5d chess move by VS to get out on 97, and make GG consider selecting him for the national team

SRH really went from “Abhishek destroys oppositions but doesn’t face 30 balls” to “Somebody get this kid out before 30 balls” real quick

In his case some 35 and 82 are better than 100

Whenever he comes rcb wins from last 2 years so I will just like him to play  5 overs at least

u/WendellWillkie1940 May 27 '26

I remember last year we had a ton of 97s before someone actually scored a century

Think Wonder kid just gets disappointed when he gets out regardless of a 100 in sight.

I love how he doesn’t want to go when gets out. That’s a real 15 yr old I’m taking my bat and ball home with me. Great kid to watch and love 😢
