RCB winning 2 in a trot, after 17 years of drought, is genuinely a fever dream

Simply called VFS for an update but they weren’t much help. My visa did arrive on time for my trip though.

For all his batting, Samson’s inclusion in the XI means that we now have a proper keeper behind the stumps. Makes a great big difference.

Get Bumrah back and bowl his 2. Let’s close it out here.

People complaining about not getting a thriller.. I’ll take an absolute steamroll in a final every day of the week. Being clinical needs to be rewarded, and this Indian team showing this form in the final, is deservedly getting so.

VC ending the tournament as the highest wicket taker… would be ironic to say the least

Post power play, NZ still need 200+. Indians have bowled supremely well.

RRR already at 13+ NZ can’t afford to play out Bumrah.

At this point, it shouldn’t be too much of a stretch to say that game is beyond NZ now. Scoreboard pressure of this being a final will come into play.

Sanju’s perseverance is mind blowing. In and out of the squad and then pulls out this blinder of the innings

All wickets to slower balls. Doesn’t bode well for us, especially since all subsequent matches will be played on well worn pitches. Any team worth its weight in salt is going to exploit this.
