India [163/2] beat England [159/8] by eight wickets in first T20I, lead series 1-0

[dravidthewall]

Good player but i get ghareebon ka Kohli type vibes from him.

One more shot four ....great batting

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Rahul > kohli

 

[Slim]

One more four...enjoy the batting

Good shot.

My comment was about his personality.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Rahul you beauty!

 

[Peshwa]

Good player but i get ghareebon ka Kohli type vibes from him.

Looking at his shots he doesn't look like gareebon ka kohli

 

[joeldsouzax]

We Pakistani are open hearted people, Indians are more than welcome on this forum (mini wars without hate are fun and also the comments regarding cricket) but the conversation should be cricket related and hatred should be avoided, being bit biased towards your side is natural but "BIT" is the key word.

spot on! this is cricket, if you get riled up on a cricket match then its not weird that our governments are also at cross. lets be pals here, and then we can at least hope that future would be good for both our countries.

 

[Sam99]

KL Rahul batting (in LOI's) reminds me of jos buttler's batting lol.

 

[Slim]

KL on fire. Impactful batting.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Keep rohit on strike

 

[Titan24]

Where are you guys hearing Harbhajan? Sky?

Sony is Deep Dasgupta and Graeme Swann.

Yes Harbhajan is on sky. Then Sky panel except harbhajan is better than sony I guess.

 

[introvert]

Rested for an important match like this one? Should've been rested vs a second string Australian side.

His performance was nothing special. Tom Curran was expected to play but due to side strain he is out of whole series .
Wood will feature in odis.

 

[Sam99]

Looking at his shots he doesn't look like gareebon ka kohli

yep infact looks like kohli is gareebon ka kl rahul for LOI's.

 

[dravidthewall]

Sharma four

 

[Slim]

Jordan is bowling utter tosh.

 

[Titan24]

KL has changed his game a lot in last 6 months, he has become pretty dynamic

 

[Varun]

Will amount to jot if he doesn't carry through with the form to the tests.

 

[dravidthewall]

Four sharma aag

 

[BlackShadow]

Indian team is a little too much even for this improved England. It is just scary how dominant Indians are in all formats !

 

[Titan24]

Will amount to jot if he doesn't carry through with the form to the tests.

That is if he is played over vijay or dhawan

 

[dravidthewall]

Indian team is a little too much even for this improved England. It is just scary how dominant Indians are in all formats !

Just the worry that...they have to be fit through out the series

 

[Sam99]

Indian team is a little too much even for this improved England. It is just scary how dominant Indians are in all formats !

Mate the tour just began today and not even first match is over. Need to be less overconfident like we were in past. We have to prove alot in tests. No need for all this.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

It’s scary how you think India is dominant in all 3 formats!

 

[Titan24]

Indian team is a little too much even for this improved England. It is just scary how dominant Indians are in all formats !

England's strength is their batting and captaincy of Morgan, they faltered a bit in the batting and now its upto Morgan's captaincy to make the difference.

 

[dravidthewall]

Four rahul

 

[joeldsouzax]

It’s scary how you think India is dominant in all 3 formats!

The rankings already show it, but will have to see in T20 now.

 

[dravidthewall]

Rahul sets stage on fire

 

[introvert]

England must play seam bowling allrounder to provide support to bowling attack.
5 bowling options will never work against good batting sides like india since spinners will easily milked by indian batsmen.

 

[Titan24]

Rahul is the danger man here at the moment for Eng

 

[Sam99]

Rahul to me is bigger entertainer (if he keeps this form) for me than any other players from xi.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

The rankings already show it, but will have to see in T20 now.

Lets see the rankings after this England tour!

 

[joeldsouzax]

Yeah you are right

 

[Titan24]

Woakes and Stokes are recovering from injuries might come for the ODIs

 

[BlackShadow]

Just watching Rahul bat is incredible these days. This guy is all set to go next level.

 

[Slim]

It’s scary how you think India is dominant in all 3 formats!

Just enjoy the show, its going to be a fun ride for us as spectators ifywim.

 

[dravidthewall]

Rashid in to the attack

 

[Sam99]

Sharma doing hales here.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

What a shot

 

[Titan24]

Rahul to me is bigger entertainer (if he keeps this form) for me than any other players from xi.

Exactly him and Kohli when is touch are the only ones

 

[dravidthewall]

Rahul four

 

[LastManstanding]

Just watching Rahul bat is incredible these days. This guy is all set to go next level.

Shame he hasn't got many chances.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Dropped

 

[Mp812]

Dhawan and Rohit as openers
Rahul, Kohli next followed by Raina,Dhoni and Pandiya
Good batting lineup.
Bowlers : Kuldeep, chahal, Bhuneshwar or bumrah and umesh.
Not bad at all as a team.

India need 100 runs in 78 balls ..Achievable?

 

[dravidthewall]

Six rahul

 

[Sam99]

Shame he hasn't got many chances.

Got injured at wrong time but should have played for rahane in odi series vs south africa. I doubt he will get dropped now and looks sure for worldcup. If only dk can make place for pandey/rahane in odi site.

 

[Sam99]

Rahul makes rohit look as dravid of t20.

 

[dravidthewall]

Six rohit

 

[Rahul1]

Got injured at wrong time but should have played for rahane in odi series vs south africa. I doubt he will get dropped now and looks sure for worldcup. If only dk can make place for pandey/rahane in odi site.

Oh please god no.

 

[Kroll]

This Rahul's good, Ind batting x10 better than Paks. [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Rahul makes rohit look as dravid of t20.

If he gets in touchbit will require three rahul to match him

 

[dravidthewall]

Baap of kuldeep got fainty from rohit...sic

 

[Sam99]

Oh please god no.

why not? dk is better than bot rahane and pandey in odis.

 

[dravidthewall]

Six*

 

[introvert]

Woakes and Stokes are recovering from injuries might come for the ODIs

I know that that's why They have Sam Curran in the squad.
England playing extra batsman which they don't need at all considering their batting depth.that extra batsman is also affecting batting order.
One of roy /hales/bairstow/root must sit out.

 

[mkyawar]

I think we can clearly see that the ranking is biased. Compare our number 3 Talat with rahul. Lol

 

[Titan24]

Kl Rahul is a big example of how change in mindset and thinking positively can make you a better batsmen or better in any profession. Everybody knew he had the talent but, his mindset and style of play never really impressed me. Now with this changed mindset he is a dangerous player.

 

[Sam99]

If he gets in touchbit will require three rahul to match him

Thats in one out of 3 - 4 innings mate.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Not been a great few days. Pakistan loses, England mucks up and on top of that, KL Rahul out of the blue starts playing like Pietersen

 

[Mp812]

why not? dk is better than bot rahane and pandey in odis.

and he can keep wickets too in case needed

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

50 for kl rahul

 

[dravidthewall]

Four more rahul

 

[Bhaijaan]

Indian team is a little too much even for this improved England. It is just scary how dominant Indians are in all formats !

The most balanced and dominant all round all formats team in world cricket. They will smash England everywhere.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

According to rankings, babar is better than rahul, lmao

 

[Tyler Durden]

50 for Rahul. Take a bow champ!

 

[Sam99]

Kohli enjoying view from dugout and thinking when i will get to score runs? against Anderson?

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Thats in one out of 3 - 4 innings mate.

Yup that's the worry.

 

[Bhaijaan]

According to rankings, babar is better than rahul, lmao

It is a joke.

 

[dravidthewall]

Four more rahul beauty

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Rahul is toying with the bowlers

 

[dravidthewall]

Six what an shot

 

[Sam99]

Yup that's the worry.

Was pretty good in 2017 but since south africa test tour he looks to doubt himself.

 

[Titan24]

I know that that's why They have Sam Curran in the squad.
England playing extra batsman which they don't need at all considering their batting depth.that extra batsman is also affecting batting order.
One of roy /hales/bairstow/root must sit out.

Yes I agree that they need 6 bowlers with no bowler who can tear the opposition batting lineup

 

[Tyler Durden]

Rahul making a mockery out of this Eng bowling.

 

[Bhaijaan]

He is showing off now.

KL RAHUL IS SHOWING OFF!

 

[JaDed]

Ranking is over time, not based on domestic or 3-4 Intl matches.

 

[Varun]

Jordan is bowling utter tosh.

Moeen is getting bashed as well. Time for you to call it a night.

 

[dravidthewall]

Gareebon ka kohli toying with england bowlers

 

[Usman Chadda]

Kya khaa kar aaya hai bhai ye

 

[dravidthewall]

Six rahul one more

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

That was a ridiculous shot.

 

[Peshwa]

Rahul. ...What was that
