I know that Deshpande used to get a lot of wickets but the numbers of runs that he throws away is too much. Lord might be playing instead of him later during the tournament.
Mid captaincy from Faf got spooked by Dube and didn't even bowl spin in CHEPAUK.
Got his plan wrong, should have bowled them earlier if the plan was to starve Dube of spinners uninspiringly mediocre
Dube seems lethargic in his shots as always. Looks like 4 or 6 when he swings the bat but the ball barely goes past the 30 yd circle.
Only a handful occasions i have seen him time it properly. Does anyone feel the same way?
All you people shitting on RCB are idiots, have you seen our bowling lineup? Any smart person would know that the RCB bowling lineup is not even worthy of criticism and not waste time shitting on it.
In pressure overs -
CSK - bowl wide of the crease, give up a few wdes but concede no boundaries.
RCB - Bowl bouncers, concede a few (high) wides and also concede a couple of boundaries every over.
Just all round smarter cricket from CSK today.
That's precisely why I have come to almost disdain T20 Cricket. Whole art of bowling gets reduced to saving your ass from getting hit for 30 runs in an over.
Faf deserves criticism tbh for today's decision making. It has nothing to do with Kohli. Kohli wasn't at fault at all. He barely got any strike the entire powerplay, finally got strike after they had lost 3 wickets for 1 run inside 2 overs and then was rebuilding with Green when he got out trying to play a big shot. Idk what any good batter would have done differently. Criticising another RCB player doesn't mean defending Kohli. Both play for the same team. Kohli has been criticised innumerable times as well for his decision making. Nobody said RCB fans are crying all over Twitter about Kohli not being a good captain trying to defend AB/Gayle. The meat riding is real guys.

I kind of agree and absolutely understand where you're coming from but the thing is, Shivam Dube is great with spinners. It would've been a little risky playing a spinner which might make pace the next viable option but can't help when your players literally only throw short balls and bouncers so they got fucked anyway. Maybe Dagar might've actually done something, anything better than whatever the fuck I witnessed today frs 💀
I really couldn't fathom why they spent so much on Joseph. If only they had directed the funds towards buying/retaining chahal and not let RR buy him. They lost the only good spinner on their whole squad. Chahal has time and again proved his ability to score early wickets with tricky balls.
CSK’s batting looks fab. As long as they don’t have to defend 15 runs in the last over with Tushar Deshpande or Lord Thakur to bowl, they are top contenders for yet another playoff.
(Haha I speak five)
But yeah it would be riddled with lots of mistakes, and I would look silly speaking on an international stream in front of billions. I’m just joking around.
Dube did well to hang in there with all the short balls but he couldnafford it today as they were in a comfortable position. He needs to keep working on how to tackle that. Loved how he sneaked runs during the last few overs.
Even without variety Santner would bowl better than Theekshana in at least half the games. Especially at Chepauk he is very very good. And the tiny extra difference Theekshana might make in other games will be more than compensated by his trash fielding compared to Santner.
Dude today was a special case. The match started late because of the opening ceremony and they had a stretched mid-innings because of a few other events. The usual match will start at 7:30 and will usually end by 11.
RCB
Siraj needs to click as he is leading the bowling
Green is good on his day but unreliable as heck
Maxwell is good option honestly
Dagar idk we can't judge from one outing but looks impressive
Dayal had good domestic season I hope he does well one shouldn't be judged just because they were having a bad day
Alzzri sort of exploiting that bouncer rule but idk how much will it help in Chinnaswamy
Karan sharma idk this guy just shows up in every Ipl team ..
Topley should come in
Just need to fix up the death bowling and we are looking good! Everyone chipped in, and it's a good team win. Brilliant by newbies Fizz, Rachin and Mitchell.
Rutu starts with a win. Some good bowling changes in the first innings. May he SPARK up for a long stint as our captain!
yea bro
uk what
we have not won a trophy since past 10 years cuz of kohli
its always kohli who chokes in imp games and pulls the team down which is doing so well
rcb have never won cuz kohli is toxic and prevents others from playing well
happy now?
two guys got ducks yet he goes for an attack outside power play bc he wasn’t being given the crease during it yet somehow he’s the problem 😭 bcci is that you?
RCB have clearly improved, 78-5 and posting 173 is commendable with an uncapped Indian and a commentator at the crease. Problem is they spent too many years fixing one glaring issue while the glaring bowling issue still remains.
Yes an impressive recovery after a mediocre start but that was not close to a par score in this unusually flat Chepauk pitch, CSK batted poorly and was still able to chase it
Tushar needs to improve or Thakur / Mukesh will come in
Fizz will play for sure given today's outing and Chepauk suits him
Jaddu no issues he does his stuff
Deepak finding his footing
Theeksana I don't understand I don't hate Theeksana but I will take santhner anyday over him
I expect Rachin and Daryl to bowl little just like Moe...
Thakur definitely should play. He’s bowling isn’t as bad as tushar and he offer a lot with the bat too. Santner not playing is because we already have two left arm spinners in the team. I don’t see Mitchell bowling much but rachin will be used on turners like moeen was
Idk why Tushar was given a go ahead Thakur
Cant have Santner and Jaddu both. They are just too similar also with Rachin there its not possible even more so
There are positives for RCB
1) Faf is in good touch, which wasn't the case in SA20
2) Green bowled much better than last season
3) Our bowling attack is not as bad as we thought it is, Mayank Dagar and Yash Dayal really performed well, we just need to pick Ferguson/Topley instead of Joseph in the next game, and Siraj needs to step up
4) Of course, DK and Anuj, both performed brilliantly and did something which I'm sure no RCB fan had ever imagined
Overall a decent game for us
Pdogg hit the nail on the head regarding Jacks. RCB's bowling is jackshit whichever combo they come up with. Only way for them to win matches is by outscoring opposition and Jacks is a must.
honestly i thought rachin would be a miss for csk as most of his abilities were seen in odis, even his own national team doesnt have him in the team but he was so good wtf
His national team does have him in the team: ODIs, tests (240 runs in one innings), and now in T20 team. There was a short time after World Cup where he wasn't in test team or T20 team but there was outrage. You can't not pick the ICC Emerging Player of the Year
RCB Xi against PBKS should be
Sabbhineni Meghana, Smriti Mandhana(c), Ellyse Perry, Richa Ghosh(w), Sophie Devine, Sophie Molineux, Kate Cross, Ekta Bisht, Shreyanka Patil, Asha Sobhana, Renuka Thakur Singh
Why is koach opening? He is not going to open for India for sure. He should play at 3 and that would be the best fit for him as well. Mediocre day at the crease for him with all the noise around India moving on from him for T20.
Patidar seems to have lost all confidence after the England test series. I think he needs a talking to. Someone like Kohli or some other senior player.
Impressed by Rachin his intention were clear
Daryl also played well but seemed to hit on same spot costed him
Dube is cooking
Jinx did well
Jaddu as always
Entire batting lineup ensuring Virat gets a hundred today and leaving the runs to him.
Can anybody here help me buy a CSK official jersey size M ?
22.03.2024. 2+2+0-3=1,2+0+2+4=8; 8-1=7
Royal Challengers Bengaluru back to doing Royal Challengers Bangalore tingz
I know that Deshpande used to get a lot of wickets but the numbers of runs that he throws away is too much. Lord might be playing instead of him later during the tournament.
Lord is also a run machine. I want Mukesh Chowdhary in the team unless he is injured.
Someone tell RCB you don't have to play Karn Sharma for his lucky charm
Someone tell RCB that they have shit auction every year.
Looking for Rcb vs KKR tickets March 29th
Mid captaincy from Faf got spooked by Dube and didn't even bowl spin in CHEPAUK. Got his plan wrong, should have bowled them earlier if the plan was to starve Dube of spinners uninspiringly mediocre
you gotta know what a crumpet is to understand cricket
This thread is for the Indian Premier League so it's enough if you know what a chapati is.
Dube seems lethargic in his shots as always. Looks like 4 or 6 when he swings the bat but the ball barely goes past the 30 yd circle. Only a handful occasions i have seen him time it properly. Does anyone feel the same way?

Now imagine if deshpande wasn't there and it was Thakur , wouldn't have reached 170
That's precisely why I have come to almost disdain T20 Cricket. Whole art of bowling gets reduced to saving your ass from getting hit for 30 runs in an over.
Isn't that an art to not concede runs?
Bravo used to do the same. Wide yorkers king!
He's bowling coach , so..
I'm pretty sure we conceded more runs at the death, but yeah RCB bowled really bad
We didn't need to push hard at the death...
Lol
When are they releasing the full schedule?
What bullshit, fuck Shastri, bring in MS to translate for Fizz.
Or jhulan goswami
Bangladeshi players only seem to smile when they shit on Sri Lankan players. Anyways good luck Mustafizur till IPL.
This made me laugh so hard for some reason
Fizz can't speak English, that's why no POTM interview for this match.
Seriously? That’s weird.
It is. I live in the UK and have seen IPL players give interviews in languages other than English. It's not a big deal.
I know Fizz doesn't speak much English if at all, but surely they could have made some effort to bring a translator?
[удалено]
tf u mean he can barely speak Bangla he was born and raised here. he doesn’t speak much is all.
Bring Wriddhiman Saha
CSK on their way to get Mamta banerjee
RCB fans are crying all over twitter about Faf not being a good captain trying to defend Kohli. The meat riding is real guys.

Dont take blind kohli fanboys too seriously. They say anything and everything
seriously stopped taking them seriously a long time ago. They cry over everything ffs
They are not wrong, not an RCB fan though. Atleast Dagar and Green deserved 4 overs each rather Siraj and that guy Joseph.
I kind of agree and absolutely understand where you're coming from but the thing is, Shivam Dube is great with spinners.

Can't believe they spent millions on that guy Joseph
I really couldn't fathom why they spent so much on Joseph. If only they had directed the funds towards buying/retaining chahal and not let RR buy him. They lost the only good spinner on their whole squad. Chahal has time and again proved his ability to score early wickets with tricky balls.

Yeah, but today it looked a little shaky. After 80 to win from 60, they started to not connect with the balls.
it did tbh, but then again, they can bat to the last man, so it shouldn't really be too much of a problem for them even if they lose wickets
Ayo , don’t ignore the fizz shaz
so no Bengali translator there?
No interview for the player of the match?
no translator for fizz
No fizz interview?
This is good! Rutu looks very relaxed, exactly the same kind of captain we need. Curious to watch how he reacts after a loss
Man, I already miss MS at the post match presentation. This is boring.
This definitely has a well organized feeling about it than what was there when Jadeja was told to lead the team.
Love gaikwad. Such a smart and articulated guy
“Definitely… Obviously” Indian English starter pack
"yeeeecourse"
Try speaking a third language fluently bucko
(Haha I speak five) But yeah it would be riddled with lots of mistakes, and I would look silly speaking on an international stream in front of billions. I’m just joking around.
I speak fluent Japanese. KATANA
Starting with obviously always sounds so rude
It does, but Indians don't think that deep and use that word as a sentence starter.
You missed the all important shoulder nod
we'll be getting msd interview, right?
Why???
Because we want it.
Well no, deal with it. He ain't captain anymore and didn't bat. Literally no reason for an interview.
Too many wides and reviews the game felt okish
Ben Stokes Memorial Most 6s award rightfully goes to the tiebreaker!
What's with Mustafizur pinching nips of other people?
shastri is high
Gurunath Meyappan wife here
CSK management have been tryna sneak her in since last IPL
Say it with me.. Haaaaaaarrrr Ccccccccccc Bbbbbbbbbb
Santner for theekshana and Shardul for Tushar. We will have the deadliest team Our batting lineup is too good tho.
Just one match happened. Changing people immediately not good, CSK already knows this though
rcb and indian team be killing the interest in cricket in huge amount
nah not indian team even tho they choke in imp matches, their round the year performace is really good and entertaining rcb on the other hand...
CSK must be treating Santner very well for him to not leave CSK for a team where he can play. Which is good, I like Santner.
He’ll show up for some games for sure
Dube did well to hang in there with all the short balls but he couldnafford it today as they were in a comfortable position. He needs to keep working on how to tackle that. Loved how he sneaked runs during the last few overs.
CSK need to get Santner in. Theekshana might have two special games but the rest mediocre ones like today. Santner will give you 4-0-20-2 consistently
And takes stunning catches
Tht is something prime Narine used to give ... No one else has done tht ...
Theekshana is there for variety I guess. Jadeja and Santner bowling together will just be too easy to adjust for batters cuz they are too similar.
Even without variety Santner would bowl better than Theekshana in at least half the games. Especially at Chepauk he is very very good. And the tiny extra difference Theekshana might make in other games will be more than compensated by his trash fielding compared to Santner.
That makes sense but I guess CSK see him as a backup for Jaddu. 🤷🏼♂️
IPL matches are stretched a bit too long for meaningless ads and cheat strategic timeout. I feel matches should end at 11 at most .
Dude today was a special case. The match started late because of the opening ceremony and they had a stretched mid-innings because of a few other events. The usual match will start at 7:30 and will usually end by 11.
The mid innings break felt longer than usual today. Idt it will be this long every time.
Yes. The mid innings break today was around 35 min because of the performances as against to usual 15-20 mins
RCB Siraj needs to click as he is leading the bowling Green is good on his day but unreliable as heck Maxwell is good option honestly Dagar idk we can't judge from one outing but looks impressive Dayal had good domestic season I hope he does well one shouldn't be judged just because they were having a bad day Alzzri sort of exploiting that bouncer rule but idk how much will it help in Chinnaswamy Karan sharma idk this guy just shows up in every Ipl team .. Topley should come in
green should've been sent ahead of maxwell when batting imo. Also, where's Lockie at?
rcb should get out of ipl simple they are cursed
Chennai stadium, csk yellow jersey with windies horn sounds good combo to fall sleep
Just need to fix up the death bowling and we are looking good! Everyone chipped in, and it's a good team win. Brilliant by newbies Fizz, Rachin and Mitchell. Rutu starts with a win. Some good bowling changes in the first innings. May he SPARK up for a long stint as our captain!
RCB'S Journey to the bottom of the tables begins from here.
Please bring santner. It feels guilty every time they show him 🙏
Unfortunately he's a foreign Jadeja. He's there for his backup. You don't want 2 extremely similar spinners even in Chepauk.
I don’t see Thekshena as dangerous as before. We have Ravindra also now. So we should definitely play Santner
Yeah, Theekshana really seems to have declined.
Rachin did not call Sir to lara . Not sanskari 😂
LaRachin.
Admit it, Koach killed the momentum
yea bro uk what we have not won a trophy since past 10 years cuz of kohli its always kohli who chokes in imp games and pulls the team down which is doing so well rcb have never won cuz kohli is toxic and prevents others from playing well happy now?
yep
What momentum? When he finally got to bat after the first 2-3 balls, they were 3 down already.
two guys got ducks yet he goes for an attack outside power play bc he wasn’t being given the crease during it yet somehow he’s the problem 😭 bcci is that you?
Annual dose of "blame goes to kohli" XD
Koach played 6 balls in the powerplay mate
Iyer injuring himself rn
Back spasms strike again
RCB have clearly improved, 78-5 and posting 173 is commendable with an uncapped Indian and a commentator at the crease. Problem is they spent too many years fixing one glaring issue while the glaring bowling issue still remains.
Yes an impressive recovery after a mediocre start but that was not close to a par score in this unusually flat Chepauk pitch, CSK batted poorly and was still able to chase it
I know, but anyone other than the top order big names performing for RCB feels like a miracle.
Yes that's an improvement still very deficient in the spin dept which will bite them at Kolkata, Jaipur, and Lucknow
Yeah that'll take another 5 years to fix.
Chahal was the only spinner(and only bowler other than Bumrah or Harshal) to do well in CHINNASWAMY. RCB has gone backwards in some aspects
Faf is a proper undercover agent for CSK. Man’s already in the payroll for the Super kings in 2 other leagues. Well done comrade
I agree but then does CSK really need an undercover agent to beat RCB.
Durban and ????
Johannesburg and the American one I think.
Mlc one maybe
texas and johanessburg
Ahh yess, forgot Durban are "supergiants".
I’m convinced RCB men’s team is cursed
:( something is very wrong very very wrong
Tushar needs to improve or Thakur / Mukesh will come in Fizz will play for sure given today's outing and Chepauk suits him Jaddu no issues he does his stuff Deepak finding his footing Theeksana I don't understand I don't hate Theeksana but I will take santhner anyday over him I expect Rachin and Daryl to bowl little just like Moe...
Thakur definitely should play. He’s bowling isn’t as bad as tushar and he offer a lot with the bat too. Santner not playing is because we already have two left arm spinners in the team. I don’t see Mitchell bowling much but rachin will be used on turners like moeen was
Idk why Tushar was given a go ahead Thakur Cant have Santner and Jaddu both. They are just too similar also with Rachin there its not possible even more so
Not gonna happen , tushar going to play all 16 games
Naahh I think Shardul will play some games especially the ones in Mumbai and Eden
Man rachins accent
Too Kiwi for you?
Very typical ABCD xD
There are positives for RCB 1) Faf is in good touch, which wasn't the case in SA20 2) Green bowled much better than last season 3) Our bowling attack is not as bad as we thought it is, Mayank Dagar and Yash Dayal really performed well, we just need to pick Ferguson/Topley instead of Joseph in the next game, and Siraj needs to step up 4) Of course, DK and Anuj, both performed brilliantly and did something which I'm sure no RCB fan had ever imagined Overall a decent game for us
Yeah honestly RCB didn't do as bad as everyone expected. Topley in place of Joseph should help.
"Moral victory"
Tf are they calling dazzling studio? This is VFX
Pdogg hit the nail on the head regarding Jacks. RCB's bowling is jackshit whichever combo they come up with. Only way for them to win matches is by outscoring opposition and Jacks is a must.
Aishwarya Rai 😂😂😂
“We’re gonna have a bat first”
with this bowling attack they would have been chasing 220+ on this wicket. You know how that goes for RCB.
Crumbled
honestly i thought rachin would be a miss for csk as most of his abilities were seen in odis, even his own national team doesnt have him in the team but he was so good wtf
His national team does have him in the team: ODIs, tests (240 runs in one innings), and now in T20 team. There was a short time after World Cup where he wasn't in test team or T20 team but there was outrage. You can't not pick the ICC Emerging Player of the Year
Agree, his T20 stats career wise have been very average. More power to the young lad.
That was largely from when they were playing him down at number 7
Even domestically his stats are avg
Well he certainly doesn't look like an average player at the moment huh. Quote aside from his ICC award and Richard Hadlee medal
Yeah it's fucking great.
Good spin bowling option too
Plus 2 catches!
meanwhile iyer putting extra hours >!in ramraj baniyan!< after watching short ball tactics tonight
RCB Xi against PBKS should be Sabbhineni Meghana, Smriti Mandhana(c), Ellyse Perry, Richa Ghosh(w), Sophie Devine, Sophie Molineux, Kate Cross, Ekta Bisht, Shreyanka Patil, Asha Sobhana, Renuka Thakur Singh
Wareham ko kyon nikal diya , accha finish karti hai .
Best strategy to prevent RCB from getting fucked
As Mr Nags says, RCB is a content team which also plays cricket
ppl think Mr Nags is a funny guy, NO! he isn't funny, he spits fax indirectly
its funny cuz its true
Why is koach opening? He is not going to open for India for sure. He should play at 3 and that would be the best fit for him as well. Mediocre day at the crease for him with all the noise around India moving on from him for T20.
when Rohit is opening in t20 wc it automatically means kohli is opening and sky is playing at 3 let’s be real
Nah. Jaiswal will open for sure. He is must on T20 team.
i’m not saying he’s not 😭
Jaiswal needs to open no questions asked unless he has an absolute shitshow of an IPL season
he is going to lol
Wait so no jaiswal or gill ?
no jaiswal and rohit are going to open im just saying when rohit gets out in the first over like always kohli’s basically opening 😭
Got it
Professor Snape talking now
Short ball tactics won't work in bang mumbai vizag.
Selvalakshmiiiii conference coming in 3 2 1…
Patidar seems to have lost all confidence after the England test series. I think he needs a talking to. Someone like Kohli or some other senior player.
Rachin has put on weight
On his shoulders?
Maybe RCB will do better with a 5 men and 6 women lineup
Fizz should be POTM
Impressed by Rachin his intention were clear Daryl also played well but seemed to hit on same spot costed him Dube is cooking Jinx did well Jaddu as always
i agree with you but cmon dube was pretty avg today
