@karhacter Oh wow groundbreaking journalism: ‘ball hit bat not phone screen.’
Next you’ll tell us water is wet.
players repeatedly say the constant negativity & trolling creates pressure. But Amol, keep cooking those ‘nothing to see here’ threads
@karhacter We know it’s not “scientific,” but vibes are real.
Atmosphere matters.
The pressure you feel after big claims on social media? That’s real too.
Performance isn’t played in a vacuum — words create energy, and energy affects the dressing room. #justsaying
@CricRicky he gets the first ball pitched at his pads/thighs in most innings
he’s been smashing anything pitched on leg stump
he’s always been great at hitting anything wide of off stump
he’s practically reduced the margin of error for the bowler to that one stump width of off
Feels like Devdutt Padikkal has made a point to hit a boundary on first or atleast the second ball of his innings this year and he is consciously trying to do that. Curious to see his ball 1-2 strike rate this year, if some stats person can bring it up.
@CricRicky Everytime I see him come to bat , I don’t know but all the bowlers bowl to him on his legs continuously, and he just flicks it for six or slides to a 4 behind , and all the bowlers keep doing this continuously to him , maybe they think it’s his weakness , but I guess not now
@JunaidKhanation@rohitjuglan but when akeal plays Csk mostly win, losing with sai kishore was exception , fin allen had a really good day , playing 2 spinners is a must regardless , unless theres so much to offer for pace bowlers in pace
@rohitjuglan GT,CSK tried 1 spinner approach in the beginning , but learned their lesson , now again they stopped playing manav suthar , akeal hosein and they are failing , i think there shouldnt be much doubt of playing 2 spinners , playing 2 spinners is a must regardless
