India (349/8) defeat New Zealand (337) in a cliffhanger to win 1st ODI by 12 runs

[Mean&Green]

Gills dad must be so proud today his dream was to make him an international cricketer and too see his son score this double ton must be incredible. No father in India would ever give their whole life for their son to become a cricketer especially punjabis and Jatts it’s quite a story.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Some ordinary bowling

 

[sweep_shot]

Gill is out finally. 208 it is.

 

[Mean&Green]

Glenn philips you animal

 

[Rana]

9 sixes

So he can be the Shaheen Parwaz brand

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ could've chased this down if target was 320.

350 should be too much.

 

[U$ofA]

Did we just witness the passing of the baton from Kohli to Gill?

 

[Mean&Green]

This ground is a match box 350 is it gonna be enough

Not true, Yograj Singh did for Yuvraj Singh

 

[ex-q-zit]

Shubman Gill had a ODI s/r of 105 prior to this innings. Now it would have gone near 110 which is remarkable. Couple that with an avg of near 70. He doesn't seem a blaster liek sehwag or afridi but still scores over run a ball.

 

[Mean&Green]

Did we just witness the passing of the baton from Kohli to Gill?

No gill is confused he didn’t look unbeatable like kohli. Kohli is a different level of beast

 

[Rana]

Chall Hun Fin Allen

Stage is set for you now big man!

 

[Mean&Green]

So one guy scored 208 and the team still got 349 only hmm that’s not a good team effort at all

 

[Mean&Green]

Not true, Yograj Singh did for Yuvraj Singh

Yograj played for india was an actor as well. Gill comes from a proper paindu jatt family with no influence in Indian cricket or any industry it’s not even close.

 

[Rana]

So one guy scored 208 and the team still got 349 only hmm that’s not a good team effort at all

This can happen

This is cricket. No team will always score 500

 

[MenInG]

 

[Rana]

One of Conway or Finn have to score a 150+ score here

 

[Raja111]

What an inning from Gill. It's a monstrous inning consideing the second highest is just 34

 

[sweep_shot]

Did we just witness the passing of the baton from Kohli to Gill?

I don't think so.

I think Baton got passed from Kohli to SKY. I think SKY may surpass Kohli.

 

[WengerOut]

I don't think so.

I think Baton got passed from Kohli to SKY. I think SKY may surpass Kohli.

From a 34 yr old to a 32 yr old?

 

[SamNJ]

The pitch looks 2 paced so no one found it easy to hit straight away. Shubman survived and then played a proper ODI knock to take his team to big total.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Gill

 

[sweep_shot]

From a 34 yr old to a 32 yr old?

Why not?

SKY can still play for 6-8 more years.

I don't think Gill is at same level as Kohli and SKY.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

I don't think so.

I think Baton got passed from Kohli to SKY. I think SKY may surpass Kohli.

That is not a baton, that's a walking stick.

 

[Rana]

I don't think so.

I think Baton got passed from Kohli to SKY.

They are the same age

Sky is too old to be the iconic Indian batting legend

Gavaskar-Tendulkar-Kohli-Gill

There can only be one king. There will always be great lieutenants: Azharuddin, Ganguly, Dravid, Rohit

But there will only be one king in each era

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

gr8 innings, gr8 catch as well

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Decent chance to defend this unless there is a bit of dew.

 

[sweep_shot]

Decent chance to defend this unless there is a bit of dew.

Can't see Kiwis chasing this down. They are no England.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

India last four ODIs batting first:
409/8 vs Bangladesh
373/7 vs SL
390/5 vs SL
349/8 vs NZ

 

[Mamoon]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] was right

Gill is now officially better than all Asian batsmen besides the Indian stalwarts (in ODI at least)

Watched him in the U-19 World Cup few years back. It was clear as daylight that he will be a legend.

 

[IAJ]

Gill 208 runs, rest of India 141 runs

 

[Ab Fan]

Well played Gill

 

[sweep_shot]

Fin Allen is key for NZ. If he stays for 20-25 overs, they may pull it off.

 

[Mean&Green]

Lmao that ball was clocked at 94.5 KPH from siraj and Indians want us to believe their speed guns

 

[Mean&Green]

How does Hardik have more power over kohli and sharma lol he’s literally a toothpick

 

[Rana]

Watched him in the U-19 World Cup few years back. It was clear as daylight that he will be a legend.

Shaw is a ticking time bomb too. If he gets his act together, he will also be a monster bat

 

[JattMaula]

How does Hardik have more power over kohli and sharma lol he’s literally a toothpick

Momentum= Mass×Velocity

Both mass and velocity are directly proportional to momentum. As long as you have big enough of either, you can impart it on ball.

 

[sweep_shot]

Good start for NZ.

Going at almost 7 an over.

28/0 (4.2 overs).

 

[Romali_rotti]

Indian bowlers bowling brilliant, right on Legside with Easy Hit me balls

 

[sweep_shot]

Conway is gone. Big wicket.

28/1.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Local lad takes out Conway with a skiddy, short ball.

 

[Mean&Green]

Momentum= Mass×Velocity

Both mass and velocity are directly proportional to momentum. As long as you have big enough of either, you can impart it on ball.

No lmao I wasn’t talking about hitting strength I was talking about on the field. He’s guiding the bowlers he gets to treat all the players like trash can cuss anyone he wants in the team they all just stand their and keep listening .

 

[MP2011]

Well bowled, these 2.

 

[Mean&Green]

Indian bowlers bowling brilliant, right on Legside with Easy Hit me balls

Miyan ji says hello

 

[Blackbradman]

Wicket Maiden..

 

[MP2011]

No runs have been scored off last 15 deliveries.

 

[Blackbradman]

Another Miaden

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ are struggling now.

They haven't scored a run for 3 overs!

 

[Smudger]

Momentum= Mass×Velocity

Both mass and velocity are directly proportional to momentum. As long as you have big enough of either, you can impart it on ball.

Rohit and Virat both are better hitters than Pandya

 

[Blackbradman]

21 dots in a row

 

[Blackbradman]

Make it 22

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ's run rate dropped from almost 7.00 to 3.50.

Questionable batting.

 

[Blackbradman]

This is exceptional bowling..3 maiden overs in a row

 

[Devadwal]

3rd back to back miaden over

 

[SamNJ]

3 maiden overs in a row. Allen will surely explode now.

 

[Blackbradman]

Finally

 

[JattMaula]

No lmao I wasn’t talking about hitting strength I was talking about on the field. He’s guiding the bowlers he gets to treat all the players like trash can cuss anyone he wants in the team they all just stand their and keep listening .

Don't know about cussing but he is the VC and Indian teams have allowed vcs to set fields and instruct bowlers lately.

 

[sweep_shot]

A run finally.

Current partnership: 1 run from 17 balls.

 

[boomboomcheema]

NZ playing for a draw here.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Quietly optimistic about India being favourites now.

 

[Blackbradman]

Allen Biding time

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ need 318 runs from 40.5 overs.

 

[WengerOut]

Waiting for dew maybe?

 

[sweep_shot]

Waiting for dew maybe?

If that is the strategy, it is a foolish one.

RRR is increasing.

 

[JattMaula]

Rohit and Virat both are better hitters than Pandya

They may be. Hitting has many components besides momentum of bat. Timing, placement, match situation, shot selection, etc etc.

 

[boomboomcheema]

NZ Batsmen were batting like Hulk in Karachi Odis, what happened here.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Quietly optimistic about India being favourites now.

May have spoken too early lol.

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ are accelerating now.

India should still win. 350 is a great total.

 

[MP2011]

Pandya is crap both with bat & ball.

 

[MP2011]

Thakur drops Allen off his own bowling

 

[MP2011]

No damage done though, he gets him eventually in the same over.

 

[Blackbradman]

Lord strikes

 

[sweep_shot]

Finn is out.

NZ - 70/2 (13.3 overs).

 

[Blackbradman]

4th Maiden in 14 overs..

 

[Sidilicious]

I don’t know what to make of Thakur. The guy has the heart of a lion. Is always there when a breakthrough or a crucial 30 is needed. But is an average player.

 

[sweep_shot]

Just realized. There's no Williamson.

RRR is now almost 8.

 

[Champ_Pal]

I don’t know what to make of Thakur. The guy has the heart of a lion. Is always there when a breakthrough or a crucial 30 is needed. But is an average player.

Bits and pieces. He does just enough to be in selectors radar. Nothing special. But India is a pace all rounder starved country. So Shardul will continue to play for India for the next 3 years or so.

It is sad to see that no genuine pace all rounder is coming through IPL ranks. All of them are non-Indians.

 

[MP2011]

Kuldeep bowls Nicholls.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Just realized. There's no Williamson.

RRR is now almost 8.

Blessing in disguise. He is a liability in high scoring games.

 

[MP2011]

What a wrong 'un from Kuldeep! Nicholls was clueless.
