Popular Post Laaloo Posted April 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) You have the likes of Iyer, Rana, Pant, Krunal Pandya. Rahane is awful in T20s. Yuvi is inconsistent. Dhoni well even though he was the '2nd' best batsman in recent times, his numbers are deceiving. Some ICFers will tell you he provided a good support in the Asia cup. Yeah 48 runs in 4 innings and most runs were scored after Kohli had already pretty much won the match.

Ultimate_Game Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 You are preaching to the choir. Tell that to selectors who didn't even have balls to blood a youngster in a meaningless short format series against England at home. And they recently handed Yuvraj a Grade b contract and have Rahane as the vice captain in all formats Likes of Pant, Krunal (if conditions are spin friendly), Iyer, Rana, Pandey should be tried and given plenty of opportunities. not only are these players hungrier, they are good athletes and fielder too. I say get them in T20 squads and some of them (Pant and Pandey) in odis too. speedheat, Mosher, Laaloo and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of the very few who can hit from ball one and is an outstanding fielder. Likes of Yuvraj and Rahane hardly offer anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samson isn't there yet. Too inconsistent. Pandey, Pant, Rana, Pandya bros should be ahead along with KL Rahul, Rohit (if fit and in form), Jadhav and Kohli.

Forever Indian Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Totally agree. T20s are a youngsters game, get them in. Instead we have youngsters in Tests and all oldies in T20s Kohli should also end his love for Yuvraj. His time has come and gone.

We need someone who can tonk from ball 1. The guy has a clutch gene. Trust me he will come good in shorter formats and you need at least one batsman who can bat through the innings. Most T20s you are chasing 160-180 and Pandey can be the one who anchors the chase and finishes off the match. Plus he should be an automatic selection for odis too.

And the squad for next year's WT20 should be filled with youngsters. DDfan2017 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T20s I guess yeah depending on the team composition. I guess you can have Pant Rohit or someone else Kohli Pandey Rana Pandya and take it from there.....

Cricketics Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 8 minutes ago, BCCI said: and Raina. Raina is fine. Don't need to fill up t20 side with all youngsters. Kohli and Rohit and Raina can play, while Raina is probably our best and most consistent t20 batsman. Nitish, Pandya can come in for guys like Dhoni, Yuvi etc but Kohli and Raina have to be there in t20 side. Pant is a must too and Raina hits from ball one and is the most consistent t20 specialist, so if any of the youngsters fail in the same game, Raina can take pressure of from Kohli or Rohit to score. Raina is a must, and guys like Nitish, Pandya can still be part of the same team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the form of batsmen I would replace Rohit with Rahul as an opener or slot in Pandey. The one worry i have is that all of Rohit, Kohli, Rahul and Rana have succeeded when they batted in Top 3 but obviously not everyone can do so and you only have two slots. No idea what Rana will do if he has to bat lower down the order coz Kohli should bat at 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
