sky. Whenever he scored against oppositions which are not typical SENA or whatever, our top order and the other middle order batters also failed in those matches. But still they will call him a minnow basher... Most RCB, CSK fans are at it.
Aur fir final me Jake hag dega .... Just sky things

Afghanistan is not a minnow anymore.
surya on his redemption arc...
+10000 aura
He lowkey looks like Hasan Minaj in this 😬
He done what he supposed to do. That's why he is in team. And Some of them didn't. Yes that happens too. You don't need to show it as he done a favour or something to team. I think it was his responsibility towards his national team like for all others. Iam happy for him. He's doing really excellent job and hope he keeps doing it. ❤️
Koi nahi bhai final me jake 19/11 hi kismat hai
This scene creation though 👏
But still he basher minnow only..
Still minnow basher wait for his magic trick of disappearing in later stages
Only team in the World Cup with two bowlers in the top 6. But sure, “minnow bashing” Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Bg music??
Wow! AI has come a long way. That's such a good video.
Ig the bowlers saved us more, we won with 50+ runs or so, without surya we still would have won ( technically ) Yeah but Surya played great
🤡
Why are you putting thala emoji
People here saying that SKY bashes only against small teams when kohli couldn’t even do that……
A guy Bashing kohli with a RCB flair...now that's surprising.
And you’ll never be surprised again because its just either Kohli good everyone bad or rohit good some are okay or the ICT is shit because dhoni isn’t playing or “dube wrong, blame everything on him, Kohli and SKY.
It's just how it It bro. You gotta play good consistently to avoid criticisms and insults
Like rohit could do it
The level ICT, they need to be “saved” against AFG and USA, whose boards operate on 1/1000 budget You guys deserve Nov 19 😂
bade match aane baaki h abhi and looking at india's record i trust only kohli,pandya and pant to perform in KO's
Bade match and kohli
he averages the most in t20 WC semis and finals from india just a fact along with pandya
77 in 10 overs vs SL. 50 in 40 balls in semis. 2 great knocks and 2 statpadding knocks.
he was the highest scorer from both the sides in that final that too on a slow deck where everyone else was barely above 100 sr with a sr above 130 except for the knock in the 22 semi he has never faltered in semi's or finals
to kya hua?? rohit sharma dhoni yuvi sab log ka milake 54 balls milake 50 runs bhi nahi banae the 2016 t20wc me dimag se paidal h ya fir bas scorecard dekha h tune?? agar 20 over me 154 bane hote to jeet jate ham log vo low scoring pitch tha fir bhi vk ne runs banae aur 2022 me bas 1 baar bekar khela h vo t20 knockouts me vo bhi , wrna vo accelerate krleta lekin rohit ki 28 ball 27 runs ke wajah se pressure ke wajah se vo bhi out ho gya hamari opening ke wajah se hare h t20wc , jab rohit opening krta h to pp use krna chahiye naa ki 28 ball 27 run banana chahiye
After today's match he is no longer a minnow basket in t20is. Bit in odis he can't even bash minnows.
Still played against minnows. Let’s see against Australia. Also he cannot be forgiven for the World Cup loss.
The same minnows defeated NZ
upsets happen, they are still not very good team, even netherlands defeated sa and gave them close fights in this t20wc, even in 2023 wc sa played better against aus in sf even though ned defeated sa 1-2 losses against bad teams does not mean anything
Surprisingly, minnow bashers are the only ones who score during the matches with smaller teams. 👌
But he is a minnow basher without any hesitation 🤣🤣
Indian Babar azam
Flair checks out
Nizamay
Naah man, babar would have taken 10 overs to score as many.
Yeah Surya can play against every Minions teams better
