*Official* SriLanka in India 2022

I'm certain India would never have a number 5 that averages 9

Rahane tried his best, tbh.

Tbf our number 5 right now seems to be Pant

 

[OverratedSanity]

Embuldeniya is really good. Almost had Pant second ball there, great variation in flight.

Also yeah kohli might never score a hundred again ffs. Good ball but a pretty lame dismissal, hardly as unplayable as he made it look.

Pant ahead of Iyer, really?

maybe I don't know what i'm talking about here, but for me from the games I've watched in recent times,
Iyer appears to be India's next big super star.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Loose again. This just got interesting. They've really squeezed the runrate impressively the last few overs.

 

[cnerd123]

Yea India have been soft today. Not stamping their authority the way the should have after winning the toss.

Hope Pant and Iyer go big. We've still got Jaddu/Ashwin/Jayant to come as well.

not so sure about soft, still scoring at nearly 4 an over and still on target for 400+

Rohit and Vihari played loose shots. Mayank and Virat were loose in defense but at least with Virat, it is the way many SLAs get batsmen out here. The trajectory is flat, so batsmen instinctively think they have to play back but the length is still full enough that you really should have been forward. Standard MO for guys like Jaddu and Axar. Mayank just looked like a break in concentration.

400+ is minimum requirement here. I think 400 is par on this track right now.

Embuldeniya is really good. Almost had Pant second ball there, great variation in flight.

Strange statistics though, averages 33 with the ball but takes almost 5 wickets every game.

 

[honestbharani]

so that's 3 batsmen out to soft defensive shots. Pretty obvious they were taking it a bit too easy after getting a start there - Mayank, Virat and Shreyas.

maybe it was soft defence but it was an absolute gem from Dhananjaya.

Pant

 

[cnerd123]

We are so lucky to be living in the era of Pant

What a player

 

[OverratedSanity]

32 off his last 8 balls

Meh he’s no generational talent like Ollie Pope

[Xix2565]

Smh why can't you bat like this ______ (insert any Indian bat)?

 

[cnerd123]

making it look so easy out there

 

[cnerd123]

Ooof. Good ball, lapse in concentration, unlucky Pant
