Rohit walks back and the crowd gives him a standing ovation, but as soon as the next batter comes in, suddenly you can hear boos because it’s Hardik who has just walked in.
Season is almost done, nothing has changed, it started like this, it is ending in a very similar manner.

Rohit now has scored ODI, T20 & Test hundreds in last 6 months.
He will be 37 by the end of next month; a good proportion of the fan base often complains about his fitness.
He has been unfazed and has answered every question thrown at him in the only manner he knows, with his bat
Lets keep our biases aside for a moment and think of a situation where everyone is just waiting for you to fail one last time, you already have 2 consecutive ducks in the series, you lose almost entire batting strength for 20 odd and then you stand up not once, but THRICE!!

Virat has scored 661 runs so far this season compared to last season's 639 runs.

The Virat Kohli storm helped India to chase a big total set by Pakistan. Jamshed and Hafeez played wonderfully well but Virat Kohli had other plans.

If you remove Hardik’s 39(33), rest of the team has scored 195 from 14.3 overs.
In 2014, in that crucial encounter against RR, MI scored 195 in 14.4 overs.
Rest of the team has actually managed to pull off that kind of an innings today.

What DC did with Shaw and RR with Riyan Parag, MI management, please do the same with Ishan Kishan.
Nothing against these players but you have a squad of 23-24. You are probably wasting a talent there, maybe a Jurel or Jitesh is sitting out somewhere.
Please be fair with everyone
Personally, I will never enjoy any Indian player’s downfall (or any human’s for that matter), no matter which colour he wears during the summer.
I just can’t get myself down to such level.
Pakistan hit the same number of sixes as India (2), they also played fewer dots than India despite batting for full 20 overs, but to make up for those dots, they couldn't score those additional fours which India did.
India managed 13 fours in their innings, whereas Pakistan could
So if MI wins with big players, its because “Rohit had team full of stars”.
If MI qualifies with handicapped bowling attack like this year, “But Rohit did absolutely nothing”
Giving credit where it’s due, do we expect a bit too much sometimes??
@AjetAganIpog
Rohit did absolute nothing and sky insanity helped them through playoffs .
But pre tournament you don't expect that insanity ,you would think bowlers have to do their job and that lineup didn't look like one for it.Madhwal was also unexpected
When Tilak Varma stepped up for MI last season, I didn’t expect the management to bring another domestic batter in. I felt one or two domestic fast bowlers would come in.

Rishabh Pant is currently India's highest run scorer in the World Cup, but his keeping has made a significant amount of difference as well.
In run a ball chases, even a couple of byes or a dropped catch can make a huge difference so the margin for error is literally nothing.
Rishabh’s comeback as keeper is heartening to see: T Dilip
In the World Cup, on a challenging New York surface, Pant has been able to bide time, but his wicket-keeping has been super impressive.

Auction is normally half the battle in IPL. With 2 new teams, IPL went from 8 to 10 teams, which meant, on an average the teams were diluted by 25% (2/8) and winning probability went from 12.5% (1/8) to 10% (1/10), basically down by 20% (2.5/12.5)

PSL is useful and so is IPL.
It is all coming down to how you use the leagues. Pakistan have used the PSL excellently and hence it is fetching you the dividends.
Whereas we are still contemplating, unsure about a lot of things and not fully utilising the output IPL generates.
Management is backing Brevis here, there is Vishnu Vinod sitting on the sidelines. Then there is Nehal Wadhera as well.
I am not very convinced about this move
I understand that Rohit is probably close to getting done as a batter/captain and is not performing as per the expectations but this agenda has to stop my friend.

Won’t be surprised if this happens.
If we are looking at SKY as a pure T20 specialist, he will play all the matches irrespective of the opponents.
Moreover, Rohit had SKY as his deputy for 2 years in MI, when Rohit played as impact sub, SKY was even captaining the side.
Hardik
Chris Jordan and Nehal Wadhera. 2 terrible innings and the pitch had enough to take the home side home.
Really hope Tilak Varma is brought in for the next game even if he is 80% ready.
No words on Lord Jordan.
Rohit got the MI captaincy when regular captain Ponting dropped himself because of poor batting form and a decade later, Rohit may just have to do the same.
Ironic !

Quietly sitting in the dugouts but keeping a very close watch on things, coming out on strategic timeouts to guide the young batters because he himself was the master of these mammoth chases.
Thats my big man Kieron Pollard, the batting coach of MI.
An absolute diamond 💎
Just looking at Kartik Tyagi is hurting me right now.
Guy is struggling, has not got any support this season, hardly played, going for runs, catches getting dropped on his bowling. I don’t even see any team mate guiding him, he is just talking to himself.
Economy Delta for bowlers who have bowled 8 or more overs this season.
Eco Delta is the ratio of that player's economy rate to his teammates' Economy rate (not team's economy).
Jasprit Bumrah's Eco delta of 0.536 indicates that for every run conceded per ball by his teammates,
Abhishek used to be more than a part timer in my opinion, I remember him bowling well in u19 World Cup, he has bowled close to 25 overs in 5 innings in that WC. With age, his batting has improved so much that his bowling has taken a back seat.
Abhishek and Tilak should bowl more

Just wanted to thank you all for the constant support, I am truly humbled by your words and really appreciate the support.

If 17th May is the last day for Rohit in that MI jersey, I think the fans need to know this and at least the farewell has to be a proper one.

I am glad Manimaran Siddharth is getting the attention he deserves. We have seen various types of leg spinners but for the SLAs this type is still very rare. Akeal Hossain and Imad Wasim are probably the only two others that come to my mind.

I don’t know why Arjun was removed from the attack after just 1 over when you know swing is his strength. Throughout the season we have seen such questionable calls, it’s becoming a new norm now.
@gurkiratsgill
There has to be a workaround to prevent fake injury substitutes otherwise this is a perfectly valid scenario which desperately needs attention.
SRH would love to have someone like a Ramandeep Singh and MI would gladly take Kartik Tyagi (would walk into their XI). So many players are not getting a chance to play because of poor team balance.
Perhaps IPL should start something like a ‘Transfer Request’ based on criteria ?
Surprised that there is no Kartik Tyagi for SRH even in the impact subs. Could have been there in place of Vivrant Sharma who seems to be a batting all rounder who bowls leg spin. There's Markande in the XI anyway, and if you need a batter to come in, there's Sundar.
@cricketaakash
Thats very true, I remember Hardik clocking 145 clicks yesterday. Such abilities are extremely rare. He is gold. A fully fit Hardik can replace anyone in any team on this planet.

When MI were playing 3rd game of this season, we had lost 12 out of the previous 16 matches. From there, to Qualifier 2.

It does happen from time to time but none of it comes closer to what we see in PL, primarily because IPL is played in a smaller window compared to PL.
But there is still some scope for it
MI do not have any candidate in the Orange cap list but they have as many as 4 batters with 250+ runs & 6 batters, who have contributed more than 10% of the total runs scored by them.
No other team has more than 3 batters with 250+ runs under their belt.
This is some batting unit
Rashid Khan and Yuzi Chahal's numbers for the current IPL season
8 wickets, 94 runs, average of 11.75, strike rate of 9 and economy of 7.83 in 3 innings.
Yes, both have exact same numbers!
#CricketTwitter
So MI have done what was in their control, this was supposed to be an off season for them with two key bowlers missing, but irrespective of what happens next, they finish just 1 point behind the 2nd team on the leaderboard, which is not bad at all.
A season of positives
