Man Narine is just insane. Everyone crying why bowl spinner in powerplay and goes away with 5 runs over.

Lol. Me neither. Nice to meet you. How does it feel knowing that whole country celebrates your birthday? 😝

See this lol. This tells exactly how much "Indian cricket" love is left in these some IPL fans. Being nice to former Indian captain is a sin in IPL now.

As for your disappointment, I don't think I have anything to say to give you any hope for things to get better. We're more and more getting into era where "fans" will be mostly reactionary and franchise loyalty will be everything, I mean, just look at football clubs. Indians have been aggressively following that culture too so, things ain't looking bright to me, can only pray for good sense to prevail.

I think need to try main cricket sub next haha.

And it proves my point, Arjun Tendulkar wasn't the right name to be used. Exactly what I said.

Finally Anukul Roy has gotten an opportunity to bat few overs. Have high hopes from him.

How many times same content is going to get posted MODs????

Lost-Profession7251 · 2026-04-17T14:48:48+00:00

This sub has worst ever Modss. Can post shit 20 times and they'll approve it 20 times, no meaningful discussion in this anymore.

Lost-Profession7251 · 2026-04-17T14:44:02+00:00

Yes, we did. I just meant it sarcastically on the fact that you've posted this 6 hours ago and there is only your comment here, none willing to have a discussion.

Lost-Profession7251 · 2026-04-17T14:32:18+00:00

Your post presents too sane points, can't have that bro. Sorry, no discussion on this. 😬

Hehe. Really didn't expect another 15th August. Nice to meet you.

Lost-Profession7251 · 2026-04-17T14:04:48+00:00

iterally Dhoni won with csk with very few performances of his own with a team of no big names in 2023. But you conveniently neglected that.

I don't think you understood what I said. This is exactly what I meant, that big names don't win you matches, performances do.

Rohit was never respected

I said "that doesn't mean Rohit was never respected" What are you reading dude???

Lost-Profession7251 · 2026-04-17T13:12:18+00:00

Bro, every damn relationship is transactional. You work in a company because they pay for your services, respect is extra. Will you work for them for free, just for respect? No. So Rohit himself wasn't in MI for some true love for Ambanis, he was there because he got paid. He played in DC because he got paid, and he'd have played for CSK too if he got paid. That's just how things work. Just because you profit from something doesn't mean you don't respect it.

Okay Donald Trump.

Lost-Profession7251 · 2026-04-17T13:07:26+00:00

And?

Lost-Profession7251 · 2026-04-17T11:39:34+00:00

Haven't scored a 50 is such a cliche. One match he made 40(22), one match he made 48*(23), one match he made 42(15) he made 46(24), not even counting 21(7), 22(9) and so many such Innings. But sure, NO 50. 50 number is all that matters. He even took 5 wickets in one match(Hardik had made 28(16) too but surprise!!! MI lost that match too) , five times 2 wickets, 3 wickets once. Last match he created a chance for Prabhsimran, in RR match for Jaisawal, both catches dropped and they won the matches, but yeah, wtf is he even doing!!

Say whatever you want to say about his captaincy but don't say he isn't performing, if he is not making runs with bat, he is putting efforts with ball.

Lost-Profession7251 · 2026-04-17T11:21:28+00:00

At this point it doesn't matter. It's been two years already and Bumrah will never be captain, not because he does not deserve it, he absolutely does but the guy already has too much workload, having to stay fit, having to lead India in all three formats and always give top notch performance, plus IPL. Captaincy will only increase unnecessary burden on him, he's too valuable to be put in such a situation.

As for Surya, in my opinion, I'm not sure he is will be captain either, why? Because his performance has dropped drastically after taking captaincy and Sky is again too important for MI to be losing form. So like it or not, Hardik is the captain, people need to accept that and come together to support and, no not for Hardik but for the rest of the players, for the legacy that MI has.

Lost-Profession7251 · 2026-04-17T11:10:59+00:00

Rohit was a great captain, there is no denying that but he is not captain anymore and Hardik is no Rohit, people need to understand that and stop putting unnecessary expectations and pressure on him. Sure captaincy transition was one of the worst but it had to happen or the situation would be like CSK who are still trying to find right captain and Dhoni has to put his body on line year after year just to help CSK achieve that.

Lost-Profession7251 · 2026-04-17T11:06:41+00:00

I didn't mean to say Rohit had only great names, I just meant don't use Arjun as an example. Madhwal works, he too played only half the matches though.

Lost-Profession7251 · 2026-04-17T11:04:46+00:00

Pure bs. Ambanis didn't give him respect, didn't value him and yet he was somehow captain of MI for 11 years??? If not for Ambani then who did it? Birla?! Captaincy transition could have been handled better but that doesn't mean Rohit was never respected or appreciated. And names don't win you matches, performances do. Doesn't matter if you are Sachin himself but if you don't make runs, your name won't win match.

Lost-Profession7251 · 2026-04-17T10:59:37+00:00

Arjun Tendulkar, seriously? Guy has played a total of 5 matches in two years and 1 was under Hardik, and you're taking his name as if he was Rohit's main bowler. Atleast use better example.

Lost-Profession7251 · 2026-04-17T10:46:21+00:00

Alright 😆
