gakgupta Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Haven't I enjoyed his batting today? Complete treat to eyes...no wonder he has such a huge fan following....no doubt he is intl class....Remain to see where he goes from here.....I wish he returns to indian odi side....if it happens it should be because of performances but not because of history or his close friends at high places Sent from my Lenovo A7020a48 using Tapatalk beetle 1 Link to comment

Cricketics Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 This is how he always play, whether chubby it slim. Good for t20 and would probably would still be a bad choice fof 50 overs, if picked, who knows no one knows. Best is to just play him in t20s and play other younger players in 50 overs.

He is 30, not 36. Rohit at similar age is still trying cement his test spot as youngster. sandeep, ravishingravi, Ironhide and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment
mancalledsting Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Should be picked for ODI World Cup as a squad player (can be used as sub fielder every game as his fielding is really special). If injuries/poor form take hold, can be employed at no.6 as lower order hitter (as times the ball from early on and plays at high strike rate). Must not play higher than 5 as that will accentuate his flaws vs high quality pace and spin bowling Vilander 1 Link to comment
jalebi_bhai Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I think the issue more than anything was complacency. Technically, he still camps too much on the backfoot expecting the short ball so I'm not sure about bringing him back for 50 overs. Playing Raina at 3 with the license to hit followed by Kohli at 4 is the way to go I feel. Plus, he gives you a decent 6th bowler option. chewy 1 Link to comment
Cricket_Fan Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 He is miles better than anyone we have at the moment for that number 5 postion in ODI.Can hit from ball one , clutch as they come and a gun fielder. DHONI_FANN, Ironhide, nevada and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment

RAZPOR Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 he is always an asset in t20s and could be one on odis too. Link to comment

kosingh Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Agree that he is way ahead of other options at 5. I am not a huge Raina fan, but compared to to the alternatives, he is Bradsmaneque! Link to comment
jf1gp_1 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 If he can play like he did in 3rd t20 then we need him ODI team as well. Cant do worst than Jadav. Link to comment
Vk1 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 How did junior Thala fare against junior dala yesterday? Nobody should be convinced unless he does well against 145+ bowlers. Even Yuvi can now do well against medium Pacers. Link to comment

Must not play higher than 5 as that will accentuate his flaws vs high quality pace and spin bowling Reality is that given our solid top order, if Raina and Dhoni were both competing for batting spots in ODIs, I'd pick Raina ahead of Dhoni. Indian team cannot win the world cup without a hard-striking #4/5 batsman. I keep repeating this like a broken record - top ODI units are sending out a ABDV, or a Glenn Maxwell or a Jos Buttler out at #4/5 - batsmen who score at 8+ RPO without breaking a sweat. Raina may have his flaws, but he's a guy you can expect to match that sort of run production. If not him, we need someone who can do that job in ODIs. And with all due respect to Kedar Jadhav's submarining and clever shot making, he simply doesn't inspire enough confidence for that. Link to comment

I think Kedhar Jhadav hasn't had a consistent run in the side to demonstrate his credentials. Only reason I wouldn't go for him is that by the time he flourishes, he'll be near retirement. Otherwise, with right opportunities, may do well. Sadly a lot of people disregard him because of his short stature..without even bothering to assess his cricketing credentials Link to comment

TNAmarkFromIndia Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 He should be brought back in the limited overs sides. More dependable in the middle order than anyone we've tried there since he was gone. Link to comment
