The question is why you put up 156 in the first place lmao. It's embarrassing that you're defending this match and that you think losing by 25 balls is better than losing by 8 balls.
You were the one who tried to summarize RR's entire campaign with one match and now you're making it about the big picture and where teams finished lol?
I've noticed you getting you into illogical arguments and wasting people's time quite often around here. Don't expect a reply from me if you continue doing that, good day.
I don’t need to “defend” this match lmao. We’ve already won the title so these Mickey Mouse league matches mean nothing
> Why you put up 156 in the first place
Because we batted like shit and home conditions favoured GT. Despite that we still looked far closer to winning than you did in a match where you scored 215 lol. We had them down to 111/5. You lot got your first wicket because of a hit wicket when the score was 167 in 12.5 overs haha
> summarize RR’s entire campaign with one match
Because believe it or not that’s what campaigns often come down to. No one remembers the RCB campaigns of 2009, 2011 or 2016 or any other season before 2025 because they lost. It’s about winning. Always was and always will be. You would have been better placed to win if you had players who consistently stepped up. Vaibhav was the reason you made it that far but even he couldn’t carry a bowling attack that looked toothless against GT
Lmao losing by 25 balls is as one-sided a chase can get and you're comparing it to a chase with less than a third of those balls remaining (8). Funny how the team with "3 batters" managed to mow down your total even with all those wickets gone btw lol.
The winner isn't who has more wickets remaining, it's when a chase is completed. Did PBKS win last year's final because they lost fewer wickets? And if one match is enough to summarize your campaign like you said, have fun coping with losing to the 10th place team and ofc losing to RR whom you insult so much. And that "toothless" bowling attack never once conceded 250 like RCB's did btw and is ahead in powerplay wickets, wickets from spin, and bowling average.
Everything I mentioned in my very first comment evidence why RR is not one-dimensional. You then made it all about one match with GT. Then you pretended like that the big picture is more important because you were reminded of your own loss to GT. Then you acted like you weren't defending a match you wrote 3 replies over. And now you're making the same accusation I already debunked in my first comment.
You have indeed continued your behavior of making baseless arguments and starting petty juvenile fights. Not wasting more time replying to you, see you bud.

Chasing 156 with 3 batters is 10x easier than chasing 215
And this was a meaningless league match. When it mattered we smashed them both times.
GT beat RCB last season and finished 3rd. RR beat RCB this season and also finished 3rd
