This is the difference between Pant and your regular stats paddlers. When Pant scores, he plays match winning knocks. Brisbane, Manchester, Chennai...you name it and all from difficult situations.


And ignoramuses be like...he don't deserve to be in the white ball team

#EggOnFace

Indeed, matchwinner and scores when it matters. What a knock!!

 

[Titan24]

Top knock this from Pant. Other than a missed stumping from Buttler was well in control throughout.

I can understand with Pakistanis it’s a banter but the rest I wouldn’t care about. Sometimes I wonder why people feed the troll.

Also Rahul, Pant, Pandya many more so many X factor players

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Cricketing illiterates who were calling ODIs and especially bilateral cricket meaningless have now seen a new life in it after Pant's first ODI century. Good thing is at least now they won't call ODIs meaningless.

[Mesozoic]

Top knocks by Pant and Pandya after the top order once again soiled their pants in a stuff chase.

So

2-2 in Tests.

2-1 in T20is

2-1 in ODIS


Amazing how even with so many rubbish washed up players in every format, we have gone undefeated this whole tour. Not a mean feat.

 

[Ab Fan]

Test series deciders and Pant is a story written from heaven:-

Sydney 2018
Sydney 2020
Gabba 2020( the one that hurts them the most)
Ahemdabad 2021
Capetown 2022
Edgabaston 2022
Final ODI vs England 2022( this is probably second most)

 

[Rajdeep]

I would like Pant to play like this in every format. He need to understand that he is a natural strokemaker and only thing he need to do is stay on the crease. The problem arises when he loses his focus and goes for ugly shots. He just need to bat in every format as if he is batting in test cricket i.e play the ball on merit. The talent he has will beat many many records. This is where Dravid's role is crucial.

 

[Rohan]

First of all, congrats to most Indians.

Second, consolation to few “Indians”, sorry about this match

 

[Ab Fan]

This is amazing victory. Time to open the beer and celebrate this one, Woah! This is one for a long time, may not be for ages like Gabba 2020 but still one for quite long

 

[Rajdeep]

No one said ODI bilaterals are meaningless. The discussion was about bilateral T20s and it was Ravi Shastri who said it first considering there are so many T20 leagues. There are no leagues for ODI format and teams hardly plays any ODIs these days, why would it meaningless?

This meaningless series and format will become meaningful here for some fans if Pant and Pandya wins it for India today.

He is good when he takes time for a few overs much like Dhoni. Unfortunately in T20 it is not allowed. That is where his ugly hoicks come in. Atleast in one dayers he played a few cameos. In T20s he hasn't displayed that yet.

 

[Ab Fan]

The big big news :-

Player of the match - Rishabh Pant
Player of the series - Hardik Pandya

 

[Rohan]

No one has called bilateral ODIs are meaningless.

Kindly, show the evidence if someone has said it. I truly believe no one with sane mind would mention ODI bilateral are meaningless especially between top nations like Ind, Eng, Pak, Aus, NZ, SA.

 

[Technics 1210]

Buttler made a mistake by not using up Topley's earlier on.

 

[JaDed]

Good win today but issues remain.

We went from having best top 3 to really struggling top 3.

Fielding , criminally bad, Jadeja as an ODI player is still a risk.

I still don’t think Pant is for middle order but good knock nevertheless , the guy has x factor to win important games.

 

[SportsWarrior]

Stop feeding the trolls. You can debate with Pakistanis and Indians not with pretending trolls. In most forums people get banned for false flagging.

 

[MenInG]

Player of the Match, Risabh Pant

Rishabh Pant, who came in with India 28-2 in the powerplay and then steered his side to victory with 47 balls to spare...

"Hopefully I will remember this for the rest of my life but when I was in I was not thinking about anything. I was just trying to focus on one ball at a time. You always aspire to play like this when your team is in trouble. The more experience you get the more you improve."

[RamLakhan]

Now please sort out the top order(

 

[MenInG]

Rishabh Pant's sensational ton and Hardik Pandya's all-round display helped India to a 2-1 series victory against England in Manchester.

Winning the toss, India skipper Rohit Sharma had no hesitation in putting England in to bat. The decision paid rich dividends as the Indian pacers struck at regular intervals. Mohammed Siraj, who replaced Jasprit Bumrah, would scalp the wickets of Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root, with both walking back for a duck.

Jason Roy and Ben Stokes would then take the attack to India, establishing a 54-run stand. But the pair would walk back to the pavilion in relatively quick succession. Roy would be dismissed for 41 by Hardik Pandya and the all-rounder would strike again to send Stokes packing for 27. England now found themselves struggling at 74/4.


Buttler, lower-order help England to a competitive total

England would then fight hard, with skipper Jos Buttler leading the way. A stand with Moeen Ali of 75 runs would steady the ship for England. The pair played some glorious shots to put the pressure back on the Indians.

Moeen Ali would finally depart for 34, with Ravindra Jadeja getting his scalp. Liam Livingstone would chip in with 27 runs, with Pandya again doing the damage. Pandya would get his fourth of the match, with Buttler walking back after a well-made 60. David Willey (18) and Craig Overton (32) would score vital runs to ensure that England had a total to defend.

India would finally bowl out England for 259 in the 46th over.


England strike early

England would again have the Indian top-order struggling again, striking early. Shikhar Dhawan could only score 1 before Reece Topley dismissed him. Rohit Sharma would be the next to depart, with Topley striking again.

Topley would have his third as Virat Kohli edged one to the keeper after scoring only 17. Suryakumar Yadav scored 16 before he was sent back to the hut by Craig Overton. India were now reeling at 72/4.


Pant, Pandya take India close

A big partnership was of paramount importance for the visitors. And they got just that, with Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya launching a brilliant counter-attack. The pair embarked on a partnership of 133 runs, which came in only 115 deliveries.

There were some audacious shots, coupled with sensible defending. The pair found it easy to pierce the field at ease, as the England bowlers did not have any answers against their brilliance.

Both Pandya and Pant would bring up their half-centuries and start to up the ante. This would bring about Pandya's downfall as a brilliant catch by Carse would bring an end to his incredible knock of 71.


Pant takes India home

There was still a job remaining to be done, as India needed 55 runs to win. But there was no stopping Rishabh Pant as guided India home, notching up his first ODI ton in the process. He treated the England bowlers with disdain, smashing David Willey for five fours in an over.

India would chase down the target in only 42.1 overs to win the series 2-1. It was another feather in the cap of the young wicketkeeper-batter, who is quickly carving out a reputation of thriving under pressure.

[RamLakhan]

Only Rohit can stay, both Dhawan and Kohli needs to go. Kohli can come back after sorting out his weaknesses completely.

Then you should read posts more carefully. I was paraphrasing Shastri and saying it won't make sense because there are no ODI leagues around but it would make sense for T20's because of the leagues.

Accusing others if comprehension issues when your comprehension skills are average is not a good habit

All right guys, going for celebrations. What a win. Pant and Pandya both rock.

Many more to come from these amazing cricketers. Pandya have matured tremendously.

Plus, the amount of posting does not mean or equal to cricket knowledge. The biggest example is you, who does not know much about cricket but thinks otherwise.

[ezhil]

India should open with pant and rahul India use pant potential the most at his young age like Sachin by opening....Rohit has become older ...
He can still lift the trophies with middle order hitting that suits him ...no point in getting out early or else repeat of 2019 world cup semis...
Kohli should play ranji trophy and prove before he comes to team
Dhawan plz retire....
And dravid should not coach loi teams...a big no no

 

[Fenrir]

Butler and Livingstone were well set but they got carried away with hitting sixes.50 over game is not the same as t20.England need to play positively but avoid play risky shots frequently,

 

[Cricfan4eva]

The only takeaway from this pointless series was Pant belongs in white-ball cricket and we need to be patient. Hopefully he isn't moved from no.4 till end of the 2023 WC.

Butler and Livingstone were well set but they got carried away with hitting sixes.50 over game is not the same as t20.England need to play positively but avoid play risky shots frequently,

I think they are bound to fail once in a while with that approach.

Just their third series loss at home since 2015, think they shouldn't change approach for once in a while series losses.

 

[JaDed]

The motivated Hardik Pandya showing what he can do. Magnificent all rounder

Good series but i can see this this going to his head soon and he will gift Butler a bat maybe.

 

[Ab Fan]

Pant needs to give himself time on crease, maintain the balance and solidity like he did today. Take first 50 balls for all that matters, he can score 35 of that and then he will accelerate automatically. His failure was due to he tried to dominate early in the inning and lost shape and created a lot of chances.

I think as opener will allow him to take some time and look to just find gaps and maintain the balance and solidity. At 4, after the powerplays, it is hard to time the delivery into gaps ( you have to figure those gaps on your own) and that is where it forces Pant to take the arial route and play a lose shot.

He is still best as opener. Rahul will come and take the no.4 spot, Rahul is best in middle order.

When Rahul opens, he bats like Rahane and when he bats in middle order he bats like ABD.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Good series but i can see this this going to his head soon and he will gift Butler a bat maybe.

Butler or Stokes?

Indian top order in ODI is probably the worst in the world at the moment. Rohit, Dhawan and Kohli are a joke. India hv no real chance in WC2023, unless these passengers are dropped.

What a great win!

Thank you Hardik and Pant.

Now get rid of Kohli and Dhawan ASAP, if not Rohit who too seems totally past it now.

With such top-3, we can win one-off games like yesterday but not consistently. And that win too came due to brilliance of Hardik and Pant.

Dhawan's problem is that he seems to be a shadow of himself and that is down to his age. This big match thing is good for saying but not sure how much it works or if that should be considered a criteria given his loss of form which is down to age.

Good to see that you have Hooda/Jadeja in T20s. Jadeja has been an average T20 player and can be removed as Hooda is a better batsman than him and Hooda will also bowl off spin which is different style to Yuzi Chahal but that is not the case with Jadeja who also takes the bowl away from right handers like Chahal does. However, Hooda should be used as floater and sent to bat higher if India loses a couple of wickets early as he is more suited to no.3 or 4 than at 6 or 7.

Pandya after this performance walks into India's ODI and T20Is best ever XI. He has surpassed Raina as ODI cricketer and alongwith Yuvi, Dhoni and Kapil makes a strong #4-7. In T20s, he would be there alongwith Yuvi, Dhoni and Raina.

Pant will be in India's best ever test XI ahead of Dhoni at 6.

Good series - good quality cricket - nothing 'meaningless' ....cheers
