If he fails at the WC, surely curtains for him and Biryani will be back in a flash.

biryani career is over now....he wont be picked keeping in mind the next Wc is in 2023 .

Don’t know what got in his ears but his approach was timid in the odi’s Against Aus. He was either thinking too much or not thinking at all. Played softly many a times and basically looked a deer in front of headlights. I remember his innings against Eng in first T20 when Ind toured Eng in which he won us the game single handedly. Where did that approach go ?

May be he will find his striking form in Eng.

I guess the 3d comment might hurt his chances as well.

What was brat thinking when he didn't give KLR 3 consecutive chances in the team? 13 odd ODIs in the last 4 years 

Rahane, Rayudu, Pandey, Yuvraj, Raina have played cumulative >100 matches at #4 in the same time frame and none of them are in the squad.

This .

 

And we wonder why we have a middle order problem

It would great if Rahul does. Having followed him from his  first FC game and earlier, it would be a moment to cherish his journey so far.  At #4, there's enough time for him to express himself.

Election result has caused a dip in my expectation from Rahul !

Rahul’s form and innings are the gateway to a subpar score or a competitive one.

Gaya ab Rahul....jinx kar diya Maniac ne

Plz mods or admins get this thread deleted. You know why....

Showed importance in his 1st ICC tournament game.

@maniac knows his cricket. 

[Pandya_Power]

Wonder why he gets out in that fashion (checked drive) so often? Was looking good till he got out today.

[Haarkarjeetgaye]

The no 4 slot is going to be crucial for India. 

I don’t think Rahul fits anywhere in the middle order. At worst he can play number 3, otherwise he should only open.

 

wrong day to say this but Sharma jee has wrongfully taken up a spot as opener. Either of Rahane or Rahul should be there

[coffee_rules]

So much for Rayudu being propped as #4 for WC a year ago. They could have prepared KLR for the role with a longer rope and built his confidence. Now they start WC with KLR. He looks like a mental midget. They think #4 is not critical. But, we have Dhoni coming next, who is not reliable anymore. Vijay Shankar can't make #4 , may be in some Kali Maa tournaments , but not in WC. The selection team messed up big time

After looking at his dismissal. I dont think he should play anymore for India for an experienced player like it was a bad dismissal. 

[rtmohanlal]

just don't know  w.r.t why this guy is preferred over  Shankar & Rayudu or even Sheryas Iyer. He provides no confidence what so ever.

back up opener is the reason he is in WC squad.

Lack of good no 4 takes him into playing 11
