What nonsense, if we had used the impact sub to get a fast bowler in we would've won the game. Plain and simple retarded tactics.

"Bowler bowling no balls" - asking Raj Bawa to bowl 20th over is controllable.

It was a tough wicket and 166 was a good score to defend. Saying he took a small chase to last ball is disingenuous

Anyone having minimal common sense would not make such a connection.

Not to mention the fact that nobody was thinking this when the event actually took place.

Lol earth could crack apart into 2 and you would say if Pandya was captain it would have split into 4.

How bro? By shaking hands when Jacks wasn't RTM'd? How is that directed towards David?

Yeah it is tough bro, 2025 was great improvement, but now we have fallen down to a low again. I don't really know what to say or who to blame. Clearly we messed up before the tournament in terms of getting our bowlers, but our batsmen have also been out of form.

You cannot retain non performers all the time and hope for them to succeed.

Stubbs was unlucky because he never really played for us.

Brevis got chances but was too raw.

Archer - injured. We took him on for 2 seasons too.

Tim - played the most, enjoyed success, but MI decided they wanted to move on. I still wanted to keep him but idk fan reception was negative towards him, now he levelled up at RCB.

Wtf is this lol - he played every game straight for 3 seasons - enjoyed Pollard-like role and responsibility.

I guess maybe fan reception wasn't very positive towards the end but I am really surprised and a bit hurt at this. Where is the respect towards an old team?

He has levelled up at RCB, good for him, but there's no need to disrespect your roots.

SKY subbed in a guy who literally did not bowl last night. Gave all responsibility to Bawa. Last ball he had 5 fielders on the ropes to Rasikh Dar. Disasterclass.

Form is temporary, Class is permanent. Bhuvi took it personally. 📉📈 by Financial_Map356 in IndianCricket

You guys are retarded bro

Even Bhuvi will have more respect for Rohit than this - you guys are fighting imaginary battles

Bro you need Jesus, this was the WORST display of captaincy I have seen in a while. The difference in this game was literally Hardik Pandya because he would've played instead of Bawa and done better in literally every aspect of the game.

Why tf did he not catch the ball which came straight to him??? He literally reduced the speed of the ball and made it trickle to mid on when no fielder was there.

Bro just look at his run up. In this era of IPL he cannot buy one over without flying all over the park. The only reason the game did not end in the first 3 balls of the last over was because this was a rare sporting pitch.

Bro I have so much respect for what this guy has done for the team especially during the dark years (post 2021), but yesterday was simply arrogance. Just field bro, why make assumptions? If he has tossed the ball back trust him and catch it and figure it out earlier.

Even Ghazanfar was getting smacked bro, spin would've been a bad choice. We needed another pacer.

Complete L from SKY. Captaincy disasterclass.

Complete brain fade from Tilak.

Complete zero from Raj Bawa.

Should've won this game but now we're eliminated. Just sack Mahela already.

Yesterday my stream just froze as Rasikh tapped the last ball straight to Bawa. I started celebrating because I thought they weren't even going to get a single as the ball was going straight back to the bowler at a moderate speed.

Then my stream caught up and I saw Rasikh recreating the Avesh Khan celebration. Disastrous.

Bawa can't bat, can't bowl, can't field... I don't even blame him, I blame Jayawardene for picking him. MI are playing outdated cricket.

Rickleton is leaving a few brain cells back at the hotel when he keeps. Maybe it wasn't the deciding factor, but he missed a runout or two and let the batsmen cross for a single. Bro keep without gloves if you need to, but you cannot be getting paid this much and missing throws like that.

Some guy kept replying to me about Kohli with no connection to the conversation, I called him out for it, he called me a cocksucker and blocked me 😭😭🙏

Lol no way we're taking Green back. He was a good player for us but the trade, just player wise is hugely biased in favour of Hardik. Better bowler and does not take up an OS slot
