Chapter 1: How did India achieve 12 consecutive T20 World Cup wins?
Well, can anybody stop this juggernaut? I'm so excited that I've basically lost my voice. 12 World Cup wins in a row in T20s for India. Thanks to Budweiser, this calls for a Bud. Well, I would like to know what it's like supporting a team that wins games of cricket. I've forgotten what that's like, but I would like to know. I apologise for how I sound.
That's where we are, and I'll make no further apologies or comments. Pezza, this was a clinical victory. This was Shivam Dube.
Chapter 2: What were the highlights of India's victory over the Netherlands?
This was Chakravarti. This was some umpire stuff for me personally. This was how cricket games are supposed to go when your team's good.
India just did what they needed to do. He goes, they're barely out of second gear. They may not have annihilated the Netherlands who fought hard, but they got lots out of the game, like a business experimenting with new revenue sources. What happens if Bumrah takes the new ball? Oh, I see. Hardik, we'll bowl some different times. Dube, we'll give that a bowl.
Abhishek Sharma, you can't score a run, so we'll give you an over. It's the right type of win at the right time. When India wins a game, the obvious question in the media is... What can we glaze? And there was a lot to glaze. It was the nature of the victory. It wasn't total hyperactive destruction. It was scarier. It was a win designed to protect their peak.
A win whose signal is we're just getting out of bed at the moment. We're trying a couple of things. I haven't got my clothes on yet. You know, I'm not even having a look at the day, but I'm registering victories already. It was an energy conserving win. As we know, he goes, horses need to keep their carrots. All right. Horses don't want to run out of carrots. It was a carrot conserving win.
for India, and exactly the kind of win they needed right now.
Let's have a quick look at the scores, please, Chucky, just a little summary, because India, even though they didn't make 200, or indeed 300, they did make 193, and Netherlands never really in the game, although a nice couple of contributions there from Bastolet especially, but yeah, it really was Shibandube and Varun's
day to day but thank you to Budweiser who are putting this show in the hands of fans let's have a let's have a little looky-loo as to what they're talking about and it's mostly failure except for this guy Ollie says is the fact that a Sussex Prem player smacks boundaries mean I still have a chance no it doesn't but it does make you have a closer proximity to you know Ahmedabad Modi the stadium the celebrations they're in where of course Australia won the 23 World Cup final
unnecessary but you know I'm sick and I'm lashing out okay and that's why I'm actually I'm not sure you picked up the news but Mohamed Kaif yesterday made clear or the other day that they call them the mighty Australians but as we've seen with the Champions Trophy 24 World Cup this World Cup not so mighty and really if Hardik Pandya was playing in 23 India would have won so
It's all that needed to happen in 23. Just Pandya needed to play. So, yeah. I'm reminded in the... 2023 is... I think 23 can be scrubbed from the record.

Chapter 3: How did the players perform in the match against the Netherlands?
So, anyway, what else have we got, please? Chuck in the hands of fans here. Thanks to Bud. Copium. Yeah, Shivam Dube being our best batsman makes me very queasy. Very queasy. Okay, well, that's... I can relate to that right now. We'll talk about Shivam in a moment. What else have we got, please, Chuck? Abhishek Sharma, saving runs for psychological final against Australia in Ahmedabad.
Well, that will be quite something on both fronts at the moment. Poor old Abhishek. Number one T20 bar in the world. Misses out a couple of times, you know. India have options. India have options. And last one, please, Chuck. Abhishek showing us what we're missing.
Coley's prime form in Nassau County 2024, which I think when Virat reflects on his career, he will think, remember when I batted on Long Island for a bit? That was when I was at my absolute peak.
Yeah, T20 cricket, famously a game of enshrining memories to last a lifetime. Virat Coley in Nassau County 2024.
Let's talk about Shivam Dube, Pezza. If we can have a look at the Indian batting card, please, Chuck. But it was a marvellous 66, was it? 66 off 31, ably supported at the end by Hardik Pandya. Contributions from Sky and Tilak Varma, I suppose, as well. But Shivam Dube hit six sixes and four fours. And so 52 of his runs have come from 10 balls, and the other 14 runs have come off 20 or whatever.
I mean, this is a guy that is just built to hit bombs.

Chapter 4: What strategies did India employ during the game?
All he wants to do is hit bombs, like Phil Mickelson driving into, you know, Magnolia Lane for the Masters, just hitting hellacious seeds, hitting bombs. Now, at the same time, I think it was, was it, who was bowling? Who had him absolutely fucking plumb first ball. And it's an umpire's call.
And if I'm a Dutch fan, if I'm a Dutch player, I'm thinking, if we're going to beat India at home, everything needs to go our way. And that's pretty unlucky. Anyway, it didn't really cost him. He just hit 66 off 31 balls. But I'm fascinated by Shivam Dube because I've been studying the online streamer recently, Clavicula, as you know. And he's been talking about... looks maxing, okay?
He looks maxing. Now, Shivam Dube has been doing the opposite of that. But my God, it is a clean ball that he's hitting at the moment.
Fucking hell. That entire monologue will need to be studied one day. What did he mean? No, I completely agree. There seems to be a hum of conversation that the aesthetics of Shivam Dube, you know, could be greater, could be better. But, I mean, he doesn't look a day over 24 to me and he's 32 years old. No, like he, I completely agree. You bowl into that arc and you disappear.
He just, the guy just hits bombs. And yet, because he kind of hasn't made his mark on international cricket just yet in a way that we might remember for a month, It feels to me like he might be a weak link in this Indian batting side when push comes to shove later on. Well, you know, he didn't look at last night. he actually looked a class apart.
It's interesting when you look at that scorecard, like how regularly in this World Cup that anchor innings in the middle seems important. Sky's played it a few times now, that kind of run a ball only, you know, maybe striking at 110, 120, allows somebody else to do the business at the other end. But that partnership is working for India at the moment. Shivam Dube's coming to the party.
Look, everything's coming up India. What was he? He was 50 off 25. He's 66 off 30. You're totally right. That LBW call looked so out. And, you know, if you play grade cricket, sometimes the umpires really do make a call. Sometimes it really is umpire's call. And that was the umpire's call last night, that Shivam Dube wasn't out.
And, yeah, you know, it was ā look, it was a pretty well-constructed innings from India ā
uh all told you know they came home with a wet sale at the end uh and they they put enough on the board right and and yeah they they bring shivam dubai to the party he's um he's got runs on the board now you know it's it's all looking it's all looking pretty healthy uh for the indian bats i have to say um except for abhishek sharma but if you think about it another way um you know with zero runs in the tournament thus far and being the number one t20 batter in the world um
