Royal Challengers Bengaluru (Playing XI): Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis(c), Will Jacks, Rajat Patidar, Saurav Chauhan, Dinesh Karthik(w), Mahipal Lomror, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Reece Topley, Lockie Ferguson, Yash Dayal

Sunrisers Hyderabad (Playing XI): Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram, Nitish Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen(w), Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmed, Pat Cummins(c), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jaydev Unadkat, T Natarajan
 
Travis head has just come on this planet to deny India & Kohli icc titles/trophies.
 
What a beastly attack from Head. He never paused even one ball. Bang bang bang... this is how you bat. I cannot believe how anyone justify anchoring when you can do like this.

100 off 39 balls

Babar or Rizwan would be on 45 runs by now

We saw that on the same ground when Pakistan was up against DL NRR, Babar was going at run a ball. Fakhar Zaman went ballisstic to get Pakistan over the line against NZ

Anchoring is a bit overrated in this day and age. But this innings from Head is once in a blue moon type. More often than not, this style of play will lead to a quick fire 10 or 20 and miscues one to get out cheaply(like Abhishek Sharma did).

It is clear though that people like Kohli opening will be detrimental to the batting lineup. At best Kohli can score at 160 or 170 S/R on a great day. Somebody like Travis Head can easily trump Kohli's innings on these type of pitches.

Our players are so used to these kind of consolidating innings. Cast your memory back first IPL final in 2008. The innings that won the final for Warne's Royals was Yusuf Pathan's belligerent 50 where he carted Murali and co all over . That guy was a game changer in many matches. Now we are at 2024 with impact player rule. Yet they are batting like how we did in 2008.

Kohli's era was a decade ago. He was a quick fire batsman back in 2014. Now his style of play is a bit old fashioned.

The mindset is what makes the difference. We can clearly see how young Indian batsmen like Jaiswal, Pant, Abhishek, Kishan etc bat compared to Kohli. The new age players are ultra aggressive. I still like Kohli at 2 down in the Indian lineup just in case there is a collapse at the top. But Kohli has no business opening the batting.
 
Bowling coaches for RCB is the worst. THey have no plan. They just keep bowling in the arc. No set strategy. No change of pace, NO change of line.
 
I beg and pray SRH to score 300 somehow and either RCB franchisee should be closed from this season OR Kohli should go out of RCB (preferably CSK --- Only Dhoni can give relife to Kohli & trophey to Kohli - no one else - absolutely no one else! And somehow Kohli will be accomodated and given a role in CSK... Shameless Kohli should go out of RCB)

Dhoni can win tournament with any panauti lol He has that midas touch.
 
This match is a bit like Australia vs India WC Finals. Head & Cummins represent that brutal side and Kohli & Siraj represent the hapless/toothless side of it! And Chinnaswamy & Ahmedabad crowd same to same... Come in mass, just to witness the hammering...

Ramu Seth , Siraj touh aaj ataaley mein hai !!!
 
I do wonder what would happen or would've happened had Pakistani players were allowed in IPL and Fakhar Zaman played in Chinnaswamy Stadium?

We saw both Babar and Fakhar. One guy played like how it should be played there. Other guy played like how it should not be played there.
 
This is amazing hitting by SRH. I don't think many teams can do this. THey have the resources , attitude to do this time and again.
 
for the Indian posters. Is Abdul Samad pronounced as Samaaaad as some of the Indian commentators are saying.
 
Innings Break

SunRisers Hyderabad score 287/3 in 20 overs, highest ever total in IPL history, in a game against RCB
 
CUmmins has clearly given instructions to his players "keep going harder and harder" They just did that. They didn't hit a six followed by a single. THey just kept hitting every single ball .

They are obviously murdering the name. It is Samad. Somebody should tell the Indian commies about that.
 
RCB does not have the personnel to chase this. They are all accumulators except for Maxwell(in bad form).

RCB should open with Maxwell and hope for the best. They are not chasing this total. They would do well to cross 200 here.

Sunrisers Hyderabad breaks their own record for the highest-ever IPL total, setting a new benchmark on the scoreboard.
 
Is that 2nd highest ever score in professional T20 cricket? SRH should have scored 320... If Head & Klaasen continued for few more overs it would have happened...
 
This match shows how enviironment is important to play this kind of cricket. Sometimes when the environment changes they play differently.

Not part of the squad
 
How many more matches in Chinnaswamy? Other teams should be licking their lips...

First time in IPL history 4 bowlers have conceded more than 50 runs in their spell

Reece Topley - 1/68 (4)
Vyshak Vijaykumar - 0/64 (4)
Lockie Ferguson - 2/52(4)
Yash Dayal - 0/51(4)

Note: There are zero instances 3 bowlers have conceded more than 50 runs in their spell
 
Did you see that single? This is what i am talking about. He hit two fours. Then he tuk tuked the ball for a single. You do not do that chasiing 280 odd.
 
Are Indians actually enjoying these 250+ run games?

More often than not, they’ll be one sided games, no different to bowling a team out for 60 and chasing it in 5 overs.
 
Hun ki hoga ? 80/1 in 6.2 . Watching Cummins in the ad now - he is a good guy - make no mistake , aggressive but good man !

If you want 160 total matches watch Lucknow, CSK matches where you can't hit 4 for 10 overs on the trot sometimes.
