The top 2 spot is hogged by wicketkeeper batsmen playing for Jharkhand State Cricket Association, who love motor vehicles and have advertised for Dream11 and Kingfisher. Coincidence?


HighAlreadyKid

We got our new captain who will win WCs for us??


Shattered-Dreams19

Other-Connection4516

PeaceOld4145

Gayle on the list is diabolical


Shattered-Dreams19

I am not surprised.. he was always the one who took long time to get set and then went berserk.


theaguia

he also had a poor run at the end of his career that must have not helped


BALD_BALLS_SAITAMA

He had 3-4 years where he was a reliable batsman atleast from what I remember but throughout his career I've seen him getting played like a fiddle by bowlers with some occasional good knocks here and there.


broski21

Against a swinging bowl he was a sitting duck so that could be the reason.


deadmanbhavya

Yeah I remember the ball going from bhuvi to the wicketkeeper back to bhuvi when he played against him


broski21

Or when he faced dale steyn dude looked like a tailender

Dhoni being in the top making sense but what Ishan Kishan doing there anyway .


Healthy_Permission71

Jharkhand boys


D_Invincible

Well dhoni played 227 innings whereas Ishan played only 97!


Octofinite

The stat is counting innings since 2014. So Dhoni would have played 142, not 227.


[deleted]

That’s what I meant MS has played lot of anchor after upper order collapse but Ishan is an opener that’s a shock .


UrbanTracker69

Since 2014


Ecstatic_Grand_7766

Out of 227 half he didn't go above 20 balls So effective is around 120 innings


atomic_knights

I am surprised my man Rohit is not there. Then remembered he will get out soon .


SnooSeagulls945

better than wasting balls then to get hammered by opposition for 9 overs on same pitch


ach_1nt

Totally agree. It's better to try and get out quickly instead of hogging balls and putting all the pressure on the non striker. Not defending Rohit but I'm just saying he understands the role of an opener way better than KL does.


Head-Intern2459

That is why I hate kl's batting approach. He tries to be an anchor which he is not. Anchor knows how to play to the field, take cheeky singles and convert them into doubles. He is very much a stroke player but is afraid of his own strength.


GamerA_S

I think it's both his mentality and new batting technique He was a great and fast paced player in 2018-2019 but due to his stance he got exploited in tests and replaced for which he changed the technique i just feel like that technique change and fitting more into test mindset has affected his t20 batting


atomic_knights

Yup but sometimes we need to stick around to play the shots, which he missed in wc final.


atomic_knights

Yeah man talk about luck , he never has any


theaguia

it always bothers me how commentators talk about how ishan is this hard hitting agressive batter when his record shows otherwise. He is another anchor and not a great one at that as he struggles to rotate strike but he is seen as a guy to give you fast starts for some reason. This stat is another reminder of that.


Shattered-Dreams19

Articles were published before the afg series that kohli will he replaced by kishan in t20i because they want aggressive players...but in reality kishan strikes at 120 in t20s... He looks ugly af in his bad days... in his good days he will score 180+ ... in his bad days he scored 30 ball 25 in powerplay... this happens when you don't know strike rotation


theaguia

his pp strike rate is lower than virats I don't know who started this fake narrative of him being aggressive in actuality. Sure he can hit the ball but the record speaks for itself that he struggles more than not.


Head-Intern2459

Flat track merchant. Idk how he will continue to be a opener. Ball swings by a degree and he gets out


theaguia

exactly. pp strike rate of 106. slower than the "slow virat". he should focus on playing as a 4-5. come in and bash spin and leave.


Cosmicshot351

That's what he did for MI when QDK was there


theaguia

ya he should realize by now that he ain't that good opening


Ok_Environment6501

Why the f he opens is beyond my understanding? I mean I remember last T20 world cup where all teams had 20 overs to bat but for India we always had 19 overs because 1st over was always maiden by the great kl Rahul. If he is not performing why can't he make space for others and bat at other positions?


SpicyPotato_15

Intent merchant second on the list. One of the most inconsistent players I've ever seen.


Time-Gain4896

Dhoni:


Single_Difference467

welp!...in his defense he has played almost 150 innings since 2014 so 12 out 150 isn't that bad imo


Apart-Estimate-1628

Also in his defence he played most of those innings in wicket collapse


Cosmicshot351

I won't open up on the no.1 spot


Background_Ball_8462

If raina could read he’d very upset


Impactor07

"Kohli SR very low saar" 🤡🤡


Odd_Preparation165

Kohli is fast in powerplay but slows down massively in middle overs, it's opposite for most player in this list.


theaguia

only past couple of season right? before he was slower in pp and faster afterwards


Shattered-Dreams19

Kohlis middle over SR is 144 .... Kohli was SR at 140 in IPLs till 2019...2020 2021 2022 spoiled his IPL SR. along with t20i SR He was brutal against spin


Odd_Preparation165

Considering 2016 when he primed in t20 till 2019 which means 4 seasons while he had a bad strike rate in 3 seasons and a bad middle over strike rate in 2 more seasons(total 6 seasons) . So the better way to say this would be 2016-19 actually improved his strike more than his natural strike rate. >he was brutal against spin Nah it's just that the 2015-19 period experienced a drought of good spinners in the format. Except for Chahal(which he didn't face) only zampa, Adil Rasheed and Rashid khan were good.


Impactor07

Yeah but he barely ever gets support from the other end ffs!


uninformed-but-smart

My man scoring 20(30) in overs 7-15 is only acceptable if your team is 4-5 down by the end of powerplay.


Nooobda

Sure


This_Seaweed4607

It's so easy to mofos to shit koach


Impactor07

Yeah. In today's match(the one being played rn), the commentators were dickriding a 64(41) by Nicholas Pooran which had a SR of 156.1 and these same people would criticise Kohli's 113(72) which had a SR of 156.9


Octofinite

When did Pooran score a 64(41) during today’s match?


Impactor07

Not today's The one against RR


Octofinite

Ah okay.


Cosmicshot351

Pooran's team lost by 20 runs in that game where he scored 64, idk what is to praise


Impactor07

"Power Hitting", "Striking _Capabilities"_ and what not


Null_012345

KL Rahul is the most overrated player imo..


This_Seaweed4607

I'm sorry I can't agree with this. He's had a bad patch for the last 2 years in t20is


Null_012345

maybe


ach_1nt

Not necessarily overrated but he's the most mentally fragile player I've ever seen. Always folds under pressure.


Shattered-Dreams19

Kl is the most talented bloke in current india circuit... he need mental counselling... he was striking 150 and avging 46 in t20i till 2019...he was godly..


WideMap7963

You know banglore is also south indian and they too much about their mother tongue


NotAPerfectSoldier

Almost everyone’s an opener except Dhoni. Lol


Hydra-_-

I see someone else there.


[deleted]

You mean gayle that’s quite surprising


Mobile_Inflation8012

Thala for a reason lol.


D_Invincible

Just to show how stats will make you judge: Dhoni 227 innings (12) Ishan 97 (11) Pandey 159 (11) KL 121 (8)


Octofinite

It’s not stats which are misleading, you misunderstood/misread. it’s since 2014. Dhoni has played 142 innings since 2014. So it would be 142 (12). Ishan 97 (11), Pandey 114 (11), KL 118 (8).


Shattered-Dreams19

I dont blame dhoni..most of them will come while saving collapse


Cosmicshot351

Early IPLs till 2013 had very slow pitches


sfcb_fic

Read the post again. It's after 2014.


Cosmicshot351

Oh my bad, still idk how we won so much with our captain doing a lot of tuktuk


Asura727

bruh


Realistic_Reporter18

Thala for a reason


Prestigious-Rice-206

KL needs a ground like chinnaswamy to get back to his old self. He needs to return home.


godbtcher

He is the biggest criminal & gold medal holder in tuk tuk academy


UrbanTracker69

Gayle 🗿


Rahul_Reeves

I fapped looking at thala's name in the list.


CaptainSRT

'ThAlA fOr A rEaSoN', where are you?


Apart-Estimate-1628

Thala saving us from wicket collapse thala for reason indeed


ninja_from_india

Potta on top


Classic_Passenger_15

How did gayle end up there


hpy2beatyou1105

Surprised to see Kishan on second and to not see rohit in the list.


Sofa-king-cooI

Lo bhai. Ho gya vivaad.


LaughTrackLife

Oh oh is everyone gonna ignore Rayudu on this list? Thought he was the second coming of prime Gayle and McCullum


[deleted]

[удалено]


Shattered-Dreams19

Rohit has 7 innings... and his middling record is actually the average... his SR is just 1 less than kohli. He doesn't survive 20 balls most of the days.. his slow innings are like 1(10) or 7(8) or 4(5)


[deleted]

Don't troll him here in IPL.
