T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

Weak reasoning. Firstly, literally every cricketer performs well if given enough opportunities. Secondly, you didn't refresh my memory at all since his special performance against Punjab is the only one that I remember. Thirdly, most important fact : Bad, inconsistent player.

To label a player a fraud after he has repeatedly pulled his team back from the brink of defeat is either absurd, or you are unaware of the literal meaning of the word.

I literally provided the scoreboards of some of the matches Rahul Tewatia single handedly won and if it does not refresh your memory, I highly doubt, anything will.

I agree that he is inconsistent, when you get 6 to 10 balls a match, you cannot expect any player to smash 4's and 6s every single time. I would argue that, he is not getting the opportunity to bat or bowl as the management is not using his talent wisely.

I respect players like Rinku Singh and Rahul Tewatia who have the ability to change the match dynamics with their solo performances, who are not even established International players yet they remind me of players like Lance Klusener, Michael Bevan, Mike Hussey* who had the ability to take on opponents.

PS: * Added only left handed players, I enjoyed watching the most when I was an avid fan, because they had the ability to take the match till the end and played some memorable innings.

I just wanted to ask a quetion will Vaibhav Suryavanshi be able to perform like this in international matches as well? Will he be able to maintain this strike rate at the international level? Personally I believe he will be the next AB de Villiers maybe even better than him but definitely not worse. I think he is going to break many records in the coming years.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi is able to score freely against international bowlers like Pat Cummins, Rashid Khan, Josh Hazlewood, Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, he should be able to play the same in international cricket.

At a young age, it is really impressive and if he can carry on without any injuries, he will become a great players. He is on a league of its on and yet to be compared to anyone.

Personally, I'd deffo call Maxwell a fraud or should I say biggest fraud in history of IPL. There should be list of 'frauds of IPL' tbh  

You need to remember that Glenn Maxwell has played some incredible match winning innings, 2014 was his best year in the IPL, it is true that he has not lived up to his talent but throwing away words like fraud in a nonchalant way is not the way I see it.  

I have been watching IPL regularly since years, although there was hiatus of couple years in between and I said what I said judging from my memory (didn't check any stats). I accept I could be wrong.

...

Choosing to bowl first, when you have a stellar batting lineup (Travishek, Klassen, Ishan Kishan.etc) is a bad idea. And who are their bowlers apart from Pat Cummins? Eshan Malinga, Sakib Hussain, Praful Hinge and Shivang Kumar. The Sunrisers Hyderabad captain thought that these guys would restrict Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. I still believe that Hyderabad had a better chance, if they had opted to bat first. One thing that is common for both the teams is that their bowling is quite weak. Hyderabad has Cummins, while Rajasthan has Archer. Apart from that their bowling is quite ordinary. 

I mean even Cummins went plenty yesterday with no wicket and I say, SRH had chance even with the chase, had they played sensibly. For RR, Burger is good as well.

Next ABD? He already has his own identity.

He's first of this kind, others are gonna be compared to him and him with nobody else.

I think the match today between SRH and RR would be far better than what I saw yesterday between GT and RCB. GT was way more pathetic in fielding than any other team has been in this IPL season. I am considering the due factor, but what about dropping catches that are so easy to take? It shows these guys, since getting paid so well, are taking the IPL for granted. Look at Rishab Panth, he has been the worst captain and batter, according to me, in this season. Arshdeep Singh, busy with his own blogging, forgot that his primary objective was to bowl. The BCCI should take stern action against these useless, good-for-nothing individuals who are destroying the franchise funds and in the same time destroying the reputation of IPL.

This match is being played between RR or SRH team in which RR team got the opportunity to bat first in which they have made a good score in terms of overs which is 243 score out of which Vaibhav Sooryavanshi played the best innings who has scored 97 runs but unfortunately he missed his century by just three runs. He has played his innings in which he has made a good score target with his hard work. Now SRH team is playing its batting in which they have scored 191 runs so far. Nitish Kumar Reddy from his team has also scored 38 runs and he has lost 9 wickets. He played well but did not show strength in the wickets. They should have batted a little better and they would have been the run scorers. They could have completed it even if they had hit sixes and fours.

In the eliminator of the Indian Premier League Rajasthan Royals did success in their performance.Like every time Rajasthan Royals made a big target on the scoreboard in the eliminator which the Sunrise Hyderabad Kings team could not fulfill although Sunrise Hyderabad was ahead of Rajasthan Royals on the points table but Sunrise Hyderabad Kings Men proved to be very weak in important match and lost to Rajasthan Royals on a large scale.The hard work of the first four batsmen from Rajasthan Royals was heavy on Sunrise Hyderabad Kings Men because the rest of the batsmen were out after scoring only a few runs.Only the opening batsman was able to set a strong target but no batsman from Sunrise Hyderabad Kings Men fought back except for a few batsmen.Jofra Archer bowling was so tough that Sunrise Hyderabad Kings Men gave up their arms for 196 runs.

It's going to be interesting because currently he is just 15 years old and has enough time to prepare for international games.

The IPL and international cricket are completely different platforms. Here, batting-friendly conditions are giving enough support to batsmen, while playing in SENA countries is not always easy for any player. In this season, he has done an impressive job and is currently the top scorer while also having the most sixes.

This will give him good confidence and a boost for the coming years, but for me, the BCCI needs to wait for 2 more years then he could be much stronger and better for international cricket because doing anything in a hurry could not be good.

Vaibhav is a T20 batting prodigy for sure, but it's always silly watching different people overhyped him to the high heavens when he still has a long way to go. Comparing him to legends like ABD, Gayle etc currently is braindead stupidity though only the smart ones understand that.

I respect players like Rinku Singh and Rahul Tewatia who have the ability to change the match dynamics with their solo performances, who are not even established International players yet they remind me of players like Lance Klusener, Michael Bevan, Mike Hussey* who had the ability to take on opponents.

You're comparing Rinku and Tewatia with those legends? Those 3 are in another league and performed in way tougher conditions in multiple formats. Rinku is an average T20 finisher while Tewatia is just shit. Let's agree to disagree.

I'll let you be the smart one. To do stuff he does at age he is is unreal, he deserves all the attention he gets. I just hope he'll get a right guidance (or at least don't foul himself with bad one); and he's gonna (continue to) break records.

Indian woman and England women both are very competitive teams. Great match between these two is underway. England won the toss but put the Indians for the bat first. Openers were dismissed early, at ones it was the moment of tension but Bhatia and Rodrigues both stabilize the game . Provide good foundation for the team. When the match moved  into 13th overs they were crumbled because of tight bowling of the opponents. On the other hand England Women were also highly trained , Lauren Bell bowlers collected 3 wickets did an outstanding job. England is fighting now for their chase. As England also have the ability to put the rivals under pressure, so it might be possible England win the game. However result is still not sure, so we all are waiting for the certain result

We found Sunrises losing in this match despite looking strong, which is their weakness and they should have played well and succeeded which would have made them victorious. Rajasthan Royals gave the target with a lot of hard work and effort in their batting and protected the target with their tough bowling and succeeded. Their victory was due to their good batting. Rajasthan Royals batsmen gave a strong target of 243 and also proved that even in such an important match, they do not play uncontrollably and carelessly, but achieve success. Sunrises batsmen tried to meet the target but they lost by a good margin of 47 runs. But Rajasthan Royals batsmen tried very well and worked hard from all sides and will be victorious.

ABD is great, but people have already started comparing him with Bradman and Viv Richards, though. Yeah, it is too early to compare them with legends of the game, but he is just 15 years old while doing the miracle that is not even possible for international players with tons of experience and in their prime, and the effect he brought with his destruction is that much.

The two teams that played this Eliminator match had a great chance to win this match and move on to the final, but one of the two teams lost and one team lost as much as possible, in which Rajasthan Royals batted first and created a very impressive target, which was 243 runs. The first four players of their team showed some special passion and passion. If you say, about 50 percent plus score of the match was not scored by these four and the next four who came after them, they would have been out for a few runs. A total of eight of their players were out and the team that was playing against them was the Sunrisers Hyderabad team. Their team scored 196 runs in about 19 overs and two ball.If you look at it there were four ball left in which their team needed 47 run which was never supposed to happen. The first thing is that all their players were out in so many overs.  The Rajasthan Royals team got a chance to move forward.

For the eliminator 2, the team that wins the toss needs to bat first because in the first two games of the play-off rounds, we have seen everything how the pitch behaves and what quality we need here. In fact, in the entire tournament, we were analyzing it, but it was the crucial part. Rajasthan Royals are so confident for this game because they recently beat Hyderabad with an excellent run rate, and that was a wonderful win.

Yeah.. Cummins had a bad match, and his team is out of the IPL now. Yashasvi Jaiswal stood like a rock at one end, scoring 29 runs from 29 balls. The other batsmen scored 214 runs from the remaining 91 balls. Royals need to take care of this today. Talking about Nandre Burger, I am glad to see that he had one good match. He has been one of the worst performing overseas players in this season of the IPL. In case Brijesh Sharma can also pull things back a bit, then Rajasthan's chances will get a big boost. But batting is their strength. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has so far scored 680 runs, and today he will be up against Kagiso Rabada, Jason Holder and Mohammed Siraj. BTW, Royals spent ₹11 million for Sooryavanshi, while splurging ₹35 million for Nandre Burger.

I thought England Women would win but my expectations were wrong and India Women won by 38 runs. Although India Women's opening batsmen did not do well but Jemimah Rodrigues and Yastika Bhatia played brilliantly to take the team out of the pressure. Deepti Sharma contributed a bit towards the end as she scored 22 runs off 13 balls. India Women eventually scored 188 runs which was a good target. On the other hand, England Women were restricted to 150 runs and lost the first match at home. Amy Jones scored 67 runs for England Women, apart from that, no other batsman could perform well enough. India Women are leading 1-0 after winning the first match so the next two matches will be challenging for England Women.

Good start from the Indian women nevertheless. Also good to see Jemimah Rodrigues scoring runs. Media always overhypes her (similar to the case of Samson in men's team). But the hype and performance doesn't match. Her knock was significant, as the strike rate was also good. But the worrying aspect for Indian would be that none of the other batters provided support to Rodrigues and Bhatia. BTW, they were up against experienced England bowlers, such as Lauren Bell and Issy Wong. Wong in particular was expensive, going for more than 13 runs per over.

No worries mate, we are not competing and trying to prove each other wrong  . There was a time when I used to watch every single delivery during 80's and 90's, time and age change your perception.

Maxwell is not consistent but he played some blistering innings during 2014. He scored exactly 95 runs 4 times that season, not giving importance to his personal milestone of scoring a century and in 2021, he was RCB's highest run scorer. Furthermore. his fielding and catching ability are extraordinary and 41 IPL wickets is not bad either.

You are definitely not reading what I said. I explicitly stated that I respect players like Rinku and Tewatia, who have the ability to change the matches single handedly.

Those performances reminds me of legends; it does not mean I am comparing them to legends. The most you can see is a functional comparison of the finishing roles rather than anything else.
Adding the post for you to read once again, to understand the difference in interpretation and the intended meaning

I respect players like Rinku Singh and Rahul Tewatia who have the ability to change the match dynamics with their solo performances, who are not even established International players yet they remind me of players like Lance Klusener, Michael Bevan, Mike Hussey* who had the ability to take on opponents.

PS: * Added only left handed players, I enjoyed watching the most when I was an avid fan, because they had the ability to take the match till the end and played some memorable innings.

You are contradicting yourself here. You are clearly comparing them with each other when you stated that you were reminded of those legends which makes zero sense considering Bevan etc were ODI legends who performed under tougher conditions, but that's your opinion.

Rinku is mainly known for his epic fielding these days more than his batting which is why he is an average finisher while Tewatia is a shit player who never deserved so many opportunities in the IPL just like Vijay Shankar etc. Different viewpoints basically.

I think that host nation entirely lost game as their top order batting unit was not able to form any partnerships that would be meaningful enough and were thus left with way too much to do by lower order. Their wicketkeeper batter had been playing really heroic lone hand in historic 67 runs. Nevertheless, it could not adequately get them to huge target in modern limited overs matches. Bowling and fieldwork in high discipline combined with theirs meant that visitors maintained pressure upon them, at very first ball, and attempt to maintain advantage by chase never got on at all. Series is at 1-0 now. I hope England Women will make good comeback to win the next match to tie the series.

It marks the end of Sunrisers Hyderabad here. Wait for single year more to have trophy. Also at the same time I think they need to change their mindset, gameplay and other things. For example, if we analyze it, Pat Cummins, who is the team leader, is a great player and at the same time a wonderful captain, but they need to enhance their bowling skills, otherwise, batting is more than enough too. They need to put more foreign players and big names in their team in bowling; otherwise, they have the greatest batting order but are still facing trouble.
