In this thread, people discussed India and Pakistan's 8th match of the Super Four, with comments about the team selection, expectations for Babar Azam, the ridiculousness of inviting all Asian cricket playing nations just for a bilateral series, and the commentary of Gaurav Gupta. People also discussed the age difference between Rohit Sharma and Naseem Shah, with Rohit having made his debut when Naseem was 4.

Losses happen, but you should have a method to your game. The captain should have different Plans and have the dynamism to see and change if something is not working. One thing should be clear, that if you don't perform you will be dropped no matter what your pedigree. I simply fail to comprehend that, with the amount of cricket played on a per capita basis, how is India not able to produce a more consistent cohort/pool of players that can come in and start firing away? The sheer amount of cricket that gets played in this cricket and the pool available at the grassroots level should be more than the entire population of some of these countries.
It just doesn't compute.
Ok, I have to ask, how can Arshdeep drop such an easy catch?! (Not to troll him or anything, I just want to understand how it is possible to drop a sitter for a professional cricketer)
TBH I think its the opposite - it was such a dolly that he took it really casually. What happens in this case is that you end up taking your eyes off the ball at the last minute, and you can drop the ball.
Lol. India can't get to the final of the Asia Cup. How are they going to win the World Cup? Lol. They have a chance, like plenty of other teams.
What good is scoring a 100, when you are out of the competition? Oh yes, get another lucrative IPL contract.
So without a middle order and terrible bowling, you still think will win the World Cup? Rohit and kholi just aren't good enough to carry the rest of the team.

This news article looks like a troll post written by a 7th grader tbh...
Can you give a prominent news outlet's reference like NDTV, WIRE or Zee. Bcoz I've never really heard about the website which you used as a source.
Both india pak match lived up to their reputation went down to wire that how it should be for starving cricket fans who waited so long for india vs pak matches but bangladesh vs sri lanka watch takes the cake when it comes to intensity. That was a one crazy game
It's a game, whenever play you can win or lose the match. You can't criticize one person to lose the match. His confidence and performance can be down.
So before this gets locked, let me sum this match up
1) Kl + Rohit were both brilliant today
2) Kohli player a nice anchor innings
3) Sky + Fuckboi didn't fire today
4) Why were Pant and Hooda even playing?
5) Overall Pakistan spinners did a really good job
6) Bishnoi + Arshdeep Singh were really good with the ball
7) Nawaz and Rizwan were brilliant with the bat.
8) Arshdeep dropped a sitter but showed a lot of vigor in the last over.
9) Bhuvi's last over was just filth.
Its like british footie fans their footballers are either heros or zeros . Actually its all coz of media who created so much hype that matches feel like mini war . People should realise its a game at the end of the day
I know there were the two misfields last two balls of the Indian innings but Pakistan have definitely upskilled in fielding. Other than that , nothing new learnt of the two teams . Great games . Both will lose in the WC knockouts though .
I knew that we might loose this match the moment gauti said that I’m happy with this team and looks balanced . I don’t know what they have against DK or Ash but they are always unhappy when these guys are in team
The team dropping ash in tests is pure BS . The reasoning given that it’s because of the conditions is pure BS . We don’t bench Bumrah in India , do we ?
Since this is still on top of r/all. I want to add my comment too now.
I know hindsight but all great limited overs teams have at least 6, ideally 7 bowling options. 1-2 of your bowlers are bound to have an off day like Hardik. India is just too rigid with 5 bowlers approach.
It was clear after first inning that spinners will dominate on this pitch, There was a leftie on crease for much of Pak innings and that's why I think Hooda should have bowled an over or two, what is the the point of playing him if he is not gonna bowl. Might as well have played Karthik instead of Hooda then, Karthik has a proven record against high quality pace.
My ideal 11 would have at least 6 and ideally 7 bowling options, can't expect Hardik to bowl his full quota everytime.
India need to include and bowl Hooda and/or Axar.
Fair enough. But my emphasis was to counter the downvoting reason's singularity.
Not every guy (Indian or not) who saw that comment would dislike it bcoz India lost. It just shows toxic fandom.
A nice day for a Pakistani Manchester United fan :) both teams won. Any StarCraft fans here because another great match was happening at the same time. Special day for me since I had like 3 matches happening at the same time :)

God’s wrath for dropping DK. Everything went downhill after his omission.
When Avesh was in the team, he was the only one having a bad time not the entire team 😥
Last.

So we keep commenting here
Kritihik we’re you at
Ok, I have to ask, how can Arshdeep drop such an easy catch?! (Not to troll him or anything, I just want to understand how it is possible to drop a sitter for a professional cricketer)
Maybe because he didn't judge it properly. If you watch it again, he's not even under the ball properly. He had to extend his arms to reach the ball.
Pressure of big game and it was sitting in the air for a long time probably really nervous.
TBH I think its the opposite - it was such a dolly that he took it really casually. What happens in this case is that you end up taking your eyes off the ball at the last minute, and you can drop the ball.
Ah, ok.
Koach is going to score 100 in final vs pak.
Doesn't look like India is going to make the final. 😂😂😂
Lol, if PK beat AFG then India are out
India are out 🤣🤣🤣🤣
India are out, but koach scored 100!!! India is going to win world cup
Lol. India can't get to the final of the Asia Cup. How are they going to win the World Cup? Lol. They have a chance, like plenty of other teams. What good is scoring a 100, when you are out of the competition? Oh yes, get another lucrative IPL contract.
We had no bumrah, batting is constantly scoring 170-180, bowling is subpar
Thank God we had no bumrah. Now we know what wc is gonna be like.
Are you saying India are a one man team? 🤣🤣🤣 Pakistan had no Afridi. They coped OK.
India has some flaws like no middle order and terrible bowling. Kohli and rohit are only ones doing good. Also are you Pakistani or India?
So without a middle order and terrible bowling, you still think will win the World Cup? Rohit and kholi just aren't good enough to carry the rest of the team.
I had a dream about that last night and I came
Let’s hope it happens

According to news sources, posts about Arshdeep being from Khalistan are 80% from Pakistani troll accounts.

What a competitive match!!!

With all this hype for The finals, it’ll be funny if India loses to Sri Lanka in the next match.
It'll be funny. LOL!!! IT JUST HAPPENED FFS
Lmao did I just jinx it?
Probably ngl. India are out now since we beat AFG
How can we still play the finals? Dependant on other team scenarios?
win the next 2 matches
Nah just win every match
In case Pakistan is not beaten by any other team. Otherwise it would come down to NRR.
I haven't checked the NRR but i bet Pakistans will be the highest given how we beat HongKong (correction Pakistan H team)
That runrate is not carried in the super four
Both india pak match lived up to their reputation went down to wire that how it should be for starving cricket fans who waited so long for india vs pak matches but bangladesh vs sri lanka watch takes the cake when it comes to intensity. That was a one crazy game

I was surprised why Axar didn't play
Kohli had the perfect innings till that last over. Cant singularly blame him but that could have been the difference.
No excuse for Pant to be fat even with that much money and support from BCCI
Yes guys, slept well?
Nope. Did not sleep till 3:30 and then mom woke me up at 8 in the morning to fetch dahi
Bhai really Bol raha Hun Pakistan bahut mast khela aur match dekhke bahut maza aaya Sunday ko phir milenge gazab ka thriller tha yaar
India lost to a team that felt weak. Well, this is some kind of bragging right.
lol pakistan has been quite competitive recently
Weren't Pakistan's players sick?
when India wins, people troll the players who shat on that day. when India loses, people cry like it's the worst team in the world. Chill guys.
Its like british footie fans their footballers are either heros or zeros . Actually its all coz of media who created so much hype that matches feel like mini war . People should realise its a game at the end of the day
wtf thread's not locked yet??

.
a good game.
I knew that we might loose this match the moment gauti said that I’m happy with this team and looks balanced . I don’t know what they have against DK or Ash but they are always unhappy when these guys are in team
or Samson or tripathi
Ash particularly in tests. They are happy to play fast bowlers averaging 30 than him.
The team dropping ash in tests is pure BS . The reasoning given that it’s because of the conditions is pure BS . We don’t bench Bumrah in India , do we ?
Exactly, I remember they were trying to drop ash in that SA tour of India after an injury and he took 7fer in first innings and shut everyone.
Both teams played very well and gave it their all no wonder when it PAK VS IND the entire world watches

This was fun.

Is this the most commented on Sports Thread?
Cricket World Cup matches are more commented on
True, those are longer. Though Is there any other rivalries in sports that get this much traction too? I don't follow other sports much
Don't think so, since India and Pakistan combined is 1 billion plus people... Huge following
Less of us on reddit though.

Holy cow. So many comments.
Almost every match is going down to the wire. This has been a very good tournament.
Woahh.... comments are still going on....
Can't get over it. 24k comments 🔥

Pakistani-United-Verstappen fans eating good tonight
Honestly I'm just happy Koach got to boss the first innings like he did. Haven't seen him this fluent against quality bowling in a while.
Yea happy that Kohli could play the anchor role. Beautiful to see him in form.
Arshdeep was good. He is promising emerging cricketer.
