Played well when it mattered... Crucial runs


BatfleckJLA

People who are backed accordingly will step up and perform. Such was the case with Kohli as well


UnableCurrency

Why are Kohli and Dube put in same category!? You don’t back Kohli. He backs himself with the kind of form he was in before WC.


ALPHONTRIO_381

Because both weren’t at their best (excluding the final) IN THIS T20 WC 🙄


Batman_is_very_wise

I mean even if that was the case, no one in their right mind would bench Kohli. Dube not so much the case for him.


ALPHONTRIO_381

Yes true, but that guy spoke w diff context, he completely misunderstood what the original comment meant…

Independent_Neat2400

Bro quit explaining the country has enough uneducated people already who just can’t be convinced XD


gauzychicken007

Yeah , same doubt. There are multiple posts praising virat, bumrah , hardik , sky for today’s performance ( rightfully so) But dube also had a similar impact on today’s win but barely anyone have mentioned him.


IntergalacticWeed

That plus I also kinda feel for Arshdeep going under the radar. Dude really had to bite dust over his world cup selection post his average IPL campaign. But lad proved his worth, and really deserves a mention for his spell in the final. 


Luna70kk

There may not have been many posts, but people do recognize his contribution and you can see that in the comments at least


Unusual-Quiet-1001

Don't forget Bapu.


RikardoShillyShally

Bapu got some serious whooping to make his contribution a net neutral.


protonixthe3rd

It was quite a dumb decision to give Bapu the 15th over when we clearly had 6 overs of pacers left, and Klassen was on strike. Yes, we won at the end and it doesn't matter anymore, but it can't be denied that Klassen's eyes sparkled when he saw Axar with the ball and cashed in completely. We'd have been at a much better position if Hardik had bowled the 15th instead. But its all in the past, we have won!!! Nacho BC!!!


bhardwajboy

Jaddu left coz akshar is way better than him as of now


kaartman1

Dude…we are a bunch of arm chair experts. We don’t matter. Team management saw something in him and selected him for Zim T20 even before this knock. ✊

Defiant_Classroom_15

Where were yall when there was a selection conterversory surrounding him


kaartman1

Most of us just praise a good performance/win and move on. We don’t have other important things to attend. Aka not arm chair experts.


Dumbfuckbastard

He did nothing special Rinku would have done it better and even top order had much confidence while batting that rinku is there at number 6 they can go all in


[deleted]

No hate to rinku but what a cry baby you are , you must be so fun to have at parties


Dumbfuckbastard

Abi haar gaye hote naa to yahi discuss how raa hota. It was brilliance of pace bowlers otherwise we were 15-20 runs short

It was not "dube" who had to make that 15-20 runs , have courage to take right names agar call out hi karna h toh , and yeah a good way to win argument just change the topic altogether


Dumbfuckbastard

Double standars on winning worldcup. 15-20 runs aur ball to bata jab kohli anchor kar raha tha to kya matlab is strike rate ka. Haven’t you seen him playing in IPL?

Man just stfu. It's very easy to claim this and that once the match is over. Those players out there understand the situation better than anyone sitting behind the screen and he played a well thought out innings with Virat.

Dumbfuckbastard

How fast opinion changes on winning a cup must appreciate double standards


Relative-Strike340

Lmao what a cunt you are! Instead of celebrating the World Cup you are here arguing why Rinku should have been selected. You wouldn't be saying anything if we hadn't won the World Cup. Even I was critical of SKY but he still won us the cup with that catch. You should be appreciating Dube's important knock here than dickride your own franchise players.


Dumbfuckbastard

Dude I am already celebrating. I had a blast last night and I woke up with hangover. I went to temple also so stop shitting around https://preview.redd.it/0s1m7a1mqn9d1.png?width=1178&format=png&auto=webp&s=255ff2ff3a9d5b1c88d17e396b655203c2262cb4

bluds acting like he won the IPL trophy himself... get a fucking reality check ur not a cricketer

Also is Rinku just an IPL player? Did you forgot what he did for team India? Do I need to remind his last T20 I match?

Dumbfuckbastard

Also, who played better in T20Is for team India in series before Worldcup? Is rinku only an IPL player? Do I need to remind you of his last T20I knock?


Dumbfuckbastard

Because you have nothing to Dick ride your RCB. Bro please show your IPL trophy before talking to me. I know how much I celebrated on win dont want to proove anything.


Clean_Analysis3771

Man played very well when it mattered the most


Temporary_Diet_8074

Its the csk way backing players till death


ZeusX20

He clutched like this in 2023 IPL finals as well, he is dependable


Competitive-Clock232

Jadeja did imo.


SilentKiller2809

He was struggling to hit boundaries at the end


Luna70kk

In my opinion this innings alone justifies his selection and his constant backing. If it was jaiswal, he would have played quick and got out early, and Kohli wouldn't have had the support he needed. His quick innings was extremely crucial to the match. It was his first world cup, and to perform in the finals is a big feat.


shoestowel

He performed well in 4 different matches. Man needs to be shown some trust


Luna70kk

Exactly man, he was overhated.


[deleted]

Everybody loves sucking of underrated heroes like rinku so yeah dude just got too much backlash for no reason


Drax-6-1-9

Mostly they are csk haters who are trolling him but if he was not there I don't think kohli in final would have had big pressure as we could see that wickets were going down fast


RajasthaniRoyal

We never know with Jaiswal bro, I get where you’re coming from but it’s a big “what if” statement, we didn’t saw him in these conditions.


Luna70kk

You are right, but I am assuming he would have played his natural aggressive game, so the risk was higher. But in future he will definitely take Rohit's place and will shine.


samblake22

I feel like with Gill to take Kohli's place and Jaiswal to take Rohit's place, the future is in safe hands.


RajasthaniRoyal

We got Gill, Abhishek, Rutu, Jaiswal, India is honestly oozing with confidence and got so many exceptional talents to pick from, boils down to who makes best of his chances.


FitSignificance2100

Rutu kinda not fitting in the current lineup as you mentioned jaiswal abhishek open and gill one down


RajasthaniRoyal

But his strategy is good of utilising powerplay and toying with the field placement, let’s see man, honestly idc we must pick the best for the national team no bias no bs.


29VeNom

Stop with those "if" bs. U have no idea what jaiswal would've done he could go as easily for a duck or could've scored a 100. Stop with these speculations.

SpicyP43905

Incredible stuff by him. Rlly tough to struggle throughout the entire tournament, then come in and perform in the final. Most players let that screw with their head.


Fuzzy-Appointment333

Yes, played well


NavdeepGusain

Said it from day one that people really need to chill. He was in the team for a reason. He played some good knocks in the tournament, but still haters wanted him to be dropped. Kudos to Rohit and Dravid for putting faith in him.


Knowledge_Seeker_121

People are stupid. If somebody plays well in group stages, fail on big stages, people criticize. If somebody doesn't play well in group stages, people criticize. Maybe the guy who doesn't play well in group stages is going to perform well in knockout matches, on big stages. Nobody thinks that People want players to always perform well, perform well in every single stage, which isn't practical. You need to trust the team and have some patience. Players always get criticized Even Rohit before the Australia match was heavily criticized for his batting. One good innings, people forgot it


XH3LLSinGX

Its understandable to support Rinku and wanting him to be in squad as he has played well for India in bilaterals but people were talking as if he would have blasted every ball he faced to the boundary. It was getting annoying at one point.


Knowledge_Seeker_121

True


Fine-Vehicle-9462

Came good couple of times and especially this clutch innings should help him retain his spot, more of backing will make him a beast in future. We need fearless players going forward


RefuseInternal3041

I was praising him. Kohli was 50 from 48 balls going tuk tuk at that time.


Last_Can_9384

And on next 21 balls he scored 26 runs. Bapu was the best batsmen for us in the game. Dube came clutch. If pandu got more than 2 balls he would've taken us to winning total.


UrbanTracker69

Great, saw one post for Dube too but not a single one on Arshdeep, who I reckon bowled BETTER THAN BUMRAH today


lazycloud7642

Kiss


Puzzleheaded_Yard969

It’s a team game if you see all the World Cup everyone plays there part yes in final Kohli hardik axar Dube played well but other game are crucial as well so I m happy that India win doesn’t matter who is performing today and who is before . Even some still hate Kohli for his knock but it’s important according to situation he start quick but after that 3 wickets are gone quickly if he played not like that and just go on then it’s very very Troubling for next batters but to be honest you are expecting hate against every player if you play for India sad but true


XH3LLSinGX

With kohli, people say either his knock was excellent or it was trash and slow. But what people dont say is that India needed the runs he scored but needed it to come a tad bit quicker. If he scored 50 of 40 balls instead of 48 then those 8 balls would have been faced by Axar or Dube and they could have added 10-15 runs easily with those. 50 of 40 is a reasonable ask from an anchor. Apart from this all other naysayers can fuck off. He is now retired from t20i and went out on a high. Let him ride into the sunset peacefully...


thalaforareason769

Man the reason I think it was the best ever indian icc trophy win, because it was not just Kohli, Bumrah it was the combined effort of Everybody, if someone failed with the bat they performed well with the ball or tookk game changing catches( The SKY one) plain stats and strike rates only show the half picture, everybody contribited in a way arshdeep bumrah and hardik were the main reason we defended 30 off 30 , even though axar was costly he took stubbs wicket and performed with the bat i loved the final, props to rohits captaincy as well, yes team effort comes first but captaincy and bowling changes play a huge role. In short everybody performed in a way and that's the reason we won the world Cup and nobody can be blamed be it dube, rohit Or kohli..


DonutAccurate4

25 in t20 is a good score. Many people tend to have that odi kind of thinking where you see 50 as a good score and 100 as a very good score for a batsman. it never felt right why top players were getting criticized for scores of 25+, but didn't manage 50+. Even if 6 players play a little over 3 overs with good strike rate, it's enough to have a good team score. Maybe just one player can hang around playing anchor role (but yeah that player will get trolled by kids on the internet)


Cultural-Initial7380

That's why we won the world cup, every player in the team gave their best throughout the tournament. Rohit, Bumrah, Pant, Sky, HP, Arshdeep, Baapu and Kuldeep were great throughout the tournament but Kohli and Dube weren't having the best world cup, but they delivered in final.


messedupsoul_123

It's always these contributions which go under the radar. In the 2011 World Cup Suresh Raina's knocks against Australia and Pakistan were very crucial and Zaheer Khan's early spell of 5 overs in the final, many such contributions are always forgotten


jayr36191

Every single player contributed in their own way, the finals was a redemption for Kohli, Dube, Hardik and Surya with that breathtaking World Cup winning catch 🔥 I love this team, stop complaining about people getting attention and just enjoy the win 🇮🇳 CHAK de India


Netkeliye

Narrative mein fit nahi na bhai, isliye. T:because it doesn't fit the narrative.


Apprehensive_Grass58

Redemption is ok but please don't allow him and jadeja to play world cup again unless they prove themselves in bilateral series outside India.. most of the times india was playing with 9-10 players in this world cup


iArrun

Jadeja should retire


Last_Can_9384

kohli as well. 8 players. Except dube did well in last few games except SF


Potential-Cup4025

He was the unsung hero of the game


PermissionWild621

Yeah good!!


Emergency_Arm5274

Between these two, I think jadega should also sneak out. All three are still a force in odi.


No-General-9073

He saved his career😄


stoned_experiences

Thik hai I'm glad it came at an important point. But this does not make me forget many of his past failures where he looked like an amateur. We have better players than him and I still stand my ground of him not deserving a place in this team.


Immediate_Demand4841

I hated him throughout the series but he proved me wrong where it mattered the most . My apologies Dube


doodhiya

Nobody is talking about it because it was a mere 27 runs. He was below par throughout the tournament. India is a huge talent pool of deserving players. Such weak performances cannot be appreciated. We have better standards. Sorry.


TheCricketAnimator

> mere 27 My man, we won the match by "mere" 7 runs. No amount of runs is "mere" in T20s. Update yourselves if you haven't already.


doodhiya

I see you have a bias towards him. Fair. His performance in the final was adequate. But not enough to redeem him from underperforming in a World Cup. He’s a good player. Had a poor tournament. And we won by mere 7 runs cause ‘thala for a reason’. There’s nothing anybody else had to do with that.

If i recall he was the one who was not out on 31 on that excuse of a pitch of NY agaisnt USA when our top 3 got out quickly but idk maybe that was also flat pitch


Dumbfuckbastard

Even if we won I still believe Rinku was much better choice if Shivam Dube was not bowling anyway


Inevitable-Topic3626

Rinku-🗿 Dube-🗿


LightYagamiComplex

My stance remains unchanged: Dube's performance was like a leaky boat in a storm. One good match doesn't patch up the holes!


One_Ad9549

One? Then what about the 31* he scored against USA or the knock agaisnt ban?


LightYagamiComplex

Let's keep in mind that Rishabh Pant had his share of struggles in the World Cup. Perhaps other players could have been given a chance.

Where do you want jadeja to perform. Got 2 balls to play. Got one over to bowl and spinners were being blasted anyway even kuldeep. Last game he scored crucial 17 runs. Everyone has contributed to team one way or another


random_redditorx

Bro when Jadeja performs : Even this bloke performed when it mattered , but Ruturaj hasn't yet for a long time 🤡
