I think you would have got your answer.

AB today and Kohli and Gayle in that previous match vs Punjab would all have been dismissed if not for the short boundaries.

you are assuming they would have played the exact same shot knowing the boundries are bigger ?
 
I just saw half the RCB dug-out scream BC when AB hit that 6! Even the foreigners! :))) #theKohliEffect
 
Ab took RCB home, the match is over by all means.

Players do learn with time to control their nerves and Ab is perfect example of that. You can see, he relishes challenges now.

Mishits happen regardless of boundary sizes. Only difference is that those in short grounds fly for sixes while they get caught in bigger grounds.
 
What a game so far. I hope the next two games are this close as well. AB seems to be losing it here with a few crazy strokes but he's been phenomenal
 
Congrats ABD....that's was an insanely amazing knock.

Gujus deserved to lose.

My God...what a bad captaincy and fielding.
 
Congrats Bengaluru posters a good win which finally didn't involve Kohli for once!
 
Ab does it under pressure all the momentum with RCB for the final now surely this there year now!!!!!!!
 
And...RCB is going to play final at their home ground. This IPL will be theirs to lose.

Kohli doesn't fail twice. They deserve to win this time purely for AB and especially Kohli heroics this IPL.

This IPL will be remembered for Kohli irrespective of him winning next match -so i hope they lose :P unless they face KKR!

cos often hes gifted his wicket in pressure situation , its frustrating supporting the team he plays for

Dhoni, in is his entire life, whether in IPL or international, has never won a match when his team is in the kind of situation ABD was today. Show me one innings of Dhoni. You can talk about ABD later.

I supported Delhi all the way this year.

But for some reason, Punjab and especially Delhi always disappoint every season. But tbf to Delhi, they played well this season.

Haha Dhoni doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Kohli and ABD.
 
Match winner Kohli gone for duck lol.

De Villiers steals the show at the most appropriate moment.

AB Fan boys are cringe worthy. I like him as a player but can't understand why people need to call him the greatest batter ever when he's not. It's clear Sachin pointing viv lara are ahead

Tough to compare different eras.

This era AB is is a class no doubt.

The "Best since Viv" statements are missing though.

In ODI's statistically he is the greatest of all time.
 
Quality knock...Very similar to once in a blue moon typical kevin Pietersen knock.

Yeah the other two haven't done anything in finals of any major ICC tournament but whereas the MAN has captained three ICC tournaments and scored a 91* chasing in a final!

So much for not having them in the same sentence!

Supported DD too only if their batting clicked more,they had the future Indian players probably the reason why i was partial to them.
 
"I think this should settle the debate about who is the best in the world. Come the big game, and the big man steps up. I just bow down to him."

That 91 by Dhoni has to be one of the most overrated innings in history. India already were in a pretty good position and people forget Gambhir was the top scorer for India with 97!

Agree about him being a great captain but in terms of batting he is nowhere near the other two

I supported them for

1. Indian youngsta beauties:afridi
2. Zaheer.
3. They have never won an IPL.
4. And of course, Dravid.

I was happy with DD generally. Gave chances to young Indian players throughout and were one win away from play offs. Good finds in Karun Nair and Rishabh Pant who I think will be the next big Indian talent
