ICC World Cup 2023: India (357/8) thrash Sri Lanka (55) to win by a mammoth 302-run margin

[Saanji]

Sri Lanka keeping the pakistani bros in by dropping catches one love

Nice to see pakistani cheering for india

 

[Devadwal]

Kohli dropped now.

SL not interested in winning here!

excellent bowling by Pacers but fielding is as always pathetic .

 

[viking2559]

He fell hard on the ground. It looked bad. Hopefully he is fine.

 

[globetrotter]

If SRL wins today, then PAK will be deported

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Gill is not looking same since Dengue.
He lost his fluency and run making ability

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

1st Shot of authority by King

 

[Sunzi]

Yeah SL has bowled well. Lack of support in the field will cost them; these two aren't players you want to give lives to.

 

[emranabbas]

Nice to see pakistani cheering for india

We always like to support the Indians but the hate is always coming from the Indian side

 

[Sunzi]

More misfielding

Punished next ball - great timing.

 

[Ali Active]

Dil dil india today

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

We always like to support the Indians but the hate is always coming from the Indian side

We also love to cheer Pakistan. But, there some people from both the side who don't like peace

 

[globetrotter]

If SRL wins today, then PAK will be deporte

 

[viking2559]

Lol kasun rajitha looks like Hasan Ali and he bowls like Hasan Ali.
He has uncanny resemblance with Hasan.

A taller version of Hasan Ali and he certainly bowls like him.

Jeeve Jeeve IndiaBharatHindustan

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Srilanka should have continued with Madhushanka. Kohli-Gill looked unsettled against him.

Maaro Maaro Maaro
Pakad Pakad ke Maaro

 

[Abraham786]

Amazing catching stats
1. Pakistan no 1. with 86% Accuracy
2. Netherland 2nd
3 . India
Can't believe pakistan no.1 in catching.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Bad drop that

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Magical Mathews is in the attack

 

[pillionrider]

India tried their best to avoid Pakistan in the semis, but Sri Lanka are just hopeless in seeing this blatant tactic

So now Kohli has gone against the team diktat and decided he wants to boost his average vs Pak.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

95% hate is from your side every other bollywood movie is anti Pakistan to brain wash indian public, yet its very rare you will see an anti indian movie from out side

Let's not forget india always involving politics in cricket.

From ourside the general public we don't have an issue

Really

Our bowlers prefer toe crushers and uprooted stumps

 

[Sunzi]

Gill and Kohli going to punish those drops. Gill getting time out in the middle to find form. Kohli looking very good.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Chameera and Madhushanka bowled really well with the new ball.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Only two points are separating Gill and Number 1 OdI ranked batsman.
But seems like he has no interest in that ranking

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

1st shot of authority by Prince Gill
50 for India.. Not fluent but effective start

 

[Sunzi]

Ooft, great shot by Gill.

Rajitha bowling filth and Matthews, dibbly-dobbly.

 

[nish_mate]

That katak sound when Gill times a shot .....Balle Balle Gill

 

[viking2559]

Kasun "Hasan" rajitha at work. He truly is abysmal just like his clone Hasan Ali.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Only two points are separating Gill and Number 1 OdI ranked batsman.
But seems like he has no interest in that ranking

I am glad that he is following in the footsteps of Virat and Rohit, always displaying the intent to win the match rather than playing pointless stat padding rankings.

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Gilly's timing, when he times, is just Wow. That sound from the middle of the middle is just too good

 

[Saanji]

Srilanka should have continued with Madhushanka. Kohli-Gill looked unsettled against him.

Injury

 

[pillionrider]

It would seem like destiny exists if Kohli equals Sachin's ODI 100s in Mumbai, shortly after the latter's statue was unveiled there

 

[Abraham786]

Jay Shah has 500 Hundred and 3000 wicket in international cricket ,He smoked 40000 sixes that's why he's head of Bcci Not because he's son of Amit Shah ( Goon of mundra port later turned in politician) , What if jay shah can't speak even one sentence in English and a Dimwit, nothing matters his cricketing credentials are awesome

 

[kron]

Tuk tuk rohit gone?

 

[kron]

Gilly's timing, when he times, is just Wow. That sound from the middle of the middle is just too good

Can't play on turners or swing friendly pitches though. Weak against inswing.

 

[nish_mate]

Right what do we (Indians) need to do to ensure Babar and co are not taking a flight from Kolkata to Lahore?

Win or Lose?

 

[kron]

Remember when lankans chased 320 plus vs india in champions trophy? 2017?

 

[pillionrider]

There is a big difference between being a troll and being a


You seem to think the difference is subtle

Dude no one is loosing sleep over your unwanted opinion of a politician especially on a non indian site. stick to the game and support the boys

 

[Abraham786]

All your friends would have such friendly names, I am sure.

His mind ( That KRow-n guy) isn't sound Don't take him seriously he's that aunt that turned recently 45 and still wants attention to gain subscriber on YouTube.

So you think Gill is world class vs in swing? Good for you.
Check his test record on turning pitches. He sucks. That's reality.

Can't play swing if his life depending on it. Stop being a baby/fanboy.

You must be jumla party Guy, I can't hold my opinion seeing that ugly legend in stadium

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Srilanka should have continued with Madhushanka. Kohli-Gill looked unsettled against him.

It seems Madhushanka went for Laghushanka.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

You must be jumla party Guy

Maybe. Maybe not. At least i comment on the cricket and also my comment sent some mirch - maybe too spicy for liberandus?
Peace bro - lets stick to the game

Yea the classic oh my lord, he criticised a player I am fan of so he must be wrong. Take your indian tinted glasses and try to see the reality of the situation.

I knew it you hurtYou reacted like jay Shah your brother in law

 

[globetrotter]

Gill-Virat demonstrating how to bat when ball was swinging initially…. Some fans don’t digest as they are inhabit of collapse

 

[Devadwal]

I knew it you hurtYou reacted like jay Shah your brother in law

He was right. Just stick to cricket .

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Feel the odd ball is stopping at times. if pace taken off, will be hard to score in later overs once shine and hardness goes off. I defo feel dew will be a big factor. If we don't score big, defending will be very hard later.

 

[Sunzi]

Always gotta ruin these threads with non-cricketing bukwaas.

Enjoy the sport. If you don't appreciate the batting, root for a disciplined SL bowling performance.

 

[jnaveen1980]

singles singles twos singles.. this is what mostly you will see with VK as long as he is there

 

[kron]

Indian fans are delusional if they think Gill is good on turning pitches. I am not sure if they have touch a ball or bat if they truly believe he has the skill set to do well on turners or against swing.

His average is very poor in nz and England.

15 average in England hahahahha rofl

32 in India which is still mediocre


22 in West indies

Rofl
Shubman loll

Lumber 1 test goat shuby.

Face facts. He is not as good as you think.

Isn't jay Shah head of bcci ? I am sure bcci is cricketing organisation.

He probably eventually will start batting at 3 or 4. He is not a natural opener. Even in under-19 world cup he was not the opener.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

As an indian lover of pace bowling, i like Dushmath chameera. Fantastic rhythmic runup, good load up and terrific follow through. He came in similar time as Jazzboom, Rabada, mustafizer but i feel he has had a bad run with injuries and also do not think he got good coaching in the SL setup. he is another underachiever...just like Litton das, upul tharanga, nathan coulter nile etc

 

[jnaveen1980]

Gilll has still not recovered fully it seems physically. Used to have a lot of stamin playing all 50 overs in a ODI. Dengue took the wind out of his sail.

Srilanka had a very very inexpeirenced bowling unit when they started. This unitis much better.

 

[Abraham786]

Gill isn't same free flowing batsman after dengue recovery ,i want him score big hundred today.

 

[Sunzi]

This looks like a good wicket. Ripper from Hemantha.

Something in it for everyone; bit of zip, bit of spin, and coming on for strokeplay.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Srilanka had a very very inexpeirenced bowling unit when they started. This unitis much better.

yes, lots of injuries to main bowlers. But my point is about Chameera - if not for injuries in the last few years, he would have been much better and hard to face. Has all the attributes to be a real good quick

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Wow...that On-Drive by VK was diamond Crazy WOW

He and Madushanka are frustrating.

Impressive qualities but have a tendency to stray. I thought Chameera bowled well outside the off and caused problems.

Madushanka got the wicket but was largely guilty of an SSA line of attack - mid/leg inswingers, swinging even further down leg.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Gill should stay till the end.

 

[kron]

Not sure why you are bringing Test cricket.

Gill is good on flat wickets. On turners and swing friendly pitches he struggles.

Madhu shanka is a great promise. Thinking bowler. He has pace too

 

[dravidthewall]

king 50

 

[Abraham786]

Rohit definately missed 150(80-90) ball inning hereI don't know why Virat and Rohit's fan troll eachother,i like both of them ,Though i love more King Kohli.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli 50. Silently with singles and twos in the last half hour or so.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Gill should stay till the end.

He will score 250 if he plays until the end.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rohit definately missed 150(80-90) ball inning hereI don't know why Virat and Rohit's fan troll eachother,i like both of them ,Though i love more King Kohli.

Dhawan/Kohli/Rohit combo elite combo.

Yep. good point. This is where coaching and behind the scenes hard work and action comes in.
Re - SSA - i think he has reset quite a bit against Bangla where i felt he was bowling much better and improving. That ball to mahamadullah - clean bowled whilst bowling Lh round the wicket was similar to Wasim in 1992 finals...awesome one

 

[jnaveen1980]

He will score 250 if he plays until the end.

He was playing a lot of long innings before this dengue. After that he is a bit down on energy.

 

[Hitman]

Kohli - 52* (53)

 

[jnaveen1980]

Calm down calm down He is getting carried away

 

[Nikhil_cric]

India tried their best to avoid Pakistan in the semis, but Sri Lanka are just hopeless in seeing this blatant tactic

So now Kohli has gone against the team diktat and decided he wants to boost his average vs Pak.

This will actually kind of ensure that PSK doesn't qualify.

If SL get crushed , they will be completely demoralised and get bulldozed by NZ as well.

And then NZ will qualify on the basis of NRR

 

[Cover Drive Six]

It's the first time I have seen Kohli getting tired while playing.

I think it's too hot in Mumbai.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Shot by Prince Gill
Fifty
By by Babar Azam.. Gill is new number 1 ODI batsman now

 

[Advaith]

Gill is good on flat wickets. On turners and swing friendly pitches he struggles.

Why you are repeating same in so many posts ? Any problem with gill ? He is too young to be a superman ..He has his deficiencies and plus points..He will learn .
