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

[JaDed]

No way should had Rohit , Jaddu and Kohli been near this format, I ‘m ready to lose to PCT but fgs get in Jaiswal Gill and Rinku.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Dube is not built for these slow pitches. He needs some pace in the wicket. Hopefully he fires for India today.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Will AFG finally be able to beat India today? Or will they choke again?

If INdia goes past 180 then it is tough. But India might not get there. Bumrah's 4 overs and Kuldeep 4 overs will decide the fate. If Kuldeep gets purchase he is hard to pick. Even world class batsmen have struggled to pick him.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Dube is one of those guy who has the capacity to keep the spinners away from attack when on song.

 

[Human786]

79/3 in 10

BCCI does not have the guts to do that. They should have been dropped from T20 squad 2 years ago. Just like Dhoni, these oldies will not vacate their seat until you bring in the ushers to hold their neck and force them out.

I dont see India losing today to be honest. I see India scoring 180+ and then choking AFganistan and winning.

Nah he can play well on slow pitch as Chennai pitch also slow .

Is that why BCCI wants Gambhir?

Watch us crumble

 

[Champ_Pal]

165 should be winning total on this wicket. Indian bowling should be able to easily defend that total.

 

[Vikram1989]

Since kohli can't slog rohit ,pant got out trying to up the ante and finally kohli gone.

 

[Devadwal]

I dont see India losing today to be honest. I see India scoring 180+ and then choking AFganistan and winning.

India is not going to score 150 let alone 180 .

 

[JaDed]

India is not going to score 150 let alone 180 .

Haha Indian fans have seen this script, I thought the exact same thing seeing his post.

 

[RidiculousMan]

How many more sixes will Dube hit today?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Since kohli can't slog rohit ,pant got out trying to up the ante and finally kohli gone.

Pant plays like that always. But Rohit just wanting to slog won't make him any better than Kohli. He is better when he takes time and accelerates gradually.

 

[Champ_Pal]

India is not going to score 150 let alone 180 .

160 will be a minimum here.

Its good that the tailenders are already back in the hut.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They are showing Raina's 100 from 2010. Damn. what a clean striker he was.

 

[Devadwal]

Haha Indian fans have seen this script, I thought the exact same thing seeing his post.

Yes. We watched enough game to understand where is our team stand.

 

[JaDed]

Rashid ll get atleast 1 more

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pant plays like that always. But Rohit just wanting to slog won't make him any better than Kohli. He is better when he takes time and accelerates gradually.

In T20 Rohit does not have the luxury to do that. Works in ODI's beautifully.

 

[Devadwal]

160 will be a minimum here.

Its good that the tailenders are already back in the hut.

Rashid khan easily can get two more wickets. Watch out for that

 

[Champ_Pal]

Poor bowling by Rashid.

SKY is telegraphing his intentions of slog sweep, but Rashid is not adjusting his line.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Virat Kohli - Rohit Sharma scores as opening pair in T20WC 2024

22 vs IRE
12 vs PAK
1 vs USA
11 vs AFG

 

[sweep_shot]

SKY seems to be in good form today.

 

[Devadwal]

Gone .its pad first

 

[Croma]

India has such a long batting line up.

Pandya, Axar and Jadeja yet to bat

 

[MP2011]

Rohit, Kohli and Jadeja are really shameless.

 

[Croma]

Virat Kohli - Rohit Sharma scores as opening pair in T20WC 2024

But Dravid will still persist with them

This is the best Dravid and the think tank could come up with

 

[Human786]

Surya pit raha hai Rashid ko ... Dube OUT

 

[Devadwal]

Gone

 

[RidiculousMan]

Lmao. That's as clear as it gets. I'm surprised Dube didn't walked away as soon as it hit him.

 

[JaDed]

And Rashid bhai making sure getting a wicket every over of his

 

[sweep_shot]

Out.

India - 90/4 (10.5 overs).

Rashid gets his third wicket.

 

[oatmeal]

This better be the last time we see Dube in an Indian jersey this WC

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yes. We watched enough game to understand where is our team stand.

Until we see the end of Rohit/Kohli/Jadeja this team is going to be predictable.

 

[Champ_Pal]

That looks out.

 

[Devadwal]

Rashid khan easily can get two more wickets. Watch out for that

@Champ_Pal told you. Poor shot by Dube

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pathetic dube. Rinku, Gill, Jaiswal, ABhishek, Parg, Samson are not in because of this guy

 

[Asif321]

Restrict them to 150

 

[JaDed]

India has such a long batting line up.

Pandya, Axar and Jadeja yet to bat

They are batsman then I’m Elon Musk.

 

[Vikram1989]

Wow supposed spin basher doesn't have any clue to play spin and rinku was thrown out for him

 

[Champ_Pal]

@Champ_Pal told you. Poor shot by Dube

We will still manage 160 minimum. Still have some batting to come.

 

[Croma]

Carribean Panda will come to bat and destroy Afghanistan

 

[Devadwal]

And Rashid bhai making sure getting a wicket every over of his

He is only threat yet dube played so careless . Now pandya will play tuk tuk .
Send axar

 

[shortbread]

Rashid, easily among the best match-winners in Asian cricket, perhaps as good as Bumrah.

 

[mominsaigol]

Lmao. That's as clear as it gets. I'm surprised Dube didn't walked away as soon as it hit him.

It was very faint tbf, I don't think the umpire could tell or dube.

From the naked eye it looked as if it was bat first.

 

[stani_pak]

What is a realistic total Afghan can chase on this pitch, India does have some good bowling as well, even a par score can be tricky for Afghanistan

 

[chinaman00]

SKY doesn't like spin much.

SKY doesn’t like international cricket.

 

[Human786]

90/4 in 11

 

[Devadwal]

Today is perfect time for axar to come after dube dismmal .lefty - Right combos and he can Play freely

 

[Champ_Pal]

Wow supposed spin basher doesn't have any clue to play spin and rinku was thrown out for him

Dube is not built for these slow pitches. Rinku would have been a better choice.

Even Samson would be better as a finisher than Dube.

 

[globetrotter]

Pitch is slow, ball turning…140 will b good total

 

[Human786]

What is a realistic total Afghan can chase on this pitch, India does have some good bowling as well, even a par score can be tricky for Afghanistan

160 imo .

 

[Croma]

ANother 90 from the last 9 and India will hit 180

 

[shortbread]

Is Samson part of the India squad?

 

[Devadwal]

We will still manage 160 minimum. Still have some batting to come.

If Sky out now then 150 is impossible

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wow supposed spin basher doesn't have any clue to play spin and rinku was thrown out for him

He is a spin basher who can do something only when he tries to bash. If he is going to defend the ball he will look awkward.

 

[Vikram1989]

Dube is not built for these slow pitches. Rinku would have been a better choice.

Even Samson would be better as a finisher than Dube.

That's the problem with our team management and selectors. They don't know what to do and utter clueless after so many selection blunders

 

[RidiculousMan]

Pathetic dube. Rinku, Gill, Jaiswal, ABhishek, Parg, Samson are not in because of this guy

I think India can easily get Jaiswal in the XI in place of him.

 

[Devadwal]

Hardik batting is regress so much although bowling is improve.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That's the problem with our team management and selectors. They don't know what to do and utter clueless after so many selection blunders

Even they know opening with Kohli is not going to be fruitful. But they stick with that strategy just because they made the decision in advance

 

[Croma]

Who was that SRH Indian opener, who opened with Head. I hope BCCI gives him a chance to open along with Jaiswal in the near future in T20I.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Hardik batting is regress so much although bowling is improve.

I don't think so. He just didn't got the ideal opportunity until today

 

[MP2011]

Agarkar has proved to be as clueless as his predecessors were.

 

[Vikram1989]

He is a spin basher who can do something only when he tries to bash. If he is going to defend the ball he will look awkward.

He was a failure in ipl second half. Even then team management must have brought rinku as cover

 

[jnaveen1980]

SKY is gone i think

 

[mominsaigol]

Is Samson part of the India squad?

Yes

 

[Devadwal]

Ideal team

Pant
Jaiswal
Sky
Samson
Rinku
Hardik ( Due to allrounder)

 

[RidiculousMan]

Who was that SRH Indian opener, who opened with Head. I hope BCCI gives him a chance to open along with Jaiswal in the near future in T20I.

Abhishek Sharma

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Dube and SKY are overrated. I'd play Jaiswal/A Sharma and Rinku.

Surprised.

 

[oatmeal]

looks like its out

 

[Croma]

SRH, Jazzball, Pant, Sky, Rinku is a formidable top 5

 

[globetrotter]

Virat Kohli - Rohit Sharma scores as opening pair in T20WC 2024

Yes it’s a failure, First 6 overs India need attacking batsman, currently Pant hitting the ball well…. Pant should open with Rohit, Kohli to come down at 3

 

[MP2011]

Sky backing up too far?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Big moment. Sky safely in

 

[jnaveen1980]

wow.. That was some dive by SKY.. kudos man. Finally something good by India

 

[oatmeal]

very close but its safe

 

[Human786]

98/4 in 12
