zen Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 2 minutes ago, Tibarn said: Compare the teammates domestic records: KL Rahul and Manish Pandey and it appears our management has reversed selection of the two. Pandey has better List A and First Class numbers, while Rahul has better IPL/T20 numbers. Maybe Manish Pandey should've been tried in Tests before Rahul. Rahul opens though in domestic if I am not wrong, while Pandey plays in the middle order Tibarn 1 Link to comment
Adi BB Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I'll still stick with Raul for the future but he has to introspect Link to comment
prasen82 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) I think if we lose this , let's start with shaw and vihari. Move pujara to open anyways he is in by 3rd over. Drop dhawan and kl rahul. Or open with pant as stop gap option. And shaw can come for aussie tour. Edited September 2, 2018 by prasen82 Link to comment
Yoda-esque Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 WhenI was a kid ( which was a long time ago), there was this opener called Vikram Rathore.Rahul reminds me of him.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk Switchblade 1 Link to comment

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk This is harsh. Rahul looks better than rathore. But he needs to go back to reality. All this ipl hype,superstardom, gq shoots seems to have messed his head. Needs to be relegated to ranji and made to come up the ranks.test cricket selection should be purely based on ranji and outside A tour's . Enough of the styling and too much twitter/instagram. He is not a kohli to balance everything. Link to comment

GolGappe Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Brute of a delivery But not even a single half century in 8 completed innings. The biggest let-down of the series. Still believe that he can offer more to Indian cricket than Dhawan and should open along with Shaw in dead rubber. Link to comment

He is not a kohli to balance everything. He looks better than him because of media overload, t20,tattoos,ipl.Remember that this is the era where words like amazing,mind blowing are dropped around easily.No, he still reminds me of Rathore.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk Frustrated, UrmiSinhaRay, asterix and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment

Frustrated Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 He can't be the next Kohli even in the LOI format where he is still inconsistent. Forget about tests. Moreover, this has put an end to the debate of Kohli not picking Rahul due to jealousy, as some posters were claiming few months ago. UrmiSinhaRay and Switchblade 2 Link to comment
SK_IH Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 They should persist with him in future series but he needs to be axed for the last test.His mode of dismissals are playing on his mind,he is basically a walking wkt at the moment. Cricketics 1 Link to comment
Lannister Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Should be given a chance ahead of useless Dhawan in the last match. As of now, we have 3 Test openers. Rahul, Shaw and Agarwal. All 3 should be selected for Australia tour, with one acting as a backup option. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Axing will do him more good than keeping him in the squad and not playing. You get the temptation to play him when he is in the squad. It helped Zaheer/Kohli/Yuvi staging a comeback after getting dropped. express bowling and UrmiSinhaRay 1 1 Link to comment

TNAmarkFromIndia Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 Might as well drop him for Shaw in the final Test. Switchblade and UrmiSinhaRay 1 1 Link to comment
Straight Drive Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Doubt any of the flops in last 4 months want to be dropped for WI series. It's a perfect series to give everyone a feel that the batsmen are well in form and that the performances in tough series was just a drop in form. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
rtmohanlal Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 the need of the hour is to find Gangulys & Dravids & even Sachins who straight away become a huge success in their first or 2nd tour to SENA. For that talented youngsters need to be given chances at very young age and trial and error method needs to be done consistantly until we find a few such players to fix the top 6.When tried and tested failures like Dhawan, Pujara & Kartik are given such extended runs, these are going to happen.
