A few years back, MSD had said that you should try to qualify for the playoffs and then it's lottery from there on(since T20 can literally be a lottery at times).

Yesterday's game between MI and SRH proved just that, there was so much luck involved in the game. I support SRH because I love to watch a team focussing more on their bowling for a change, but neither team deserved to lose in the end, just brilliant batting and bowling throughout the game, loved it.

Sometimes I wonder how guys like Bairstow and Sehwag can get overweight despite playing cricket at the highest level and following a strict training regimen. I am not talking **** about them, I am just wondering how that is possible. I know thyroid issues can cause weight gain/loss despite following a proper diet and exercise plan(has happened to me), but wonder what else can be the explanation apart from genetics/thyroid.

I know someone will jump in say that they might be having a bad diet, but I assume you should still stay in a decent shape because of how physically demanding the modern game is? And players are much more active now compared to how it was a couple of decades ago.

Bairstow is literally the fastest runner between the wickets in the game (Warner, otherwise). He is an exceptional athlete in the field. He is, what you'd say, 'big boned', but there is literally no fat on him. He's fitter than 99% of cricketers.

jonny b is not fat in that picture tho. his pants seem a bit loose and comfy
Nah, I am not questioning his athletic ability neither do I find his look funny, it was just a thought. Modern cricketers have to go through rigorous training and have a very tough schedule. Was just wondering how it's possible to look like a regular Joe when you are clearly working your ass off to maintain the required fitness standards.

Kohli celebrating the runs he scores off inside edges and dropped catches like he's just pasted the bowler into the stands :laugh:
