[batandballbattle]

their best bowler should have started much earlier though

 

[jnaveen1980]

Virat Kohli at his home ground although he hardly plays matches here at Delhi

 

[Devadwal]

Send SOS to Jaiswal pls for the Pakistan game...

No we need gill for later part of the world cup .If jaiswal came then world cup is over for Gill. I really like jaiswal but gill is needed for knockout match

 

[Vikram1989]

Send SOS to Jaiswal pls for the Pakistan game...

Unless we replace gill or Kishan, jaiswal can't step in the team

 

[Rajdeep]

Naveen has been introduced as soon as Kohli walked in

 

[Mockingbird]

Naveen vs Kohli

 

[Devadwal]

Naveen vs Virat . waiting for this contest

 

[rickroll]

[Devadwal]

Legend waiting for Virat - Naveen contest

Jaiswal should have been in team instead of kishan or sky based on form

He does it with grace and elegance. Only problem is lazy start against swing

Yesterday Pakistan chasing record target against Sri Lanka

 

[Devadwal]

what is so special about Kohli-Naveen match up?

It's due to IPL .long story go and please read on internet

 

[kron]

Even against wilted Afghan attack Kishan perished without a 50.

I am skeptical about this guy opening. Seems a better for middle order. I will be happy if he opens vs us on the weekend. Looks easy pickings for our bowlers provided they are fit.

 

[Mockingbird]

what is so special about Kohli-Naveen match up?

IPL history. They had a big fight during the last IPL.

 

[kron]

Send SOS to Jaiswal pls for the Pakistan game...

I like that guy. Jaiswal looks way more strong. Mentally and physically than kishan. More developed. Indian made a mistake I feel. He should have been picked.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

I'll show myself

 

[Devadwal]

Gambhir is doing commentary in hindi . Gambhir - Naveen - Kohli all together again

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

I like that guy. Jaiswal looks way more strong. Mentally and physically than kishan. More developed. Indian made a mistake I feel. He should have been picked.

Jaiswal will rock world cup 2027. For now Kishan deserved his chances. Kishan is quality player with some limitations.

 

[kron]

Can't blame Afghan bowlers here. ON this ground even Rajitha looked like a proper slogger against SA bowling.

Would be interesting to see who has the best bowling attack.

Has to be between aus SA and India. On their day either can be devastating.


Without naseem we would be 5th at this stage.

 

[kron]

Jaiswal will rock world cup 2027. For now Kishan deserved his chances. Kishan is quality player with some limitations.

Maybe so but from the little I have seen of kishan he seems poor vs any quality wristie and express pace/bounce.

 

[Devadwal]

Gambhir is only talking about Rohit no Kohli talk

 

[Savak]

Scarily destructive Rohit Sharma, cannot bowl anything short or full to this guy when set.

 

[Devadwal]

Rohit Against Rashid - 4 ,4 now 6

fastest t20i hundred is kushal malla
It did come against mongolia though

 

[VForVendetta]

Historically both Ind & Pak used to hesitate always to properly demolish minnows. One of the many great changes that Ganguly brought as skipper was this, he treated the minnows like they should always be treated. Pak desperately need that guy who will bring the same mentality. Minnow bashing is an art in itself. It not only gives you advantage in nrr, but also sends a major statement towards opposition. Babar is obviously hopeless, I hope next Pak captain will look into this. This is very significant while trying to win tournaments.

 

[IAJ]

Did SA make 428 on same wicket?

 

[FearlessRoar]

Century For Rohit Sharma

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Did SA make 428 on same wicket?

Yes

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Feast before the famine hopefully!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Set Rohit > Set Kohli/Set Rahul everyone.

 

[Devadwal]

Thing slow down now

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Feast before the famine hopefully!

True. Pakistan don't do record chases in World Cups like that. Could be a big time choke coming up from PAK

 

[jnaveen1980]

Who has Rohit in the fantasy league

 

[batandballbattle]

double still possible if rohit really farms the strike lol

 

[deltexas]

With today's win , India's NRR takes a huge leap. Can be very crucial if teams are tied on points and there are some surprise defeats down the line

 

[Mockingbird]

Thing slow down now

Kohli effect. He is not an explosive player till the end overs.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Rashid smiling on this humiliated performance. Pathetic behavior

 

[jnaveen1980]

One of the rare occasion these days Rohit bats beyond 20 overs. Kohli is going to make him tired. Come on finish with 4s and 6s

 

[Devadwal]

Kohli making sure Rohit tired by taking single and double

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli effect. He is not an explosive player till the end overs.

He can be. But he won't be. By choice he plays like this. That is why he is master of chase

 

[Devadwal]

Rohit bowled.well batted Hitman

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Nahi yaar rohit

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli making sure Rohit tired by taking single and double

He is out. Kohli and Rohit are not suitable together. Kohli is able to maintain top level fitness. Rohit went in the opposite direction.

 

[Devadwal]

Kohli effect. He is not an explosive player till the end overs.

Kohli can score 28 runs in just 8 ball

 

[Devadwal]

Iyer can take time whatever he want .just practice against quality spinners before Pakistan mat5

 

[Champ_Pal]

Don't understand the hate for Kishan. He did the right thing by going slow and not losing his wicket when Rohit is going great.

Kishan played well for his 47. He is pretty decent for an opener. He is better suited in the middle order when the ball is not moving.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Afghanistan play like timid kittens against India every time.

 

[batandballbattle]

should have sent all rounder thakur
job is basically done and would have been a good sighter for him if needed later in the tournament

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kishan played well for his 47. He is pretty decent for an opener. He is better suited in the middle order when the ball is not moving.

He blows hot and cold. But when on song he can maul the entire bowling unit without sparing anyone.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Iyer can take time whatever he want .just practice against quality spinners before Pakistan mat5

Iyer might be the real weak link in the Indian batting. He is talented but easily succumbs to pressure.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli had a lot of bad balls. He is playing his usual percentage middle order cricket.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Naveen has made peace with Kohli

 

[jnaveen1980]

Iyer might be the real weak link in the Indian batting. He is talented but easily succumbs to pressure.

I don't think there is any evidence for that. If anything he has stepped up many time for India under pressure

 

[Champ_Pal]

Afghanistan play like timid kittens against India every time.

Their strength is India's strength too. India does not succumb to Mujeeb and Rashid easily. Pakistan on the other hand gives loads of wicket to Afghan spinners.

 

[Devadwal]

India need 61 run from 21 over. Should finish in next 10 over

 

[Mas-LFC]

just realised Naveenul Haq got bought by Indian ipl owners and played IPL and Taskin Ahmed who is miles better, experienced international. Hasnt played IPL yet. Make that make sense.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India need 61 run from 21 over. Should finish in next 10 over

With 30 odd to go you can see them playing shots. Kohli doesn't change his game at all as this helps him adapt to different format easily. Otherwise he can be brutal as well

 

[Mas-LFC]

Afghanistan are so pathetic vs India.

They are in awe of the Indian cricketers. Like their wildest dream came true to play cricket against India in India.

I was wrong as still 22 over left and India need 52 runs our Nate run rate going to be increase

 

[Devadwal]

5 bouns run

 

[FearlessRoar]

Virat Kohli and Naveen-ul-Haq hugged each other and put an end to their rivalry

 

[jnaveen1980]

I was wrong as still 22 over left and India need 52 runs our Nate run rate going to be increase

India should be depending on points rather than NRR. If we rely on NRR that is trouble.

We will go through without any run rate pressures .but it's always important to make sure your NRR is good

 

[VForVendetta]

Man, it's hilarious how Pak treat these overhyped spin trios. Just look at the economy of Mujeeb aqa Murali, Rashid aqa Warne & Nabi aqa Saqlain. Literally everytime these guys play against a decent team not named Pak, they falter. Like I expected, Ind totally pounded these guys & SENA will most certainly provide the same treatment. Babar & boys need to wake up & realize these guys are not some invincible aliens. With a bit of game awareness & bravado they can be dealt & dominated.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Taskin is a terrible T20 I bowler. Taken less wickets than matches played . Probably why.

 

[Devadwal]

That huggggee six by Iyer
101M six

 

[Devadwal]

Biggest six of the world cup 2023 so far by Iyer

 

[FearlessRoar]

Shreyas Iyer has now biggest six in ICC World Cup 2023. 101 meters

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shreyas Iyer is a monsterous six hitter. He hit Zampa for 111 meter six in Australia.

 

[ex-q-zit]

Rohit and Shreyas usually hit monster 6s. Rohit does it to both pacers and spinners while Shreyas usually for spinners.

Tbf this is a flat pitch. The few times we played Afghans it was on a spicier pitch with some help for bowlers.

I agree these bowlers can be clubbed easily with a bit of application.

Some serious fire-power in those biceps then. Dhoni esque.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Some serious fire-power in those biceps then. Dhoni esque.

He also has the highest run getterin one over for India. 30 runs or so in one over against one of the Windies spinners

 

[kron]

Iyer has weakness against bouncers directed at his ribs. Apart from that he has no holes. He can play pace and bounce away from his body. Just not directed at his body.

Similar issue with kishan.

If he works on his pull this guy could be a very good player.
