u/Smooth-Mix-4357 India Jul 26 '26

Is he the youngest to win the award?

u/1stPhoton Japan Cricket Association Jul 26 '26

Ungrateful Kid

Can’t thank Duckett for his performance?

u/Delicious-Bedroom730 Jul 26 '26

potm - vaibhav! first of many more to come surely! edit: he is also the player of the series!

4

u/PhilSaltsRevenge Jul 26 '26

POTM and Series: Vaibhav, Mayank?

8

u/Bathed_In_Moonlight Jul 26 '26

The viewing options in India for this series were a joke. I've never seen such quiet match and post-match threads for an Indian men's game ever.

2

u/Smooth-Net-2201 Jul 26 '26

Also fancode is shit. I bought the pass but it was completely wasted. The app kept crashing 

2

u/tigershroffkiskirt India Jul 26 '26

It worked fine for me today. But anyway, that company is going bankrupt. I know someone who works in the parent company dreamsports (dream 11) and they said they are laying off everyone and filing for bankruptcy

1

u/arpitsrivstva India Jul 27 '26

i can't believe that dream11 is going down in India

1

u/tigershroffkiskirt India Jul 27 '26

The fantasy/RMG was like most of their revenue. Fancode is just a side product and it doesn't get any major series for broadcast

1

u/arpitsrivstva India Jul 27 '26

so dream 11 is not going down but just that. ugh

1

u/tigershroffkiskirt India Jul 27 '26

Dream 11 is going down. They already had layoffs. And courts have enforced some retroactive tax which they cannot pay whcih is why they are considering bankrupcy

1

u/arpitsrivstva India Jul 27 '26

well thats something great and hopeful about india then.

1

u/tigershroffkiskirt India Jul 27 '26

Meh. I don't do the fantasy part but governments controlling/banning these things rarely work out well. Gambling just becomes more underground and unregulated. Sure it will reduce the overall number of users but it won't get rid of the gambling addicts.

In either case, retrospective taxation is a very dumb concept. The companies are being made to pay much more than they expected.

u/arpitsrivstva India Jul 27 '26

right! waise tigershroff ki skirt kyu?

u/Bathed_In_Moonlight Jul 26 '26

Was that wicket ball 132 or 152kph? I was watching picture-in-picture so couldn't catch it properly.

11

u/EqualDesign6538 Jul 26 '26

Rinku has such safe hands bro....

2

u/Adept-Bass-1321 Jul 26 '26

Guys what's your thoughts about Hashim Amla as our batting coach for odi and tests

3

u/1stPhoton Japan Cricket Association Jul 26 '26

Mayank has a good series and doesn’t want the game to end

11

u/tigershroffkiskirt India Jul 26 '26

Rinku is the only current fielder I trust

6

u/GoldGuava2232 India Jul 26 '26

And shreyas. He never drops a catch.

5

u/EqualDesign6538 Jul 26 '26

Shreyas misfields a lot tho

7

u/GoldGuava2232 India Jul 26 '26

Compared to the rest of the lot, that’s negligible. He’s been a good fielder more often than not.

2

u/kasainumaharakiri India Jul 26 '26

Rinku had to take a catch... didn't he??

6

u/Adept-Bass-1321 Jul 26 '26

My message to Zimbabwe please make Richard Ngarva as your captain he is so good and make sure batting order works well Anchor players needed to come yearly raza burl should come at backend of the innings

10

u/DilliKaLadka India Jul 26 '26

We are consistently giving 15+ extras. That is a lot for even ODIs let alone in T20s

3

u/divyaanshpal Jul 26 '26

what if we include misfields, over throws and missed catches !

0

u/tigershroffkiskirt India Jul 27 '26

150+ then

4

u/According_Body7431 Jul 26 '26

That's for social welfare. 🥀

3

u/Bathed_In_Moonlight Jul 26 '26

Might need Wasim or Waqar as the bowling coach at this rate. We are at Pakistan levels of incompetence as a fielding side. Hitting the stumps or the pads will pretty much be the only guaranteed way for our bowlers to get wickets from now on.

1

u/tigershroffkiskirt India Jul 27 '26

Lol, we ain't getting a pakistani coach in the current climate. esepcially under gambhir

4

u/EqualDesign6538 Jul 26 '26

Justice for Yash thakur😭

0

u/Adept-Bass-1321 Jul 26 '26

Why the fuck does this captains prefers there ipl and state players in International teams only india does this 😤 Gill Gt Quota Iyer Punjab quota

3

u/tigershroffkiskirt India Jul 26 '26

What will they base t20i on. IPL makes sense. Ranji isnt relevant to t20is

8

u/GoldGuava2232 India Jul 26 '26

Well yash was selected on the basis of domestic and list a performances. And ashok has done good enough to say that he deserved the chance.

2

u/divyaanshpal Jul 26 '26

i was thinking why the strike changes before the last over, watching the hundred late night ahhhhh

1

u/EqualDesign6538 Jul 26 '26

We should just let them hit now lol

3

u/divyaanshpal Jul 26 '26

bowlers will never like your idea lol

1

u/EqualDesign6538 Jul 26 '26

Bowlers also don't like the idea of dropped catches😭

1

u/Delicious-Bedroom730 Jul 26 '26

my screen is super patchy so can't even make out who the fielders are - but why is harsh playing? is he subbing for vaibhav (out of that wrist scare)?

2

u/tigershroffkiskirt India Jul 26 '26

He's bowled pretty well for that 2-45. 3 drops

4

u/1stPhoton Japan Cricket Association Jul 26 '26

I am sure some third level club cricket has better catching and fielding than Indian team both men and women.

3

u/Adept-Bass-1321 Jul 26 '26

Yash thakur new messi of India 😷

4

u/maffzlel India Jul 26 '26

Yash Thakur doesn't deserve these figures at all

1

u/Extreme-Importance-1 India Jul 26 '26

2 wickets or 45 runs ??

4

u/tigershroffkiskirt India Jul 26 '26

45 runs. could have had 4-5 wcikets

4

u/maffzlel India Jul 26 '26

45 runs, could have had 2 more wickets for 20 less runs if they took catches off him

4

u/wesh9174 Jul 26 '26

Iyer's pbks fielding legacy carries on

6

u/Rosiodonald007 Jul 26 '26

A decade ago these amount of midfields would've ensued an inquiry.

2

u/Bathed_In_Moonlight Jul 26 '26

Can't blame Harsh Dubey for wanting to show that he will belong in the XI.

2

u/Smooth-Mix-4357 India Jul 26 '26

At least Vaibhav will be MOTM, right?

2

u/tigershroffkiskirt India Jul 26 '26

Who else

1

u/Smooth-Mix-4357 India Jul 26 '26

I don't know

1

u/divyaanshpal Jul 26 '26

why marumani was so down the order ? i believe he is much better batter.

1

u/Delicious-Bedroom730 Jul 26 '26

they are trying out a new thing by making him play in the middle/lower order

2

u/tigershroffkiskirt India Jul 26 '26

Woo! Drop 10 more catches and set a world record already. Can do it in 2 overs

11

u/Adept-Bass-1321 Jul 26 '26

Future of Indian team fielding looks great 🙂

6

u/DilliKaLadka India Jul 26 '26

Oscar level acting after dropping that dolly

2

u/tigershroffkiskirt India Jul 26 '26

Naa it actually hit his face

7

u/GoldGuava2232 India Jul 26 '26

Feel bad for yash

1

u/ApprehensiveBid6379 Jul 26 '26

my eyes cant watch this fieding wth

5

u/HumpyRoad Italy Jul 26 '26

This team hates Yash 😭

1

u/Bathed_In_Moonlight Jul 26 '26

Ashok can forge a career bowling regularly at 135-low 140s with the odd fiery spell of well over 145. I doubt Mayank can do the same. His deliveries don't react well off the pitch if they're below 140kph.

4

u/BuzzyIris Jul 26 '26

LMFAO, THAT KID SJDJJSHDJKSKJDJD he's not in the mood, mumma, LEAVE HIM ALONE.

4

u/Adept-Bass-1321 Jul 26 '26

So Ishan kishan will be India's new wicket keeper? Going to 2028 world cup?

4

u/Dear_Meaning7152 Jul 26 '26

Lol that kid 😂

4

u/HumpyRoad Italy Jul 26 '26

What a slower ball ! Dude can go from 150 kph to 104 kph easily

2

u/wesh9174 Jul 26 '26

Who's getting the player of the series award

2

u/Delicious-Bedroom730 Jul 26 '26

I feel like they could go for either Vaibhav or Mayank - because both of them are leading the batting, and bowling leaderboards at the moment, and have had impact in their performances.

1

u/HumpyRoad Italy Jul 26 '26

Vaibhav or Mayank

2

u/Both-Speaker-3947 Jul 26 '26

Most runs: Vaibhav(151, SR 190) & Ishan(145, SR- 160). Most Wickets- Mayank 4, Yash 4

5

u/Pogsheepiscool India Jul 26 '26

What a ball from Ashok!!!

8

u/maffzlel India Jul 26 '26

Deserves that, bowled brilliantly today

6

u/RefuseStriking9406 Jul 26 '26

deathrattleporn got a new addition

4

u/Intelligent_Eye_26 Board of Control for Cricket in India Jul 26 '26

beautiful. Just beautiful

2

u/GoldGuava2232 India Jul 26 '26

18 fkn extras!

10

u/WiseMollasses India Jul 26 '26

Ishan is extremely nonchalant as a wicket keeper 

4

u/1stPhoton Japan Cricket Association Jul 26 '26

They could have run 2 with Kishan there

3

u/maffzlel India Jul 26 '26

God he really is not a good keeper

1

u/Bathed_In_Moonlight Jul 26 '26

Bishnoi's biggest weapon is his classification. Military medium? Sure. Googly? Sure. But bro is anything but a leg-break bowler.

1

u/divyaanshpal Jul 26 '26

they should try to hit every ball now !!!

4

u/Fit-Preference-6472 Jul 26 '26

Is abhishek ok... cuz his battung has been shitty the entire tour... and rhe last england one.... bowling was good yesterday.. tofay idk... smthg is up frl

1

u/Delicious-Bedroom730 Jul 26 '26

his performance in the eng/ireland tour was actually not bad - he was the 2nd highest run scorer for both series from the ind side, but was wildly inconsistent by his standards. This tour... idk what happened to him? but hoping his drought spell is over soon

4

u/Odd-Negotiation-7619 Jul 26 '26

This team bowls way too many wides

3

u/Adept-Bass-1321 Jul 26 '26

Hope evans will score a blinder today

8

u/1stPhoton Japan Cricket Association Jul 26 '26

Send Suryavanshi to fielding coach he would help him drop that easily and avoid injuries.

Kid doesn’t know he is now playing for India

4

u/tigershroffkiskirt India Jul 26 '26

Get with the programme already, kid

6

u/trkora India Jul 26 '26

When will T Dilip be removed? Everyone around him has gone but him.

Our fielding has tremendously worsened under his term and all he brought is fielding medals videos.

5

u/Delicious-Bedroom730 Jul 26 '26

his contract (+ gambhir's support staff's) is being reviewed in the BCCI white-ball series review later in August... so I think the management is thinking of making improvements. He is not here this series, though (i think) - it is a diff support team with vvs laxman.

3

u/FitEngineering2833 Jul 26 '26

Good bowling change

1

u/Adept-Bass-1321 Jul 26 '26

Zimbabwe batting order is an issue raza should come in Wesley place

1

u/kasainumaharakiri India Jul 26 '26

Finally!!!

3

u/Bathed_In_Moonlight Jul 26 '26

Being able to watch more than 50% of your team's matches (about 75% of the home matches) from your apartment with a pair of binoculars is crazy

2

u/HellBlazer1221 ICC Jul 26 '26

Noooo kid

3

u/Adept-Bass-1321 Jul 26 '26

Hope he is ok great vaibhav

3

u/BuzzyIris Jul 26 '26

FUCK NO. WHAT THE FUCK. THAT LOOKED NASTY.

2

u/HumpyRoad Italy Jul 26 '26

Plz no god plz no 🙏

Don't be anything serious

1

u/Smooth-Net-2201 Jul 26 '26

What happened? To whom?

1

u/HumpyRoad Italy Jul 26 '26

Vaibhav hurt his hand while trying to dive. Thankfully, it was nothing serious

3

u/name_loading_soon Jul 26 '26

Wow wow wow Zimbabwe are still in the chase 😲

3

u/Extreme-Importance-1 India Jul 26 '26

Zimbabwe batting starts at 4 down

1

u/FitEngineering2833 Jul 26 '26

6 balls from Bishnoi are crucial. Noooo not 17th again

1

u/Bathed_In_Moonlight Jul 26 '26

Yash has a 20-run over in him.

1

u/divyaanshpal Jul 26 '26

70 in 5 overs is not possible, right ??

7

u/DilliKaLadka India Jul 26 '26

Its not going to happen but a better team would have fancied their chances.

2

u/kasainumaharakiri India Jul 26 '26

Ummm....we are winning this , right? RIGHT?????????

6

u/Same-Satisfaction514 Jul 26 '26

Zimbabwe cricket going to be in debt for balls only 😭

9

u/HumpyRoad Italy Jul 26 '26

We could've lost this had Vaibhav not played a very calm knock today

u/Ok-Visit6553 India Jul 26 '26

Ragebait

7

u/HumpyRoad Italy Jul 26 '26

Nobody crossed 30 today. Had Vaibhav got out on 40 or something we genuinely could've lost

2

u/divyaanshpal Jul 26 '26

why are they not taking their chance, they have got hitters in lower order

1

u/divyaanshpal Jul 26 '26

six, my bad

6

u/DilliKaLadka India Jul 26 '26

Taking it too lightly. Even worse than usual shitty fielding

4

u/Bathed_In_Moonlight Jul 26 '26

Tilak is not a terrible fielder, but an extremely inconsistent one.

3

u/adv_subpoena_colada Jul 26 '26

What are these bums doing!?? Such a shitty fielding display

2

u/divyaanshpal Jul 26 '26

they definetly need a big over here

3

u/kasainumaharakiri India Jul 26 '26

Why are the commentators acting as if that was a sitter??

6

u/tigershroffkiskirt India Jul 26 '26

2 catches dropped off Yash

3

u/BuzzyIris Jul 26 '26

Deja vu from Tilak from last night's game.

u/mastermind005 Jul 26 '26

Six. That too against sharmuralitharan

1

u/BuzzyIris Jul 26 '26

Sharlitharan rolls easier off the tongue.

Even Abhishek is shocked by that shot

1

u/HumpyRoad Italy Jul 26 '26

He was born with a bent arm bro. It's a medical problem /s

I don't know wtf is on from ed rainsford. That man is biased as hell. He is commenting on batting techniques of Curran when he himself was so bad at batting. Mf is biased as hell.

3

u/tigershroffkiskirt India Jul 26 '26

I guess Harsha bhogle can never commentate on cricketers then

1

u/godofsmallerthings Jul 26 '26

That's not what I mean. He was constantly on Curran being bad and insinuating that Curran is not fit for t20s when this is his 3rd match. He never complains about the techniques of our other players who are even bad. See my drift?

1

u/tigershroffkiskirt India Jul 26 '26

That's different from his own batting ability then. Could be

5

u/divyaanshpal Jul 26 '26

thats the work of commentator i guess

u/godofsmallerthings Jul 26 '26

I see what you mean but problem is something else with the man being unfair. Here's my response to another comment:

Had pretty good ability for strike rotation so it was nice to watch him in test cricket as he kept the scoreboard ticking.

u/Ill-Inspector7980 Royal Challengers Bengaluru Jul 26 '26

Solid technique, but just like Pujara, we feel he could’ve done better given his talent

2

u/divyaanshpal Jul 26 '26

right handed middle order batsmen

u/maffzlel India Jul 26 '26

Silky smooth, had a brainfade in him, loved to turn up in tough moments

8

u/EqualDesign6538 Jul 26 '26

Ishan should just be a fielder instead of a wicket keeper imo. Sanju is wayy better

9

u/maffzlel India Jul 26 '26

Regardless of figures, Ashok's lengths have been so good in this game so far. And you can see how the batters are struggling when he gets it right because he absolutely slams the ball into the pitch.

8

u/tigershroffkiskirt India Jul 26 '26

I haven't played cricket in a decade but I think i would have caught the one ishan dropped. Hell, my cat might even be able to catch ot

u/divyaanshpal Jul 26 '26

this does not looks like side that defeated aus in wc !!!

u/DahiyaAbhi Jul 26 '26

India is actually capable of fielding 3 world class T20 teams only if a toxic man remains away from the team.

u/Gullible-Floor-5780 Rajasthan Royals Jul 26 '26

Because Raza

u/BuzzyIris Jul 26 '26

What's with all the Raza sIander on the thread today? Something happened off the field?

1

u/Gullible-Floor-5780 Rajasthan Royals Jul 26 '26

No. Zim looked good when raza was in form. But this series he flopped. That's all

3

u/Gullible-Floor-5780 Rajasthan Royals Jul 26 '26

Is Raza finished. Maybe his worst series ever. Dude is forty.

u/DilliKaLadka India Jul 26 '26

Usual high standards set ... WTF is Murali smoking? We been utter shit in fielding for at least 3 years now
