fineleg Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) As per Cricinfo (not sure how true?) Nehra will play his final international game at the Feroz Shah Kotla, which means additional rest for either Jasprit Bumrah or Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Shreyas Iyer may have to wait for the series to be won, before being given his international debut. http://www.espncricinfo.com/series/18029/preview/1120093/ They have listed a probable 11 with neither SI nor Siraj. So, both have to warm benches if series not won? C'mon give them chances in the 11 for all three T20s. At least let them get the exposure playing for India! Dont make them warm the benches.

sandeep Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 That's how Kohli operates. In the past, he has not even given debuts to squad players after series have been won. Link to comment

Rasgulla Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) Let's see Our batting for tomo Dhawan Rohit Kohli Karthik Kedar Dhoni Pandya Unless dhawan or Karthik is rested I dont see Iyer getting in... Unless bhuvi/nehra or Bumraj was rested I can't see siraj getting in. It's tough getting in first 2 T20Is Edited October 31, 2017 by Rasgulla Link to comment
wanted_desi Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I am really frustrated with Kohli as Captain, one of worst Captains around the world right now: 1) Doesn't give chances to any other young batsman, who can really make into Indian team. 2) Goes after Done and Dusted batsman, who hardly got 2-3 years left in them. 3) He is not confident in himself to even Captain the side, relies on Dhoni to lead the team when needed. 4) Almost lost the series to Pathetic Australia, if not for KL Rahul and Pujara heroic innings. In Conclusion, he is just insecure person from looks of it. He is no leader, leaders have vision and command, what Kohli has now are mediocre chamchas in the team, who know its in the best interest for them to remain so.

maniac Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) I was hoping Iyer was brought in for Dhawan or even Karthik who doesn’t belong in the T20 lineup...Nehra over Siraj well I will let it slide...farewell game for his old friend/mentor even though It shouldn’t be that way,I understand.

Jamadagni Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 So, we've got an explosive opener with an average of 20 striking at 110, the best no.4 in the world today, the beastly Manish Pandey who has a strike rate of less than 120 and the best finisher ever who always finishes off the innings explosively by striking at 120. As a result, poor KL Rahul, averaging 50 with a strike rate of 150, can't get into the XI. Our bench strength is so strong that it can even beat the main XI. Wonder how we even reached the SF and finals of the last two WT20s with this team. Oh yeah, Yuvraj was there right. Bring him back please. sergio04, wanted_desi, Mosher and 5 others 4 4 Link to comment

He won't play Rahul in the middle from statements he made few days back. With kedar not in the squad there is a slight chance Iyer can get ahead of pandey... picking pandey ahead of kedar in that squad makes no sense. Dhawan/Rahul Rohit Kohli Pandey/Iyer Karthik Dhoni Pandya That's what we are look at tomo. I don't fancy pandey's success if he bats below #4 Link to comment

fineleg Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 Kohli and Shastri messing up KL Rahul big time. Eventually, KLR will lose form and then they will cite "poor form" as a reason to sideline him? sergio04, RAZPOR and beetle 3 Link to comment

More calculated and planned, less risks. I always had this doubt. Link to comment
Jimmy Cliff Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Stats for Indian batsmen in T20Is against non-minnows. Heads need to roll if KLR isn't picked for all 3 T20Is vs NZ. Vilander, Turning_track, BeautifulGame and 3 others 6 Link to comment
