Nitish Rana should get selected in our T20 team!


SecondSlip

Recommended Posts

  • Aggressive left-handed batsman
  • Solid batting technique
  • Can attack from ball 1 
  • Great player against spin bowling 
  • Very good 6 hitter 
  • Strike rate of 130+ in IPL
  • Can bat anywhere in the middle order
  • Bowls handy part-time offspin
  • Excellent fielder


Some people say that he is weak against short pitch bowling but so what? Which batsman in world cricket doesn't have a weakness and is a perfect 10/10 right now? Raina was piss poor against the short ball as well but was a brilliant T20 cricketer and one of the best we ever produced. In fact. I see a lot of similarity between these 2 players and I believe that Rana can have a similar successful T20 career as well. A player like Nitish Rana can be a match winning T20 batsman in our middle order and I would pick him over the likes of Manish Pandey any day and any time!

Krunal has already won us games overseas 

3 MOM in Aus, WI, NZ and one MOS in WI 

You cannot use that argument of man of the match ad nauseum. I was also once championing his case but over a period of time his abilities have been exposed. 

Is he a 4 overs bowler? No

Is he a match winning batsman or good enough to play as a batsman? No 

Great asset for MI but that's it. There must be a reason he was dropped for the last T20I as well.

no he isnt but still he has played cameos.....neways we need more bowling from 1 all rounder then batting his batting is jst bonus and in reality he has won matches with bowling that to in all overseas series he has played. 

 

Neways how many options do we have for those slots - guys like sky n DK cant bowl

Sorry but he is definitely not a 4 overs bowler, you must be kidding if you think so. His batting and bowling both have been exposed at intl level so far. I don't even think you can categorise him as a bowler, he has limited skill set. You must be watching different matches, if you didn't watch him hapless against short bowling in both Aus and NZ earlier in the year. I get your point about 6th bowler, but there are better batsman than this guy and sacrificing a better batsman for pedestrian all rounder is not a prudent idea.

And the next WT20 is in Aus, do not think Ind needs battery of spinning all rounders there.

  2. Against WI- 4 overs 0/23......very good eco
  3. Against Aus in Aus- 4/36.....Declared MOM
  4. In NZ- 3/28 - Declared MOM
  5. vs Aus - 1/17 in 4 overs.....very good eco
  6. Against WI - 20/1 in 4 overs
  7. against WI- 2/23 ......Declared MOM
  8. 21 in 9 ball cameo against WI when we were struggling 
  9. 26 in 13 ball in NZ cameo almost won us game

Oh i was the 1st person to point out his poor batting against pace 2 yrs ago on A-tour in Sa...before ppl saw in international crciket

I knw where his piss poor batting stands but as bowler he has done well

Yes there is sky, dk....but let them earn it 

Dube is also a potential but let him earn it 

 

I dnt mind better option but atleast let them prove it

As he is batting at No.7 ... Krunal is playing as a batting all-rounder.

 

Does he come across as the best or one of the best No.7 batsmen for LOIs ?  ...  not yet IMHO.

 

Is he good enough to play as one of the 2 frontline spinners and bat at 8 or 9. ?  There are much better frontline spinners for LOIs than Krunal.

 

So, unless he improves his No.7 LOI batting quality, he does not figure in my Indian LOI 11.
