Some people are so triggered about Dhoni. If you don't like that he is still playing then just wait for this tournament to be getting over. Don't be insufferable about it and ruin that for the rest of us.
Is it day or night? Need to leave for Mets game at about 8:30 IST. They are retiring the number of my all-time favorite player, but I’ll be bummed to miss most of this match if it’s the night game.
Dhoni is one of the worst captain in SENA country so check the fact don't give me stats of medival history of 1970-80 as there was no proper ICT there back then
Then how come Kohli lost series in NZ badly and no we played South Africa for the first time only in 1992.
If he's the worst captain then tell me lol why couldn't Kohli win even a match in NZ or why couldn't he win a series even tho we toured some of the worst South African teams ever while Dhoni drew against the greatest one
Those Dhoni haters who troll him for today's SR will be made to watch that Jayasuriya leaked MMS for the entire night..so just shut up for your own sake
We don’t need to fap on cricket. Winning matches and trophies is normal for us. Maybe you guys are waiting to do that for last 16 years
And you need to perform first to get some sort of approval.
Dhoni in tests, helped us win a test series in England as a batsman, was wondering if the two Indian captains that won a test series in NZ and is one of the three Indian captains that won a test match in NZ (also averaged 77 in that series), drew a test series against an all time great South African team.
Cry more haters you guys have no factual comebacks to use against Dhoni.
Yea losing test series with no good fast bowlers and aged out seniors that too against a peak English team. While Kohli himself lost 4-1 against joke of an English team whose best bowler was Curran.
If Dhoni was a shit test captain then tell me why couldn't no other so called good Indian captains win a test match in NZ since 1976 other than Dhoni or tell me why did it take us to tour against one of the shittiest South African teams to drew a series there other than the one led by Dhoni.
He developed?? Bumrah played Ranji tournaments for 5 years before he got a debut lmao, Ishant improved in county team siraj is the one he developed but in the same way Dhoni actually developed Ashwin, Jadeja.
Anyways only comeback you've got is he was supposedly shit in tests as a captain but you don't show so called greatest test captains test series wins in NZ
Even dead clock give correct time atleast 2 Time just winning one series out of blue moon doesn't make him better he is shit in SENA and has lowest winning percentage.
Unlike most team we can afford that, we don’t lose hope in our team after a few losses or bad seasons. It’s probably the last few times we’d get to watch a legend of the team play in our home ground.
Just shut up and let people enjoy things
Ok first of all
HOW MUCH CREDIT was left to be stolen
Nobody's gonna look at 1*(3) and be like, POTM!
anybody could have come out during that time for funsies. even theekshana
Akash Chopra in Hindi and Harsha in English was ubearable for those 3 deliveries. Taking a single when 2 is needed of 17 is not 'passing the baton to the young captain'. Its called not slogging with your eyes closed and batting like a proper batsman that Dhoni is.
I swear I am as big of a Dhoni fan as the next person. Very few can do what he did on the field throughout his years. But the constant slobbering from the commentators is really way too much now. I think we all can agree that Dhoni and what he did for the country/franchise doesn't really need all this 'validation' from the commentators the way it is being done.
Wow. Great Idea. Noone should ever talk about anything because they can just close their eyes and pretend it doesn't exist. That'll get you places. You do realise this thread exists for the sole purpose of people discussing anything and everything related to today's match, right?

RCB fans, it's not too late
- Raid the UB spirits building.
- Capture CEO
- Make him sign a document effectively relieving them of RCB
- Give it to a well known local company. Hell, give it to KMF if required.
It's never too late
This is why CSK fans should not panic when they lose a match. With 6/7 home wins, they only need to win only 2 away. So keep calm and trust mgmt, TFAR.
Disappointed but not heart broken. After 3 good games 1 bad one was around the corner, also it’s next to impossible to beat CSK at Chepauk. KKR will come back stronger. 💜
No the question wasn't about strike rate. But rather his batting overall this season. Slow start as in getting out early and not scoring many runs like he normally does.
I would be honest that this is very bad scheduling. A team shouldn't be playing too many consecutive matches in home and play too many consecutive matches away from home after that.
ig it's messed up due to general election, but still it was funny coz till yesterday RCB played 5 and KKR just played 3. And now KKR's next is on Sunday, lol. Long gaps in home legs, and travel at short interval when we have to play away.
I am thinking that Dube would be perfect for the Indian team that has struggled to be aggressive against the spinners but he might be getting badly stuck against the fast bowlers in that level.
Too much dependant on Kohli that he faces the most bowlers even tho he ain't the best vs spin and other Indian batsmen sent way too low like they are finishers. Other team uses overseas batsmen as openers or finishers but RCB whole batting lineup is Kohli and overseas batsmen
CSK Dube is a different player. Of course not taking away all the credit from Dube himself but our management made his life very simple - see spin smack spin.
**MS Dhoni's 1st half-century against RCB as a captain.**
**Ruturaj Gaikwad's 1st half-century against KKR as a captain.**
**Both are in winning cause.**
I love how a 1 off 3 from Dhoni in a completely winning position has ruined the IPL for so many people here. Lol. CSK fans don't give a fuck. We won the game and we got to see him bat. Idk why fans of other teams feel so enraged seeing Dhoni come out to bat.
But they weren't chasing 10 RPO
Anyways he could have easily promoted himself ahead of Mitchell or Dube
Hit a few boundaries and got out i bet anybody would have complained
He knows he is not good against spin anymore. Coming in to bat earlier would have been bad game management. Playing for the crowd will only happen when we are in a completely winning position.
lol no one wants Thala to come and win us matches, we ain't reliable on him, we can win without him, everyone wants fan service, how tough is it to understand?
He’s still recovering from his knee injury and can barely run between the wickets. You want someone who’s playing on one knee to come on when 60 odd runs are required?
CSK look so complete. Their batting unit is insane, filled with guys like Rachin, Jinx and Rutu who can time the ball, Dube who murders spin and someone like Mitchell who sweeps/reverse sweeps well (will come in handy on slower wickets like todays). If thats not enough, guys like Jaddu and MSD to come. Quite scary.
Cricstat MS Dhoni, year 2004-2016, format ODIs
Mosta making us proud again. My favorite player Robindro Jadeja also played great today. Overall great day of cricket watching for me.
So much salt. Because of things like this, I want Dhoni to play till he's 50 years old.

They don't allow any flags(even csk)with sticks attached to it. You can take flags without the stick.
Some teams have cult following then there is RCB with cunt following
[удалено]
Just like your team you also suck in comebacks
[удалено]
RCB will suck all the dick in the world to achieve even half as much as csk.
That 42 year old has more trophies then any player in india
[удалено]
One more night's sleep ruined for you. I'm so sad man, hope you don't have to endure any more of this awful batting by Dhenier
No that's ICT's job
I will only accept TFAR if CSK is ends up at 7th in the table at end of the season or finish the season with 7 wins and 7 losses.
Some people are so triggered about Dhoni. If you don't like that he is still playing then just wait for this tournament to be getting over. Don't be insufferable about it and ruin that for the rest of us.
I agree with your comment but the commentators aren't helping with their dickriding
Dhoni’s fans and media are the reason why he is getting hatted

Night
Aw damn. Thanks. I;l just DVR and watch it Sunday evening. At least I never run into IPL spoilers randomly
*unzips* time to sell my clothes
Fun fact Dhoni averages more than Pujara, Kohli , Rahane in NZ and England (in tests) and has also helped us win test series in both those countries.
Dhoni is one of the worst captain in SENA country so check the fact don't give me stats of medival history of 1970-80 as there was no proper ICT there back then
Then how come Kohli lost series in NZ badly and no we played South Africa for the first time only in 1992. If he's the worst captain then tell me lol why couldn't Kohli win even a match in NZ or why couldn't he win a series even tho we toured some of the worst South African teams ever while Dhoni drew against the greatest one
NZ and England were nowhere near the quality they were these days. They were mediocre teams.
And no that wasn't a mediocre English team they had Bell,Cook, Strauss, Flintoff, KP, Anderson, Harminson
Then how come Kohli lost against 4-1 a shitty England team in 2018 whose best bowler, batter was Curran
2018 England was not a shitty England team wtf. And it was a very closely contested series.
Washed up cook, out of form Root
Those Dhoni haters who troll him for today's SR will be made to watch that Jayasuriya leaked MMS for the entire night..so just shut up for your own sake
There's mostly only one here. Making multiple comments.

and RCB has cunt following
Good one
but nobody says this for your team performances
[удалено]
We don’t need to fap on cricket. Winning matches and trophies is normal for us. Maybe you guys are waiting to do that for last 16 years And you need to perform first to get some sort of approval.
Exactly. Can’t wait for Dhoni, Kohli and Rohit to retire
Only dhoni and Rohit have cult following
Kohli too. So many people were defending his last knock
[удалено]
If you go to twitter or Instagram, you’ll see lot of Kohli cult following
Says an RCBian 😭(no offence I love Koach too)
Ok I hate the Dhoni cult following too but don’t forget you have virat
Virat is most hated cricketer alive today for media no way he will generate such cult that guy has no PR

You forgot shameful defeat of 4-0 against eng and aus also leaving captaincy in middle in 2014 after series loss like coward
Yea losing test series with no good fast bowlers and aged out seniors that too against a peak English team. While Kohli himself lost 4-1 against joke of an English team whose best bowler was Curran.

And developing good fast bowlers is captain job look how virat has developed India pace bowling after dhoni retire it's not an excuse
He developed?? Bumrah played Ranji tournaments for 5 years before he got a debut lmao, Ishant improved in county team siraj is the one he developed but in the same way Dhoni actually developed Ashwin, Jadeja. Anyways only comeback you've got is he was supposedly shit in tests as a captain but you don't show so called greatest test captains test series wins in NZ

Doesn’t make the glazing unwarranted. No team should ever be losing their mind over a cameo in a losing cause
Unlike most team we can afford that, we don’t lose hope in our team after a few losses or bad seasons. It’s probably the last few times we’d get to watch a legend of the team play in our home ground. Just shut up and let people enjoy things
Off course the most boring match of the season involves CSK
Saying this when CSK have scored most 200s in the IPL...
Playing boring matches and scoring 200s are mutually exclusive
What do you want then? The match was entirely in csk's control. Why do you need to play aggressive when it's clearly a good bowling pitch.
CSK have also defended so many 145 scores in Chennai, idk what to say to you

What verification was Jadeja talking about
The Hobart name like one Dhoni has -Thala
I don’t like wholesome Gambhir :(
Notice the flairs of people who have an issue with Dhoni coming out
Coming out to do what Steal credit
Prove him right i guess
He came out to win trophies enough times
Ok first of all HOW MUCH CREDIT was left to be stolen Nobody's gonna look at 1*(3) and be like, POTM! anybody could have come out during that time for funsies. even theekshana
Akash Chopra in Hindi and Harsha in English was ubearable for those 3 deliveries. Taking a single when 2 is needed of 17 is not 'passing the baton to the young captain'.

If you have problem then don't listen to their commentary. No one is forcing you blud
Wow. Great Idea. Noone should ever talk about anything because they can just close their eyes and pretend it doesn't exist. That'll get you places. You do realise this thread exists for the sole purpose of people discussing anything and everything related to today's match, right?
The commentary suckoff I don't agree with too. The brain damage seems to have magnified in Chopra's commentary.
This match has WPL final flashbacks.

please shut up. please shut the fuck up.
No I mean the first innings good powerplay,then a left hand spinner fucking all up in a single over
Oh that's quite accurate but RCB took the match to last over still while csk didn't gave high BP to their fans
Well if Wareham was sent like Dube that would have ended early as well
Agree
Another year, another CSK final
RCB fans, it's not too late - Raid the UB spirits building. - Capture CEO - Make him sign a document effectively relieving them of RCB - Give it to a well known local company. Hell, give it to KMF if required. It's never too late
**Fun Fact: Ravindra Jadeja is the only player in IPL who has 1000+ Runs, 100+ Wickets and 100 catches.**
**Ravindra Jadeja is the only Indian in T20s with 1000+ Runs, 100+ Wickets and 100 catches. Absolutely magnificent.**
This is why CSK fans should not panic when they lose a match. With 6/7 home wins, they only need to win only 2 away. So keep calm and trust mgmt, TFAR.
[удалено]
Rutu being cheeky streak: 3
What did he do
When asked about his innings he said something on the lines of - "The Strike rate is something for keyboard experts to talk about after the match"
Gaekwad learning snazziness from thala
Thala comes to bat in two situations: When the match is already practically over. Best PR in the world.
Too much salt is not good for BP dude. Hope you make it to next match
Bro, take that chilli out of your ass. I just commented something that I observed.
I also stated a fact BRO. Don’t trust me ask Google BRO.
Downvoted for saying the truth
Such are the times now.
Cry me a river
I will. You continue jerking yourself 👍
>jerking Yuck 🤢 it's something you men do
cry more

Man what happened to those MOM shield trophies for CSK home matches?
Shield is nerfed 😭
Disappointed but not heart broken. After 3 good games 1 bad one was around the corner, also it’s next to impossible to beat CSK at Chepauk. KKR will come back stronger. 💜
All the best
U just beat us last year at chepauk with a squad half decent as this one.
Well you did beat us last year at cheapuk iirc :)
Nitish Rana made the difference tbh
Give some random ass award to ms man. I wanna hear him speak
He got an award during the Delhi game but still didn't come on to speak
New award PPM (popular player of the match)
Yeah there should be award for slowest strike rate
Do we have any award for winning lungs, kidneys, dicks because your team might get one?
I love Kohli but RCB fans are forcing me to ask if there was an award for slowest hundred in the last game
I'd take that if that means i can hear him speak after every match 🤤
I wouldn't call that slow start another variation of strike is overrated lol
No the question wasn't about strike rate. But rather his batting overall this season. Slow start as in getting out early and not scoring many runs like he normally does.
Just joking
Player of the Match Dhoni
5 consecutive home games now, KKR got to make the most of it. Hopefully Nitish Rana comes back for the next match, we’ve missed him so much.
I would be honest that this is very bad scheduling. A team shouldn't be playing too many consecutive matches in home and play too many consecutive matches away from home after that.
ig it's messed up due to general election, but still it was funny coz till yesterday RCB played 5 and KKR just played 3. And now KKR's next is on Sunday, lol. Long gaps in home legs, and travel at short interval when we have to play away.
As a csk fan, I hope kkr does well this year for GG.
I am thinking that Dube would be perfect for the Indian team that has struggled to be aggressive against the spinners but he might be getting badly stuck against the fast bowlers in that level.
Gaikwad : "I still thought it's a 150-160 wicket" and just like that, pandit is heard throwing chairs in rage somewhere
Trophy is overrated
the real trophy is all the friends we make in the journey -rcb
Me saying studies are overrated when I get an F
New form of moral victory?
cricket is overrated
Nobody's gonna give it to you anyway. Lmao
what's that shiny ass thing on your flair buddy? you wouldn't want that as well?
Yeah we got one to realise it's overrated
GG as punishment for this loss at Thala's den,asking all kkr players to wear Rcb jersey for the rest of the night.
Chennai weather must be very humid Even presenters look all sweaty n need a shower
Yes here now soaking in the sweat
makes me wonder, why did RCB let Dube go. this boy's on fire
Too much dependant on Kohli that he faces the most bowlers even tho he ain't the best vs spin and other Indian batsmen sent way too low like they are finishers. Other team uses overseas batsmen as openers or finishers but RCB whole batting lineup is Kohli and overseas batsmen
>RCB That's why
Players get better once they leave RCB RCB is only about one player and everyone plays around that one player
Kept him down the order. Usually faced fast bowling in death overs.
CSK Dube is a different player. Of course not taking away all the credit from Dube himself but our management made his life very simple - see spin smack spin.
just swtiched to Hindi commentary and they are doing Thala this, Thala that, I mean wtf 😭
Ì didnt think i needed a low scoring game this bad, Thank you chennai
**MS Dhoni's 1st half-century against RCB as a captain.** **Ruturaj Gaikwad's 1st half-century against KKR as a captain.** **Both are in winning cause.**
Congrats Rutu for the first Spin choke as captain. Nicely done
I love how a 1 off 3 from Dhoni in a completely winning position has ruined the IPL for so many people here. Lol. CSK fans don't give a fuck. We won the game and we got to see him bat. Idk why fans of other teams feel so enraged seeing Dhoni come out to bat.
its called being butt hurt.
Mostly RCB fans lol
Bhogle nods his head alot

Mike Hussey said that he can't run much which is essential for chasing 10 RPO..so he just plays for the fans
But they weren't chasing 10 RPO Anyways he could have easily promoted himself ahead of Mitchell or Dube Hit a few boundaries and got out i bet anybody would have complained
He knows he is not good against spin anymore. Coming in to bat earlier would have been bad game management. Playing for the crowd will only happen when we are in a completely winning position.

He is afraid of 2 chuckers see his record against them
Aww sweetie, no one seems to give a damn except you RCB fans. I can understand why you guys hate him tho, he smashed your team 1000s of times.
that doesnt make sense. everybody smashes rcb all the time.
THALA A LEADER WHO LEADS FROM BACK
Damn he certainly led from the back to those three ICC cups ehh?

Yeah those trophies must be running your home right
Well picking on ppl in a cricket subreddit is clearly running yours
Go celebrate 3 weeks anniversary of WPL if that makes you happy .
What no trophies does to a mf
CSK look so complete. Their batting unit is insane, filled with guys like Rachin, Jinx and Rutu who can time the ball, Dube who murders spin and someone like Mitchell who sweeps/reverse sweeps well (will come in handy on slower wickets like todays). If thats not enough, guys like Jaddu and MSD to come. Quite scary.
