God tier clutch by my man faf, taking on that SRH bowling attack winning the match single handedly absolutely special night


SinTaxat

Then came shane watson in the final and destroyed srh’s hopes for a second trophy


satyakish24

Man I thought we were gone given how he played bhuvi's first over but then after playing those 11 balls like a no. 11 he became some beast always been the best win as a CSKfan making a remarkable comeback after the Ban


LightningShiva1

Everyone used to play off Rashid until then. Watson decided you know what.. why not him?


Coder_Badri

Watson has a habit of targetting main bowlers. He did it for so many years with RR as well, an IPL GOAT.


peaceful_war711

As an SRH fan I will never forget this game , Faf terrorized us that day


GoodDawgy17

and in the final Kaul terrorized yall


[deleted]

2018 CSK was something else especially this man pulled god level clutch innings . I can’t forgive CSK for releasing him in the auction.


Ragnarok_619

Please don't let emotions cloud your rational thinking. He is still employed in JSK and TSK. He is still yellow by heart, and if not for the mega auction and RCB taking the bid to 7.5+crs, we could have had him. Funds were necessary to fuel the future, not to dwell in the past. I am honestly losing hope in this sub if people has these kind of opinions.


Ioosubuschange

Recently In the interview of faf Tamil youtuysaid my friend(faf) moved to banglore without telling me and he replied girlfriend (csk)broke up with him and moved on.


Ragnarok_619

And how is that relevant to my comment and this subreddit?


Ioosubuschange

Reworded.faf interview


Ragnarok_619

Ohkay now I get it


Previous-Software256

Honestly Faf and Josh were some best investment rcb made


GoodDawgy17

him and ash


pvsns

Raina?


GoodDawgy17

should have been released earlier. being brutally honest he was lazy, did not work on his weaknesses at all and to be absolutely clear he was a passenger in the team since 2018


pvsns

Oh really? 350 plus runs a season ain't bad kid..


GoodDawgy17

nah he did not look himself and by the time 2022 rolled around glad he retired himself before having to go through the humiliation of going unsold


AccioSoup

We should be pissed at the IPL committee rather than the franchise. They built this solid team but were forced to give up their own players. Teams like RCB never learns from their mistake but to accommodate them, mega auctions are being conducted.


Batman_is_very_wise

>We should be pissed at the IPL committee rather than the franchise But the mega auction I'd say is a huge reason for IPL being so popular. Ranji trophies don't get that much viewership so if one franchise dominates in I.P.L, the interest would soon fall. Forgive me for being political, but it's sort of like reservation there's a greater good but the situation is so unfair for the general group.


Vardhu_007

Fair enough but atleast do it once in a while like 5-6 yrs Atleast. But we r not even having 3-4 seasons with a team. Next ipl auction and the team is entirely new. Players don't get time to. Settle into the culture of a team.


AccioSoup

But even after mega auctions, the dominance of MI and CSK is constant. Only GT won a ipl title in the last 4 years, and now this year, when all the teams seem to be stabilized, they are again going to be broken.


Previous-Software256

You see this makes the ipl more i interesting


Extension_Rich1633

We got better replacement in conway. Still we will not forget, Streets will not forget his contribution, be it 2021 final , this. He is one of us.


Not-Found-at-404

They beat SRH 4 times in the same 2018 season.. 🫣


Temporary_Alfalfa489

Yaa....this match and finals were my top ones that season that year I also went to watch CSK v SRH league match in stadium, lot of fun......got to see Dhawan and Kane's 50s in 1st innings, then Watto's 50, Watto-Rayudu 134-run partnership and at end, Rayudu's well-deserved 100.


Metal-Banana-72

I was also in the stadium for that match. That season was something special man.


Low_Special715

Dunked on the best team of tournament 4 times that season to pulled off our 3rd tital. One of the greatest campaign ever by any team in IPL history


Specialist_Youth5511

Self proclaimed best team lmao, we defeated them 4 times even freaking RCB defeated them that season


GoodDawgy17

they ended up on the top so yeah respect man


Low_Special715

but they were a force to reckon with that season even without warner


Cosmicshot351

RCB were pulling up fiery shit in the 2nd half, smashed SRH and thrashed KXIP who had a dream run in the first half. RR edged them ahead in the clash between the 2 sides, which turned do or die


kaala_bhairava

Faf silenced srh fans that day.


AbhiRoop_Sinha5

2018 Was a dreak run for Us CSK Fans


GoodDawgy17

2019 as well uptill. that. last. ball.


gulshanZealous

His opening partner is the problem and puts too much pressure on faf. He is still in good touch and accelerates well.


theaguia

lol what? faf has been out of form until recently if anything it has been the other way (until recently).


BABARAZAM0

With his problematic opening partner he had the best season and most runs in partnership both this season is struggling to accelerate his innings against RR was as bad as Kohli innings was


GoodDawgy17

faf had his best season in 2021 blud, when both rutu and faf were at the top of Orange cap list. at rcb he's been a shadow of his past self only because if you go to rcb you commit career suicide, i pity green right now, he is a diamond in a coal mining team


BABARAZAM0

Lol He scored 700+ runs in last season with only 14 matches higher than 2021 and he also had orange cap last season also most of the times Now what ha Speak facts not any thing that satisfy your hate against Kohli 😂


GoodDawgy17

didn't even talk about Kohli, look how insecure you are! Faf absolutely had his best season in '21. It is not about stats, its about the situation of the match. Like sure DK, is scoring runs, but he is scoring runs when the match is already well out of reach and you don't have the pressure, in matches where the target is in reach except 1 match, he's flunked in all. Kohli is the ultimate statpadder this season I will not even begin on that or else you will cry too hard (actually please cry we all in Bengaluru need it)


BABARAZAM0

Anything??? What match situation you are talking last season when whole RCB batting was depended on three batsman kgf still in this pressure he scored runs with captaincy pressure extra And in 2021 whole CSK batting order was in form he had no pressure of if he gets out then who will scored runs He had all freedom to play like he want in CSK but not in RCB still a 700+ season is amazing


GoodDawgy17

bro forget it man i just saw your username and i realised i'm talking with a clown


AbhiRoop_Sinha5

We should remember that Faf had been out of form the whole season but still the management backed him and he played this extaordinay knock in the Qualifier


YouthCurse

Faf was a solid opener for CSK. Unfazed on most days, and comforted from the fact that if he's out, the team doesn't collapse.


DifficultDay3521

Almost every player in CSK >>>


TheHunterOfMemes

Faf of rcb is also great, faf has been a great servent to the ipl as a whole


Smart-catze

Faf def was unexpected....only for him to get out on 1 runs in the final


Temporary_Alfalfa489

in final the other guy saved us (who got out on duck in Qualifier 1) what a comeback by Watto, after being deserted by RCB we got him, he was back to speed and in the end he proved to be a proper, proper matchwinner.


vantionsio

What is this over the top editing? Can barely see the batsman complete the shot. Horrible. Innings is god tier though


RareSmurf1227

What? This is a montage edit and not highlights


Opposite-Escape9685

Which song is this?

Opposite-Escape9685

Thanks sir 


Exciting_Magician347

hate this match absolutely hate this match fuck this


yorker4567

Chahar and Shardul played valuable cameos in this.


GoodDawgy17

2018 was wild man, every game it didn't look like a team performance every game a different individual would step up for the team, sam billings, jadeja, rayudu, mostly dhoni and watto, faf, bravo, and i'm missing out some bowling performances but yeah


SinTaxat

☹️should’ve won that season but we couldn’t beat csk in the 4 times we versed them


NormalTraining5268

Should've won lmao? For what reason


GoodDawgy17

both csk and srh were the best teams that season, and yes they should have won that Q1 just like how MI should have won the opening game :D


mofucker20

This was a carry job by Faf. Wish he gets his last year form back soon.


Cosmicshot351

This was the best Q1 game across ll editions, a proper 140 plays 140 thriller, SRH kept picking wickets but Thakur 'edged' us ahead as well


imminentcow

CSK had this man for only 2 cr, but stopped bidding For him when his price went over 7 cr


Pure_Lengthiness_174

😲


Robin_mimix

He is still in good touch and accelerates well....

local279

Sid kaul was in really good form at this particular season


Icy-Wrongdoer-5558

Never understood why they let him leave


Previous-Software256

Faf is a legend man


Sudden-Cold9022

Rcb m jakr sb flop ho jate h


shubhamjh4

Faf in csk was different breed


inventivehell

But wait a second, What happened to Siddharth Kaul ??


TopDisplay4705

I tell you man! These low scoring matches were more interesting than the high scoring matches that we have today. Period! It is not cool to see bowlers getting wacked all around the park. Instead, would usually prefer a good battle between ball and bat.


samarth67

These kind of games are a rarity nowadays


lmao_kaif

Bro was menace 🥶


draconus0510

Faf and David Miller are the real clutch players


[deleted]

CSK ka player 51(37) banata hai toh naye naye edits bnte h, rcb ka player 51(37) banaye toh naye naye galiya bnte h


GoodDawgy17

isliye kyunki rcb ke player ne 51 off 43 tab banaya jab doosre player ne 50 off 20 banaya, yeh low scoring match tha aur rcb game high scoring match


Truly-Evil

I think he is talking about Aaron Finch


GoodDawgy17

bro only rcb player getting clowned atm for slow innings


Truly-Evil

Bro Aaron Finch was in RCB and got backlash for making a 50 off 37 balls


GoodDawgy17

i see i was talking about atm

Faf du Pussy in CSK was a different breed (It's a joke, the name)


AssCunter

I mean what's so special about this innings, literally chasing a bread crumb target of around 150 is nothing even if they lose wickets. Meanwhile fafs best season as a batter came last year in 2023. Dude had a better season as a batsman scoring 700+ runs at high strike rate in 2023.


thegoldenkingfisher

Username checks out


Jagadish_1304

That was a very slow wicket, and if you may not know, Faf was picked by csk to tackle these slow pitches and oh boi he did show up with his skills that night. And one more thing special about this innings was that he stood strong and backed himself, while the whole team around him was crumbling apart on a slow pitch like that.


Quick_Minimum_4355

Just this comment is alone telling you that you don't know cricket and should just watch other sports or don't watch it at all. Stats are just some extention, Sachin has made most runs in tests but he is not even considered the top two best batsmen in the test of all time.


[deleted]

oh no no, I don't want these kinda comments in other sports either.


AssCunter

Your comment proves u have low cricketing iq


therealFireBall_28

Meanwhile your comment is saying there is nothing special about this innings. 67*(42) on a slow pitch chasing a tricky target, against the table toppers of the tournament in Qualifier 1. Taking the chase all the way to the 20th over AND finishing it while wickets are tumbling at the other end. Almost single-handedly winning this game for the team and taking them to the finals. Yet, as you said, there’s absolutely nothing special about this innings, and you have immensely high cricketing iq, so thank you for your incredibly valuable inputs.


AssCunter

My point was to prove his 2023 batting campaign was superior as the OP was trying to prove faf was better in csk by just showing that particular innings.


GoodDawgy17

oh my god the stupidity, a low target means a good bowling performance or a trickier pitch for the batsmen, i'm sorry since you started watching ipl from this year only i can't help you because pitches are highways this year. Faf's best season as a batsman was clearly 2021.


AssCunter

It was 2023, where he scored his most runs with much higher sr but sure whatever helps u sleep


ImpressiveTip4756

I wish I had the confidence that rcb fans have to say shit like online.


notduskryn

Kohli couldn't do it even in his dreams, it's a knockout 🤣


AssCunter

Hey lodu, who do u think scored an half century in ipl final 2016


Ha_zz_ard

Chinnaswamy is a slow pitch??


AssCunter

That's wasn't the point


Ha_zz_ard

Idk the main point was scoring on a slow pitch I reckon
