One thing is quite weird

People are praising PBKS, RCB which is good

But no one is pointing out the choke of GT

They were destined to finish at top , and one factor visible in both recent losses

No 50 from top 3.


Simple mantra , get the top 2 now ✅

Get the match from GT

There were talks before this ipl that who will be the wk or backup wk batter for india in upcoming t20wc

And in this ipl we had plenty of choices

The first one was obviously sanju but the kind of performance he gave in this season already raised questions on his place

2nd was dhurv jurel , though his numbers weren't bad in this season but at many instance he failed to finish the game for rr


3rd - jitesh sharma
He outperformed all others in this list , he wasn't only good with bat but did great with gloves as well


Last one is kl rahul -
I don't see ict picking kl back in t20i setup but , personally i feel he deserves a place & he showed his potential this season , if they backed rohit in 2024 t20wc then kl also deserves backing let's go back in 2022 t20wc where both kl & rohit were main culprits infact rohit performed even worse than rahul but one was backed other one was dropped .

These are the 4 strong contenders in the list

And for me jitesh is the perfect choice

Tell yours ->

Predictions for match 71:

> Iyer to be flopped.

> One of RCB opener will get out under first 10 balls

> Mayank Agrawal will be playing a great knock

> Toss winner will be match winner.

What's yours?

Few interesting battles today


• Pbks pacers vs rcb batters
Jamieson jansen & arshdeep they all are tall bowlers specially kyle & marco

They can trouble the entire rcb batting unit

Considering the salt vs arshdeep matchup rcb will be already playing with 1 wkt down .

Kohli too is conistently scoring runs & maybe today is the day law of avg will hit him .

Nothing to say about patidar his form says it all.

For rcb it's still time to drop suyash and play swapnil singh

I see a classic batting choke today
And an easy victory for pbks

Adding to this

If only rcb unit manage to survive against pbks bowling their bowling will have to face a bat heavy 11 where harpreet brar will come in at 10

So you just can't win except if you are scoring 230 or more & even in that case pbks will look strong

Will he find a way to survive
Or the scorecard will start with 0/1 🤔

1 changes from PBKS side for me will be Hardie

Although not possible, as they'll back Omarzai there

But Hardie is someone who actually plays at that 7/8 spot particularly for his national team too , and in bowling both are average.


For RCB , I'll have swapnil> Chikara , one bowling option + Proven finisher rather than someone who isn't even known at IPL level.

Hardie should come in as omarzai has been on and off with the ball and they aren't properly using his abilities with the bat
Better to bring hardie

In ipl 2026 10 teams will be fighting to face a 44 years old fisherman in the finals

Q - your views on test captaincy ?

A - it's easier than other 2 formats .

Q - One cricketing feat you would like to achieve

A- test captaincy

🤔 mr fixit got revealed  ?

Funny how rcb fans calling him panoti and don't want him to enter in the stadium tonight

He was the potm when rcb won their 1 and only qualifer game .

Yesterday i saw a reel comparing jitesh to thala they did similiar thing with dk last year .

Everytime i wake up i hate this franchise and it's fc more and more my inner voice only tells me one thing - this franchise exist to face defeats and humiliaton

but then , i look at the face of this man and ask myself did he do any wrong to deserves this kind of pain & trauma for past 17 years ? And even the non followers of him will say - no

He carries no personal grudges & hatred towards anyone & for what he has been doing for this franchise specially since 2023
atleast for once he deserves to win that trophy & after that this franchise can remain trophyless for eternity .

So they're going in with the most basic and needy changes


No Hardie , Omarzai as predicted

No Chikara/Swapnil, Hazel for Thushara as predicted.

As easy as that.

The pitch report says there is decent grass on the pitch. It will get extra bounce here. Josh hazlewood will play a huge role there. But I think Rasikh playing in place of Suyash wasn't a bad option. This green pitch would've helped him because of his gun pace. Also Dar can bat a little bit too
