India (314 & 145/7) defeat Bangladesh (227 & 231) by 3 wickets - India win series 2-0

Hair pulling stuff!!!. Sometimes i think Pant does not listen in team meetings and hence playing well.
 
You are asking too much from a Dravid team

yep, thinking out of the box in the indian coaching setup is not exactly his forte, was better off in the U-19's and fantastic role models for the youngies...
i seriously feel what we are missing is a quality top order lh batsmen...i have hopes on yashasvi jaiswal or even washi sunder - dude has the defensive game -has all the shots, and can open, can also bowl-is a decent field...feel this will give a different dimension to our lineup
 
Che pu...what have u done...!....this is sure to pull all the locals out on PP...gee whziz...that was massive
 
Simple run-chase

India making a meal of this
 
Can we do this? Every ball looks like a grenade out there.

watching the same match? each ball is turning massive and keeping low...
defo not a walk in the park. Its not that we can close eyes and swing for the tall timber, they have to grind it out...hence why i find che pu's dismissal the most intriguing and v crucial...it will be tough going
 
Who were the brainiacs who hyped up players like Gill and Shaw?

Aakash Chopra had more staying power at the crease than these hacks.
 
See the contrast with which both the chases were/are being undertaken.

England simply pummelling Pakistan bowlers while we are huffing and puffing towards a lesser target. Not sure we'll even get there.
 
Kohli really went from being one of the best players in the world to being just another player who really should be dropped across formats.

Kohli is done, the sooner selectors make the call for him the better.

How is Kohli still holding on to a spot these days? Should be out in all formats. Has scored 2 centuries in 4 years - both in dead rubbers, one against Afghanistan, another against Bangladesh.
 
We are going to lose this test match .only pant can save us from this humiliation
 
I don't see Kohli surviving till stumps.

India will be at least 4 down.

Because he still has so many bhakts in BCCI. He is just a greedy old hack who is holding on to his spot for at least 2 years too many just to please his sponsors.
 
Because your username has to justify his selection.
Surprised how bad Dravid has been as coach. Thought he would have done well but seems out of his depth and it doesn't look like he'll survive long.

Has Kohli done enough to surpass Ponting?

Don't think he touches Sachin.
 
If not for Kohli India would have lost the t20WC game vs Pakistan.

His game in white ball is back. Its only time before its back in tests.

Some hate him because he praised Modi?
 
Just feel Gill does not have the fwd defensive game against quality spin bowling and against quality swing bowlign in eng/nz swing conditions. but so did'nt guys like zaheer abbas, greg chappell, mo azhar , damien martyn etc . he holds his bat grip high...like greg chapell - perfect for aus or saf conditions for the bounce ...still young...hopefully he improves and emulates the others as named above...
meanwhile...BD bowling bombs...hope our guys see the day through

So? He was largely mediocre for the rest of the WC. Kohli's who nudge the ball and accumulate then accelerate at the backend aren't going to win you games against the best teams. Game has changed.

what a load of bull and thanks for washing your linen in public, bhakts and all- cant you just comment onthe game

He has blinded his bhakts with his once in blue moon innings. They are oblivious of the fact how badly he is hurting Indian cricket.
 
[MENTION=76058]cricketjoshila[/MENTION] Kohli's white ball game is back because he scored a century on a phatta against Bangladesh in a dead rubber, or he played anchor and scored some runs in T20s? Wallah those runs as accumulator are useless, even Kane can score runs in T20s. Problem is the SR especially if you're not able to accelerate. More of a hindrance than asset.

Load of bull? So commenting on a poor player is not commenting on the game?

Well done. Stick to what you do and not what I do.

We've had Kane play like this for years - sometimes it's been useful, other times harmful. With how the game has changed, there's no place for players like these. That and Kane has gotten a lot worse and fails to accelerate most times. Kohli played just like Kane and went run a ball, when he failed he left India in a massive hole with the middle and lower order having to smash it to make it up.

Kane had at least led you guys to WTC title and a near ODI WC. What have we got under Kohli?
 
This game is in Pant's hands.

India may as well send in a pinch hitter to take off some pressure.

Let Axar hit out. A quickfire 20-30 kills this game.
 
India are digging themselves into a hole. They need to try something different - Axar or Ashwin as pinch hitters. 20s from both and pressure is off.

Yeah, i have all my hopes on Pant and Iyer.

poor player...wow...gee whiz...(yep i agree his catching is not upto the mark and he averages one drop a match) , by anydefo he si not poor -if he is poor -comment on his ability alone and leave the bhakt part...this site is about discsuing the cricketing abilities not your affiliations, keep them at home or for another site

So you have trouble reading what I wrote above?

Stick to what you feel and not bother what I think.
 
So this is not a poor player I was commenting on.

Well done people with vested interests!
 
Our cricket has got totally insane under these 2 Rahuls.
 
What the point of blockdown .are they Playing for draw .what a shameless batting
 
England would have chased this down by now for the loss of 3-4 down.
 
Even a beaten Kohli looking for scraps to pick fights against opposition.
 
I am not sure why india are being so defensive

Our bowlers are not being put under the pressure and can do a lot of things. This isnt the kind of pitch where you can survive 120 overs. This is where the bazzball approach would work

On the other hand Bangladesh and their poor batting continues
 
Pant and Iyer Both are good at playing spinners so still our jope alive but this is Just shameless cricket by us

Yup, England would have gone hard. Game would have been over or close to it, England down 3-5 wickets but game dusted.
 
India would get slaughtered by Aus based on form of both teams.

Hope SA qualify, would be a better match.
 
Just wait for pant .all the fielder gone to sace runs . that's the fear of him but some hatred fans don't understand that .
Dropped rahul and Kohli from all the formet
 
India would get slaughtered by Aus based on form of both teams.

Hope SA qualify, would be a better match.

You said right .I am just about to type this . No use india reach final,aus will thrash this Indian team in oval .Better SA qualify so that we can see some competative cricket.
 
Virat Kohli lowest batting avg in a calendar year
19.33 in 2020
28.21 in 2021
26.50 in 2022
