The Dark Horse Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Pujara is no better than Dhawan, albeit at a slower SR. DK has played well in England - that will strengthen our batting. 1. Vijay 2. Dhawan 3. Rahul 4. Kohli 5. Rahane 6. DK 7. Pandya/Ashwin Vilander, bowl_out, saik and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Dhawan deserves the place more than Pujara. Vijay Dhawan Nair/Pujara Kohli Rahul Rahane Pant Ashwin/Kuldeep Yadav/Shami depending on fitness Bumrah/Shami Ishant Won't play Pandya. If needed Ashwin will be AR as he is better test bat than Pandya. If Ishant and Yadav play then 4 bowlers are enough as both are very fit to bowl whole day. Vilander 1 Link to comment

Lannister Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Vijay (I will give him just one test to see how he performs) Rahul Rahane Kohli Nair (I would've liked someone like Gill or Vihari) Ashwin Pant Ishant Kuldeep Umesh Shami * Bumrah will come back straight in for the second match. * Pujara is a backup option for middle order.

Nikhil_cric Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Dhawan Rahul Rahane Kohli Nair Pant Pandya Ashwin Should give us enough depth and firepower to get us to scored of 350-400 or more even in England. Link to comment

philcric Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Indian batting has never been this unsettled in the last 18 years. Part of it is their own undoing (wrong selections, unnecessary tinkering) and part of it is loss of form/fitness of a player or two. I'd play my best players in the middle order and keep it constant. Rahul, Kohli and Rahane at 3,4,5. Won't tinker with it at least for 4 innings, if not more. For the 1st test, if the pitch looks normal (not too green, too dry or too flat), I'd play 6 batsmen + WK + 1 spinner + 3 pacers, and make required changes from 2nd test. From the selected squad, Vijay (I'd have preferred P Shaw but he isn't in the squad) Dhawan (Based on his current good form and bad form of few others) Rahul * Kohli Rahane Karthik + Pant Kuldeep / Ashwin Shami Ishant Umesh That's a sorry looking team. Missing a few first choice players, don't know Shami's fitness and mental state. Most likely we would get a phainty in the 1st test. If everyone was fit and available for selection, this would have been my playing XI .. P Shaw S Dhawan K Rahul * V Kohli A Rahane + D Karthik / R Pant H Pandya / R Ashwin (based on pitch) B Kumar K Yadav J Bumrah U Yadav Link to comment
Khota Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Vijay cannot buy runs. Pujara has a great potential. I am sick of it. DK what more does he have to do? Link to comment
RAZPOR Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Dhawan(i will give him one test ,he can score quickly if he gets in and thats a thing i like about him) Vijay Rahul kohli rahane dk/pant(don't mind either) Pandya/ashwin(based on pitch) k yadav/ashwin/jadeja shami Ishant/bhuvi(only if bhuvi is fully fit) Umesh/bumrah(if bumrah is available) Vilander 1 Link to comment

Sgattick10 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 If Shaw was part of the team, would have been my no 3. Anyway... My 11 Dhawan Rahul Nair Kohli Rahane Panth Ashwin Kuldeep Ishant Shami Umesh Nair would score more then Pujara right now. Link to comment
Khota Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Dhawan Rahul Kohli rahane Nair DK Ashwin Jadeja Kuldeep Ishant Umesh Those 5 bats give India the best chance. 3 spinners is teh way to go 2 pace should be enough. english wkts are poor. Shoot for batting practise and playing 4 sessions. Always bat first. Link to comment
