Bad day to be an team india fan😆 Sunday morning barbad kar diya gadho ne😆 its safe to presume Yuvi's staggering career will be a full stop now.. I cant believe Dhoni sent him instead of just sending Raina.. even sending Raina in the 49th over wld have given 10 more runs.. khair.. retrospection se kuch nahi hoga.. SL were a very disciplined team and they deserve it every bit.. my SL friends are rejoicing.. and I am happy for them.. took them 18 yrs after 96 and 3 T20 finals.. 👍🏼

I understand Yuvi's innings spoiled the show but singling him out for the loss is a bit unfair IMO. It also takes the credit away from SL who played really well. I think it is a team loss. I feel very bad for Yuvi as so many times he has been the star of the match and just because he could not deliver yesterday, he does not deserve to be bashed the way he is getting in India. I heard his house was pelted with stones. It is good to see Dhoni and Sachin coming to his defence.

I probably can't relate to the cricket fanaticism in India but I find it very amusing how quickly the most loved player becomes the most hated. 😆

Yuvi lost the match rather than SL winning it. 😆😉

While i dont endorse the fanaticism and hooligan behavior.. I dont get why criticizing MSD's strategy of sending out of form Yuvi in the middle in a competitive final of this order is not legit.. for all the praises MSD has got over the years for experimenting.. this was PLAIN STUPID.. especially with RAINA as an option.. secondly.. Yuvi, has enough experience to realize that when he cant rotate the strike in the 15th over he needs to do something brash.. what was he to lose at that point.. he would have gotten out b4.. big deal.. at leasttt Virat who was sooo frustrated standing at the non-strikers would get more than 4 -5 balls in last 4 overs.. one cant play with a dim-wit when you are representing your country in a WC final..its competitive sport and not just India, a selfish performance like that would be pelted here too.. people here get all worked up about college football which is NOT EVEN on an international level..

cricket is a sport that unites Indians that nothing else does.. so sentiments run high.. and obviously reaction is expected.. heck my SL friends have all sorta Yuvi jokes😆 on fb.. from putting him in the SL jersey to giving him man of the match.. even THEY ADMIT.. that he guy harmed the team 20-30 runs at least.. when these cricketers take all the adulation and endorsements etc that come with it.. they should be prepared to take massive backlash too.. no one is denying his past contribution.. but yesterday he cost us a big match.. and THAT WILL REMAIN A FACT.. lets not mix issues here.. when a golden spade wears off and RUSTS.. you say it rusted.. not that it was once golden.. thats stating the obvious..

yes the guy is a fighter.. he may fight the odds again.. but such is the demand of competition in most things now that supporting a white elephant anywhere is obsolete now.. so MSD and selectors do have a big justification impending here.. coz Yuvi was out of form all tournament except Aus.. and that was a STUPID MOVE to send him up the order

I think a few things stand out

1) We all knew Yuvi was terribly out of form (we discussed how mallya made a bad move paying for him so much for IPL) - so does Indian team management not know that?

2) Yes he was instrumental in our success for inaugral IPl but that doesnt mean he get to play out of form in another world cup final

3) It is a team sport but as yuvi proved, if a batsman wants to be selfish, he can waste time at crease instead of playing "hit out or get out"...our semi final thats how we got 170 + runs, everyone went and hit well...

4) Dhoni's experiments have made sense in past, putting yuvi - out of form, would have been fine if he had told him - i dont expect you to be "not out" - go and hit or get out. so dhoni is to blame as he should have send raina and himself before yuvi...

all in all yuvi was a key reason for our loss... and does deserve crticisim as tendu god said but given his past glories for us, does not deserve crucifiction especially when its team management fault to let him play or promote an out of form player to bat before in form players...
