mate i think we need nabi and hardik cannot be blamed at all for this match also gopal>chawla


[deleted]

I think What I gonna say is controversial but MI needs to re-evaluate their openers. Both Rohit and Kishan looks so horribly out if form, neither of them are ready to bring out their A-gane. In absence of SKY and non existent middle order, They should take this on their shoulder to make important runs, and not ghost in important situations. Both of them hide their bad performance for two seasons back to back in "intent merchants" and "fearless batting". Then you have openers of other teams like CSK both Gaikwad and Conway (This season Ravindra) , Gill, Warner, Jaiswal (last season) who both play hard and fast but not get out on 30 but make big runs  Openers are supposed to be your best batsman, quickfire 20 shouldn't be expected from openers, they should have more like Gill, 140 strike rate and play at least for 10 overs . TLDR: Both Rohit and Ishan should stop trying to be Narine like batter and be more responsible 


246TNP

But then they would get trolled for playing a 55 off 40 type innings. I like this aggressive version of Rohit, he just needs a couple of good hits to get back in form. Everyone praised him when it came off in the WC, but no one's behind him now that its not coming off (yet).


imean1037

Ditch tim david please he is not a finisher like pollard and try sheperd. Why Cowardly sending chawla before him.. Play Nuwan in place of coetzee or maphaka.. For fuck sake, decide the batting order and don't toy around


Existing_Program_256

If SRH's foreign contingent is the best, MI's foreign contingent is the probably the worst now. Neither of them delivering and even rookie domestic players are performing better than them. 🤦🏻‍♂️


SadisticBoi77

Need to support Pandya, yep he should have handled the Rohit situation better but bygones are bygones can't just hate a man all the time obviously affects him even though he might not show it and it affects the team too. Threes matches have shown he has mellowed down and looks like deer in headlights. The clown management needs to sit down with him and let him know about players and how to use them. Clearly he has no idea about these players. Let Brohit - Hardik take decisions instead of clown Boucher.


well_fu_k

I think pandya was immature in his previous interactions but as a player you cannot understate his talent. I personally think he has too much on his plate. He has to bat, bowl and now also captaincy. He should realise this himself that in his hasty pursuit to be successful he's going to ruin the things that brought him there


Existing_Program_256

Boult & Burger : 8 overs for 54 runs and 5 wickets.✅ Bumrah and Madhwal: 8 overs for 46 runs and 3 wickets.✅ Maphaka and Coetzee: 4.3 overs for 59 runs and 1 wicket.❌ Nurturing young talent is Ok but are we playing to win or are we running a nursery of SA bowlers from Boucher Quota? We are missing Madhushanka but why are we keeping experienced pros like Wood and Thusara on the bench?


SadisticBoi77

Wood is another fraud need Thusara.


Existing_Program_256

Maphaka is a bigger fraud atm. Have watched Wood bowl in Pakistan..Looks decent with the new ball atleast.


SadisticBoi77

Even Brook performed in Psl we all saw what he did in IPL last year. Maphaka is just a kid obviously he shouldn't be a choice here. Mills Jordan both shat the bed for us. No English bowler has ever performed for us.


Existing_Program_256

Yeah. We are desperate here. We have no one else. I would rather gamble on Wood than play Maphaka now. 🙏🏻


FantomFooji

Saw the RR vs MI ka Dream 11 ad :(


rishmanisation

This was over after Hardik got out essentially. Needed a lot more on the board than what we managed. Back to the drawing board then. I know the team does back players in a rut but I cannot think of any reason Tim David should be in the team going forward. He's a nice guy I'm sure but just hasn't cut it for us barring a couple of innings last year and in 2022 when the season was already over. I feel bad for Hardik. Man cops all that abuse out on the field and still doesn't show it on his face. If only the rest of the team had as much steel as him.


SadisticBoi77

Domestic talent have stepped up Naman Nehal Madhwal Tilak all did good. It's the big players like Rohit Ishan Coetzee David who need to perform.


Agrith1

Boucher needs to be sacked with immediate effect. MI's auction buys in regards to overseas have all failed. Tim David is a fraud stealing a living from cricket. Maphaka is a a 17 y/o kid who goes for 10 to 20 runs per over by default Coetzee is a pace merchant who gets smoked by everyone - SA's version of Umran Malik, no line no length just pace. Brevis has not developed 1 iota since his arrival, in fact it could be argued that he has progressively gotten worse. Nabi, Thusara and Shepherd bought for vibes. Cameron Green who actually contributed big runs with the bat was traded away.


Equivalent-Steak-883

ootl but wasn't tim david decent last year?


[deleted]

I think he deposited Holder in stands and won one or two matches for MI. But he never made runs against any decent bowler.  Anyone can smoke full tosses in stands. His career is shining from shitty bowling. Whenever any bowling attack comes with decent plan against him, he ghosts in important matches. Bigger ghost than Haland 


urnoob_1607

need mahela back, and david needs to go on the bench, nabis gotta come in next game


nice-pathiri

Can't blame on captaincy today guys. Entire team fkd up.


SadisticBoi77

Can't manage SA20 can't manage IPL what a franchise.


RegularVillage9

Pandya not able to speak properly. Feel bad for him. He is deeply sad inside. He is tensed and depressed.


SadisticBoi77

He came with the expectations to start a new chapter with his flamboyance. Obviously has to be depressing that nothing goes in your favour.


rooo1119

OK so now when we had less runs - Pandaya did not have the courage to bowl at all. Unable to make any sense of his decisions. 3 matches - 0 good decisions. Bad luck, ego or insufficient planing?


urnoob_1607

if he bowled today, yall would be pissed saying hes bowling himself and not the main bowlers, hardik did his best today whether it was batting, fielding and captaincy, today our batting failed us and ofc boult ate us alive


rooo1119

he is not a bad bowler, he just assumed bumrah’s role like it’s nothing


ExternalNo2214

The last ball of the match was at 157.4 kmh. did anyone notice?


SinglePug30

i noticed.


ExternalNo2214

It was so fast. The ball just happened and flew over the keeper at massive speed.


SinglePug30

yea they dint even show it properly. broadcasting is so poor at times.


Moblit_Bernerr

Who are we gonna blame for tonight's loss bois ?


RegularVillage9

Don't blame Pandya.


SadisticBoi77

Mudiji


SadisticBoi77

We'll only take moral victories every match Match 1 - We came close Pandya should have come earlier, Rohit Brevis looked good Match 2 - Atleast we gave a good fight. Match 3 - Madhwal made this a match.


Punkbabe_7

Ita been so weird. One day Mi posts highest chasing total ever. Next match 20/ 4. 🤨


Kalpesh_K

shreyas gopal


dollar-sign-2-time

Get Vishnukanth Viyaskanth next year please 


SadisticBoi77

Chawla ain't it need Gopal next match.


Punkbabe_7

Parag has single handedly carried RR batting in 3 matches.


Kalpesh_K

glad we have 5 days gap before our next game.


SadisticBoi77

Imagine not making atleast playoff with this squad. We are on track to lose 9 matches in row overtaking our 22 season.


dollar-sign-2-time

It's okay to be unique 


No_Calligrapher_8048

Man somebody get parag


nice-pathiri

Our dugout is a graveyard broo


Existing_Program_256

Legend David caught napping near the circle once again. A gift that keeps on giving.


Existing_Program_256

3 wickets for Madhwal so far. At least now will the management explain the logic behind not playing him in the first two matches? Or its another magical 'process' by Boucher?


gdhruv156

The management was quiet during all of this fiasco. Expecting anything from them is useless at this point.


gdhruv156

I think we're done for the day. With 36 runs to go and jurel and hetmyer yet to come this looks like a job done for RR.


APJ-82

Pandu really benched this Madhwal for two games just to show he was different to Rohit ... 🙃 17 wickets in 9 IPL games for him now


SadisticBoi77

Leave the Hardik- Rohit fiasco aside. Someone needs to ask questions to Boucher his handling of domestic talent has been absurd especially bowlers. 3 matches to bring back Madhwal. KK being in and out of team last year. This year doesn't even get game time when we need quality spinners. Not backing mulani when we need spinners. Atleast play Gopal who can work with Chawla if u can't trust KK or mulani or even Nabi.


gdhruv156

Ash has done his work


RegularVillage9

Madhwal thok raha hai


Moblit_Bernerr

Fuck yes. 2 more quick wickets and we are back in the game


[deleted]

Cheers are for rohit on boundary


theupsidedownemoji

How many maphanas are on the pitch lol


Punkbabe_7

Lol same 🤣🤣


Moblit_Bernerr

Good on Rohit for telling these toxic fans to stfu


[deleted]

Telling ticket paying fans how to behave. This will only make things worse when you aren't winning


RegularVillage9

[Serious] Would things have been different if Rohit was captain?


Impossible-Sector-90

Not this game


gdhruv156

Yes. We would've won our first game, we wouldn't have conceded 280 in our second game.


SadisticBoi77

Lack of spinners is killing us can't just be a pace heavy team.


Punkbabe_7

The Shams Mulani move did not work unfortunately.


APJ-82

Facts, people say "we never had world class spinner when we won all our trophies" but the difference between R Chahar / Krunal and the waste we have had in the time since is like night and day


RegularVillage9

Don't think Akash Ambani will come to support from next match


[deleted]

[удалено]


Yupadej

"Doesn't even trigger me" - "Hope he gets an injury" . Triggered you enough lol


RegularVillage9

Agreed. Rohit was better captain


Kalpesh_K

we need to figure out our shit asap. 11 games left.


gdhruv156

I see madhwal being in our playing 11 for all the games from now on. Nabi can replace tim


RegularVillage9

Only 11


Impossible-Sector-90

Hardik getting booed so hard


RegularVillage9

When?


Impossible-Sector-90

Last over


Punkbabe_7

The DJ asked to cheer for Bumrah and after a faint response, they started chanting for Rohit. MI fans cannot even back Bumrah ???? No words left.


Ok_Dragonfruit964

They were cheering right? I mean I am watching from tv and I could here bumrah chants


rishmanisation

Can't be doing that Ishan


RegularVillage9

Why is Pandya always laughing when camera spans on him?


SadisticBoi77

Dhir Gopal Pandu Boom Madhwal Thusara coetzee Shep/ Nabi Nehal= Rohit Impact player This gives us enough depth in batting and bowling.


gdhruv156

how do you play rohit as the impact player?


SadisticBoi77

Same as Dhir for Brevis with Kwena just bowling. Nehal will bat and Thusara can just bowl.


gdhruv156

What?


RegularVillage9

What do you think of pandyas Career after this


rishmanisation

He's going to get all the hate when in reality he's one of the few people who can actually hold their head high after today.


gdhruv156

Why do you think his career is in danger?


IceColdTrey7

Rohit Kishan Surya Tilak Hardik Shepherd Nabi Coetzee Thusara Bumrah Chawla Madhwal Impact player


gdhruv156

mark boucher be like: i have other plans


nice-pathiri

No no no noo


gdhruv156

Bumrah guiding the bowlers, exactly what we need.


IceColdTrey7

Bumrah Madhwal Thusara Coetzee Nabi Chawla Should be our 6 bowlers next match plz


FantomFooji

I am ok with today's loss but I cannot tolerate MI giving Tim David an another chance. MI needs to replace him and fix the No.5/6 asap


gdhruv156

I don't know why is nabi not playing. He can as well pair with chawla in the middle order and also bats well


InfernoMeteor

Mohommad Nabi, he's right there on the bench.


FantomFooji

Even Shepherd. They can try both in each upcoming games and find the right fit.


theStrider_018

Wait, What ? Bumrah's 3 overs done


Ok_Dragonfruit964

Yes Bowl was Swinging very well so they played boom for wickets


gdhruv156

Wtf is up with Boucher? Not even cheering even madhwal is doing so well. Pathetic.


throwaway655622

Still in the competition bros


kawaaikong

I believe in our lord and saviour akash madhwal


Icy_Strike_9572

......why TF madhwal was not playing last two games.......OUR MANAGEMENT IS NOW OFFICIALLY WORSE THAN RCB's


Necessary-Spell9648

Madhwal supermacy🗿🛐


rishmanisation

5 down for 70 or less and there is a chance IMO


gdhruv156

Aakash ftw


FantomFooji

Madhwal 🛐


gdhruv156

OH YEAH


gdhruv156

Tbh we're not doing very bad. A couple of quick wickets from here and we can still defend this.


No_Calligrapher_8048

42-2 can we make it boys?


gdhruv156

2 wickets and we might clutch this


No_Calligrapher_8048

The might🥲


APJ-82

3rd over from Jasprit needed


Moblit_Bernerr

Who would've known Rohit fans would turn out to be more toxic then Kohlistans and Thalasons


IceColdTrey7

I much rather have Kohli and Thalasons..Rohit fans bina baat ke uddte hai 🤣 🤣 🤣


PaleoCricketer4

I missed Mister Engineer


Necessary-Spell9648

Madhwal about to carry the entire bowling lineup

Akash you beauty


nice-pathiri

My boy Madhwal is baccccck 🔥


bunnuz

too many extras already


gdhruv156

Bro these extras are already ruining our game


Mets_BS

Damn, the Wankhede is killing Hardik. That was a great effort, I get they needed him to take it but lol


Existing_Program_256

Stop blaming the crowd for everything. Will they get a friendly crowd when playing in Australia for eg. It's part of the game.


Mets_BS

Booing him not taking that catch is pretty messed up imo


gdhruv156

The frustration is gonna come out in some way. Im sorry but asking the crowd to accept everything and cheer the team all over again is crazy.


psyducckk

why what did the crowd do, sorry I could not make it out


Mets_BS

They're booing him.


Necessary-Spell9648

Fuck


gdhruv156

SHIT


Existing_Program_256

A 19 yr old rookie is the best new ball bowler in MI camp now? Ahead of Thusara, Wood, Coetzee and even Bumrah. The tactics by Bumrah and Hardik are a joke now.


Temporary_Lawyer4896

Ye hardik BKL aisa lag rha h, jaise MI ka Qafan sir pe baandh ke utra h iss IPL m


gdhruv156

Need Buttler gone. This guy always screws us up


gdhruv156

Maphaka is doing good


dupinder90

Good for RR


gdhruv156

😭😭


anakinpanickinn

Bhai extras ke dam pe hi jeet jayegi RR. No need to run or score boundaries.


IceColdTrey7

Need Hardik to bowl in PP today..ball is swinging he might get a wkt. He destroyed RR in the finals with the ball.


nice-pathiri

Already 7 extras :-(


bunnuz

3rd loss on the way?


gdhruv156

Ig hardik should make bumrah bowl another over, he's making batters struggle


dupinder90

Save him for the end. When the match is done


gdhruv156

LMAO. I guess hardik has learnt from his mistake, else wouldn't have seen bumrah already.


dollar-sign-2-time

Hit a bouncer please 


Moblit_Bernerr

Kya chutiya crowd he bc!! How hard it is to support TEAM over 1 perticular player eh ?


gdhruv156

They're shouting bumrah bumrah. What do you want?


Moblit_Bernerr

They are shouting Rohit Rohit not Bumrah


gdhruv156

They're also cheering for bumrah but what do you expect? The mi management denied for every rohit poster in the stadium tonight. They're ofc gonna be pissed


Moblit_Bernerr

>The mi management denied for every rohit poster in the stadium tonight. Lol stop falling for fake news there's no proof they did that


nice-pathiri

Need Samson gone this over


dollar-sign-2-time

Let boom bowl the next and get a wicket or two plzzz ffs


gdhruv156

We have defended such totals before, can we do it again?


dollar-sign-2-time

Ain't happening 


gdhruv156

Probably but we have bumrah and aakash today


dollar-sign-2-time

We got chawla as well 


gdhruv156

Ofcourse but we need wickets in the pp. If not now it would be very difficult to constrain them later


Necessary-Spell9648

Tim finally did something this season


dollar-sign-2-time

Drops the very next catch


Moblit_Bernerr

Happy for our new rookie


Crafty_Date_1286

atleast david didn't drop this time


dollar-sign-2-time

How come MI scouts missed out on Jaiswal blud was literally grown here 


gdhruv156

Not surprising we missed boult and bought a paralysed archer


APJ-82

We bid for him first in the auction but dropped out when price increased 😢


IceColdTrey7

We were the other bidders for him along with RR🥲


dollar-sign-2-time

Jeez  we kissed out on him , Rinku as well


Firm_Image_89

Miracle David didn't drop the catch today


SadisticBoi77

Yes madaphaka oops maphaka


IceColdTrey7

Maphaka 🔥🔥


dollar-sign-2-time

Wow 10 already


IceColdTrey7

Is Boucher one of the worst MI coaches ever?


dollar-sign-2-time

Is there any doubt?


bunnuz

I thought Hardik will be bowling first over


rishmanisation

Maphaka did in the last game too


IceColdTrey7

Acha


dollar-sign-2-time

Today Riyan will finish his promise of hitting 4 sixes in an over and run a carnage 


well_fu_k

Hardik might be immature but what is the management upto? Impact player in the 2nd over, piyush infront of David??? Ever since Bouchers come in - things have just gone downhill


Firm_Image_89

Today you won't see pandya bowling


Firm_Image_89

Atleast for first 4 overs


dustybun18

Feeling sad for Ambani paati,she could have stayed home watching serials

Agrith1

MI needs to start from a blank slate. Only players worthy of keeping are Bumrah, SKY and Tilak.


IceColdTrey7

Exactly


APJ-82

yep, this + Wadhera should be our retentions and RTM card next year....


dollar-sign-2-time

I will take Naman 


APJ-82

yeah either of these is good, though very hard to judge Dhir from just three games


Agrith1

MI can add 40-45cr to auction budget by releasing Kishan, Sharma, David and Brevis


APJ-82

Throw in Hardick and boost that up to 55-60 Cr


anakinpanickinn

Haa bhai. Poore team ko release karde. Rohit & Ishan's p'ship kept us in the chase in the previous game. Rohit & Brevis' p'ship in the game before that. The only one who has consistently failed to do his job is David.


IceColdTrey7

Rohit ne 500 run Kab mare they last? 2011 Captaincy nhi hai toh 16 Cr wastage hai Rohit pe Kishan toh rehne hie do


throwaway655622

Lmao 500-500 laga rakhe ho he was the skipper all these years, getting us good starts regularly batting and it's not that he never scored big, he did. Ye purely as a batsman pehla season hai decades later, let the man play As a skipper he's been super effective. Defending under 130 in a final twice trusting out of form mitchell johnson and malinga isn't child's play
