Rcb going too defensive in pp

They just lost 1 wicket and they are batting like they are 3 downs in 4 overs

Timid mindset

Onr of Mayank or Kohli needs to slog here , Omarzai wa their weakling in the PP , you just can't roam around with 7/8 against their 4th , 5th bowlers in Pp

50/50 sorta PP for both of them , good that Mayank looks set here, for PBKS , the bowling ws good , kept them under 60

But the fielding

Oh my gawd

L standards in the final

Rcb had a mid pp and now they've to take risk against chahal and as I'm writing mayank is gone


Lol they surely needed a 65 run pp here for sure will be interesting to see how kohli goes against yuzi

Keeping aside the fielding standards , Shreyas's fielding placements have been accurate


Touch wood


2 cuts by Mayank and he had a fielder their for him

Same with the boundary including Arsh

Nearly got him with placements

Shows why he is the best cap around ✔️

Avgs around 15/16 in last 5/6 games

Today is the day?


Good captain but a mid tournament through his bat so far

RCB needs him today

Rapa Clutching? 🤔

Somebody please inform Kohli you've got a fierce lineup here


No need to Anchor that too on a flat deck

If you've to play second fiddle

Then there should be no approach like Mayank , atleast from the second end


That's why Rapa is more important than Kohli here for RCB

If Kohli is anchoring because of management's call

Then at least RaPa should look for slogging there. No logic of both players playing slow here. Rcb's trophy depends on Rajat Patidar's inning

Smart bowling that from jamieson after that six bowled back of the length slower one outside off and the very next ball full length slower one onto the stump line.

Surprised rapa✅️

Livi failed in every single match except CSK with bowling

They need the slogging from him

Are RCB Repeating DC’s Mistake?

Is RCB playing too conservatively despite having one of the deepest batting line-ups this season?

We saw a similar story with Delhi Capitals in past seasons big names, deep batting, but a strangely cautious approach. And now, it feels like RCB might be falling into that same trap. With players like Kohli, Livingstone, Jitesh, and Romario, should RCB really be playing safe at both ends? Or is this calculated risk actually a smart strategy in high-pressure games?

Interestingly, Rajat Patidar did try to go hard and break the shackles with an unconventional counter-attack, but perhaps this pitch is actually suiting more conventional cricket, with a par score around 200 suggesting that RCB’s approach might be influenced by surface conditions as much as tactics.

Good to see a difference in approach here

210 should be the target from here

But there are 2 overs of goatdeep too

Tough , not impossible with Jitesh , Romario here

We say he deserves it more than anyone

We say nobody performed for him

We say this team is panoti

But let's be honest as a hardcore kohli fan
I accept that it's not rcb we should call panoti it's kohli instead.

Ofc they have No trophy and the reason is virat himself never stepped up in big ko game for rcb when your star batter plays these type of cancerous knocks there is no way you can win titles

Shambolic

43(35) in big finals

Kohli himself ruined his dream to win ipl. 200-220 is easy chaseable here. Man, look at PBKS batting!

Agle Saala cup naam de

End of a negative knock tbh didn't looked in touch at all no timing at all couldn't even utilize the pp.

43(35) on a flat deck should've stayed till end when livingstone started attacking now.

Whenever someone is hitting six

Commentators only saying one thing
" the batsman is playing like abd here "

Such is the impact of that guy for this franchise
And irony is red dogs call him panoti

• Phil salt - started with 200+ sr

• Agarwal - 133 sr but did actually good hitting 1 six & 2 4s in pp when someone was anchoring on the other hand

• patidar - played with 163 sr

• liam - played with 166 sr

• jitesh - playing with 300 sr

Only 1 clown was statpadding his runs in the name of anchoring out there
If rcb lose this game there is no one to blame except kohli himself.

Rcb at 11:05 today .

The improvement and growth have led IPL to do not consider 190 in finals is a bad total

Never thought that on big diamantion ground, 190 would be a bad total in a final, but we have grown up. The conditions made for batting and mindset of blind slogging is just incredible.
