Going to compile some Kohli retirment articles, tweets, farewell wishes and anecdotes from players under this thread. Have tried to get non-paywalled versions. Mostly for me to come back to these later.

@zhashank +1 for a guy who hasn't found a place in playing XI regularly his confidence was amazing. No half measures.

Venky set the tone for us today with his blistering cameo of 19 off 7. Took in their bowlers from ball 1 and didn’t let them settle to one length which they usually do.

@2_dost_1_pyali They could have gone for Warner just for captaincy. They had this in mind and the conviction is the point I am making. Not half hearted.

@rootofall3vil Itna hype ke ke unbox event me mila he,aise hi thode adhe season me lath marte CSK gave it back to the former captain which is only possible in csk not in any other franchise in the world Also who does RCB had, Bhuvi???

This move and then identifying him for the future and giving him captaincy and not constant second guessing when results werent immediately stellar like those 2 successful franchises is where RCB got ahead of the game.

@Sushil_Pasricha Cleanest hitting I have seen in a while. No pressure whatsoever. Feels very different to RCB I have been watching 2008-2024

@rootofall3vil Missed today's knock but seems like a stellar show from the man. Deserves a call up

@KarolusWangus Schrodingers immigrant. Takes American jobs by taking low pay but also takes American million dollar homes by paying above market rate.

Someone bought your house for a million dollars, lining your pockets, they let grandma move in upstairs in her dotage rather than putting her in a home, and you're mad at them?

@2_dost_1_pyali Lost half of his matches in first half. CSK fired Jadeja for losing 5 games

@rootofall3vil Result weren't immediately stellar?? He won at first chance bhai

@ShriRamPrabhak1 Just banter man. I quite like him. Best insult was CSK fans comparing him to Rutu though

@rootofall3vil Why the salt at Shubman 😀

Pubman Pill thought this was hapless DC PBKS type bowling attack

Nailed Jitesh entry point

Patidar's knock is the most explosive by a captain in a playoff/knockout game in IPL. It equals the highest score as well. Warner made 93* off 58 in 2016. Patidar has scored it in just 33 balls!

Such clean hitting.

Rabada will need a higher dose of snow today.

Looks out. Wasted review.

@malthnks @cmankad I am zapped by 4 in winters.

@rootofall3vil @cmankad Can't disagree on that. I have been roaming around till 10. Had to be back by 6-7 in winter

UK is hotter than Spain today 🥵

@Szoboszlai8_ Not quite bounce out but knew that bounce will undo him.

@rootofall3vil Here we go 😂

Holder will bounce out Kholi saab.

Charged up. Washing powder done fucked up.

@vibhavarms Ground looks very small and pitch very flat. I think no total is safe.

260 isn't safe on this ground and this pitch.

@malthnks @cmankad The endless evenings are so good for productivity tbh

@rootofall3vil @cmankad Not this hot!! In India there are ceiling fans and ACs. It is so difficult to live on Tower fans and Pedestal fans.
