Rishabh Pant's batting (ok, if you are a Dhoni Cham cha then you already know that anyone that dons WK gloves in India without name MSD is not ready yet). I don't think he's faced enough balls for us to see what he's about. Rishabh Pant's wicket keeping Vijay Shankar's batting Washington Sundar's batting Siraj's bowling Deepak Hooda's batting It seems our management are very backward when it comes to selection and giving confidence to new players. It's a shame, because a useless series like this could have had a silver lining of establishing new players. Opportunity lost. G_B_, Sgattick10, Rasgulla and 8 others 2 6 2 1 Link to comment

Need of the hour for india is 1) Wicket keeper batsmen 2) Seam bowling allrounder 3) Seam bowlers Considering above, following should have been done Pant - Should have given a continuous go thru out the series. Couple of bad games and he is out. Vijay - He should be send at the top of the order, to see his batting potential Sunder - Same - should have been send at the top of the order. Siraj - Genuine pace bowler and should be given a continuous go. Winning seems to be the only motive....

Laaloo Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 We already know what we have in dhawan and Rohit. Can they drop down the order and give chances to pant or Vijay and others? Georgejed and mancalledsting 1 1 Link to comment
tweaker Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 In remaining matches Dhawan, Raina, DK, Pandey should make way for Rishabh, Siraj, Hooda,. Rahul, Rishabh & Shankar should get opportunity to bat in top 4 mancalledsting 1 Link to comment

Vilander Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I think Rohit wants to win the series, as he might be fancying his chances as t20 captain, looking at the way Kohli is complaining about workload, it might be possible that he might abdicate one of the formats..but will it be t20 you never know with the IPL t20 is an important format.

mancalledsting Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Rohit has horrible body language for a captain. I remember when Mumbai were losing IPL final he just sat in the dug out looking like he was waiting for the game to be over. God help Indian cricket if he ever gets appointed. Link to comment
mancalledsting Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Again no Pant and Hooda today, crazy! Link to comment
The Dark Horse Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) 1. DK is the best T20 keeper-batsman in T20s. 2. Sundar and Shankar are good prospects, should be given chances to bat. 3. Rohit is a decent captain. 4. Unadkut is crap. 5. Pant needs more time. Edited March 14, 2018 by The Dark Horse Link to comment
mancalledsting Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 So Rohit and Dhawan put 70 on the board after 10 overs!! This approach is so damaging. How are they able to get away with such low strike rates and poor intent. Plus it stops us from seeing how the youngster do. Waiting for Pandey to come in and eat up loads of balls now.

joe777z Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 1. When 2,3 balls left to score, India has DInesh karthick as the first choice player to be sent. 2. Ind don’t have any big hitters at lower middle order despite having Ipl Link to comment

Austin 3:!6 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 First of all I felt bad for Rohit Sharma that he had to lead a team consisting of few players who not even play in associate teams. The lessons learned are the below players are not international class and should never play for India (irrespective of opponents): 1)Unadkat 2)Siraj 3)Thakur Rishabh Pant not ready yet and need couple of more years in domestic. He is no Sehwag that he thinks he can hit every ball out of the park. Sundar and Shankar are interesting prospects. Chahal needs a little kick in the back. Link to comment

velu Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 * rohit will be a default selection in LoIs , even if he doesnt score * dhawan sealed his T20 slot and certain in ODIs * raina is good for T20s , might sneak in ODIs as well ( which is not a good news ) * sundar is a good prospect * vijay shankar seems to be a decent containing bowler * pandey will get extended run becuase of his performance ( jadhavs loss which is a good news ) sarcastic 1 Link to comment
