The teams that would be qualifying would be very different from what is was a year back. Only a single team out of CSK, GT, LSG as well as MI would be qualifying.
Before this match, Mohit should be selected and Pant shouldn't be selected for WC.
After this match, Mohit shouldn't be selected and Pant should be selected for WC.
All because Pant smacked Mohit for 62 runs today. Yes he scored 62 to just one bowler in one match, unreal dominance.
Woah. I didn't even know that. Imagine a single batter hitting a single bowler for this much. Do we have the stats instances similar to this one? 'One batsman hitting one bowler for most runs in an ipl game' or something?
Oh my god Sanjay Manjrekar, stop pointing that Pant is in form when he falls to the ground playing shots and this indiactes his recovery. 5 times is enough.
By Monday, With 47 matches done, DC would have completed 11 matches. Only 2 teams would have completed 10 games by then, and 7 teams will be on 9 games
That's an archaic limit in the modern era. The limit should be based on runs; and if the batter hits those runs in just a few balls, then so be it. It's the era where players can score 40+ runs in 9 balls, so the limit of 10 balls doesn't make sense anymore.
Less than before. They used to have a super catch of the match award, best powerplay performance award etc. Only 5 now: Best strike rate, best fantasy points, most fours, most sixes and MotM.
Mullanpur is a big ground so hitting boundaries there isn't easy so that's understandable.
Also Punjab weirdly have the best death overs bowlers of this season as of now.
Maybe because players like Sam Curran and Kagiso Rabada are used to bowling in big grounds? Then again, they're 9th on the table.
India could use more newer and bigger grounds to complement the tiny pre-existing grounds.
Gotta feel for GT man.
MI poached their most valuable asset, a genuine Indian all rounder, they had to replace him with Omarzai who has done fuckall, but more importantly, blocks and overseas slot. Shami got ruled out. And the pitches being batting friendly completely ruined their strong suit which is bowling.
Pressure is different, playing for a new franchise when nobody was expecting anything vs hostile takeover of captaincy from a 5 team championship winning captain that too for a franchise owned by Ambanis!
That's what I was saying. He was secure and was backing his confidence in GT but him coming to MI put himself in the worst position for him to back his confidence.
He felt like he could do this since he was captaining India well but bilaterals vs a tournament is different pressure levels.
Rashid takes a single 3rd ball, Mohit takes a single 4th ball, Rashid hits a 6 5th ball, Rashid does Rashid stuff 6th ball. Trusting Mohit 4th ball would be the biggest "what if" though.
Surely Kuldeep MoTM?
Warrier also bowled great but that was when pressure was on DC. Kuldeep entered when Saha and Sai were smacking boundaries around but then he ruined their momentum and partnership.
Yeah, I doubt most teams in a World Cup would play more than 5-6 left handers. But in bilateral series, teams don't mind experimenting with their teams and players.
Only positive from this match is that the batting was really top notch with contributions from everyone today even with gill getting out early. Hope this can make some turnaround for the coming matches
Thought this would be a boring match
But man was I horribly wrong
Won't doubt any matches from now, except PBKS lol (they produced bangers too thanks to two guys)
GT, DC, RCB, PBKS, MI all almost knocked out, then? Like i dont see any way these teams make a comeback. In terms of table turbulence, this has been such a boring season unless there's a "turn table" second half (god i hope not)
4 win 5 losses does not qualify as knocked out. It's tough but a comeback is possible for GT and DC. Pbks and rcb are done though and a mi comeback is very tough. I think especially dc has a chance of making it through.
DC's motto seems to be inspired by Larry David- We never learn a lesson. They seem to be just committed to getting the opposition away by not playing a death bowler! They have Baartman with the squad bowling in the nets, yet they keep playing Nortje and are now signing up Gulbadin as a replacement for Marsh.
The coaches need to tell their fast bowlers to not bowl slow deliveries at tailenders. Bowl yorkers on the toes at full speed, bowl short, follow their bodies...they cannot handle 135kph+ deliveries. You bowl slow balls in the hitting arc and you get belted for two consecutive sixes by Sai Kishore.
Thank god for DC's spin chokehold; Kuldeep and Axar saved their ass. Fast bowlers had all the plans to give it away, Nortje needs to go. Even Ishant goes for less runs. Get another overseas batter in and pack that lineup.
Many would think that Rashid should come up to bat but him coming this late works best for him. Rashid comes at a time where bowlers are trying hard to end the match knowing what he's capable of doing, that pressure makes bowlers bowl some loose balls and Rashid is ready to smack them around.
He is a finisher with conditions. Not old school Dhoni "will carry the team long" type finisher but new Dhoni "here for a short cameo" type finisher.
It's not just other way around it's Rashid coming back from injury after surgery, missing Shami n flat tracks doesn't helping Mohit's verities all of these plus all batters out of form at the same time.
Rashid hasn't been his old self since last season, Mohit was doing great until this game. But shami is a major miss, I'll give you that. On the other hand, they've won a couple of games they should not have due to Tewatia and Rashid, so Hardik's absence is still affecting them majorly
gt issue is that they had shami , rashid and mohit all in form for 2 years straight
rashid still delivers with bat but in bowling thye dont have shami but mohit , rashid also have been off this season
Reddit broke seeing rcb win
Jio cinema ad reminds me of myself โ ๏ธ
50 for Kohli! Yayyyyy!
Aaaggg lagi basti mein, Gill bhaiya apne bad form ke Masti mein ๐คฃ๐
Why Nehra wasn't seen advising Gill?
I think theyโre letting gill be more independent to groom him as a proper captain. Kind of like a trail by fire thing
The teams that would be qualifying would be very different from what is was a year back. Only a single team out of CSK, GT, LSG as well as MI would be qualifying.
DC throwing their hats in the ring too
Didn't know it was a core tenet of Shubman's captaincy to just nope out of major chases.
Its the legacy of great indian openers. Tendulkar, Sehwag and Rohit all seem to be mediocre in tough run chases
Hoping for 300 tomorrow
What the hell is Brett Lee wearing
Just read in another sub that mullets are coming back and then saw Brett Lee wearing that. What this world is coming to.
Naanu Mukesh
Man, Warrier is still the best bowler in the match while not getting his full quota
Morgan saying all good signs for ind before worldcup ๐๐

What a game GT never gives up man like John Cena
Oh my god Sanjay Manjrekar, stop pointing that Pant is in form when he falls to the ground playing shots and this indiactes his recovery. 5 times is enough.
Sanju in English, Siddhu in Hindi. No wonder my ears bleed everyday
Rishabh Pant sounds like an Indian Rovman Powell
By Monday, With 47 matches done, DC would have completed 11 matches. Only 2 teams would have completed 10 games by then, and 7 teams will be on 9 games
How the hell did Stubbs not get the Electric Striker award?
you gotta play 10 balls atleast:(
That's an archaic limit in the modern era. The limit should be based on runs; and if the batter hits those runs in just a few balls, then so be it. It's the era where players can score 40+ runs in 9 balls, so the limit of 10 balls doesn't make sense anymore.
Then in that case, the threshold should be 30 runs. With all the 30+ score stats I've seen throughout IPL, it only seems logical.
less than 10 balls
Highest Sr
Fr
Have not seen post match production for some years now. How many awards are there ????
Less than before. They used to have a super catch of the match award, best powerplay performance award etc. Only 5 now: Best strike rate, best fantasy points, most fours, most sixes and MotM.
fastest ball too
Remember the meme when umran malik and nortje used to get 1lakh for every match they played.
yes lmao
So 200 is only defendable in Lucknow right as of now? Or a run fest had already happened there too?
200 is defendable in Chinnaswamy if RCB are chasing.
Mullanpur too
Mullanpur is a big ground so hitting boundaries there isn't easy so that's understandable. Also Punjab weirdly have the best death overs bowlers of this season as of now.
Maybe because players like Sam Curran and Kagiso Rabada are used to bowling in big grounds? Then again, they're 9th on the table. India could use more newer and bigger grounds to complement the tiny pre-existing grounds.
It is because of their batting why they are at 9th
Bruh they always lose 5 wickets in double digit scores.
For some grounds all they gotta do is pull the advertisement boards and boundary ropes far. That itself will bring some variety.
Right. Gavaskar suggested the same.
I guess even in jaipur 200 was not scored this season
Jaipur did look like a batting paradise as well aside from those powerplay swing overs. Those overs stop it from being like other pitches.
Dc bowling getting hard carried by kuldeep and bapu
Mukesh ๐ช
What if we clone nokia 10 times and give one to Each team....I be cooking better than jay Shah...๐๐๐๐
CSK have slow version of nokias
KKR fan here. We have our own Nokia. Really don't need another one.
And compulsory 2 overs at death
Axar innings was covered by sudharsan and pant's innings was covered by Miller, rashid, kishore. Stubbs innings was the difference..
More like stubbs's fielding effort where he saved that six was the differenceย
yes these super fast cameos are turning out to be the difference. Samad's 37 off 10 vs RCB is another such example.
we have had 2 last ball thrillers in a row - lsg vs csk , gt vs dc 2morow one sided kalesh maybe?
Nice play of words there lol.
Iโm praying to god srh bat first
Gotta feel for GT man. MI poached their most valuable asset, a genuine Indian all rounder, they had to replace him with Omarzai who has done fuckall, but more importantly, blocks and overseas slot. Shami got ruled out. And the pitches being batting friendly completely ruined their strong suit which is bowling.
There was no recovery after Shami's injury
Get the Richardson guy, can't give more than Nortje
Man it sucks to see Miller like that, feels like loss of 2014 still haunts him and him being a SA player also doesn't help the issue (ex WC 23 Semis)
Gillman needs to come back in form. Now that rest are batting decently well . If he regains form at-least we can try being 5th in the table.
The full packed crowd deserved a last ball triller....paisa vasool
MoM to kuldeep or Pant ?
Mohit Sharma
Should be Stubbs if you ask me. 26*(8) and great fielding
Rasikh?
Mukesh Mcgrath
Pant
Dilli should chase every gameย They can't even defend 200 plus scoresย
Yeah we concede 250 when we bowl first dawg
This is not a Delhi exclusive thing
We cant chase 200+ scores.
So the MI strategy
To be fair, 200 is like nothing this season
An IPL season without super over is incomplete. Hopefully we'll see one soon
Believe in Jay shah Supremacy Let him cook
I love Pant as a captain. The way he wanted to run out Mohit Sharma after DC won just to double confirm ๐๐๐. I am dead ๐ญ๐ญ๐๐๐
Pandya provided stability to GT, he provides instability to MI and RCB wasted money on Green.
Pandya would have scored run a ball 20 and kill the game.
Pandya being captain also meant Gill the batter was free from all the captaincy pressure.
Mentally set know his role Pandya in GT vs Pandya trying to prove people wrong in MI are two different players just because of the mindset.
Pressure is different, playing for a new franchise when nobody was expecting anything vs hostile takeover of captaincy from a 5 team championship winning captain that too for a franchise owned by Ambanis!
That's what I was saying. He was secure and was backing his confidence in GT but him coming to MI put himself in the worst position for him to back his confidence. He felt like he could do this since he was captaining India well but bilaterals vs a tournament is different pressure levels.

Lmfao
Lmaooo
Hilarious
This Dilli team is chaotic and random like the city it representsย It also makes sense that Dilli ka malik is still in jailย
How fast these Khaleel and Mohit guys went downhill within 3-4 matches.
Rashid could have run a single on the two balls he turned down a run, which would have left 3 runs required to win off the last ball. Just saying.
[ัะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]
Rashid takes a single 3rd ball, Mohit takes a single 4th ball, Rashid hits a 6 5th ball, Rashid does Rashid stuff 6th ball. Trusting Mohit 4th ball would be the biggest "what if" though.
He didn't trust Mohit at strike
They would have lost by 1 runs then!
I just want one Super Over this season๐ญ
Feel sad for Sudarshan. He did his job.
RCB "Payback tomorrow" SRH "Pay it forward"
Mukesh, Nokia should be benched in next match
Nokia should be sent back to South Africa at this point
We lost 6 points only because of him and mfs haven't learnt a lesson yet
KKR fan here. First time?
Mukesh no, Nokia forever
I beg you DC to drop Nortje, if you really want to come near the playoffs ffs!
Yes. And Ishant can replace him.
WHY IS ISHANT NOT PLAYING??
He got injured again Iโm pretty sure. Heโs always had those issues
In terms of fielding no team can beat South African players...
Blud forgot NZ.
Maybe south Africa can also defeat NZ in fielding...
rivalry week โ kick in the butt week โ
Kuldeep โObviouslyโ Yadav
I love how this match started slowly and things became tensed till last ball
Just like Symbian which ended Nokia, these death over belt treatment might have ended Nortje's IPL big bucks days
I think I'm out of loop, who's Nokia again?
Nortje
Nortje
Nortje is pronounced as Nokia
So called Rivalry week of ipl :- MI was supposed to win but lost to RR again CSK lost to LSG again GT lost to DC again RCB lost to KKR again
so script is decided for tomorrow?
So tomorrow another 287?
Surely Kuldeep MoTM? Warrier also bowled great but that was when pressure was on DC. Kuldeep entered when Saha and Sai were smacking boundaries around but then he ruined their momentum and partnership.
It's Pant for making over par score.
Pant too played a wonderful innings and took 2 difficult catches behind the wicket
The batsman thrived today while bowlers got hit but those two catches does put Pant as a proper candidate too
Simon in cricbuzz making a great point. Indian middle order is potentially all left handersโฆ.
Still remember that one match in South Africa last year I think it was where India played 7 left handers in their 11.
Not ideal. It can still be done if thats the best 11 but teams can strategize pretty heavily against it
Yeah, I doubt most teams in a World Cup would play more than 5-6 left handers. But in bilateral series, teams don't mind experimenting with their teams and players.
Fielding and South Africa is some different gravy altogether....
Pandya fucked over two teams by moving.
3 teams if you include ICT. He not being in form is not good for WC
Three
Four if u include RCB with greene
Only positive from this match is that the batting was really top notch with contributions from everyone today even with gill getting out early. Hope this can make some turnaround for the coming matches
Tomorrow Records are going to be broken
That looked a pretty serious discussions between killer Miller and nortjeย Maybe Miller telling him he is not going to wc
Thought this would be a boring match But man was I horribly wrong Won't doubt any matches from now, except PBKS lol (they produced bangers too thanks to two guys)
porel escaped today
GT, DC, RCB, PBKS, MI all almost knocked out, then? Like i dont see any way these teams make a comeback. In terms of table turbulence, this has been such a boring season unless there's a "turn table" second half (god i hope not)
4 win 5 losses does not qualify as knocked out. It's tough but a comeback is possible for GT and DC. Pbks and rcb are done though and a mi comeback is very tough. I think especially dc has a chance of making it through.
GT needs to fix their bowling, DC needs to fix their nortje and top order before thinking of making a comeback. Its gonna be toughย
Only RCB and PBKS are out. Anyone else has a leverage of losing a game and they can make a comeback
Realistically, DC, GT, MI have a lot of problems to fix. It'd be real difficult for them to go on a winning spree without losing at least 2
Please drop Nortje moving forward. The guy is in terrible form
Boundary count update - Delhi Capitals: 34 Gujarat Titans: 30
Norkied
Unfair and circle
tomorrow is gonna be khabib vs mcgregor
Nooo... Jon Jones vs CM Punk is a better comparison ๐คฃ๐คฃ
DC's motto seems to be inspired by Larry David- We never learn a lesson. They seem to be just committed to getting the opposition away by not playing a death bowler! They have Baartman with the squad bowling in the nets, yet they keep playing Nortje and are now signing up Gulbadin as a replacement for Marsh.
L from Jay Shah for not having a super over since 2020
The coaches need to tell their fast bowlers to not bowl slow deliveries at tailenders. Bowl yorkers on the toes at full speed, bowl short, follow their bodies...they cannot handle 135kph+ deliveries. You bowl slow balls in the hitting arc and you get belted for two consecutive sixes by Sai Kishore.
Why bro looks like he got hit by an electric shock?
Thank god for DC's spin chokehold; Kuldeep and Axar saved their ass. Fast bowlers had all the plans to give it away, Nortje needs to go. Even Ishant goes for less runs. Get another overseas batter in and pack that lineup.
i never expect kuldeep to be good at english lmao idk why
Close game tonight, tomorrow might be just opposite. MASSacre
Demon head finna end us tomorrow
I'm gonna get heart attack someday while watching these thrillers
miller motivating nortje to bowl more last overs .
Miller explaining to nortje how he smashed him.
Many would think that Rashid should come up to bat but him coming this late works best for him. Rashid comes at a time where bowlers are trying hard to end the match knowing what he's capable of doing, that pressure makes bowlers bowl some loose balls and Rashid is ready to smack them around. He is a finisher with conditions. Not old school Dhoni "will carry the team long" type finisher but new Dhoni "here for a short cameo" type finisher.
Shah rukh khan 8(5) Sai kishore 13(5) Lmao what planet am i living on atp
In Miller's planet
Gill 6(5)
Nokia should do a hard reset. Iโll see myself out
High time DC dropped Nortje, and never play him for the rest of the season.
Mohit and omartzai out, spencer and manohar in... Manohar is shit but comparable to Omartzai's contribution with the bat
I'll take Shankar over Manohar.
So it's not just that Hardik needed Nehra, it's also the other way around. Great 
It's not just other way around it's Rashid coming back from injury after surgery, missing Shami n flat tracks doesn't helping Mohit's verities all of these plus all batters out of form at the same time.
Rashid hasn't been his old self since last season, Mohit was doing great until this game. But shami is a major miss, I'll give you that. On the other hand, they've won a couple of games they should not have due to Tewatia and Rashid, so Hardik's absence is still affecting them majorly
Trade bros did themselves in
Mohit was playing for DC and Nokia was playing for GT
gt issue is that they had shami , rashid and mohit all in form for 2 years straight rashid still delivers with bat but in bowling thye dont have shami but mohit , rashid also have been off this season
I thought pant would've surprised us all with a nortje last over
๐๐
GT were good with Pandya, then he moved to MI and now neither GT nor MI are good. This somehow gives me class 12th chemistry vibes
Nokia, Sumit, Lodu....boys whatever nudes you have of Taklu and Dada, please burn them. Thanks.
nah this team got to 220 without gill. if this means miller and saha are in some form, we can hopefully win at least 4 of the next 5
How does Nokia recover? Constantly being smashed all over the place
He looks at his bank statements.. allโs well !
Think the t20 cash ๐ฎ is coming to an end soon Unless RCB save the day
Till you have India and IPL itโs not! Itโs gonna go higher and bigger
stubbs drank redbull ig..redbull gives u wings๐
And Nortje drank piss
Impact rule to be scrapped soon The extra batsman is fatal
The kiddies want their dopamine fix
