CSK crowned champions of IPL 2023 after a 5-wicket win (D/L) over Gujarat Titans

[TM Riddle]

That was one of the poorest displays of bowling I have ever seen in a final over. Rashid must be feeling revolted lol.

 

[jnaveen1980]

South Africans have made the SRH already look better

 

[jnaveen1980]

Dhawan may never play for India. But there is no doubt he is a better crunch player than Rohit. Here he is showing again.

 

[cricketjoshila]

It is phenomenal that KKR has scored 200 plus back to back with Dre Russ not scoring anything.

Russel is done and dusted. He is overweight. Unfit. Cannot bowl.

KKR must drop him and play Roy.

It tells you how poor KKR management is, they retained Russel for 16cr and released Gill.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rinku Singh has a very good domestic record.

Avgs 59.xx in Ranji
Avgs 53.xx in 50 overs

He is 25.

And Yash Dayal is his State and team mate. Rinku took him to nets today.

I have seen similar clashes often batsmen get the better of their state bowlers. Last year DK took Ashwin apart in a match.

 

[Ab Fan]

South Africans have made the SRH already look better

Most of the South African cricketers start the tournament really well. I remember Delhi Capitals in 2020 started so well all thanks to Rabada and Nortje duo but come the business end of the tournament, they lost the rythm and their team also started giving average results.

 

[Firebat]

Rinku Singh's 5 sixes in a row to win it in the final over.

He is scoring runs mostly when game is all over for KKR since last IPL. Whenever he comes in with his team having a chance to win, he gets out cheaply.

 

[Rana]

What is the inspiration of Umran Malik’s hairstyle?

Looks ridiculous.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Umran Malik bounced Raza out with a sharp accurate bouncer.

 

[jnaveen1980]

He is scoring runs mostly when game is all over for KKR since last IPL. Whenever he comes in with his team having a chance to win, he gets out cheaply.

He should atleast be bowling to offset his failures with bat.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sharukh khan usually has zero timing a reason why his hits don't travel much despite him being wel built

Not once did Rashid Khan went to Dayal and gave him advice or calm his nerves down. He was just biting nails.

Poor man's Yusuf Pathan.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Markhende is weaving magic here. SRH is producing vintage stuff.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India has a lot of leggies like Bishnoi, Kuldeep, Markhende. Yet we persist with tiktoker Chahal.

 

[jnaveen1980]

148 kph fast and straight. Brar had no clue

 

[jnaveen1980]

Catch dropped. Umran missed a wicket there. Klassen shelled it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

SHikar lone warrior. He is doing a better job than Warner who was not going anywhere.

 

[sam_ahm]

When he started his over he already had a bad day. After first six he was digging the hole deeper and deeper. I will give credit to Rinku for executing each and every six with precision. Sometimes batsmen may not be able to put away every ball for six.

As I said credit to Rinku, but as a bowler you just cannot do that, you cannot lose a game from that situation. That's horrendous display of bowling from Dayal.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Markhende is unplayable today. 4-0-15-4

 

[Champ_Pal]

As I said credit to Rinku, but as a bowler you just cannot do that, you cannot lose a game from that situation. That's horrendous display of bowling from Dayal.

Completely agree with you man. Dayal should not play again. He bowls dollies at 120k's. I am sure there are better bowlers than him in India.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Low intelligent batting by Punjab today. They just had to provide support to Dhawan. Now he is in a situation where he declines singles because they are 9 down.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Singlehandedly taking PKXI past 100.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Dhawan playing like a boss. He is better than Rohit for sure right now.

 

[sam_ahm]

Not once did Rashid Khan went to Dayal and gave him advice or calm his nerves down. He was just biting nails.

Both Rashid and Miller were talking to him, after the first 2 sixes.

 

[Ramsay]

India has a lot of leggies like Bishnoi, Kuldeep, Markhende. Yet we persist with tiktoker Chahal.

Chahal is a fraud. He is in the good books of the captain & the management. By now, Bishnoi should have been the regular leggie.

 

[jnaveen1980]

As I said credit to Rinku, but as a bowler you just cannot do that, you cannot lose a game from that situation. That's horrendous display of bowling from Dayal.

Probably revenge for last year dismissal

Rinku Singh
c †Saha b Yash Dayal
35 28 39 4 1 125.00
12.1 Dayal strikes on the very first ball of the spell. Rinku's stay in the middle ends. Walks down the track to the length ball and looks to heave it away. Only manages an inside edge that Saha takes with a dive to his right. 79/5

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rathee? Sounds like a female name.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Full toss six. Bhuvi put down

 

[Smudger]

MSD's words are golden words. He always thinks bowlers are under more pressure in last over than batsmen. They are more likely to miss the mark. That is pretty much what happened. Scrambled thinking. All he had to do was bowling wide yorker.

MS said this about his OWN mindset.

 

[jnaveen1980]

What an innings. wow.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Shikhar the one man army.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Old man Dhawan is taking on Umran in a nothing to lose situation. He has to bowl slow ball to Dhawan.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Last wicket partnership 42. no.11 has scored 1 run

 

[Champ_Pal]

Chahal is a fraud. He is in the good books of the captain & the management. By now, Bishnoi should have been the regular leggie.

Both Chahal and his wife make dance videos with everyone in BCCI. May be they have an embarrassing dance video of Jay Shah too for blackmailing purposes.

 

[jnaveen1980]

HIghest 10th wicket partnership in IPL history?

 

[Champ_Pal]

Rathee? Sounds like a female name.

Probably Rathi. A Rajasthani surname?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Clutchest knock

 

[Champ_Pal]

Dhawan has been in scintillating form this IPL. He looks a lot younger too with clean shave.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Hope Dhawan gets his century.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Missed his century by 1. He deserved it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

SUperb over from Natrajan. Pin point yorker

 

[Rana]

That has to be one of the greatest T20 innings ever

 

[jnaveen1980]

Handsdown the best innings of this season. 99 not out. Second highest 22.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Dhawan is almost more clutch than the other guys like Rohit/Rahul.

 

[Champ_Pal]

SUperb over from Natrajan. Pin point yorker

A couple of them were full tosses. Had Dhawan played them straight, he would have launched at least one them for a six. Instead he opted for reverse sweeps.

 

[Ab Fan]

Handsdown the best innings of this season. 99 not out. Second highest 22.

What about Rinku then?

 

[jnaveen1980]

What about Rinku then?

With due respect to Rinku Venkatesh Iyer played a big part in that. Here Dhawan had to do everything on his own.

 

[TM Riddle]

Boggles my mind that vadapao fatso Sharma continues to enjoy the perks of being skipper while clutch dudes like Dhawan aren't even in the scheme of things.
With all the domestic drama going in his personal life the composure Shikhar had shown today was nothing but inspirational.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Infact many praise this inings to be one of the best in IPL history.

That is one of the finest knocks by a player in IPL history
@SDhawan25
! To score a 50+ partnership with the no.11 shows what this man is made up of!
@SunRisers
will be kicking themselves for giving away so many unwanted runs! #SRHvsPBKS

 

[jnaveen1980]

Already smart startegy by SRH pushing HB up the order

 

[jnaveen1980]

3 greatly timed shots by Brook

 

[Justcrazy]

Sunrisers should win this , Dhawan played extraordinary innings , but target is well under control. They will also bring in Samad as a impact player and increase batting depth

 

[jnaveen1980]

Canny Curran tied Brook down

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sunrisers should win this , Dhawan played extraordinary innings , but target is well under control. They will also bring in Samad as a impact player and increase batting depth

Unless ball does a lot of tricket it should be a cake walk for them.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sunrisers need not do anything fancy here , just need to keep cool. Runs will come.

 

[jnaveen1980]

141 kph bouncer from Arshdeep good speed

 

[jnaveen1980]

Brook is still getting used to these pitches

 

[jnaveen1980]

Harry Brooke deceived by slower one. Arshdeep bowled a beauty there.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Brook has to prepare himself to play on wide variety of pitches in India. Some will skid, some will turn, some will stop Not going to be "all flat" like you see in Pakistan/NZ.

 

[Justcrazy]

Brook again failing , he was over priced .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Brook again failing , he was over priced .

He looks like he is struggling with handling both pressure and surfaces. Itt is like a cauldron out there surrounded by 10000s of viewers

 

[jnaveen1980]

PUt down

 

[jnaveen1980]

PKXI misses that one gun spinner in their line up to create a bit of panic in the middle overs.

 

[jnaveen1980]

PKXI is exploiting the sluggish nature of the pitch. Nobody times it well.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sunrisers need 99 runs in 69 balls.

 

[Justcrazy]

Hyderabad not rotating the strike , this way they are building pressure on themselves.

 

[jnaveen1980]

160 is probably defendable her

 

[Justcrazy]

Tripathi hits last two balls for boundaries to ease required rate a bit. Tripathi needs to bat till 15 overs at least.

 

[Justcrazy]

Tripathi getting runs now , breaking the shackles.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Genuine impact player Tripathi

 

[Justcrazy]

Almost run a ball required , Tripathi should not throw it away here , need to bat through.

 

[Justcrazy]

Not enough runs for Punjab here , Hyderabads looking in control.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That drop catch of Tripathi is proving to be costly.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Markhende's 4 overs is the difference. 4 -0-15-4

 

[Saj]

SRH have coasted to victory with 8 wickets in the kitty and 17 balls to spare.

After winning the toss and opting to bowl first, the SRH bowlers repaid the faith their skipper had on them. PBKS were rocked through the fall of consistent wickets. Special mention to Dhawan. If not for him, PBKS would have been down and out in the halfaway stage itself.

Dhawan missed out on a ton by a run but it was one of the best knocks that you will see around. The visitors started off well with the ball as Brook and Mayank couldn't make an impact with the bat.

 

[MenInG]

Latest points table

 

[jnaveen1980]

This year tuk tukers have become beasts (Rahane, Vijay SHankar). Beasts have become tuk tukers (Warner, Brook, Green)

 

[Rana]

This year tuk tukers have become beasts (Rahane, Vijay SHankar). Beasts have become tuk tukers (Warner, Brook, Green)

I noticed this too. I can tell you the reason but it may derail the thread

Let’s just say that a lot that has been going on in international cricket and the rankings/ICC awards have enforced all batters to reassess or at least come back to the true essence of what it means to play T20 cricket
