The XI I see being picked (not my choice but the one I expect)

 

Rohit

Dhawan

Raina

Pandey

Karthik

Hooda/Pant/Sundar

Shankar

Axar

Thakur

Unadkat

Chahal

 

KL Rahul as the reserve opener obviously.

 

Not so sure about that. Rohit is the captain remember. He usually makes sensible selections and gives opportunities to guys.

Karthik is well ahead of Pant in the hierarchy as a wk-batsman. The team management have made it clear time and again. However, this squad lacks a middle order option like Iyer so they may be forced to pick Pant as a specialist batsman at 6.

They have clearly decided that Karthik is the designated backup to Dhoni in ODIs, at least up to 2019.  If that's the case, then its best if he keeps getting opportunity and practice at the int'l level till then.  

 

Ideally I wouldn't want to see either him or Manish Pandey in the T20 team.  Pandey is good for ODIs, not T20s as much.  I would go as far as to say that Karthik is a better bet in T20s with the bat than Manish.  And I say that as someone who actually sympathizes with Pandey.

They clearly have which is what makes this series tricky. If Karthik sucks throughout and if Pant makes the most of 1-2 opportunities he gets, will they still stick with Karthik until 2019? I guess they can looking at what they've done with Rahul :((. Interesting times ahead.

Positives:

Pace bowlers rested.

Karthick as first choice wkt kpr and Pant the back up.

Batting is good.

Bowling decent.

Slowni out.

 

Negatives:

Two allrounders. They do not work and so get specialists.

Jaddu should have been in the team.

 

Overall selectors get a A-. Not bad.

Good squad , as much as i wanted but i knew their wont be radical changes 

 

1. Dhawan shudnt have been the vice captain, raina was a better choice. Has done well as captain in IPL

2. Missed krunal.....big mistake

3. for the sake of spinner i hope pant is selected ahead of karthik, kathik is not a good keeper against spinners and then he also hasnt kept wickets for a long long time now. Remeber asia cup in 2014. 

I really d pray for chahal n sundar career

 

4. I hope rohit gives rahul chances, he is a good captain n made a lot of good calls in SL series i hope he puts his faith in Rahul again. 

5. Khaleel or kulwant shud have been really looked at , i wud have also preferred thampi over siraj or thakur 

6. Will be a huge test for manish pandey as well. 

 

 

My starting lineup

 

1. Dhawan

2. Rohit

3. Raina

4. Rahul

5. shankar

6. Hooda

7. Pant ( i knw its to low for him but i dnt see place above unless we sit dhawan out)

8. Sundar

9. Chahal

10. unadkat

11. Siraj

8. Sundar

9. Chahal

10. unadkat

11. Siraj

Why Unadcutter? Thakur sahab better than him.

Also, Hooda at 6 is also not suitable. It's Shankar vs Hooda and I would pick Shankar tbh and bat him at 3, 4 or 5. I will push Raina at 5, 6 or 7 since he can get going from ball one.

 

My team:

 

Sl basher + captaan

Gabbar

Shankar

Rahul

Pant/Raina

Raina/Pant

Axar

Sundar

Chahal

Siraj

Thakur

left arm variety and then will help get some rough for off spinner n i have 3 - raina, hooda, n sundar

His cutter will be better in those condition 

 

Raina for me has to bat at 3

Raina at 3 is great. But we may not want to put Pant, hooda and Shankar at 5, 6 and 7 and when they throw bat at everything be called useless hacks. Raina has capability to hit from ball one. He can do good at any position in t20.  We need to make new guys feel a bit more comfortable and not put them under the bus.

1st thing we knw pant wont even get a chance, as karthik wud be preffered

I dont think that way of them calling hacks , yea but many wud 

 

I agree wid ur point n i wnt mind sending pant opening in few games but no point having such fantasies it wont happen . M Being practical n hoping that they get a chance in 1st place.

 

I knw , no way wud dhawan, rohit or raina leave this Langar of making runs
