@cricroyale@sas_3343@PlayingXI3 Another thing, which I think is more important, is that the other batsmen contributed nothing in both matches. Although I agree that these two were a bit slow initially in the 2019 match
@yogi10war@CricTej And most people miss that he again opened in the 4th ODI of the ENG series in Jan 2013 and made a nice 83, after a horrendous run in 2012. He may not have been picked for the CT had it not been for this innings
@Racket_Report@rogerfederer@DjokerNole Djokovic's one is wrong here. It includes his 2016-18 slump which had multiple early exits (like Wimbledon 2016, AO 2017 etc)
@CricRP0511@crickashish217 Rohit too. Got his first hundred after *3* years. And then a double hundred. Johnson was on fire, but Aus sent him home to prep for ashes just before the last match. Fantastic series. In hindsight, can say it was the inflection point for ODIs becoming high scoring with two balls
@KaricTweet@Big3Tennis Well Federer was 2 points away from victory in their IW 2019 final and had match points in their Madrid 2019 match. And ended up losing both matches.
@Its_Me_Bons@Zwxsh Takes atleast one RG between 2021-23. Might disrupt Djokovic's career triple slam (2021 and 2023 RG titles) and depending on the draw and his form, Nadal's 2022 AO run
@SeemsOver@udit_buch Yes, until the Australia tour in 2014-15, Pujara actually had a significantly better Test record than Kohli. Pujara had a good start to his test career whereas Kohli took some time to settle in before going beast in 2016-19
@kaushiktn@AmitHellboyz143 His batting will suffer and his back will be strained. Test match keeping is more involved than limited overs. Anyway it's all fun and games, who are we to judge these players
@mahajanrohan99@GMAlexColovic Yeah, not implying that it was bad. I only wanted to point out the raw elo difference, which was huge. Vishy crossed 2800 again later and reached 2816 in 2015.
@DeveshsK_ Yeah, these kind of cash awards are good for the first breakthroughs of a player. For someone like Pragg who is established now (though he is young), has a great sponsorship and a big team, it's hard to see how this makes a big difference for him.
@cpfchenz@josemorgado His injury hurt him seriously, otherwise he would have been a serious contender for RG and the hard court slams in the early 2020s
@ragz233@udit_buch This was the last day ODI in India (9 am start). Even the 10.30 am ODIs in 2023 WC don't fully feel day games because it got dark 20-25 overs into the 2nd innings
