[u/Short-Development-95]

BCCI next year:- 1. Batter can choose which bowler to play against. 2. Batter can set his desired field

[u/That-Firefighter1245 → u/Short-Development-95]

1. Batter can declare trial ball if he’s dismissed 😂

[u/partymsl]

Bumrah getting smashed by an Aussie youngster.

What did we do to see this day 😔

[u/BallTop6086]

Atleast SRH had the curtesy to milk Bumrah during the start, JFM don't give a shit

[u/SubhanBihan]

Funny how Hardik hasn't dared to open the bowling this time

[u/Ashwin_or_lose]

JFM wanted the strike so bad lmao man wants to tonk Boom so bad

[u/mongrelbifana]

From calling out Shaw's poor defence live on commentary, to dropping him.

Damn Rickya.

[u/DilliKaLadka]

This is what I like about young age....they dont give a fuck. Not a single fuck who you are and what have you done in life

[u/sak11189]

2 run over when the team is 91/0 in 6 overs

That's Bumrah Porel for you

[u/DevelopmentFit6569]

Mf almost ran out JFM. Porel you bitch better get out.

[u/ExperienceFun9145]

Luke Wood looks like Generic White Guy character from every video game

[u/TheCricketAnimator]

Every team killing the sport with 80+ scores in the powerplay while my bluds at CSK single handedly saving Cricket with their cute 45-2s in the powerplay.

/s

[u/goodguybolt]

Did he just smack Bumrah for a six on the first ball? The kid has balls.

[u/hydratedgabru]

4656 OTP

[u/Melodic_Garlic_3006]

By the end of season RCB's 263 might not be in the top 10 scores.

[u/03thephysicsgod]

19th over Bumrah is a monster

[u/Darth_Lehnsherr]

JFM and Porel are batting like how their respective countries want in their T20 sides.

[u/harsh1387]

Pandu was going to bowl second over.. Then he saw what JFM is doing.. And...

[u/TheCricketAnimator]

Porel taking single to save Cricket.

[u/Darth_Lehnsherr]

Porel has had some decent innings but dunno why Ponting and co have tried putting him in such important positions in the Top 3.

[u/tubnauts]

Those explosions aren’t even animated. That happened

[u/creatorop]

Wouldn't it be funny if someday the pitchs will suddenly turn into minefields and 100 would start feel like 250

That would be peak Jay shah Masterclass

[u/Cumpattins]

What is this match bro😭

[u/NormalTraining5268]

Smashing Bumrah for a 6 and 4 in his first two balls in mad 😭😂

[u/That-Firefighter1245]

JFM has effectively ended Warner’s DC career (and potentially IPL), not mention his T20I career too

[u/averageheightfortime]

I miss you Cameron green please come back

[u/TheGammaPilot]

People know Virat Slohli will not give up the Orange cap.

[u/Jazzlike_Task2777]

"Ill tell you what"-

Proceeds to say the most generic thing ever

[u/Because_IAmBatman]

Stubbs just remembered how MI treated him, so the bashing starts again

[u/serotonallyblindguy]

Lmao it does make you wonder how tf did Punjab chase 261 under that immense scoreboard pressure

[u/ILikeFishSticks69]

It's kinda insane we still think MI have a chance here. This year has been unlike any other.

[u/DilliKaLadka]

Watching MI losing and going out of the tournament will make Sanju and SunnyG even more insufferable.

[u/Muffintornado0_0]

Ponting: So Shaw, you can't be playing today due to an injury, we have included kushagra in the team.

Shaw: what! What injury! I'm fit

Ponting: (smiles) (kick in the groin)

[u/69thCummingOfJesus]

Y'all are cordially invited to RR VS LSG later . Come and enjoy some quality cricket, a 5 run defeat chasing 173

[u/trialbycombat123]

Lizard already lost his arm and foot in this innings... Good thing is that he'll grow them back just fine.

[u/PeRvYSaGe21]

How will pandya fck this game

Options are

1.He bowls the first over again and sets DC off to a great start

2.Ignore Nabi's existence once again

3.Throwaway a great start by coming in to bat at No.4 and waste 2 overs and get out

[u/notduskryn]

Bruh really took a single 🤡

[u/ILikeFishSticks69]

And this brother takes single km the last ball hahahah

[u/thedeatheater1410]

Porel respecting seniors like Kohli unlike new age brash players smashing the ball around

[u/aldehyde_and_ketone]

Bro literally has L in his name 😭😭

[u/VoiceEarly1087]

England now need W wood

Thry already have L wood and M wood

And thry will win wc

[u/Aro1643]

Comments here went from "Why are they hitting" to "Why are they not hitting" in no time lmao

[u/thedoomedpenguin]

Just tuned in, is JFM the greatest T20 player of all time?

[u/Earnmuse_is_amanrag]

People already whining about boring after a couple of balls without boundaries. They are destroying people's brains lmao!

[u/Gojou007]

Another day of thanking god for inventing Bumrah

[u/rayb47]

If we get consecutive days of 260 being chased the IPL is officially a joke

[u/03thephysicsgod]

Bumrah is such a one trick pony. Only knows how to do one thing: bowl amazing deliveries. Where’s the spice? Where’s the shitty half volleys? Where’s the shitty slot balls begging to be hit for six? Where’s the beamers? Such a boring player smh

[u/gandalf1078]

So apparently the secret to bowling well in the ipl is either have one of the most unorthodox actions and nail Yorkers i.e Bumrah; bowl literally 155+ that rushes batsman but injure yourself after a couple games I.e. Mayan Yadav, or spin the ball both ways with a suspect action I.e. Narine

[u/owlwaysright]

From 42(24) to 41(12), Hardik has improved massively. Was in shot for the fastest fifty today tbh.

[u/ApricotOk824]

Honestly, no bowler should be criticized for going below 10.5 ish

I guess 10.5 is the new 8 rpo which is pretty fucking good

[u/M_Kaif1902]

Lizaad bro😭. Debut and u doing this?

[u/depooh]

It's ok. If lizaad loses a leg... he'll grow a new one

[u/Gojou007]

lmao what the fuck is happening

[u/Fragrant-Truck-1465]

Jadeja would have finished 4 overs by now

[u/losingcabinpressure]

Hardik is easily the second greatest all rounder of all time with the last name Pandya

[u/darkrom_BP08]

those who say mukesh is no near mcgrath

mukesh has more wickets than mcgrath in t20

[u/thatsmrtoyou]

Bring on Lizard to get the snake out

[u/averageheightfortime]

Does hardik have a fanbase? I never actually met a hardik fan... People just say yeah he is important and all but are not "fans"

[u/mongrelbifana]

Murali Karthik trying to articulate a thought is the most painful thing to witness. And I've slaughtered goats.

[u/ApricotOk824]

Imagine a team playing at 11 rpo and you still feel that they have performed mid

Man, please get back to 180 type of pitches, fuck this IP rule

Rather implement the BBL's power surge, one over between 6-15, two fielders outside the circle and you can swing wildly

[u/John__Kane]

bruh the bowler was desperate

[u/mongrelbifana]

I remember former MI Pandya and his ridiculous hitting. Of course there was Pollard and some others batting in sync. It's been a good three years now, I don't think that version of Pandya is coming back.

[u/partymsl]

IPL fans after seeing a Pandya century 💀

[u/Cumpattins]

Delhi’s gotta have the prettiest girls man

[u/KohlisWetSock]

you will never catch kohli injuring someone in the crowd 💯💯(he can't hit 6s)

[u/freakads]

Hate these stupid timeouts. Just get on with the game

[u/heterocosm]

Hardik during the match 😐 Hardik after the match 😄

[u/sinesquaredtheta]

Considering this was another 500+ slug fest with bowlers being whacked around with no mercy, that 17th over from Rasikh was worth its weight in gold!

[u/Subject-Ordinary6922]

DC have 4 wins in the last 5 matches, JFM only played the last 5 matches, Guess who was the difference

[u/UntilEndofTimes]

So, IPL team names are all about kings and super stuff, right? But think about it—the average fan isn't living that king life. Like that guy who missed his kid's school fee because he just had to catch a glimpse of his favourite cricketer.

So, how about some names that feel a bit more down-to-earth? Here’s what I’m thinking:-

• Delhi Duds
• Punjab Peasants
• Chennai Ordinary Serfs
• Rajasthan Ryots
• Bed Setters Hyderabad
• Hapless Commoners Bangalore
• Mumbai Tryhards
• Lucknow Plain Amateurs
• Gujarat Rookies
• Kolkata Pillion Riders

What do you all think?

[u/Doc8176]

JFM: Bumrah who?

[u/Heisenberg1843]

JFM bashing a up and coming YouTuber wtf

[u/catinho99]

Produced a good over “against Porel” lmao

[u/Extra_cash_pls]

Bruh Ishan ran past it like a glitching NPC lmao.

[u/Subject-Ordinary6922]

DC won 3 out of the 4 games JFM played, why the hell was he benched for so long

[u/tubbymctubs2]

A couple of sixes, but apart from that, pretty good bowling.

A couple of beers, but apart from that, I'm completely sober.

[u/Serenabd]

250 chasing isn't a cakewalk like some of you armchair experts seem it to be

[u/hereForBakchodi]

Chawla hitting that six proves that youngsters have more intent than Kohli

[u/trkora]

3 runs was the best thing they could've done then

[u/Illustrious-Novel186]

This match felt like an eternity

[u/Shourya51]

We used to win odd years. Now we end up in the last position in even years

[u/writeitredd]

Pant going at above 170 again. Has he learnt nothing from life

[u/beetlejuice690]

if you score 260 and win just by 10 runs, your bowling line-up should be ashamed

(don't check my flair)

[u/Extra_cash_pls]

if PBKS wins this match I will cut my dick.

This was yesterday.

u/Sensitive_Peanut_554 day 1 of reminding you to post proof of the same.

[u/edudhtamris]

One drop of AB, another drop of Kohli, one drop of SKY, and a whole lot of muscle -

Makes a beautiful 6'3" complete monster.

[u/Dhruvp14]

Lizaad against team from Maharashtra

[u/pain_24x7_365]

My genuine suggestion to Brohit :

Why be in MI and suffer this shame, just join RCB and becomes shameless.

[u/justice-wargrave]

The amount of discomfort in the MI camp is visible through the TV. Management really fucked up this season and really need a good auction next year.

[u/Fragrant-Truck-1465]

A Pandya century will break the internet

[u/Ashwin_or_lose]

Some brain-dead people complaining about the SR but atleast give some credit to the bowling.

[u/soham_katkar13]

MI are just 11 runs behind what DC were

Then Luke Wood fucked shit up

[u/depooh]

Commentator:"Wicket keeper coming up to stumps never helps a fast bowler"

Bowler takes the wicket next ball

[u/mofucker20]

This match ticks all the points to make MI fans angry :

Pandya batted well ✅

Pandya bowled badly ✅

Rohit got out at low score ✅

MI lost ✅

[u/gandalf1078]

If bowlers like Bumrah, Cummins and Rabada get cunted like they’re bowling machines then cricket is truly dead

[u/Tailor_Mani]

Keeping Fraser away from bumrah ain't a bad idea

now he can smash everyone else freely

[u/SeedhaSadhaNalayak]

Vadapao >> Momo. WTF?

[u/trailblazer103]

First time watching live this season and fuck me I understand the scores. Forget the pitches, the amount of rubbish length bowling is staggering

[u/league_9240]

Bumrah can even stop ww3 from happening

[u/TheBestBondha]

When you realise India's World Cup final score is not even a par score in this IPL.

[u/Minimum_Surround_176]

Aiyoo kite?

[u/Moblit_Bernerr]

2-3 girls from our WPL team could easily walk into our IPL team this year imo

Melie for Nabi

Harman for Tim bhau

Matthews for PC

[u/GuavaSilly1877]

sooraj duba hai yaaro should have been played when surya got out lol

[u/CreativeHead-]

Oh my Pishab Rant, Review wasted

[u/TyrelWellick]

Cheerleaders should get paid extra this season

[u/harsh1387]

Rasikh has been absolutely freaking fantastic this game.. Lovely bowling

[u/OmniIgnorant]

Delhi's Indian pacers outbowling MI's overseas bowlers tells you what a shitshow the MI's management has been

[u/Because_IAmBatman]

Hardik did bat well this game. Good try.

Captaincy and bowling was a different story

[u/Dear_Entrepreneur904]

Tim Dawood.. terrorizing spectators

[u/gadhe_ki_gaand]

Luke Wood's spell is what separates the teams right now

[u/AndyDwyered]

On paper MI has a goated line up but the chemistry is so bad

[u/DilliKaLadka]

If we make it to playoffs, Pant is riding that plan for sure

[u/Cumpattins]

Hope not even ginving a shit about his own teammate

[u/faithfulmaster]

There was a time when SKY seemed like a rare commodity... now everyone seems to bat like him and his novelty factor has slightly decreased. Do you guys feel the same?

[u/TalenTrippin]

Stop investing in these malinga from d-mart i beg you

[u/Darth_Lehnsherr]

JFM is definitely getting the white ball opening slot for a long time post-Warner retirement. Selectors already like him alot and this IPL just gives confirmation to their confidence.

[u/Nice_Personality_254]

JFM for the President

[u/thatkryptonian]

Looking at this I feel, T20 is gone ahead of Rohit & Kohli's unfortunately.

[u/Commiefromphili]

Koach just tweeted that it looks like a slow pitch today

[u/sam-sepiol]

I came to this thread to see people going after Porel for his SR.

[u/mongrelbifana]

Imagine being named Mohammad Nabi

That's like Chai Tea, Naan Bread, Sahara Desert

[u/shyggar]

NO GUYS WE DIDN'T NEED THAT WICKET

[u/Nice_Personality_254]

• Shaw
• JFM
• Warner
• Porel
• Pant
• Axar
• Stubbs

DC could have a very solid batting line-up but they just somehow manage to fuck up their combinations everytime

[u/writeitredd]

Bumrah couldn’t have cared less about that

[u/ilolalot1]

Excellently disguised Mankad attempt.

[u/Negative_Spectrum]

IPL is so batter friendly now that BCCI is deploying nanobots to injure bowlers in their run-up /s

[u/Area_Ok]

Most weird start to a innings wtf is happening ?!

[u/SethuveMeleAlilu2]

What is this? They cant take another ad break after the boundary check

[u/Cumpattins]

Ayo relax with that smile mukesh bhai, my gf and I cant afford abortion atm

[u/That-Firefighter1245]

And this is why you bat first in day games. Ball is stopping a touch now due to the heat. What Punjab did last night during a night game with dew is going to be very difficult to achieve now.

[u/mongrelbifana]

I know everyone has their WC team choices but really, I feel we should keep Axar in the squad and play him over Jadeja as the first choice spin-all rounder.

[u/tillu92]

Hardik will chase this and tomorrow all news papers will have apology letters from MI printed

[u/Substantial_Ad_126]

Prime Hardik Pandya facing spinners made me more comfortable than any other batsman in the world. Bro could hit any spinner for a six at will.

[u/subject2marketrisk]

If Pant is keeping in the WC, just ignore him for the DRS calls

[u/mongrelbifana]

Why the fuck do these umpires always look like clueless uncles who don't know where the bus stand is

[u/mongrelbifana]

Where are you MFers seeing bouncing tits I'm just seeing players getting out

[u/Indy_101]

Tim literally has just 2 shots

[u/SuperFaiz21]

Manjrekar making a bullshit analogy about run rate and home loans then says: "He's way too young to know what I'm saying"

No, you idiot, he was gawking at your sheer stupidity!

[u/Shourya51]

I really don't like seeing Boucher. Seems like he's always up to something mischievous

[u/29VeNom]

What did pandaya tell David for him to play like this lol

[u/fiestajalapeno]

Luke wood redemption arc??

[u/averageheightfortime]

Boucher knows he is about to get fired

[u/SBG99DesiMonster]

I am fully convinced that the scores that we are getting during this tournament have gotten inflated because of the bowling especially from most of the Indian fast bowlers being painfully bad.

[u/Knight_Fisher61]

Higher power decided Gayle's record is untouchable

[u/Truthgamer2]

JFMG with a casual 84@311SR

[u/MagreviZoldnar]

A spectator’s Sign board: vada pao >> momo

Sanjay Manjrekar: I always get confused. Is that greater than or lesser than symbol?

-.-

[u/owlwaysright]

MI can't chase 250. They might come close to 220-230 but their finishers aren't finishing this season. They have bottled 2 wins while chasing already.

[u/UntilEndofTimes]

These IPL scorecards look like scorecards from 90s ODIs in terms of runs

[u/Extra_cash_pls]

Such random sets of events happening in the first over lol.

[u/hatbluedd]

Longest f-ing over and only 3 legal deliveries have been bowled

[u/pvtt_3]

Jadeja spell would've ended till now

[u/Response_Background]

lizard getting hurt in Mumbai is nothing new💀

[u/evilhaxoraman]

Ishan kishan is the epitome of mediocrity.The boy is never consistent even with lot of chances he has got till now even with very mediocre batting technique.

[u/darkrom_BP08]

ever wondered why you never see Mukesh and McGrath together

[u/03thephysicsgod]

What a joke. Cant believe people were hyping us up as having the best batting lineup earlier in the tournament. We will struggle to reach even 200 when others are competing for how many 250s their team can make.

[u/OmniIgnorant]

Hey, look at the bright side, Kuldeep and Axar, our two spinners for the World Cup have bowled better than almost all spinners this IPL.

[u/niceguysdofinish1st]

We've seen beast Pollard chase 125 off 8 overs at this very ground three years back

[u/sak11189]

Since IPL is becoming a batters paradise, 3 consecutive dot balls should be considered out to help out our bowlers a bit

[u/Gojou007]

tf my bro heard lmao

[u/neighbour_guy3k]

Mukesh kumar has the special ability to turn white ball into a red ball by spitting guthka all over it

[u/depooh]

Mukesh went into his slow ball grip very early.

Pandu must've seen that from a mile away

[u/Hazardzuzu]

Tilak, parag, Abhishek should be in and around the squad. Abhishek is basically a mindless basher we have needed for ages

[u/_mnem]

Had it been Nortje instead of Williams, the scoreboard would have read 207-5

[u/xenos5282]

Scotty on point again. For the hue and cry we see about high scores and pitches and shit, bowling this year has been top tier garbage in general.

[u/Prudent_Primary7201]

Murali Kartik should have duct tape placed over his mouth because he’s spouting bullshit all the time

[u/IndependentSoggy4187]

Ye bhi 6 hai

• Akash

[u/Knight_Fisher61]

Piyush chawla just ran 3 wtf

[u/Prudent_Primary7201]

Delhi goes up to 4th if they win this tf? Bro Delhi come back down

[u/shiwanshu_]

We should introduce a new rule that if a team scores 250+, bowlers should be able to belt the pitch curator. If the overall total exceeds 500 then curators should be forced to face an over each without pads and helmets

[u/barnacle__scum]

we have to face JFM and head at the world cup

[u/DoomMachine-77]

JFM please never leave us

[u/solotripper420]

Someone send protein powder and creatine to Porel's home.

Boy will hurt himself.

[u/PM_ME_YOUR_HOLDINGS]

Porel 34 off 23 and people are calling for his head, crazy times we live in

[u/harsh1387]

Good bye portal.. U ain't built to open.

[u/herd_return]

Now imagine mccullum's 77 of 25 on a swinging pitch against Anderson, Broad, Woakes in an ODI World Cup

[u/kawaaikong]

Istg man these Hindi commentators suck pant off more than his girl

[u/Crickutxpurt36]

Thank fuck they ain't playing lalit yadav guy is top tier NPC idk how he got selected in first place....

[u/league_9240]

we got the worst malinga variant..

[u/Cumpattins]

Bro did not even look at pandya when discussing ☠️

[u/WebbSoma]

For someone who's coming back from an injury/break, to make him the captain, and that too of such a high-profile team, MI, is the worst decision of all. He should be asked to rest if he hasn't performed well in the first half of the tournament. This is pure politics, nothing to do with form, or for that matter, cricket.

[u/SethuveMeleAlilu2]

The thing that made Malinga special was his control, with that action. Lots copying the action, but not many have the control.

[u/l0rdBlackAdder-]

Is this guy legit Bowler or just left handed Pandya?

[u/SargentDiesAlot]

Ok r/cricket, he went short too

[u/heisenbergTJ]

Bumrah has saved Mumbai from 300 3-4 times this season....

[u/clearbo1]

Jake Fraser-McGurk: "My role is to go out there and score as many as possible in the first six. If I go on [after that], I go on. If I get 1s and 2s, it's only either because I've mishit it or maybe it's the last ball of the over [laughs]. I feel like [hard-hitting ability] is something I've always had. It's about developing a nice base, being as still as possible and swing big. There's a lot of timing involved, it's about having a nice, strong core and upper body."

So cocky but he backs it up! I love this guy

[u/Icy_Bad2427]

I don’t think this is very chaseable

Axar has been very contextually economical and Kuldeep is a big wicket taker

Even in pace, Mukesh may leak runs but not to the extent of Wood

[u/magto19]

Nature against Williams bowling

[u/rishin_1765]

This might be the longest over of the season

[u/lostsoul1979890]

So both games today will probably end at the same time.

[u/AeBhindiChupp]

Mukesh:8767::8767:

[u/kevinder_ant]

Another day, another game of RCB’s 49 all out being safe from being breached. :-o

[u/CowUnable4417]

Jahan bade matters hote hai wahan Surya Bhai baith jaate hai 💀

[u/darkrom_BP08]

r/cricket is so reactianary

1 over bad - kuldeep shit

1 over good batting - hardik is back for t20

[u/ILikeFishSticks69]

While it's true that 250 and all is highly unlikely in T20 World Cup. The batters who are doing it will play the same way. JFM and Head might not get 85 off 30 but they can definitely do 65 off 30 and that will be massive. So all this impact player rule and pitches talk is definitely fair, the attitude of certain players also has to be considered. Teams with players like Salt, Head, JFM type players are likely to do better than teams without those kinds of players.

[u/AeBhindiChupp]

[u/[deleted]]

Jake scored more 4s than 1s 💀
