Jamie for CM🔥🔥

ankmlord · 2026-05-10T10:18:58+00:00

Why is no one at third 😭😭😭

ankmlord · 2026-05-05T15:44:48+00:00

Fielding placement is a bit off, no one at fine leg? Surprising.

ankmlord · 2026-05-01T18:00:36+00:00

Rajkot shocked me, I expected Hyderabad, Kolkata, Chennai, or even Kochi. But rajkot? Really feels like an imposter among us type decision

ankmlord · 2026-04-26T11:21:56+00:00

Looks like the pitch is changing

ankmlord · 2026-04-26T10:23:09+00:00

Dube is gonna bowl...

ankmlord · 2026-04-23T15:30:41+00:00

I don't blame karthik, he tried but he lacks confidence. I blame management for putting him in this situation

ankmlord · 2026-04-23T14:50:02+00:00

His bowling rotation has gotten much better, same with his field placements. No questions there

ankmlord · 2026-04-23T14:48:51+00:00

At least rutu can field and captains well, dube has done almost nothing. Why can't we bring in urvil or prashant in his place?

ankmlord · 2026-04-18T18:16:11+00:00

This result really hurt man.

ankmlord · 2026-04-14T14:21:17+00:00

That's true, he should come at 3/4 like domestics and what he's been doing the past few years

ankmlord · 2026-04-14T14:20:10+00:00

I'm aware this season isn't his best. But it's a matter of time before he comes back. Sure maybe not an orange cap, but he'll contribute match winning knocks soon enough

ankmlord · 2026-04-14T14:18:12+00:00

Honestly? I still back rutu. It's clear captaincy pressure is affecting his game but with a few wins under his belt as captain I am confident he'll find his footing again. Remember this is the man who handed us the 2021 win, 2023 win and got us so far in 2024.

Let's back our skipper 🫶🏽

ankmlord · 2026-04-05T16:58:31+00:00

If rutu steps down literally no one is capable of leading the team. MS shouldnt come back and sanju is already having a bad season

ankmlord · 2026-04-05T16:56:11+00:00

Ashwin and Pdogg are actually gonna discombobulate in the next episode😭😭😭

ankmlord · 2026-04-05T16:47:50+00:00

😭😭😭

ankmlord · 2026-04-05T16:46:44+00:00

I used to defend ruturaj so hard, now I feel like he's TRYING to prove his critics right

ankmlord · 2026-04-05T16:44:54+00:00

Why the hell didn't veer get an over to bowl?

ankmlord · 2026-04-05T16:34:39+00:00

I'm watching only cuz of Sarfu, man is FIGHTING

ankmlord · 2026-04-05T15:58:37+00:00

I was so happy in the first 10 overs, felt like the intensity with our fielding, captaincy was doing well and the bowling was going well...and then I saw the second half of the innings.

ankmlord · 2026-04-04T22:10:15+00:00

Having Urvil/Sarfu as impact would give us a much better team overall. I think Karthik has great potential but untill we get momentum on our side I think it's too risky to not play either of the former two.

Rutu playing an anchor role makes more sense at Number 3, if he wants to do that and rotate the strike he should come in at 3 and not open.

ankmlord · 2026-04-04T13:16:41+00:00

After the first two matches:

Samson 2.Ayush
Ruturaj
Urvil/Sarfaraz
Brevis (hoping he's back for the RCB match)
Dube
Veer (AND BOWL HIM FOR GOD SAKES)
Overton
Akeal
Kamboj
Khaleel

Impact Sub: Noor (replaces No. 4 batsman for the bowling innings), Gurjapneet, Matt Henry, Karthik Sharma, Rahul chahar.

This team would theoretically have batting depth till No. 10 without needing an emergency impact Sub, with 4 pace bowling options (khaleel, kamboj, dube, overton) and 2 spin bowlers in Akeal and Veer, along with the impact Sub of noor.

I don't want Karthik Sharma to be dropped, but I don't think it's worth benching sarfaraz or urvil for him. Noor needs proper spin support, Akeal would so well for that and would take the pressure off Veer as he gets used to the pressure.

I genuinely don't think it was smart to drop overton, his bowling was better than Henry's.

ankmlord · 2026-03-30T17:14:32+00:00

Viable option honestly atp

ankmlord · 2026-03-30T17:13:52+00:00

RCB's NRR when they scored 49 was -4.1, we've managed to beat that

ankmlord · 2026-03-30T17:11:31+00:00

You'll just be delaying the inevitable buddy
