@ashwinravi99@mukundabhinav Before bringing Abhinav Mukund in CSK must sack the brain-dead people in the camp who won't listen to anyone who makes sense.
@ashwinravi99 If CSK plays Pathirana, Stokes and Overton then only one among Brevis Noor and Akeal can play. I understand you suggest we won't need Brevis in the middle if we have 07:07 and Stokes in the 11. Whom will you prioritise as the spinner? Akeal or Noor?
And this same team didn't go hard for NRR when Urvil Patel literally scored the fastest 50 of the IPL and CSK were in a commanding position to win the match against LSG! 🤦♂️
Dear CSK you dropped this 🧠
CSK after bottling another season because of poor strategy, brainless captaincy, outdated approach, pathetic resource management and criminal injury management.
"Trust the process"
#CSKvsGT#IPL2026
Dropping their only powerplay wicket taker Akeal against an opponent whose openers are their biggest strength.
And trusting Dube to bowl against set Sai and Gill but thinking Akeal won't be useful against them when they're fresh into the crease.
CSK:
@prasannalara
Sir. How many numbers of demerit points will CSK get for breaching the ICC rule and taking the wicket of left handed Abhishek Sharma using left arm spinner Akeal Hosein? Please tell me honestly.
@prasannalara True! Sadly, these days opinions are formed not by facts but by perceptions. The perception that KL Rahul has a bad SR became a joke on the internet. So when people can neither make a good joke nor make a good opinion, they resort to crowd pleasing engagement farming statements.
Victims of Arshdeep singh's racism -
> Repeatedly called tilak varma “andhera”(dark as night), mocked his facial features and joked that he is invisible
> Said Sai Sudharsan was “hard to see” while recording him because of his dark skin tone and mocked his dark lips and face
> Referred to youngster Shakib as “pistol" (a term for darker-skinned people in north) and joked about how he would look like if Srh jersey top was also black like their lower kit
Sad part is that he thinks he's funny and he will never regret doing all this 🥲
@prasannalara Overton was CSK's gamechanger. He dismissed both Inglis and Pant in the same over. But I hope his 19th over which went for 17 runs and his dropped catch of Shabaz doesn't cost the game for CSK.
@prasannalara Exactly. Had Kartik Sharma gotten out trying to show intent like Urvil Patel, CSK wouldn't have been 138-2 in 16 overs.
As there's always room for improvement he can minimise the dot ball percentage.
But still this is such a fine innings by Kartik Sharma!
Rajat Patidar has every right to replace Shivam Dube in the Indian Cricket Team.
Sad that teams are picked based on perceptions and narratives.
They say Shivam Dube is a spin hitter. Rajat Patidar? Much more destructive against both spin and pace.
Sadly yet to play for India!
Rajat Patidar can forget about ever playing for the Indian team again.
The key reasons for that:
1) Suryakumar Yadav will get to go on his own terms in t20i. He is a t20i WC winning captain and a centrally contracted player.
Good luck displacing him right now.
2)Shreyas Iyer will get ahead of him in the pecking order as he is a proven international cricketer of high repute.
3) Young Indian players are ahead of him in the pecking order who can offer 10-15 years of service.
His legacy will be remembered as the captain who delivered RCB their first ever IPL trophy.
