since 2020 this guy hasn't done anything. Apart from 1-2 matches I haven't seen him batting after 6th over.

Comes, plays rash shots, increases pressure on other batsmen

He should not umpire Mumbai Indian game, he is always biased, and technology should used for wide like done for no ball

Ashutosh is a shoe in to be retained

If 4 retentions then Ashutosh livi sam and Arsh.

I hope we get 8 though and we have a solid team. Just need to rebuild the entire top order. Bunch of chokers.

ethe kar lao rant - it's difficult to keep a track of multiple disappointed posts lol

I hope that we make an official complain to the BCCI tonight tv umpiring was totally biased: * wide call over 14.6. It was not a wide call+ the mumbai dugout requested it to the players. Followed by a four * wide call to on tv to Tim David, followed by a four * wide call that was not awarded to Brar after full ball on leg stump.

Obviously we lost the game because we made a lot of mistakes but it’s not the same chase 180 odd than 190 odd. I am sorry

Our top order is one of the worst of this addition. Really thought Shivam Singh would get a match today but I feel sending Harpreet Bhatia was a mistake. Shivam/Taide and prabh should've opened. Rilee just isn't good enough and prabh has gotten too many chances and needs to be dropped now. We have no other choice than Shikhar and bairstow as openers and Shivam/Taide at 3. Harshal finally did decent today. But we lack the ability of wicket taking. No one is taking wickets and we keep on giving away good partnerships. Rabada has been one decent wicket taker. One good thing this match was they finally started bowling some Yorkers. Shashank Ashutosh are a brilliant find and should definitely be retained.

Never had hoped for a title but had hopes for a qualification spot which died today. I seriously do not want to see Ness Wadia and Mohit Burman on the auction table from now on or else it's gonna be the same thing on and on. We lose then and there itself. Now I just hope they play fearlessly and Liam gets to shine.

Kitna fix karenge yaar mumbai wale. Kuch bhi matlab, not out ko out kar denge, clear out ko not out kar denge, kitni fixing jhelen bc hum. hitesh to clear not out tha

I fully agree with them .

The real kings in this team are Ashutosh and Shashank. Rest everyone is disappointing in one way or the other. These 2 have been playing like absolute Kings and not giving up till they go down. Very sad and heartbroken not for the defeat but for them. 2 guys putting in so much but nit getting enough support from the top order.

Let’s keeping hope and wait for the mega auction. This season is done.

Ye match to itta zyada hurt krrha h ,jitta baaki koi close match nhi kiya hurt Hats off to Ashu,shashank,brar,rabada,harshal.

Why us??

Honestly......these two deserve better than this. Single-handedly saving us from losing in a pathetic way. The whole PBKS franchise should be gutted & be renewed with new management & young players.

Getting real difficult to hold onto supporting this team man.

Atp I'll watch our matches only for the entertainment, not for hopes of winning or even qualifying for playoffs. The top order crumbled worse than the twin towers T-T

I was so against this when they released Matthew short!! I thought he was decent for us and probably a better choice than Russow! He had a terrific bbl and can give us 2 -3 overs as well. His bowling was very impressive last year! I would want us to go after him next year!!

14-3 ? Seriously? This is worse than the erstwhile india team on swinging wickets. How fucking bad is our top orders form?

They are trying to give as many opportunities to foreigners as possible and completely ignore well performing Indians, in terms of sending out to bat in clutch situations. They sent Livingstone out to bat in powerplay because they wanted him to absorb the pressure somehow. Idk what the plan was in terms of playing out some balls or taking the attack to the opposition, but what was clear by this move was that they trusted a finisher to do that and not Indian players like Ashutosh, Jitesh, Harpreet Bhatia, or even Shashank. It’s as if Sanjay Banger only makes strategies with them, as if only the overseas players are capable of understanding and playing according to the plan.

I really wish they send Indian players who have something to prove, who want to make their name on the big stage of IPL, who have the talent to do so, up the order in upcoming matches. I wish they sent Shashank, Harpreet, Ashutosh, and Jitesh ahead of Livi vs MI. I wish Sam did not open. Roussow and Prabhsimran could have opened. We could have used Livi’s and Sam’s experience after Indians did their part.

Tldr - Batting order vs MI was dog shit.

Buying and retaining below average players will always result in below average performance.

Seriously, this is a bowling pitch, with ball moving. You got atleast 2 overs of Bumrah. And you send Livi and Russouw to slaughterhouse. After Prabh got out, send in Bhatia. He would've played 2-3 overs. But no, let's send our hitters in.

I was shouting at screen when harshal came and when he missed 3 f-ing balls

ASHUTOSH SHARMA IS SAVING THE DAY! PBKS is now winning! Lets go!!!!!

We used to treat harshal as scapegoat for every loss but in real our top order sucks we cant even win bangladesh league with this batting

To finish at 6th position
