We need big hitter in slog over. Not so sure. Besides edulmumbaikarji is not done with him Edited January 23, 2019 by Vilander anish2tweet 1 Link to comment

They might need Pandya’s batting once in 10 matches but they need a fifth bowler every match. Shami if he continues to pick wickets, it would be very unfair to drop him. Bhuvneshwar/ Pandya depending on who is bowling better should be playing. Pandya if wants to become a permanent member should bowl his 4 overs every match IPl. Ideally Pandya should become good enough bowler to be third seamer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk If u drop pandya for 5th bowler like shami/bhuvi u also loose a fielder which is important in every match this ll happen only in ur world....every team needs a hitter at 7 Link to comment
Vk1 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 This Indian record or even the world record of fastest 100... Kulcha has a good chance to break it.. given that we get to play few weak teams in the world cup. I'm happy to see Shami breaking Irfan Pathan's record. Irfan must have played the weaker teams a lot to get there. Link to comment

With two balls there is not much swing nor reverse swing for pacers. Link to comment

Frustrated Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Shami, Bumrah and Bhuvi hv sealed their WC spots. One of the best indian pace trio in WC history. Middle order is our real concern, and that can be sorted out immediately if Rayudu is replaced by Gill. Link to comment
SK_IH Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 This is a predicament.Both wristys have to play, everything has to be done around them. Link to comment
CSK Fan Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 He is a must have in ODIs and if its between Bhuvi and him, Shami should play anish2tweet 1 Link to comment
mishra Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) I would like to see him working on being a pinch hitter. Send him as number 4 in events where we loose 2 quick wickets, also the spot is empty as per Kohli( Dhoni to bat at 5) Edited January 23, 2019 by mishra Link to comment

Top 3 will keep scoring runs in next 10 matches and middle order for sure will go untested. Edited January 23, 2019 by Nikola Link to comment

No improvisation. one in five game, plan will fail, you need to improvise. Problem is, we aren’t prepared to improvise. Link to comment
CoverDrive Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I think we don't have to worry too much. World Cup is going to be long tournament with quite a few big matches. We have good attack with multiple strike options. We can rotate between Kuldeep, Shami, Chahal, Bhuvi depending on conditions to form the bowling attack with Bumrah and Pandya + Kedar.

PSB_Zone Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hardik will always play due to his power hitting and fielding. Shami can play in place of either bhuvi or chahal depending on the conditions.. In condition not supporting spinners playing KUl-cha plus Jadhav is not sensible. Since our 6th bowler is also a spinner ,Shami should play in place of chahal (on seaming condition) speedheat 1 Link to comment
beetle Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 We should try to keep Shami fit for Worldcup XI. Link to comment
Norman Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I feel we should rotate the bowlers wisely in the world cup as the format is quite long. Against sub continental teams ( Pak, SL, Ban, Afg) we should play 3 pace attack with Jadeja as all rounder and any of Kuldeep/chahal whoever is in better form. Against western teams ( Aus, Nz, Eng, SAF, Win) , we should drop Shami and play both the wrist spinners with Pandya as the all rounder. It'll help players to be at their maximum fitness and fresh for the knock outs. Link to comment
GolGappe Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Bhuvi, Bumrah, and Shami looks like a very potent attack for WC. However, this means India will have to drop one of the wrist spinners in order to give bit of depth to batting. Hardik is a good 6th bowling option. With India's limp middle order, you can't have Kuldeep or Shami batting at 7. Link to comment

Both wristy's don't have to play against sub continental teams but a must for Sena teams. We can rotate our bowlers acc to conditions - pitch, weather, size of grounds etc. It's a nice headache to have, our bowling seem sorted, now if only we can boot out the csk players.
