[Mean&Green]

Virat kohli is the dumbest captain I’ve ever seen how do you drop chxhal for a trundler like thakur. Oh boy india is gonna get a reallg bad hammering again if virat himself doesn’t go nuts and india score like 370

 

[Raja111]

Kl, kedar, thakur, jadeja,chahar!!! Don't india have better players than these guys? They don't fit in this line up.

 

[sindhiboy]

How on earth is Rahul still picked? What do Indians see in him?

 

[H_shah]

How on earth is Rahul still picked? What do Indians see in him?

Well now you know what we see in him.

He is got mental strength issue sometimes but he is one of the most talented players out there.
he is got too many shots and his exicution is also great,onlyif he wouldnt have played dumb shots on odd balls..

We consider him as an immense potential.and he gets opportunity in hope he may fulfil it.yes he hasnt been that successful but even in his 40-50 his shots and timing are real class.

Calm down.
He's playing against a poor bowling attack on a dead pitch.
Nothing special.

 

[MP2011]

Who the hell will play Thakur in their XI? Kohli is so dumb when it comes to selections.

And Jadeja & Kedar? Even though he is playing well in this game, Rahul doesn't deserve to play in India's ODI team.

So many passengers...No wonder we've lost 4 ODIs on the trot at home.

 

[H_shah]

Calm down.
He's playing against a poor bowling attack on a dead pitch.

They just defeated this indian lineup last match,i wont use poor bowling excuse at all.thier bowling is alright.they mostly lose due to thier batting

And KL is a good player that is yet to fulfil his potential.haters can hate.

How many of their bowlers are in the Top 50 in the ODI rankings?

 

[MenInG]

IND 159/0 (27.4) CRR: 5.75

350+ looking likely

 

[MP2011]

Pathetic run rate despite losing no wickets in first 30 overs.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Selfish knock by KL Rahul. He could have got to 100 long back

 

[jnaveen1980]

KL Rahul completely stopped taking risks moment he entered the 90s

 

[MP2011]

KL Rahul completely stopped taking risks moment he entered the 90s

Thats why he doesn't deserve to be in the team.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I hate these selfish approach by batsmen. Can never forgive. He couldn't score 10 runs of off CHase? seriously?

 

[MP2011]

Now that Rahul has his 100, hope he'll accelerate....

 

[MP2011]

That also means that Mayank will not get a chance to show his mettle in shorter formats of the game.

Truly deplorable.

 

[MP2011]

What a pathetic reaction from Rahul after he got to his 100....

Rahul celebrates by dropping his helmet and bat and putting both hands on his ears - an emphatic signal that says he is just shutting out all the noise

 

[jnaveen1980]

KL was okay until 85 or so. After that it was pure selfishness. Duly getting out aftet 100. What is the point

 

[MP2011]

And he promptly goes after making a selfish ton...

 

[Ronaldo7]

Lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli played a lame pull shot first ball out against Pollard lolIt was like 110 k bouncer

 

[Ronaldo7]

If Kohli doesn't score in the next match, his no.1 ODI ranking may be in danger.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If Kohli doesn't score in the next match, his no.1 ODI ranking may be in danger.

ACtually Rohit is in the form of his life too.

 

[Ronaldo7]

ACtually Rohit is in the form of his life too.

Which is what I'm saying. Rohit might overtake him especially if you consider that you're playing 3 ODIs against Aus too in January

 

[Aman]

4th double lmao?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rohit never looks athletic. I always wonder where he gets energy after 35 overs or so.

 

[Aman]

Rohit never looks athletic. I always wonder where he gets energy after 35 overs or so.

How many doubles does he have? 2 or 3?

His beast mode is something else, after ~100-120 he gets in the zone and looks unstoppable.

My favorite batsmen in the world to watch.

 

[andy0204]

Rohit never looks athletic. I always wonder where he gets energy after 35 overs or so.

He is much better catcher than Kohli.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not sure how long he can continue in this heat. But beast mode certainy on.

 

[Aman]

Six.

147 now.

 

[Aman]

Get Rohit on strike fgs..

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bang 153 six

 

[jnaveen1980]

8th time Rohit 150 plus

 

[MP2011]

Needless to say, if he stays for 50 overs, he'll surely get to his 4th 200.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not the day . 159 out. He took too many risks. Usually comes off. But found the feather

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hope these guys make it count. 39 balls left. Nobody can bat in this situation better than Raina. We miss someone like him badly

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pant has begun well. 30 more balls.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pant 3 sixes in 8 balls

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pant has the license to kill

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pant is obliterating Cottrell. 4 sixes in 11 balls.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Tullaybaazi at its best

 

[jnaveen1980]

34 runs in 12 balls Pant. This is crazy hitting.

 

[King_Kohli]

Rishab going Crazy

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pant smashed Cottrell for 24 runs in one over.

 

[Reddy]

Pant 38 runs 13 balls

 

[jnaveen1980]

DIdn't expect much. India will have a decent total. India will have someone better than Thakur

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Yuvraj is back.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Some hitting that

 

[Sidilicious]

Not been a good day for Bhaag Viru bhaag. First Rahul, and now Pant. Now, only if Pandya was playing this match.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If one of Pant or Pandya click India always will have good finish to their innings.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India's fastest ODI 50 record is held by Agarkar lol Pant has a chance to beat him

 

[jnaveen1980]

Happy with Iyer's progress. Playing a tough role.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is carnage. 6,6,4,6 by Iyer

 

[King_Kohli]

Blood bath

 

[jnaveen1980]

That was insane hitting by Iyer. 6,6,4,6,6

 

[jnaveen1980]

363/47 overs.. Kohli 1 ball 0 run hahaha

 

[shah_1]

Pollar wants India to score 400

Chase lol

 

[andy0204]

Yuvraj is back.

Tell this to [MENTION=134981]Bhaag Viru Bhaag[/MENTION].

 

[jnaveen1980]

Once Pandya comes in to the side India will be f ull of six hitters. Rohit, Rahul, Iyer, Pant, Pandya. Kohli can also smash sixes

 

[King_Kohli]

Pant 46th Over:
6 0 4 6 4 4 = 14 runs

Iyer 47th Over:
1 6 6 4 4 6 6 = 33 runs

 

[angrypathan]

Bah Gawd stop the match

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pollar wants India to score 400

Chase lol

Actually he was the only one who bowled well. But he bowled to one guy he should not have bowled. Iyer is hte strongest in the side agianst off spinners

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pant has already done his job. That partnership between Iyer and Pant blitzed them

 

[jnaveen1980]

I don't see the point of playing this Jadhav. Should play proper young batsman like Gill

 

[DeadBall]

Pant 46th Over:
6 0 4 6 4 4 = 24 runs

Iyer 47th Over:
1 6 6 4 4 6 6 = 33 runs

Fixed.

 

[shah_1]

Actually he was the only one who bowled well. But he bowled to one guy he should not have bowled. Iyer is hte strongest in the side agianst off spinners

You don't bowl off spinner like him at the end, no matter how well he bowled

 

[jnaveen1980]

You don't bowl off spinner like him at the end, no matter how well he bowled

His seamer went for 24 runs. So he was desperate

 

[jnaveen1980]

This Jadhav is such a lucky guy to be still part of this Indian side

 

[DeadBall]

Pant 46th Over:
6 0 4 6 4 4 = 24 runs

Iyer 47th Over:
2nb 1 6 6 4 6 6 = 31 runs

Also fixed.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Last 2 overs are good overs

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

If Hetmyer, Pooran, and Pollard tee off, this will be a match for ages.

 

[Ronaldo7]

If Hetmyer, Pooran, and Pollard tee off, this will be a match for ages.

Forget Evin Lewis

 

[jnaveen1980]

Never count WI out with Jadeja and Shardul Thakur in the side lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

16 sixes by India today

 

[jagatk]

Am i the only one who thinks, everytime Iyer plays a good innings, everyone should be slapping stupid V, his nonsensical selections might have cost us a world cup.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hope Shai hope plays an innings exactly like the last match lol Strike rate of 55 for the best part
