*Official* IPL 2021

lmao there's nothing in your eye, Virat, you drama queen.

Lol.. he was moving to his left as he was taking the catch. Was not stable and hence he dropped it. Basically took it too easy. Also, his idiocy of not bowling Washi in the powerplay is just annoying now.

Man RCB sucked quite a bit today and still kept MI to under 160. SKY and Ishi Kishi are just the prototype modern age batsmen here, who are thinking how to get a boundary no matter what the ball is, what the over is and what the score is. Not even the allrounder triad of MI are that good, in terms of talent and attitude IMO.

MI may still pull this off but they may suck due to their spin attack being weak at least in the early part.

Kohli and Sharma have to be the worst captains around at hiding their frustrations on the field. All those years playing under Dhoni didn't rub off any it seems.

Lol just tuned in but why on earth is AB batting at 5??? That's sheer insanity - especially in a T20

It kinda worked tbf, dunno if you'd want Patidar to be finishing this game off

Yeah RCB could well win this and AB to finish it off, but just feels very weird him at 5. 160 is a middling total. If he gets going at 3 the game is done

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Smart ploy holding ABdV back til late.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah the point of getting guy like Maxwell was to allow the balance to be more spread between top and middle orders.

Amazing, MI have never won their first game since 2013. RCB have never won their first game, period.

Game of nerves. Good game to follow.

Bumrah , oh how I enjoyed it when you got smacked by Alien de Villiers

He bowled trash full tosses and choked when it really matters as usual. The figures overrate his performance today, whereas Siraj's figures were ruined by that idiot Sundar.

Never compare Alien de Villiers to anyone, likes of Pant will never be even 0.00001% of him.

Now to watch CSK smack DC tomorrow.

Alien Da Villiers has a nice ring to it.

Pant could score a triple hundred in the first session of a test match and the above poster would still clamour for Sanju Samson

 

[Starfighter]

Was going to say who the hell is Harshal Patel, until I saw the name 'Marco Jansen' on the scorecard. Who the hell is he?

Saffer Bruce Reid pretty much

 

[duffer]

MI will still win it all.

Whoever wins, cricket will be the loser (but especially if it's CSK)

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

RCB are on track to win the title with that record.

Yes, if Sanju Samson would have bowled that over, de Villiers would've been looking for cover. Also, it's partly Rishab Pant's fault too, if he was playing for Mumbai Indians, they would've lost a little more convincingly, the game would've been over a lot earlier and hence saved a lot of time that people could have used productively.

 

[Noumenon]

That was surprisingly good. With the sluggish pitch talk, I expected an underwhelming kick off.

 

[honestbharani]

Slightly bowling friendly surfaces produce the best LO contests. But they have to bowling friendly as in helps some type of bowler be a wicket taking threat. Not the slow and low nonsense we see in places like Rajkot or Nagpur.
