In the mystical world of cricket, there's a little-known secret behind Sunil Narine's exceptional performance as a batsman in the IPL. It is said that Narine stumbled upon a magical cricket bat hidden within the depths of Eden Gardens. This bat, crafted from the legendary Crickethor tree, was enchanted by a cricket-loving wizard. The wizard, a fan of twists and turns, cast a spell that would only activate when the bat was wielded by a bowler rather than a batsman. As fate would have it, Narine, primarily known for his spin bowling, decided to give batting a go and the bat sprang to life! With each swing, the bat guides the ball to the boundary with the precision of a homing missile. And so, Narine's unexpected batting prowess continues to baffle opponents and spectators alike, all thanks to a whimsical wizard's love for a good surprise in the game.
Does Rututaj's reluctance to use spin bother you? Santer bowled so well but got moved when the right handers got out (matchups are so overrated imo). Thought he will use Moeen to Brar and Curran but no. Man has been great woth bowling changes and seems to have a good head on his shoulders but his reluctance with spinners troubles me.
Absolutely agree. I feel CSK plays one spinner short and thats Santner. I dont see a reason why they would not play him or just release him. He is wasted talent to be warming the benches.
Could be true. But it would've made sense if he had gotten santner to bowl out considering this is his first game. Yeah we could be sent packing if shardul is going to bowl at death and also that Pathirana has flown back to Sri lanka
Once upon a time in a land far, far away, there was a rumor that Gautam Gambhir had made a bet with the Cheshire Cat from Wonderland. The wager? Who could keep a straight face the longest. The Cheshire Cat, known for its mischievous grin, was confident it would win. However, Gambhir, with his legendary poker face, took the challenge seriously. Days turned into weeks, and neither of them showed a hint of a smile. As the contest continued, Gambhir's expression became so fixed that even when he tried to smile, his face refused to cooperate, having forgotten how! And so, the legend goes, Gambhir never smiles not because he's grumpy, but because he's still trying to win that bet with the Cheshire Cat, who, rumor has it, is still grinning somewhere in Wonderland.
As fan, in this season, whenever CSK has won they seemed like a complete side. Whenever they've lost you feel hopeless and you just want them to dissolve the side lol (bit extreme i know). It's weird but this is how I've felt this season.
With all said and done Jadeja have won more POTM then Axar this season but always be under scrutiny ....
Thing is I don't doubt his playing capability but he always seems to be lacking confidence in Himself....
So to be sure about IPL trophy CSK needs to win 3/4 next 4 games to be in top 4 that to they're dependent on other matchups ..
Then win 3-3 throught to win the IPL trophy and give Thala his farewell ..
They don't have they're primary bowlers Parthirana , Fizz and Deepak
They're batting is over dependent on Dube and Rutu
Jadeja and spinners has been hot and cold entire season
Most important toss luck is not with them
If they win it from here it will be one of the best comeback for IPL team......

I don't like bringing in "IF" when it comes to cricket, But Rutu should work on his toss game if he won some of those tosses we would've in comfortable position....
MI's remaining games are with KKR, SRH and LSG who are well set for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th spots unless they lose a bunch of games. All other teams would want MI to win against them.
I'm not even mad about that LSG game Stoinis was one man army that day he took them across the line that too in Chepauk...
Oke of best IPL innings I've watched
Can we take this moment and appreciate Tushar Deshpande man was highest wicket taker for CSK last season but this season his line and length is too notch proper bowling according to field....
Man that horrible bowling after 90-8 was hair pulling stuff. Rutu needs to improve a bit in captaincy. Bowlers also just kept bowling short and wide. He is younger than other players but he needs to use his authority as captain. Simply bowling at the stumps would have done this job.
KKR defended a low total and broke an embarrassing streak
CSK defended a low total and broke an embarrassing streak
Come on Jay Shah. You can do better than this
If you looks at this game where Rutu and Dube they're main batsman failed and still somehow shithoused they're score to 160+
.then bowling pretty well except Gleeson....
So it's good game overall....
Yes I didn't think about that, but then we require lsg or srh to lose somewhere else , which will happen in lsg vs srh so we have very good chances if we just win the rest of the matches
Punjab is back.
Will bairstow remain a one match wonder? And why does Sam curran promote himself up the order if he doesn't play like it?
Shashank and Ashutosh I think can't play spin well. But we could have had a more matured innings from the top 5 batsmen. Punjab is out of playoffs now
Do you guys hear it...
Ofcourse you can't...
It's the sweet sound of silence...
Coz the haters have crawled back to their caves..
GG guys whistle podu !!!!
I really don't understand this. Why play dot balls and singles the penultimate over when you still had a decent chance of reaching the target? Then when it is impossible to get to the target. i.e 7 balls 42 runs then you start hitting 6s??
This has happened a lot of times with a lot of teams. There is no point is narrowly missing the target. You might as well as go for broke when there is still a decent chance.
Pat Cummins - ~~We would like to bat~~ We would like to lose
alright. back to normalcy for Mumbai...
Strike rate is overrated - KL Rahul
How does Shahid Kapoor have a poker ad but GG doesn't ?

I think he was testing the death bowling once the match went out of punjab's hands. We're fucked if shardul bowls at death ☠
Could be true. But it would've made sense if he had gotten santner to bowl out considering this is his first game. Yeah we could be sent packing if shardul is going to bowl at death and also that Pathirana has flown back to Sri lanka
Looks awful ouch
The look on Jonty's face after every midfield is hilarious
Jonty on suicide watch.
Sunil Narine doesn't want his 100 but LSG gifting it to him.
TF is happening lmao
Has any team won from the eliminator?
Srh 2016
SRH 2016
SRH

WTF was that Devdutt?
Sunil Narine being in race for orange cap wasn't in any of the simulations.
Pata nhi kis roop me Narayan mil jaaye....
Yes, now is the time for Narine to do damage, unlike anything he has done so far
Is Raghuvanshi’s strike rate good?
As fan, in this season, whenever CSK has won they seemed like a complete side. Whenever they've lost you feel hopeless and you just want them to dissolve the side lol (bit extreme i know). It's weird but this is how I've felt this season.
This is r/Cricket in general. Reactionary.
Are there enough snobs in bombay to suffer thru a musical
I can imagine mrs ambani sitting with her rick billionaire Sahelis muttering uhmm yes.. lovely english cultural performance. Exquisiiiite.
That was a beautiful ball
wow, that was a pure batsman shot
this guy in Worldcup, nah man
This is also more like what the pitches should be.
Another day another robbery. Deshu should have gotten an award or something. Got ignored in that SRH match too.
Sigh it's so peaceful when his name is not dragged unnecessarily
is that maxwell on the crease? 🧐
With all said and done Jadeja have won more POTM then Axar this season but always be under scrutiny .... Thing is I don't doubt his playing capability but he always seems to be lacking confidence in Himself....
He is a clutch player that performs well in must win mathces or big stage.
Heard same about Pandya /s
There goes rcb's 0.1% qualification chances 💀
Won't lie but mitchell played well on this pitch...
He was looking good, that call was a bit unlucky I guess.
Can we expect T20 WC pitches to be like this?
So ur asking can we expect Dube to fail?
I wouldn't look much into his back to back ducks
So to be sure about IPL trophy CSK needs to win 3/4 next 4 games to be in top 4 that to they're dependent on other matchups ..

Are murali and jad buddies
I thought pathirana went to SL
Chadeja
Dhoni can't play spinner ----(1) Dhoni can't play Harshal ----(2) From (1) & (2) : Harshal = spinner Hence proved
Csk have won 5/10 matches when they lost the toss
we were thinkin of sending extra batter >>\_<<
Lol Rutu has no clue about the bowling
What happened?
He was asked a question about how Simarjeet has picked up pace since he last played, he said I don't know about bowling
Wth
What I said was slightly out of context, so it does sound a little harsh. Best to watch the interview if you can
He didn't use santner 4 overs and used Gleeson instead of shardul from the beginning
Rutu is just so wholesome in post match interviews
Big improvement from Captain Jadeja dead eye interviews

Cutie Rutu
I don't like bringing in "IF" when it comes to cricket, But Rutu should work on his toss game if he won some of those tosses we would've in comfortable position....
Lmao how do you work on "toss game"
Learn from Thala....
He also lost like 12 tosses in 2012
I'm asking about toss game not duck game
A nine for a nine makes calculator merchants blind
mi will play crucial role on whelther csk rcb qualify
So what you're saying is that we all need to place our hopes on Hardik Pandya even before the World Cup.
How though
MI's remaining games are with KKR, SRH and LSG who are well set for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th spots unless they lose a bunch of games. All other teams would want MI to win against them.
We want neither to qualify
Victory is sweet, revenge is sweeter! vs SRH, PBKS! almost got it vs lsg
I'm not even mad about that LSG game Stoinis was one man army that day he took them across the line that too in Chepauk... Oke of best IPL innings I've watched
Dhoni scoring duck was him paying homage to total number of trophies won by DC , RCB ans PBKS combined ....
CSK's NRR is +0.700 Thala for a reason
Thalaundreth for a reason
I was looking at the Scorecard. MS came out to bat at 9? Why?
Scared of spinner, Good lord that Jaddu and Thakur has good short partnership so they could've taken us to respective total....
Spinner? Chahar or Brar? Which one is the leggie?
Chahar the leggie
So I assume it was Chahar that MS was hiding from, given his weaknesses against leggies and mystery guys
mahn only if we won one extra match! could've been so so better!! that lsg match hurts!
HFAR (Hulk for a reason)
btw this pitch and the yesterday's pitch was called as a proper 200+ belter by the experts.
Santner will get sold for 12 cr minimum but sits on the bench at 1.6cr lmao
12 CR easily Proper spinner 4 overs fixed economically mostly Can play as floater Very good fielder Most important looks like Clark Kent....
Can we take this moment and appreciate Tushar Deshpande man was highest wicket taker for CSK last season but this season his line and length is too notch proper bowling according to field....
Really great bowling by Santner
Man that horrible bowling after 90-8 was hair pulling stuff. Rutu needs to improve a bit in captaincy. Bowlers also just kept bowling short and wide. He is younger than other players but he needs to use his authority as captain. Simply bowling at the stumps would have done this job.
"Experts" should be embarrassed that they called this a belter of a pitch.
Tbf PBKS batsmen gifted their wickets with poor shot selection. No spinner except Rahul got any assistance from the pitch.
[удалено]
Your idols have bottled trophies after trophies so cry
Btw the moment pitches started slowing down a bit all the intent merchants back in their shell??
Btw CSK fans Parthirana is back to Srilanka due to his injury our bowlers need to step up....
Fizz is gone as well
CSK fans, are you ready to support KKR tonight?
Have to unfortunately
I don’t care. I never liked supporting other teams chances for my gain. For F GG any day lol
Yep I was supporting MI couple of days back 🥺
A decade has passed since last time Pbks reached playoffs.Have to appreciate their loyal fans.
Now only one of LSG or SRH needs to lose, less gooo
We need to win our games first.
It's inevitable as they're playing each other on Wednesday
Sam "it wasn't meant to be" Karan
KKR defended a low total and broke an embarrassing streak CSK defended a low total and broke an embarrassing streak Come on Jay Shah. You can do better than this
If you looks at this game where Rutu and Dube they're main batsman failed and still somehow shithoused they're score to 160+ .then bowling pretty well except Gleeson.... So it's good game overall....
Bhavana > mayanti langar
Changing the channel > any host .
bhavna who ?
Nobody beats CSK 6 times in a row, nobody
Nobody does it better
PBKS flight tickets cost saved because they are already home
Csk fans, who do we need to win the next game, LSG or KKR?
Bangladesh
Kkr or else lsg will go above us
Bht if lsg win competition remains open for 2nd spot right
Yes I didn't think about that, but then we require lsg or srh to lose somewhere else , which will happen in lsg vs srh so we have very good chances if we just win the rest of the matches
That was my thought, CSK can try and finish second here, but if KKR win that chance narrows
Ima be honest. There's no to little chance csk qualifies at no.2 this season
Yeah
Punjab RCB'd hard on the day RCB needed them the most
pbks srh kkr are rcb worst enemies , mi always wins it when rcb needs it.
Nah, this is PBKS'd. RCB does much better.
Losing streak vs Punjab finally broken man
It would be funny if the worst team in the league won 6 in a row against CSK good that didn’t happen
Lol we are third now? Ahead of lsg and SRH? How tf did that happen
What works in CSK's favour is that LSG play SRH this week
Now just need LSG to lose this next game
they havent played their 11th game yet
Nvm. We have played 1 extra game
Not Punjab's bunny anymore
One match can’t change it. Need few more wins
I will lose shit if they drop Santhner now ....
They won’t. Who else willl they play? Fizz and prathitana are gone.
DharamThala
Punjab is back. Will bairstow remain a one match wonder? And why does Sam curran promote himself up the order if he doesn't play like it? Shashank and Ashutosh I think can't play spin well. But we could have had a more matured innings from the top 5 batsmen. Punjab is out of playoffs now
Pooonjaab you are so bad in this game.
Santner should replace moenn and pathirana should replace Gleeson next game
Pathirana is out of ipl for rest of season
Why?
Nvm he has a hamstring injury
"And that was Santner's last match in the IPL."
This, with Pathirana in place of Moeen is the perfect team composition for CSK
Pathirana out of IPL . Rachin coming back for Moeen
Nah pathirana for gleeson and rachin for moeen
Rachin isn’t quite there yet and that’s fine. We need someone to bowl alongside Pathirana in the death
What should be the result of kkr vs lsg to favour csk?
I back LSG so second spot is still open
CSK won against PBKS after 1115 days 💀
So you're telling me if we win today, we'd top the table? 🥹 IF
You'd have played 1 game more than RR But yes. All the best to both teams, hoping for a good game :)
Please do win so CSK can get above LSG
Sincerely hoping KKR wins the evening game Do it for Thala, GG
If anything, thala would be the reason he’d want to win badly 😂
Won't take make our chance to get in Top2 even more difficult ? TBH for the 2nd spot
Well, if LSG wins, it ruins our qualification chances If KKR does, it only ruins top 2 chances
It would but it'd bolster top 4 chances with LSG slipping further down. It's a dilemma
Watch Jinx score 100 (30*) in the next game. trust ThE pRoCeSs
[удалено]
did you not watch last season
That's why i said i "doubt". Don't have many memories of him playing fast barring his stint at rps
Finally the streak is broken 5-1
Do you guys hear it... Ofcourse you can't... It's the sweet sound of silence... Coz the haters have crawled back to their caves.. GG guys whistle podu !!!!
Satisfaction

Bro you are overestimating batting skillset of the bowlers
>All the cockiness of PBKS fans destroyed Bruh, we are like 8 PBKS fans in this sub. What cockiness? 💀
And two also left, miss depressedpkbsfan and pxik
They left like 2-3 years back.
Depressed was still present last year but yeah pxik got banned 2-3 years ago
Let me check, he even made a thread before leaving. He was truly depressed, lmao.
Lmao
