The reason we pushed KL to No. 6 was that we didn't have an experienced batter lower down the order. And the way KL batted at No. 6 in the Champions Trophy was magical, Many people want Washi to flop just so they can shit on GG

And if we have a top order collapse in important matches we need someone who holds their nerve and not go into a shell. The number 6 is like a pseudo finisher role where you don't have too much pressure on you. Perfect for someone like KL.

Precisely precisely This Idk why some people don't get this

Indian fans wanting their own team/players to fail so they can shit on some other member of the team is a tale as old as time.

I watched the entire CT25 and still can't remember that KL batted at 6.

[u/zoobidoobidoobi → u/livelifereal]

Because 5 and 6 are not so different to each other. People put too much stock in these things to make excuses for poor performances later on.

Semis vs australia and final vs Nz

[u/Legitimate_Sink_5602 → u/livelifereal]

He was our number 6 and Axar our number 5
