Krunal will be useless outside the subcontinent

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.

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.

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.

I would have picked Chahal without any second thoughts if he was even at harbhajan level of batting. Someone who can smoke a few. Alas he is as good as bumrah.

I agree 100%. Chahal's bowling is very underrated on this forum. 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

 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 .

It's one game bro. We gave 11 years for jadja to prove himself and he's still a hack with the bat.

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.

Taking into account our middle order right now, I reckon he will have plenty of chances to 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.

We need at least 2 bowling options in the top 7, ideally 3.  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.
