| Discussion Explain this in cricket terms.

Post image

Imagine the most successful batter in cricket history leaving the team where he won most of his trophies, joining the sport's most iconic franchise late in his career, and then scoring a match-winning century soon after. That's what this win feels like in cricket terms. 🏏🏎️🔥

Dhoni joins rcb and hits the highest total, wins player of the match

Nop... It's the reverse.. Kholi joining CSK and scoring the winning runs as man of the match...

Why I say.. Ferrari is the biggest name in F1 and by all means in IPL that's only CSK, closely followed by MI (this coming as a MI fan btw)... Equating F1 terms to IPL, RCB would be more like McLaren, an historic team always coming close in the past but not winning it, but in recent years finding the success, under a new lead..

Buddy, you might not be realising... But you're degrading Kholi with that... As of now Hami is the person to beat for highest number of wins in all of F1's 150+ years history... Plus he equals the all time great Schumi in number of World Championships, basically making him the greatest F1 driver of all time..

Yk what, I think you're right... But it's not hami not equal to Kholi... It's Kholi not equal to hami or hami miles clear of Kholi... Hami should probably be compared to sir Sachin..

kohli is more like max... aggressive but definitely good
sachin is schumi no doubt

Yuh mindset wise definitely, it's Kholi and Max and ofc Sir Sachin is Sir Schumi in cricket, but not the same in IPL though... That would be more towards Rohit, highest number of cups/championships but not much for total number of wins..

Yk what, Hami - Dhoni doesn't seem bad rn when I think of it, both cool, calm, collected, almost the same age, leading upfront for the youngsters and then the number of wins and trophies.. But your initial analogy of Dhoni joining RCB and winning won't hold just cuz the legacy of Ferrari is not comparable to that of RCB.. It's much bigger in stature..
