Management must stick with Shikhar Dhawan: VVS Laxman

[Ankit_sharma03]

“India must stick with Shikhar Dhawan for the first Test. He looked in very good touch in the limited-overs games, and made a hundred in the first session of the game in his last Test appearance, against Afghanistan. He must be encouraged to go out and play freely, without the fear of failure weighing on his mind, because that’s when he is at his most dangerous. Shikhar can take the game away from the opposition very early, and if he can stamp his authority on James Anderson and Stuart Broad, it will neutralise England’s biggest threats,” Laxman, who played 134 Tests for India, opined.

Man, Dhavan has unleashed no holds barred PR campaign...

He doesn’t needs to actually... As long as his wife is in the WAGs friend circle of Anoushka, he shouldn’t worry too much of his place in the team...

KL bats at a much higher s/r how is he not an impact player 

Left right se pehle a player a shud be able to take his place in team, did australia care about langer n hayden both being leftie

SRH affinity talking.

left right combination ke naam pe kisi ko bhi khila lo. I would not be so unhappy if they still play Rahul instead of Pujara who has been in terrible form

[sensible-indian]

Here, Laxman had to support Dhawan. Compulsions.

 

But even otherwise, he is a horrible analyst.

 

Was praising Rahane's knock in WT20 SF during break when it was clear that he had screwed the team.

 

Many ICFers would be better analysts than 90% of our ex-cricketers whose knowledge and understanding level is very basic.

I agree with Laxman. You cant drop a batsman who just created a record by scoring a century before lunch in last test. He must play the first test at least. I would drop either Vijay or Pujara to accommodate Rahul.

[beetle]

This is not ipl vvsl...

[Sandeep99]

Feel Shikhar adds more value than Pujara. Drop Pujara and play Rahul.

[coffee_rules]

Pujara is hopelessly out of form in the summer, it takes even a Pair against county second X1 from Dhawan to be opted before Pujara.

So ... he was in favour of dropping our best pacer of the 1st day by a distance !

 

Laxman's team selection are generally poor and IPL tinted.

He got angry on aakash in star show when aakash said dhawan wouldn't have played afg test if kohli was available.

He is ok..not as bad as Tendulkar (who is clearly worst of all time) when it comes to tactics and cricket acumen but also not as good as Ashwin, Kumble and dravid

There is a reason he got kicked out not once but twice from captaincy. 

[nikred]

I always notice VVS bigging up SRH players whenever he gets the opportunity. Foreign players included. Nothing wrong but I wouldn't take him seriously, there is clear bias.

Its money man, also ass licking of current corrupt management influenced them to pass Such horrible statement. It looks like they are stupid but then most of us would not mind being stupid for such a high paychecks.

Players who have obvious(or otherwise) conflict of interests  should be barred from making comments that affect indian test team selections.

+1 There is a clear conflict of interest here. 

[nikred]

And yet you had no problem when Tendulkar brought in out of shape buffet guy Ramesh Powar or Sameer dighe or Vijay Dahiya WHILE he was playing
 
At least 
 
1. Laxman is not playing 
2. Dhawan is in a different stratosphere than Ramesh teetubby Powar

I had no problem as I had no clue. I am not attacking VVS. I just understand where he is coming from. He is a fellow Hyderabadi and his dad was my mom's doctor, no way I can dislike him.
