Our lower middle order :Cry: 

Today we might have scored 325++ if we had prime UV/Dhoni batting together.

 

#4 - Vacant :wall: 

#5 - Vacant  :wall: 

#6 - Vacant :wall: 

#7 - Pandya :yess: 

 

we got 3 vacant batting positons which can be taken by anyone.

Dhoni can take one of the vacant psotions ( possibly #4 :p: ) .

 

Need to find 2 lower middle order batsmen who can score from the ball 1 as soon as possible.

Rahul or Pant should take #4. Preferably Rahul. Gill is very exciting, but he is not ready yet. No point throwing him to the wolves so early in his career.

#5 should go to Hooda or Shankar, both can bat decently enough and pitch in with the ball too.

#6 should be Krunal Pandya. Can play according to situation and accelerate too. See IPL 2017 final innings where he scored 40-odd and played the match-winning innings. Also, he bowls very economically. On top pof all this, he is also a left handed batsman, the kind of which India are lacking in the current XI. Must be tried asap in ODIs & T20s imo.

 

This way we have 7 bowlers : 4 proper bowlers, Pandya bros & Shankar/Hooda. :yess:

How is Gill to be no 4 already, I don't think he is ready nor is Shaw. let them play domestic cricket and IPL first.

Agreed. No point throwing them to the wolves so early. This forum is full of guys who are in complete support of a guy when they see him perform well in a match and hype him to the moon. Then abandon him when he starts struggling. A recent eg. is Rahane, when he scored 80-odd in the first or second ODI, many guys were over the moon, wanting him to open the innings and be a permanent fixture in the team. Now, the same guys have turned on him. These guys simply forget the past of a cricketer, and simply jump on the hype train without thinking about anything else. :no:

KL\Gill/Pandya if persited with will all be good there

You mean Krunal Pandya right? If so agree. KL is a good option too. Gill I feel needs a couple more years. This is the lineup I'd like to see for the 2023 WC:

 

KL Rahul

Risabh Pant (wk) 

Virat Kohli (c)

Shubman Gill

Deepak Hooda / Vijay Shankar

Krunal Pandya

Hardik Pandya

Kamlesh Nagarkoti

Kuldeep Yadav

Yuzvendra Chahal

Jasprit Bumrah

 

As for 2019 WC, I'd go with:

 

Rohit Sharma
Shikhar Dhawan

Virat Kohli (c)

KL Rahul

Rishabh Pant / MS Dhoni (if they are hell bent on picking him)

Krunal Pandya

Hardik Pandya

Kuldeep Yadav

Bhuvneshwar Kumar / Mohd. Shami

Jasprit Bumrah

Yuzvendra Chahal
