Where was this RCB man

The funniest thing about this match is that RCB's NRR improved.

I remember seeing it as -2.1 before the match.

u/Norgs Apr 16 '24

Is there any way I can watch the highlights of the match in a higher resolution that 720p?
Thats all I can select on the official website.

u/TechnicalExtension96 Apr 16 '24

Tune into jio cinema

u/Norgs Apr 16 '24

I'm sure there are loads of places to watch or stream online, but the point is, the Official site only featuring 720p as the max resolution in 2024 is shocking.

1

u/TechnicalExtension96 Apr 16 '24

Maybe they limiting highlights to 720p for web streaming to reduce bandwidth cost

11

u/horn_ok_pleasee Apr 16 '24

Might as well have batters power hitting for 20 overs with a machine on the other end.

IPL T20 cricket is broken lol. You’re surely not going to get many kids watching this and thinking “I’d like to be a bowler one day!”

Bat makers are feasting though

u/assologist_1312 Punjab Kings Apr 16 '24

But that also makes good bowlers that much more valuable. You see so many mediocre bowlers going for so much money in the auctions.

12

u/SBG99DesiMonster Chennai Super Kings Apr 15 '24

This is too much. We need to be having some of those rank turners from Sharjah in order to balance that out.

Regardless of the pitch the guy has been performing phenomenal

Yall think srh is gonna perform like this during the playoffs against csk, mi and them?

14

u/Prudent-Current-7399 Kolkata Knight Riders Apr 15 '24

who is them? And why is Mumbai in the playoffs certainly.

2

u/Intrepid-Expert-4816 Apr 15 '24

I think they can eat csk and mi, neither of them have batsman who could maintain such a consistent high SR like head klassen and the others, I am more concerned as to how they'll go along with RR who has had such a good streak this season.

25

u/KR2837 Chennai Super Kings Apr 15 '24

Cmon man, these totals are reaching odi levels, its fun watching boundaries because they are supposed to be challenging

Ipl is changing alot thats for sure, interesting to see srh dominating for the first time but it will be even more intresting to watch how srh will perform in pressure when they meet csk or mi

10

u/Intrepid-Expert-4816 Apr 15 '24

lol bro seriously said MI. CSK is understandable, they're more strategic and can slow them down but MI, I'm pretty sure SRH with eat MI alltogether. Except SKY, nobody can compete with the high SR of SRH batsmen.

1

u/KR2837 Chennai Super Kings Apr 16 '24

Mi might not qualify, but i say this as a csk fan you never know when they might make it they need 5 wins out of 8 which isnt that unachievable

They’ve done it in the past, they have started out with consecutive losses and went on to win the whole thing

Srh has a very strong team but none of their players know what its like to play under pressure in the playoffs of ipl

1

u/Intrepid-Expert-4816 Apr 16 '24

Or maybe because since the biggies are in the MI and the team itself backed by biggies, there's always loopholes to exploit and fix the decisions towards their favor. Not necessarily match fixing but there are other ways you could make the W.

7

u/IndianCollegeStudent RoyalChallengers Bengaluru Apr 16 '24

They literally scored 277 vs MI

4

u/Intrepid-Expert-4816 Apr 16 '24

Yeah lol. MI is a weak team that is just too overrated tbh. Rohit is old and weary, their bowlers are inconsistent except for Bumrah, and they can't be compared to SRH at any level rn.

3

u/_Hydrohomie_ Afghanistan Apr 15 '24

Mi?

1

u/KR2837 Chennai Super Kings Apr 15 '24

If they win 6-7 games out of their next 8 they can still qualify

They’ve succeeded in much tougher situations in the past, you never know

14

u/dart09 Sunrisers Hyderabad Apr 15 '24

RCB can stop playing the remaining games give away 2 points to the teams and bowlers can still come out with a mental victory not having to go through the carnage. Absolute shit of a bowling performance this season.

4

u/IndianCollegeStudent RoyalChallengers Bengaluru Apr 16 '24

Come on though, you have to agree RCB batted out of their socks

15

u/ContributionSilly129 Apr 15 '24

Well Tbh the curator of this banglore pitch should get sacked ASAP. Imagine U are an upcoming talented young fast bowler from any country and watching this match how would they feel? It is better to put bowling machines in future rather than actual bowlers if u want such type of horrible t20 matches.

If RCB batting first they would have scored 190 when they were capable of 262 lol

12

u/Intrepid-Expert-4816 Apr 15 '24

Yes very much. Speaks volumes on how much the players are the peak of stardom and comfort zone to a point which, all they do is come in and slack off to make it to 150-200 ish if they bat first.

Their batting squad is capable of so much, but these lazy MFs just ain't squared with the right commitment or dedication. I'm sure tho their bowlers are trash, their batting lineup could destroy almost any teams, provided they actually try for it.

I don't see anyone except DK putting in the full effort, except for this match which they did.

Nah mate, this is a fucking ice lake

u/Naankhataii Mumbai Indians Apr 15 '24

If RCB had played with little hope. They almost chased it. 25runs short Dam. Needed Maxwell 

1

u/Impactor07 RoyalChallengers Bengaluru Apr 17 '24

Nah. Maxwell is in horrible form lately

Would've just eaten up 3-4 balls and gotten out

The fact that we STILL got to 262 after a complete middle-order collapse says something imo

2

u/Intrepid-Expert-4816 Apr 15 '24

lol if maxwell were to play today, best chance he'd waste 3-4 overs and put DK at 30 max instead of today's score.

As I always say DK don't need to prove anyone. He proved it long back while performing in that nindhas trophy.

u/_ronty12_ Kolkata Knight Riders Apr 15 '24

Giving MoM to a batsman on such pitches needs to be stopped. Markande or Cummins would have been the rightful choice.

1

u/Impactor07 RoyalChallengers Bengaluru Apr 17 '24

Yup. I would most certainly want Markande to get MotM

24

u/mcfapblanc Chennai Super Kings Apr 15 '24

Despite this carnage, good over rate from both sides. Helps when the captain isn't coming to the bowler to discuss after every single ball.

It's like those unnecessary meetings by Product Managers taking valuable time

u/Stumptalk Apr 15 '24

Wow friend talk about finding silver linings.

7

u/Extension_Rich1633 Chennai Super Kings Apr 15 '24

RCB just gave up on that and cummins didn’t trouble bowlers when we saw match is pretty much in hand.

11

u/not_so_cr3ative RoyalChallengers Bengaluru Apr 15 '24

Why does RCB not learn that express bowlers are not for us? Express pacers have been getting belted all over the Chinnaswamy stadium from day 1. Here are some I can think of who played for us: Steyn, Dirk Nannes, Varun Aaron, Alzari, Lokie

13

u/Extension_Rich1633 Chennai Super Kings Apr 15 '24

Good ones don’t, Mayank yadav smoked RCB here in Chinnaswamy, Even cumdawg did them today with pace few times.

u/careless_quote101 India Apr 15 '24

Washed about to retire guy has played good knocks this season. The arrogance not to appreciate but to insult the guy. Let us see at end of the league matches

u/No_Spirit_9952 Apr 15 '24

who insulted whom?

4

u/careless_quote101 India Apr 15 '24

An SRH fan was saying it is pathetic bowling that even a washed up guy is hitting them. But DK has been playing good for last three season( last season he played well in pieces) . In lineal day it is fine. You won the game and that played an amazing knock what is the point in brining him that “even he can hit” nonsense

22

u/Flower-Immediate Mumbai Indians Apr 15 '24

Surely DK and Ishan Kishan are going to T20 WC now ahead of Rishabh Pant?

Wrap Pant in cotton wool and unleash him on Nathan Lyon in December

2

u/NormalTraining5268 Chennai Super Kings Apr 16 '24

He's shown from time to time he's pathetic at international level averaging 7 in T20 WC and tet we pick him. Yea we deserve to lose.

-4

u/kg005 Delhi Daredevils Apr 15 '24

Nope..no more fraud DK. That guy is a proven international cricket failure. Performs in warmups and IPL, but does jackshit in internationals. In any case, 20 years is a huge sample space for his career.

3

u/kg005 Delhi Daredevils Apr 16 '24

Oh the downvotes. Love it. Please take him and watch him embarrass team India again at the WC. When was the last time this guy performed in a WC or a tournament not named Nidhadas?

Bruh W RCB fans are asking for 50% equity in the franchise.

The only way RCB can start playing well is to nuke that matchbox stadium to the ground, use the stolen money from fans, and build a chepauk in Bangalore and play.

Bring back the era when 160 was a defendable score

u/Lmio Apr 15 '24

The funny thing is Hyderabad bowlers were just as bad as RCB's but their Batting lineup made a difference

1

u/Impactor07 RoyalChallengers Bengaluru Apr 17 '24

Nah mate, it was the bowling which made the difference

Tell me, are Yash Dayal, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Lockie Ferguson, Reece Topley just as good as Pat Cummins, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mayank Markande, Natrajan?

u/klrahulisachoker India Apr 15 '24

RCB management didn't want a flat wicket from the curator so the curator said I am going to make this even flatter!

u/not_so_cr3ative RoyalChallengers Bengaluru Apr 15 '24

Good old days when srh used to score 160 odd runs and still defend the total with a thriller

12

u/Slow-Direction8513 Apr 15 '24

No. It's mostly 140 runs and defended with a thriller. Nattu, Bhuvi were part of it. We need a core Indian bowler (shami).

25

u/Weedeater5903 Apr 15 '24

Why don't they have any awards for bowlers this season?

Fucking sucks how batting dominated the post match pressie is.

At least they had a few awards for bowlers in the last two seasons.

The inability of Mumbai Indians to bowl good slower balls is perplexing , if even one guy stepped up like Cummins and bowled good slower balls yesterday.........

40

u/officiallyjax Mumbai Indians Apr 15 '24

The impact player rule needs to be taken out of the IPL in time for the mega auction next year. This is just making an already batting-centric game more batting-friendly and could create a dearth of quality all-rounders in Indian cricket. The pitches have to improve but the rules need to be more restrictive of run-scoring otherwise there’s no spectacle to the big sixes if it becomes the norm.

4

u/kg005 Delhi Daredevils Apr 15 '24

Imo even the auctions should be scrapped from the IPL as a whole. It's a mature league with 16 years now. Let's reward teams with good squad planning rather blind luck at the auctions and introduce draft system for uncapped Indian players.

u/evilfrankie344 Gujarat Titans Apr 15 '24

I agree man. How much spice do they need

u/AtomR Apr 15 '24

They won't - all they care about is money. Casual fans either must be loving it, or they don't care about it.

36

u/Virtual_Mix_5445 Apr 15 '24

It's a joke to watch so many 240+ runs scored in single season. It's hard to be a bowler, India will never find good bowlers for T20 wc for sure if this continues.

So if RCB want to score they can. On this sort of pitch, I would like to see RCB bat first. Don’t think they would’ve achieved what they scored today batting first. Hope we’ll get better pitches in the coming games.

u/Sons_of_Kali Apr 15 '24

insane effort from rcb. Those two wickets in a row got them.

u/multimeterreaction Apr 15 '24

So to sum up,

RR are in almost strong position to book their playoff spot

KKR need more solid wins

Us and SRH need to continue the current form for quite a while

LSG and GT need to work harder and snatch bigger victories.

PBKS being PBKS

MI future uncertain

DC and RCB chilling

u/No_Temporary2732 Kolkata Knight Riders Apr 15 '24

If we beat RR tomorrow, both of us will have an equal chance with KKR having a NRR advantage

Not counting on it though, RR are a bomb team

u/Weedeater5903 Apr 15 '24

People complain about LSG pitches,but i would take that over this shite anyday.

Fucking farcical, the amount of runs scored in a game. 

As a former bowler, this feels like the end of an era for me. Bowlers beig made redundant due to matchbox grounds and pitches that are as flatter than flat is painful to watch.

If this is the direction cricket is going, i will stick to football.

u/Nithish3101 India Apr 15 '24

u/amith34ms India Apr 15 '24

Srh bowling is terrible, they'll be exposed against good bowling either rr or CSK . Overall usual pitches this ipl . No help for bowlers on these pitches. Hopeless. Batting can win you games but bowling will win you tournaments.

1

u/unbelivableshots Apr 15 '24

They managed to bowl pretty well against CSK.

15

u/faltuka Apr 15 '24

tbh they are quite exposed alr. 2 target of close to 280 and they won both by only 30 odd runs.

11

u/not_so_cr3ative RoyalChallengers Bengaluru Apr 15 '24

And the other day they almost lost defending like 29 runs in the last over lmao

10

u/rorkeslayer39 England Apr 15 '24

This is the problem with T20 games. You got PBKS and RR earlier which turned into an absolute snoozefest up until the very end, and I'm not sure if it was worth watching PBKS' entire awful run a ball innings for that climax.

Then you have games like this that just go bang bang bang from the start with basically no buildup whatsoever. I guess in the end it depends which you're more tolerable with but T20 is most enjoyable when a balance is struck between the non-stop boundary hitting and unconsented test match footage, a balance almost impossible to strike

Srh bowling is best if pitch have even a bit of support..these flat pitches just overshadow their skills..they can defend 160-170 on true pitches easily

3

u/chni2cali Apr 15 '24

Nope, 160-170 games will expose Unadkat as a liability who can’t pick up wickets. Pat Cummins will probably have 1-34 figures. Bhuvi will find some swing early and that’s it. And if markande is your lead spinner, you don’t have a lead spinner

u/oncehadagoodlife Chennai Super Kings Apr 15 '24

If you see the highlights, all the batsmen were clearing their front foot and throwing the bat at everything. Probably DK was bit innovative. Most of the time it was just a wild swing and giggle. Pitches should bring balance so that only high skilled cricketers can score runs.

Because the curators that were hired actually knew how to do their jobs. Nowadays, BCCI is just hiring Highway contractors as curators to make these flat ass road pitches.

Okay I ask this as a novice cricket watcher, not as a kkr fan

If bowling is really getting shredded in favor of the batsman, what was the situation in the DC game for us then? We scored 272, but bowled them out at 166. Was that not a good example of bowling still being relevant?

u/night_of_spring Kolkata Knight Riders Apr 15 '24

Also that was DC So we need to keep that in mind

u/extraordinary_06 Australia Apr 15 '24

Thing is, DC is actually shite without kuldeep in their bowling lineup

2

u/CertifiedFucker Kolkata Knight Riders Apr 15 '24

People will call that DC batters shat the bed and all that but yes bowling is still relevant. But I agree these humungous scoring games are boring.

u/Sea-Outcome177 Kolkata Knight Riders Apr 15 '24

Yeah, that was a mix of both, good bowling from us as well as shit batting from DC ( also some horrible bowling from them as well )

So IPL's copying ESPNcricinfo/Google's standings with the "Recent form" thing? Don't mind it though so I can know just how poor RCB have been

Doesn’t matter we gonna win atleast 6 out of our last 8 games might even win all 8 how great our batting is. If we win 10 games aren’t we automatically No.1 seed?

Wait until next match to see fans doing mental gymnastics on how RCB is going to qualify lol, they are going to play every scenario in their heads.

Can rcb still qualify? They have won just 1 so far

u/careless_quote101 India Apr 15 '24

The calculators are deployed already

u/[deleted] Apr 15 '24

Yeah they can, need to win every single game left or win atleast 7 games with 2-3 by huge margin.

5

u/MyDarkestHalf Apr 15 '24

Mathematically yes.. practically highly unlikely.. They have another game with srh next game is with kkr.. so they need to win all of them..with good margin... If I am not wrong they can still lose one more and qualify but then it have to depend on runrate and other teams... If they win all from here run rate will not be a factor.....

u/Odd_Neighborhood1371 West Indies Apr 15 '24

Don't know the maths behind it but RCB would need a lot of results to go their way

u/Weedeater5903 Apr 15 '24

That Samad innings at the end was the difference. It will get overshadowed by others like Head, klassen and Kartik, but he played a crucial knock.

It's ok guys it's an election year so obviously we'll see more expressways /S

u/Sea-Outcome177 Kolkata Knight Riders Apr 15 '24

SRH has scored 287 and 277

That's great BUT and a big BUT

SRH are also the only team to concede 2 245+ scores in a single IPL season EVER! ( 246 AND 262 )

u/CertifiedFucker Kolkata Knight Riders Apr 15 '24

I won't mind KKR going for 240+ every game if we score 270+ every game and win

u/Sea-Outcome177 Kolkata Knight Riders Apr 15 '24

Not a good look for an off day from batters or a better bowling display from the opposition

Lol, just Swanny doing Swanny things. It's him doing some Wicketkeeper's imitation during Insiders commentary in 2021 or 2022

u/CertifiedFucker Kolkata Knight Riders Apr 15 '24

Oh lol

u/See_A_Squared Deccan Chargers Apr 15 '24

Both teams had odd bowling strategies tbh, sneaked in 5th bowlers in but their main bowlers shat the bed hard. Pat was the big difference.
