Wickets Missing

Why are you here

[OldMonkOfCricket @OldMonkOfCric]

Remember this? It was Adam Gilchrist’s last T20I game. Sreesanth bowled a solid bouncer and tried to sledge him, but what Gilchrist said next was absolute gold! 🤣

And please don’t ask why the target was only 75!😭

[OldMonkOfCricket @OldMonkOfCric]

For a second, I thought that was a direct hit from the boundary😭😭

If Shreyas Iyer is made captain, it would be a huge disrespect to players like Bumrah, Axar, Tilak, and Samson, Ishan Kishan who gave everything and played crucial roles in helping India win the World Cup.

You should not bring someone from outside the setup and hand him the captaincy. It is as simple as that.

For the first time in Gautam Gambhir 's tenure, I would be genuinely furious with a decision

[Wickets Hitting @offpacedelivery]

Consider me retired as an Indian cricket fan if Shreyas Iyer is made captain @GautamGambhir.
I really hope you push for Tilak Varma, Gautam

Vaibhav 🗣️ : My game is naturally aggressive, so everyone thinks I just try to hit every ball. But I want to play red-ball cricket as well. My father has always told me that Test cricket is the purest form of the game.

Harbhajan: You’re standing next to greatness itself. Take his blessings, learn from him, and you’ll have a successful career like his.

Vaibhav: I know, sir. In the last two matches, I touched his feet and then scored a lot of runs! 😂🙏

Everyone, including Harbhajan, burst out laughing. 🤣

If owning is an Art, then VIRAT KOHLI is a picasso of it.

Cooked every politician and BCCI member who deliberately changed the venue from Bangalore to Ahmedabad, but they forgot KARMA!

Harsha Bhogle: Well Congrats for the Second Trophy

Jitesh: Sir wait for next year, another trophy will come 🤣

THE KING IS HUMILIATING YOU IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD! 👑🤫

Every single clown who spent the week quoting old stats, screaming "Kohli chokes in finals" where are you hiding your faces right now?!

Wickets collapsing like a house of cards, the pressure suffocating, But Virat Kohli stood like a brick wall. He didn't just survive; he took absolute control and is currently dismantling the entire bowling attack in Ahmedabad!

Imagine shifting the final to the Narendra Modi Stadium thinking it would save you, only for the King to turn your home ground into a personal training net.

He is still out there, ruthlessly finishing the job, and RCB is on the absolute brink of a glorious victory. Keep drafting your hate tweets while he wraps this up.

The King stays King. Rent free. Forever. 🤫🔥

AB de Villiers in the commentary box after RCB's win🎙️

"Waited for so many years. Virat Kohli, you biscuit, Rajat Patidar, the entire team, Andy Flower, the coaching staff, what an unbelievable performance. Back-to-back IPL champions. Dreams have come true. RCB, Ee Sala Cup Namdu!"

[OldMonkOfCricket @OldMonkOfCric]

Krunal Pandya in IPL finals is just something else. People really don't talk enough about how crazy clutch this guy is when a trophy is on the line. He has won four titles now, and what's wild is that he is the only player in history to walk away with two Player of the Match awards in separate finals.

Think back to 2017 when Mumbai Indians were completely down and out in a low-scoring game. He stepped up and smashed a crucial 47 to literally save the match. Then fast forward to 2025 when he completely spun a web with 2 for 17 to help us win first-ever trophy. And just look at tonight's 2026 final against Gt bowling his four overs for just 23 runs and taking a huge wicket at Ahmedabad.

He never gets rattled when the lights are brightest. He isn't the flashiest player out there, but when it is time to win a final, he just gets the job done every single time. An absolute legend for the big nights.

One is out. One is not out.

And somehow both decisions end up favoring Gujarat.

How are fans supposed to understand this? The catch looks similar, the situation looks similar, but the outcome is completely different.

This is exactly when people start asking questions. Not because they want to create controversy, but because there seems to be no consistency in decision-making.

Maybe it's not fixed. Maybe it's just poor officiating. But when the same type of incident keeps producing different results, fans are obviously going to be suspicious.

The biggest problem is not the decision itself, it's the lack of a clear and consistent standard.

At times like these, you genuinely start wondering what the actual rule is.

" Look, RCB got it exactly the way they planned it. That's what happens when you have experienced, high quality bowlers in your attack. Planning is easy, Jatin. Executing those plans under pressure is the hard part.

Even Buttler's dismissal looked like the result of proper homework. They probably studied his batting footage closely. When he steps out, his front foot tends to get too far ahead, and Krunal Pandya spotted that weakness and capitalized on it.

Experienced bowling attack smart bowling attack. Smart plans, smart execution.. "

Virat kohli in IPL Finals

- IPL 2009 FINAL - scored 7(8)
- IPL 2011 FINAL - scored 35(32)
- IPL 2016 FINAL - scored 54(35)
- IPL 2025 FINAL - scored 43(35)

* No need to be overly worried about Kohli. His record in IPL finals has been below average

The real danger man for Gujarat Titans is Rajat Patidar. His wicket will be absolutely crucial. If GT can get him out early, Rashid Khan can take control of the middle overs and put RCB under serious pressure.

For me, this final isn't Kohli vs Gujarat Titans, it's Rajat Patidar vs Gujarat Titans

[OldMonkOfCricket @OldMonkOfCric]

There is nothing more dangerous than a fast bowler with a point to prove😤

When Lee tried to get under his skin, Zaheer didn’t just hold his ground-he snatched the momentum back.Seeing two of the world’s fastest go head-to-head was pure adrenaline,but Zak won the war that day🤯

[Wickets Hitting @offpacedelivery]

Everyone just stand up and appreciate this batting masterclass from Shubman Gill. What an innings.

This is peak Shubman Gill. Exactly the kind of innings he needed to shut down all the outside noise and show the world what he's really capable of. Magnificent. Absolutely gorgeous and a glimpse of greatness 👏👏👏

Name this tall West Indies bowler 💀🔥
99.9% of cricket fans won't guess this correctly 🥶💥

[Wickets Hitting @offpacedelivery]

Mahendra Singh Dhoni wanted a rank turner for the T20 World Cup game against NZ in 2016 and he informed senior BCCI officials about it. Even though it was an ICC tournament, the claim is that BCCI used its influence to make it happen.

A proper spitting cobra of a pitch was prepared, and guess what? New Zealand read it perfectly they dropped their pacers and went in with Sodhi, Nathan McCullum, and Santner. The trio picked up 9 wickets and bundled India out for just 79 while chasing 126.

Hey @grok , Choose one IPL record among this that looks impossible to break.

1: Virat Kohli’s 973 runs in a single season
2: Amit Mishra’s 3 hat-tricks
3: Virat and ABD’ 229-runs partnership
4: Chris Gayle’s 30-ball century

[Wickets Hitting @offpacedelivery]

Shubman Gill led from the front with the bat and then nailed it with his bowling changes. What I loved most was that even after Rabada got taken apart in his first two overs, Gill still had the guts to throw him the third over straight away. Good luck, young man, now go get that trophy
