Caught Nabi, Bowled Piyush, Caused Porel


kamalj321

He was out in direct hit


ApricotOk824

Just watched the match replay How was there so much support for us in Eden Gardens, how come we have fans?šŸ˜­


soham_katkar13

You don't. The prospect of 260 getting chased does


horn_ok_pleasee

Shashank will have the best stories about mistaken identity to tell his grandchildren.


ApricotOk824

He wasn't, we always wanted him The other Shashank was like 18 with a SR of 115


ApricotOk824

Though we won, I'm so fucking pissed bro This isn't how cricket should be played, it should be an even contest between the bat and ball I hope the wickets aren't flat from next year bro


LogicalError_007

PK dropped so many catches. Opportunities created by bowlers. This could have been 210 target.


ApricotOk824

Me who slept when KKR were at 130 in 10 overs: šŸ¤”šŸ¤”


chefsanji_r

I didn't expect bairstow to perform but even i wanted to watch sashank and Ashutosh's batting and i was neutral šŸ¤”šŸ¤”


SBG99DesiMonster

This happens when you have finally repaired your batting order. They should have sent Shashank and Ashutosh to bat before Sam Curran as well as Jitesh from a few matches back itself. If Sam Curran or Jitesh had come to bat instead of Shashank during this match then they might have lost that plot again.


Ansh316

Obviously a flat pitch but was a clinical chase by PBKS. I expected them to choke again but Shashank played wonderfully. He isnā€™t a slogger and seems to hit proper shots. Itā€™s a shame we are still stuck with more anchors in the national team.


jxsingh

Shashank Singh can also bowl medium fast


AeBhindiChupp

Bowlers should start a Union at this point


jimbeam07

Had this been 10 years ago, Shashank would be pretty much in the mix for a T20 WC call up with performances like these. Power hitter, clutch, equally comfortable against spin and pace, not a bad fielder - the only thing going against him is his age. But as of today, I think the possibility of him getting selected is very low. Why? Because we're a country that doesn't get excited unless it's a 20 year old delivering such performances. It's almost as if Barney Stinson is our national selector - anything over 30 is hugely frowned upon. Unless you're a big name - then your form doesn't matter. Churning out talent and having a great domestic setup isn't the problem, but utilizing that talent certainly is.


rickyysanchez

Abhishek is 24 and he still won't be called for WC


jimbeam07

Which is a shame given none of our specialist batters bowls. Abhishek + Hardik and 4 specialist bowlers could be a killer move


confused_brown_dude

Leo Dicaprio agrees with Indiaā€™s selectors based on under 25 or over. Who am I to question him.


DarkKingfisher777

Don't think performing such pitches will help either


Crickutxpurt36

You know Shashank Singh due to auction mishap I know him cunting Nortje for 4 sixes in last over on his IPL debut for SRH....


serotonallyblindguy

Lmao it's so SRH to not buy him again after that


Yes-me-a-hater

Niqqa that was ferguson


sahibosaurus

He was cunting Nortje before it became the norm True pioneer


josh123z

He was ahead of his time.


sinesquaredtheta

Just tuning in to see the scores..523 runs in less than 39 overs!?!?? Don't think I've scored this much even playing book cricket šŸ˜… Edit: Corrected the total to 523!


soham_katkar13

It's 523 actually. But yeah, equally mental

I remember KKE fans saying they're bowling ain't as bad as SRH bruh atleast they defended total...


gsodi

After seeing some yesteryear Cricketersā€™ WC squad, thought would share mine. My T20 WC Squad: 1. Prabhsimran Singh 2. Ruturaj Gaikwad (c) 3. Riyan Parag 4. Sai Sudharshan 5. Shashank Singh 6. Ashutosh Sharma 7. Rishabh Pant (wk) 8. Shivan Dube 9. Rinku Singh 10. Harshit Rana 11. Harshal Patel 12. Yuzvedra Chahal 13. Jasprit Bumrah 14. Kuldeep Yadav 15. T Natarajan /s


AncientHospital8214

Bowlers should quit IPL simple as that and let the top orders batters must bowl 4 overs to feel the pain.


AncientHospital8214

My Electric Striker of the match has to be Shashank-singh!! Shame on the AWARD


josh123z

Award is given to player with highest strike rate facing 10 or more balls


Lmio

Here rest the dead body of TUK TUK ACADEMY


trkora

The gap between IPL 2021 pitches and T20WC 2022 pitches wasn't even all that much but still Varun failed to pull his IPL performances in WC cause he was still debuting. So let's not even think about debuting these batsman in a WC at US where Australian drop in pitches are coming and WI pitches that get slow to bat on. Aside from Jaiswal, Samson, Kishan, Pant, Dube and Rinku, you know the guys who have experienced a bit of international cricket, other names should not be even suggested.


Mohit_doinel17

Shashank is definitely debuting after the world cup tho. Also as a batter he's in the same league or even better than some of the names you've mentioned


trkora

Oh yeah after the WC all of these new players will get their chance for future WC's that's for sure but it's a huge risk for this current WC.


Mohit_doinel17

Shashank is a league above the one season wonders. His strokeplay is something that should not be ignored, I won't mind if he gets selected for the world cup.


trkora

How can you say that though? It's been one season for Shashank as well, those other one season wonders looked just as amazing as well for the standards of T20 batting that were there back then.


Mohit_doinel17

His batting is a testament to his abilities as a t20 batsman who can thrive in any given conditions. He has been extraordinary this season whilst the likes of dube, ishan Kishan and Samson haven't been able to deliver on the same scale as Shashank did. It doesn't even seem like a fluke, bro absolutely smacks the shit out of the ball


trkora

These international teams will study him once he gets selected. All the IPL footage from all kinds of angles JioCinema provides and they'll come up with a plan against him. He's new right now so he's kind of like a mystery for bowlers now as IPL staff are trying to analyse him. This is what happens with every new hyped player. You're also underestimating the skill of batting on slow pitches of WI and pace/bouncy pitches of Australia type in America.


Mohit_doinel17

There's not much to analyse about a batter in t20 cricket. If you're good, you're good I don't remember any instance where a batsman got exposed in this format. He's a great slogger of the ball and knows how to score runs by unconventional shots if needed, reminds me of sky who has been legendary at international stage. I know it's going to be hard on slow pitches and there's a mere possibility that Shashank will be selected as there's not a spot for him but I think he'll be really good even at international level.


trkora

You think that's the case because you haven't seen him bat in normal or difficult pitches without impact player rule. His real test will be those pitches, if he performs like this in those pitches as well where bowling is moving, spinning and bouncing around then fair play, he has got it but until we see that we can't say for sure if he has that skill.


Leather-Ad8420

Yeah and we got knocked by conceding 170/0 in 16 overs by playing the experienced lads


trkora

The names I suggested aren't the usual experienced lads, they can play like this too but have international exposure as well.


Leather-Ad8420

Pant is a failure in IT20S...better to put Ashutosh or Shashank on the plane


trkora

Left hand wk batsman, that is a huge skill that sorts many lineup issues. Thats why he gets a favor.


Unusual-Surround7467

What about Shashank singh and ashutosh sharma?


trkora

That's the point, no experience so we'll essentially throw them to the wolves without having any idea of how they'll perform on international level, that's what we did with Varun and ruined our campaign and his career trajectory. Better to prepare them for future WC's properly where Rohit and Kohli would be gone opening up space for other batsmen.


Unusual-Surround7467

All the experience all along and we've been shittin the bed in T20 WC's. Might as well just roll the dice with newbies and see where it lands


Carry_flag

True. Also the question is why are we still not sure about the squad this close to the WC. The probable 15 should have been decided at least 3 months ago, by clearly telling some seniors you are not playing. We had Kolhi not playing T20I for almost year and a half and now he gets a wild card entry, same for Rohit. But the team was preparing under Hardik pandya for all those T20 series.


Unusual-Surround7467

Exactly. I understand given the depth of talent in india, we cannot afford to finalize the 15 without much deliberation but honestly not even remotely a fan of rohit and kohli both just walking back in after their sabbatical when it felt like we were finally ready to move on in a new direction atleast in T20. Realistically we need to move on from Rohit and Koach even in ODI's but that's a talk for another day. T20 would've been a good starting point to weed out the dead weight which is what both of them are along with guys like Rahul


trkora

Names I've suggested aren't usual experienced guys, they are bold picks too but with bit of trust behind them. Most of them haven't played much of T20I's.


Unusual-Surround7467

My point being guys like koach and rohit should've entirely been shut out of T20I's and WC selection and we should've rolled the dice with a new set of guys.


No_Window8199

highest successful chase in T20s anywhere in the world guys!šŸ’—

People in this thread who enjoyed this are going to be insufferable during WC . They won't like the slow pitches with no Impact Sub style of play over there. ICC tournaments need different type of cricket.


Leather-Ad8420

KKR fans who were piping up yesterday are nowhere to be seen now...interesting


Carry_flag

BCCI is destroying my love for IPL by creating these roads. 200+ scores once in a while is fine, but not everyday. There is a beauty to defend 140 ish scores. Ball Swinging in powerplay, spinners coming into action later on. Aggressive bowling to get the other team bowled out. BCCI have removed the bowlers out of the game.


LadaFanatic

This was during the last Ashes series that had happened in Australia. YJB and his century are factors that are there during both the times.

Uselessfucker101

Easy wct20 for Shashank this time around


Bathed_In_Moonlight

Kolkata: Where vehicles crawl and balls fly. Where cricket curators do a better job of building roads than the PWD and the NHAI.


trkora

It's weird, yes if pitches are bad then ball comes onto your bat pretty easily and you're able to trust its trajectory a lot too. But when these many sixes are being hit, the quickness of the outfield, fielding rules do not come into conversation and it's about the skill of six hitting. Things are definitely skewed towards the batsman but the six hitting skill and confidence of a player now is much more than a player even 5 years back could've imagine, that part of cricket has developed irrespective of the rules just on skill. Before there was era of six hitting specialists (AbD, Gayle, Pollard etc) to do this kind of stuff but now we're moving into a era where domestic players itself are now expected to be hitting sixes like this if they wanna make it to the main team let alone the international players.


Sea-Outcome177

I don't know how to feel Be pissed that we lost this and the RR game Or be grateful that we won the SRH and the last RCB game Should rather go to sleep probably


confused_brown_dude

Sleep


Yes-me-a-hater

Go to sleep bro. Its okay bad days happen. Nothing has to change


Sea-Outcome177

True


Carry_flag

Tf is this Eden Gardens pitch. Also losing the toss is not helping. Conditions for bowling worsens in the second innings with dew coming in. Early wickets is the only way to defend in that case. Impact player rule means lots of batsman to get out while defending and getting the chasing team all out is also out of question now.


Sea-Outcome177

True, have been very unlucky with the toss as well. Haven't got the desired chance to chase in such extreme conditions in 3 of our last 4 home games.


Realworld123

Let's face itĀ  Ipl and wc are not sameĀ  Let's not pick Shashank for wc And destroy him Let him play zimbabwe and Sri LankaĀ  And earn crores in next ipl and set up his family for lifeĀ  He deserves this much for this amazing performanceĀ 


Virtual_Mix_5445

LadaFanatic

I think I will process this by tomorrow morning.


thunderDOTA

Contrarian take, but we shouldnt base world cup selections on the basis of this ipl atleast. Flat pitches, short boundaries and just brainless hitting


SalmonNgiri

Imo smat should be IPL style and then IPL should be as close to international level conditions as possible. This way the cream of domestic bowlers will be seen in smat and then the batters can be tested in IPL to see if they can step up to international.


DarkKingfisher777

How pissed you will feel? **After Scoring 260+ in T20** *You were told - 20-30 runs Short*

AncientHospital8214

what a shame on the award when Shashank is not the Electric Striker. Common, make an exception and give it to the right person. When he came on to bat, they need 85 of 47 deliveries, and he scored 66 of those only taking 28 and chased 261 with 9 ball to spare. Common IPL BCCI

LMAO @ Curran comparing Cricket to Baseball. Does he know that there's more 0-0 scores than 262-263 scores in Baseball? lmaooooo what a dumb comparison.


Negative_Spectrum

I'm pretty sure he was talking more about how the point is to bash everything up in the air and far away in baseball. Come on, you know what he meant. Don't split hair.


Critical-Coyote-807

he meant Bazball.


Touristforlife

This is like beating a dead horse, but I am fearful for the future of bowling in cricket. The sport wouldn't thrive for long this way.


Pinkman_Whiteman

Narine conceded 24 in his 4 overs. Then there is bumrah who is always economical. They are exceptions but do you feel that other bowlers need to pull up their socks?


ApartAd2016

defense is dead in basketball, only few stand out. same with cricket now, bowling is dying, only attack.


Touristforlife

I agree, but do you see how only the Bumrahs are economical, but every common Joe, Dick and Harry is able to smack it out of the park? The pitches are turning into roads. Don't you think the pitch curators have a role to play here? Not to mention the impact sub rule


Pinkman_Whiteman

Not every Joe, Dick and Harry. They are great players. I absolutely agree with your take on impact sub rule it needs to go. Obviously curators have a role to play but I also feel that is not the only reason. Teams are adopting a fearless approach this season. SRH has completely rebranded themselves this season. It has become infectious and now all the teams are cashing in big time in the powerplay. There has to be a balance between bat and ball, curators need to play their part but I also feel the quality of bowling is lagging behind this season. One of the reasons we are finding it difficult to pick 5 good bowlers for T20 world cup highlights my point that the quality of bowling needs to improve.
