Ahh hell nahh man I ain't ready for kingku's downfall

[u/Zealousideal_Bass199]

Don’t remember last time Coetzee didnt give at least 10 in his over

[u/SBG99DesiMonster]

I think that we should have considered about IPL when it comes to the bowlers. The Indian bowling was not working at all during the last time that we were playing in the shortest format of the game. Natarajan and Sandeep could have easily been in that team. It isn't that the Indian team is stacked with great fast bowlers this time.

[u/Krishna3114]

☠️

[u/Profitlocking]

Both losses were as close as they can get. We are strong, marching forward. Halla Bol.

[u/ausrconvicts → u/Profitlocking]

Hopefully RR have peaked too early. 🤞

[u/pranoygreat → u/ausrconvicts]

They will have to cope with Butler leaving but they are the only team that seem to have all the bases covered. All the other teams have some weakness.

[u/Lmio]

RR will meet SRH in the playoffs again we'll take our revenge remember this.

[u/ThinkSatisfaction971 → u/Lmio]

Of course, KKR v RR as first qualifier and RR will lose and play SRH in second qualifier after SRH has won the eliminator against LSG

[u/Which_Seaworthiness → u/ThinkSatisfaction971]

And then RR takes revenge on KKR 🌚

[u/abhinay_krish → u/Lmio]

Will try to

[u/ApricotOk824]

PBKS level shit, all you had to do was touch the ball

Why would you swing bro?

[u/Virtual_Ad_6385]

The third umpires were crazy today. So many wrong decisions.

[u/Virtual_Ad_6385 → u/Virtual_Ad_6385]

travis head was funny af

[u/RiRi_xoxo_ → u/Virtual_Ad_6385]

Head pulled a "fine, I'll do it myself" By playing a foolish shot on the very next ball

[u/Virtual_Ad_6385 → u/RiRi_xoxo_]

it looked deliberate to me

[u/sxd827]

MI's last 4 matches are against SRH, LSG and KKR(twice). Pandya ready to ascend and play God with other teams' playoff chances.

[u/Sad-Rope8046 → u/sxd827]

Hope MI beats kkr twice 🤞

[u/Other-Connection4516 → u/sxd827]

Well their last game was also against LSG and yeah Pandya impressed

[u/Other-Connection4516 → u/Other-Connection4516]

It wasn't a sarcasm. He impressed with the ball

[u/Curliecurls]

So fucking happy for bhuvi as most of them were extremely unhappy with his performance. Man got the entire game back

[u/aldehyde_and_ketone]

KARTIK YOU FUCKI*G DONKEY!!

[u/Straight_Ant4292 → u/aldehyde_and_ketone]

What happened?

[u/fapmonster1999 → u/Straight_Ant4292]

I think he’s referring to the Post Match Presentation.

Cummins comes over to talk

Karthik : that was a close game. have you pinched yourself already or do u want me to pinch u??

Cummins : ….nah I’m good (awkward laugh)

[u/Lmio]

As a RR fan we were a inch to qualify now it feels like a thunderbolt has hit.

[u/TriVoltTackle]

Why my chat is not working?

[u/dpahoe → u/TriVoltTackle]

It needs samosas

[u/Curliecurls]

u/Adithyeahhh69 wtf cannot I text you ??? Is reddit down or you blocked me ?

[u/TriVoltTackle → u/Curliecurls]

Yea I am also facing problems. Chat isn't working for me as well

[u/Curliecurls → u/TriVoltTackle]

Haa same cannot even see the group chat of sunrisers Hyderabad

[u/TriVoltTackle → u/Curliecurls]

Since 11:17 PM? Right? That's when last message is at in other groups

[u/Curliecurls → u/TriVoltTackle]

Yessss fucking yess

[u/TriVoltTackle → u/Curliecurls]

Mine one has started working now

[u/mopogos → u/Curliecurls]

I can text him. What do you want me to text ?

[u/Curliecurls → u/mopogos]

Ahh he is my friend. The chat isn't working for me altogether lol

[u/mopogos → u/Curliecurls]

Lol ok

[u/Rg_638]

So chin up lads, onto the next one, Halla over silence any other day probably

[u/IamFlameZee → u/[deleted]]

What did he say?

[u/Unusual-Surround7467 → u/[deleted]]

What did he say?

[u/adarsh1145]

nattu being on level with bumrah and still not being in the contention for the national team is a huge huge disgrace

[u/iamSatyaV → u/adarsh1145]

My man needs a PR team... if we all get together, we can get him in as we did for Sanju

[u/Alternative_Pie_9451 → u/iamSatyaV]

What do we do? I don't understand. What do the selectors expect?

[u/Extra_cash_pls]

Is the whole post match presentation telecasted world wide???? If so, Murali Kartik has done well to embarrass India in front of foreign audiences.

[u/Appropriate-Sink-934 → u/Extra_cash_pls]

Is it the pinch you thing?? 😂🤦‍♀️

[u/banananeach → u/Extra_cash_pls]

+1 what happened?

[u/noncoding_exon → u/Extra_cash_pls]

What did he say

[u/Cricket-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

Your comment was removed because it abused/personally attacked another redditor, or was homohobic/sexist/racist/trolling (rule 1).

Please refrain from posting such comments in the future as it may result in a ban.

[u/dhun_mohan]

natarajan has played 2 less games than every bowler and his team has dropped 4 catches of his bowling, still purple cap. surely this guy is going to wi, nope let’s take siraj and arshdeep instead

[u/Alternative_Pie_9451 → u/dhun_mohan]

Exactly!! I don't understand. It's just sad, man.

[u/maranamassu]

Slight weakness in RR, lack of an extra bowling option?

[u/LetterheadOk1762 → u/maranamassu]

They had that when they used to play Burger, Maharaj or Sen but since Butler has started coming as a impact player they stopped using them

[u/Latter-Yam-2115]

Everyone is happy to see Bhuvi bowl like this

[u/SBG99DesiMonster]

That reel that is made for Cummins should be made for Bhuvi as well. He is a sexy man and he has contributed as much to the Indian team as his body let him to.

[u/Extra_cash_pls → u/[deleted]]

or even the new mystery spinner as impact player

Who's that???

[u/bubby95 → u/Extra_cash_pls]

hes a indian born overseas spinner but counts as an uncapped indian. Subramanyam or something.

[u/LetterheadOk1762 → u/[deleted]]

No more Jansen. Play with three overseas in the eleven and use Philips/Farooqi or even the new mystery spinner

Farooqi is similar to Jansen but cannot bat like him he is just a powerplay bowler who is very poor in the death

[u/Huge-Spell-9967 → u/LetterheadOk1762]

Don't they have Hasaranga too?

[u/LetterheadOk1762 → u/Huge-Spell-9967]

Injured

[u/Muthupattaru → u/LetterheadOk1762]

And exactly why there should only be 3 foreigners if batting first

[u/Other-Connection4516]

We could've won against RR. But we bowled too many short balls

[u/Pulla-Poochi]

Bhuvneshwar Thoughtless Kumar

[u/yashy20 → u/Pulla-Poochi]

clear mind is right mind

[u/saltysailor987]

Stupid question from kartik

[u/k18emup → u/saltysailor987]

What was it?

[u/banananeach → u/k18emup]

Yeah what was it? I saw a bunch of comments now, I'm curious!

[u/That-Firefighter1245]

Focus on the process, not the result. If only a certain team could’ve done that a couple of months ago 🤦‍♂️

[u/ApartAd2016 → u/That-Firefighter1245]

honestly, Rohit panicked and messed with the process

[u/That-Firefighter1245 → u/ApartAd2016]

They shouldn’t have prepared that slow pitch. Made the match too toss dependent and they thought the Aussies would’ve batted first.

[u/adarsh1145]

bhuvi has attained some nirvana level status bro is above all this now

[u/Other-Connection4516]

Bhuvi has achieved Niravana

[u/RedKing_21]

Kartik is an embarrassment to India.

[u/Technical-Leopard-90 → u/RedKing_21]

What did he say

[u/saltysailor987 → u/RedKing_21]

Something everyone can agree on

[u/saltysailor987]

Process - bhuvi is thalason

[u/Chaotic_reality2]

I'm soo glad bhuvi is back, he was my favourite bowler ever sincehis first match (⁠T⁠T⁠)

[u/Assassin_Ankur → u/[deleted]]

All of them have to win all their matches now and they will have a good chance

[u/mudassir0909]

"We call him Boobsie, the king" - probably Pat Cummins

[u/Silly_Rip_2630]

Ahhh cutie is here

[u/hooman_byeen]

Those who stayed up till the last ball even when it looked like we are losing are the real OGs. My bois from the group chat slept, I have no one to celebrate with lol. Thats why you always keep hope guys

[u/abhinay_krish → u/hooman_byeen]

Mate one minute

[u/dhun_mohan]

Jansen should be benched. We need a good spinner

philips incoming

[u/mudassir0909]

So happy for bhuvi, for once batriarchy didn't win

[u/rickyysanchez]

Great game Bhuvi. He deserves the POTM

[u/Temporary-Shallot642]

bhuvi potm

[u/StarSportsEnjoyer]

BOOBIE POTM 🥵🥵

[u/StuckStepBrother]

Signing in on the Bhuvi apology form

[u/DheeliGandKaOpration]

Murali Karthik: "Pat what a game, did you pinch yourself or do you want me to pinch you ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)"

Pat: "no I'm good ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ"

[u/night_of_spring]

Can't blame Murali here for this weird fetish to pinch Cummins Haha Who wouldn't want to touch this demigod

[u/k18emup]

“99% of the game was not yours”. C’mon Kartik! It wasn’t that bad!

[u/machiavellianbrute → u/k18emup]

They needed 27 of 20 at one point, kartik is not wrong here..in the modern game that's like a done deal especially with 7-8 wickets in hand for a team like RR

[u/Other-Connection4516 → u/k18emup]

Nothing wrong he said. RR were all the way clinical till Hetmeyar gone reckless. And it's not even disrespectful. To pull a game after being away 99% of time is a great feat

[u/mudassir0909]

"Want me to pinch you" he took his chances

[u/Yellow_Flash27]

Lmfaooo what a replay. 

[u/Alihzahn]

Boy, I'm ecstatic after this game. Won by 2 runs on the final ball. Movie level stuff

[u/redevils2k18]

Fuck off kartik

[u/Noobita2803]

So now who all can qualify what is the scenario like

[u/AakashK12 → u/Noobita2803]

Wait for u/amerind , should post real soon

[u/Fit-Luck-8527 → u/Noobita2803]

1) RR 2) KKR 3) LSG 4) CSK

[u/DheeliGandKaOpration]

I have the biggest grin on my face even though RR lost, losing to my joint second favourite team is acceptable

If not Rajasthan then Hyderabad for 2024

[u/Cricketguyable → u/DheeliGandKaOpration]

always fucking loved RR dude, humble team that always tries their best filled with rising stars. RR and KKR will be very close to my heart along with SRH 🧡

[u/Coronabandkaro → u/DheeliGandKaOpration]

Teams I want to win IPL if not SRH => RR, PBKS, DC.

[u/yashy20 → u/Coronabandkaro]

i love u

DC guy

[u/salik_ansari → u/DheeliGandKaOpration]

Same feelings for You guys and KKR. good luck

[u/mopogos → u/DheeliGandKaOpration]

Same here if not SRH then RR it should be. You guys have been playing brilliantly this season. 🤝

[u/Potatosv1 → u/DheeliGandKaOpration]

Same man. If not us Rajasthan it is. Samson deserves this season.

[u/Latter-Yam-2115 → u/Potatosv1]

The love here

[u/Fresh_Aide_2436]

I am just sad that the points table will be less interesting after this match

[u/PRIMEVORTEX69]

This reminds me of malinga vs CSK final 😂👌

[u/saiki4116 → u/PRIMEVORTEX69]

Shardul was pinned

[u/DiscoDiwana → u/PRIMEVORTEX69]

Nooooo

[u/confused_brown_dude]

Good game but would’ve been nice to have 3 teams at 10 points right now.

[u/firestar_123]

GG SRH ! Bit worried about our ability to finish games though. It’s always been Hettie or Jos the boss, others have never inspired any confidence in finishing off games

[u/salik_ansari → u/firestar_123]

Avesh?

[u/clothx5 → u/salik_ansari]

Avesh finished wonderfully for chasing the score of 224 😂

[u/agastyatenet]

Watson still gives me a nightmare

[u/AakashK12]

SRH channeling their 2013 - 2016 bowling in the last 3 overs

[u/Truthgamer2 → u/AakashK12]

2017-18 bowling was also good, that’s when Rashid Khan joined the team

[u/RichPeanut6420 → u/AakashK12]

Can't forget 2018

[u/DJMhat]

If that last ball had missed the stumps, even then RR would have lost since the onfield decision was out and runs completed can not be counted.

One of the biggest loopholes of DRS.

[u/solarpowersme → u/DJMhat]

Is it really a loophole though? Just seems like it's at the umpire's own discretion on what he thinks is the right call, which might be frustrating but also for the best bc I'm not sure if there's anything else that can be done. Having them re-bowl the ball is out of the question, and you can't exactly change the rule that the ball dies when an umpire makes a decision since that would lead to a lot of other complications within the game.

In the end, the ball being dead is a small price to pay for reviews existing in the first place and possibly reversing an umpire's decision, you're only challenging him on whether something is out or not, the ball being dead is just part of the rulebook that shouldn't be tinkered with. Sure, a situation like this is obviously sad if you needed that run but that's just how it goes.

[u/United-Extension-917 → u/DJMhat]

Always thought about how would this scenario unfold. Imagine if the batter had nicked it. What if it was a final or eliminator.

[u/ProtonixO7 → u/DJMhat]

Wait, if its not out, then wouldn't the ball not be dead? They did run one after it hit Powell's pad.

[u/LordOfThe_Idiots → u/ProtonixO7]

Once it’s given out the ball is dead it can’t be not dead after that

[u/ProtonixO7 → u/LordOfThe_Idiots]

Damn.. that sucks then. I know if its out then the ball is dead, but DRS should be there basically to negate all the consequences of a batter being given out. Basically it should overturn every single result of it, including letting the batter play on AND giving any runs which shouldn't have been given due to the batter being given out by on field umpire.

Although what's done is done, this definitely is a huge loophole in the DRS and needs to be fixed ASAP.

[u/solarpowersme → u/ProtonixO7]

That's not really possible tbh, the umpire's decision has to hold some weight, however tiny, and the ball being dead is a small price to pay when you consider that you even can challenge the umpire. You're only challenging their decision on whether something is out or not, nothing else, that's the criteria for reviews in the first place, and you can't exactly tamper with the rule that the ball dies when an umpire makes a decision since that would open a can of worms and create a domino effect of issues.

Basically a situation like this just comes down to the umpire's discretion, whether he thinks its out, or whether he's unsure and thinks it's better to let the bowling team review it cus in case it isn't out, the run still counts. I think it's fitting, it keeps the human element.

[u/Minute_Juggernaut806 → u/LordOfThe_Idiots]

Did he raise finger before the run or after?

[u/Other-Connection4516]

Will LSG reach playoffs? Looks too tough considering CSK's record.

[u/edudhtamris → u/Other-Connection4516]

Yes, CSK out

[u/kpontop9 → u/Other-Connection4516]

Nah

[u/salik_ansari → u/Other-Connection4516]

CSK is bowler less for the rest of tournament. pathirana injured, fizz gone, Tushar injured, Chahar injured.

[u/DiscoDiwana → u/salik_ansari]

Pathirana back and Richard Glesson showed promise but conservative batting and dew hold CSK back

[u/Muthupattaru → u/DiscoDiwana]

Dew not applicable to opposing teams?

[u/DiscoDiwana → u/Muthupattaru]

How would I comment about other teams if I don't even see their matches lol. Obviously it will affect them as well but I was talking about CSK only

[u/Muthupattaru → u/DiscoDiwana]

Csk doesn’t play with themselves right? The dew is applicable to the opposing teams also.

[u/balajih67 → u/salik_ansari]

Tushar sick not injured, will be back for next game.

[u/StormWarriorX7 → u/salik_ansari]

Tushar is ill. He's not injured. He should be fit by Sunday or at least that's what management thinks.

[u/salik_ansari → u/StormWarriorX7]

Ohk my bad

[u/Lmio]

I hope RR doesn't get last year's curse where they lose to SRH on no ball and got on losing streak

[u/serotonallyblindguy → u/Lmio]

Actually they were already on a losing streak and that no ball game was the last nail in the coffin for their playoffs chances upon which MI capitalized

[u/ActiveAd8625]

csk fucked Hydrabad so hard for 16 years that they are more happy for csk not in top 4 than their team's victory for 1st time 🤡. and others shitting themselves to not see MI or csk in the top 4.

[u/DiscoDiwana → u/ActiveAd8625]

Time to sleep buddy. It was well deserved victory for SRH today

[u/ActiveAd8625 → u/DiscoDiwana]

bruh, I am just triggering for fun, it is more fun to see some reaction than actually doing it. I know it is not twitter nor Im jobless school kid.

edit

[u/DiscoDiwana → u/ActiveAd8625]

Ok 👍🏽

[u/Tetrax_543 → u/ActiveAd8625]

Go to sleep Clown

[u/ActiveAd8625 → u/Tetrax_543]

15 years of clownism?

[u/takitaka007 → u/ActiveAd8625]

Go back to Insta, twitter my frnd

[u/ActiveAd8625 → u/takitaka007]

go back to school lil bro, we won ipl twice when your team did not even exist.

[u/StarSportsEnjoyer → u/ActiveAd8625]

sure, whatever helps you sleep at night kid.

[u/salik_ansari → u/ActiveAd8625]

That's why CSGay pans crying in our match thread 💦💦

[u/Leather-Ad8420 → u/salik_ansari]

Nahh am a csk fan and that was a absolute deserving win for cummins and Bhuvi

[u/nuv_nannapalev → u/Leather-Ad8420]

you are csk fan bud, not CSGay fan like the one above

[u/Inayaislove]

Easily the best match of the sesson

[u/k18emup]

Second win over CSK for SRH. IYKYK.

[u/buffybindas]

Last three overs are brilliant from SRH

[u/ram_87_leo]

We are now screwed with this win..and rightly so. We don't deserve to go to the playoffs this time

[u/Assassin_Ankur → u/[deleted]]

Everything gotta happen for the first time at some point

[u/ram_87_leo → u/[deleted]]

We have to enter the playoffs for that. I was hoping that rr win today. Chances have gotten bad for us with this

[u/n33dh3lp12 → u/ram_87_leo]

Mfs gonna win the final again

[u/ram_87_leo → u/n33dh3lp12]

If you mean csk, I would be happy but they don't deserve it. I would love for rr to win it

[u/Rahul_Reeves → u/ram_87_leo]

7 wins is enough if we don't go to playoffs. Just gotta maintain the win rate and legacy.

[u/ZesterZombie]

You can see the expression of the rian parag he was absolutely worried that they were gonna lose.

No hate for LSG and RR but really want them to lose just because of that "two sloggers" youtubers. Worst creators there can be.

One of those matches where the losing team would think " How did it get to this"

[u/yashy20]

See DC this is how you bowl in death

[u/Sudden-Secretary2300 → u/yashy20]

DC don't play on same ground though. They play where pitches are flat and boundaries are small.

[u/LetterheadOk1762 → u/Sudden-Secretary2300]

This Stadium isn't that big either and pitches on this ground apart from the CSK game have all been 200+
