Nitish Rana is an astonishing hitter. He hits better than Pant and he is no slogger. Worth a gamble to test him in internationals. We desperately need a hitter in the middle order.

I agree...  That boy has muscle as well as decent strike rotation game plus a left hander which we desperately need in middle order.

Exactly..  Selectors should've picked Nitish Rana who at least is a big hitter & can bowl spin.

He has a huge short ball problem.

Agreed! Glaring problem with short balls. And also is an inferior shot maker compared to Pant and Pandya. The lesser said about his bowling, the better.

 

Don't think we have anyone better than Jadeja for the role atm. Krunal, Axar and Sundar are all inferior options atm.

Today, everyone gets hit by power hitters. Rabada was a flop in the WC, Archer got tonked for 15 yesterday and Starc went for 73 against us. 

 

Just because they may get hit is no reason to call them average or below average when even the very best are leaking runs. 

 

No more testing Saini. If he is bowling 150+, he should be in the team over Bhuvi or Shami. Period.

 

There are maybe 8-10 bowlers in the world ATM bowling at that pace, why should we waste him on these "A" matches. But guess what, that's exactly what we'll do and then bring him in when he is hurt or post injury, bowling in low 140s and claim he was never any good. 

 

Stupid Indian selectors.

Sorry, but he needs to toil for a couple of more years in domestics.  Then, he should be introduced into the team on absolute road pitches as part of a character building process.  Then, when he gets thrashed, he can be anointed as another failure and discarded.  It worked for Siraj, Pankaj Singh and many other fast bowlers.

LOL. I get your sarcasm but Saini is different than any and all fast bowlers that we've had. He is about 10 km/h faster than any you've mentioned. Consistently. 

 

If there was ever a case for a bowler to be fast tracked in India, this is it.

Avesh traps the batter LBW with a really quick ball that seams in.  He has looked sharp.

 

How does he get to warm the benches while trundler D.Chahar plays all the games. !!

Answer: the Dhoni effect, whereby the selection of half-assed trundlers who are "accurate" (which they are not) over genuine pace bowlers with potential is favored.

Fast tracked? He is already playing FC cricket for last 5 years, India A 2 years. It's not fast tracked. Fast tracked was Khaleel, already played for India at 21 without much FC experience.
