South Africa (137/5) defeat India (133/9) to win the Group 2 clash by 5 wickets

[gani999]

This is an absolutely pathetic knock by DK. But since everyone else failed, this won't get much scrutiny. Should be forcibly retired after this World Cup.

He shouldn't have been in the team at all. It should have been Sanju Samson. Complete brainfade by the indian selectors - choosing DK over Samson

 

[Ahmed216]

Overrated, overrated, overrated.

Tape ball, 37 , dramybaaz

 

[ex-q-zit]

As I said earlier SKy came in at 30 for 5 in MPL final and took the team to 180 scoring 90 of around 45 balls. If he stays till the end India in with a chance.

 

[MP2011]

He’s better than randoms like Hooda

He is better than no one. He is garbage, correction has been garbage ever since he made his debut for us 18 years back.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Mind boggling to not play Pant

 

[Geil]

DK SKY partnership was going good, imp partnership broken

 

[Abhilash93]

I have more hopes from Ashwin than I had from DK.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

He is better than no one. He is garbage, correction has been garbage ever since he made his debut for us 18 years back.

Yes very surprised why they still select him?

 

[Blackbradman]

SKY is so overrated, he can't build an Innings like Rizwan, Malan, Nissanka

 

[Smbhayi]

That's a nice shot by Aswin for a couple..

 

[Ahmed216]

He shouldn't have been in the team at all. It should have been Sanju Samson. Complete brainfade by the indian selectors - choosing DK over Samson

Inexplicable really. DK over sanju

 

[GreenBee]

It's proven. Age and bodyfat aren't just numbers. DK and Rohit need a kick.

Save Rohit for Asia LOIs. DK is better doing commentary.

 

[Sunzi]

India throwing the game with credibility here. Expert finisher DK with a 15 ball 6... ja ja ja

 

[7sins]

Dk on Asian tracks is good but on these tracks surely pant is a far better option

 

[dravidthewall]

DK thinks it's Indian IPL pitches. Man it's Gabba. Not your cup of tea

 

[MP2011]

Yes very surprised why they still select him?

Because they are clueless? Half our squad is garbage.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

DK = asif

 

[ezhil]

Fake finisher I tell everytime will be exposed...
I had been even quiet.... letting him to contribute and get a good retirement...what our fans know,,all these coach and management staff getting huge paycheck for doing blunders

 

[sweep_shot]

India - 105/6 (16 overs).

India can reach 150 probably.

 

[Usergame]

Incredible innings by surya. I hadn't seen him bat much before. India usually bloods their players young. Why has it taken this guy so long to break through?

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

in additon to several others, Big mistake also was not selecting bishoi. he would be hard to read and hit on thesae big aussie grounds

 

[Rajdeep]

Pretenders who are forced to support India today due to the situation is realising the pain real Indian supporters feel with DK in the side over a genuine match winner like Pant

 

[Devadwal]

I have more trust on Ashwin batting then Rah and Dk combined

 

[dravidthewall]

Pant ,Samson ,kishan out of thease they selected DK. Hats off to selectors who selected commentrator .

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

444 by Sky

 

[MP2011]

Fake finisher I tell everytime will be exposed...
I had been even quiet.... letting him to contribute and get a good retirement...what our fans know,,all these coach and management staff getting huge paycheck for doing blunders

Garbage doesn't deserve good retirement.

 

[7sins]

44 need more from sky

 

[Shafi]

Scratch that, Pakistan are out after this loss.

So India > SA.

SA are looking scary while India have a lot of flaws that we could exploit.

They don't seem to be in great form with bat or ball.

We cannot even win against Zimbabwe and struggle against Netherlands, S Africa will eat us alive. Just remember they will not rest top 45 players against us. Babar is bound to fail against top team with full strength.

 

[Mamoon]

DK is India’s Malik and it is even more mind-boggling because India has a billion times more talent than Pakistan. There is no justification for persisting with a “never was” like DK at 37.

 

[Devadwal]

Mind boggling to not play Pant

We deserved this bcz we not Play pant over Dk and Rahul

 

[hamzie]

skyyyyyyyyy my bhaiiiiiiiiiiii
beautiful
keep going

 

[pakistanisgreat]

150 would be challenging

 

[alone1213]

Suryakumar is single-handedly taking the game away from south africa.
He is good player.

 

[dravidthewall]

Wow sky single handedly taken game away from southafrica What a player

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pant ,Samson ,kishan out of thease they selected DK. Hats off to selectors who selected commentrator .

Samson and Kishan yes, Pant no.

 

[MP2011]

And now a 6.

 

[gani999]

I doubt the SA will show as much respect to Ashwin as India have been showing to Maharaj here.

 

[MP2011]

Just short, a boundary.

 

[Smbhayi]

Amazing 6 against a spinner.. not 6, 4 by the way..

 

[topspin]

If SKY can bat till the end this is up there with Kohli's knock.

 

[sweep_shot]

Back to back boundaries.

India - 115/6 (17 overs).

 

[JibranAnsari]

can SKY complete his 100

 

[MP2011]

150 would be challenging

No way we are getting there.

 

[Sunzi]

Brutal from Suryakumar

 

[Kroll]

Whattay player SKY is, best T20 batsman currently.

 

[Devadwal]

Yar Ashwin just take a single. Do not make things difficult for you like useless Dk

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

inches froma six...what an incredible shot by surya, how do u do this to a spinner...

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pretenders who are forced to support India today due to the situation is realising the pain real Indian supporters feel with DK in the side over a genuine match winner like Pant

Would like to see scorecards of those T20 matches where Pant won the match for India. You have 62 matches to choose from.

 

[alone1213]

Kagiso rabada has become an absolute trundler nowadays.
Just bowling those 132 134 ks stuff.

 

[Ahmed216]

Pretenders who are forced to support India today due to the situation is realising the pain real Indian supporters feel with DK in the side over a genuine match winner like Pant

Pant is not a match winner in this format. But sanju should have definitely played ahead of this ancient cricketer

 

[dravidthewall]

Ashwin is better strike rotated than FInisher DK

 

[sweep_shot]

South African pace attack is simply world class.

I think this is the best attack in the world currently (Aussie attack has regressed).

 

[Ahmed216]

Pretenders who are forced to support India today due to the situation is realising the pain real Indian supporters feel with DK in the side over a genuine match winner like Pant

Pant is not a match winner in this format. But sanju should have definitely played ahead of this ancient cricketer

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

What an inning by Sky

 

[Devadwal]

Four more

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol Ashwin bringing his lagan shot .

 

[dravidthewall]

To Rabada sky hit four

 

[hamzie]

beautyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[alone1213]

Suryakumar yadav is on another level here.
He only couldn't handle haris the 150ks rauf

 

[MP2011]

What a shot from SKY off Rabada!

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

forehand cross court bash for 4 by surya!!

 

[MHN1293]

First time watching surya and man has he been brilliant

 

[Kroll]

Should get to 150 from here and then Bhuvi the destroyer will come in and do his stuff.

 

[MP2011]

Would like to see scorecards of those T20 matches where Pant won the match for India. You have 62 matches to choose from.

There is no medicine for ignorance.

 

[GreenBee]

Suryakumar yadav is on another level here.
He only couldn't handle haris the 150ks rauf

To be fair, he went for an uppercut there. Literally gifted his wicket to a delivery he saw pretty easy.

 

[sweep_shot]

India - 124/6 (18 overs).

150 is not looking likely. Nortje and Parnell have one over each.

 

[emranabbas]

Need a single here

 

[hamzie]

need to bat the full 20 here by my boiz

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Ashwin gone but surya is the man to take India to 150.

 

[MP2011]

Ashwin gone.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pant is not a match winner in this format. But sanju should have definitely played ahead of this ancient cricketer

Anyone who is sitting outside becomes better than the ones who are playing. That's the mentality of our f@nboys. Pant who was struggling to score runs in practice matches should play according to these guys. Regarding Samson and Kishan, those guys should have been in this squad because they both performed better than Pant in whatever chances they got.

 

[alone1213]

To be fair, he went for an uppercut there. Literally gifted his wicket to a delivery he saw pretty easy.

LOL that's the thing he didn't see that ball. Haris is the best in the world.

 

[MSaad1237]

Ashwin gone.. India might just settle for 135 here.

 

[Devadwal]

Ashiwn jab dam ni h chakke ka to singles double Lene chahiye.

 

[Kroll]

No damage done, SKY still there for the last couple of overs bashing

 

[sweep_shot]

Wicket. Ashwin goes.

124/7.

 

[GreenBee]

Surya reminds me of AB everytime he bats.

And Ashwin goes.

 

[ex-q-zit]

Ashwin, how difficult is it to take a single and give SKY the strike?

 

[Rajdeep]

Would like to see scorecards of those T20 matches where Pant won the match for India. You have 62 matches to choose from.

Show me the scorecard where DK has done anything noteworthy in SENA countries. Pant has a stellar record in Australia and no brainer should have been in the team.

 

[Sunzi]

Be lucky to get to 140

Edit: scrap that, though SKY was out. Its was Ashwin. Need a single though
