Giving away 2 key played specially Angkrish and Harshit or Rinku and Harshit just one year before the mega auction made 0 sense. If it was a straight cash deal or it involved players like Ramandeep I would've been ok with it, also consider the recent injury record or Hardik.
BIG BIG BIG FAILURE ❌
We can’t give KKR a clean chit by blaming MI for asking for two key players. MI has shown with the PBKS deal that they’re perfectly willing to settle for one player too. Perhaps KKR weren’t even willing to part ways with Harshit Rana.
Whatever happened behind closed doors, KKR have failed miserably.
This management is nothing short of a joke. The franchise is being run on autopilot, with absolutely no accountability or direction.
Opening the batting in tests in England and Australia against the swinging red ball, to being the crisis lower order finisher in ODIs under alien conditions, when KL Rahul retires his stats might not do justice to the fact how crucial he has been for Team India over the years.
Our inexperienced bowling attack have stepped up massively in this ODI series but our batting has been so disappointing, I still have no idea why we need Naman Dhir in the ODI team? Yes in T20s he can give couple of overs but to have him in ODIs make no sense.
India win the 2nd ODI by 4 runs (DLS method) thank God to KL Rahul for staying there till the end else we would’ve lost a 135 run chase in an ODI 100%.
We thought he rectified this issue but we’re back to square one, last dismissals in NZ for Shreyas Iyer came of the short ball.
These 130 and 180 odd scores in big 2026 is turning out to be 10 times more entertaining than the 350+ games.
113/7 while chasing 135 cause Kohli failed, last match while chasing 144 we needed a Virat Kohli master class of 74 of 51. It’s almost 2027 and our entire ODI batting line up still depends on the shoulders of Virat Kohli.
Axar Patel dismissed for 7 of 17 balls. He batted like an absolute tail ender on this challenging pitch.
