ICC World Cup 2023: India (410/4) advances to the semi-final as an unbeaten side with a victory over Netherlands (250) by 160 runs

[worldlife92]

When Virat Kohli fails in the knockout match like he always does and India lose like they always do

will Indian fans and BCCI want him to play ODI Cricket anymore? Will he be stuck on 49 hundreds?

Sadly Babar is not good enough to make him team reach the knockouts.
Anyway, PCB won't sack Babar after his disastrous run in this WC so I don't see BCCI sacking Kohli even if he doesn't perform in the knockouts

 

[jnaveen1980]

In world T20 SKy made 50 in 25 balls against Netherlands. If he gets going he can score a 100 atleast fast 50

 

[jnaveen1980]

4th half century

 

[Mas-LFC]

Kohli missed an opportunity to get the 50th ODI ton here.

 

[Swashbuckler]

Hope everyone gets batting practice.

 

[Kaptan]

Why is the crowd cheering for RCB ?

 

[globetrotter]

Kohli missed an opportunity to get the 50th ODI ton here.

Don’t worry.,, Kohli will have ample to do that….. considering his fitness level, Kohli will play till next World Cup

Why sack him lol. He is the highest run getter in WC. Delusional Babar fans have to understand that cricket is a team game at the end of the day. Team needs to perform to win the tournaments.

This is RCB's den

 

[Devadwal]

Iyer now please out .we want jadeja ,sky to get some practice before semifinals.
Already enough runs for a win

 

[FearlessRoar]

Roelof van der Merwe has bowled 6 overs 0/31. The man is full of heart, passion and no small amount of skill. His attitude and professionalism is an example to all budding cricketers.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Rohit Sharma - 61 (54)
Shubman Gill - 51 (32)
Virat Kohli - 51 (56)
Shreyas Iyer - 53* (48)

This is the first time all of the top 4 batters have scored 50+ in a same World Cup innings

 

[RamLakhan]

Chinnaswamy (as the name says Small) is like smallest planet Mercury where the temparature is too high (400+ degree Celcius???. So 400 runs is the norm here) Wankhede is like Venus it can go lot hotter at times, that means even more runs...

 

[globetrotter]

Shreya’s pls get out… ideal time for Sky

 

[MP2011]

What a shot that was from Iyer!

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Just tuned in...

Happy Diwali to all PP folks

Namma Iyer Paiyaan going gr8 guns.....Go IYER!!!...

 

[Devadwal]

Iyer is feeling pain on his hand ,if he is not feeling comfortable then he should retired hurt instead of continuing

 

[kron]

This is RCB's den

Are you from Banglore?

 

[Aham Brahmasmi]

Looks like Happy Diwali from Shreyas Iyer today

 

[sweep_shot]

Will India score 400+?

IND - 297/3 (41.3 overs).

 

[IndoorCricket]

Will India score 400+?

IND - 297/3 (41.3 overs).

380 seems probable

 

[MP2011]

300 up

 

[globetrotter]

Looks like Happy Diwali from Shreyas Iyer today

Looks like Shreyas is eating all Diwali sweets alone

 

[RamLakhan]

Rohit Sharma - 61 (54)
Shubman Gill - 51 (32)
Virat Kohli - 51 (56)
Shreyas Iyer - 53* (48)

This is the first time all of the top 4 batters have scored 50+ in a same World Cup innings

5th one got added now...

 

[IndoorCricket]

Lol around 16 runs saved by those stumps.

 

[globetrotter]

5th one got added now...

It’s 3rd time in ODI history 1st five batsmen scored 50s

 

[Ali Active]

van der merwe will be so fun at parties

 

[Mas-LFC]

Don’t worry.,, Kohli will have ample to do that….. considering his fitness level, Kohli will play till next World Cup

He will be 38/39 by next CWC. Surely not? Does that mean India lacks Kohli replacement? When you have a billion to choose from. How about moving on?

 

[sweep_shot]

Don’t worry.,, Kohli will have ample to do that….. considering his fitness level, Kohli will play till next World Cup

If Kohli plays for 4 more years, he should get very close to Tendulkar's ODI runs (may even break it since he is less than 5000 runs away).

 

[sweep_shot]

IND - 330/3 (44 overs).

400 is now possible.

 

[Aham Brahmasmi]

Post Dhanteras
Friend of Dhanshree
On Diwali day
Nearing century

 

[sweep_shot]

van der merwe will be so fun at parties

Why? What happened?

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

We needed Iyer and Rahul to get big runs without Rohit or Kohli before the knockouts. Good partnership. Hopefully they play this way in the knockouts too.

 

[Devadwal]

First world cup century for Iyer.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

100 for Namma Iyer Paiyaan...!!!

Well played....Go IYER!!!

 

[Aham Brahmasmi]

Wanted to see how Sky would have gone on his business in slog overs
But looks like he might not get batting today

 

[FearlessRoar]

Shreyas Iyer has been excellent for India at no.4 in this world cup

 

[sweep_shot]

India - 359/3 (46.5 overs).

 

[IndoorCricket]

KL wants his century.

 

[Aham Brahmasmi]

Fortunately India did not miss Pandyas batting since he got injured. Hope it stays the same in the next two Indian games.

 

[sweep_shot]

KL wants his century.

17 runs away.

 

[IndoorCricket]

Fortunately India did not miss Pandyas batting since he got injured. Hope it stays the same in the next two Indian games.

Kinda of blessing in disguise actually.

 

[sweep_shot]

IND - 368/3 (48 overs).

India need 32 from 2 overs to reach 400. Doable.

 

[Aham Brahmasmi]

Kinda of blessing in disguise actually.

Yeah actually Shamis good form ensured that blessing was received properly.
Still feel sky is the weak link in team and might not do anything special in a 90/4 sort of situation which I hope does not arise in KOs

 

[Aham Brahmasmi]

IND - 368/3 (48 overs).

India need 32 from 2 overs to reach 400. Doable.

No need for India to reach 400 with the kind of bowling we have.

 

[sweep_shot]

No need for India to reach 400 with the kind of bowling we have.

India could've declared at 300 against Netherlands. All top 6 teams should be able to defend 300 against an associate.

 

[shah_1]

Apart from Fakhar, Pakistani batsmen can dream playing such shots. Great striking

 

[IndoorCricket]

Massive hits by Iyer. Powerful fellow!!

 

[dravidthewall]

Shreyas iyyer came form of his life...

 

[sweep_shot]

Back to back sixes.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Rahul looks a bit tired, hope it does not affect his keeping or affect in any way in the semis and finals (if we make it)

 

[Aham Brahmasmi]

India could've declared at 300 against Netherlands. All top 6 teams should be able to defend 300 against an associate.

Fortunately or unfortunately there are no declaration in ODIs

 

[IndoorCricket]

Van Beek got his 100

 

[sweep_shot]

Huge over. 25 off it.

IND - 393/3 (49 overs).

 

[dravidthewall]

25 runs from that over

 

[dravidthewall]

Massive hits by iyyer

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

gotta feeel for KL, he has to finish this over, and then keep for 50 ov....u need to be supremely fit for this gig

 

[dravidthewall]

Sixxxxxx Rahul on 95

 

[sweep_shot]

Logan van Beek's figure today: 10-0-107-0.

 

[jnaveen1980]

All clean cricketing shots.

 

[dravidthewall]

Got 100 in style what a player rahul

 

[IndoorCricket]

Awesome!!

 

[sweep_shot]

India cross 400.

405/3 (49.2 overs).

 

[IndoorCricket]

Kohli used to play those flicks

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Babar Azam could only score 5 vs Netherlands

 

[sweep_shot]

India's highest World Cup score was 413/5 (against Bermuda). They have an opportunity to break it now.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Flicked that for six and gets the ton! What quality batting. This how you demolish associates and lower ranked teams

 

[dravidthewall]

India crossed 400 barrier

 

[Aham Brahmasmi]

Happy Diwali folks !!!
From India's top 5

 

[emranabbas]

Good innings by kl Rahul babar only can dream to play such innings yet his fan boys compare him to kholi.

First babar needs to reach the level of kl Rahul and sheryas

Then think about kohli

 

[IndoorCricket]

Quality innings!! Very happy for Rahul. I used to dismiss him. But he got that wrists man.

 

[Aham Brahmasmi]

Send some bowler instead of sky for the last ball and ask them to try and hit a six

 

[sweep_shot]

2 balls to go.

 

[sweep_shot]

Rahul is gone.

408/4.

 

[jattafridi]

India Champion team

Nobody can beat india World Cup 2023

 

[sweep_shot]

India finish at 410/4 after 50 overs.

They fell 4 runs short of breaking their own World Cup record (413/5 against Bermuda).

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Wow, that was some Diwali fireworks display from the local Banglore kannadiga sahodara Rahul....awesumizmo....!!

 

[TheNeutralist]

That was some crazy striking, all proper cricketing shots

 

[Bhaijaan]

Everything clicked for Bharat today.

They needed the middle order to go into semis with some confidence and what? #4 and #5 both got smashing centuries !!

Diwali fireworks at Bangaluru

 

[Aham Brahmasmi]

Babar Azam could only score 5 vs Netherlands

Thank you for stating that before some one says runs against Netherlands would not count
