SK_IH Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Why are India going in with this guy. It's apparent his bowling is of now is now. Get in Vijay Shankar Link to comment
Rightarmfast Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I have been saying the same thing for over a week and @SK_IH and others have been questioning. Either a specialist batsman or bowler, or Jadeja or Shankar are better off in the team. This guy is a big baggage. Considering we have one Dhoni posing as a batsman and keeper. Link to comment

Vijay Shankar for sure. Some people have already written him off as batsman, he is better than many think. Switchblade, Ankit_sharma03, Gollum and 1 other 4 Link to comment
G_B_ Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 he bowled literally 1 over and yet to bat in the tournament. I think its fair that over the course of the round robin we will know for sure. WeStMiDz and Adi BB 2 Link to comment

Don’t need players who need multiple scenarios to fall in place before they can be useful. Less said about his fielding the better and his bowling novelty has worn out. In fact lasted longer than it should Edited June 9, 2019 by maniac Link to comment

Vijay Shankar is not the solution but the only available alternative. I would have said Jadeja who has more worth than both, but his batting is horrible. I would give Shankar a go. His fielding and bowling both are definitely better than Jadhav Link to comment

Jadhav is the ONLY international cricketer in the world to have international and domestic batting average above 40 and strike rate above 100.. Both in domestics and international... That's unheard off!!! His bowling is a plus.. He is thousand times better than Jadeja respectfully disagree, Jaddu is 10000x better fielder / fitness is top notch/bowler..Jadhav is a better batsman maybe. Link to comment

His fielding and bowling both are definitely better than Jadhav but shankar's batting is not. I remember Jadhav's 120 against Eng where he made even VK look ordinary in comparison. The fact is that he's a specialist batsman who can bowl 2-3 overs, nothing more. I agree his fielding is a big liability, but his primary purpose in the team is to bat. We have done well in these 2 matches, due to which his role appears minimal. Link to comment
Sean Bradley Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Kedar Jadhav comes from a big lobby and its impossible a dislodge someone who feeds breakfast to the former captain, might possibly be changing diapers of Jr. Thala, i mean i am no one to comment on the personal bromance and whatever, but it cant go to an extent where you carry someone in the National team simply because he's a chaatu, i thought chaatugiri was limited to the corporates and but i have been proven wrong pretty badly.

GautiMaan Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Now that they have started with Jadhav and he atleast appears to be fit,he should be persisted with.Today every batsman we sent out clicked and made a score,this wont happen always,if Jadhav fails badly when his turn comes then Shankar should be brought in Link to comment
SK_IH Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I have seen Vijay Shankar smack Ferguson for boundaries on variety of shots in last A tour. He has potential and has definitely more utility than Jadhav. Jadhav's bowling is utter crap, his bubble burst in that Aus series at home. Ankit_sharma03 1 Link to comment

Sean Bradley Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 He din't inflict any runout, it was a misjudged second by warner, and kohli tried him for an over with the ball and had enough of him, with the bat he has never instilled any confidence, he is injury prone, keeps more deserving players out due to his PR skills. The only reason hes in the team is because he may string a 50 odd run parnership with dhoni in a tight run chase and make dhoni look good. AK007 1 Link to comment
zen Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Jadhav/Shankar should be played only IF they are in good batting form Link to comment
Adi BB Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 More than kedar I want Raul to get spend some time in the middle so that we get a reliable top 4 not only top 3 . Kedar will be used as a floater,the best thing is pandya has showed he can be more than just a hitter ,he can come in the middle overs and give you a push ,so the role of kedar is not fixed only at #5 Link to comment

I6MTW Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) Jadeja can be in place of Jadhav. England is probably the only place outside of India where Jadeja will provide some utility. If Jadhav can't bat, bowl or field then Jadeja is the best option. Also if Jadeja plays, no need for 3 spinners. If Kuldeep doesn't come back to form then, I'd play Shami in place of Kuldeep, especially against asian sides. Edited June 9, 2019 by I6MTW Link to comment
