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

What it was ? shot By Gill and Fifty gets in King Babar's stats .

 

[jnaveen1980]

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

I think it's too hot in Mumbai.

yea. I am not sure why Mumbai is extremely hot this time of the year. Seems it is hotter than Chennai.

 

[kron]

Gill has ridiculous power..
If SA don't get him out early on flatter wickets he will destroy you

 

[jnaveen1980]

I am surprised SL chose to field here in this heat. Why would you torture yourself?

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Very tough whether conditions to play cricket. Humidity will exhaust players very easily. Tough for pacers.
India should have rested Bumrah

 

[Ahmed216]

Hoping for a Kusal Mendis double hundred today

 

[kron]

I am surprised SL chose to bat here in this heat. Why would you torture yourself?

Bat?

 

[jnaveen1980]

This weather will drain every ounce of energy

 

[mominsaigol]

Today's probably the day Gill become no 1.

Also After watching Gill I can confidently say he'll be a mix of rohit and kohli.

But he isn't going to surpass kohli, he won't have that impact sadly.

He'll still be an atg though.

 

[pillionrider]

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

Dhoni was blatant in 2019. I see we have adopted the subtle method this time

 

[IamIndian]

Let's enjoy the Royal 100 runs partnership between King Kohli and Prince Gill together!

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

What it was ? shot By Gill and Fifty gets in King Babar's stats .

Only 2 points separating Gill and Babar..
So any decent innings today from Gill would make him number 1 ODI batsman

 

[IamIndian]

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

Bye Bye ... actually

 

[jnaveen1980]

Srilanka has had good fielders. Also terrible fielders over the year. Dilshan was a great fielder. Matthews is another good one. Guys like perera are all bad.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ball is stopping a bit.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Kohli is such a overrated batsman.
He has no centuries against associate and weaker nations

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hemanta bowls like Shadab. Similar release and length mostly.

 

[Devadwal]

Hoping for a Kusal Mendis double hundred today

Replace Kusal Mendis with " Sri Lanka team"

 

[nish_mate]

Was Rohit in the CT13 squad?

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Very tough whether conditions to play cricket. Humidity will exhaust players very easily. Tough for pacers.
India should have rested Bumrah

Luckily, things would cool down in the evening

 

[BouncerGuy]

After 22 overs, India is 132/1. Pretty strong start this from India despite losing their captain on the 2nd ball of the match. Excellent partnership is building here

 

[globetrotter]

Hoping for a Kusal Mendis double hundred today

Height of imagination on the background of 50/10 Asia cup final

 

[jnaveen1980]

Typical innings building by Kohli.

 

[viking2559]

I really want Virat to equal that guy's century record. It would bring a lot of joy to me.

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Typical innings building by Kohli.

Almost mechanical precision. He should become a coach after he retires, he is so technical.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bit unusual even Kohli is feeling the heat. Very rare sight. Typically he is supremely fit to handle these conditions.

 

[mominsaigol]

Bit unusual even Kohli is feeling the heat. Very rare sight. Typically he is supremely fit to handle these conditions.

It's boiling hot bro.

He's Human after all.

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is utterly drenching for Theekshana

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

I am feeling hot just watching the players sweat.

 

[globetrotter]

Today 37 degree in Mumbai…. October heat extended in November

 

[jnaveen1980]

Today 37 degree in Mumbai…. October heat extended in November

wow.. Humidity will make it feel like 40

 

[jnaveen1980]

I am feeling hot just watching the players sweat.

Yea..You can feel what they go through

 

[mominsaigol]

So kohli 100 today means Sachin record equaled

 

[Ahmed216]

Replace Kusal Mendis with " Sri Lanka team"

Why should I? My SRL brothers are lovely people I want them to win

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

lol why are they playing Dua Lipa? Is the whole crowd from South Bombay?

 

[Ahmed216]

Height of imagination on the background of 50/10 Asia cup final

Hope keeps us going

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

October heat is more damaging than Summer heat. This heat is so irritating and exhausting.

 

[jnaveen1980]

lol why are they playing Dua Lipa? Is the whole crowd from South Bombay?

That and calm down is what they play everywhere

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

So kohli 100 today means Sachin record equaled

Record can be equaled. Sachin's stature.. never. Sachin is an emotion for Bharat. Even Kohli would agree to that.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Kohli has already missed two hundreds in the series. Hopefully not this one
He is looking so tired

 

[Rajdeep]

Slowman Gill should up the ante a bit. Very selfish batting

 

[globetrotter]

lol why are they playing Dua Lipa? Is the whole crowd from South Bombay?

Which song? My fav. Be the one

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Srl are helping with some really poor hit me balls.

Kohli has already missed two hundreds in the series. Hopefully not this one
He is looking so tired

 

[jnaveen1980]

Master of singles and twos. Modern great in that regard. Nobody comes close to Kohli.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Slowman Gill should up the ante a bit. Very selfish batting

He is a great accelerator. Would love him to be at the end. India has a lot of overs left. We bat only till 6th as Jaddu can't accelerate.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Who song?

Dance with me from Dua Lipa.. Only South Bombay crowd would listen to such songs. Should be playing Chikni Chameli

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Theekshana is so ordinary in this world cup
Is he exposed?

 

[mominsaigol]

Record can be equaled. Sachin's stature.. never. Sachin is an emotion for Bharat. Even Kohli would agree to that.

They played in different eras. The 2 ball era is easier then sachin's one ball era.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Theekshana is so ordinary in this world cup
Is he exposed?

He is.
He failed even on spin pitches.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Pathum Nisanka seems to be a quality fielder.
His catch attempt in last match was next level

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

They played in different eras. The 2 ball era is easier then sachin's one ball era.

even if played in the same era.. still would have been same. Sachin is batting perfection. A boy genius.. one of the rare prodigy who lived up to all the expectations and pressure.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Theekshana is so ordinary in this world cup
Is he exposed?

He is still a good bowler on some tracks like Chennai.

 

[globetrotter]

Dance with me from Dua Lipa.. Only South Bombay crowd would listen to such songs. Should be playing Chikni Chameli

Not true….. I live in east Mumbai… D.Lipa’s Be the one song is my fav

 

[mominsaigol]

even if played in the same era.. still would have been same. Sachin is batting perfection. A boy genius.. one of the rare prodigy who lived up to all the expectations and pressure.

Do you have a reading disability? I said Sachin is superior

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Both Gill and Kohli are looking very tired
I'm sensing a wicket here..
They should sent Suryakumar ahead of Iyer.

 

[viking2559]

Let's go Virat Kohli... Only 17 to go now.
That other guy would feel envy when Virat will equal his record and he is in attendance as well. LOL. Hahahahah

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Do you have a reading disability? I said Sachin is superior

where did i contradict that. I just gave my opinion about same eras as well.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Both Gill and Kohli are looking very tired
I'm sensing a wicket here..
They should sent Suryakumar ahead of Iyer.

I am sure that Iyer guy will love this pitch.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

He is.
He failed even on spin pitches.

Gosh, this world cup exposed so many players.
Babar, Siraj, Theekshana, Imam, Rauf, Bazball all are exposed

 

[globetrotter]

Indian batters we’ll experienced in such weather conditions… March to may more hottest than this

 

[jnaveen1980]

I am sure that Iyer guy will love this pitch.

This is his domestic home ground.

 

[viking2559]

India should score 400 here.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Kohli looks tired... very rare to see him tired.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Gosh, this world cup exposed so many players.
Babar, Siraj, Theekshana, Imam, Rauf, Bazball all are exposed

He played 5 matches in this world cup and took 3 wickets with an average of 80.

 

[globetrotter]

Kohli or Gill who is hitting century first?

 

[RamLakhan]

Gill and Pandya are important for Knockouts! Pant would have been another great addition...

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

[mominsaigol]

Fair but Sachin is not batting perfection .

Kohli imo is on par if not superior but I'd get flack for this obviously. And excused of different eras.

Kohli would do just fine in that era as well lol.

 

[jnaveen1980]

England on a good batting track floundered against SL because they wanted to bazball instead of rotating strike for a while. Instead of scoring 325 they ended up scoring 160

 

[globetrotter]

Kohli looks tired... very rare to see him tired.

Many fans looks tired here than kohli

 

[viking2559]

Bazball is for tests. England have been doing this in ODIs for number of years now.

People are mistaking test bazball approach with the way they play Odis. They have been doing this since they made Eoin Morgan the captain.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Only Madushanka can provide breakthrough for Lanka

 

[jnaveen1980]

I have no idea why are they backing up too far in this heat. Extra run missed lol

 

[Sunzi]

SL being punished for those drope catches.

India could quite easily have been 30-3. Seized their chances - 380 looking on here.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

4 by Gill
Century Race between King and Prince

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Gill! That was a slap of a 4444

 

[globetrotter]

Looks like gill is winning century race

 

[Sunzi]

Madushanka strikes. Shame he had started to look good.

Gill gone for 92.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Only Madushanka can provide breakthrough for Lanka

Gill Gone

I know. just borrowing the term. But they hav enot done much of this outside their comfort zone.
