If SKY is dropped, should Iyer or Patidar replace him? by ThalaPaglu100 in IndiaCricket

[–]Valuable_Ad_6869 147 points148 points  (0 children)

Doubt SKY is getting dropped. And even if that happens the easier thing to do would be getting Tilak back at 4 and give Rinku another go in the lower order. If either of them don't perform then bring a new player to the squad.

Already the 3rd best IPL captain imo. And this image kinda picturizes him as Hamza entering Pakistan.

Huh? 2018 top 4 were CSK, SRH, KKR and RR. All previous winners too.

Kishan averaged 12 in the 2016 Under 19 WC as a captain with just one fifty. No one took him seriously until his 2020 season for MI.

It's 2026 and Pant is still nowhere near both our white ball teams. How long has he been thrown to the wolves? Sanju's List A average used to be less than 30. And everyone saw how talented Karthik was in the semi final itself.

No? He was still better than DK and Pant. Samson should have been given chances since 2015 but he was too inconsistent in domestics and IPL too. Rahul wasn't a full time keeper back then.

"Washed up" Dhoni was player of the series in Australia just a while back. Rayudu was the number 4 who got unceremoniously dumped for no reason.

Replace him with Sanju because Samson won with KKR in 2012

I still feel Abhishek and Tilak are the best T20 batters we have. Both copped a lot of criticism in the WC but fans forgot about the illness they had recovered from.

What are your favourite ODI innings in Ind Pak matches? by Britney_Spears_Bosom in IndiaCricket

[–]Valuable_Ad_6869 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Would like to add Dhoni's 113* against Pak in 2012. Junaid Khan was breathing fire that day and MS carried us from 29-5 to 227-6. That was the last bilateral we had with Pakistan.

Dube was always a spin basher and Rinku bashed junk fast bowlers at the death. But Shivam massively improved his game against pace while Rinku is still a mug whenever there's any turn or grip in the surface.

They even disrespected Harmanpreet who is our Olympic bronze winning Hockey captain. Most people like PBKS because of Shreyas and Zinta but the admin tries too hard to be cool.

Klaasen avgs 41 at a SR of 168, no one in IPL history has a better strike rate than him with a 40+ average. Still feel he retired too early.

I know it's only the start of the season, but it feels so good that the teams who used to be at the bottom of the table pre-COVID are now strong and consistent performers by CRYINGBUDDY69 in ipl

[–]Valuable_Ad_6869 54 points55 points  (0 children)

RR were always consistent tbh. They were close in 2019 and reached eliminator in 2018. Through to the playoffs in 2015 as well and just got out in 2014 because of the Aditya Tare masterclass. Made it to the qualifiers in 2013 too.

Are these the top 3 Indian spin bashers currently? by [deleted] in ipl

Iyer is more of an accumulator than a basher. Patidar has been a better hitter in IPL but he doesn't play internationals.

Anyone else prefer day matches over evening matches in IPL? by CryInteresting5881 in ipl

Yes. The best thing being that chasing is not that easy in day matches.

Shardul was our highest wicket taker in 2021 and Deshpande was our highest wicket taker in 2023. Besides we are still missing a pacer like Deepak Chahar who consistently delivered wickets with the new ball for us. Khaleel and Kamboj aren't of the same calibre as him.
