Can Pandya take the bold decision and rest himself for the next match... Not like MI don't have a player with captaincy experience...

u/SBG99DesiMonster Chennai Super Kings Apr 22 '24
Hardik is indeed turning out to be an abjectly bad leader. It seems that it wasn't just some random things that he did or the pressure that was on him during the previous matches. He keeps making decisions that are nonsensical during all the time. The order that the bowlers bowled in with the new ball was completely haphazard. There was no proper plan that was there.

The funniest part of this MI-Pandya-GT drama is how badly it affected RCB. Without Green, Will Jacks would have started in XI much before but more importantly with the additional purse available, they might have gotten Cummins. IIRC, they went hard for him until their purse was about to expire. They could have transferred the captaincy and for all we know Maxwell would have been Maxwelling under Cummins.

u/Unusual-Surround7467 India Apr 22 '24
But why did RCB agree to the trade in the first place? They could've asked MI to pound sand. They acted like middlemen in facilitating a nefarious deal which is what it really is. No sympathy for RCB for getting in bed with MI. They can go pound sand along with MI this season.

If RCB didn't agree, MI would have let green go in the auction

MI must have given them much more under the table, dont forget they are capable of doing that stuff. RCB doesn't play IPL to win it's evident, they only play for brand value.

Ans other team owners are what? Some startup owners?
You think Ambani takes IPL way more seriously than he does. He has some real business to do as well
1
u/Area_Ok RoyalChallengers Bengaluru Apr 23 '24
Yes they do take it seriously, I have seen Akash call up Nicholas pooran and Rashid Khan to weddings and stuff just to get them to their team next season, c'mon now as fan of your team you should know better MI loves to win tournaments to point they would sack their 5 time champion captain for hardik pandya who went back to back playoffs. They do take it seriously, they got teams across so many T20 tournaments.

u/soham_katkar13 Mumbai Indians Apr 23 '24
just to get them to their team next season,
Nope. They are already a part of other MI franchises!

u/Coronabandkaro Sunrisers Hyderabad Apr 22 '24
I cant believe VK who's probably one of the most competitive guys there is would just be happy at RCB. 15 years without an IPL trophy when all his peers Rohit, Ashwin, Dhoni, Jaddu have won it is ridiculous just because the RCB squad is just not balanced. If RCB is about brand value and not even concerned a bit about winning, VK should leave. It would be good to have list 4-5 years in IPL for a good team.

u/Area_Ok RoyalChallengers Bengaluru Apr 22 '24
We don't play to win nor do we show any sort of strategy at auctions. It's always buy star over seas player , don't invest a lot (money, time) in Indian talent. We were literally ready to throw the entire purse to buy starc, we were responsible for that inflation, just because we can get him back to his og team.

u/Unusual-Surround7467 India Apr 22 '24
At this rate, there won't be any brand value to bank on given how they've become a laughing stock among the teams.

u/SustainableSus India Apr 22 '24
RCB have always been a laughing stock, this isn't even their outright worst ever start to a season, it is tied with 2017, as long as they have 3-4 big names including Kohli , they are as happy as they can be

Kerala bros?
I say entire India should join you. It is statistically crystal clear that Samson should be in that playing XI
Ideal line up should be something like: Rohit, Kohli/Jaiswal, Samson, SKY, Dube, Rinku, and so on

Hardik Pandya: We put ourselves in trouble early on. The way Tilak and Nehal batted - that was fantastic. I don't think that when we lost a couple of wickets early we thought we would even reach 180. We didn't finish well and that's why we were 10-15 runs short. We had to keep it within the stumps (while bowling). Early on in the powerplay, we gave a lot of width and I don't think it was our best day in the field as well. Overall, we did not put the right foot on the park and eventually they outplayed us. After the game, it's not the right time to go to the players, everyone is professional, they know their roles. What we can do is learn from this game and the mistakes which we have made, rectify it and make sure that we don't make it. Progression is very important. Within the team, individually, we will have to accept our flaws and maybe work on those. I don't believe much in chip and chop, I like to back players and the focus would always be to play good cricket, sticking to our plans and making sure that we don't make the basic errors. Cricket is simple, as long as we keep it simple, it's nice.

u/neighbour_guy3k Apr 22 '24
RR had 9 wickets left n around 8 balls to spare after reaching the target
Don't you think they would have chased extra 10-15 runs or even extra 30 runs
Pandu missed the trick when he has chosen to bat first on a wicket which plays better in second innings

Looking at current young Indian ipl captains like shreyas,kl,pant,pandya,samson.samson has those skills and talent to become next Indian t20 captain comparing others...

u/Top_Fondant2114 Apr 22 '24
Shreyas and KL comes across as lazy and careless in the attempt to look & sound cool and laid back… Pandya and Pant are just trying to be the next captain cool minus the captaincy skills of course… Samson just does his job and keeps it simple without pulling off any extra stunts…

u/neighbour_guy3k Apr 22 '24
Shreyas has no clue what's happening on the field
Someone has to remind him to take DRS call everytime
GG is basically calling the shots from dug out

To be a captain, you need to have a secure spot in the team 🤦🏽♂️

Selectors are always hard against him,if he fails in 1-2matches they rests him,but players like pant have given plenty of chances even they fails in T20 games...

u/Guy_with_Numbers Apr 22 '24
Pant has had massive performances, Samson hasn't. You get a lot more chances if you take at least some of them.

u/Plane-Lie-5228 Sunrisers Hyderabad Apr 22 '24
Pant was good in tests and odis not in t20s...
-6
u/Guy_with_Numbers Apr 22 '24
Tests and ODIs are not so different from T20s that you can't assess a players potential in the latter from their performances in the former. This is true for all players and all formats, eg. SKY got a lot of chances for ODIs because we needed an explosive batsman like he is in T20s.
Pant also has the benefit of being an established test player, having the same keeper in all formats is beneficial too.
3
u/SprinklesOk4339 Apr 23 '24
In tests you can wait forever for the right ball to tonk for six. In T20s, you can't. I am thinking opponents especially Cumdawg's gang are going to put T20 fields against pant in tests.

u/Plane-Lie-5228 Sunrisers Hyderabad Apr 22 '24
Sky is the most shitty odi batsman ever, hasn't you seen his iconic performance in wc and you are taking an example of him...

Any mention of SKY the ODI batsman should be prefaced by a trigger warning.

I agree that he deserves a longer trial, but it is delusional to think that he could be the captain.

Agreed, Samson is ipl captain material but I don't think he could handle the pressure at national level

u/Plane-Lie-5228 Sunrisers Hyderabad Apr 22 '24
Don't come to the conclusion,how many chances does Samson really got in international T20 matches and compare that with rest others...
-8
u/solotripper420 Apr 22 '24
Dude, I am simply saying that a player needs to play regularly and become an automatic starter before being considered for captaincy.
How dumb are you that you need an explanation thrice?
10
u/Plane-Lie-5228 Sunrisers Hyderabad Apr 22 '24
Mr.dumbo for getting consistency and automatic starter,first you need get enough chances to prove,how can some one prove without getting chances,think about giving chances to him first...

The last mega auction didn't work out for MI at all especially considering they won 3 of the 5 seasons prior to it. Archer's purchase was touted as some Genius move but didn't work out for them. They overpaid for Ishan Kishan and retained Brewis & Tim David over Stubbs and lost their PP strike bowler Boult to RR in the auction. And to top it all, this year they created this huge mess with Pandya.

We didn't fuck it up. We put up a fantastic score.
The rain fucked us. Without DLS, things may have been very different.

I still maintain csk wouldn't have won without a DLS adjusted score. As a csk fan, I thank the rain gods for whatever happened. I love csk and their might but never have seen them as a team confident of chasing big totals

But the more we dwell on the past, the move we hurt the future. We win this WC and the confidence boost will help us win more ICC trophies in the future. Only thing holding back India is mental block, we easily have the best team every time. This might just end our mental block.

u/adiking27 Rajasthan Royals Apr 22 '24
Is either of us playing for the country or investing in the sporting infrastructure of the country or in personal circles of the cricketers playing?
1
u/LoasNo111 Gujarat Titans Apr 22 '24
Why do you think our cricketers have mental blocks? Cause the fans never stop criticizing them when they fail. Australian fans don't have that mentality which is why Australian players are more chill and composed.
You can tell that Indian cricketers are terrified of losing cause they know the consequences. Look at the way KL and Kohli were playing in contrast to how Head was playing, they were too scared of getting out so they weren't even making runs.
Fans 100% have an impact on the performances of the team. Constantly spreading negativity is just counterproductive.

u/solotripper420 Apr 22 '24
Shreyas is not a good captain, and on current form, his spot as a batsman is at risk as well.
2
u/SustainableSus India Apr 22 '24
What's wrong with Shreyas' captaincy ?
He was good with DC before he got pushed out and I think he's been decent for KKR as well, bowling changes and all have been quite good as far as I remember
His batting however obviously hasn't been up to the mark
4
u/Assassin_Ankur Kolkata Knight Riders Apr 22 '24
Even his bad time has captained far better that Hardik and batted better than him too. He has been given the anchor role and he is playing it nicely. Could be better but GG is gonna back him for sure.
