[Rohan]

Imagine Iyer, SKY in 2019 WC team instead of Karthik, Jadhav and party

 

[MP2011]

2 dot balls in a row.

 

[Justcrazy]

India looking at 200 here

 

[Amjid Javed]

142/1 after 13 overs.

 

[pillionrider]

If Hardik comes in today and starts swishing at air again

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Another IPL product for India..he has been playing all these bowlers and honed his skills in IPL.

hear hear.. not many people will like that..

 

[Oxfordchamp]

Pandya to come in next..

 

[OMB]

stunner stunner catch

 

[Mesozoic]

India looking at 200 here

If we are still looking at just 200....

 

[Tubs]

If India make less than 220, they'd be disappointed.

Very disappointing for England.

Just as I say that, a wonderful combo catch by Jordan and Bairstow (I think?)!

EDIT: My mistake, it was Roy. Roy just standing there admiring and laughing at Jordan haha.

 

[King_Kohli]

Ridiculous catch by Jordan.

 

[MP2011]

What a catch from Jordan!

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

What a catch by Jordan and Roy

 

[King_Kohli]

If Hardik comes in today and starts swishing at air again

Pant should come.

 

[pillionrider]

Unbelievable catch

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Chris Freaking Jordan

 

[Mesozoic]

Man these guys make it look so easy.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Wow chris jordan.

 

[Oxfordchamp]

hear hear.. not many people will like that..

Facts maybe harsh but they are the truth.

 

[Tubs]

Pant should come.

Agreed, ridiculous that he just came in before Pant.

 

[OMB]

Everything SKY does is outlandish..even the way he gets out

 

[PakPremi]

Jrdon deserves a place in team just for that catch.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pandya in now, think it should be Pant.

 

[Sunzi]

Incredible.

 

[MP2011]

It'll be a battle to score 200 now.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What an athlete is Jordan

 

[King_Kohli]

Hardik pandya playing too many dots at the death.
He need to score today.

 

[PakPremi]

What is Hardik doing coming in b4 two proper batsmen who can hit big too.

 

[PassionForPak]

Kohli playing very good innings here, so dependable. You can expect him to score a 50 every game. Not explosive but dependable.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

If India messes this up now and don't get 220-230 then blame Kohli and Pandya

 

[PassionForPak]

What an athlete is Jordan

That was the highlight of the series so far

 

[Justcrazy]

146 . 2

India should look for 200 here , and that will be out of England reach

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Iyer should have been sent but nevermind.

 

[Tubs]

Kohli playing very good innings here, so dependable. You can expect him to score a 50 every game. Not explosive but dependable.

If he doesn't accelerate here, it won't be a good innings in my opinion.

 

[Ab Fan]

MI all the way hence Pandya came to bat.

 

[jusarrived]

This was an unnecessary experiment by Virat . The guy never let's anyone one settle in a batting lineup.

 

[PakPremi]

Kohli needs to get a move on it be shame if goes out now b4 he accelerates.

 

[pillionrider]

Imagine Iyer, SKY in 2019 WC team instead of Karthik, Jadhav and party

Imagine Dhoni not playing that game. It would have changed the whole team approach

 

[MP2011]

Kohli got to tee off now.

 

[Mesozoic]

Always an MI player at one end.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Most runs as captain in T20Is
1464 VIRAT KOHLI
1462 Aaron Finch
1383 Kane Williamson
1321 Eoin Morgan
1273 Faf du Plessis

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That was the highlight of the series so far

You could say that again!

 

[PassionForPak]

Kohli waiting for that 50 there

 

[MP2011]

Disappointing last 2.3 overs.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

India need 60-70 in the last 5 overs.

 

[King_Kohli]

Pandya job is hitting not to play anchor role.
Come on man.

 

[Ahmed216]

Sending hardik is a mistake. He cant hit good pace that well

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good stop that Malan

 

[pillionrider]

Hardik getting his eye in

Looks humbled by his miserable performances recently. Not a bad thing

 

[King_Kohli]

Most runs as captain in T20Is
1464 VIRAT KOHLI
1462 Aaron Finch
1383 Kane Williamson
1321 Eoin Morgan
1273 Faf du Plessis

Kane is underrated in T20s.

 

[MP2011]

Cheeky from Pandya.

 

[Babbar]

This was an unnecessary experiment by Virat . The guy never let's anyone one settle in a batting lineup.

Kohli will take this as a nice compliment.

 

[Amjid Javed]

India 157/2 after 15 overs

Upper cut for 4 pandya

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Kane is underrated in T20s.

Well he is always considered a good bat in T20Is as well i think.

 

[Devadwal]

Indis losing momentum here.hope of getting 210+ gone

 

[Deewana Mastana]

50 Kohli

 

[Markhor]

hear hear.. not many people will like that..

I don't think any objective person can deny role of IPL in player development. IPL is to white ball cricket now what County Cricket was to Test cricket back in the day as far as being a finishing school for young talent.

 

[Justcrazy]

Fifty by

 

[MP2011]

50 for Kohli.

 

[jusarrived]

Kohli will take this as a nice compliment.

All I care about is another ICC tournament lost due to this ego maniac

 

[King_Kohli]

Kohli can start hit big shots.
Enough

 

[MP2011]

I don't think any objective person can deny role of IPL in player development. IPL is to white ball cricket now what County Cricket was to Test cricket back in the day as far as being a finishing school for young talent.

Quite a few of our test players owe their success in test cricket to IPL.

 

[PassionForPak]

Kane is underrated in T20s.

Kane isn't underrated. He only has scored 1400 odd runs at an average of 31 which means he was captain for most of his carrier so his record his above average at best but not impressive by any means.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

It is true with one more twist. It has taught fearless cricket to young Indian players and made them more aware of the method required to succeed, with access to money to hire personal trainers in off season.
That has had some impact in Test Match performances as well.. Very little.. but it has. [MENTION=134981]Bhaag Viru Bhaag[/MENTION] bhai your thoughts.

 

[MP2011]

Pandya nicks one to boundary.

 

[King_Kohli]

Indis losing momentum here.hope of getting 210+ gone

210 is easy score.
I am expecting 220+

 

[Justcrazy]

India out batting England here )

 

[OMB]

With Kohli opening (stop gap arrangement due to injury to Ishan) and Pandya tried up the order, innovative approaches by India. so far it is paying good dividend.
India has not only shown good intent to play attacking cricket but have also made space for one extra bowler.

I think he gets irritated by our premier players prioritising IPL over international cricket.

Won't mind KL Rahul as a keeper batsman in this team. This is not Pants strongest format anyway.

 

[PakPremi]

Fine 50 by Kohli expect fireworks now. Pandaya playing scrappy and getting lucky so far.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

I think he gets irritated by our premier players missing international cricket over IPL.

No one misses Test Matches.. unless injury. You have to be practical. I agree it is not ideal.

 

[Ab Fan]

IPL is on par with WT20.

Suryakumar Yadav over last two matches has looked a level superior to the rest with the kind of shots he has in his arsenal.

 

[Justcrazy]

India well set for 210 here

 

[Rohan]

India out batting England here )

ENG is an excellent team, I would wait till game is over.

Suryakumar was always a good dasher , I do not know how KKR could let him go.

 

[MP2011]

Pandya is in a miserable batting form.

 

[Markhor]

Think India's bowlers will do a better job of varying pace on this surface, and while chasing has been advantageous there's the pressure of a decider.

Big test of England's death bowlers here.

 

[Justcrazy]

ENG is an excellent team, I would wait till game is over.

They will lose this , NO one can save them. India have good bowling today . Anything above 180 is out of there reach.

 

[MP2011]

Better from Pandya.
