Missing Gautam Gambhir?

[sergio04]

What a player he was.

Never choked in pressure matches.

India needs a player like him at 3 not a choker who chokes every time in semifinal.

[Laaloo]

Him yuvi and Sachin( who has a habit for playing very good knocks in SFs 

[sergio04]

I will take Gautam gambhir over choker any day at no 3

[Nikola]

Yeah but truly knocks he played were in different conditions and against different attack but still he was very clutch player.

[SrinjayDutta]

We need at least two technical batsmen at 4 and 5. Even 85 strike rate will do. Our bowling is good enough.

 

The top order melted like butter today and it was insufferable to watch.just play inside the line for 10 overs and in the v. Kartik scored runs as an opener in 2007 tests. I really hoped he would play till over 25.really disappointed.

[Ajju]

Only Clutch player along wid yuvi sehwag

[Vijy]

Agree, easy to forget how many crucial knocks he has played for India. He would be in my All time India ODI team, at 3, Virat at 4.

among 3-6, I reckon that yuvi, MSD, rat take up 3 slots. it leaves just one more - to me the only two major contenders are dravid and gauti, but I am also slightly inclined to go with gauti.

Are you kidding me ? This same clutch player would be fishing all day against Boult in even slightly favorable conditions and giving slips catch practice.  There's a reason why he was dropped from test and ODI side. He developed technical problems against seamers with the new ball and was terrible outside the off stump.

 

As always, someone who is not in the side becomes the "best" player. lol

Don't need technical bat at 5. 5, 6, 7 require big hitters.

At his best, he could play any bowler. He regressed when he was dropped.
