1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,640 That's four in a row there is good they're gonna blow next. 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:08,400 In the prodigal son turn, Messiah gets a second. 100. 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,360 In successive in. Their front and romantic style, 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,400 the whole of Bengal are on their feet. 5 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:22,300 The dream has diminished for Carlos Pratwick. 6 00:00:23,140 --> 00:00:24,500 Favourable. Scenes here at the moment. 7 00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:30,660 So welcome to the PCCI podcast. We are recording this to find 8 00:00:30,660 --> 00:00:36,440 out the greatest IPL performances of all time of the 9 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,520 near nearly two decade history of the IPL. 10 00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:48,360 The idea is to do a snake style draft and with me I have Raghav, 11 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:55,240 Vatsal and Assad and we will go in order. 12 00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:00,360 That is Raghav first, Watsal second, Assad third and last me 13 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:05,760 and then reverse again. I thought be useful to start the 14 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,360 episode with a short introduction from Raghav, Watsal 15 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,160 and Assad. Go ahead, Raghav. 16 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,680 Yeah, hi. Yeah. 17 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,960 So my name is Raghav. I've been following the IPL 18 00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:24,160 since day one, really since season one 2000. 19 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,480 And I've been a Delhi fan since still called the Daredevils and 20 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,520 been on that, been on that roller coaster job. 21 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,320 And outside of IPL, I'm I'm a journalist currently in between 22 00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:40,400 jobs, but hopefully not for much longer. 23 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,800 So to start off with oh sorry, which is intros. 24 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,520 Right now, right? Or are we giving? 25 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,360 Updates as well. No, no. 26 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,960 We start. We go to What'sal. 27 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,240 What'sal, go ahead. Hi hello everyone this is Watsal 28 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,880 here. This is my second time being on 29 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:02,440 the board. I've been on IPL fan again since 30 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:07,400 the very beginning and I'm a KKR fan and been to been to a lot of 31 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:12,920 matches and been through all the ups and downs and yeah excited 32 00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:15,080 for the new season as well and excited for the draft. 33 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,880 Assad, you're up. Yeah. 34 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:20,760 Hey. Hi all. 35 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,640 I'm Assad. I've been following IPL since 36 00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:26,880 day one again. Yeah, we are all old. 37 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,320 I was. I was a huge mice fan because of 38 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,040 Sachin when it started, then it passed on to Rohit and then. 39 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,640 But I gave up on my mice for like 4-5 years ago and now I'm 40 00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:40,760 like, I just pick my team every single. 41 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:48,520 So there's no that's that, yeah. So you stop following MI as soon 42 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,760 as they stopped winning? No, no, no. 43 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,600 They won. I think they won the Mudwell 44 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,400 even when they had the Mudwell, yeah. 45 00:02:56,920 --> 00:02:59,120 Yeah, yeah, they did, They did. They did. 46 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,120 Correct, Correct. Well that so I have switched 2K, 47 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,000 KRGTRCB, all these all these teams. 48 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,240 Yeah, yeah. New winners always. 49 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:16,480 I mean for me, I think it was KKRS from day one and I never 50 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,360 stopped telling people that I was there. 51 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:24,320 On day one of the IPL, when Raul Dravid and Shivnaran Chandra 52 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:31,040 Paul walked to score 222, Raul Raj and Jaffer walked into score 53 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:36,640 222 against KKR. So the order of the draft is 54 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,560 simple. We have one pick each and then 55 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,440 it reverses. We'll see how many picks we can 56 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,320 get in and then do maybe honorable mentions and we'll 57 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,480 still have missed out. Probably picks that four of our 58 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:54,840 listeners would have wanted. So the order is first is Raghav, 59 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,080 second is Vatsal, 3rd is a sudden and last is me with two 60 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,440 picks and then reverses and then it's Raghav, 2 picks and then it 61 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,080 reverses back again. So Raghav. 62 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,480 So what we are doing is the greatest IPL performances of all 63 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,800 time. The idea is to find batting 64 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,880 performances, bowling performances, all rounder 65 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,680 performances, and the only kicker that we have in this 66 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,360 draft is that we must all choose at least one batting performance 67 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:23,960 and at least one bowling performance. 68 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:30,160 And the rest is dependent on whatever we like and whichever 69 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,440 innings or whichever bowling performances we've liked. 70 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,280 So first pick is Raghav. Raghav, go ahead. 71 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,600 Yeah, I'd actually like to start off with an all round 72 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,960 performance that I came to mind when I was doing my research in 73 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:52,360 the past day or so. And that is from the mostly 74 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:59,320 forgotten 2016 Delhi season of Sorry, I'll start Again. 75 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,160 So yeah, I want to start off with an with an all round 76 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,320 performance from the mostly forgotten 2016 Delhi season. 77 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:14,680 That is Chris Morris against the Gujarat Lions at the then named 78 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:19,840 Perosa Portla because he's hit an unbeaten 82 of 32 balls and 79 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,400 picked up two wickets for 35 balls. 80 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,000 He was single handedly carrying a very inconsistent and 81 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,480 inexperienced Delhi team on his back and we only ended up losing 82 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,960 that match by one run. But he would have lost by like 83 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,520 55 or 60 if it weren't for his his batting especially. 84 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,360 It was like watching him play golf essentially. 85 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:49,440 Like just teeing off 1 after the other and and almost taking DD 86 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,240 home in what would have been a very unexpected historic. 87 00:06:02,330 --> 00:06:06,330 Yeah, I think this is this is one of those matches, right? 88 00:06:06,330 --> 00:06:11,130 Like where you thought like all the money is lost and everybody 89 00:06:11,130 --> 00:06:16,890 is ready to pack up, go home, and then Chris Morris decides to 90 00:06:16,890 --> 00:06:20,610 show up and, and, and how it was. 91 00:06:20,610 --> 00:06:25,250 It was crazy, especially because everybody before Chris Morris 92 00:06:25,250 --> 00:06:28,720 had struggled so much right from like, I mean, this is the season 93 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,240 where, like, Sanju Samson and Rishabh Pant were playing 94 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,560 together in case people have forgotten. 95 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,520 And yeah, it was great. Anybody else have any memories 96 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,520 of this game like. Before he got the highest bid or 97 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,040 after? No, this is, this is, I think 98 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,040 this is before he got the highest bid, I think. 99 00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:50,520 Yeah. No, it was, it was, it was after 100 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,520 we had sort of paid similar amounts of money on three 101 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:58,880 players which were Chris Morris, Carlos Brathwaite and Pawan 102 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,920 Maki. So the third one was a little 103 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:06,200 bit of a flop show and he contributed to our defeat that 104 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,040 night as well because he didn't scored it like a rattle ball or 105 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,960 less alongside Morris at the crease. 106 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:16,640 Yeah, he was 3 or 4 at the end of it. 107 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,120 All right then. Second pick is Watsal. 108 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,160 Yeah. So for me, my first fake, it 109 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,480 came in a losing cause, but it was an innings that like at that 110 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,840 time, I could not believe that it can be played as well. 111 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,720 It was like Suresh China's 87 against Punjab. 112 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,560 If I remember correctly, Sava got 100 in that game as well. 113 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:48,040 And they posted like something like 210 or something and he 114 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,960 just came out and he smashed the ball everywhere. 115 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,960 And they got I think around 100 in the power play, which I think 116 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,320 that was back in 2014, which is like unheard of back then. 117 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,680 I think for 4550 used to be a good spot in the power play. 118 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,560 So that was just a stunning. Now that just sticks in the 119 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:11,840 memory. Wow, I mean no, I mean you had 120 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,960 already prefaced the entire thing by saying that CSK 121 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,440 eventually lost. But that's the thing I want. 122 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,520 I like telly everybody. I'm like stop hyping and hogs 123 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,160 CSK lost because it's always funny. 124 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,760 To. Tell that to CSK fans. 125 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:33,720 Yeah, I know. But like 226 target, 226 target. 126 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:40,280 And basically, as you said with the Morris thing, that everyone, 127 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:45,200 everyone felt like it's over back then, 2/26 was impossible. 128 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,880 You don't you, you, you give up. Basically you're playing for the 129 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,040 NRA then. And that he just came out and 130 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,000 just totally brought life to the match. 131 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,560 I mean, it's also important to mention, that's been mentioned 132 00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:01,480 many times that we did all this before the advent of the Impact 133 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:02,400 Player. So it was. 134 00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:07,600 An unbelievabilities. Yeah, this is. 135 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,120 Indian cricket total favorite knock Suresh Raina. 136 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,720 Yeah, that's true. That's true. 137 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,800 That's true. So even about I think when Fin 138 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,840 Allen scored this 133 ball, I mean they were. 139 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,840 Bringing Yeah, they were comparing it to this. 140 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:29,240 Suresh Raina. All right, next pick is Asad. 141 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,600 OK. So this is a personal favorite. 142 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:39,600 David Miller Century versus RCB 101 or 38 balls. 143 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,760 This is I think coach dropped a Dolly catch. 144 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,360 He got it on the face and then David just took off and it was 145 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,920 like a single handed effort. They chased down about 190 I 146 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,280 think. And in the 18th they needed 147 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:59,360 about 1120 in the last 10 and they finished it on the 8th. 148 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,600 And we also got the famous quote. 149 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,840 If it's in the V, it's in the P If it's if it's in the art, it's 150 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:10,560 out in the back. And again, like everybody 151 00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:14,280 struggled in that innings, like Mandeep Singh and everybody else 152 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,880 was struggling. So like Miller just just took 153 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,800 off from from somewhere. Yeah. 154 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,880 And of all, no, go ahead, go ahead. 155 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,520 I mean, he ended up scoring like I think 60 or 70% of the runs, 156 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,040 like 101 in like 190 or something. 157 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,800 I was. And of all people, Raja Gopal 158 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,400 Satish was with him. And these are the forgotten 159 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,880 heroes of the IPL. Yeah, we've never heard of him 160 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,920 after that. Yeah. 161 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,040 And I remember he got like few boundaries in the last over 162 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,720 Satish so. He yeah, yeah, he did. 163 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,280 He did eventually, was 150 plus I think if I remember correctly. 164 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,920 He got up to 25 was was so, but it was single handed a print 165 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:08,320 throughout the partnership. Yeah, fairly, fairly short, but 166 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:13,760 diverse IPL career for Rajagopal Satish, played for KKR, played 167 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:20,240 for Punjab Kings and for MI. All right, I have two obvious 168 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,640 picks. Both picks are KKR picks. 169 00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:29,880 Just easy that it can be. It also allows me to pick the 170 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,160 bowling performance and the batting performance. 171 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:37,280 Actually, I'll, I'll pick. OK, let's let's take one. 172 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,880 The first is of course the Brendan McCallum 158. 173 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,200 I mean, there is. There's. 174 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:50,400 Just like he was zero of seven and then he hit 158 alone. 175 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:55,120 And it was crazy. It, it was, it was like I had a 176 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,960 close dear friend of mine with me in the stands at the 177 00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,920 Chinnaswamy. And I think is one of those 178 00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:01,480 general stands. And at that point in time, 179 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,880 Chinnaswamy didn't even have seats in those in, in a lot of 180 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,200 those stands. So you essentially had to sit on 181 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:13,680 the, on, on, on those, on those on the cement and out of like 182 00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:16,800 maybe 3 or 4000 people, we were like 2 KKR fans. 183 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,440 That's all, that's all there was. 184 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:23,560 And, and my, and my abiding memory of that game is that 185 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,520 Jaffer and of course Dravid are walking in and, and the guy next 186 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,680 to me is, is in, in, in chase English Kannada because he 187 00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:34,040 realized I, I don't speak Canada. 188 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,680 He's like 222. They'll score by lunch tomorrow. 189 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,280 I'm like, OK, that, that, that, that puts everything in 190 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,640 perspective. I mean, I mean, it was 191 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,480 everything. I mean, there is. 192 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,040 We have no idea how the IPL would have taken off if it were 193 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,280 not for that innings. I think it was just crazy. 194 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,240 Like everybody was talking about it for the next few days and it 195 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:05,160 was a haze. My second pick is again from 196 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:10,520 that season itself, it is the Shoaib Akhtar 4411 versus the 197 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,240 Delhi Daredevils. I mean we are talking about it 198 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,480 in very strange times that a Pakistani cricketer is featuring 199 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,800 in IPL all time type of a performance. 200 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,640 But Shoaib was box office. I mean you're to hear Shoaib 201 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:30,760 talk about it. Shoaib says at one time sort of 202 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,160 told me not to go short at AB devil years because she AB devil 203 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,320 years now pull by the Chamata, the Shoaib says. 204 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:42,200 But Meri Paz Pinimar Paiaga and then he he naturally has to bowl 205 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,720 a short pitch delivery and gets AV de Villiers out and 206 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,280 eventually he has Shahrukh in his arms and he's like running 207 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:54,080 around the stadium and and and and and of course that that game 208 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:58,680 also at that point in time, KKR used to give a a fired up helmet 209 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,240 as the man of the match prize. So I remember that also being 210 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:07,040 given to Shoaib and I, it was, it was a it was a festival. 211 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,160 So yeah, those are my 2 picks back to Assad. 212 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,960 Yeah. Can I just speak about the 213 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:15,920 Shoaib? Yeah, Yeah, go ahead. 214 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,400 For a while I was, I mean, I was at the ground for that one and 215 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,600 the atmosphere that day was just insane. 216 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,880 I have not. I've been to Eden a few times 217 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,520 and the atmosphere that day was insane. 218 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,840 I am people were people were legit going mad in the stands. 219 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:38,440 They were and the bowling thing, the bowling, the kind of 220 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,280 tension, the kind the because show was a long run upright. 221 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,840 People were just people were yelling from the moment he 222 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,880 started the run up and it was it was just something else. 223 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,560 I've not experienced that even for India games after that, I 224 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,760 was just something else. I was just a unique experience. 225 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:58,320 I believe that day and the entire spell, people were just 226 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,040 constant. They were, they were on their 227 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,680 feet, they weren't sitting down at all. 228 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,880 It was hard for a short person to, you know, catch a good 229 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,440 glimpse of the match. Was a really, really special, 230 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,880 special spell. Yeah, I think, I think one of 231 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:17,400 the things people don't, I mean, you can see it in the highlights 232 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:24,240 that like the 90s and the 90s, especially that Azar innings 233 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,120 where he hit clues, no 455 boundaries. 234 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,640 You can see how raucous the crowd is. 235 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,960 I think Eden, Eden gets gets on a different frenzy. 236 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,960 I mean, and, and it's violent and it's raucous. 237 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,920 It's it's something you should experience if at all you get to 238 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,480 anybody. Yeah, that match. 239 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,320 Was a while and Shaib still recalls that. 240 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,360 Match, you know? Yeah, yeah, all the time. 241 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:54,800 Shahrukh, Shahrukh meri godi Mein. 242 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:59,440 Shahrukh meri godi Mein. OK. 243 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:05,520 So my next pick is Azari Joseph 6 foot 12. 244 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,320 This is in 2019. So I was still supporting him 245 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,960 till till this time. And Azari Joseph I followed his 246 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,960 career from the under 19 World Cup. 247 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,880 So he was of the same batch as Rishab Tan, Tishan, Tishan at 248 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,800 Meyer, all these guys and they won the final W Indies and he 249 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,560 had a big role to play in that. So I was following his career 250 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:33,360 and then MI got him as a replacement for somebody I don't 251 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,280 recall. And he debuted in this match MI 252 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:40,680 versus SRH and MI scored about 13535 ish. 253 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:48,800 And then Alzarri Yusuf, he took six, they would won and he just 254 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,960 kept hitting hard length and sudden batting kept standing up 255 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:54,800 so. I think it's the. 256 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,840 Record for IPL the best 1 performance. 257 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,440 Yeah, yeah, I mean it, it's still top, it's still top 6 foot 258 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,359 12 is still the best bowling figures in in an IPL game. 259 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:15,000 And I mean, everybody was shocked because if you think 260 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:21,359 about it, I mean, it was a very, very able, so to speak, opening 261 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:28,119 Warner Bair store. And then they had the KKR boys 262 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,840 coming in, Manish Pandey and Yusuf Patan also. 263 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:36,600 But eventually when Joseph started, it was it was just 264 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:45,080 carnage. All right, next, next pick is 265 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,840 what? Sell Unless we have more 266 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,680 thoughts on the Alzari Joseph game. 267 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:58,000 I'm going to go with a KKR pick. It's Andre Russell's 48 or 13 268 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,920 balls over there against RCDI. Don't remember the exact balls, 269 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:07,600 but that was in 2019 I believe. That was another incredible. 270 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,240 I mean, you can pick. I can pick like 1000 and still 271 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:12,800 knocks and that that will be my entire pick. 272 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:18,160 But that knock was we, we needed I think 52 of 18 balls or 273 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,240 something like that. And I remember he smashed Chill 274 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,600 everywhere and chill was having a good game, that good game 275 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,600 until then that point and he just smashed him everywhere. 276 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,120 That was that was an insane knock and it will stay with me 277 00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:35,200 forever. That was a fantastic knock on 278 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:42,720 the rest we won like with five balls to spit, 5 balls to. 279 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,200 Spit. Yeah, last over Gil. 280 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,280 Gil was the, Gil was the guy who was taking the single in the 281 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,240 last over. I remember that. 282 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,160 And that happened quite a few times in that season versus SRH 283 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:55,680 also. Yes. 284 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,000 Yes, yes, which is a crazy knock versus Bui that season. 285 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:06,040 But in this game, in the RCB game, I mean, I mean two very, 286 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,600 very clear memories. One is of course, the shock on 287 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:15,400 Virat's face when when all of this was going on and and then 288 00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:21,640 Arman Siraj tries to bowl a beamer, which is head height and 289 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,360 head height full toss goes for a six to long on. 290 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,520 I mean it was crazy. Chris Lynn in fact tweeted how 291 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:34,920 the fuck do you hit a head high full toss to long on That was it 292 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:39,160 was it was just crazy. I mean 2019 Andre Russell was 293 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,600 was different gravy. I think if we ever do a draft of 294 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:48,160 the top performances in a season kind of a thing or the like 295 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,400 major MVP seasons, I think Anderson should. 2019 probably 296 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,880 Trump's a lot of other MVP seasons as well. 297 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,320 Maybe. Maybe the 2024 Narayan? 298 00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:02,640 Comes. That's it. 299 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,120 That's it, yeah. Yeah, and and I remember that 300 00:20:06,120 --> 00:20:08,600 game like RCB in the first innings. 301 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,320 I mean, other match Virat Kohli would have been the match come 302 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,200 with him that day. He was he was he was very slow. 303 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:17,800 He was very slow in the middle overs. 304 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,320 He was just knocking it around. It was AV Devilliers who 305 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,840 basically got them to that high total with his knock. 306 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,400 But that that kind of also sticks out in the Nandi. 307 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,520 Yeah, yeah. I mean, it was it was that it 308 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,840 was that classic with our template, right Where where if 309 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:40,240 he if he got a chance to do the complete acceleration, he he 310 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,840 would have. But even in this innings, if you 311 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,600 think about it, he still scored 84. 312 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:52,040 But you know that it's that famous Harsha to eat. 313 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:58,200 Is it enough that yeah, it's that right? 314 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:08,120 Any any thoughts on Russell or this innings before we move to 315 00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:10,920 Raghav? Raghav has 2 picks before it 316 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:24,340 reverses back to what cell? Raghav, it's your turn. 317 00:21:27,220 --> 00:21:32,160 Yeah, So my first pick was again going all the way back to the 318 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:38,400 beginning, which is Sohail Tanvirs 6 for 14 for Rajasthan. 319 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,720 I from what I remember, it was against CSK in a, in a, in a 320 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,480 regular season game. I might be wrong about the 321 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,360 opposition. So finally enough. 322 00:21:47,360 --> 00:21:49,760 I actually didn't watch that game live, but I didn't watch 323 00:21:50,120 --> 00:21:54,240 I'm watching the highlights as an 11 year old the next day and 324 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,680 just being that was the first, first time that year. 325 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,280 I was like genuinely in awe. And I thought that OK, yeah, 326 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,040 Rajasthan is the real fun front runner. 327 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,280 They're probably going to run away with the with the title. 328 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,200 And that's kind of what ended up happening because that spell in 329 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,240 a way for me sort of typified what are our strategy was that 330 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,440 whole season, mixing up a few like undervalued domestic 331 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:21,360 players and like international players that aside from a Shane 332 00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:26,120 Watson were like good, but not like the big stars like Delhi, 333 00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:32,120 for example, sign Muhammad Asif and and perhaps other teams 334 00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:34,880 would have gone gone for an Umar goal, who was a more prolific 335 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,760 bowler at that time, whereas RR went for a more role player in 336 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,280 Tanveer and it really paid off for them, at least in that game. 337 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,400 So that was one pick. My other pick is now fast 338 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,840 forwarding to the present thing, which is Abhishek's 141 of 55 339 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:59,320 against Punjab, his his domestic team, funnily enough. 340 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:04,400 And and again, that for me then signifies just the evolution of 341 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,600 franchise cricket batting over the course of 17 years. 342 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,960 Yes, people complain about the quality of pitches and sometimes 343 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,440 perhaps whether it's defensive bowling or attacking bowling, 344 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:19,480 what's the right way to go. But I think in light of the kind 345 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,480 of stick he's gotten in this tournament while he's been 346 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:28,840 battling illness is important to remember his his peak that was 347 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:33,160 actually quite recent and I easily his probably his best 348 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,240 knock that perhaps he may never top, but sort of shows the 349 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:44,000 extent of his standings. Yeah, I think that that SRH 350 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,920 season, I mean, because it didn't end up in a title, I 351 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:53,840 think there's a lot of who are around it, but I mean for. 352 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:58,320 The the 141 I believe was in 25 so actually they underperformed 353 00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:59,960 that season. But that one huge century 354 00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:04,560 healing. In general, I mean, it's it's 355 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,120 the approach, right? It's the approach that they like 356 00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:11,600 we're ready to go down this road irrespective of come what may 357 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,840 type of a thing. And when it comes over, it's 358 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:20,640 going to be grand. I think the thing with having 359 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:26,880 Abhishek and Travis head up top is just like the the cough that 360 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,840 you put in in the opposition, right? 361 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:33,840 Like if they if they just stay for like 6 overs or let's say if 362 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,960 they stay for 10, they'll hit 165 or for that matter, right. 363 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,880 Yeah. Any thoughts on on Abhishek? 364 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,840 Yeah, that was that was an insane innings, the hitting that 365 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:53,360 he basically when Abhishek Sharma bats, he just makes the 366 00:24:53,360 --> 00:24:56,520 bowlers look helpless. There are no plans work. 367 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,080 Nothing works for the opposition. 368 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,080 They they just totally look like they don't have any clue what's 369 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:06,080 going on. So he once he he made Travis 370 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,880 Head look slow and that is all that you can say about that 371 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,880 innings. I was just crazy the way he went 372 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,600 about it. And yeah, it was a disappointing 373 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,160 season. They did not live up to their 374 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:17,960 expectation of the building that they had. 375 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:23,960 But that that innings, you know, and that that particular, that 376 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,880 particular day was just there. Then to chase like 245 or 377 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,880 something, I was just crazy. I remember actually she has 378 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,440 played a fantastic now with all in that in that match. 379 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,760 Chase was amazing. He brought I think something 380 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,040 like 80 or something. I was. 381 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:44,720 That was crazy. Assad anything on Abhishek? 382 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,200 Yeah, I don't recall the innings, strangely. 383 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,240 But which is perfect? Which is perfect? 384 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:54,880 This is what the IPL is about. Like I I thought it was in 2024. 385 00:25:55,480 --> 00:26:02,480 Rather immediately corrected me.

Man that that cap drop was 431 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,000 emulated or is still being emulated by people all over the 432 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,960 country. Like, I mean, and it's such like 433 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,280 it's it's a niche reference that even if you do it like in a club 434 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,680 game or a or a tough cricket game, you know that there's only 435 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,440 going to be like two people who get it. 436 00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,480 And when they get it, it's it's that nod from that F1 or 437 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,720 whatever Ford movie that keeps moving. 438 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:05,880 Right. Yeah. 439 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:11,840 Ford versus Ferrari. Like it was, it was iconic, 440 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,640 especially like Pare doing what he did. 441 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:22,360 Also not not to take away the main character energy from Cory 442 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,720 Anderson, who was like, it was, it was massive like. 443 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:31,320 And I mean, nobody, nobody gave them a chance. 444 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:36,160 It was like they they were just it kind of felt like the semi 445 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,640 final that just happened, like everybody did not, no one gave 446 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,760 England a chance and they came out to bat. 447 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,360 They were just going about the business and they were like, OK, 448 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:48,200 TK, let's take the game deep. And then just it's just 449 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,400 happened. And they just totally collapsed 450 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,320 Rajasthan. They just totally collapsed out 451 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:57,200 there. Yeah, completely. 452 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:02,000 I remember watching this game with my family and when they 453 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,880 don't, when the initial requirement, when they don't get 454 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,080 past that. And then the commentators, they 455 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,200 started talking about the boundary rule. 456 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,720 If you get a boundary of the last World, then they go 457 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,760 through. And then so everyone in my 458 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,280 family is like, oh, so so now they're introducing new rules 459 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,560 for MI. And I was like just telling you, 460 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:28,760 no, it's just basic maps. I mean, there is a joke. 461 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,360 So, so what's, and I have been part of a WhatsApp group that's, 462 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,320 I think been there for like more than a decade. 463 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:41,720 And, and, and that group name changes from IPL to an IPL every 464 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:47,720 year and stands for Neeta because because of how random 465 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:52,240 everything, how randomly everything just starts moving to 466 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,080 MI's favour. And I mean, I mean, you, you can 467 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,800 call it NIPL even for the auctions. 468 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,840 I mean considering what all MI can pull off in the auctions, 469 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,560 not just for the IPL but even for the WPL for that matter. 470 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:07,920 Started with the Pollard bit, right? 471 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,640 Yeah. The infamous handshake between 472 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:15,640 him and between. Yeah, the the RCB guy that that 473 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:19,440 was recent, that was recent. But even in the latest auction, 474 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,680 they just casually put the paddle up for QDK and QDK 475 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,480 Chalagya. They have like 2 crores. 476 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,800 QDK is 1,00,00,000 and then QDK is in the form of his life after 477 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:33,200 that like I mean like unretired B hogya, World Cup B Kelia, semi 478 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,680 final B chalagya and it's. Just he looked like, he looked 479 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:42,560 like he looked like someone who someone who last played for five 480 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,920 years ago, like in the last detail for KKR. 481 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,760 Exactly. He looked so done, so done like 482 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,960 so. I mean, all of a sudden he's 483 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,240 back in the South Africa team and he's doing well and 484 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:54,080 everything. I don't know. 485 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,720 No, no, don't worry. This is like a 400 run season at 486 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,200 a strike rate of 170 plus. All of that is happening now. 487 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:07,800 It's just written in the stars. I think I think that was a 488 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,240 fantastic pick. I mean, Corey Anderson to come 489 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:15,560 back to the topic, what a crazy game, What a crazy game. 490 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:19,840 I mean, and and and you know that like I think you you spoke 491 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,280 about, right, that people are like in IA sub fixed hair and 492 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,280 everything. I think there was a there's this 493 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:29,000 small minority of people who didn't watch the game who who 494 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:33,760 were like in a year and they slept off and and their sadness 495 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,920 of having not watched it live also was was very valuable the 496 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,920 next day because this happened and then you had to tell them in 497 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,800 inglorious detail. He dragged up my cap picker and 498 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:47,560 all of that. So it's good fun, Assad. 499 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,480 Yeah, Go ahead, Watson. Hey like people generally stop 500 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,800 watching IPL for a couple of seasons after that in my case. 501 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,040 Like seriously, there were there were people like ITK. 502 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,360 It happens. Shit can happen on a cricket 503 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,840 field, not everything has to be planned. 504 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:12,679 It was, it was crazy. Yeah, Asad, your pick is up 505 00:34:12,679 --> 00:34:15,159 next. Yeah. 506 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,320 So before my pick on the topic of match ka Mujrim. 507 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,400 So I was just checking the scorecard for the Miller match. 508 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:27,800 David Miller and Cheteshwar Pujara has opened for RCB. 509 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:33,679 He scored 48151 and we had Kohli has scored 14114 and then end up 510 00:34:33,679 --> 00:34:38,120 in 190. Yeah. 511 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:42,679 And that that was a very, very strange pick, first of all. 512 00:34:42,679 --> 00:34:46,120 And then for Cheteshwar to do what Cheteshwar did there. 513 00:34:46,639 --> 00:34:49,639 And you still had people, right? You, you still had people who 514 00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:53,280 are like in Naina Iska Liste record bought a chair, Tum 515 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:54,520 dekhna. Yeah, IPL maybe take. 516 00:34:55,520 --> 00:35:00,720 And like you could not argue. It's like, it's like it's always 517 00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:04,080 somebody who's who has like a little more respect than you, 518 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:05,680 who's speaking to you about this. 519 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:07,760 So you can't even counter as much. 520 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,560 Because I remember a lot of old, old, old folks would tell. 521 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:19,480 And the same folks and the same folks were very happy when our 522 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:24,920 man and Srinivasan gave Pujara 50,00,000 in one of the upcoming 523 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:30,720 seasons after that. And also, Ash's legend Michael 524 00:35:30,720 --> 00:35:34,720 Neeson has paid for Kings 11, and he's conceited 62 of four of 525 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:39,040 us. Yeah, man, it was what I back in 526 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:43,600 2013. Crazy, right? 527 00:35:43,720 --> 00:35:47,680 Next pick is Assad. My next pick is Yusuf. 528 00:35:48,240 --> 00:35:51,320 Just on this point, as pointing goes Punjab before that is the 529 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,040 only way Nisa can get into an IT team. 530 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,200 No, no. But I think David has. 531 00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,800 He was there. Oh, OK, OK, that makes sense. 532 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,760 Or might have been Moody also. Nah, Moody was later. 533 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,200 So David has, he was the captain, so he's probably, 534 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:12,040 that's why. Darren Lehman was the coach for 535 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,440 the 2013 season. So that makes sense. 536 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:23,440 OK, so my next pick is the almost impossible chase by 537 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:29,280 Youssef Pathan back in 2020. 1000 of 37 balls. 538 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,160 I think he was one of the fastest centuries. 539 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:36,080 I think he played these kind of winnings, like two or three of 540 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:41,120 these in that time period just before the 2011 World Cup and in 541 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,440 Audi, especially one versus South Africa, where they lost 542 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:45,920 and one versus New Zealand where they won. 543 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,440 And then this. So this IPL game, MI scored 544 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,880 about 2:10 and they were completely out of the game, but 545 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,400 Yusuf Patan just kept hitting sixes and they ended up losing 546 00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,640 very four runs. So it was one of those tragic 547 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:08,320 heroes. I mean, that season Baton had 548 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:13,320 quite a few crazy, crazy things that he was doing even in the 549 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:17,040 finals, right? Even in the finals is like what, 550 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:24,880 3 wickets under 50? So, yeah, I mean, there was 551 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:30,640 suddenly a lot more hope from Yusuf than Irfan for a for, for 552 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:35,040 that brief period of time, including those Sri Lanka, 553 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:40,760 sorry, the the game in Bangalore versus New Zealand and that 554 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,080 crazy century in South Africa as well. 555 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,400 That that was his. I think that was best thing. 556 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:57,400 So I think that was the year. All right, I have two picks and 557 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:09,920 I will I will actually go to May 22, 2009. 558 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,880 This is Beckon Chargers versus DC. 559 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:20,760 This is the first semi final in the 2009 series where Adam 560 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:26,080 Gilchrist scores 85 of 33. I mean, what a crazy knock, what 561 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:31,520 a crazy game. And and he completely demolished 562 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:36,320 that bowling attack. I mean, for him to score 85 of 563 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:43,440 35, I think eventually and and everybody else except for Andrew 564 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,160 Simon's struggling, everybody else was struggling. 565 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:50,520 Like there's other Bilakia who scored 10 of 20 in that game. 566 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,920 There's Tirumala Sethi, Suman, again, niche IPL name 24 of 25 567 00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:03,440 and even the row from Roku, Rohit Sharma 5 of 11 while 568 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:07,080 closing out the game. So I mean, there was just just 569 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:08,760 insane hitting that was going on. 570 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:12,400 Duck Manus was there, Pradeep Sangwan was there and and like 571 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,760 everybody went for it except for Amit Mishra, who actually had a 572 00:39:17,720 --> 00:39:21,440 good game and and he took Savak down as well for like 20-5 runs 573 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,440 in one over. It was crazy. 574 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,480 Yeah. So that's my first pick and I 575 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:37,200 have a second pick as well, which is alright. 576 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,840 I'll, I'll, I mean, we shouldn't forget this. 577 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:50,880 So I will go for Chiron Pollard's 87 of 34 versus the 578 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:55,280 CSK. This is in the 2021 season. 579 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,840 I know they're like insane knocks that Paula Pollard has, 580 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:04,400 but this one was special because it was it was really, really mad 581 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:11,720 because 218 plays 219 and this game had quite a few knocks. 582 00:40:11,720 --> 00:40:15,040 This game had Ambati Rayudu 72 of 27. 583 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:19,360 Lest we forget and then am I would like. 584 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:24,560 Just ambling along till Pollard came and absolutely smashed it. 585 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:28,440 Not to even forget that he also had two wickets for 12 runs in 586 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:33,840 in his two overs that he bowled. So yeah, those are my 2 picks 587 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:38,000 back to us. Unless like you have thoughts. 588 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:42,440 I mean, we, we should spend some time on on Karen Bonhart, the 589 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,440 the IPL legend that he is. Yeah. 590 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:51,520 I mean, I would say that barring the 2 W Indians that we had in 591 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:58,360 take care, I think Pollard is Pollard is the other MVP that I 592 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:03,160 feel is produced. He I wouldn't say as a bowler he 593 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:07,200 was not like as effective or he had good performances, but he 594 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:08,880 did not have legendary performances. 595 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:14,480 But as a batter he was just something else and from his 596 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:19,160 consistency from the first season to till eventually till 597 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,640 when he did play was just incredible. 598 00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:30,760 Karen Pollard was amazing. B2 was the MVP I think. 599 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:37,960 Yeah, I mean, you are right. But like, aesthetically, I would 600 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:43,080 say that Karen was just for me. I mean, Bravo, yeah, he did. 601 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:47,720 He did do well. But for me, I would not include 602 00:41:47,720 --> 00:41:49,720 him in the top three. For me, he would be the top 603 00:41:49,720 --> 00:41:50,920 three and Bravo would get close for Yeah. 604 00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:56,440 Pollard is still playing I think. 605 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,760 Yeah, yeah, he's he's he's also in the coaching staff and he 606 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,440 plays for MI in some tournaments. 607 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,680 I think he plays in the Dubai, Dubai World. 608 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,400 Yeah, IT 20. Yeah, I. 609 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,760 Think got him in that final. That desert pack was final. 610 00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,120 Correct, Correct. Yeah, yeah. 611 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,760 And of course for Gilchrist, I mean, what can you say? 612 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:26,480 He was he, he was bit ahead of his time, like he was someone 613 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:31,360 who should have like like a child of the I think if he had 614 00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:35,080 come like 10 years later, if he had something, he would have 615 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:40,960 been, he would have, they earned more money and he should be and 616 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:44,960 he would have been, I think appreciated more for his talent. 617 00:42:45,240 --> 00:42:48,200 I guess he was in a way, but he had a great Test career. 618 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:56,400 But I recently, I recently was like had the misfortune of 619 00:42:56,400 --> 00:43:00,880 playing cricket with some 2021 year olds and, and they were, 620 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:07,160 they, they showed me a reel where it was written that 621 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,560 Gilchrist was the original Abhishek Sharma. 622 00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:14,520 So I was like, he oh God, like, how do I explain? 623 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:18,280 Like what was Gilchrist and, and, and what Gilchrist used to 624 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:23,760 do especially like all our lives, like, and, and there's no 625 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:28,480 way to explain the gravity of the of, of Gilchrist importance, 626 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,840 at least in world cricket at that point in time, right. 627 00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:35,120 And, and it was this innings that they were showing he, he is 628 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,480 the OG Abhishek Sharma. Like okay, like okay. 629 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:44,640 I mean, one reason I feel guilt is not like as revered in India 630 00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,480 is because probably his record versus India isn't that great 631 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:49,480 that I mean it's just a side note. 632 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:53,720 His record versus India is OK. She used to smash England more, 633 00:43:53,720 --> 00:43:58,080 I feel, or Sri Lanka, maybe those two, those two teams. 634 00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,840 Yeah, and and and and. Indians famously don't watch 635 00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:02,720 other series. Though other movies. 636 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:06,640 Exactly. And and the other and the other 637 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,520 important fact, India never lost a game on Star Sports. 638 00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,120 So that's another. That's true, yeah, Yeah. 639 00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,600 It's OK, it's OK, let let the lockdown kids have their fun 640 00:44:17,240 --> 00:44:25,800 while they last. Yeah, I think the next pick is 641 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:30,440 Assads. OK. 642 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:37,040 I'm confused, but I'm going stock in the final versus SRH. 643 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:47,640 That, that was my, that was my, that was my pick if I had not 644 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:51,520 picked Pollard, but I just needed Pollard to be in, in the, 645 00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:55,760 in the pick. So, like, take care, yeah. 646 00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:02,520 So basically start the stencil and kill 320 cricket 3.0 in the 647 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:07,000 finals. That ball to start is something 648 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,880 else. I it cannot I cannot forget it. 649 00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,880 It was just insane how that works like this. 650 00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:18,600 He's he's got something about the James wins one. 651 00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:23,160 I was I was just extraordinary. The one to Alice to cook as well 652 00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:27,040 was also very good. But that ball, the way it went 653 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:31,560 late, I mean, and he's a huge fan of spin bowling, so I'm 654 00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,000 pretty sure that he must have enjoyed it as well. 655 00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:41,000 I mean, I was, I was at Chiphawk for that final and I'd I'd 656 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:45,600 gotten the tickets somewhere on on, on cover or point. 657 00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:50,560 So and and and and and then start bowl that ball. 658 00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:54,800 You could see Abhishek squaring up from the square on angle as 659 00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,040 well. And then the bales light up and, 660 00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:03,160 and like, and because that crowd didn't have like there was no 661 00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:08,000 CSK game that day per SE. So everybody was like, wow, 662 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,280 that's a great wicket. And and everybody cheered on. 663 00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:13,360 And and yeah, I think, I think that killed everything. 664 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:18,120 But why I wanted to select this also was the fact that this 665 00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:23,040 ensured that we have the great Gautam Gambhir as the BCCI 666 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,480 coach. Because what happened post the 667 00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:32,160 game is that they wanted to set up a stage with with video on 668 00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:36,800 the stage and that was failing miserably for about an hour, 669 00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,600 hour and a half. So the, so if you, if you 670 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,040 remember, the presentation ceremony happens like an hour, 671 00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:46,080 hour and a half later, during which time for like about 90 672 00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:50,200 minutes, there is one guy running behind another guy. 673 00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:53,280 And, and that guy is Jaisha who's running behind Gautam 674 00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,160 Gambhir. All through that, all through 675 00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:58,240 those 90 minutes, it's like Gambhir is not going to get even 676 00:46:58,240 --> 00:47:01,040 one minute free to celebrate this IPL win. 677 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,000 And I was, it was, it was really crazy. 678 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:07,880 I'm so glad that it happened. So thank you to Mitchell Stark 679 00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:12,600 for it. And he didn't have a good season 680 00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,280 throughout. Oh, it was a terrible season up 681 00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:21,320 until up until the up until the qualifier and only one game in 682 00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,040 that season before that was good. 683 00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:26,440 Was the game where was the game versus MI? 684 00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:27,800 Correct. Was the game versus MI? 685 00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:33,320 He got Tim David and then he got Gerald Kudzia and Piyush Chawla 686 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:37,200 after which of course the both the knockout games he was the 687 00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:43,080 player of the match. Yep, fantastic pick. 688 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:47,240 Next is Watsal and then we close it out with the final pick from 689 00:47:47,240 --> 00:47:54,480 Raghav. OK, so my next pick will be Jaws 690 00:47:54,480 --> 00:48:00,680 Butler in that game where they they they chase 260, he scored I 691 00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,360 think 107 or 800. And seven. 692 00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:08,680 Yeah, 107. I wanted to go to that game, but 693 00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:10,880 unfortunately I couldn't make it last minute. 694 00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,680 But what an insane innings that was. 695 00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:17,680 Again, I was so happy when KKR had scored 260. 696 00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:21,320 I was like, OK, there's another. 124 having a great season he was 697 00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:29,320 not 26260 was the K XI No No 260 was the Kings 11 Punjab game. 698 00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:35,000 OK, OK, OK, so maybe OK 23240 whatever and he. 699 00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:36,600 He just. He just. 700 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:42,040 OK, he just went on a rampage. He just went on a rampage. 701 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:47,160 He I'm like Eden has seen some special notes, but that was just 702 00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:52,640 chances. He was, he was just, he was 703 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:56,720 doing as he pleases. And to see the to see the, I 704 00:48:56,720 --> 00:49:00,200 guess information from what he looks like now, it's just like 705 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:01,760 he looks like a shadow of himself right now. 706 00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,560 But that innings and that season from him was just insane. 707 00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:10,080 So I definitely felt that one Butler inning should definitely 708 00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,880 be here. Yeah. 709 00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:18,360 And like the guy was at the game and, and one of the one of the 710 00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:22,520 best memories of that game is that like it was not greeted 711 00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:25,720 with silence. Like there was silence, of 712 00:49:25,720 --> 00:49:28,200 course, but like people were in awe. 713 00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,520 People were like, what is happening? 714 00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:34,280 Because throughout the throughout that innings, there 715 00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:36,840 were other people who were trying to take off some load 716 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,240 from Butler. But eventually it had come down 717 00:49:39,240 --> 00:49:44,120 to the last 35 runs. He scored pretty much all of 718 00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:47,120 them. And and he was cramping at the 719 00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:50,200 end of it. There was like on one leg and 720 00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:52,960 and and then he took down Varun in the final over, denied 721 00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:54,760 singles. He's like, no, I'm going to hit 722 00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:56,880 a six. All those reels that we get of 723 00:49:57,240 --> 00:49:59,360 Hardik Pandya, right? No, guys, I've got it. 724 00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:00,800 I'll defend one ball, I'll hit a six. 725 00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,840 I mean that, that that all that had happened in that game. 726 00:50:04,240 --> 00:50:08,760 And very easy to forget that Narayan actually scored 100 in 727 00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:10,840 that game as well. Narayan scored 100. 728 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:14,160 Yes, yes he did. And his over was the most 729 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:16,520 important one. I was not Butler who took 730 00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,200 Narayan down. It is actually Robin Paul who's 731 00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:22,160 now at KKR again. So it's very crazy. 732 00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:26,400 I have fantastic in India. Glad you mentioned. 733 00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:32,520 So final pick is with Raghav before and we can do honorable 734 00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:42,000 mentions and take it up. I've forgotten, as did anyone 735 00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:45,600 actually pick Akash Madhwal? Otherwise, I'd like to play. 736 00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:53,960 Yeah, Akash Madhwal 55 for five for MI against NSG in the 2023 737 00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:57,920 Eliminator. I think the American sports fans 738 00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:01,360 love to bring up clutch. Clutch knocks, clutch 739 00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,480 performances. I don't even get some more 740 00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:08,960 clutch than that. And it's also again, this is 741 00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:13,920 sort of why I think leagues like IPL who do so well when it's 742 00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:17,120 like a player that doesn't have like a massive fan base or 743 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:20,320 little someone who's talked about in the offseason as much 744 00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:25,040 and he just doesn't have the Passover's versatile skill sets. 745 00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:28,640 But in a specific role with the new ball, he can do some real 746 00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:32,480 damage, which is what he did in that, in that eliminator and 747 00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,280 just completely the molest and LSD attack. 748 00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:39,200 That LSD batting lineup that perhaps people would have 749 00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:42,000 favoured because that because that MI team was in that season, 750 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:45,080 was quite disjointed on paper and still managed to finish 751 00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:49,160 third thanks to mostly thanks to Madhwal's spell appeal. 752 00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,360 Yeah, I think, I think, I mean, since you spoke about American 753 00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:57,320 sport, I think one of the things that people are very easy to 754 00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,920 forget that what am I do at the auction table is of course, I 755 00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:04,320 mean, fishy. But what they do in games is 756 00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:08,200 absolutely crazy. Like, I mean, they have Jayant 757 00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:12,880 Yadav for Four Seasons on end just to bowl one over to Shikhar 758 00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,440 Dhawan. They'll have these players who 759 00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,160 come in for specific roles for specific seasons. 760 00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,880 They're always on the hunt for that one left arm seamer always 761 00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:24,720 like be a Jason Bandra, be a trend bold. 762 00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:28,000 I mean, the list is endless. I mean, and he will look good 763 00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,400 this year. Mitch, Mitch Mclenagan. 764 00:52:31,720 --> 00:52:34,960 Mitch Mclenagan I mean both at least legendary like season 765 00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:36,160 reason. Jeeta Webber. 766 00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:43,720 I'm like types and and. Mitch Johnson had a winning. 767 00:52:44,240 --> 00:52:45,640 Season, of course. Both, both. 768 00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:47,920 Both of them. And we have one question for 769 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:49,920 you. I have one question for you and 770 00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,720 we have one question for you. Yes, one question for you. 771 00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,400 Who? Which specific better did they 772 00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:57,800 pick Arjun Tendulkar for for these many seasons? 773 00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:11,560 Which specific batter I have Like I think I mean this like 774 00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:18,200 I've had OK that more offline chat can pursue behind that 775 00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:25,000 Arjun Tendulkar pick, but great question, right, honourable 776 00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,200 mentions. I think that can be a longer 777 00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:32,080 chat. Raghav, before you exit, any 778 00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:36,040 honourable mentions from you? And then we can continue and and 779 00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:43,520 wrap up the episode. Mostly very biased. 780 00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:48,600 I'd like to give a shout out to Ashley Sharma and the opening 781 00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:55,120 game of 2025 season against LSG. Yeah, I mean, I think it speaks 782 00:53:55,640 --> 00:54:00,720 for itself. Anything from like the early 783 00:54:00,720 --> 00:54:04,320 days? Any any other honourable 784 00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:10,240 mentions? I mean off, off the door, home. 785 00:54:10,240 --> 00:54:15,040 I think I I used up the ones I could remember in the main pics 786 00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:21,600 but from what I remember I think Shawn Marsh was like that was 787 00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:23,520 one of the best players in season 1. 788 00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,720 So if you're doing a season wide phrase he has to be named. 789 00:54:26,720 --> 00:54:29,000 And Albie Morkel had a great all round season. 790 00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:32,880 I think he had like 241 runs at high strike rate and 17 wickets. 791 00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:37,560 Yeah, I think, I think those are the great season wide calls that 792 00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:40,640 yeah. That Virat Kohli last over. 793 00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:42,480 That's that's what I remember. What Albie Morkel. 794 00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:51,960 I think that's what is my OK. I think Shawn Marsh had a 600. 795 00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:55,400 Run season, maybe that was the opening season, 2018 opening 796 00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:57,320 season. Yeah, yeah, it was an 8 season. 797 00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:03,920 I had, I had both Shawn Marsh and Brendan McCallum in my 798 00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:09,680 Facebook super selector for so for like so briefly I was like 799 00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:13,440 somewhere in the top 25 in the country, I think maybe. 800 00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:17,680 I don't know was good fun that that season. 801 00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:21,800 Any other honorable mentions? I have quite a few but Assad 802 00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:25,720 Batsal. Mine, the biggest vulnerable 803 00:55:25,720 --> 00:55:27,040 mention would be called about 30. 804 00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:31,040 He got 120 versus CSK out of nowhere. 805 00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:34,600 Like no one knew anything about him and he just comes at the 806 00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:38,680 scene and he, I don't know, he's never heard from before or since 807 00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:40,760 I guess. I mean, that was just a crazy 808 00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:45,280 knock coming out from nowhere. And what he did was just 809 00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:48,320 incredible. And those early days, you know, 810 00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:53,640 the IPL and the IPL, you know, you, you kind of romanticize 811 00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,200 these kind of stories because before then, you know, he just 812 00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:59,160 knew about like 2025 players who were playing for India. 813 00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:03,360 And all of a sudden you, you, you kind of hearing about these 814 00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:09,240 people who are just nobody's basically who did not, who did 815 00:56:09,240 --> 00:56:14,640 not have any chance of playing for India or who had no, they 816 00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:19,080 basically knew as well that it's just another stage to perform on 817 00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,920 that he just came in and he just did this thing and that too in 818 00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,600 South Africa for an Indian cricketer to go and do that was 819 00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:26,440 just. Incredible. 820 00:56:31,720 --> 00:56:38,520 Assad. Yes, of course. 821 00:56:39,240 --> 00:56:43,080 How how have you taken a draft by not mentioning that? 822 00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:48,640 That is just crazy. I think or I think or or pick he 823 00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:51,480 just. Kept hitting the roof of 824 00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:53,680 Chinnaswamy. Oh man, like. 825 00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,200 There was 1. And he took two wickets in that 826 00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:58,240 game as well. Yeah, yeah. 827 00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:03,240 There was 1. He hit him for like a lot of 828 00:57:03,240 --> 00:57:06,280 times in. That oh man, it was it was it 829 00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:14,200 was there was just however, Luke right 4 overs for 25 guys Luke 830 00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:16,880 right don't forget movie at the game. 831 00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:19,600 I think yeah, movie was 4 overs 26. 832 00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:26,680 I think Luke right is 4 overs 25 essentially Bara over he was 833 00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:30,640 crazy. It was is run at least, so it's 834 00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:32,600 crazy. Dilshan I just checking the 835 00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:35,240 scorecard Dilshan 33 or 36? Yes. 836 00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:38,080 I That's a ode to Virat Kohli now. 837 00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:40,480 Yes, exactly. It's like. 838 00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:44,360 That Robin at the paintings in the Rohit Sharma 2. 64 I think 839 00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:48,240 yeah yeah, yeah at least Rohit had at least Robin had like one 840 00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:50,560 goal like a single inner or Rohit coast. 841 00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:55,480 Yeah, in this case there's like there's this is pre cricket 2.0 842 00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:58,200 also right. So I guess you can cut some 843 00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:04,320 slack to Bilian. Yeah man, I have so many. 844 00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:08,240 I have so many inning. I mean we all we spoke about 845 00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:12,960 this Yusuf Patan 100 of 37. But I think for me like that 72 846 00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:17,720 of 22 was insane because it allowed KKR to qualify. 847 00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:25,760 Both the KKR final innings were great, Manvinder Bisla, Bisla 848 00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:31,520 Bisla and Manish Pandey. Manish Pandey in which Karanveer 849 00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:36,320 Singh was, was there who's I think going to be playing? 850 00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,240 He plays Legends League cricket now. 851 00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:42,360 Karanveer Singh, he took 4 wickets in that final out of 852 00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:45,400 which after taking 3 wickets, Manish Pandey hit him for three 853 00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:48,240 sixes. I mean, sixes after taking each 854 00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:50,360 week, each of those first 3 wickets I think. 855 00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:54,560 And then Manish Pandey eventually was the 4th wicket to 856 00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:58,680 fall to Karanvir Singh. I really, really like the 857 00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:02,120 Regency bias. But that Jitesh Sharma 85 of 33 858 00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:06,800 versus LSD in that 100 game this season, that was phenomenal. 859 00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:11,320 We've not spoken about Rinku's 48 of 21. 860 00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,120 Yes, yes, that was in my list as well. 861 00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:20,960 That was in my list, yes. There's Styness is 124 of 63 862 00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:25,320 versus CSK in the 2024 season as well, which is fantastic. 863 00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:28,680 It was like super winning, completely silenced Jaypalk. 864 00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:35,880 We've not even spoken about Tewatia 53 of 31, which is also 865 00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:40,240 very, very high on my list, but not high enough to qualify here. 866 00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:48,640 79 of 47 also very good. The the one where he hit. 867 00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:51,600 Daily stain. Oh yeah, yeah, that that was 868 00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:52,680 superb. That was superb. 869 00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:56,120 That was superb as well. I think that it's that same 870 00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:58,400 knock. No, it's not that same knock, 871 00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:02,160 but the one versus stain was was also pretty good. 872 01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:05,360 There are like. As soon as. 873 01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:11,160 Go ahead, go ahead. I also remember like Jay Surya, 874 01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:17,720 he completely 17 in 2008. I don't know, but it's just 875 01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:21,040 there in my memory. He's 400 something having a very 876 01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:27,600 bad season, but just took apart that took apart some team in 877 01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:31,960 2008 that that was also like he it was carnage. 878 01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:35,000 It was vintage. Just again, you know, he again 879 01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,600 came ahead of this time like for T20. 880 01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:43,080 He was born 10 years later. He was lit up the IPL and would 881 01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:44,400 have been a legend in the IPL as well. 882 01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:48,120 Yeah. So there are two picks that we 883 01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:52,600 took stock 2 for fourteen in the 2024 finals. 884 01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:57,240 So this is, yeah, the identical parallel to this is also 2 for 885 01:00:57,240 --> 01:01:02,440 14, which is Boomeras 2 for 14 in that sensational 2019 final, 886 01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:09,960 which is again 2 for 14. And as soon as Raghav said 545, 887 01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:14,400 I remembered Kumley had taken 545 in the 2018 season versus 888 01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:19,640 DC, though his 4416 in the 2009 finals was a better, better 889 01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:24,320 bowling effort, I felt. Because in that 545, Praveen 890 01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:28,120 Kumar, Dale Stein and even Jesse Ryder had bowled well in that 891 01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:31,600 game, I think. He got a few lower order wickets 892 01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:33,520 in. That yeah, he got a few lower 893 01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:36,760 order wicket, but 545 is still 545. 894 01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:39,600 But he had. A great He had a great season. 895 01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:43,480 As if he lost that match. Correct, correct, correct and. 896 01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:46,360 We also. Go ahead. 897 01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:49,480 Like I have one name which we have haven't mentioned but we 898 01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:53,240 should, Watson. Yes, of course I have another 899 01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:55,800 one, I thought. Watson in the IPL final. 900 01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:57,680 Yeah, of course. Well. 901 01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:00,440 OK, now in the IPL final that was. 902 01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:04,600 Crazy. 0 of 10. Yeah, yeah, 0 of 10. 903 01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,240 Like and then 117. And he was having a horrible 904 01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:09,480 tournament like people were saying why is it he dropped and 905 01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:15,440 why like why are they keep? And he was like a 2007 906 01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:20,760 tournament for him. Yeah, actually quite a few names 907 01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:24,080 we missed. Yeah, so, so the other name, I 908 01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:27,120 mean again synonymous with the IPL, Rajathan. 909 01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:31,800 There's no. We haven't picked anything from 910 01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:34,720 Malinga. Malinga as well. 911 01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,840 Yeah, So I think guys, if you're listening, if you're still 912 01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:41,120 listening to this episode, you must realize that we know what 913 01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:41,600 are. Our. 914 01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:45,800 Limitations and how well, how well we fucked up this episode, 915 01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:50,040 but we are covering it up in the honorable mentions. 916 01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:53,720 Yuvraj. I mean Yuvraj had couple of 917 01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:58,720 crazy seasons as well. He had that crazy 80 and three 918 01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:02,720 wickets in the game where they lost. 919 01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:08,360 I keep forgetting what was it? Just give me a second. 920 01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:10,240 I have it written down somewhere. 921 01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:15,640 Highs 4435 versus RR along with an 83 of 38. 922 01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:20,600 Rashid of course had a crazy 34 of 10 and a three for 19 versus 923 01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:25,240 KKR as well. Yeah, yeah. 924 01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:30,400 I mean. I had Eshan Kishan in 2018 925 01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:34,320 played US20 was 60 versus KKR. Yeah. 926 01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:38,920 And I think they got the qualification because it was a 927 01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:42,480 crazy and we just. Kept it in KKR anyway. 928 01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:47,720 MI's bunnies. That record is what some 1880 or 929 01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:55,440 28 recorded. I think 2024 was probably one of 930 01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:59,440 those rare seasons where I think KKR turned up properly versus 931 01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:06,800 MI, but again, that was also because of poor captaincy 932 01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:10,800 because Manish Pandey scored 56 runs in that in one of those 933 01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:12,640 games. Yes, yes, yes. 934 01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:15,880 I think it was a game in the one KD right? 935 01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:19,720 Yeah, this is the game at the one KD where where Stark takes 3 936 01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:21,400 wickets as well. Correct, Correct. 937 01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:23,000 Yeah, yeah. I mean Manish Pandey was 938 01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:27,280 relevant in 2024 like crazy he played. 939 01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:31,280 He played last. Year, but relevancy aligning 940 01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:36,240 skill in 2024. He was the impact player I I 941 01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:37,200 think. Yeah, yeah. 942 01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:40,520 Impact player, Impact player. Yeah, yeah, that's that's why 943 01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:44,080 they didn't get to bring in maybe Vaibhav Arora or somebody, 944 01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:46,440 if I remember correctly. Yeah, yeah. 945 01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:49,120 Surya Vanshi as well I can, I think. 946 01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:53,800 Oh man, that 100. Oh yeah, Surya vanshi. 947 01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:59,520 Surya Vanshi is. Superb in that 35 ball hundred, 948 01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:02,200 Yeah, 32 ball, I think, if I remember, yeah. 949 01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:06,240 And and against GT were like, I think it was against GT, right 950 01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:09,320 Against Rashid Khan and. Yeah. 951 01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:13,440 There was SIS. Diraj Prasad Rashid. 952 01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:17,040 Khan Yeah. That's just crazy, crazy stuff, 953 01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:23,320 yeah. Yeah, I think this is pretty 954 01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:25,320 much it. I think our honorable mentions 955 01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:29,520 pretty much covers everything that we have missed, but I'm 956 01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:33,760 sure people will be like koi Dwayne Bravoca innings be apne 957 01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:40,400 nahi Bola the one. Where he hit Bumrah. 958 01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:43,720 Yeah, yeah, that, that was a good. 959 01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:45,600 Bad comments. Bad comments as well. 960 01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:49,840 Oh. Man, again, MI again versus MI, 961 01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:54,240 yeah, in versus MI again versus that was. 962 01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:57,600 That day, that day, there was a clone of Bumrah bowling. 963 01:05:57,600 --> 01:06:04,160 That was not the way the way, the way Pat Cummings for people. 964 01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:08,120 I was just random like how that happened like. 965 01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:13,160 Go ahead, go ahead. Yeah, I was like, I was like, 966 01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:15,720 OK, this game is gone. This game take care for having a 967 01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:18,440 meddling kind of a season. Anyways, this game is gone and 968 01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:25,240 like I'd I'd switch off the TV like and then just read the news 969 01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:29,360 next day and like bad comments is for 50 of nothing basically 970 01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:31,240 and one one in the game and against. 971 01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:33,360 It's just crazy. Yeah. 972 01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:37,960 It was crazy again. I mean KKR has quite a few 14 973 01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:40,200 ball fifties, right? Like I mean. 974 01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:43,560 Yeah. 15 ball, 50s, I think 14 ball. 975 01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:48,160 What is his name? Yes, yes, yes, yes. 976 01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:50,640 We has a 14 ball. Yes, yes. 977 01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:56,040 She also played a fantastic novel against exactly 99 or 978 01:06:56,040 --> 01:07:01,200 something he got. Did he this guy, what is his 979 01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:04,680 name? He didn't get 100 because what 980 01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:07,200 was that game where Sanju defended the last ball because 981 01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:12,080 this guy Suyash was bowling a wide and this guy needed six 982 01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:16,240 while the. So he got a four I think in that 983 01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:19,240 game then. OK, Yeah. 984 01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:24,000 I think in that game only. I mean, how badly has Rishabh 985 01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:27,000 Pant regressed that we can't even speak about that one quick 986 01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:32,400 128 or his 97 or his 78 versus MI? 987 01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:36,240 Yeah, like. Yeah, it's sad. 988 01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:38,640 What's up? He has to open the button like 989 01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:41,920 he has to like that. I don't know why he doesn't do 990 01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:43,120 it. He has to open. 991 01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:48,800 Any final thoughts before we close the episode? 992 01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:53,480 No, it was, it was fun being back here and it was fun doing 993 01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:56,480 this. IPL, Mitra, it's a bit difficult 994 01:07:56,480 --> 01:08:01,000 to recall because there's just so many games and just so many 995 01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:04,640 things that have happened and random things that you don't 996 01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:08,040 remember, but it was fun to relive some of them. 997 01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:13,120 It's just something that once it happens, you just forget about 998 01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:14,560 it, you don't give it a second thought. 999 01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:18,720 So it is good to good to remember a few of them. 1000 01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:23,120 And yeah, it was good fun and hopefully we can do it again 1001 01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:25,760 sometime. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. 1002 01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:30,160 We should Asad. Yeah, it was great being here. 1003 01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:34,760 First of all, big fan of the show and we and everyone who 1004 01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:36,040 host the. Same year. 1005 01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:41,880 So when I was trying to research for this, I just realized I 1006 01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:46,920 don't remember much of IPL at all, like very recent games. 1007 01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:51,399 And as much as I remember all the World 20 games, like going 1008 01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:55,399 back as much going back to 20/09 World Cup even. 1009 01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:58,240 But I feel I just don't recall that. 1010 01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:01,160 And especially bowling performance, because you need to 1011 01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:03,880 be, you need to remember the game too, because just the 1012 01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:06,439 scorecard doesn't seem good. So yeah. 1013 01:09:08,399 --> 01:09:10,800 Yeah, I think that that was my thought as well. 1014 01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:14,880 Carry bowling performance like I like the first two performances 1015 01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:19,720 that I put actually I put four first two were 24142414, Bumrah 1016 01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:24,720 and Stark and then Kumble 545 and 4416 as like you are bowling 1017 01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:28,040 performance. And then then you realize like, 1018 01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:35,840 like as much as we like to say key batters win whatever and 1019 01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:40,880 bowlers win championships, but I think that's a function of the 1020 01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:43,040 IPL. I mean, just like 8090 games a 1021 01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:46,399 season. So just it's crazy. 1022 01:09:47,319 --> 01:09:50,399 It'll it'll. Anyway, be together with within 1023 01:09:50,399 --> 01:09:53,600 two months, so it is the memory span will be short. 1024 01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:59,960 Yeah, yeah. I mean, I just like again, I 1025 01:09:59,960 --> 01:10:03,920 mean, I'll, I'll go on a tangent if we have time, but IPL does 1026 01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:07,400 the most terrible job of promoting itself in the 1027 01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:10,720 offseason. The only people who have access 1028 01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:16,240 to highlights is the IPL handle to yeah Kanamei CSK Wella handle 1029 01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:23,960 koi poll Dal Reiki falana AI may future make some KXIP handle is 1030 01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:27,320 like E India jitega and like they just become fully 1031 01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:31,520 jingoistic nationalistic like like just give the footage not 1032 01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:35,960 to the teams at least with a SATSA cantata jar crore rupee do 1033 01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:46,480 I mean I don't mind that happening to who LSG, but but 1034 01:10:46,480 --> 01:10:53,040 eventually I mean to for for for this to like be as big a product 1035 01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:56,200 that you want it to be.

And like if you put the 1048 01:11:44,480 --> 01:11:47,760 highlights, that's 15 minutes that people are going to spend 1049 01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:50,440 the next day on YouTube watching those highlights. 1050 01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:52,320 Guaranteed.

Within 5 minutes you get clips 1055 01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:12,760 of everything. One minute within within 38 to 1056 01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:20,960 40 seconds of the the the World Series ending where LA Dodgers 1057 01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:22,760 won versus the Toronto Blue Jays. 1058 01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:25,800 Less than one minute. The final play was on Twitter 1059 01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:30,320 and within 15 minutes it was already retweeted 20,000 times 1060 01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:33,280 or something. So it was like and and some 1061 01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:36,240 available and then I did an analysis of Dodin Baat Kya 1062 01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:39,400 Hooray.

I'm not even talking about 1065 01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:51,960 analysis that let's say MLB would have put up. 1066 01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:57,400 MLB is already released a full 1 1/2 hour documentary on the 1067 01:12:57,400 --> 01:13:00,360 World Series, the seven game World Series versus the Dodgers 1068 01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:02,560 and the Blue Jays.
