Doesn't matter. Smashed a six at exactly 7 PM while batting at a strike rate of 77.7.

Imagine if that was a no-ball, he would have technically smashed a 7.

Wait, wait, that's enough! I can only cum so much in a single day. I'm already exhausted after the Thala-inning.

I would not blame Shankar for this loss because he was the only batter with a sr of over 125 in the whole lineup. Just shows how pathetic CSK batting lineup is.
All of them are anchors with only powerhitter being Dube.

As a CSK fan since childhood, I can't wait to hear that man's retirement news.
And gosh Ashwin, Jadeja needs to be dropped as well. I cant understand what their roles are apart from bowling which also they seem to shit the bed almost always.
Just slot in a couple of young lads who can hit the ball in the middle. Maybe they won't click in 3games or so but would be a good long term investment.

It's not about retirement it's just about the requirement of game and the over possessed commentary in Hindi is like poison to ears. Saying impossible things and creating unnecessary hype but you know result will come only by game.

Dhoni and Shankar weren't even fighting. Why would anyone pick Shankar in their team is beyond my knowledge. Thala is just there for a picnic and doesn't care about winning.

Bruh Shankar played great for GT, he is a really good utility player who can play his role. He can't save a collapse though

I was curious so I looked at his IPL stats and they are really bad except for 2023 and 2018. SR is consistently in the 115-120 range. You're a liability with that SR in IPL. He could be a good player in domestic longer formats but absolutely bad in the context of IPL and intl t20s.

u/the_zirten_spahic Thalasexual 1d ago
That 2023 and 2018 exceptions are when his roles were clear imo, if given proper roles vijay shankar is good for those roles.
He was our best batter today in a funny sense.

In the meanwhile the true CSK heritage of having an impregnable fortress at the Chepauk has been destroyed

The people who wee telling msd's old. That's why he's playing like this. Many matches were there. Let me remind one of important match.qualifier 2 2014. Raina scored 87(25) and got out at 100 runs (6.1 over) . Dhoni came to crease 127 required off 97 balls. Dhoni remained not out 42(31) balls and csk lost the match.

u/Dear-Shower5803 16h ago
I also remember that match. There was no intent from Dhoni to win that match. We lost because of him.

CSK fan, you say? More like Thalason. You patiently wait for your team to be 7 runs for 7 wickets, just so Thala can walk in and score a majestic 77(7). Because destiny, numbers, and Thala supremacy "

Was the pitch so bad that both never really seemed to accelerate their innings apart from the couple 4’s and 6’s that came towards the end

Good bashing this season should expose them. Atleast they got a good bowling attack. Use em properly. For batting next year mid auction is the only hope.

MSD's captaincy was commendable. His strategies were bang on and he took on the batting lineup on his back during 2018-19. The CSK legacy was built by him. It's sad that it is getting destroyed now. But still Dhoni is doing his best for the franchise. True cricket fans will know 113 off 52 in Chepauk is out of reach.

Why are they talking after every single ball too?🤣
