( this post is for people who's optimistic, yes I know what Is mean by delusional so no need to call out people who's still optimistic about playoff chances despite the environment and Performance of MI, so kindly leave if u are doomer who spreads negativity )
Today's game , MI vs CSK . Its a game which will decide our fate this season, yes we still have chance for playoffs , heck even top 2 mathematically . Its time to support them to the best , we are born with a word " comeback " we did that alot of times in past coz that's what we are! Doesn't take away anything from this poor season , we can still do it.
We can discuss everything here about this match, what should be done , what's the perfect XI . Just don't be pessimistic, this sub is for comfort zone. Despite everything bad happened , leave that aside . Lets have one copium/hopium injected in our veins and hope they win!
Here's my Hypothetical XI for Today :
Jacks
Ryan
SKY
Tilak ( naman is not a pure Frontline batter , ask every analysts )
Hardik
Naman
Your choice ( idk who can be 7th here so yall do it )
Ghazanfar
Boult
Bumrah
Izhar
Imp : Ashwani
Takeaways :
- remember 2025 squad? Tilak played at between number 3 and 4 , he showed his worth in that position last season. Naman dhir showed good performance in finishing part more than No.3
- Jacks and ryan duo is so much better , jacks can handle spin in early pp overs esp akeal hussein if he bowls.
- Ghazanfar have to bowl 1 over in pp if they have left handed batsmen. Ghazanfar took left handers mostly so he's a kryptonite.
- izhar, Boult and bumrah can finish pp overs, hardik must only bowl in middle and death as he's specialist in it as we saw in last match even in heavy dew.
- one thing that concerns me is about Boult, bro bowls way better in mid and death overs than PP , maybe he should bowl 4 overs in mid and death ? Idk.
- Mid overs (7-15) has to be managed by jacks, Ghazanfar, hardik and even ashwani. ( I miss U SANTA )
So far thats it , let me know ur thoughts about what can be done instead of dwelling in past , it happened sure but we can comeback for sure. Just don't comment pessimistically here , we are in MI sub and we have to support them in this worst times .
Duniya hila denge!💙 go and win it my boys!
And lastly , type 💙 if u still believe in them , type 🏳 if u gave up.
