SKY's statement After india lost a T20 against AUS in 2023 at guwahati and missed a 5-0 clean sweep
Prasidh failed to defend 20 in the final over
And all those who says ki Rohit ke time competition nhi tha
Remember T20 WC 2021? It was played just after ipl 2021 and both those tournaments were held in Dubai
Ruturaj gaikwad won the orange cap and CSK lifted the trophy and I remember one game against Mi in 2021 ipl when he rescued his team from an early collapse and even hit a last ball six off BOOMGOAT
So he was batting at his peak and not to forget india batted first innboth the games against PAK and NZ in that T20 wc 2021
But still Rohit got the favour and he opened in the 2021 T20 WC in Dubai I mean how can this life be so cruel for someone like samson and so better for someone like Rohit?
Brook should learn from our captain who to anchor and play for khud ke runs after your team loses two early wkts
Shreyas came in when the score was 6-2 in the last game and scored a brilliant 67(48) with a great intent 4 beautiful fours and 1 monstrous six
Brook came in at 1-2 hit 4 fours 3 sixes for his 39(15) what an ugly knock WE ICT FANS LOVE ANCHORING
Rohit was an opener in at least the 100 innings which are also the same number of innings SKY played as a middle order batter
I will always rate SKY above Rohit in T20is or infact all T20s as a batter
Taking Captaincy for Granted isn't Ideal because you can't find such gems as the captain of your national team they are RARE
And the camaraderie between GG and SKY was top notch as well breaking their partnership made no sense to me
At least GG was safe in T20is with an undefeated record with no series lost but now he gets humiliated in this format as well after Tests and ODIs
Dhawan was also the Mr. ICC he was not less than Rohit as an odi opener
But Rohit betrayed him and khud ne 2023 home odi wc ke flat tracks pe mast hitting kri
Played in the shadows of Southee and Boult all his career but now leading this inexperienced NZ pace attack very well
Interestingly Stokes didn't play here as well since 2023
Pope was the captain against SL in 2024 Pope again in 2025 against India And now it's Root in 2026 against NZ
IMO The Oval has a Curse since 2023 : Unavailability of gun players
Kohli isn't playing this series because of the extreme heat Britishers can't survive this
But now after Surya being dropped from the T20i side Rohit's record for most sixes in T20i remains with him for the time being
Love u bhau just never give up on your dream to play and win the Olympics and T20 WC in 2028
We all believe in you YOU CAN DO IT YOU WILL DO IT
Just get a little Fit though :)
Scored 80 last year against GT in the eliminator with two easy catch drops and still having these abysmal stats
On the other hand Surya is so underrated in the IPL as a batter
Some crucial pointers on this unserious campaign from Mi and it's main players :-
Rohit imo he is aiming for ODI WC 2027 and doesn't even give a f about Mi now and as a batter he was never serious with Mi as we all know
Rickelton fired in some games got dropped mid season De kock scored a 100 in his first game just to get dropped afterwards
SKY and BOOMGOAT both were so visibly uninterested in this season after winning a hectic T20 WC for India
Tilak was on and off either a 250 or 300 SR masterclass or a 50 or 100 SR stinker
Hardik as always being casual taking everything for granted and just like the previous two seasons not a single match winning performance from the Auraman
Pacers Deepak and Shardul started doing well after Mi got eliminated
Will jacks was roaming in Paris when Mi was struggling in the initial phase of the season A BIG BIG Example of the Unseriousness from the franchise this season
Even our spin department didn't get settled all season with Jacks joining late and Santner getting injured mid season
So all and all it was a Seriously Disappointing season from this Unserious franchise
We fans don't deserve this at all just avoid playing whenever you feel like it but don't do this A LITERAL JOKE of a Season from a team who played the QF2 last year :(
But yeah pre 2020 Kohli was an Aggressive Beast who always used to answer with his bat
But since 2020 it has not been the same Virat has become a Monk who scores big when he bats with a free mind
So he should avoid having a go at the opposition players because post such altercations VK himself struggles with the bat
Jonny Bairstow incident in 2022 Sam konstas incident in 2024 And now this
I really hope RCB don't face SRH in the playoffs now because heady is fired up just like Jonny and Konstas
Hitman they say? Is this the calibre of the so called Hitman
Can't even dominate even a single season in a league which is played in India for god's sake
But he is a Certified Mi basher to last league game mein no worries RR fans Jaisu single handedly pel dega humko as he always does
Btw I am Mi fan but really want to see Jaiswal win games for RR it's getting out of hands now only 2 fifties this season for him :(
No wonder why I am so mad at him since last year's IPL FINAL
After losing QF1 one sided against RCB he stated WE LOST THE BATTLE NOT THE WAR only to choke against Romario Shepherd in the final
He took the benefit of our captains poor captaincy in qualifier 2 and smashed topley(3 sixes) and that kid ashwani(5 sixes)
And the funny thing is his he hit just one four against Boomgoat on a Yorker but his PR farmed his aura because of that not because of the 8 sixes he hit that night
Sorry but this guy isn't capable of playing T20 cricket for india let alone appointing him the captain lol
Ishan Kishan and Klassen are the key for SRH on tough batting tracks if they get out early SRH will collapse like they did against GT
That's my assessment for SRH you are the most complete team of the season and should definitely play the QF1
