putrevus Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 There is no opener who is good enough to replace either Sharma or Dhawan. Guys like Shaws and Gill are not even 1/100th level of those two. India will go as far their top three will take them. Mayank could be good no4 as he plays spin well but how good is he in rotating strike we don't know. Link to comment
rkt.india Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 why do you want to open the back? Link to comment

You need a versatile player not duds like Rahane, Rayadu. I would not have worried too much if our no.5 and no.6 were very strong. We have Dhoni and Jadhav. Pandya is also a pure gamble at 7. He could go either way. Then 4 rank tailenders. This is why no.4 has to be a pure batsman with aggressive mindset. Shankar is doing a good job. But is he tested enough there? India has a team that is capable of collapsing in every single match. Austin 3:!6 1 Link to comment

Lol 1/100, do you want to place bet Shaw will outscore Dhawan in this IPL at better SR? zen 1 Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Pant could come in place of Jadhav. He is as bad a fielder as him. Just that Pant can't side spin. Only reason Jadhav is relevant because of that dibbly dobbly side spin. Link to comment

Rohit-Dhawan indeed being a great servant for Indian cricket but they are clearly struggling for form. In Rohit's case...its not even form, its the age issue where he has lost that hand eye co-ordination. These days he just block block and then skies one up in an attempt to play pull shot. He has lost that aesthetic timing which he was once so gifted. Rohit is having the same issues as Sehwag had 5 years ago. 5 years ago, Dhoni sensed it, dropped Sehwag , opened with an young Rohit in CT 2013 and rest is history. Kohli needs to be visionary like him and select players on form and not by name. Link to comment

Mayank is in form but we have no clue if he can succeed. India will go as far those top three take them.If they collapse like they did in CT finals or 2015 semis, India has no chance. This Indian team is very unbalanced team . Link to comment

That is not an exaggaration, for this world cup who is better bet , Dhawan and Sharma or any other guys you named .2013 Rohit had already played for four years. Dhawan was coming off great home season.Sehwag and Gambhir both were dropped after home season and Sharma did open the last odi in that season. That was gamble which paid off do you think you have anyone close to that now even if the captain is willing to take gamble when you have so many holes in this team.Why do you want to break up one of the strengths of this team and try unknown.

jf1gp_1 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 who in right mind would select someone to debut in world cup. Mayank and Shaw are out. I would go with one of pant or kartik servers dual purpose. Link to comment
putrevus Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Kohli has to be Kohli for this team to win, now a days I am seeing he is getting out early in chases. Link to comment

Shaw migtht be good, but we have not seen him in internationals enough. This is why people keep crying for newer players to be tried earlier, that never happened. Link to comment

He is merely an utility player who MAY come good in specific scenarios. Not a consistent threat to any opposition. No team is going to be sweating over this guy like Yuvraj or even Raina who came at 5 and 7. Link to comment

Till now Dhawan has more runs at SR around 120 which is good enough for ODIs. Shaw has barely crossed 20. Switchblade 1 Link to comment

You can wait even for 14 matches and things won't change. Shaw is nowhere as good yet. He plays rash shots and his shot selection has been poor. Switchblade 1 Link to comment

Even when kohli was kohli in a world tournament like t20 2014, 2016...we still did not win. No one player can win u...its always team effort Link to comment
