He need to reintroduce variation in speed, trajectory, and length to get that mystery tag back.

Else, even the best tricks lose their charm when overused.

Marsh fires up today with a 100,hero for LSG the whole season along Markram and Pooran but vain efforts afterall.
First 500+ runs season for him.

Proved everyone incl me wrong and I take it,hope he continues in this dream form for longer.

Improvements have been seen in playing straight drives and straight lofted shots among many players this year.

Suryakumar has also started playing the straight drive well, and Marsh has improved his shots as well.

Blind slogging has decreased this year.

Loved the way how pant backed himself and came to bat at 4

Any other cap would have doubted himself after looking at that scorecard & conditions

Little things that describes the calibre and mindset of a player

Gill will likely try to attack from the very first over.

It’s up to Sai; if he manages to score runs from the start, GT is likely to win.

If not, we know Gill struggles to capitalize and gets under pressure.

I want to see a masterclass from Rutherford today!

I was waiting for Gill to lead the Orange Cap race. He is just 3 runs behind;

the vice-captain spot is locked for the T20I team.

A high-caliber player, he cannot be compared to Water-boys.

GT's top order struggled for the first time, and Akash's brilliant delivery turned the match.

I never had confidence in Rutherford; in my opinion, he failed here. I believe Lomror should play in at least the next match.

No one acted as an anchor in this innings; Gill should have stabilized the innings by taking fewer risks.

(Nazar is real 🧿)

GT Supported very well the cancer fighters and fought against the cause but...

( Ek bewafa ke zakhmon, par maraham lagaane hum gae
Maraham kee qasam, maraham naa milaa
Maraham kee jagah mar hum gae 😭 )

GT never looked in full control today. Especially with Captain Gill not having a clear Plan B after Rashid went expensive and Arshad walked off injured.

Gill could’ve tried Rutherford or even Tewatia; both have rolled their arms in training, and in a game where nothing’s going your way, these backup options sometimes turn out to be match-winning moves.

Once LSG's openers were at the crease:
A. Markram - 28 runs off 17 balls
M. Marsh - 22 runs off 19 balls

While there was a larger total on the board, one of the batsmen from GT's top order could have anchored the innings without taking unnecessary risks.

Shubman Gill, without a backup plan, resembles Dhoni captaining the Indian Test side.

Iyer clears him out>>

Marsh never really timed the ball well; he was relying more on powerful strokes rather than clean timing.

He had hit just 2 boundaries through the off side, which clearly showed his struggle with timing outside off. Rabada tried to target that weakness with off-side bowling, but ended up getting punished by Markram, who looked far more in control.

And speaking of Siraj; he seriously lacks that reliable wide yorker in his T20 toolkit.

LSG beating GT twice in the same season. Still trying to digest that.

Prasidh Krishna didn’t back his strengths at all yesterday; instead of sticking to that hard length (6-8 meter area) which has always been his go-to, he kept bowling fuller deliveries and paid the price for it.

On the other hand, O’Rourke stayed true to his strengths, hit the deck hard, and got big, game-changing wickets; the kind that could’ve completely tilted the game in GT’s favour.

What. He. Did. Was. Tough.
W HTD.

Reports of Rapa being fit for RCB today


Bad news already

It should have been krunal or someone else here

Well who knows he might step up , although the worst batter of RCB

Tfa updated points table after match no 64

Yesterday, SRK shown that GT are not dependent on their 2 or 3 players. Their middle order is also a strong side. I always feel that SRK has capability to make his team win. Along with Tewatia, Sherfane & Now Kusal to come so far..

This total of 235 could have been under 200 if Rashid hadn't bowled those poor overs.

GT is mimicking RR's 2024 season, losing their confidence just before the playoffs.

I'll accept 3 Match captain Bumrah in tests with 2 match stand in captain as Pant

Rather than

5 match captain SENA sucker

Hoping, the captain is someone like Pant

And not someone like Rahul or Gill
