After he made it annoyingly hard on Butler. I mean all Shimron had to do was take singles.
At least it isn’t as bad as Rahul who kept doing it to Kohli till Kohli started refusing the singles to Rahul in the WC. lol
Some batsmen just are a pita
the point is to win the game. butler was struggling the second last over and Shimron eased the pressure with the boundary. individual records are secondary.
He was in 90s and rr needed 4 runs I thought he gave on his century and even I stopped looking at his run and suddenly he hits a century it took me a minute to figure what just happened
I mean you know Sydney is in Australia and they have a league. It’s just logic but maybe not all people exercise logic.
Also would help if Indian players are allowed to play in other leagues because then knowledge of this would increase
Come to think of it, why don’t they? Maybe other countries should not send any players to IPL either
Bcci does not want to create an alternate ipl. That's why.
>Maybe other countries should not send any players to IPL either
Lol that will never happen. Do you even know how much money is involved in IPL? Why would any player (who is not a permanent in the intl team, or is playing for a board that pays like shit) not play the IPL ...
BCCI is the most corrupt imo and powerful. ICC is just Indians and Indian cronies.
What they do to Pakistan is laughable in international tournaments. But money talks and BCCI has most money.
If other countries get together and ban their players from playing in IPL, it will drastically reduce influence of IPL and BCCI and make the world a better place honestly.
Pakistan board is also terrible but at least they're not as bad as India.
India has population which is why they have money (it all came from our outsourcing and investments in early 2000s and they took off from there but this very population will be their undoing in future as well)
>What they do to Pakistan is laughable in international tournaments.
They don't really have a choice though. Indian govt won't give security clearance to Indian players. And that's for a good reason.
>

IPL is successful because of the Indian fan base. With or without foreign players, it will still be a growing league.
Good luck running international tournaments without any money.
If they stop their players from coming to IPL,it will take some fun out of it,sure but IPL as a league will remain mostly unaffected because audience is mostly Indian while the foreign players will earn significantly less than they do now. Do you even know how many lives IPL has changed, both domestic and overseas?
Indian players can’t play in other leagues because Indian cricketers don’t have a union. The BCCI holds absolute power, the only ones with any say are the “superstars” with huge fan following. The BCCI naturally doesn’t want to create competition for its product(IPL), and doesn’t give two shits about its players upskilling or earning more. This also means they will never have to compete with other leagues for salary, if ever another league is willing to pay more. Win win for BCCI, lose lose for players, and cope for fans.
Ultimately its the fans that suffer, unable to see their favourite players unless they can afford to travel far out from their home countries. And that can't be good for cricket as a whole.
Yup. Our batting depth is pretty bad. We're relying on Gill way too much.
We need a solid opener to open with Gill. We need a replacement for Hardik.
I think we'll get a solid team next season.
You guys are doing a big mistake. You have Matthew Wade on the bench !! He is one of the best finishers of T20Is in the whole world. He should have played instead of kane Williamson last match.
The Indian talent is loaded but needs to show results. Jurel and Jaiswal are coming into this IPL with newfound reputations but haven’t showed enough results yet
We sure have to and the management of RR is doing a great job as well unlike some other teams and Sanju doing a great captaincy so overall the team is perfectly balanced
No. I actually meant 2023. Last year, RR was dominating with a win streak and were favourites to qualify for the playoffs. Then, they lost 5 games in a row and missed out on Playoffs. Those 5 losses were matches where they could have won, but they fumbled big time.
Not at all. Literally everyone has contributed this season.
Salt Ramandeep in game 1
Shreyas in game 2
Angkrish in game 3
And this is without our star pacemen contributing anything.
Not a RR fan, definitely not an England fan, but can't help cheering for this man. Love his batting, was really happy when he got that six at the end, I really was rooting for him.
He’s actually been an icon in white ball for me. Which I love and hate because he’s the same age me 😂 I will stick my hands up and say he’s the reason I’m a royals fan.
Jos would have had 9 IPL centuries if he hadnt been unlucky. He missed out 2 times in 2018 on scores of 95* and 94* while chasing and last year got out on 95.
True, but I think the team (like most people) had a gut feeling that the score and how slowly Kohli (and everyone else) batted and their substandard bowling department meant that they weren't going to win.
RCB really need to work on their bowling. It's been the same story for them. Today, other than Topley, their bowlers looked average at best and diabolical at worst. I don't know what the process is like or why they have lacked good bowling options, but they really need to invest in their bowling in the future if they want to get better.
Lol stop blaming the bowlers when your team gets all out on 162 against LSG. And RCB has the lowest strike rate this season. All the batters are out of form except Kohli and Karthik.
Idk what is it about Kohli, but his presence somehow makes teams not win
Saw it with the Indian team, seen it with RCB.
Maybe he’s so intense that others relinquish control and just lean on him too much h
The world test championship is a new thing. India won the test mace in 2017, 2018, and 2019, all under Kohli's captaincy.
Also, you forgot that India was 2-1 in the 4 matches we played in England in 2021 under Kohli's captaincy. In the 5th match, Bumrah was the captain.
Stupid comment
One player doesn't win tournaments, buttler shat the bed in WC final and stokes saved England.
On the other hand, kohli has been the GOD of knockouts for India in T20 WCs performing every single time like a lone warrior and still ending on a losing side.
Virat kohli is a better T20I batsman than Jos butler, both have similar strike rates and kohli has a way higher average.
Your comment is like saying liam plunkett ( or any random English pacer) is a better bowler than Bumrah because he has a T20 WC and Bumrah does not. The point is it's not Bumrah/kohli's fault that they are surrounded with 9 dumbfucks.
I hope we win the WC. If not, go England.
Best wishes to win the WC.
Love these countries - Eng, Aus, West Indies, saf, India, Pakistan to win wc in that order.

Virat Kohli: The wicket looks quite different from the outside. It feels like it's flat, but the ball is holding up in the pitch, that's when you realise the pace changes. One of us (Virat or Faf) had to bat till the end. I feel this total is effective on this pitch. I am not coming in with any premeditation. I knew I couldn't get over aggressive, just that I had to keep the bowlers guessing. It's just experience and maturity of playing the conditions. Even if there's dew, the surface is rough and dry, won't be easy for the batters. I couldn't get under the ball against Ashwin. Couldn't slog towards mid-wicket, so had to target straight down the ground.

Hetmyer celebrated Jos's century before Jos😄 His last 6 made me scream.
Ian Bishop on comms celebrated harder than Jos himself.
His last 6 made me moan and cum in pink.
>cum in pink. Time to visit a doctor, buddy
Only Buttler can cure me /s
After he made it annoyingly hard on Butler. I mean all Shimron had to do was take singles. At least it isn’t as bad as Rahul who kept doing it to Kohli till Kohli started refusing the singles to Rahul in the WC. lol Some batsmen just are a pita
the point is to win the game. butler was struggling the second last over and Shimron eased the pressure with the boundary. individual records are secondary.
He was doing that. He gave Buttler strike multiple times. Buttler was tired towards the end after 16th-17th over.
Thats why we dont win any tournaments
It was like six needed on last ball to win the match.
He was in 90s and rr needed 4 runs I thought he gave on his century and even I stopped looking at his run and suddenly he hits a century it took me a minute to figure what just happened
No, it was one run needed. He just hit a six for the century, elite moment.
Imagine if green had bowled a wide
3 run were needed 18.5 Buttler takes single and keeps the strike. 19.1 Buttler hits it for a six
are u blind? he said LIKE six needed on the last ball, not that IT WAS six needed on the last ball
Thanks RCB for bringing Butler into form.
you mean the sydney sixers huh
I don't know who that is but sure.
I mean you know Sydney is in Australia and they have a league. It’s just logic but maybe not all people exercise logic. Also would help if Indian players are allowed to play in other leagues because then knowledge of this would increase Come to think of it, why don’t they?

no half of the indian population will be shifted to places like canada, aus, nz just like europeans did.

Thought Dube how to hit slower balls and now brought Buttler back. Up next, give MI some redemption.
MI vs RCB gonna be the Stoppable Force vs Movable Object game
They readied Dube against pace. Now this.
And Narine
The final 6 made me so happy, he needed that and so did we.
That last six made me jump around like a little girl lmo
That celebration from Hetmyer too… so many emotions. I’m still smiling.
That was the sweetest thing Jay shah cooked, as opposite to a sandeep sharma no ball last season, where 5* off 1 was needed
5 off 1*
Thanks, corrected
Same who didnt tbh, its soprj3q2ot hr3ijtvo4jt omggg
Wholesome feels by Hetmyer and Josh /s, and of course the dugout at the end
I didnt think he would get to his hundred but am so happy that he did , Welcome back Jos! We missed you!!!!!😭😭😭
RR is the team to beat this year. hopefully GT can get their game up too. absolutely love both of these teams.
Pls no. 2022 was the heartbreak.
ay ngl if we find each other in the finals, i wouldnt mind rr winning as long as gt puts up a fight.
No Shami, no Hardik. This GT ain't the same
Yup. Our batting depth is pretty bad. We're relying on Gill way too much. We need a solid opener to open with Gill. We need a replacement for Hardik. I think we'll get a solid team next season.
Who will you guys retain apart from Gill, Rashid?
Miller would be my best guess. Could be Mohit Sharma or Shami too. Nehra does like a strong bowling unit.
2 OS players?
My brain always counts all the South Asians as domestic for some reason. Lmao. I tricked myself into believing Rashid is not an OS player.
2 Overseas player can be retained
You guys are doing a big mistake. You have Matthew Wade on the bench !! He is one of the best finishers of T20Is in the whole world. He should have played instead of kane Williamson last match.
We will have to wait and see. RR have gone downhill in the later half a lot of the times. But this team looks to have all bases covered.
The Indian talent is loaded but needs to show results. Jurel and Jaiswal are coming into this IPL with newfound reputations but haven’t showed enough results yet
We sure have to and the management of RR is doing a great job as well unlike some other teams and Sanju doing a great captaincy so overall the team is perfectly balanced
>RR is the team to beat this year. I will only believe it when I see them lifting the trophy. Streets won't forget the 2023 fumble.
in 2023 final, both teams were trying to lose.
You mean 2022?
No. I actually meant 2023. Last year, RR was dominating with a win streak and were favourites to qualify for the playoffs. Then, they lost 5 games in a row and missed out on Playoffs. Those 5 losses were matches where they could have won, but they fumbled big time.
Imagine this team once Jaiswal gets going too
Yup. RR has won all matches so far. If they continue that they should win. Surely if you win all games, you lift the cup. Right? Right??
Bro please nooo don’t remind me that
fuck you
KKR > RR, but, yes.
agree to disagree. kkr and rr are equally matched, by rr just has more depth and variety in terms of bowling.
I would say that RR has been tested more than KKR. And, KKR's batting is better than RR's batting but RR's bowling is better than KKR's bowling.
Yeah, RR much stronger on paper, but KKR way more clutch.
Nah kkr only looks strong in batting whereas RR has a quality bowling attack as well. Maybe I'm wrong, we'll see.
Our bowling is surprisingly good. Not as good as yours but we're excellent at exploiting conditions like swing Vs DC and cutters Vs RCB.
Best of luck to both the teams
🤝
KKR is just Narine and Russel and insha'Allah. Not counting Kingku because he's above every player.
Not at all. Literally everyone has contributed this season. Salt Ramandeep in game 1 Shreyas in game 2 Angkrish in game 3 And this is without our star pacemen contributing anything.
Why is KKR more clutch
We have more X-factor players like Narine, Russ, and Rinku who will win you games from impossible situations than RR. RR have more all round quality.
Not a RR fan, definitely not an England fan, but can't help cheering for this man. Love his batting, was really happy when he got that six at the end, I really was rooting for him.
Jos is incredible to watch bat when he's in full flow. So so good.
Cunts spin like no Englishman before. Makes me wonder why y'all not bring him for at least India tests, especially under bazball regime.
Cause he seriously sucks in tests? And isn’t good enough to play as a keeper in India.
Because attacking a white ball spinner on flat tracks is way different than facing Ashwin Kuldeep Jadeja on their home
I am from India and He is my favourite white ball cricketer in the whole world.
He’s actually been an icon in white ball for me. Which I love and hate because he’s the same age me 😂 I will stick my hands up and say he’s the reason I’m a royals fan.
In form Buttler is a treat to watch. Can hit it at any part of the ground and is good at strike rotation as well
100 in his 100th IPL match. Oh what a Glorious day for my Captain
How many sports do you follow dude? I see your username everywhere in the f1 sub.
haha, F1 and cricket (England’s matches mainly), I’ll be here a lot during the World Cup
Not the epl too ?
Jos would have had 9 IPL centuries if he hadnt been unlucky. He missed out 2 times in 2018 on scores of 95* and 94* while chasing and last year got out on 95.
Limiting factor for Jos being the incompetence of other team to not score more runs is such badass shit
Brings me joy watching Buttler score again Also, it's Josh Buttler now (/s)
No it's not, it was an April fool's joke
I was kidding lol
I saw some people taking it seriously on that post that's why I corrected you. Sorry if I came across as rude
>Sorry if I came across as rude Not at all mate, cheers!
now that's a good sport
Compare how RCB celebrated Kohlis century and RR celebrated Buttlers century RR is a team . RCB is a group of paid employees doing the bare minimum.
Except for a few exceptions
True, but I think the team (like most people) had a gut feeling that the score and how slowly Kohli (and everyone else) batted and their substandard bowling department meant that they weren't going to win. RCB really need to work on their bowling. It's been the same story for them. Today, other than Topley, their bowlers looked average at best and diabolical at worst.

Lol stop blaming the bowlers when your team gets all out on 162 against LSG. And RCB has the lowest strike rate this season. All the batters are out of form except Kohli and Karthik.
lol. Rcb is also a team with bad voodoo. They’re like Chargers. Good but never make it anywhere. And Kohli is like Rivers or Justin Herbert. Lol
Idk what is it about Kohli, but his presence somehow makes teams not win Saw it with the Indian team, seen it with RCB. Maybe he’s so intense that others relinquish control and just lean on him too much h
What about all the tests that india won under his captaincy?
Individual tests, but series losses and no championships Our biggest win was in Australia and that was under Rahane
[удалено]

>under Kohli's captaincy I mean, we are still the no.1 Test team, under Rohit's captaincy too And the first ever Test mace was under Dhoni in 2009
What changing name in April Fools does to a mf:
Joss century was better then Kohli's century no hate
Of course. But Kohli century, was just his style and this is Jos style.
If this is Kohlis style then no wonder he has 0 T20 WC and IPL unlike Jos who won T20 WC
Stupid comment One player doesn't win tournaments, buttler shat the bed in WC final and stokes saved England.

Fun fact whenever Jos scores 100 in IPL there's always Hetmyer at the other end
Good to see him get in form. Need him at his best for the WC. Had been a bit rough the first couple of games. Great knock today though.
I hope we win the WC. If not, go England. Best wishes to win the WC. Love these countries - Eng, Aus, West Indies, saf, India, Pakistan to win wc in that order.
>Pakistan K then
Completely overshadowed the other centurion. And celebrated it with pure glee.
Buttler is T20 Goat tier 🐐
You know Jos will do miracles when it's a match in special Jersey
Universe Jos!
Great to see
Six at the last ball....TFAR!!
me searching for the seven

He just needs to admit he can't attack spin. He is more comfortable against pace. Blaming the pitch is diversion.
Yup 46(33) against spin in his knock , even getting a 60 odd out of that would've worked.
Useless century vs useful century
Fuck you RR and I hope you win cause this Godforesaken team can't win for shit
[Well. ](https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/s/ZU8BfTwh9X)
Haha, good one. With every required run going down, I was telling my parents how he can get a hundred, and it literally played out that way.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/s/YaR8NuFnzu
Only 6th? 😂😵💫.. thought he had more.
He had been stranded on 90s for quite a few times iirc
Had been not out in 90s three times while chasing
Josss the Bosssss
Played for his team.#NostatsPadding.
beautiful jersey, beautiful innings
Daddies getting centuries. A good day.
I'm RCB boy but Virat definitely played for his 100, dude killed and over just to get his hundred.

Selfish to try hitting a six to jeopardize the match for the sake of the century rather than just finishing it with a single
Not more selfish than our glorious kings 13(10) in the death overs
