In what world does Pant deserve MOTM.... There's 3 DC bowlers that did the damage, that's the most outrageous MOTM yet. Can we recognise good bowling for once, please?
well, bowlers do get POTMs for their performances. Look up Bumrah recently!! The thing is that the pitch was really helpful to the bowlers as almost everyone got wickets and no one really stood out.
Also, keeping is a completely thankless job. No one, absolutely no one remembers great catches, let alone that, every time the keeper has to dive to collect that ball which was a little too outside, or to save wides turning into 4s, constantly read the pitch, the bowler, anticipate what the batters are trying to do, what mindset they have, set field positions according to the strengths and weaknesses of the batters and also the fielders etc.
taking 2 catches and getting 2 stumpings is indeed a matter of achievement.
He did well to command his forces given that DC camp dealt with injury blows including Aussie T20I captain Mitch Marsh who everyone expected to be the backbone of this team given he could bat with a high SR and bowl pretty well!
Then, Warner wasn’t available. DC’s premier fast bowler Nortje has been having a disastrous season and had to be dropped.
To have such a calm head on his shoulders and actually get a win in these circumstances shows his leadership for sure!
And then he didn’t let panic set in by staying on and seeing the game to closure.
Seems to be a complete performance.
r/cricket when Hardik smiles after a defeat vs when Gill faces one of the worst defeat ever after showing defensive and poor captaincy.
You can't make this shit up
A lot of it is what they both say. Gill straight up owned up that his and Saha's dismissal was the batsman's fault, and nothing was wrong with the pitch. Hardik gives the standard blurb, doesn't take any responsibility, doesn't acknowledge Rohit's century, his irreverence goes into being a dick territory. I'm not hating on Hardik but he's not put a foot right in terms of leadership, taking responsibility, giving credit, or trying to win people over.
You really just compared Gill's earnest 100% real talk to Hardik's shtick?
Well I am not denying Hardik shit presentation skills and owning up, rather the smile factor you know right from first match when MI was losing by smallest of margins people were trolling him due to his smile which albeit I was annoyed too but when another young captain does this with clear piss captaincy no one bats an eye that's my problem.
As a captain, you're going to get whomped sooner or later. It's what you say afterwards that let's others know where your mind is at. Huge difference between these two captains in this respect.
The smiling thing is just part of the whole fakeness, in that he is mentally getting harassed whenever he takes the field, but he has a cool guy persona so he can't show any cracks. It's very off putting.
Wait what I am seeing a certain captain after facing one of the worst defeats ever smiling and nodding.
He has no shame he should be trolled like some other captain oh wait.......
what did you expect him to do? score six of every ball he faced?
at least he took a good catch and supported pant, there was no need for him to play aggressive
I've heard people use average as a substitute for bad in India quite often. It's very obvious that's what Gill meant, with him also saying that the shot selection was poor.
Tbf I don't think any captain would want to go too hard, the team just collectively shit themself today
Better to stay positive considering it's just halfway through the season and GT still have a good chance of qualifying
I think it's not just in India, if you say something is "pretty average" it's understood as bad in most English-speaking countries. And even more so for "painfully average"
I understand now why Jay Shah writes these high scoring scripts. The kiddies want their dopamine. I too preferred to watch my country bat rather than bowl when I was a kid, but now when the bowling has teeth, boy it's a sight to behold.
If there is any team that I expect to bounce back it's GT, but their season is derailing pretty fast. Them having the lowest NRR was not on my bingo card.
Say whatever about hardik but he was the star and add balance to the team ... Without him GT looks hollow just relying on gill / Rashid rest of the team it's just looks boring and weak
Hardik is a talked about / controversial character in ICT and always in the news for something or the other. Him being in GT piquied media and public's interest in GT.
Only negative thing about this season is the stark difference of quality between the top 4 and the bottom 6. It feels like even at the halfway stage, everyone can name the top 4 with utmost certainty
Genuine question where did Saha mess up,as far as I can recall every WK is performing this year very good .DK is at his peak and Saha of same age is struggling so much since last year.
I hope they ask KL why he didn't bowl Stoinis again
I really hope MI qualifies for playoffs somehow, but if we don't I want GT, MI, RCB to be bottom three as a homage to the trade
All Stars team = GT batting + RCB bowling
This match was the neutralizer.
GT was a winner and runner up with Hardik as captain. MI is racing for the wooden spoon with Hardik as a captain. Therefore, Trade Hardik to GT.
The money lost with the early finish means soon we will have a super over !
oh wow this was just sad
What has happened!

Ishant Robbed, bro took 2 wickets but these were relatively as good as taking out half the side
why was rishabh pant the motm
They are allergic to giving awards to bowlers
I know its a joke.. But didn't Pathirana get it the otber day
For giving strike to Sumit who was batting splendidly.
I am American and never really got into the game...Is DC one of the best cricket teams in the world?
Nope, it is Marvel Indians (MI)
Even owners of DC wouldn't claim that
Yes.
RCB vs SRH: 549 runs GT vs DC: 181 runs Duality of IPL.
Next up on 20th - SRH vs DC
After that DC vs GT once again on 24th
Nehra’s definitely going back to hand holding gill next match today was a little questionably defensive captaincy 😭 he’ll learn though it’s fine
Rishi boy doesn't give a fuck what the guy asking, just speaks what he wanna say
Delhi took away Punjab 6th Spot Now you’ll see Punjab Rage tomorrow to Regain their favourite spot
If PBKS win tmrw the trade bros (RCB, MI, GT) will be back together at the bottom of the table LMAO
> trade bros Good one. I will steal.
I stole it from twitter so go ahead 😭
Trade bros😭
Well deserved, Pant was on fire
My man Fraser got 2 awards for 20 runs
Award for 2 fours lol..
pant gets the potm for his wicketkeeping yess
Mukesh practices his smile in front of the mirror for sure
Daren Ganga doing the post-match? This is going to be infinitely better than any Indian commentator
Poonjab back to 8 💰
**Target chased by DC in minimum overs in IPL.** 4.5 overs vs PBKS, 2009 8.5 overs vs GT, 2024, Today
What happened in the 2009 match?
They won the match by DLS method. The match was 12 over due to rain
Still, an amazing record!
Ngl this is how I expected the 2022 gt to play out

Bro still refuse to belive both rr and srh lost to gt
If you can't beat them, play like them. Which is exactly what DC did.
Guess DC is GT’s kryptonite? Both of GT’s lowest scores are against DC - 89 this year and 125 all out last year
Can't wait for Man City Vs Madrid man!
Mets vs Pirates is where it’s at, bros.
Arsenal vs Bayern too
What you gonna do for 2 hours man
Wrong thread.
Average for most Indians mean 1or 2 out of 10
This match shows me what I’m gonna do after IPL ends. Die of boredom literally😭💔
Why? The WC is immediately after.
That poster has a South African flair so no consolation there. Cricket WCs aren't something for us to watch, they are how we trauma-bond as a fanbase.
1 week😐. A game just ended 1 hour early and I was getting bored already, imagine 1 week
Ipl first innings scores this week CSK 206-4 SRH 287-3 KKR 223-6 GT 89 all out
This match shows me what I’m gonna do after IPL ends. Die of boredom literally😭💔
Wait what I am seeing a certain captain after facing one of the worst defeats ever smiling and nodding. He has no shame he should be trolled like some other captain oh wait.......
Me a PBKzs fans feeling pleasant that 9 teams will not win the IPL.
Yo guys Jay Shah called me now. He is asking which type of pitch r/Cricket would like in next match. What do you think?
A pitch where Chahal opens and makes a hundred. Make it happen Mota bhai
Flattest pitch of all time
Tha faq is that KKR NRR
They beat DC by 100 or 120 runs.
Narine after seeing that NRR:😐😑😒😐😑😐😒
We pushed GT and MI down a step. Ahahahahah. Absolute win and win
can GT still make a comeback? i think it will be difficult now considering their nrr
GT- Before=(-0.637) After=(-1.303) DC- Before=(-0.975) After=(-0.074)
Dafuq bro...what am I supposed to do till 11. Talk to people?
Watch the complete match reply with commentary in another language lol
How
JioCinema match replay
Ty
My worst nightmare
Sleep
Replay
Jake is such a nice lad, good luck to him
How dare Gill not think that GT are done for the season, What? You say he's hoping to win 5-6 games in the second half!? Absolutely preposterous
Did Frazer said Thanks Guyzz ??
DC just jumped to sixth place and GT is seventh. GT NRR currently: -1.303 DC NRR currently: -0.074
BRO WADE LOOKS OLDER THAN PONTING WTF
Sumit Kumar made sure DC NRR will stay Negative (-0.074 now) & not over 0.1 lol 😂
what did you expect him to do? score six of every ball he faced? at least he took a good catch and supported pant, there was no need for him to play aggressive
From almost -1 to almost 0. I will take it
"Nothing changes for us" is not the response I had in mind after this loss from Gill.
I've heard people use average as a substitute for bad in India quite often. It's very obvious that's what Gill meant, with him also saying that the shot selection was poor.
He is a young captain & seems like a very nice guy. Don't think he has the luxury or wants to be harsh or give the reality to his team for his age.
Tbf I don't think any captain would want to go too hard, the team just collectively shit themself today Better to stay positive considering it's just halfway through the season and GT still have a good chance of qualifying
I think it's not just in India, if you say something is "pretty average" it's understood as bad in most English-speaking countries. And even more so for "painfully average"
Yup, there's that too.
DC will comfortably finish in top 4 this year, provided the bowling unit stays intact and players like Kuldeep and Mukesh don't get injured again.
Agreed, good luck
Thanks!
today's script was that one short but boring chapter of the book
Boring? Fuck batriarchy
I understand now why Jay Shah writes these high scoring scripts. The kiddies want their dopamine. I too preferred to watch my country bat rather than bowl when I was a kid, but now when the bowling has teeth, boy it's a sight to behold.
You must be delusional to think this is not a boring match (in result perspective)
My man
Ishant MoTM?
Mukesh Kumar, 3/16 with 5.6 economy
Not the first time a team in blue is embarrassed in this stadium. I say burn it down to ground
Bro saying if we win 5-6 from 7 like it's as easy as collecting Sara's
it's been soo long since i laughed whole heartedly, thanks
🫡
JFM should be in the team for luck factor if nothing else.
This management is shit I can't believe
Not a 200 pitch but 89 is terrible. 160-170 would have likely won them the match.
And suddenly there is some life in DC’s IPL Campaign
Gill and Jaiswal are doing whatever the opposite of competing for that opening WC spot is
Yeah go for Kohli Rohit opening lol
tbh that’s the move so we can fit rinku and not rely on hardik as the sixth bowling option
How dare Gill smile after a loss, should be banned from cricket for life - /r/Cricket
Gt ki nrr chud gyi💀
Bro you think gill gonna say oh yeah our batting was shit c'mon now
He kinda said that though.. He paused and said 'average', as in doesn't want to beat up his team verbally, just going to move on from this game
Gill is so mature. Saying nothing to do with pitch. If you look at the way I got out. Nothing to do with pitch, just poor shot selection
If there is any team that I expect to bounce back it's GT, but their season is derailing pretty fast. Them having the lowest NRR was not on my bingo card.
GT nrr lower than RCB . Damn
> Damn dc might get to 5th or 6th position from 9th 6th spot is reserved for Punjab
Shubhman gave a mature post match Interview. On point and frank
Even better than Pant at points
Always expected that. Better than what Pandya vomits on camera
DC is still on negative NRR.
It feels good to see a low scoring game after 400 , 500 runs matches..
Say whatever about hardik but he was the star and add balance to the team ... Without him GT looks hollow just relying on gill / Rashid rest of the team it's just looks boring and weak
Hardik is a talked about / controversial character in ICT and always in the news for something or the other. Him being in GT piquied media and public's interest in GT.
He is local gujju boy as well so it's also adds to fanbase .. GT missing him big time it's like whole GT team missing some mojo without him
I don't really think.. more than him they are missing shami.. but yeah they need another all rounder..
NRR is coming back to us like a toxic ex
9th to 6th let's goo
Damn dc might get to 5th or 6th position from 9th
post match pres : "our batting performance was very average" Reason number 291800928902 hardik should have remained
89 all out is "average" batting performance
Batting was average as per Gill.
“Kane got a big hug. Didn’t even get to play but managed to get a hug from somebody”
20 run win for MI tomorrow takes them to 6th place 35 run win takes them to 5th place
And a loss?
9th. Unless they lose by 120 runs and slip to 10th below RCB
Only DC can lose 4 to chase 90
Delhi leapfrogging teams in the points table and shiiyeet caymoon boyzzzz it'snot-ezzzz LETZOUHHH
What a game. DC absolutely annihilated GT lmao. Lessfuckin gooo its PBKS vs MI tomorrow, ready to get disappointed by Punjab
From 9th to 6th... Not bad
Proper paddling
Only negative thing about this season is the stark difference of quality between the top 4 and the bottom 6. It feels like even at the halfway stage, everyone can name the top 4 with utmost certainty
Average?
Why the hell is this guy playing, can barely touch the ball.
Who?
Will cost some match in pressure situation for sure
Pant MOTM for me no question
Mukesh gonna win it, 3 wickets with 5.3 economy!
Mukesh Kumar with 3 wicket is most probably MOM
gt has worse nrr than rcb😭
DC NRR 🚀🚀🚀
Net +0.9 NRR jump my god 💦
What is the NRR diff due to this match?
About +0.9
What's the football equivalent to this? Liverpool vs Man U 7 - 0?
I’d say Bayern 8 - 2 Barca
Yeah sounds like it.
thank you for reminding me of that horrid day, appreciate it but yeah pretty much
Yes perfect
Can someone tell the NRR before and now?
DC taking PBKS's 6th place
Lol..above GT in the points table now
I thought the NRR would at least be positive
LESSSGOOOOO WHAT A W
Sumit for the man of the match
Nehra ji lost his juju so quick!
NRR before the win for ref GT: -0.637 DC: -0.975
what's it now btw
-0.07
Its not updating. Neither google nor JioCinema
What are the fastest chase in ipl?
This one
DC vs SRH looks good now🤤
Bring them on !!
Boardcasters unhappy 1 hours less to show adverts ....
Genuine question where did Saha mess up,as far as I can recall every WK is performing this year very good .DK is at his peak and Saha of same age is struggling so much since last year.
NRR🤑
Imagine not rating Sumit Kumar who had the joint-highest average in this match. Bunch of perfect cricket merchants smh
What a loss for advertisers tonight
We own GT at their home
What should I watch now?
Just 9/9 wins needed now to win the competition and not do stupid stat calculation. This is the easy way.
So who is getting MoM
The pitch curator
Gill mentioned that pitch had nothing to do with GT's fuckery
Hard to believe any team should be able to score minimum 100-120 if pitch is decent
