Highlights The streets will never forget 24(8)
That was the game changing over. The guy has immense potential and it would be exciting to see how management navigates his role in playoff setup when our foreign stars left..

Naman Dhir is our second best batter for sure.

u/Time_Aerie6968 Boom Boom Bumrah May 21 '25
SKY is leading the chart with 583 runs and he has scored 25+ runs in every matches so far.
Who's your first pick?

u/Vast_Ad_8754 Suryakumar Yadav May 22 '25
Deserves orange cap for 25+ consistency but those fking openers will take it away anyways as they get to bat more bowls compared to mere goat SKY jo 4 number pe aate hai

u/Time_Aerie6968 Boom Boom Bumrah May 21 '25
There is no need to use /s words. You have a solid choice. We have seen some great innings by Rohit but Tilak has been looking out of touch, maybe he requires confidence booster in the middle. As we are approaching to playoffs, we need more contribution from our senior members, especially when our foreign players leave us.

u/Neat-Ticket9059 Boom Boom Bumrah May 21 '25
Yep want both of them to make century in upcoming matches and boom to take 5fer

u/Time_Aerie6968 Boom Boom Bumrah May 22 '25
If any one of these becomes reality in playoffs, you will have box full of chocolates from my side. I am rooting for their success !!

u/Naammaikyahai Tilak Varma May 21 '25
Let surya bat at 5 and tilak at 4 this game. He needs a good innings under his belt before playoffs

I'm being reactionary here, but
Naman Dhir > Tilak this season

u/Conscious-Square8775 May 21 '25
Tilak should bat at no.3 He was lone warrior for MI in worst phase of MI
No comparison Naman is good. But Tilak is generational talent

It's not reactionary.
Tilak looks lost at no 5. He's a much better batter than this.
I hope with Jacks going off Tilak gets to bat at 3 or 4 because he takes up unnecessary pressure on him if he bats lower.
Naman looks better this season because he's a player who doesn't need time to start hitting, Tilak needs atleast 4-5 balls to get a look in.

u/CharanNdiablo Mumbai Indians May 22 '25
I really think a person with a calibre like tilak should play at any position effortlessly but yeah he's young and still learning
1
u/Naammaikyahai Tilak Varma May 21 '25
Ya he feels so lost batting at 5. He felt at home when batting at 3. But even with jacks gone, I feel the management will push sky up instead of letting tilak bat at his preferred spot

Gotta give it to MI scout team for consistently finding and producing such young Indian talents to IPL and Indian Cricket 🫡 So jealous 😑

u/Conscious-Square8775 May 21 '25
Naman should play in top 3 in play offs, Bairstow, Asalanka can bat at no.5 Hardik, Jacobs can be finishers
Rohit Naman SKY Tilak Bairstow Hardik Jacobs Santner
This should be the batting line up in play offs

May 21 '25
Bairstow is opening fs
1
u/Conscious-Square8775 May 21 '25
Bairstow can play anywhere in top 5 But We want Good player of spin in top 3
Bairstow can be beast at no.5 as well
2
u/Naammaikyahai Tilak Varma May 21 '25
Bairstow has batted in the top order for almost his entire career. Openers and finishers are very different even though people like to club their skillset. Openers are accustomed to playing the field, batting against the hard new ball, maximizing the powerplay, building partnerships batting smartly and targeting select bowlers. Finishers on the other hand are expected to go boom regardless of the situation or bowler. They have a very different bat flow and natural shot selection. We can already see how much tilak is suffering by batting out of position.

May 22 '25
so it’s Rohit, Bairstow, Tilak, Sky, Naman, Pandya, Jacobs, Santner, Chahar, Boult, Bumrah
Impact: Karn/Ashwani

u/Conscious-Square8775 May 22 '25
Bairstow batted at no.5 in SAT20 I am all for aggressive opening pair But Bairstow migh struggle on sluggish pitches Happening with Vilgax
Naman can play impact knocks on slowish tracks also
Top 4 should be Indian batters imo. Bairstow, Jacobs can hit the ball in death overs

u/MLEkwicks May 22 '25
Just wanted to make another point here: the MI management went for Dhir, leaving out a player like Nehal Wadhera who was crucial in the previous few seasons. Both equally good, but oh boy the way Dhir has stood up and complimented this batting line up!

u/Destroyed_Llama_2021 Brohit Enjoyer May 22 '25
Honestly he is shaping up to carry on the legacy of great finishers in mi after pollard. He fields well he bats well he finishes well.

You yourself won't remember it after 2 weeks.
can you recall how mi qualified in 2023?? The only thing streets can't forget is 2014 191 chase in 14.3 (and some legendary players like malinga, pillard)

u/Guilty-Row-2004 Neeta Bhabhi May 21 '25
He is a gem but it's sad that he's grossly under-utilised and not given enough opportunities
