SecondSlip Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) Seriously, all Indian fans and even their pet dogs know that Kishan is a very bright prospect and is best used as an opener. Yet he is batting below the likes of Jadeja for Gujarat Lions! Do Hodge and Raina not rate him or something? At least give him a few chances opening the batting with McCullum before coming to a conclusion. You're losing match after match, it wouldn't hurt to try something different! Who knows, he might shine bright like Nitish Rana has for Mumbai, but how will you ever find out if you keep wasting him!

Sandeep99 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Freaking Finch isn't able find a place in top 3. Baz Smith Raina Finch Karthik.. tell me where can they fit Ishan.. I know it is hard on him but he should have been taken by a team like Hyderabad where he could have got more chances..

Laaloo Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 That's been the story with most indian franchises all these years. express bowling and Ultimate_Game 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkt.india Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 He is just 18. Difficult to see him bat ahead of established players. Players of such age can struggle in t20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Yes youngsters, experienced and mature youngsters, not toddlers.t20 is a cruel format and it being made for youngsters is a huge misconception. You need completely different set of skills and it is good for those players who have those skills whether they are 22 or 32.

philcric Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Some players are plain lucky / unlucky to be in certain teams. Players like Dhawan (average) and Parthiv (mediocre) are still opening the batting for years now because of the teams they are playing in and because of their own shortcomings (like can't play in the middle order).

sscomp32 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Just wrong team. GL are too batting heavy. SRH or RPS would have been great for him. beetle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

express bowling Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 After today's innings, Kishan will certainly bat ahead of Jadeja. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are hard hit by no Bravo / Faulkner.. Is Faulkner available for selection? If he is, they should get him in Smith's place and have a line up that looks like: Finch Mccullum Raina Karthik Ishan Faulkner Jadeja bowlers...

GoodEnough Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Laaloo on Ishan Kishan, why GL waste him lower down? When you chase 214 you need your best stroke player, much more early for experimentation, than other Way around.if he bats at 4 with more over to bats on, he certainly help GL winning.I know this guy ever since he was captain of U19.

Pollack Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 They are doing the right thing by batting him down the order.Ishan may be used to get a few slogs down the order.The other destructive batsman should get to face more balls.Ishan is no Pant. He is very raw and needs to maintain balance while playing shots.Pant looks more assured. Ultimate_Game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricketics Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 They can send him ahead most at probably 5, which is not bad if he is coming after finch and Raina as both those are clearly better than him but ya he has to come ahead of others and be given chance at 5 at least.
