G_B_ Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Does not have either the bowling or batting to be a contributor. A limited run of the mill player Frustrated, UrmiSinhaRay, Rightarmfast and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment
sandeep Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 You could well be right, but got to be fair. It's a bit knee-jerk to claim this after just one T20 game. More than a bit actually. Cricketics and UrmiSinhaRay 1 1 Link to comment
SK_IH Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 We deserve the likes of Jadeja and co in our set up.BC let's give at least 5-6 matches before writing off a guy. SecondSlip 1 Link to comment
SK_IH Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 In the next game, there is a big selection dilemma, both Krunal and Khaleel will be hard pressed to finish their quota.Rahul may get the axe or may be Krunal.Lets see who gets dropped. Stan AF 1 Link to comment
sandeep Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 It will be interesting to see how Virat reacts to this game. His pattern as captain has been very consistent in terms of "backing" the players once picked. By that logic, Krunal should not be axed just due to one bad game. BUT, Virat badly wants to win against Oz. So much so that he let them get inside his head and affect his game in the home test series. He might get desperate and go against his pattern. Let's see what happens. I expect to see Chahal back in the team at Krunal's expense. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Pollack Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Krunal is neither technically sound batsman nor a specialist spinner. No prizes for guessing. He still may be the one of the best option for the upcoming world cup. Kedar and Krunal should fight it out for the position. Lower order hitters are required and krunal can be handy. Pitches would be most probably batsmen friendly and even a hack can manage pretty well at 6-7 position. UrmiSinhaRay and G_B_ 2 Link to comment
Moochad Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Pandya needs an extended run, maybe 10 consecutive matches before we write him off, just to see if he can get his footing with teh ball I am confident with his batting, he showed he can bat in the IPL which has similar tracks to whatever we will face in WT20. The bowling is what is the x-factor, whether he is a good bowlers against Indian domestic bats only or can also bowl against International quality bats as well. When you replace a quality bowler like Chahal, you need to reach a high standard with the ball. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

ShoonyaSifar Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Based on one match? It's not that he is playing T20s for India purely on IPL performance. He performed for India A before being given an opportunity for the national side. rahulrulezz, UrmiSinhaRay and Pollack 2 1 Link to comment
raki05 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 God when can we have an yuvi or young Raina kind of hitter in lower order all the new one are either hack or too one dimensional... Switchblade, UrmiSinhaRay and G_B_ 2 1 Link to comment

We have 3 world class LOI bowlers in Bumrah, Kuldeep, Chahal but our problem is that they are all stiffs with the bat in these formats UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
Nikhil_cric Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Brainless one dimensional player based on the evidence so far. Simply darts it faster and faster which allowed Australian batsmen to camp on the backfoot and smash him. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
prasen82 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 TPitches are big go with two specialist spinners, bumrah , bhuvi and krunal. Krunal is your fifth bowler not 3rd or 4th. Too harsh on him . T20 requires at least 3 all-rounders in team. Sadly we are too short on that . 5 specialist bats , 3 all rounders and 3 specialist bowlers. Sadly we have three/4 free loaders every match - 2 on batting and 2 on bowling. Difficult to recover . UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
Laaloo Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 It's one game bro. We gave 11 years for jadja to prove himself and he's still a hack with the bat. UrmiSinhaRay and rahulrulezz 1 1 Link to comment
jf1gp_1 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I was never in favor of krunal but now that he is in team you have to give him a fair run which means 8-10 games at the very least. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Common man, Jadeja won you CT with his bowling , I don't know why people are so against Jadeja.You think Jadeja is worse than Pandya??? Mind you Pandya will not have much to do with bat.

I don't think so, in T20s he will very rarely get any opportunity to bat more than 3 overs and if he bowls like he did today he will not have that many chance to showcase his batting this is not Mumbai Indians.

That would allow us to pick Bumrah, Kuldeep, Chahal, and another quality pacer as our 4 primary bowlers. Jadhav and Hardik are serviceable, but not enough to make up that 5th bowler slot in ODIs. Need one more. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
