India (181/8) defeat Afghanistan (134/10) comfortably by 47 runs to claim their first victory of the Super 8 stage

[Devadwal]

Its crimes to not Play Jaiswal

 

[Croma]

Rohit is struggling so badly

 

[followed]

Virat Kohli should score nice elegant 30 balls 32 runs.

 

[jnaveen1980]

ANy idea what the ground temperature is. It is seemingly ver hot.

 

[Croma]

2: 8-0

This is what happens when oldies open

 

[RidiculousMan]

Pressure building. I reckon this will be the over where Rohit will take some risk

 

[JaDed]

its not Amreeka Bhartiyo

 

[Devadwal]

Beautiful test batting by Oldies. Playing for lunch so sefty first

 

[sweep_shot]

Joginder Sharma won the world T20 for india so he is better than Shaheen? Right

Joginder Sharma didn't win India any World Cup. Misbah's scoop shot did.

Samuels played 2 match-winning knocks in knockout games. Samuels is better than Kohli in T20.

Kohli is a group stage/bilateral bully.

 

[battler]

Pathetic start from India! Badly missing jaiswal here instead of these oldies

 

[jnaveen1980]

That is close. I think they should go upstairs

 

[followed]

Rohit sharma is such a poor player of left arm seam bowling.

 

[Croma]

Review for lbw. seems like inside edge

 

[RahulBose]

Virat Kohli should score nice elegant 30 balls 32 runs.

Maybe you are watching Babar bat.

 

[sweep_shot]

India - 8/0 (2 overs).

 

[Croma]

WOah! no inside edge

 

[jnaveen1980]

That was a terrible shot. He may get lucky.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Ball is keeping low

 

[Croma]

Rohit gives up trying to slog and takes single.

 

[JaDed]

Joginder Sharma didn't win India any World Cup. Misbah's scoop shot did.

Samuels played 2 match-winning knocks in knockout games. Samuels is better than Kohli in T20.

Kohli is a group stage/bilateral bully.

What are Shaheen Babar Rizwan? They can’t even bully in group stages and Bilaterals

 

[jnaveen1980]

WI pitches have become ant-T20 pitches. Except a few others are poor. This one doesn't look good. Too dry.

 

[Ali Active]

whats with these horns so annoying

 

[followed]

They should bat like rizwan actor and zimbabar

 

[Devadwal]

Rohit already eat two crucial powerplay over

 

[JaDed]

Kohli is badlyyy out of form, needs to be dropped

 

[jnaveen1980]

Joginder Sharma didn't win India any World Cup. Misbah's scoop shot did.

Samuels played 2 match-winning knocks in knockout games. Samuels is better than Kohli in T20.

Kohli is a group stage/bilateral bully.

What nonesense you are talking about. Joginder 3 overs 20 runs before bowling that over. Even Gambhir got out exactly like Misbah in that match.

 

[followed]

Maybe you are watching Babar bat.

Lol I would love that if they play like Zimbabar and rizwan.
Nice 44 off 43 balls LoL

 

[JaDed]

If you dont know the pitch then just bowl first, why are you batting

 

[sweep_shot]

What are Shaheen Babar Rizwan? They can’t even bully in group stages and Bilaterals

You are shifting the goalpost.

We were discussing best batter in World T20 history. Shaheen is not a batter. Babar and Rizwan didn't play before 2021 World T20.

Anyway, best batter is definitely not Kohli.

 

[Ali Active]

Sharma gone

 

[Croma]

Riz Bar... I mean Ro-Ko are killing the game right at the start for INdia

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

What a foolish review

 

[JaDed]

What nonesense you are talking about. Joginder 3 overs 20 runs before bowling that over. Even Gambhir got out exactly like Misbah in that match.

He has different criteria for India and different for others.

What are Shaheen Babar Rizwan? They can’t even bully in group stages and Bilaterals

Be fair man. They did bully india. Remeber 152-0 LOL.

 

[sweep_shot]

Out.

11/1 (2.5 overs).

 

[Croma]

Rohit should retire seriously.

 

[globetrotter]

Ball holding on the pitch from the start … batting is not easy

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bye bye Rohit. Another useless WT20 innings

 

[Sunny_majoka]

These two will cost India another world cup

 

[battler]

Aur khilao oldies ko

 

[Devadwal]

Idiod gone

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rohit should retire seriously.

Like now after this match lol

 

[Ali Active]

why is jaiswal not playing

 

[JaDed]

You are shifting the goal post.

Anyway, best batter is definitely not Kohli.

Lol they have played 3 Wcs now you can judge them along same lines.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Lol what a pathetic shot. Rohit looks done. Not the same quick batter as he used to. Called this in WC23 and IPL.

 

[mominsaigol]

Pfftt, rohit is such a thorn in t20 now smh.

 

[JaDed]

These two will cost India another world cup

All Indians know this and we deserve it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

He is old, reflexes are not the same. Even when he was young and fit Rohit was not exactly firing on all cylinders in world T20s.

 

[U$ofA]

Not sure which pair is worse. Babar-Rizwan or Sharma-Kohli.

 

[RidiculousMan]

He is old, reflexes are not the same. Even when he was young and fit Rohit was not exactly firing on all cylinders in world T20s.

Yea but you can see he mistimed this shot so bad

 

[sweep_shot]

Lol they have played 3 Wcs now you can judge them along same lines.

My top 3 best World T20 batters of all time:

1) Marlon Samuels
2) Ben Stokes
3) Chris Gayle

Again, this is based on overall impacts (knockouts particularly). Not stats.

 

[Croma]

Pant with a stylish boundary first ball

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yea but you can see he mistimed this shot so bad

He was doing the same in IPL all season. Everyone saw that except Jay shah who made him a captain well before IPL

 

[cricketmania22]

What are Shaheen Babar Rizwan? They can’t even bully in group stages and Bilaterals

It’s funny, Indians have been giving their point of view/criticizing Pakistani players’ performances consistently for past so many days, but as soon as somebody says anything about Indian players, you guys get so defensive that you have to bring in Pakistani players to counter it.

 

[Croma]

KOhli tuk tuking

 

[sweep_shot]

If Afghans can restrict India to 130-140, they can chase it down maybe.

 

[AAli98]

Sharma is not the same player since the final last year.. well him & Dravid shouldn’t have doctored the wrong pitch.

 

[cricketmania22]

Rohit Sharma shouldn’t be playing T20s anymore.

 

[Croma]

Kohli to play an anchor innings

 

[Devadwal]

Opening combo of pant and Jaiswal is ideal for T20 instead we have two oldies

 

[cricketmania22]

If Afghans can restrict India to 130-140, they can chase it down maybe.

130-140 would be under par on this pitch by some margin.

 

[mominsaigol]

Not sure which pair is worse. Babar-Rizwan or Sharma-Kohli.

Ba/riz no question. But sharma-kohli are bad

 

[shortbread]

Need to poach Afghanistan's fielding coach, have turned them into a stellar fielding unit!

 

[followed]

Keep on carrying Virat. I want you to score nice 50 off 45 balls.

 

[sweep_shot]

India - 25/1 (4 overs).

So far so good for the Afghans.

 

[Croma]

Feels like Rizwan tuk tuking and asking Saim to attack.

 

[sweep_shot]

130-140 would be under par on this pitch by some margin.

I see. Afghans are doing well then.

They are on top now.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sharma is not the same player since the final last year.. well him & Dravid shouldn’t have doctored the wrong pitch.

Nothing to do with final. He can still play okay in ODIs. I thought he was gone for good in T20s. Then he came back made a century against Afghanistan

 

[jnaveen1980]

This pitch looks way too dry from the outset.

 

[Croma]

Afghanistan playing it smart and keeping Kohli at the cease. The longer he plays, more Afghanistan's chances of restricting India

 

[Devadwal]

Need atleast 160 to have some chance.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Lol what a pathetic shot. Rohit looks done. Not the same quick batter as he used to. Called this in WC23 and IPL.

Loss of fantasy points too

 

[JaDed]

Naw I’m responding to the poster due to his dual standards.
Every Indian fan is criticising current Kohli and Rohit.

 

[Croma]

WHat!!!!!!!!!!!!1 by Kohli

 

[JaDed]

My top 3 best World T20 batters of all time:

1) Marlon Samuels
2) Ben Stokes
3) Chris Gayle

Again, this is based on overall impacts (knockouts particularly). Not stats.

Gayle definitely for me as well. But if its all about 1 wc , then Yuvi too.

The way you put Samuels in this , Gambhir becomes top bat as well for winning us a WC

 

[globetrotter]

This six shot brings back memory of Virat’s six at MCG of Rauf

 

[jnaveen1980]

Just heard Kohl is asking for what. I can already feel the heat just by looking at the ground.

 

[mominsaigol]

Warner should be here as well just saying.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pant is the big fish here.

Kohli may hit six once in a while but he is a tuktuk batter.

 

[Champ_Pal]

why is jaiswal not playing

To accommodate the Fat man Rohit.
