Just watched the highlights for the GT game, and we just played bad cricket overall. Rant.
I was out for the weekend and didn't get a chance to watch the GT game (guess that's good for my mental health) and even from the highlights I could see that we just played bad cricket. Don't think we can blame any single player's performance for this loss.
Firstly, the lineup looked weak on paper and the changes didn't make any sense. It seemed like they were suddenly expecting multiple players to play a different role now. For example, giving 2 overs to Brijesh and Deshpande in powerplay, getting Hetti back when it's quite clear that everyone knows his weakness and choosing a middle order stacked with players who can't play spin (Jurel, Don, Hetti). And that bowling playing 11 didn't make any sense to me.
All the other games that we lost this season, we lost mostly because we played a couple of overs of bad cricket and it was easier to point out individual performances. Which also made me angry at certain players.
But this loss was just sad, reminded me of RR of Steve Smith and Ben stokes.
I don't even have any suggestions or playing 11 for the next 3 games
