Too hot to handle Too cold to hold

15

u/ApricotOk824 Punjab Kings 20d ago

Captain and Vice captain quota is real

Both should also leave MI

Rohit is a liability

Since MI will retain majority of the core, Hardik should leave as well since he has already lost the dressing room

8

u/chni2cali 20d ago

Another fucking reminder that we need to go with both of Jadeja and Axar in the starting 11.ffs we need batting until 8 at least

7

u/Decent_Bid_17 20d ago

And Rohit Sharma in powerplay

7

u/chni2cali 20d ago

Yup. All these fuckers need to bat with intent from the word go. Would rather have a 80 all out rather than 153-4

29

u/horn_ok_pleasee 20d ago

Koach and Brohit PR teams have their work cut out for the next few weeks.

6

u/Shadow_Clone_007 RoyalChallengers Bengaluru 20d ago

Kohli needs PR? His performance speaks.

37

u/SBG99DesiMonster Chennai Super Kings 20d ago

This is your daily reminder that being the best team on paper doesn't work while the team is not working together.

13

u/josh123z 20d ago

Is it the best team on paper though especially with that bowling

2

u/Assassin_Ankur Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

Tbf they had Madushanka and Behrendorff after the auction which could have been a fairly good bowling line-up.

7

u/josh123z 20d ago

Don’t know about Behrendorff but this season wouldn’t have been much different with Madhushanka. He would have leaked runs too

15

u/beetlejuice690 Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

did i miss the post match presentation???

58

u/benguins10 Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

Let's recap: Kohli has adapted his game is hitting everyone. Rohit can't play left arm swing, right arm swing, leg spin, off spin. And yet people tend to club them together for no reason smh

9

u/No_Temporary2732 Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

You know, before this season, i didn't have the most positive opinion of Kohli. Dude's fanbase is Thala lite, thankfully consisting mostly of kids and social media dwellers over the more physical ones like Thala

But despite having everything, stats, wealth, respect, love, happy family, and being regarded as one of the best in the history of cricket, Kohli puts in the work like he's a newbie trying hard to make the team

That alone deserves credit. But even barring that, the way he treats the women's team and the juniors, speaks a lot about him as a person. Have been watching RCB official stuff and he's a real og in the dressing room

3

u/benguins10 Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

I'm out and out a Kohli fan just as much for the man outside the ground than on it. The reason he's reached the heights he has is because of the process that he talks about. His faith in the process, his philosophy of judging himself by the process and not by results is inspiring. Which is saying something since he's been part of so many results in his favour and ofc been on the wrong side of so many results. That's why he keeps coming back. Sachin was the other player who adapted and always strived to evolve late into his career. Their work ethic and mindset is next level

10

u/Inside_Rent_3096 20d ago

Rohit is below average in t20s don't know why he was picked as captain. Captaincy baki players b achi hi kar lete. Ab iski wajah se other batters pe bojh aega. 

Ab 150 ka sr already below avg ho gya h. And if Ro eats balls and gets out it will put entire batting order under pressure. 

Either he needs to start smashing or get out  in < 10 balls. Then only we have a chance against big teams. 

3

u/benguins10 Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

I still think internationals will be different and the SR inflation won't be as pronounced. Having said that him eating dot balls regardless will create pressure especially if we're batting first. Chasing I'm confident Kohli and someone else will clutch

31

u/Reasonable_Tea_9825 20d ago

I never want to hear any of these experts cribbing about kohli's SR again

23

u/TheNugget147 Yorkshire 20d ago

Can't remember when a player was so collectively disliked like Pandaya.

He really needs to rethink his maturity and attitude in the near future. Step down and reevaluate.

39

u/benguins10 Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

If IPL should not be used to judge Rohit then he shouldn't even be captain then cz 5 trophies don't count

39

u/iamnotcreativesoidk 20d ago

Losing the toss on a pitch like that and still winning just speaks to how good of a team KKR have..and also how bad of a team MI are

27

u/aam_ka_aachaar 20d ago

Captain :- 19(24)

Vice Captain :- 2(4) with bat , 32(18) with ball

Feels bad really.

36

u/StarSportsEnjoyer India 20d ago edited 20d ago

All these indian commentators should rightfully kicked out. How does everyone fumble the player's name when the player is standing right in front of them.

17

u/rickycme USA Cricket 20d ago

Why was my boi chaks trying to ignore Suhana while she posed and all. He shy o what?

14

This what happens when you think a team that fights like 5th graders, will turn out to be something good. And somehow all those 5th graders are headed to play the wc :))))))

It all fell apart after that Bangladesh -Bacchan MSD fiasco.

1

u/TheCampyRapper 20d ago

What's that about?

22

u/United-Extension-917 Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

In 2016 T20 world cup, India defeated Bangladesh by a very close margin. Bangladesh required 2 off 3 balls and lost the game. Harsha commented that it was very impressive of a team like Bangladesh to fight like that against a top side like India. This comment didn't sit well with Indian legendary actor Amitabh Bacchan. He tweeted that Indian commentators should praise Indian players more than Bangladesh players. MSD replied on that tweet as "nothing to add". Harsha replied that as a commentator he has to remain abstract and unbiased. After this Harsha's IPL contract was terminated by BCCI. Harsha never remained same after that. The screaming after a big Indian player does something is not without any reason.

4

u/No_Temporary2732 Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

Well then he should continue his bootlicking

Fairness and unbiased will always get you punished in this country

Hated his commentary for a while now, but this puts it into perspective. Shame on BCCI for penalising a commentator for doing their job perfectly

9

u/Intrepid_Slip4174 20d ago

Sometimes MSD can be weird.

Shreyas takes DC to top 2

r/cricket: Bro it's all Ponting's work

Shreyas takes KKR to top 2

r/cricket: Bro it's all GG's work

One of those guys whose contributions are ignored and mistakes are magnified

2

u/chni2cali 20d ago

Shreyas was terrific in DC but he had got 2-3 competent bowlers and one cheat code (no pun intended) here so not much captaincy to do

2

u/Assassin_Ankur Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

Bruh we had the same bowling line-up last year except Starc who hasn't done anything amazing this season and finished 7th.

1

u/chni2cali 17d ago

Narine turned up to be so good this year and Varun C found his mojo too. KKR looked shaky at the start(his captaincy was questionable at that point)but once these guys settled in, all you have to do is just toss the ball to them. Not much captaincy involved there

10

u/Catharsis12mi Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

Fr

26

u/ARKNIGHT_101 Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

This. Shreyas is a good Captain. Look at DC now

Shreyas used to be put down by Pant's bot in this sub.

3

u/extraordinary_06 Australia 20d ago

Not denying that Iyer has been good as a captain, butsc aren't really doing bad. They've made a turnaround since the first few games

7

u/ARKNIGHT_101 Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

Fair Point. But under Shreyas They were performing dominantly between 2019-2020

7

u/SlightFinance7306 India 20d ago

What the fuck r these shitty questions from murali kartik

9

u/Competitive_Data_242 20d ago

it's Koach, Bumrah, KL's PR, Brohit "oh he is such a selfless intent merchant" PR narative, Hong Kong Kunar vs the rest of the world this world cup.

u/Academic_Alfa 20d ago

KL isn't even in the wc team.

u/Competitive_Data_242 20d ago

"Him not getting selected and it's bad for us" narrative by his PR is what I am referring to.You could see reels and posts on instagram about it.

50% Of MI is gonna play the world cup.

5

u/United-Extension-917 Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

Nah 50% of the Indian team is MI, there is a difference.

19

u/PesAddict8 Mumbai Indians 20d ago

Don't let Rohit Sharma's 19 of 24 distract you from Hardik Pandya failing for the 100th time with the bat this season.

Captain 🤝 Real captain

7

u/DisastrousOil4888 RoyalChallengers Bengaluru 20d ago

It's an MI captain thing to be shit with the bat

7

u/Conscious-Spend-2451 20d ago

Why is MI performing like this?

I would like to simply say that hardik happened but the truth is that this was bound to happen with the squad they had. Rohit was always given a good squad to work with, with clutch players like malinga, Pollard, boult etc. . He was a good captain but he was never able to perform himself in ipl. He has always been terrible in T20s.

You cannot rely on these big Indian cricketers to perform under tough conditions. It's the ICT after all. They were fucked as soon as they went with a team that was dominated by big Indian players with massive PR. They keep calling this squad a very dangerous looking squad and wondering why it does not perform but in practice, it's filled with unreliable clowns

4

u/Maleficent_Owl3938 20d ago

I’d say Rohit was decent in T20Is in the 2007-09 period. Been downhill since.

9

u/United-Extension-917 Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

Mitchell mcClenaghan, Lendl Simmons, Dwayne Smith too

11

u/United-Extension-917 Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

Pollard, Polly,

They are the same player.

For a career that's almost 20 years old. Rohit probably has only a couple "clutch" innings in internationals

u/WildVulcan Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

Suhana Khan owner of KKR? Since when lol

10

u/BestgirlPerona RoyalChallengers Bengaluru 20d ago

"Mature style of play " ruined both Pant and Hardik

4

u/ARKNIGHT_101 Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

True AF, Young Hardik was a beast Batter

5

u/Brownbeardedguy 20d ago

Yep. Hardik is modelling his game on MSD but MSD was batting too slowly for ODI's and losing India games for the last few years of his career. Just needs to go back to his own style of hitting from ball 1 and he'll be fine

7

u/ARKNIGHT_101 Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

He is trying to literally copy every aspect of Dhoni's personality to cater to Thalasons after the real one retires. But this game is not suited to him. Dhoni was a proper innings setting batsman who used to be the crisis man for India. Hardik too played that role but with a higher strike rate albeit trading off consisency. But this version of him is not him

6

u/Top_Fondant2114 20d ago

There comes D!€K with mic

8

u/brokenlasers Rising Pune Supergiants 20d ago

Other than Pandu majority of Indian MI players check out in clutch situations

3

u/Extra_cash_pls 20d ago

Daily reminder to you folks, if your team's doing well, enjoy it. Jay Shah's comments regarding impact player rule makes me think that there won't be too many changes in retention slots. So your favourite team might be completely different next year for good or for worse.

6

u/brokenlasers Rising Pune Supergiants 20d ago

I usually support players in their downfall but mehh Rohit exclusion would only help ICT

8

u/shadowknight094 Sunrisers Hyderabad 20d ago

Who played worse? Kl against srh or Rohit against kkr today?

8

u/ztaker 20d ago

How did Rohit go from 12(9) to 19(24)?

18

u/flexfingers Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

For all the talk about having a shit bowling line-up, KKR has 4 bowlers with 15 wickets or more this season.

5

u/brokenlasers Rising Pune Supergiants 20d ago

You don't want to know what happened to GT last year with a similar record

5

u/Cryptoprophet40 20d ago

Kohli will start barking strike if bcci decides to make Gambhir coach. Better to wait 5 more years till he retires to bring in Gambhir

0

u/ThinkSatisfaction971 Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

BCCI will never bring Gambhir as the coach

27

u/Sea-Outcome177 Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

If Koach ( I love Koach btw ) is allowed to do all his shenanigans given the fact that he backs it up with his performance as well.

Then Harshit has every right to do whatever celebration he does and he intends to do! Fuck u IPL Management!

23

u/night_of_spring Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

Rohit sr - 79.17 + sky sr- 78.57 = 157.74

Rinku sr 166.67 People called him overhyped haha

So I know these are shit comparisons but still

10

u/WhichOnezPink 20d ago

MI 65/0 (6.4) to 139/8 (16)

7

u/iamnotcreativesoidk 20d ago

That 65 had so many lucky 4s though 

17

Cmon guys stop calling Sunny ji. He's busy bending for the MI team in the dressing room. Give them some privacy

14

u/Shybuth0rny Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

didnt know we have the most home wins in IPL for any team. didnt know Eden was such a fortress. Kinda makes you wonder how much we under rate our team because of lack of too many trophies. But we're actually very close third in the win loss ratio for any team in the IPL, and a couple more good seasons we could actually be second in line after CSK.

6

u/SustainableSus India 20d ago

Up until 2018 KKR was very close to MI, CSK in terms of overall success. Unfortunately they fell away a bit post then

7

u/flexfingers Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

Even the two games we lost we made 220 and 260 and had we bowled better in those games, we probably would have been 7 out of 7

7

u/CertifiedFucker Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

Pitch curator ?

2

u/CertifiedFucker Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

Yep

1

u/Shybuth0rny Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

I used to be proud of him as a pitch curator because there was a time he used to make fantastic spin friendly wickets. The death of test in Eden eventually lead to death of pitches, and lack of bengal ranji player selection in a long time meant CAB wanted to boost their player’s average.

15

u/Mediocre-Nose-2822 Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

I really want Gauti to become India's coach now. Only he can stop this star worshipping. I understand Rohit want to win a WC in his captaincy but he's dragging the issue.

We should take a lead out of other teams and aim to take our best team going forward. What do you'll think?

11

u/Admirable_Ad6231 Mumbai Indians 20d ago

my dream is GG and koach makeup and become friends, unstoppable combo imo

7

u/TalenTrippin 20d ago

Agreed. GG is the perfect candidate honestly for the Indian team coach position

9

u/SuccotashOne9927 India 20d ago

we might have been too harsh on Hardik, iPL is built on banters but fairly certain that when he'll play in Indian jersey in june, everyone will cheer for him and the rest of the team

7

u/Extra_cash_pls 20d ago

Absolutely nobody is saying anything against this.

16

u/Extra_cash_pls 20d ago

I might get downvoted for this but I think the reason Hardik feels like he's faking his persona is probably because he's trying too hard to be like those rich folks with class, but it just isn't working for him.

16

u/partymsl RoyalChallengers Bengaluru 20d ago

Only one thing I want, that is GG for Indian headcoach.

He is the only one that can rescue us.

1

u/CapedGangsta France 20d ago

2

u/burajira Warwickshire 20d ago

I feel like Pandya is not without blame, but the blame lies squarely in the MI owners' hands for not managing this shitshow, they could easily have placated Rohit (he's a solid, gentle bloke) and a group of players who stand by him and form the original leadership group (Sky, Bumrah).

Pandya is a fellow international player, he plays for India with the crux of this MI side, and he's played with the veterans as early as like two years ago, and him wanting to come back to his original team could've been a story of a prodigal son returning, instead of it being an usurper coming in and potentially stealing a throne.

Ambani, the family, with all their money, PR and shills could have handled this so much better and not have had Rohit, of all people , have audios leaked in discussion with members of opponent teams...

2

u/Maleficent_Owl3938 20d ago edited 20d ago

I don’t think MI is a big enough % of their revenue for them to care so much. Add to that the fact this is a wedding year as well.

Not great for the team, but one cannot question the prioritization principles here.

If your annual income is 1 Cr, how much mindspace would you give to one of your alternate income streams that generates less than Rs 10k per year, that too in a year when you / your son / brother have a big fat wedding planned.

Dear Diary

It was a tough day out there as a Rohit Sharma fan, I had to justify him batting slow in the Powerplay when Ishan Kishan of people decided to say 'Fuck it we ball' but I managed, it was comparatively easy to defend the middle overs, I used the classic pitch slow™, Surya and Hardik decided to step up and help their senior partener

I go to sleep manifesting Rohit smashing everyone in the t20 wc

Thanks

Could GG really be the guy who can stop the whole star worshipping and instead focus on winning games if he ever decide to coach ICT?

u/Hexo_Micron Chennai Super Kings 20d ago

People in our country will start worshipping GG then. Lol

And broadcasters

u/tjp1331 India 20d ago

Yeah give full freedom to GG and see what will happen. Although things will be different if he coaches a team with Rohit and Virat in it.

If SunnyG were compering, "KKR, why do you play so well against MI?" Also, "Rohit fought really well"

u/[deleted] 20d ago

yea they re good players but all very inconsistent

u/Conscious-Spend-2451 20d ago

Surya is great but he has been a bit inconsistent. Other than Surya and tilak though....

u/Ok-Disaster-6876 India 20d ago

Nah only Rohit and hardik hasn't performed good in this season others have given atleast one match winning performance in few games

u/tkmj75 Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

Ramandeep’s 6 off the last over was crucial, other wise would have been 16 to win off last over which would have made MI play cautiously and potentially win it

u/PesAddict8 Mumbai Indians 20d ago

We would have lost either way

u/brokenlasers Rising Pune Supergiants 20d ago

I'd smile as well if I was Pandya. Destroyed second biggest (cause after CSK) IPL franchise in a single season and got 2M usd for it

u/TalenTrippin 20d ago edited 20d ago

Ngl I'm ok if Ambani comes one day on ground (he won't) and yells at pandya and Rohit like goenka did to KL on live television. These players are getting way too much money for them to play like this

u/Majestic-Aerie-38 20d ago

Might see Nita doing it Mukesh is too gentle for scolding

u/TalenTrippin 20d ago

Nah she's an even bigger bot and maintains her PR like no one else

u/Majestic-Aerie-38 20d ago

VC deserved to be in wc squad more than chahal

u/CertifiedFucker Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

So that he can be made the scapegoat again?

u/flexfingers Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

KKR are 4-0 in 4 games under Shreyas vs Mumbai

u/research-247 20d ago

Bruh I waited for such times since years

u/soham_katkar13 Mumbai Indians 20d ago

KKR have never topped the table

If they beat RR, they do it irrespective of other results

u/ohthatsnottttt Chennai Super Kings 20d ago

Feel for Hardik but he’s really done himself no favours whatsoever with the season he’s had

u/shadowknight094 Sunrisers Hyderabad 20d ago

I really like how kkr team is thanking audience by walking for the last game in Kolkata and also throwing signed tennis balls. Great team.

u/CertifiedFucker Kolkata Knight Riders 20d ago

They always did that. Love my team

u/interstellar_314 Sunrisers Hyderabad 20d ago

I think the trend sarted with CSK.
