2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup - India (UAE/Oman)

Ok, its been close to 24 hours and as I promised before the game, I wanted to stay away from any types of social media on they day and few hours before and after. First of all congratulations to Pakistan on that thrashing.

Now lets talk about the performances, Rohit is slow to start the tournament and this first ball duck will only give him the oomph he needs. I am sure he will bounce back. KL has been in solid form and cannot blame him, that ball would have dismissed almost any batsman in the world. VIRAT KOHLI the batsman--- this is why you always have him in the side. Some "experts" were questioning his place on this forum and outside on social media based on his recent form. I had mentioned that the name alone is enough to create fear. Rishabh Pant was so good and had he not gotten out, we would have scored 20-30 extra runs. It was because of Kohli and Pant we even reached 150.

On our bowling, Varun, Jaddu and Bumrah were ok in bits and pieces. What made our bowling look more mediocre is Kohli's captaincy (4 overs 4 bowlers) and Bhuvi. HE is so out of sorts he needs to be dropped. Shardul has to come in for Bhuvi/Pandya and Ashwin or Chahar has to come in for Bhuvi/Pandya.

On Pakistan's win, you know what won them the game? Afridi? Babar/Rizwan? NOOOO, the fielding won them the game. When Pakistan have played against India, the fielding has let them down so often. No body is talking about how good and profession Pakistan were on field. Some amazing saves. Afridi's spell was so crucial that it 50% won them the game in the first 5 overs itself. Amazing!

Congratulations to all my Pakistani brothers, the manner of defeat has hurt me and not losing against Pakistan. I feel this rivalry is all hyped up, we all blame our politicians for this! Dirty politics played on both side of borders and 1.5 billion people are deprived from seeing two nations playing against each other.

As expected, the social media is filled with filth and has been utter disgraceful. The abuse thrown at players has been pathetic. I wish we all grow up from this. The thing is that since India Pakistan do not play bi-lateral, we will always play in group stages in WC's and ICC events. So next year again we will get to witness India play Pakistan in the T20 WC. Again we will see both the teams play in 2023 WC. So can we get down with the hype please?

Also I am so happy we lost and that stat is out of the way. No more social media keyboard warriors trolling on you have never won a match against us in ICC events and end of Mauka Mauka, which while it lasted was fun.

I read close to 1.1 billion view the match yesterday.. is that true?

Had no idea that Shahzad was back to the international stage. Might be the last time we get to see this cricket team play internationally potentially, hoping they do some real justice to their unfulfilled potential.
 
I do not think Afghanistan as a cricket team is going anywhere until the entire world puts a sanction on them which would be a real loss to cricket and its fans. Not getting into political things but if they are to get things in order at home, I do not see why cant anyone play against Afghanistan? Scotland getting the control back now.. One more wicket and they can pump the brakes.
 
Read about social media experts, IT cell to be precise threatening Shami and asking him to go to Pakistan, wtf?

Also a few videos of Kashmiri students attacked in Punjab and Chandigarh came across, seriously?
 
I just put my 2 cents here regarding the Pakistan and India match on CT 2017 in context of yesterday's match. Someone said here that CT17 final was a fluke but yesterday match was genuine. Let me remind that some of the fans said clearly that the only chance of Pakistan winning against India in the CT17 Final was to bowl out India for 150 and crawling to the target and chase it. At that time, I among others posted here that Pakistan is roaring like a tiger and we have the feeling that if Pakistan won the toss and bat first then the batsmen will be smashing Indian bowlers all over the Park. Exactly that happened because we somehow knew it was coming.

Pakistan Cricket Team is most dangerous when it is Cornered. Its always better to give Pakistan credit where its due and don't write them off. So CT Final was an all round performance from both batsmen and bowlers. Calling it a fluke is nothing more than a joke itself.

Great warm up match for Pakistan before their big match against New Zealand.

Its what like 5 games straight yall came on these boards pumping your fists and wrote posts of triumph when India won! Now Pakistan have won you’re on speaking about the members being hyped up. Let them enjoy the Pakistani win on these boards, they deserve that much. Yall have blocked and systemically attacked anyone posting the truth about India, including me, hence why I rarely post in this section and the greater forum for that matter. I am out with this one till Pakistan wipe the floor clean with India again. Take care Rahul.
