Are we not aware of the importance of batting strike-rates in T20Is ?

Something like

 

Rohit

Rahul

Kohli

Iyer 

Hardik

Pant

Krunal

 

would be a T20I batting lineup

yes, this would be solid. Iyer is a longer format batsman in my opinion. Someone like Rana, Hoodlum, etc. might be more suitable

Hooda's ability to hit international pacers is still unclear to me.

I don't know either. Perhaps Iyer is the best bet, but I'd rather see him play in test matches someday. We need to find players who can score at a career SR of 150-160. Apart from Pandya bros and maybe Pants I can't think of any.

Agree and I yhink pretty much everyone here acknowledges that we play T20s in "ODI" mode. We have been lucky of late that our bowlers have been doing really well. Its high time our selectors realize that T20 is a totally different format with very different skill requirements. Rahul, Pant, Krunal should be given a decent run in the team.

We simple aren't getting the game, we initially won the t20 worlcup when this version was in it's nascent stage, now although we have the best leGue in the business, other countries are ahead of us.

Blame squarely should be on selectors as they don't get it n care enough to focus on separate t20 squad, it's more of an after thought n most ODi players get in by virtue of being there on the tour.

If selected on merit 40% of the squad or more don't deserve to be on the squad.

DHONI

Dhawan

Rahane

Need to go asap

Also Virat, Rohit, Jadhav should target 150 mark as far as S/R.

Young guns like Sarfaraz, Hooda, K Pandya , other t20 specialist should come in, also personally I would hand over captaincy to someone else, so we have an option in the future, someone young and aggressive n wants to win bad.

yes, we also need a fast scoring keeper-batsman. either pant or kishan I guess. it has been quite a while since sarfaraz played a T20 I think

+1Somehow it gives me a sense(may be wrong)that everyone considering him a threat for their position. Including kuptan saheb and even budhha gavaskar, i think he is the person who can compete with kohli in all fomat provided better grooming and oopurtunities.

I am certain that he can surpass Kohli in Test matches and can go neck to neck in ODI and T20 hence another choice for captainship.

A batsman who bats in the top 4 can have a SR of 135+ till we find someone better. At the very least, it would be an upgrade over the 115 to 123 SR batters that we have now

Rahul is capable of maintaining 140 SR as he is a big six hitter

Yes, almost all our T20I picks are based on recent ODI form.

 

We don't want to develop T20 specialists.

Tbh the OP should be a selector. All his posts in this thread are hitting the nail. I agree with all his selections, Krunal, Shreyas, Rishabh Rahul are what exactly we are missing from our team.

 

Imagine a lineup of

 

Shreyas

Rohit

Virat

Rahul

Rishabh

Krunal

Hardik

Kuldeep

Chahal

Bhuvi

Bumrah

 

12th man Raina 

 

 

Imagine  this lineup for a t20. Other than Rohit, I don't think anyone will ever break the momentum. 6 Bowlers. 3 pacers, 3 spinners. 2 wrist spinners, 1 left arm finger spinner.

1. It's easy to say that Iyer and pant will not break the momentum but the reality might be very different. IPL and T20Is are different scenarios. Both have been inconsistent in the IPL itself. Change in the team doesn't always mean that the new players will perform. Dhawan is an established opener. You need to have strong reason to replace him. Iyer and pant both haven't performed extraordinarily or anything in the A-series or BP11 matches.

2. There is no proper keeper in your team. Pant/Rahul are half&half keepers.

3. Krunal isn't ready yet for International games. I would say Axar is a better pick currently as we more of their bowling than batting given the top 6 we have.

4. Raina has been out of the scene for a long time now. He also has ego issues by not playing Ranji and other domestics. Not fit as well. Can't have such players in the national team.

 

 

Dhawan

Rohit

VK

Rahul

Dhoni

Pandya

Axar

Kuldeep

Chahal

Bhuvi

Bumrah

 

6 bowling options. 3 pacers and 3 spinners. 2 wrist and 1 finger-spin.

Rana just hit a 100 ranji trophy yesterday. He hasn't disappeared anywhere

What I meant was, i don't think he has been part of any recent A tours, usually A tour selections are supposed to be a step towards natnl team.

Either that, or  I have not been paying attention

I don't know what value Dhoni brings to the team if he doesn't bat, starts missing stumping chances like he did today and without any grooming role, since Pant is not playing. 

According to some he is still grooming Virat and keep grooming  till eternity

no he has not been on any A team because his last ranji season was average. His debut season was good. This season he has started well.  Also he did play warmup against Australia, got runout unfortunately.

I meant more in the 160 category.
