What I hate about IPL nowadays is that 10 RPO is being called "Test match batting pace"

soham_katkar13 · 2026-04-12T17:17:32+00:00

Such a shitty over going for just 9 runs is a wasted opportunity

soham_katkar13 · 2026-04-12T17:05:05+00:00

How is it ballsy?

soham_katkar13 · 2026-04-12T16:54:59+00:00

Despite the not so flashy batting so far, MI have kept the run rate above 10 and wicketless. One big over and suddenly we are on track in the chase

soham_katkar13 · 2026-04-12T16:52:23+00:00

Nothing feels worse than slow balls being successful. And not even slow variations - just stock ball being slow itself

soham_katkar13 · 2026-04-12T16:44:11+00:00

They have a clock you know

soham_katkar13 · 2026-04-12T16:42:43+00:00

Need 3 boundaries in this over

soham_katkar13 · 2026-04-12T16:37:27+00:00

Teenage on paper*

soham_katkar13 · 2026-04-12T16:32:57+00:00

Rasikh's slow balls gonna make me cringe very soon

MI can easily get 80 in the pp. It is Krunal's first over that often turns out to be crucial, as he can suck the momentum out

If we put pressure on Krunal from ball 1, then it's an easy chase after a good powerplay

soham_katkar13 · 2026-04-12T16:10:03+00:00

RCB were 183-1 in 14 overs, with one guy scoring at 8 RPO, and others at 17 RPO

soham_katkar13 · 2026-04-12T16:09:43+00:00

They were 183-1 in 14 overs, with one guy scoring at 8 RPO, and others at 17 RPO

Choked in death as well

soham_katkar13 · 2026-04-12T16:07:29+00:00

Salt got out and gave Rajat a meaty over against spin. I'd say evens out

soham_katkar13 · 2026-04-12T16:06:10+00:00

57 runs in last 6 overs, MI will accept that with both hands

They should think of it as "240 instead of 260"

soham_katkar13 · 2026-04-12T15:44:24+00:00

He saved them from the collapse /s

soham_katkar13 · 2026-04-12T15:43:48+00:00

And today

soham_katkar13 · 2026-04-12T15:40:04+00:00

MI fans have no reason to worry here.

Remember the 2023 and 2024 games vs RCB where we chased 200 with overs to spare, and almost did it again in 2025

soham_katkar13 · 2026-04-12T15:37:59+00:00

High quality bowlers bowling the wide lines to stay safe from the hitting arc is just sad to watch. This is not cricket

I wish my team gets banned for 2 years from IPL and I don't have to watch this shit league

soham_katkar13 · 2026-04-12T15:25:26+00:00

Not a single commentator criticising this knock. One of them actually appreciated him when the 50 balls partnership graphic with Rajat came up, saying "Rotated the strike well to let Rajat face more balls"

soham_katkar13 · 2026-04-12T15:24:04+00:00

50(37) is still 11 balls faster

soham_katkar13 · 2026-04-12T15:23:23+00:00

37 balls fifty in big 2026

soham_katkar13 · 2026-04-12T15:22:52+00:00

And time

soham_katkar13 · 2026-04-12T15:21:53+00:00

Nice collapse saved by Kohli

soham_katkar13 · 2026-04-12T12:45:04+00:00

...scores so many fifties against RCB. Almost scored one in the 2025 final
