mani sha Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Now that dhawan is injured - choices for next two games are interesting open with - karthik this is to ensure Rahul continues at crucial no 4 . Looking at today’s Pakistan game with aamir running into form , we need king kohli and Rahul to do well against pak ( I am expecting Rohit to be out for 20 Max ) Karthick for all his weaknesses has played left arm and fast bowlers well over the years in his limited short decent patches of form . shankar is at best a replacement for Kedar ... if Kedar injured then bring Shankar in . What do u guys think ? Ps defeating pak is vital as it almost knocks them off . bendit100 1 Link to comment

Karthik has even opened in tests. But this Karthik is not the same batsman anymore. Batting technique has evolved and changed a lot since then. Besides, KLPD is widely acknowledged as the 'next man up' to get his chance to open in ODIs. Its what he wants, and is very unlikely that any other "out of the box" is realistically considered at this point. Link to comment
Ankit_sharma03 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 karthik only good to bat at 6 or 7 MCcricket 1 Link to comment
Austin 3:!6 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Karthik over Shankar anyday. World cup is a not a place to experiment and Shankar has not proven anything. anish2tweet, Khota, mani sha and 1 other 1 1 2 Link to comment
Vilander Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 since its WC only tried and tested ( even if failed) will be used. So its KLR to open. And KKD replacing in the middle order ( or if TM is adventurous Pant). I thnk Shankar will come in only as a replacement for Jhadav. mani sha 1 Link to comment

Feel Rahul Pandya Dhoni and Kedar perhaps are giving us the final flourish we were lacking last two years karthick if clicks can be a decent asset as it’s a long tournament and we have Kedar and golden Dhoni who are injury prone team Mgt has though done it right is getting pant to be the massage man for now .

Check Karthik in recent times never stood up when collapses have happened of u need solidity Shankar did it twice and thats why he is WC squad , also shankar is 10 times better fielder then karthik and can bowl to Karthik is only good in run chase where large number of runs is not req but High RR is ok with bendit100 and nevada 2 Link to comment
Soorma_Bhopali Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 In place of Shikhar , we should play Shami for next few matches . We have under-utilized Kedar so far and especially on batting wickets, you should be fine with 5 batsmen + 1 all-rounder. This will give more depth to our bowling . If it's an overcast day , then get Karthik to play in place of Kuldeep . Link to comment
CoverDrive Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Problem is Karthik has shown horrible form recently so Shankar maybe picked though it is not like he is is some great form but atleast you have an additional bowling option Link to comment

In tough batting conditions for stability its Shankar, in good batting conditions for small short burst its Karthik. Its wierd, they both suck in the other persons game.

Actually if karthik wants to get in its shud be for jadhav not shankar Karthik is a lower middle order batsman and shankar middle order batsman. Karthik has no buss batting at 4 Link to comment
sage Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Rohit should open on his own. Let Bumrah or something come out. Give Rohit instructions to take all the strike Switchblade and Vilander 2 Link to comment
