*Official* West Indies in India 2019

The man can play it off either foot too and to even short of length balls as Woakes (I think) found out in 2016 when England toured here in the Pune ODI, which was a big chase too.

Just hit a couple of cover drives for 90m sixes in that last over. Amazing shots.

Kohli was super riled up yesterday, did something happen?

Loved how he had kinda struggled to 44 from 35 or something but then once that six over covers brought him to 50 he was just unstoppable. What a ****ing player.

Yes, 44 off 34. Then next 50 runs in 16 balls.

 

[honestbharani]

It was 3 off 9 and then 20 off 20 at different points too. so it is 91 off 41 that stands out to me.

There is something gorgeous about a cover driven six. That Virat shot to finish the match was one for the ages. Herschelle Gibbs' twin sixes of Agarkar 2 decades ago also comes to my mind.

Kuldeep must be main spinner for india in this format

Can't stress it enough. Just see his record in t20Is

Records | Twenty20 Internationals | Bowling records | Best career bowling average | ESPNcricinfo.com

If Kuldeep qualified minimum 500 balls criteria, he would have second best bowling average in t20Is after Rashid Khan who plays a lot with associate nations

Records | Twenty20 Internationals | Bowling records | Best career strike rate | ESPNcricinfo.com

If Kuldeep qualified minimum 500 balls criteria, he would have best bowling strike rate in t20Is next to none.

Yeah he’s been dropped based on the poor IPL and WC he had. Lame.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah.. its not like one of those was a T20 competition...

 

[h_hurricane]

Yeah, not playing Kuldeep does not make any sense. And we have been playing bits and pieces players like Krunal instead of him.

India's team selections in the lead up to the World Cups leave a lot to be desired in the recent past. And then half way through these tournaments, the team management realizes that they don't even have the best group of players.

 

[honestbharani]

I think they have decided it has to be only one out of Kuldeep or Chahal. And Chahal has not yet given a reason to have him dropped.

 

[silentstriker]

Not like Afghanistan is an actually good T20I side or anything, is it? /s

No, they are not. Good for minnows, sure.

Went so flat too. Incredible shot.

Somehow this innings is paralleled to that 2016 one...the intensity was insane. Hayden Walsh Jr. almost got him with a chop-on...when he was still trying to put bat on ball, then that stupid big-mouth trini Pollard took him out of the attack./

Did manjrekar tell harsha bhogle something about not having played the game or something ?

These slogs by Dube are making my eyes bleed.

Dubeious shot selection

 

[vcs]

Connecting a few now.

 

[Malcolm]

Dube slogs like WIndians.

 

[harsh.ag]

Sending Pant ahead of Iyer isn't smart

 

[Daemon]

There isn't an uglier sight in cricket than Pant mistiming one of his slogs while falling over
