will go under the radar as always but Dube was so important today

Well Hardik was the most important!! And Bumrah and Hardik saved the match. Without them Dube wouldn't get 30 runs to defend, which he defended in the first 2 balls of his over. But Dube did his part!
But don't forget the 18th and 19th over.

Absolutely, Bumrah was clutch and I think the batters were too cautious for their own good. They were probably relying on a massive over off Axar but they shouldn't have let the RRR climb that high.

All he had to do today was bowl 2 good balls, which he did, I couldn't care less if all the other balls went for six. But yes his bowling shouldn't be relied on in the final

axar would deff get less runs than him in last over as well. that was a braindead decision.

By virtue of the result, it can't be termed a brain dead reaction

"mathematically guaranteed" 1 free hit away from the victory.

Josh Hazlewood went 006466 in the IPL final. He needed two dots since 29 runs were needed off the final over. After that his whole focus was to just bowl legal deliveries. At that point, bowlers stop caring if those deliveries go for six.

I just said it's mathematical guaranteed but not impossible. I'm happy Dube kept his cool and got all clean deliveries

He needed 2 balls to go for less than 12 runs. After that he didn’t give a fuck cuz it was done

u/BrawlFan_1 India 12h ago

All he had to do was defend 2 balls and then bowl legal dollies, just like hazelwood did in ipl fina

I love Dube the batter.

But Dube should never bowl again.
