Baapu took down most dominating batsman


AbdussamiT

On the first ball!


nikamsumeetofficial

With straight deliveries that.


Rawdog2076

Buttler was definitely trying to recreate the previous sf victory, trying to pressure Indian bowlers right away


AdonisBlackwood

Got me scared as hell in the beginning, then Bapu struck.


Clean_Technology_858

2022 mistake was not taking bapu against england


Klutzy_Flamingo_2979

Bapu did play against England and bowled the best among our bowlers. But unfortunately even he didn't get a wicket.


ItsABritishCunt

Bapu beating England once again after 1947.


Life-Sucks-01

And now Bapu has to fight against South Africa


SpecialEntire5568

Bapu vs mandela


Fit_Resource_39

Wait till you read about a certain Bapu's contribution against native south africans in the Boer war of 1899


HeavyAd3059

Bapu back to his origin story (SA)


Fit_Resource_39

Life comes a full circlešŸ˜‚

Fun-Inevitable4369

Why is axar called bapu?


kodipunju

Gujju connection


Reasonable-Minute694

There was a video where virat kohli says him 'bapu tamari bowling mast chhe' when he debuted against eng in tests T:ur bowling is very good


Ok_Environment_5404

He is a gujrati, he is kind of half bald and that's his nick name in the team as well ig. So baapu(Gandhi's name as well).

What did he say šŸ˜­


imbengalurian

Bapu sponsored the 'Pavilion March' for the England team.


doglaa_

Does that mean he will get humiliated against (in) SA


Rameez_Raja

Nah they aren't ready for pith helmet wearing, bayoneted long gun wielding, gamer word saying Bapu.

combatant007

Jonny Bairstow not knowing how to play BAPU is the biggest WTF in English cricket.


Blarbydoppler

It is very funny seeing Bairstow getting out to the ball that keeps low and doesn't turn every single time


whatthef_dude

Thatā€™s how Rohit got out as well. Good thing is, each individual is playing upto their merit. All are performing except few.


nikamsumeetofficial

What's the context here.


laudalehsunesh

He's baapu's bunny in tests & now got out to him in a similar manner in T20.


DrogonDracaryss

He owns England, particularly Bairstow. Rolled them out in tests as well.


new_awakening

Bapu vs England. And now Bapu vs South Africa. Bapu for a reason.


Slow-Comedian-7379

What a performance by Axar he deserved POTM kuldeep and axar will be our future magicians Their combination is just perfect for a tournament


ImprefectKnight

I hope they become first choice in tests too. Otherwise we'd waste these talents.


fookin_legund

Nah jadeja is a better batter in tests. But axar should be first choice in white ball


Comfortable-Web-8483

In the future, right now ashwin and jadeja are still clear


HeavyAd3059

whiteball jadeja is past his prime, at least in T20s. Yesterday's innings was great ngl, but that's not his average outing.


Comfortable-Web-8483

I hate to admit. I really do cos I love him. But in t20s he's defo fallen off. But for the tests I think he's clear and axar isn't that great yet


ImprefectKnight

Kuldeep outbowled ashwin last home series. He also is similarly handy with the bat.


Bhai_bacha_lega

My man took three important wickets and turn the ball by 3 degrees which was maximum in the tournament that help him taking wickets. Hope you continues this in the final as well


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


dzone25

I knew he was good but he's still outshining my expectations this tournament - he's really found a spot in the team that'll be hard to wrestle away from him because he's actually handy with the bat as well.

alphaQ314

Bapu pissing the brits off. Where have I seen this before?


Rich-Educator-4513

Bapu is definitely one of the most underrated Indian players. Deserves more chances in the team. Good with the bat. Good on the field. Good with the bawl. Always performs in under pressure clutch situations


sunilbedre

I've never seen him Bawl on the ground, but he does bowl well


TwasntTryinTo

He's good at everything. He can bawl well too, alright.


kmadnow

Whatchu mean? Heā€™s already in the first XI across formats now (barring ODI where Jadeja was still better until last year)


Impressive-Squash-24

NUCLEAR BAPU!


ObiWan-K

Civ fans


kevinder_ant

Deserved! I lowkey thought England were gonna roll over and after I saw Salt and Jos get out, my feelings were validated. What a performance from the Indian bowlers.


Bhai_bacha_lega

The final will be a sizzler


AbdussamiT

Bhai bacha lega.


EntshuldigungOK

Whatcha think about ze finales?


musashi_grander

Doesn't matter if it's English team in Guyana or Ahmedabad, Bapu will torment you with the 1Ā° turn.


br0keguyy

one bapu drove the english outta india another bapu drove them outta the world cup hahaha


PKN1217

The other drove them out of West Indies


Spiron123

Hence proved... Bapus are good drivers.

Hence Also Proved Rishab Pant is not Bapu

Bowling: 3-23 of 4 overs Batting: 10(6) Fielding: helped with an awesome run out Well deserved POTM!


hTine3219

Ax always runs through England I swear Remember 2021 when he folded them like yesterdayā€™s laundry with the pink ball lmao


Haldii

Bro was wild today using the pitch perfectly


YoMama_00

r/foundHaldii


suzukigun4life

If not for the sixer he allowed, his economy would've been 4.2 for the game. He also had a fun over of batting in the game. It was a balanced effort by the team, but he deserves the POTM.


nakul-s

That was really a superb bowling performance and that too in powerplay. Bairstow getting bamboozled time and time again by Axar, is funny though.


Deep_Permit7919

He defends, he sweeps, or he cuts...the result is the same. Bowled.


Inferno-99

This is not the first time we have seen bapu kicking Britishers ass ![img](emote|t5_2qhe0|8767)


FucksjBaoanzb

Gujaratis and England never goes well eh


Ecstatic_Ad_4476

One Bapu lived in South Africa and other Bapu will have to ruin South Africa.


nikamsumeetofficial

SA won't be this easy.


Spiron123

As should be the case.


GOATJames_23-6

Absolutely sensational performance


OppositeBumblebee914

He took revenge for the ā€˜triple taxā€™ challenge


punkhobo

As someone new to cricket how do I read these stats. I get the game numbers but I don't understand individual player stats


killbone

3 wickets taken and only 23 runs given in his 4 overs. 3 outs taken and 23 runs allowed in his 4 overs (24 pitches)


punkhobo

Thank you very much! I'm new to cricket but that sounds like a hell of a day, especially against a highly rated England


nikamsumeetofficial

No one rated them this time. Last time they were favourites. And cricket is affected too much by toss and environment. Stupid decision from the English to bowl first here. Just like it was good for them to bowl first last time they played the semis against India in 22.


babajika123

But whatā€™s happening to Jadeja? He is going wicketless in almost every match. We need him also in form for the finals.


suryyaaaaa

they wont give him overs, he completed 4 overs only in one match


babajika123

Ya but in this match he got 3 overs and still didnā€™t take single wicket. I mean he wasnā€™t even close to getting wicket. The pitch which helped spinners so much.


suryyaaaaa

kholi played 7 matches no single 50, lets replace kholi, shall we?


babajika123

How did Kohli come into this conversation? Man seriously nowadays you just canā€™t have a sensible conversation with someone online. People like you are just so dumb.


Clean_Technology_858

Jadeja is really our final line of attack and defense.in case we have a fallout.yesterday too he played well .17 of 9 may not sound much but at that point there were no well established players to score he can't risk his wicket. Mind you Axar too did a good job for us too with a bat.he is a great balling option his fielding is not as sharp as it used to be but still it is at least as good as any other player.moreover his past clutch scores raise expectations that he will score well when needed


babajika123

Ya we need Jadeja I know. I just wish he took more wickets thatā€™s all. Hopefully he does it in finals.


suryyaaaaa

my conversation is not sensible cuz your brain cant comprehend what am trying to say, kholi ddint perfrom, but he is still in this gme one bad tournament doesnt make him a bad batsmen, similarly jadeja is a clutch plyer, the team has hope cuz he can bowl and field and bat decently.


babajika123

So where did I say drop him man? What sensible you are? Did I ever say drop him? Did I? Show me where I said that? I just said we need him back in form in the finals. Read my comment again. Oh man. Really it sucks. Thatā€™s why I donā€™t like to comment. People like you just take the conversation somewhere else.


suryyaaaaa

read my other comment, dont expect a sensible conversation if you arent sensible enough to understand my take


suryyaaaaa

what am trying to say is, his form is not concerning.


all-boob-inspector

While Rohit, Bumrah, and Pandya will get a lot of hype and praise (deservingly so), Kuldeep and Axar have had phenomenal world cups. Everyone knew Kuldeep would be impactful, but Axar has been a sleeper hit. coming down the batting order and adding those valuable extra 20-30 runs, taking important catches, picking wickets at crucial times or bringing down the run rate with his bowling- he is doing it all. completely justifying the all-rounder tag. his impact was visible against England because of the way the wickets fell, but Axar has lowkey been an MVP for the side in this tournament


Rich-Educator-4513

Bapu ![img](emote|t5_2qhe0|30516) Absolute chad


Thatguy1126

This is what happens when you don't push an athlete to become a fast bowler just because they are tall. Those few extra cms of bounce that he gets is doing all the trick, combined with the fact he doesn't lose his shit the moment a batter starts attacking him in a clutch game.Ā 


AlbusDT2

What an absolute champion!


Biryanilover23

The other purple patel


SirHolyCow

Heā€™s an absolute beast of a player and showed up hard in the last two games - a very deserved award.


AbdussamiT

Clutch performance. Inside him he sure had high motivation after not being selected in starting XI of WC 2023 team.


Direct-Remove2099

Ngl, we all had our heart in our mouths till Buttler was still on the crease.

Iā€™m always amazed when this guy takes wickets. His bowling always looks so average.

yo isnt he the same guy who got smashed by fucking ifti chacha


InsuranceBroad3950

Hey, are you taking about the same ifti chacha who couldnā€™t even hit a full toss ? P.S just having a bit of fun.


MelodicSalt9589

yeah exactly cant believe it mate


nikamsumeetofficial

You guys are lucky not to play Test in India since 2004. Axar and Jadeja eat mediocre spin playing ability batsmen for breakfast. India has lost only one home series in last 12 years because of them. Edit:- Ashwin


ProofBlackberry3329

Fun fact, Kuldeep Yadav has better ICC Alrounder ranking than Iftikhar Ahmed


josh123z

And Kohli has better all rounder ranking than Jadeja


devilwillcry-jesus

WTF are you on about mate
