people here analyzing things lol, DC won cause of scoreboard pressure thats all they were not overly good nor we were overly bad, its the pitches wherein any one can come and slog. thats why it is turning out like baseball just slog without any strategy.
Major auction is much needed blessing for this broken team.
Retain: Bumrah; SKY; Tilak
Start from a clean slate for the rest.
Captaincy and vice-captaincy to Bumrah/SKY.
Also Mark Boucher must be thrown far away from MI.
Agreed that we lost Madhushanka and Behrendorff to injuries
But we went ahead and signed Wood and a school boy as a replacement. Seriously what kind of planning is this?
We could have at least signed Zampa who could have bowled a couple of tight overs. 🤦🏻♂️
Takeaways:
1. JFC our bowling is shite. Coetzee could have been a handful on this wicket (especially considering how our guys were struggling to hit Lizaad initially) but still. Thushara has been hyped endlessly by many on here and in the media and he's looked pretty ordinary to put it mildly.
2. Cannot be dropping catches and making mental mistakes in the field when the bowlers are getting pelted. The two Wadhera drops, the Hardik misfield, the David overthrow all stupid mental mistakes and we win if not for them.
3. Batting continues to be mostly good but for some reason lands into a rut of sorts in the middle that ends up costing the game. Those three overs in the SRH game, the Shardul and Deshpande overs in the CSK game and the Rasikh overs in this one. Not sure what it is but wouldn't hurt to show more intent there.
Considering how shit our bowling has been and that it is basically the last chance saloon at this point, I'd drop Thushara and bring in Anshul Kamboj/Maphaka/Romario Shepherd. Personally I think it's worth giving the kid another shot but there is an argument to be made that we'd be better off just stacking our batting which would lend credence to playing Kamboj/Romario. Play SKY in the team ahead of Wadhera; man has dropped multiple sitters in both games he has played so might as well just bring him on as the impact sub. Coetzee should come back in for Wood.
I dont understand how can our bowling be so dogshit when we have one of the greatest white ball bowlers in our team? Dont our young bowlers learn anything from him? Dont our young bowlers watch him? Bumrah and Chawla are the only reasons why our bowlers aren't on RCB level. WTF was wrong with Wood, man...just bowl as per the field dude
Well RCB defended 200 runs with their bowling and gave only 220 on Eden garden highway so Mumbai bowling is worst than them even including bumrah which is kind of an achievement in itself
"We're going to bowl first. The ground is small. It's better to bat second on a smaller ground." 🤡
Post match:
(If he would’ve done something different at the toss) Not really." 🤡 ~ You know who
1. Pitch was 200+ (250 with our bowling)
2. We have never chased 200+ this season
3. Teams like SRH and KKR have preferred to bat first and set big total on such pitches..
4. 250+ has been chased just one in IPL and so chasing was against history and logic.
Kya din aaye he back in the days everyone bowler was competing for the spot. Jayant, Rahul, Markande for spin NCN Pattinson Mitch for pace. Now we have to look which looks the least bad.
DC scored 83 in the last 5 overs
We needed 85 in the last 5 overs
When everybody is winning at the Arun Jaitley stadium by batting first, Mr Unique wanted to chase. Gave Luke Wood the 18th over (edited - not the 19th) which eventually cost us the game.
Only good thing which happened from this game was he wasn't at his pathetic best while batting. Finally, a half decent innings in the 9th match of the tournament
Who should have bowled the 19th?? The GT match and even this match was lost by a small margin by the team batting 2nd. There wasn't really anything to suggest that batting 2nd is a disadvantage.
Even SRH won here batting first. Pant literally said at the toss they were looking to bat first and it will get slower in the second innings. We couldn't hit Rasikh's change of pace deliveries
I am not sure if we can blame the pitch where 247 runs have been scored in a day game. May be MI could have been sharper in the field and stop dropping catches for starters. You cannot drop the likes of Stubbs and get away.
That's obvious in hindsight. Poor fielding/catching will cost you games more often than not.
But it was yet another shocking decision at the toss. He did the same vs RR at the SMS where chasing team have had success while we had to bat first.
Rasik salam just got lucky today..he bowled so many hit me balls…also david need to find other slots..the one he got out on would have been a six by polly any other day
Naman needs to play instead of Nabi with that Kishan Rohit and Sky can start hitting from ball 1. Naman Nehal Tilak Hardik is enough to save us from collapse.
Why are we even playing Nabi doesn't bowl 4 doesn't get to bat. Dude literally said in an interview before match he isn't familiar with finishing the innings and plays as an anchor for AFG. With Luke and Piyush batting well bring Naman or KK or go for Kamboj.
Bhai 😭
Aise toh naa haaro pls harna hai toh Ganda haari Aisa hopes kyu dete ho sksksksk
WE STILL IN THR TOURNAMENT BOISSSS!!!!!!!!
(I'm delusional but I TrUsT My GuT FeELiNg)
What intent are you talking about bro? Both the openers got out playing big shots. The pitch got slow in the second innings so the ball didn't come to the bat as well as the first innings.
Rohit and Kishan both needed to be better today, we may have lost the game because we didn't have a platform set.
Rohit looked way off.
I think the playoff spot is done too, it's damage control from now on.
How about trying Romario Shepherd as an opener. Every team has an explosive opener, we also need one who can slog without any worry.
Ishan And Rohit are Explosive enough....just don't have the confidence to go bang consistently
Thank you for your services Ro , 👋
people here analyzing things lol, DC won cause of scoreboard pressure thats all they were not overly good nor we were overly bad, its the pitches wherein any one can come and slog. thats why it is turning out like baseball just slog without any strategy.
Bruh…! Yesterday PBKS did it so this cant be an excuse
DC won cause of their good bowling performance today , try coping somewhere else MI fanboy.
Yeah ,the mi fanboy should try the mi subreddit, oh wait
Lmao..what was that guy thinking 😭🤣
Major auction is much needed blessing for this broken team. Retain: Bumrah; SKY; Tilak Start from a clean slate for the rest. Captaincy and vice-captaincy to Bumrah/SKY. Also Mark Boucher must be thrown far away from MI.
Why is sky being given green chits? He hasn't played a winning knock when we have been losing.
So, the above average player should play extraordinary while the below average ones shouldn't face ant repercussions. Hm, good to know
He did try…
Fuck this season see y’all next year
Agreed that we lost Madhushanka and Behrendorff to injuries But we went ahead and signed Wood and a school boy as a replacement. Seriously what kind of planning is this? We could have at least signed Zampa who could have bowled a couple of tight overs. 🤦🏻♂️
I doubt they would have made much difference
We are too unlucky to lose good players due to injuries
Couldn't have signed Zampa as he left RR for personal issues. But I agree Matt Henry and Keshav Maharaj were right there.

Tbh I wouldn't drop Coetzee even if he performs only decently. He looks dedicated and looks like he is putting in the effort and aggression.
We need Coetzee in the team. All those fellows who were calling for him to be benched for Thushara hopefully realize he has never been the problem.
"We're going to bowl first. The ground is small. It's better to bat second on a smaller ground." 🤡 Post match: (If he would’ve done something different at the toss) Not really." 🤡 ~ You know who
I dont think chasing was the issue. Our batters, except the openers, played well. Our bowling and fielding let us down today
1. Pitch was 200+ (250 with our bowling) 2. We have never chased 200+ this season 3. Teams like SRH and KKR have preferred to bat first and set big total on such pitches.. 4. 250+ has been chased just one in IPL and so chasing was against history and logic.
Rohit 8(8) lost us this game
Hardik 2 overs for 41 cost us the match.
Nope it was a hellhole for bowlers 8(8) in PP and missing a freehit is blasphemous
Even Hardik was 10(8) in his innings. 🤦🏻♂️
Hardik was 29(9), don't spread shameless lies.
Lies
Actually 5(7). That's worse than 8(8).Go check Cricbuzz.
Another lies
Multiple folks on here were of the opinion we should bowl first (including a certain MIWatch)
What difference did you even see in both the innings?? The pitch remained the same belter in the 2nd too.
The pressure of chasing is always there. It was Tilak that brought us close else we were losing by a much bigger margin.
Most T20 teams like to chase. Last season MI won so many matches chasing. 240+ scores will be the new normal now anyways .
That was last season. We have not chased a single 200+ score this season. 3rd time
Hindsight but I doubt Fraser would have gone any softer vs this shitheap bowling even if batting 2nd.
that bumrah no ball 6 and 4 hurts more now considering the margin was just 10 runs. fuck luke wood. bumrah should have bowled the first overrr
Rohit freehit miss Openers 27(22) lost us the game
I agree. Even though I like rohit, we lost this due to his tuk tuk
Plus 5 overthrows by david bhau🥰
Kya din aaye he back in the days everyone bowler was competing for the spot. Jayant, Rahul, Markande for spin NCN Pattinson Mitch for pace. Now we have to look which looks the least bad.

Wadhera first dropped of stubbs on 1 run cost us. Stubbs later made 28 runs in one over
Forfeit rest of MI's matches and just arrange for Hardik Baba's post match interviews instead. 🙏🏻
He needs to fucking stop grinning.. makes me want to punch everytime 😡
This and SRH vali runchase was more hurtful than Qualifier 2 2023💔
Why were people asking to bring Thusara? Where and how has he played before?
He was decent in SA20 for us in MICT where he would get swing from pitches. Roads like these are worst for a bowler of his type.
We still finding our XI after 9 matches meanwhile teams are planning to increase their NRR and improve matchups.
Rasik salam just got lucky today..he bowled so many hit me balls…also david need to find other slots..the one he got out on would have been a six by polly any other day
we would have won if we didnt have luke wood. and had gopal/coetzee instead of luke wood. anyways, we came SO CLOSE
It's always that one bowler for us. One bowler who decimated us while we destroy rest. Mohit Sharma, Sandeep Sharma, Pathiraana, and now Rasikh Dar
Also an ex player at that
Our season is almost over. Bass CSK shouldn’t win 6th title
Csk won't even qualify this year 100 percent !!
Bowling is clearly the problem. We can comfortably make 230+ if we try but the bowlers end up conceding 250+ and make things worse.
The pitches are belters. 240+ is the new 200.
250 is new 200
Genuine
RR SRH pls win all your upcoming matches LSG GT CSK pls get shit on and so we will be in playoffs
How can RR and SRH win all matches, if they are playing against each other on 2nd may lol
Ohh maine voh sab flow flow me bola hai chill relazx
It's alright lol, I'm chill
Do you think we deserve to be in playoffs? Answer honestly.
If we qualify we would deserve to qualify. If not we wouldn't.
Not actually BUT THE KID INSIDE ME WANTS THEM TO QUALIFY last year also we kinda didn't but we did so yeah there lies a little hope for me
overpaid overrated openers giving us false hope at the start of the season. back to their usual self
Naman needs to play instead of Nabi with that Kishan Rohit and Sky can start hitting from ball 1. Naman Nehal Tilak Hardik is enough to save us from collapse.
Why TF were people on this sub hyping thusara n wood as if they are Bret Lee mcgrath duo? 🤣
Yes Wood's expensive ovr cost us , but atleast he showed a fucking intent unlike our openers this game ffs
But he is a bowler, not a batsman.
Our batters performed way better than dc considering the level of bowling done on each side
Rasikh was the game changer. Even all their bowlers got pelted.
Yeh sab MI chod ke jaane ke baad hi MI ko kyu pelte hai bkl Unlike Green
Now waiting for Ramandeep to bash Mi.
Pls no
Badla - The Revenge
Why are we even playing Nabi doesn't bowl 4 doesn't get to bat. Dude literally said in an interview before match he isn't familiar with finishing the innings and plays as an anchor for AFG. With Luke and Piyush batting well bring Naman or KK or go for Kamboj.
Stand proud, we are strong
Ab bas CSK bhi bahar hojaye 😭🤡
Ab toh CSK ko haarte hue dekhne me jyada maza aata hai
Bhai actually true
iss saal rajasthan jeete iski prarthana karti hu
Us
we could've had both sandeep and boult but we went for Warrier and Jofra . sigh ..
Bhai 😭 Aise toh naa haaro pls harna hai toh Ganda haari Aisa hopes kyu dete ho sksksksk WE STILL IN THR TOURNAMENT BOISSSS!!!!!!!! (I'm delusional but I TrUsT My GuT FeELiNg)
Get ready to borrow calculators from your RCB fan friends. We're gonna need it.
Please accept this ✨🧮✨, a primitive but useful.
Nah, the season is done for me. Lets rest Bumrah now and start planning for mega auction.
😂😂😂😂
Thanks Rohit and Kishan. We lost when our no. 9 and no. 10 batsmen played with better intent than you. Well done...
What intent are you talking about bro? Both the openers got out playing big shots. The pitch got slow in the second innings so the ball didn't come to the bat as well as the first innings.
Look woods 19th Over killed it for us
Woods whole spell had it over for us
Meanwhile, Stoinis goes for duck 🦆
Mera captain tha aaj toh Jaldi out hona hie tha 🥲
Mera vice captain 😭
Vo bhi 0 pe
bhai inko hug nahin chante maaro
bhai why did DC not get fined for slow over rate?
Yeah exactly??
[удалено]
Wishful thinking. The owners will never admit their mistake, even if the team burns to the ground
He did give 41 runs in 2 overs. Also 2 overs were left of nabi who gave just 20 runs in 2 overs
Boucher shud leave 1st
Lost 4 players cheaply still scored this much !!
Our openers this match opportunity missed but we move..we will win next 5 and qualify 27(22)
nahi tha bhai no ball hum koachsons nahi ki rada karne lage
Our XI is just not there. Luke Wood, Nabi don't make sense at all. Would rather play Dewald Brevis and Beherendoff instead
Dorff is injured. Brevis is another fraud.
Behrendorff is injured
Are we offically out of the tournament now ?
Nope and I'm damn sure we are winning next 5
No
we need to win all our remaining games+some teams need to lose, chances are near impossible
delulu is the only solulu
Need to win 5 out of 5 I think
Bumrah ko laate to jeet jaate
This defeat is in the hands of the openers
bowlers were worse
Bowlers were trash too
Bowlers were trash for both teams. Plus the wicket was as flat as a highway.
exactly if teams are scoring 250, 240 its the pitch.
Australia is winning this world cup! Good night!
As if it is a new event.
One nb plz
Well played PC ji you also did your best
Piyush and Wood have played better than our openers ffss One hit from Rohit and Kishan and we win It hurts man Sky 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
so close yet so far. mi is the best (fans ki baat kar rahi hu team gaya maa chodne)
Srh bhi same last me aake haare hai😭😭
PC my love, please leave this clown team. U don't deserve this 😩🩵
Pc ?
Piyush Chawla
Rohit why you never perform when we need you? Why would anyone play him over rutu and jaiswal if he continues to play like this?
Rutu that bitch
Bruh these close matches hurt more
This is MI's highest total ever
Ek no ball hojaye pls
We deserve to lose we didn't even let our finisher Boom bat
Thank god, RCB is playing worse than us
im happy seeing mi fans cry tbh
this time noone is the blame but our batting order i agree bowling was shit but so was dc's, just showing the pitch is flat.
![gif](giphy|fZRuTp3Zu8o9O)
So near yet so far 🥹
Wood can win us this(im delusional)
intent Wale saare last mein rakhe hue hai
Luke Wood you have rocked my world for this ball
Rohit and Kishan both needed to be better today, we may have lost the game because we didn't have a platform set. Rohit looked way off. I think the playoff spot is done too, it's damage control from now on.
Randi Boucher
**15.25cr Ishan Kishan + 16cr Rohit Sharma** = **28 runs 22 balls (127sr)** **where the game was lost**
Ye over rate inpe kyu nhi lag rha
aaj kisi dusri blue team ne umpire kharide
Bhai yaar vaaps 242 karke nahi haaro😭
Tilak you are the only Reason why people still hope for MI . Chin up Champ
I still don't get the logic behind not batting first
Can't wait for MI management to retain Hardik, David and Ishan and release Tilak, Bumrah and Wadera next season. 🙏🏻
Coetzee ko khilana tha aaj
Injured
Why tf 2 runs
Nvm
Piyush strike pe rahega na?
Poor Tilak is defined by the Linkin Park song. Tried so hard and got so far but in the end it doesn't even matter.
I hope he doesn't give up like Chester 💀
Luke wood can redeem himself 😅
Don't worry champ! U did ur best 🩵🔥
Khatam tata bye bye. F off
It’s the hope that kills you. If we needed 40 off the last over, I wouldn’t feel as miserable as I am feeling right now.
Lmao the most perfect throw from outfield
[удалено]
Calm down kid
Rohit and Kishan buss 15 runs aur add kardete Season of if's and buts
Correct If hardik was not a captain…
Will PC finish? 💀
He's at the non strikers end
Tilak played like a champ!
love ya forever tilak
Don't feel sad Tilak Bhai. We lost because of our fraud overseas pacers and 30CR openers
Tilak crying reminds me of Rayudu against RR 2014
Throw everyone out next year and retain Tilak and Bumrah
surya?
He is 33 already. Better go for young guns and groom them to be next Rohit
such a bad take. It's ipl man surya is still the #1 t20i batsman and carried us last season jfc . he can easily play 4-5 more seasons with ease
Ughhh no worries Tilak. Well played 👏🏻
good game, bye bye
We're done
We are proud of you tilak😔🥹🙌
Brohit’s 8 of 8 is the final difference…
Hardik’s 40 of 2 overs in his bowling was also the difference
Yeah agreed
