Ankit_sharma03 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Opener- Rahul No.4- shankar Shankar came in as 1st choice for No.4 and we shud stick with our plan-A, IF a top side like India panics and changes their plan-a without it being failed....well that show self doubt for no reason anish2tweet 1 Link to comment
zen Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 If TM does not want to tinker with Rahul at #4, they could try opening with someone like DK anish2tweet and ViruDilSeKhelo 1 1 Link to comment

Karthik has been termed as finishers now by TM for some time now. Who else do u think was their choice for no.4 ??? KL had to bat at no.4 in warmup coz shankar was injured and he score runs. https://www.crictracker.com/world-cup-2019-msk-prasad-names-team-indias-no-4-batsman-for-the-tournament/ and btw going by the reports shankar was suppose to bat at 4 today and rahul open Edited June 13, 2019 by Ankit_sharma03 Link to comment

On Monday, after announcing India's World Cup squad, MSK Prasad, the chairman of selectors, said that Vijay was identified as the No. 4. However, Kohli agreed with Prasad only to the extent that Vijay was a "three-dimensional" player and a better choice compared to the other options and combinations that India had tried out in the past."

jf1gp_1 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Whoever wins toss bat's first. India can chase 275 pak could chase 260. Score 300 batting first and game is yours. If track has some help then Shankar's addition as bowler also helps. Kuldeep is struggling and I wonder if jaddu will get a game to strengthen batting given new opener with shankar and kedar haven't spent any time in middle. Link to comment
Jimmy Cliff Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Shami ahead of Cooldeep is a must for this game. AuxiliA, sandsaims, AK007 and 2 others 5 Link to comment

Kohli clearly saidin last 1 yr KL is a backup opener and MSK said that to at team selection Failed in warmup so.........warmup means jackshit and young players will fail. What matters is he has quality. Our openers failed to in both warmup games not just one and people were going crazy what happend in main games AK007 1 Link to comment
Rookie123 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Shanker will play and he gives cover to 5th bowler as well Link to comment
sandeep Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Virat is a big believer in "experience". I wouldn't be surprised if he goes with DK ahead of Shankar. Vilander 1 Link to comment
Nikola Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Looking at the way our batsman have scored century, it's turn of kohli now to smack century on sunday. Link to comment

Kohli clearly saidin last 1 yr KL is a backup opener and MSK said that to at team selection What went during the warm-ups is common knowledge. The point is that when Shankar returned for the BD games, he was slotted at #5 despite KL failing in the previous game. Which is contrary to the belief that Shankar is an automatic #4 slot Quote Failed in warmup so.........warmup means jackshit and young players will fail. What matters is he has quality. Our openers failed to in both warmup games not just one and people were going crazy what happend in main games The openers have a good overall track record while Shankar has looked clueless more often than not Link to comment
YCCC Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I accept there might be a few stoppages for showers but all I ask for is a result. Been looking forward to this since I found out about my successful attempt in the ballot this time last year but deep down knew it was too good to be true and that rain would probably ruin it philcric 1 Link to comment
