SecondSlip Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Would you guys move forward with him in the squad? I don’t think he’s as bad as a lot of people have made him look here. I still think he can cement a place in our middle order since he can be our 6th bowler as well! Pollack and ViruDilSeKhelo 1 1 Link to comment
zen Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) I would keep him in the loop as a backup option. If he improves his game, he can be considered. After the debacle in the WC, he is not going to be batting in the top 4 - likes of Agarwal, Gill, etc., could get a look in. Pant-Pandya could be slotted at 5-6. Jadeja, 30 yrs old and just two yrs older than Shankar, may get more preferences for someone batting at 7 and 8. Then there are upcoming players like Sundar, Abhishek, Rana, etc., as well.

cricketfan28 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I think he will be given chances. It is upto him. Link to comment
The Realist Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 He's no major talent. Honest trier but in reality a glorified bits & pieces player. Can bat a bit and bowl a bit but excels in neither department. If want to go places then you don't build teams around the likes of Shankar. diehardpacer, nevada, ViruDilSeKhelo and 3 others 6 Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 He was in as a temporary replacement. Now India has no choice but to prepare for 2023. They can't continue with this "experience crap". Link to comment
Khota Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 No one should be ruled out or ruled in. A smart coach who knows what he is doing will tell that all slots are open and will generate competition for all of them. diga 1 Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 TNCA, Tamilnadu state, SRH (if they like him). We need guys like Ryan Parag, Mentally stronger in crisis. I like that guy Imad wasim from Pakistan. Very limited batting range. But he stepped whenever they needed him. Link to comment

Are people really hyping him based on a couple of innings in IPL? As if the tournament hasn't had it's fair share of one-season wonders before. nevada 1 Link to comment

Dhoni was able to prolong his stay in the Indian team thanks to IPL exploits. Link to comment

Sean Bradley Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) Needs to work on his batting allot, needs a major overhaul on his mental game, team cannot afford the likes of KL Rahul VJ Shankar etc who are meek and lack mental toughness to survive Intl cricket.

ShoonyaSifar Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 His luck ran out. Never looked international class and never had any domestic or IPL numbers to be a first choice pick in WC squad. Because our team management panicked due to Pandya's injury during Asia Cup, he got his lucky break. Now back to the grind of domestic cricket for him. Can't blame anyone else but himself. Not even a 50 after 12 int'l innings (across 21 matches) reflects poorly on him. Next WC is in India, better to groom Shreyas Gopal as an all rounder. An attack of Kuldeep, Jadeja and Gopal could be deadly on home pitches. Soorma_Bhopali, Vilander and nevada 1 2 Link to comment
bowl_out Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Both Kohli and Rohit have high regards for his batting style. He hasn't got to exhibit much of it during his limited stint in Intl cricket.. The last Kohli mentioned about him was that he looks solid when he is out in the middle, but got out to a beauty from Roach. Which means it is likely that he will come back into the squad for the next tour.. more so because he has the backing from the captain and vice captain Link to comment

Remember he said great things about Rahane and Rayudu as ODI number 4 and both were out of favour within 3 months of those statements. sergio04 1 Link to comment
Vilander Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 T20 world cup and then WC in India. Building for it I don't think they will discard anyone. Link to comment
The Dark Horse Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 He's a must in tests. But really has to improve his mental strength if he has to achieve anything. Cricket_Fan, velu and ViruDilSeKhelo 1 2 Link to comment

On the basis of what? His bowling is not even good enough for ODIs, forget Tests. Will need a stellar FC season to press for a Test place. ViruDilSeKhelo 1 Link to comment

They can't continue with this "experience crap". Important for Selectors &TM to consider is his bowling useful in WC23 in Indian conditions or in flat wickets? If not then he cannot be our no.4 for WC23 as a pure batter. We will much better options than him. Hope they do not make the mistake of considering for 2-3 years & then deciding his bowling not good enough in SC conditions. Link to comment
rangeelaraja Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 He is not international class, can’t rotate strike, can’t use the long handle. Bowls 120 trundlers. There is a lot more talent in India. If he had it in his, it would have shown - like we have seen with all indian talent ViruDilSeKhelo and sergio04 2 Link to comment
