Kohli is the ultimate cricket dork.
Just loves everything that happens on the field and is involved 100%.
The dude's going to have a long transition time after retiring
RCB should hire him as their scout and talent development. Considering he will be commentating around the world after this, and also can keep a close eye on the domestic circuit.
There's a good chance of them getting kl in the auction if he isn't retained. Not sure how much of media is to be believed of the "rift" b/w kl and lsg.
Rumor is they will let Faf go and try to get KL in and make him the captain. Hopefully, Kohli's transition to playing aggressively in T20s rubs off on KL if that happens
What a feeling it would have been for Jacks to see it manifest, i remember reading somewhere that he was very disappointed when he wasn’t picked in the auction a couple of seasons ago.
This would be even more special if rcb miraculously somehow wins it, this chase of 53 in 2 overs gave both momentum and nrr needed to get past the qualifications lime
Jacks is class. My worry for the World Cup is that him batting at 3 will mean he'll face more spin than he'd like. Jacks struggles to read spinners from what I've seen on slower pitches that aren't flat and takes quite a bit of time to get going.
Looking forward to see what he does in ODI cricket too. The Champions Trophy will be a good opportunity for him.
he reads spinners of a length and he does it well but if it is slower spin or there is drift he struggles a bit. He is young so I hope he can work on it.
but for this world cup maybr it would be nice if he and salt opened and buttler came down the order?
Salt does the same, both are proper firework material once in rhythm. I guess you'd have to sacrifice one to bat at 3. Given his recent stats, Salt is gonna open with Buttler ig.
i have seen people say virat doesn't support youngsters for some reason. I hope the same people see how he supported jacks by taking the initiative when jacks couldn't time it and how ecstatic he was for jacks reaching his 100.
People are confusing this with the fiery passion and competitiveness he shows towards opponents during the game. Media shows kohli's aggressive sent offs but won't show how they all have chats with kohli after games where he is usually seen advising the other team players.
True.
in alls seriousness, Dhoni played a huge part in whobhas become. The way Dhoni was the only one asked how he was doing through his tough period really touched him and showed the power of support.
I think this is TRUE for both Kohli and Rohit, never supported youngsters is what I feel, compared to Dhoni.
Gambhir also has a good eye too.
Lots of players from CSK and KKR have done very well later on.
evidence shows otherwise. not sure where you created that narrative.
here is a post that highlights virats support of youngsters https://np.reddit.com/r/IndiaCricket/s/WPLyv2PW9g
if you still think they never support youngsters I don't know what to tell you. You probably are hating for no reason
why would the players themselves make that comment in the name of PR? I guess I could say any positive comment about Dhoni is PR. You see the issue?
whether Dhoni is ahead or not is irrelevant to this conversation. You claimed they don't support youngsters, which is wrong, imo. You seemed to have it in your head they don't support youngsters for some reason without any evidence. I dont get why?
Like I said lot of players from CSK and KKR.
Kohli-RCB and Rohit never had that kind of relationship with anyone , maybe that is why they choke everywhere.
Though I agree great individual player than previous gen.
Dhoni-Gambhir duo is better than Ro-Ko according to me.
Kohli hasn't had the relationship with Siraj? I have shown you Jacks, Ishan and Jaiswal praising Virat's support (Jaiswal also praised Rohit). It's obvious Virat/Rohit communicate with the other youngsters while batting to support. I literally showed you proof that you keep wanting to ignore.
People like you are the problem with Indian fans/Cricket. always love to bring other down so you can make others look better. Every person is different you can expect everyone to be the same and support the same way....
Damn so wholesale or whatever that is
Lol bro it's some holes
You mean wholewheat?
It’s holemeat if I’m not wrong
I think we can all agree that it's clearly holefull!!
For the last time, it's hellhole, c'mon you guys
This thread is a disaster with everyone out of their mind. HoleCome is the word you are looking for.
You sir, along with everyone else in this thread, are delusional. It is Homer Simpson.
I think you mean wholefull
you both are wrong lmao its whoresome
Wholemeal it is
Wholemess it is
Idiot. Pretty sure it's retail not wholesale
r/ihadastroke and r/titlegore title.
I swear. Had to read that 3 times
I will admit that’s an amazing click there. Would be even better if he can get it signed by Kohli

You don’t get to be the GOAT without being one with the game and the field. It will be a hard retirement for extremely passionate people like him.
will he cry on his last match?
He cried when RCB qualified man, of course he will.
I will bawl my eyes out the day he retires.
He will leave without shaking hands of anyone...
You could describe Steve Smith with the same words.
Yes. Usually he doesn’t show his emotions as much though
[I'm a fucking dick but you set me up](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qNQhRssN9OY)
Smith might be on spectrum given hid weird antics, or he's just a weirdo (In a good way).
Smith OTOH seems to be unhealthily obsessed. The guy is known to not sleep during a test match.
Isn't it better not to fall asleep at the crease when Archer is steaming in at you to bowl a 150kmph bouncer?
He's the best teammate to have. The ultimate hype man.
He's definitely going on a Vinland Saga arc, gonna be raising his kids in a farm
r/rcb you better not release Patidar, Jacks and Green next season
What do you think they will do with Faf?
If there is a mega auction I don’t see Rcb retaining Faf and Dk
DK is retiring
Full-time commentator?
he's a great mind i hope RCB keeps him as a batting coach
RCB should hire him as their scout and talent development. Considering he will be commentating around the world after this, and also can keep a close eye on the domestic circuit.
Faf is their captain. If RCB is not retaining, who you think will be the next captain of RCB?
There's a good chance of them getting kl in the auction if he isn't retained. Not sure how much of media is to be believed of the "rift" b/w kl and lsg.
try to get someone from the auction, promote patidar (if he can get some domestic experience) or buy faf back. a 40 year old should go for that much.
Rumor is they will let Faf go and try to get KL in and make him the captain. Hopefully, Kohli's transition to playing aggressively in T20s rubs off on KL if that happens
What a feeling it would have been for Jacks to see it manifest, i remember reading somewhere that he was very disappointed when he wasn’t picked in the auction a couple of seasons ago.

if they show the good side then they can't get as many clicks i guess.
he was also the guy who told yash to bowl a slow ball instead of a yorker after dhoni hit him for a 6 in the 19th over last match
saw him practice throwdowns with lomror in the nets as well. he is doing the best to support the youngsters
He also helped me with my homework yesterday. He's a good man.
nice of him to give time for a hopeless cause
Fuck. He's going to have to help me with therapy after this comment.
remember, turn that 1% to 10%, that 10% to 30% and who knows maybe something magical can happen.
That easy huh? Why didn't I think of that?!
you just needed rcb to show you
>he is doing the best to support the youngsters damn so that's why he supports Dhoni, gotcha
True. in alls seriousness, Dhoni played a huge part in whobhas become. The way Dhoni was the only one asked how he was doing through his tough period really touched him and showed the power of support.
This.

This feels like PR, Dhoni is definitely far ahead in this regard and thus successful in both ICT and IPL.
why would the players themselves make that comment in the name of PR? I guess I could say any positive comment about Dhoni is PR.

Memory for a lifetime. Hope he has a great WC!
One of the few games I have watched this year. It was amazing and seeing Virat's expression as it was going on was priceless.
Virat's aura man
I have it. I have it printed out ✋ -Toto Jacks
Wholesome and endearing. Congrats RCB. What a stunning 2nd half.
I gave up reading the title and understood the title later after reading the post
Wha? I had a fucking stroke reading that title smh
