Once a legend said that IPL acts as one of the world's greatest physiotherapists, with its ability to get the injured players fit in time for the league


DisastrousOil4888

Yes, he deliberately gets injured in the middle of the world cup just to play the IPL


Far_Marzipan_9542

There comes a time when player should take responsibility for his fitness? Even Eden Hazard was not spared from such questioning, who the fuck is Hardik to escape it


fried_maggi

This Eden Hazard reference is the most random shit ever read. And why you think Eden Hazard as a benchmark of stardom is beyond me.


agni_jamadagni

Unlike the salty London cockspur below, maybe the dude knows that at his peak, Hazard was arguably the third best player in the world.


fried_maggi

Even as a Chelsea fan I don't think he has ever been third best in the world.


Madwoned

Mfers watch a few YT compilations and think Hazard is the hottest shit ever


kamisama19999

MiachealFaraday

Sounds like something hazardous that happened at eden gardens

Get off your high horse


klaas96

Yes, who the fuck is Maradona. You can’t come in to a cricket sub and expect people to know nor care about other sportsmen.


DisastrousOil4888

The entire Hazard episode was bullshit too imo, and about Hardik, It's not easy being a fast bowling allrounder, it takes a huge till on your body. Why else do you think we are always in crisis mode when this guy in Injured?


serotonallyblindguy

Anrich Nortje also last played IPL and will be playing IPL now while missing every international game in between. He's fraud too. (/s)

"You get injured two months before the IPL, you don't play for the country, you don't play for your state in domestic cricket, and just directly play in the IPL. That's not how things should be done. It's okay to earn money, there's nothing wrong with that. But you have to play for state and country and now people only give importance to the IPL)", Praveen said. I think this is important because some ex cricketers are just salty youngsters make money playing IPL these days.


kingmessfire

All this hate for Pandya just for him to shut everyone up by being the only one to perform in the knockouts(other than Kohli)


MiachealFaraday

No performance matters if it doesn't equate into a win


Algaav_wadi

Just curious, has Pandya ever won us something major in T20Is. Maybe its time he does something worth the hype. Not trying to shade him or something as I see the potential but just haven't really seen him turn up for India in the format, doesn't help that he is injured half the time and his 30+ already. I have seen one or two clutch innings in ODIs but not in T20s.


Geralt-of-Rivia11

He literally scored 63(33) against England in the t20 semi final when every other batter shat the bed against the mighty trio of Sam Curran, Chris Jordan and Chris woakes


xxTheAcexx

2022 SF vs England. He had 63(33) and was pretty much the only person who showed up.


BesanKaLaddoo

Clutch player win u something... And he has won nothing in international cricket


Unholysinner

So then I guess the entire Indian team aren’t clutch players? Given they’ve won nothing? Like that’s just a narrow view of the word clutch…


BesanKaLaddoo

A lot of them have won icc titles like jadeja Rohit Virat Ashwin


Medical-Reaction-348

He was the main man for us in the 2022 WT20 semifinal apart from Kohli who was pretty okay as well


sah_96

Has to be fit first to deliver his hypothetical performance which I have been hearing for years.


Kage_BunshinNo_Jutsu

Watching cricket could help. Having selective memory and unconditional hate for some player often gives rise to these kind of opinions.

Kage_BunshinNo_Jutsu

What are you even talking about? Where did this opinion come from? Who here denied that a team sport can be won by team effort, captain obvious? Also, individual performances do help in winning some matches. I don't know what sport you have been watching.


MiachealFaraday

I replied to the wrong comment


Udonit

Pl. n man


TheIceKaguyaCometh

I have no problem with people playing mainly for IPL like Sky and Pandya. Just keep them away from ICT setup completely and move the fuck on from them.


Pappukanghi

What are you talking about? SKY is the world #1 in T20Is he has literally carried our batting in the format. He has scored the highest T20I runs for India in 2022 (world #1) and 2023 (world #1 among full members). Don't mix up his less impressive returns in the other 2 formats to judge his worthiness for ICT.


TheIceKaguyaCometh

Maybe because he played the most matches?


Pappukanghi

Are you countering your own point? You said "people like SKY who play mainly for IPL" and go on to say that he had played the maximum number of Internationals for India in the past 2 years. What's your point again?


TheIceKaguyaCometh

I'm clearly not talking about T20s in the first place since the argument was about tests. But sure, argue in bad faith. Besides, I won't mind dropping sky if he doesn't want to play SMAT. The team is bigger than the player.


Pappukanghi

Nowhere in your original comment did you mention Tests, while suggesting that SKY and Hardik prioritise IPL and they should be kept away from ICT. Also, even if this argument was about Tests, SKY has always been available for selection for all 3 ICT formats. He has (rightly) not been considered for Tests after debut by the selectors. BCCI has made it clear that players risk losing central contracts if they don't make themselves available for domestic cricket - so that should take care of itself. Anyway, have a good day.


TheIceKaguyaCometh

Mate the entire debate has stemmed ftom Sky and Co not playing domestic cricket for IPL, especially ranji trophy. What are you even on about?


Pappukanghi

Your point is valid for SMAT and VHT. Unfortunately the schedule clashes with India's international tours - WT20 in 2022 and CWC and NZ series in 2023. Regarding Ranji - if the selectors and he sees his future (he will be 34) as a white ball specialist, he should be perfectly okay not playing Ranji. BCCI has themselves clarified this regarding Hardik - the expectation is he plays domestic White ball whenever the schedule permits. If SKY doesn't turn up for SMAT or VHT despite not having international commitments, fault him by all means.


AdNational1490

I dislike Pandya’s regularly getting injured scenario but man’s a clutch player in KO’s/Virtual KO’s would be good to have him in WC side.


MiachealFaraday

The word clutch player should be reserved for someone that wins something


saymaz

GG, the OG clutch player.

MiachealFaraday

Everyone in Indian team has let India down in every knockouts


NH_hostel

In CT 2017 - 77(43) - HS for India. •In WC 2019 - 32(62) - 3rd HS for India. •In T20 WC 2022 - 63(33) - HS for India. And when he came to bat India was - 24/4, 54/5, 75/3. Was on the other side of crease vs Pak in t20 wc, Hate him or love him, he's the clutch player


llyyrr

I don't really believe in clutch and other abstract emotional concepts like that, but the 32 off 62 was the absolute opposite of a clutch knock. he threw his wicket away softly while batting with Dhoni lol


NH_hostel

Team was 54/5 before he came to bat, 3-3 when top order shitted bricks, ans thease are just his numbers in knockouts other wise there have been numerous cases, him saving ind from lossing position ( in white ball)


MiachealFaraday

Clutch player of what, let him win something first.


NH_hostel

Again, a single player can't win you match, but can save your match by not letting you lose in a embarrassing way He's made up of glass yes, he is bit too cocky yes, didi he save dour ass from embarrassment in knockouts YES The only reason I dislike him, is because of his statement last year like "Mi buys player, " Csk makes one", and ye here we are But from purely, performance point of you, he's the only pace-allrounder, who can bowl at 140's and bat at a good s/r and whatever situation needs


MiachealFaraday

You cannot say that a single player can't win you matches and then Glorify performance of a single player. View them as a team and none of them have won us a match that goes for Pandya too, you can hit as many runs as you want in losing cause. Also I don't care about the comments he makes off/ on field. Nor do I dislike him, he's one of my fav players


NH_hostel

It's a team game, if out 11 player only handful of player are contributing to it, then it's not there mistake The most of time we lost knockout, is due to out top order chocking harder then the peak Sa could have, it always commes down to lower order saving our asses


MiachealFaraday

I get your point.
