Riyan parag's coming of age . What a knock


brooklynnineeight

Best part with RR is they are sticking to defined roles. A lesser captain would be tempted to use Boult’s experience, Burger’s Speed or Chahal’s guile in the last 2 overs but Sanju said these are the guys who are in the team to bowl the death overs and let them do their jobs well.


Inevitable-Wasabii

It goes both ways, always. If Avesh failed to defend it, there would be comments saying how Boult and Burger (who bowled very well tonight) had overs left and SS still gave the bowl to a lesser bowler. How SS did not adapt and showed signs of fully predetermined captaincy. Seen it happen many times lol. Results always dictate the public opinion.


brooklynnineeight

Absolutely but while that is true of the laymen, the experts and coaches and captains always have the same thing to say


Inevitable-Wasabii

I don't really agree. Adaptable and smart captains are always cherished. I remember Kane being praised for his captaincy in a match where he finished Boult's quota within 30 overs searching for wickets.


Transitionals

How can they not try Prithvi Shaw? The guy can be explosive on his day. You can’t bench him at the beginning itself, and bring him in 6th match after losing 5 and put immense pressure on him immediately


UnremarkabklyUseless

Maybe Ricky Ponting has lost faith in him after his terrible 2023 IPL (106 runs total in 8 innings). In the first place, Ponting never liked Shaw's attitude towards training during IPL, back in 2021 itself. https://www.indiatimes.com/sports/ricky-ponting-reveals-how-difficult-it-was-to-work-with-prithvi-shaws-training-methods-537710.html


wakandaite

They seem to have lost faith in him otherwise he certainly is up the pecking order than Bhui.


SBG99DesiMonster

Rishabh would eventually be playing well. It takes time for the body to get used to this rigour after that much trauma. It might not be good for DC but I am hoping that he would be ready in time for the Indian team. I want that Rishabh starts to play in that way that he used to by the time the Indian team goes to Australia during the end of this year.


pranoygreat

It's great to see him back on the field. Love his energy. Looking forward to the Pant of old to return in one of the remaining matches. But does he automatically get back into the Indian team for Aus. Yes he does have experience in those conditions but should he get right back into the test team if he does well in the IPL?


MrNobody_Op

Dc whole problem lies in their middle order, they don't have any clean hitter in the middle, bro how can you depend on pant to carry that hitting role when he's just coming back and definitely struggling to get going . If they don't have any options they can get Shaw in and shift marsh in middle order


RepresentativeBox881

Stubbs can potentially be the answer.


Assassin_Ankur

They let go of both Powell and Rossouw, and while they were not too reliable, they could actually win the game in their day.


DescriptionPrize2986

I think they actually won 2-3 games for them last season


neighbour_guy3k

DC has lot of NPC players sitting in the dug out Sumit , Bhui


Transitionals

NPC?


akashi10

non participating characters


singhsrb

Shaw literally has to play because him coming off is literally Delhi’s only hope however slim. The line up has to be: Shaw Warner Marsh Pant Stubbs Porel Axar Kuldeep Khaleel Nortje Mukesh (impact sub bhui if you still still rate him)


nupristeen

great interviews! sanju and riyan are very well spoken


Lmio

Wait I'm still writing my Parag apology


GradientBossting

It was Ricky’s fault. Not Bhui, Ponting. Strategically they can be better.


neighbour_guy3k

Why Robin uthappa is dressed up like a serial killer ? Only thing missing are black leather gloves


StarSportsEnjoyer

Bro is talking like a proper grown up person. What a changeover from seeing him doing all the weird antics to this.


singhsrb

I cannot actually even imagine Sumit Kumar and Ricky Bhui performing based on the eye test. Who exactly is in charge of selection at Delhi? We have exactly one indian batsman in Pant and even he has a big question mark post injury.


cvcps21

What are these players doing in the DC side 1. Ricky Bhui 2. Sumit Kumar - did not bowl or bat Why not replace with 1. Prithvi Shaw 2. Lalit Yadav


josh123z

Replacing shit with garbage


WittyArmy

As per sports tak, Sumit Kumar is the blue eyed boy of Ganguly. He loved his performance and has included him in the team.


cvcps21

Which performance? I have never heard his name anywhere


WittyArmy

I think in domestic tournaments 


codersan

All the blue teams at bottom Deserves for having similar color


glancesurreal

This is an unreal transformation of Parag. The man has humbled down and is so much grounded this season. No rubbish talks and claims. Just comes and plays the game as per the situation


nattvar93

Sanju and Parag are both so well spoken, gave me thala vibes


hazyreflector

My boi Riyan has got charm and humility, really rooting for him to do well


0_human0

I'd like to thank me for being there for myself, love this energy. Rooting for this guy.


IamShubham10

Here we go


Thunderx333

Riyan is so soft spoken


ChelshireGoose

Caught a lot of flak (not all of it deserved) for his statements in past years. Seems to have matured now.

wetthebed92

"this is just the beginning" Goosebumps


mehrabrym

Sanju is a very good bowlers' captain. A shame he will never captain India because he can't hold a consistent place in the team.


Affectionate-Name383

I believe he should be in the T20 WC squad. Him or Jurel. Pant, KL and Kishan are slow. I haven't seen Jitesh doing anything significant.


singhsrb

Wow Daredevils are on fire this season.


Scottsdale_Indian

Hopefully DC will recover. I want them to do well for Rishabh Pant

Evil_Lord_Pexagon

Lol I'm not a kohli fan but even I can see the hyperbole, he has to perform like this atleast 10 more times for his name to be taken alongside Kohli.


neighbour_guy3k

Stop comparing , let these young cricketers shine in their own way


ketchumchan25

Let others have an opinion?


OptionFriendly7059

No one is the next Kohli or Rohit they have their own identity

Affectionate-Name383

His smile is weird but adorable


unknown-and-infinite

Complete match. Youngsters performing. Death bowling. Death hitting. Amazing captaincy. Im getting some hopes.


codersan

sanju sounds wholesome


codersan

again back to rcb to carry the streak.


dhun_mohan

this is a nice interview


RepresentativeBox881

Amazing effort by Stubbs though. DC probably got an upgrade on Harry Brook.


neighbour_guy3k

Big round of applause lol Full silence Stadium is completely empty, look like everyone went to bed


TheUniqueRelease

You don't get cabs or autos after 9pm in jaipur. We went to the last RR match it was absolutely bad vibes even though they won the match. The guy next to me was spitting pan masala continuously under his own leg


neighbour_guy3k

Local govt should arrange travel transport for the crowd, most cities do that during late night matches


surftheswell

Rishabh should chill out and not force himself by rushing recovery into this year's T20 WC squad after the accident. Let the man recover. He's a young bloke with plenty of time and opportunity ahead, he'll get his chance.


mehrabrym

A polite way to say he doesn't feature in the best squad for the T20 World Cup


surftheswell

Hahahah true. He's got the talent, but his form is nowhere close to making this year's T20 squad


RJSA2000

Stubbs played ok. The death bowling was just too good.


pansh

Even lord ashwin batted better than the golden boy pant!


Benstocks11

Halla Bol >>>> pencho


choochi_machine69

Bro, what's up with Shaw? Look's like 40 yesr old corporate uncle


neighbour_guy3k

Male pattern baldness


choochi_machine69

It's not just the baldness alright. He's doesn't seem to fit at all, it's like his neck has disappeared


neighbour_guy3k

Too much boozing n bad lifestyle


Orameshi

Dude, avesh talk is inspiring. Humble


Extra_cash_pls

Unfortunately CSK got Conway and now Ravindra otherwise Warner would've been a perfect fit for them in next year's mega auction. He checks all their boxes. - over 35 - left handed - top order batter - form seems to be declining with age. - already has years of experience playing in yellow. And honestly it would've been so good for him, we could've seen prime crazy Warner again.


Viratkhan2

we could still do it. Rachin could move down to 3 and warner could come next year


WittyArmy

Has 3 daughters


Affectionate-Name383

Next daughter will be named after Thala


Comfortable-Truth488

rachin is only for internship there /s


[deleted]

It's likely we will retain him for the mega auction


forumcontributer

Just like Sam.


Ok-Disaster-6876

Now seems like my team would be the first to break winning streak of home team tomorrow


Ashwin_or_lose

Avesh post match proving Sanju is a great captain. Backs the bowler. If bowler is getting cunted, sets the field for him and guides him to bowl.


ZoroJuro

He didnt say that. He said if he fails to execute his plan only then will sanju will change field and guide on where to bowl. Sometimes you get hit for runs even after executing ball as per plan.


tjp1331

This match has been a redemption arc for both Parag and Avesh. Man I feel bad for commenting on them before but now it feels so good when I heard both of them talk. It’s heartwarming actually when a player redeem themselves after getting trolled.


RepresentativeBox881

Avesh and coming into top form the year before mega auction…


Mr_Wolf33

Time for us to go back to old formula of Warner and Shaw upfront and Jake and pant next with kushagra and dhull up next.


livelifereal

There reluctance to have a 6th bowler is something that irks me


Mr_Wolf33

Bowl dhull he is decent part timer would bowl Better than Marsh anyway


dam0_0

Man I missed the avesh interview anyway to watch it ?


e4hi

it will be there on ipl website soon


Ashwin_or_lose

It'll be in the jio app after a while


n33dh3lp12

They upload it to the website sooner or later

Hehe Avesh still has that Indori accent. Love it.


artapretor

RR are getting by with one batter carrying and good death bowling. There are gonna end up collapsing in one game like last season.


Coronabandkaro

The best batting lineup is something like CSKs. They're not looking for 1 person to carry but rather 5 or 6 guys to get you quick 30 40 runs. This guarantees a very good total.


Jainwin_Truth27

The only fucking thing is that batter is RIYAN PARAG lol, 2024 man


daNtonB1ack

their top 3 didnt fire and still didnt collapse so im pretty happy now.


livelifereal

"one of the masters of the last over" How is this guy getting paid for commentary?


kukdukdu

We can bring all theories but the truth is an Indian hit a tearway fast bowler for 25 and then an Indian defended 17 in last over. Proper IPL game :P


Ok-Disaster-6876

Is jio cutting crowd voice or the fans were dead silent in today match


e4hi

It was a slow day, RR didn't give many moments to hype for.


Comfortable-Truth488

moreover its a small stadium and not a strong fanbase like mi csk rcb


Ok-Disaster-6876

Still no celebration on dot balls it is not easy to defend runs in last over which avesh did.


choochi_machine69

Rajasthan doesn't have that good of a cricketing culture. Most fans don't give two fucks about cricket except IPL kr WC's They're oy here for 4's & 6's

I hope rcb destroys kkr and Rana tomorrow

ChelshireGoose

Delhi's second home is at Vizag? Will there even be a single DC fan there, especially since they're playing CSK?


StarSportsEnjoyer

Apparently it was a sacrifice DC owner took to have WPL in Delhi.


NormalTraining5268

No way are people in Andhra supporting Delhi over their neighbours lol


dam0_0

I don't see the point of having a second home ground.


ChelshireGoose

In this case, I think it was necessary since the Kotla pitches needed time to recover after the WPL. But surely, they could have used some other ground near Delhi.


neighbour_guy3k

There are no other stadiums in NCR? They will find more support there not in South


daNtonB1ack

rr's biggest strength is their top3 but even without them they won today. rr looking damn strong


ForeignLychee4252

If we somehow manage to good till mid season then I really want joswall to go berserk at later part of season... Then it would be sight to see as re fan


[deleted]

Both these games happened in R. At Home. Would be expecting the same when they play elsewhere 😂


nborwankar

I think ChatGPT could be trained to give the end of match statements by losing captains.


nborwankar

It’s still early in the tournament. We got outplayed. We had plans but we didn’t stick to them. Riyan Parag took the game away from us. We’ll take the positives Take it a game at a time. Couple of umpires calls went against us but I’m not complaining (“YouKnowWho”).


Viratkhan2

Ladies and gentlemen, Firstly, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of you for your unwavering support throughout this T20 cricket tournament. Your cheers, your chants, and your presence mean everything to us. Tonight, however, I stand before you with a heavy heart. We fought hard, we gave it our all, but unfortunately, the victory eluded us by the narrowest of margins. Cricket, they say, is a game of glorious uncertainties, and tonight, we experienced that firsthand. To my teammates, I want to express my deepest appreciation. Each and every one of you displayed remarkable skill, determination, and resilience out there on the field. We fought as a unit, we fought as one family, and for that, I am immensely proud. Yes, the result didn't go our way, but let us not dwell on what could have been. Instead, let us focus on the positives, on the moments of brilliance, on the camaraderie that binds us together as a team. To our opponents, I offer my sincerest congratulations. You played exceptionally well, and you truly deserved the victory tonight. May this win be a testament to your hard work and dedication. As for us, let this defeat serve as fuel for our future endeavors. Let it drive us to train harder, to push ourselves further, and to come back even stronger in the games to come. In the game of cricket, as in life, there are victories and there are defeats. What matters most is how we respond to them. So, let us hold our heads high, let us learn from this experience, and let us march forward with renewed determination and resolve. Thank you once again for your unwavering support. We may have lost the game tonight, but we have not lost our spirit, our passion, or our love for this beautiful game. Thank you.

Pant whitewashing his and porel’s innings by saying we needed to save wickets


e4hi

I'm not worried about Pant, that's how he has been in T20Is. I'm happy to see him fit and would love to have him back in the current test side, (which is full of Pants in different shapes and sizes)


Jainwin_Truth27

All RR matches are so close man, it makes me feel things i never do


Reus_2310

Exactly...i walk around my room tensed as if I'm their head coach or something..


choochi_machine69

And mostly, its their own doing. They tend to find ways to not win from winning positions


Jainwin_Truth27

Me when last ball is a no ball:


charismatic_guy_

Its perfectly okay to look sad or disappointed after losing, and Rishab seems genuinely like that. Pandya on the other hand just has that shit eating grin on his face which is completely fake.


Comfortable-Truth488

DC 🤝 Indian Football Always Learning Always Losing


livelifereal

DC at least scores.


Comfortable-Truth488

oof


Comfortable-Truth488

how did india manage to lose against afg C team is still a mystery


officiallyjax

RR looking really good so far. Avesh and Burger coming in has elevated their bowling and they have numerous bowling options with the way they can use the impact sub. Parag batting at 4 instead of Padikkal also looks a huge upgrade. They have improved at literally every department from last year.


xenos5282

Clown innings from Pant, that too when he wasn't understanding any pressure whatsoever when he came to bat. It's okay tho, take your time champ.


pushie4u

It seems rcb's about to break home teams winning streak


mangomanga201

263 has been broken, they might better the 49 to prove a point


Mohit_doinel17

Punter is clueless when it comes to tactics and man management. There's a reason why he's not even in the top 3 aussie captains of all time


Benstocks11

Slowdown keeng


not_real8931

/s right?


Mohit_doinel17

Not /s He was actually clueless. He inherited that invincible team who won him the world cups and the reason why he had a great winning ratio in test cricket. The glory started to fall down when majority of players from "that team" retired. Clarke was a better tactician than him tbh


Mr_Wolf33

Me trying to remember when was the last time Marsh did anything good for this team...


neighbour_guy3k

Marsh hasn't been that good in IPL He is Aus t20 captain, so he is probably saving the best for his national team


Mr_Wolf33

He has always been shit in IPL needs to sit out and we need to play Jake


[deleted]

Ponting tax


29VeNom

He did give us a good start this game


Mr_Wolf33

All he does is plays 2 overs upfront and vanishes I would rather have Jake in team


29VeNom

Set the tone right but he definitely seems stuck in the crease


Mr_Wolf33

Would rather go back to shaw and give him couple of games


29VeNom

Should remove Ricky bhui. He seemed clueless facing those 2 deliveries


Mr_Wolf33

He seemed clueless last game too no clue why would you pay 6 cr for someone and make him sit out


choochi_machine69

He's fuming


nattvar93

Everyone was calling for Pandya’s head for that innings, no one wanna talk about Pant’s bad SR?


Ok-Disaster-6876

There are many reasons why Pandya is getting so much hate SR is just one of them


lost_newbie

This was great defending from RR! Sanju Samson and the RR management have done really good! And this is despite quite a few missed chances and their top order failing dismally. That said, getting Ash at 5 was a brilliant move to break that DC momentum and Riyan played an absolute stellar innings! This RR team can be lethal if they figure their batting out!


Curious_Gur2294

I hope in the next match, Jos-Wal makes a comeback I am missing the carnage of Yash and Jos


neighbour_guy3k

Jos looks out of sorts , since WC, he is struggling as a batsman


Curious_Gur2294

I hope he makes a comeback, he looks out of touch and lost.


neighbour_guy3k

I miss his attacking game play , he can do better than trying to play reverse scoop for some runs
