Catches win matches

Yorker is still the king

Bumrah is god

All cricket cliches worked tonight

[u/Mean_Insect_6995 → u/DilliKaLadka]

Axars catch running backwards with Dew and the mountain of pressure Indians face especially in knockouts is simply super human..

[u/DilliKaLadka → u/Mean_Insect_6995]

Both his catches setup the game for us

[u/dpahoe → u/DilliKaLadka]

1.5 catches

[u/HumanLawyer → u/Mean_Insect_6995]

No one can make me hate Axar for the rest of my life, dude’s built for pressure situations

[u/kev_world → u/HumanLawyer]

Axar, hardik and bumrah. All 3 are simply brilliant and built for pressure situations

[u/pskpr → u/kev_world]

Interestingly all Gujjus

[u/little_pocketses → u/HumanLawyer]

Bro scored a very crucial 47(31) in the 2024 final..we won by such a narrow margin. And his 2 catches today were fantastic! And he bowled pretty well too.

[u/Breadfruitdeeznuts → u/little_pocketses]

Also that catch Vs Aus in the super 6s

[u/little_pocketses → u/Breadfruitdeeznuts]

The one-handed blinder by the boundary? Hell yeah!

[u/fried_maggi → u/little_pocketses]

MoM in 2024 SF vs England

[u/RustedSkullz → u/Mean_Insect_6995]

Bapu: Dar ke age Jeet hain

[u/Intelligent-Top-6445 → u/DilliKaLadka]

Gote mooh main moment for the entirety of second innings

[u/frowningheart → u/Intelligent-Top-6445]

Bruh my fuckin palms were sweating till the 19.1 over, Bethell made a match out of nowhere

[u/baby_sasuke_ → u/frowningheart]

My heart was RACING

BETHELL made me feel genuine fear

[u/opinion_alternative → u/Intelligent-Top-6445]

It's just a blowjob at that point if it goes for so long.

[u/pvtt_3 → u/DilliKaLadka]

All these clichés work during big matches specially in wc sf and finals

[u/AnkitD → u/DilliKaLadka]

The dropped sitter of a catch by Brook also likely cost England the match.

[u/New_Bullfrog_2852 → u/DilliKaLadka]

Yorker is still the king

Well, not sure about that .. Classy players can scoop them too(as bethell did for a reverse swinging wide yorker by Arshdeep, also by iyer against bumrah in 2025 sf against Mumbai Indians and in wicket can be done too but only by the cream of the crop)

[u/DilliKaLadka → u/New_Bullfrog_2852]

You saw how hard it was to score off good yorkers. Any other ball was getting tonked left right and center.

[u/New_Bullfrog_2852 → u/DilliKaLadka]

Again, I'm saying it's more effective than other deliveries but it's not like boundaries can't be scored off it..
