Let rahul open in Asia cup as well

[PSB_Zone 331]

Rahul and dhawan to go beserk from both ends and rohit comes at 3 to play the anchor role..

[Ankit_sharma03 11,383]

Was thinking same, rohit can actuallly bat at 3 , considering Amir also has a psychological edge over him

[Sgattick10 1,946]

Who'll carry the oldie middle order, need one young guy in the middle.

Who the fug cares about Asia Cup? 

[Vilander 6,646]

Are they all playing nice..thought it was all like nidhas trophy type squad..must be fun though..ind pak games.. Lots of **** talk and nervous fans lol..

[GautiMaan 490]

Rahul should bat at 3

[sarchasm 1,702]

Both Rohit and Dhawan are edgy. One eliminated from tests and the other on the verge of being eliminated.

 

And you guys expect them to vacate their comfort zone in ODIs?

 

Rahul will play at 3. This means regardless of whether he succeeds or fails, Kohli will take back his rightful place. And KL Rahul will have to live with uncertainty regarding his ODI place. Especially if Pandey and Jadhav somehow manage to get runs as well.

 

Abominable? Yes. But this is Indian cricket.

I am not sure if Rahul is even a certainty once Kohli gets back. There is no point in him playing Asia cup, especially when Rohit and Dhawan are captain and Vice captain for the tournament. They will make sure to undermine him at every opportunity.

He is an important member of the side in Asia cup and will bat at 3 so why would they undermine him in fact under Rohit KL has got more chances than under Kohli in Odi’s.

No, he should be opening the innings. He can give us a better start compared to those two. But that is not important here, as it's about individuals not about team's cause.

I have always wanted Pant/KL to open in LOIs . I like Dhawan in ODIs , but pant and KL in PPs can take the game away from opposition .

Our aim should be beat Pakistan in Asia cup. Can we pls keep these regional differences away for once and focus what is good for the team?

[Switchblade 7,356]

Pakistan game is not be all and end all that it will be the end of the world losing to them.

Who said its be all and end all? But just to show ourselves secular, we cant say we dont care and all. Tab khelna hi nehi chahiye tha. The aim should be winning Asia cup....does not matter if its Pak or SL or BD.

Will b difficult to win with bs middle order 

[Sandeep99 1,052]

Rohit

Dhawan -- you can't move these two until '19 WC anyway. No point in tinkering.

Rayudu -- he's going to be dropped anyway, let him play at no.3 instead of tinkering with other positions.

Rahul -- let him play at the position he will be expected to play after Kohli comes back.

Jadhav -- better than Pandey and call roll arm if required

Dhoni -- hmm, one more chance for the youngster to practice

Pandya -- deserving ODI player, hopefully, should start delivering.

Bhuvi -- he will be fresh, play him ahead of Bumrah

Khaleel -- just to spice it up and the addition of some raw pace

Kuldeep

Chahal -- Well, let's test these against lineups that can actually play them well.

[bowl_out 2,007]

Like Rohit, the captain is going to let him

[Adi BB 1,291]

I'd bat pandya at 5 ,jhadav and dhoni below him
