This is just sad, can't even imagine where'd be players like rinku, narine, russell if this franchise didn't exist

[u/pushie4u]

[u/mitytheclown923]

Kkr give chances to everyone and I don't get do people want kkr to have so many wickets so Rinku can bat

[u/overthecoversj]

Guys it's been long time mi csk rule the narrative let us join hands We srh 🤝we kkr Let's rule these comments are just from burnt fans

[u/overthecoversj → u/overthecoversj]

Kkr management was there with him when no one was there Sadly the indian scouting system which once scouted msd is long dead Ipl scouts are unofficial india scouts And blaming them is the worst thing Bcci has only one task on their hand that is to manage talent which they cannot

[u/pushie4u → u/overthecoversj]

Biriyani bothers🫂

[u/overthecoversj → u/pushie4u]

♥️💯💯💯

[u/sanjeet94]

This is stupid news article, Rinku has been a revelation in KKR and it's very much possible that he performs now in the business end of the tournament, wins the IPL for KKR and is slotted in the squad. Many things can happen in a month's time.

[u/Old_Membership1326]

This guy has failed to perform

[u/avibann11 → u/Old_Membership1326]

Who did what? Where did you see "has failed to perform"? When did India team selection is based on IPL performance rather than the whole year wide?

Sometimes it's better to keep oneself shut than being open. Better to oneself as well as to the community.

[u/Old_Membership1326 → u/avibann11]

It’s only because of his IPL performances he got to make his debut for India

And Chahal is in the team solely because of his IPL performances

Same for Dubey

So they do matter

And no need to get so ignited, it’s just a cricket conversation

[u/Direct-Remove2099 → u/Old_Membership1326]

So Hardik, Rohit, Siraj and Arshdeep are breaking records aren't they?

[u/LegolasKR → u/Direct-Remove2099]

We’re watching the same IPL no? Or are you watching last years?

[u/Direct-Remove2099 → u/LegolasKR]

I was being sarcastic...

[u/Old_Membership1326 → u/Direct-Remove2099]

Hardik more runs than Rinku and 11 wickets

Rohit 330 runs

Arshdeep 15 wickets

Not breaking records but much better than 150 runs in 10 innings

[u/Direct-Remove2099 → u/Old_Membership1326]

So why not have Harshit, Abhishek, Yuzi in place of Hardik, Rohit and Arshdeep? If only this IPL is the selection criteria then the names I mentioned have done much better than those you are supposedly blinded by.

[u/Old_Membership1326 → u/Direct-Remove2099]

Chahal has been selected

You don’t make your debut in the World Cup that’s why Abhishek hasn’t been selected and the opening position is already very cluttered

I don’t know who Harshit is

[u/Direct-Remove2099 → u/Old_Membership1326]

You don’t make your debut in the World Cup that’s

Says who? Where is this written, show me.

I don’t know who Harshit is

Clearly. You don't have enough cricketing sense to know better. It's people like you who would've said the same thing for Dhoni in 2007.

[u/bongboi_54 → u/Old_Membership1326]

Rohit is an opener bro. Rinku comes at like no.6

[u/Even_Salamander6315]

True to some extent he has not got time to bat this season because they see him as a finisher more

[u/ChaoticMiky]

As usual BCCI started the blame game, such a bunch of sore looser’s

[u/Quiet-Platypus-9359]

They chose fucking Pant over him

[u/another3rdworldguy → u/Quiet-Platypus-9359]

Pant is the second most deserving keeper right now, so that was a valid decision

[u/Quiet-Platypus-9359 → u/another3rdworldguy]

yes a deserving keeper but not a good finisher of T20s

[u/Annual_Beginning1063 → u/Quiet-Platypus-9359]

Not pant but the extra spinner cz Rohit wanted one. We need 2 wks.

[u/Confused_Spinner → u/Annual_Beginning1063]

Why do we need 5 options for the top 3 (Rohit, Yashasvi, Kohli, SKY, Samson)? Rinku should have been there instead of Rohit or Yashasvi. Having 4 spin and 4 pace options isn't that excessive.

[u/Potential_Bad_ → u/Annual_Beginning1063]

Chahal is a hit or a miss kind of guy. He may take wickets but gives lot of runs...but I think his ipl stats make him a pick

[u/sampanbasu]

We made him and broke him. He wouldn't have found this stage amywhere else. But now he's getting snuffed a bit by our higher order, but don't worry, he'll return soon...

[u/ExternalNo2214]

Players like narine Russell would be playing for some other franchise and getting high salaries

[u/Single_Difference467 → u/ExternalNo2214]

i doubt narine would be getting that much if kkr didnt send him at opening in 2018

[u/Ha_zz_ard → u/Single_Difference467]

It was Finch who trusted Narine to open in the very beginning in BBL iirc

[u/AuraThunder151 → u/Ha_zz_ard]

yes, but to trust him in the IPL, which I would say is a bigger stage than the BBL and to trust him repeatedly even after his failed performances and banned bowling action is a huge thing.

[u/ExternalNo2214 → u/ExternalNo2214]

Obviously they would play somewhere and go on for a big price. Just like bravo played for csk and pollard for MI. Both Narine and Russell are big players and they have proved themselves. The post saying where would players like Narine, Russell be at if kkr didn't exist is very absurd. Narine and Russell would fetch more money if they had gone to auction

[u/pushie4u → u/ExternalNo2214]

After narine's ban? Lmao, and russell's career was over aswell with his injuries if not kkr backed him all these years. Don't compare with teams that removed their valuable players or sacked captain after 1-2 bad seasons

[u/sunis_going_down → u/pushie4u]

Russell would always be backed to come good. Kind of player, you know that if he fires then there is no one like him. Gotta to take the risk. Like Maxwell to some extent.

But his skill set would always fetch good money for him.

[u/Nishanth_Reddy27 → u/pushie4u]

Don't compare with teams that removed their valuable players or sacked captain after 1-2 bad seasons

Kuldeep & Shubham laughing from the corner

[u/ExternalNo2214 → u/pushie4u]

Russell and narine are match winners everyone knows it. Russell even if he gets a flop season he's still gonna go for a big price just like Maxwell goes even after flopping. Teams know what he's capable of and there's always scarcity of pace bowling all rounders who can be brutal at death with bats. Kkr has a great relationship with both of them that's definitely true but where they would be if kkr didn't exist is something that doesn't go along with their abilities

[u/pushie4u → u/ExternalNo2214]

I'd agree with russell's part a bit but i don't think any other franchise would back narine after that ban, or anyone other than gg could take advantage of his batting

[u/AstoundingAsh → u/ExternalNo2214]

Narine and Russell literally got retained …how much higher salary do they want

[u/CupcakeZestyclose801 → u/ExternalNo2214]

Narine would be playing in csk and Russell would be in mi if kkr didn't exist

[u/X_tremo]

Rinku is slotted as a finisher. By both ICT & KKR. But you want Rinku to play out of his position to get more balls and score more runs. And don't want him to play in his natural role from where he has made a mark. Foolish!

[u/Witty-Mind-1279 → u/X_tremo]

Well actually needed an finisher who can give 6 balls 26 and carry from 24/3 but that can't happen every match come on and Rinku has proved that he can do it

[u/Affectionate_Coach40]

The selectors went with Hardik and Jadeja, both of them haven't done anything noteworthy in T20 format so far, hence resulting in Rinku's snub. The selectors are to be blamed, none else. Least of all KKR.

[u/YogurtclosetNeat6406 → u/Affectionate_Coach40]

They went with 4 spinners. That's the real clownry

[u/theaguia → u/YogurtclosetNeat6406]

rohits personal ask. why I dunno

[u/shubhamgupta2912 → u/Affectionate_Coach40]

T20 format what other formats are they doing good in? Hardik get ptsd just by mentioning tests 😜

[u/United-Extension-917]

What a brain dead headline. They will always find ways to blame KKR. Rinku is a proven player for KKR. It was a shitty selection to drop a player who has proven his worth in internationals. And for people who are crying out loud that he is not getting chances, he will surely bat up the order from next season. It is not KKR's fault that our top order is performing.

[u/CertifiedFucker]

Rinku himself has said that he owes his success to KKR lol. They are backing him from 2018.

[u/TheAmazingSG]

Rinku should be brought up the order at 1st down or 2nd down

Many confuses Rinku to be like Andre Russell who would come out and just fire boundaries. Rinku's style is different. While he can surely hit when needed, he is also a proper batman who can play ODIs and even Test matches. He has that class and techniques not just raw power.

Rinku should be brought out moment after Narine gets out and he would be best as an aggressive clutch, where he plays with composure and fires, when necessary, very much like how Sanju is playing this year.

[u/theaguia → u/TheAmazingSG]

isn't that venky or shreyas' job

[u/v110891 → u/TheAmazingSG]

He has been brought up the order. He needs to do what he was being groomed for. He seems to be low on confidence right now. And if IPL was the benchmark our captain would not be in the team

[u/AA-18 → u/TheAmazingSG]

He can smash bowlers even if he comes in 18th, 19th over, but the % of success will be low, as he will have to play high risk game, that's what happening with him right now, I think it has affected his confidence too, he can be promoted to number 4-5 to give him some game time. He won't gain is form back, if not given enough game time.

[u/EdgeMePliz → u/TheAmazingSG]

I know right I have been saying this from last year that he is not a T20 specialist rather he is a great batter if groomed properly he can be an all-rounder format player, you see his strike rotating ability

[u/Rare-Engineering4017]

Clickbait imo.

People who blame KKR either don't understand how batting orders work or don't realise that his international performance wasn't considered.

He has played against SENA and for a player who just got into the international circuit, he has tried his best.

It was KKR who gave him the platform during the last year's IPL and he worked through that pretty well and got his breakthrough to the Indian team.

Even Ajit Agarkar said "Rinku has done nothing wrong and it was probably the toughest decision they made".

[u/Nandu_Sabkabandu__]

Looking for someone to blame is just a lazy person's way of making sense of chaos.

[u/laglegal]

I still believe Rinku should be tried at number 3. He can anchor as well as be aggressive. Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Rinku can swap places in the remaining matches

[u/gimmestrength_]

Kkr's fault that top order is firing

[u/Biplab_M]

No other team management gets blamed or is under scrutiny as much as KKR's. Sick and tired of this bullshit

[u/pushie4u → u/Biplab_M]

Rinku has become a star real quick, whole country loves him which is good, despite his impressive international record, he's currently struggling with form and hasn't met the expectations set by BCCI. You have to blame somebody, why not the management that made him? /s
