The batting line-up can't score 60 runs without Russell and Narine but Shreyas had the gall to blame the bowling for their loss. Unbelievable bullshit.
You are not alone.I want to rant too.I don't have any faith from this KKR management. Idk what the inclusion of Harshit Rana brings to the team when you need to win 4 matches in a row. Idk why Varun and Venky didn't play and they are being benched for Harshit and Baba Indrajith. Atleast we have some glimmer of hope from Venky and Varun but they literally got Harshit in. If Umesh is out and your bowling suddenly looks extremely weak, then bring Pat in, you won't die if you don't have an overseas opener in your 11.
The main reason for a really bad season for KKR has to be a really fucked up auction strategy and also let downs from the players on which the team believed on(Venky, Varun Chakrabarty, Pat Cummings, Mavi)
He’s to busy making the pitch a TikTok shoot every time he sees the ball pitched short,maybe it’s coz he seen some of the grass through his peripheral and assumes it’s a green screen. That’s why he dances around
none of LSG too, even Avesh doesn't go for straight up Yorkers in the death but more of slower ones. He can bowl a good Yorker once in a while tho. But they have great Line length™
KKR as a franchise is dead since the 2018 cycle. Need complete overhaul of management. I loved Baz the player but his "aggressive" bs doesn't work for all players. And I cannot believe they played uncapped mfs instead of backing the out of form experienced players to come good. No hopes from them next season either until they make some brave calls. I really hope we get the wooden spoon so they realise just how truly terrible we really are.
That was quick. They were 69/4 after 11 overs. In the next 3.3 overs, they managed to score 32 runs but lost all their remaining wickets in the process.
Man enough of Baz.. it has been 3 very mediocre bad season..under him..and last season we went through the playoffs thanks to good Captaincy by Morgan, crazy spin bowling and the two young guns at the top..other than it has been ultimate mediocre at its best..
KKR doesn't feel right without Morgan tbh. I feel like they should've kept him as a captain one more year till they found someone really suitable for that role after his departure
Baz enjoys having a Leader as the captain of this team, he is a Captain's Coach, if that is the right way to say it. (Pollard for TKR, Morgan for KKR 2020-21)
Quite clearly Shreyas Iyer's style of playing cricket is unlike Baz's coaching style. It's not a fit. This will be damaging to Shreyas Iyer's career. KKR need to bring in a new captain more suited to Baz who like to gamble around and has stomach for it. It's a totally different style of cricket they promote. The gamble mostly averages out and KKr end up at the middle of the table by the end of every season.
in theory yes, but in reality none. if they win rest of their 3 matches with huge margins then they will reach 14 pts with a good NRR; and then matches between other teams should yield favorable outcomes
Seriously how is this not the consistent playing 11. Feels like they can give us wins. How can you trust uncapped randos instead of backing these proven players through a rough patch.
KL's captiancy was really shit in the SA odi series tho. Venky in the middle order on his debut and himself opening when he does so good in the middle order and we really needed him there in the absence of Hardik and Jaddu.
KKR has been hugely disappointing this season. Both Mumbai and Chennai have been mediocre, but you can attribute that to selection errors and, given their history, the fans can be optimistic going forward.
People blaming Baz, but what's his fault here? The powerplay batting was terrible, how does he fix that? Come out to bat himself? Mavi conceded 30 off one over after giving away 20 in the previous 3, that was not predictable.
Do we know what amount of control did Baz have over the player retention and player selection at the auction? Cause if we don't know much about that then we can't comment on it ig.
Experience. They were molded in the harshest conditions, captaining meme teams for many years until they got used to it. They even have solid catchphrases for the loss.
It was Quite evident from some days now that this is going to happen. I think SRH and us should win tomorrow to have 12 points each in 11 marches whereas not only RCB will have to win their last two but their Run rate is pretty fucked too. A win for us is impt. tomorrow against CSK.
And I thought CSK was having a bad season with bad fucking lineup.
S. Iyer ain't going to AUS, it seems
If UT yadav hadn't fired in the beginning KKR would have been 10th.
Its a sad state of affairs when a captain says that the best thing to do is to lose the toss. How F'in clueless are you...
They have to get Venky and Varun in I guess.
#BazOUT
Deep down all KKR fans know that we are the meme team
At what point does
Imagine picking Iyer as captain and thinking you would do well in the season.
KKR had a shit team
Meh. They were up against the best t20 team of all time in the 2020 season
Iyer is a high quality player and a captain no doubt about that.
Whenever I see the points table, It's a relief to see CSK and MI with us at the bottom, will be really happy if RCB joins us too!
CSK and MI can win IPl next season but i am sure KKR won't
They have a legacy bigger than us .so they can match up with that
Even the 101 was bcz of Russell and Narine lmao what a team
Deep down all KKR fans know that we are the real meme team!!!
I haven't followed many matches this season but why aren't KKR playing Venkatesh Iyer?
He forgot batting..so made to sit
The batting line-up can't score 60 runs without Russell and Narine but Shreyas had the gall to blame the bowling for their loss. Unbelievable bullshit.
I really feel Shreyas dont deserve an ounce of criticism except his in and out batting.
Any KKR fans who feel gutted and irritated after this?
You are not alone.I want to rant too.I don't have any faith from this KKR management. Idk what the inclusion of Harshit Rana brings to the team when you need to win 4 matches in a row. Idk why Varun and Venky didn't play and they are being benched for Harshit and Baba Indrajith. Atleast we have some glimmer of hope from Venky and Varun but they literally got Harshit in. If Umesh is out and your bowling suddenly looks extremely weak, then bring Pat in, you won't die if you don't have an overseas opener in your 11.
In the nxt match again they'll field a different combination of a team. Again they'll fail.
Same the management can go fuck itself fucking horrible
Same, I am so angry on management!!!
The main reason for a really bad season for KKR has to be a really fucked up auction strategy and also let downs from the players on which the team believed on(Venky, Varun Chakrabarty, Pat Cummings, Mavi)
They retained Nitish Rana over Rahul Tripathi.
Pat Cummins is an international star, so I guess I can understand the belief.
Yes..it really is infuriating to see them bat like 5 year olds.
yea bro, even Aaron finch is a let down. Shreyas too i think
They shouldn't have let Gill go.
Meanwhile Manchester United down 4-0 against a mid table team. now feeling less sad, lol.
I have a question. I can't understand why Shreyas can't play short balls and why he can't improve it.
I guess improvement always takes time it seems.
He’s to busy making the pitch a TikTok shoot every time he sees the ball pitched short,maybe it’s coz he seen some of the grass through his peripheral and assumes it’s a green screen. That’s why he dances around
Murali Kartik looks like he empties half a bottle of whiskey 4 times a week.
2 bottles a week is alright.
Jatin's jacket is really nice
One peculiar thing anyone noted??
yep. i haven't seen a yorker at all this season. Surprisingly, Mavi came close to a yorker in his 3rd over or smthn.
none of LSG too, even Avesh doesn't go for straight up Yorkers in the death but more of slower ones. He can bowl a good Yorker once in a while tho. But they have great Line length™

it's funny how everyone in this comment is a kkr fan and wishing the worst for their team. u wouldnt see that with a PBKS or a DC.
Though Iam a KKR fan , I want KKR to be thrashed in the remaining matches just so to remind them that we have picked and assembled a shit team.
Great stuff by KL. Proper assessment of their win with some praise for the opposition.
That was quick. They were 69/4 after 11 overs. In the next 3.3 overs, they managed to score 32 runs but lost all their remaining wickets in the process.
last 6.3 overs- 71 runs
KL literally went brrr lmao
Ipl should have some sort of relegation system so managements are more serious about doing good
This. We have enough cities. Have a good 16 teams and do an 8-8.
Top 2 teams on the table are brand new this year.
Yes don't want any more of csk and mi lol
KL has a soothing voice fit for ASMR.
Shreyas' captaincy is not the fault.
who is baz
Kkr lost it at the auction so Baz is the fault.
Can't agree with the second.
1 and 3 are right
Rahane where.
Wait why didn’t Umesh play today?
Injury
Man enough of Baz.. it has been 3 very mediocre bad season..under him..and last season we went through the playoffs thanks to good Captaincy by Morgan, crazy spin bowling and the two young guns at the top..other than it has been ultimate mediocre at its best..
KKR doesn't feel right without Morgan tbh. I feel like they should've kept him as a captain one more year till they found someone really suitable for that role after his departure
I don't follow KKR as much but what happened with Cummins ?? Why did they bench him after his knock against MI ?
Scoring half tons with his bowling
Baz enjoys having a Leader as the captain of this team, he is a Captain's Coach, if that is the right way to say it. (Pollard for TKR, Morgan for KKR 2020-21)
I know he was out of form, but I miss Morgs
Quite clearly Shreyas Iyer's style of playing cricket is unlike Baz's coaching style. It's not a fit. This will be damaging to Shreyas Iyer's career. KKR need to bring in a new captain more suited to Baz who like to gamble around and has stomach for it. It's a totally different style of cricket they promote. The gamble mostly averages out and KKr end up at the middle of the table by the end of every season.
Nah! Baz has to go ig.
BAZ OUT!!! KKR let go of Shubman Gill, because apparently he didn't suit Baz's style!!
I think Baz needs to go
I would say change Baz. I don't understand this aggressive brand of cricket
McCullum IN or McCullum OUT - what fo you think?
OUT. Someone like Gambhir would have been great for us. He knows the franchise very well
Can KKR still qualify??
If they do, it will be an even bigger achievement than last year
in theory yes, but in reality none. if they win rest of their 3 matches with huge margins then they will reach 14 pts with a good NRR; and then matches between other teams should yield favorable outcomes
Nah
KKR every season: Sunil Narine, Andre Russell and Inshallah
Every season since 2018 cycle. Disappointing af.
Iyer is one of the shittiest captains of the game of all time. To think Delhi was resurrected under him tells the importance of Ponting
I feel Shreyas was really a good captain today.. Contained LSGs batting by using narine to take on De kock.
What the actual fuck!!
Both Iyer and Mayank were underwhelming captains for their teams. Not everyone is a captainship material.
scenes if kl lift the trophy. karnataka, delhi and punjab in chaos
Why Karnataka?
Why Delhi in chaos?
Kkr has become the new choke master. Epic choke!
I fail to understand how you see this as a choke.
Bruh are you kidding this wasn't even chole it was one way assault
SG taking electricity money from us and fucking us over
KKR XI next game:
bro why tf do i see mavi there.
Seriously how is this not the consistent playing 11. Feels like they can give us wins. How can you trust uncapped randos instead of backing these proven players through a rough patch.
Yeah atleast better than 21cr in bench. What a clown management
This sub and it's reactionary shit takes.
KL is never a good captain. He has a very good team and a good coach.
KL isn't a good captain. India got crushed by SA in the ODI's under his leadership and even Bangladesh beat SA at their home.
KL's captiancy was really shit in the SA odi series tho. Venky in the middle order on his debut and himself opening when he does so good in the middle order and we really needed him there in the absence of Hardik and Jaddu.
Exactly bro
The 3rd point doesn't stand cuz now Virat's own batting has a lot to do with RCB's failures.
After the previous match with the same lineup, Nitish Rana had said that this is our best XI
Nithish Rana playes two matches every season and talks like he has won the orange cap .
Mohsin 20L, Mavi 7.5Cr
🤡
KKR has been hugely disappointing this season. Both Mumbai and Chennai have been mediocre, but you can attribute that to selection errors and, given their history, the fans can be optimistic going forward.
I mean Gill over Venkatesh was a fucking no brainer.. They literally backed him since start and then retained a guy who played only one good season
Iyer: "I've been really consistent in winning the tosses"
Lucknow team captain kl rahool is a happy man
man this match was boring asf
Apart from that Dre Russ show right?
seeing Rahul smile feels so wrong
Even I don't switch my players as much as KKR do, and I play fucking FIFA CM...
Nice... Iyer complaining about winning to many tosses.
We don’t deserve russel
People blaming Baz, but what's his fault here? The powerplay batting was terrible, how does he fix that? Come out to bat himself? Mavi conceded 30 off one over after giving away 20 in the previous 3, that was not predictable.
Do we know what amount of control did Baz have over the player retention and player selection at the auction? Cause if we don't know much about that then we can't comment on it ig.
The management itself is horrible, they spent 15.25 cr on Rana + Mavi, they could have gotten De Kock, Bhuvi and DK for that price
If the management were in their rightminds..they wouldn't have bought Mavi and Rana for 16 crs.
team selection??
Watched IPL on TV after several years just found out the ads are not as unbearable as hotstar
but how'd you encounter in match ads by the commentators , lol.
Wtf Mohsin 1-6 in 3 overs. Damn
Akash Chopra on Hindi post show actually suggesting good point if team wins by 75+ runs should get extra point for winning team
ha bhai, vo to 100 m six ko adha darjan nahi 1 darjan ki maang karta hai 🤷
Why 75? NRR neutralizes effect of conditions for both teams playing on the day, it’s the best metric imo.
They could take that point from the losing team. I'd love it! Flair won't checkout because CSK always "takes it deep"™
No, horrible suggestion. No one would choose to bowl first then, NRR is fine.
Bash Boost 2.0
That's just nrr but with extra steps
LSG vs RR final incoming.
I don't want the new teams to win it lol
Thank you KKR
Lucknow is virtually guaranteed top 2 with this win.
How? They have their next match against RR I think. If RR beat them, the points r drawn.
Wonder how did we manage to lose against them
Just Cummins miracle. Otherwise you were on track to win.
Cos obviously you have been worse than us this year. :)
Shreyas has been the biggest letdown of this season. Wanted the captaincy, got it but couldn't get the results with his performance.
Tbf if you gave Ricky Ponting that team he would struggle to do much better
Iyer really out here blaming the bowlers huh! He a bigger Dumbass than I imagined
When you had one over of Russell left but you choose to bowl Mavi.
Southee bowled such a good final over
Good days are coming all you need to do is wait
Ham yahan dukhi h ye log match ke baad has rahe h kamine
so is KKR out of the playoffs? Max they can get with points is 14.
Yup out
Gemphir trying to poach Narine into LSG
He might succeed.
Shreyas looks like he is used to lose games
Just lose the toss? But I keep winning them
This was the Gunda of IPL matches. So bad it was good.
laut aao irish thala
Kolkata Clown Riders
Delhi 'Fap'itals
Absolutely shambolic performance really.
There should be a switch in the management entirely.
Who is Baz?
All those riding the Iyer for future India Captain Bandwagon can stop now. Horrible Captaincy and can’t play short balls for shit
Better than the other young lots in captaincy ig.
KL and Kohli clearly better at giving speeches after losing games...
Experience. They were molded in the harshest conditions, captaining meme teams for many years until they got used to it. They even have solid catchphrases for the loss.
i think this would be first time Team reaching 16 points and not having Q mark
nah has happened earlier, usually its not given to the first teams reaching 16 points cuz there are still mathematical scenarios open
So, it just a fight for 4th spot now. Top 3 are pretty much confirmed.
It was Quite evident from some days now that this is going to happen. I think SRH and us should win tomorrow to have 12 points each in 11 marches whereas not only RCB will have to win their last two but their Run rate is pretty fucked too. A win for us is impt. tomorrow against CSK.
What a shocker!
iyer blaming bowlers..
IPL should fine KL for finishing the match early today. Imagine how many ads went unaired because of the early finish.
They deserve that for airing ads in the middle of the over.
KKR just save time for everybody that's a tactical move
KKR look even more garbage than MI and CSK. Team as usual looks in shambles.
Kkr proper a meme team this season
Time for Shreyas Iyer's depression look
He's glowing ..
Things we learnt from KKR this year:
Looks like everyone is praising Russell's haircut and he's trying not to blush.
Y’all did the commentator say “congratulations on your loss”? Edit- it was commisserations 🤦♀️
He said Commisserations. It's one word for "I feel sorry for you".
Commiserations
Commiserations
Excellent from Baz and Leamon triggering collapse to preserve their nrr
LSG almost confirmed in top 2 due to this huuuge NRR boost
Jason Holder mf stop stat padding against tail enders. Cost me 17 rs
S Iyer: this one felt like a win because of how we played /s
KKR should be relegated from IPL
Table toppers should go directly into the finals.
They get 2 chances tho
Just declare them winners already
Big Jase and his last over wickets. 1 hat-trick and 1 pseudo-hat-trick this year
time to shift playoffs to lucknow Ahmedabad
LETS GOOO !!
