First class Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Good to see Shaw, Gill and Saini , making the squad. Shaw and Gill could very well be the next big names in Indian batting lineup. vishalvirsingh, Vickydev, Norman and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment

bowl_out Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Finally the perfect squad.. Can't complain about any selection. mani sha, Ankit_sharma03 and Frustrated 1 2 Link to comment
bhakum20 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 ishant has been ridiculously consistent past few years and it will be impossible to fill his shoes. If the wickets are gonna be flat then two fast bowlers, two spinners and some part timers like vihari will be needed. Why is kuldeep yadav not in the squad? I didn’t hear anything about an injury. A leg spinner would add variety. I would’ve had him in place of umesh Frustrated 1 Link to comment
SUMO Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 This is closest to the best possible squad based on meritocracy. If I have to mention one thing then I will pick rahul over saha. There is slot for 2 spinners and ash jaddu are best. Kuldeep has to improve his speed and zip of the pitch and his fitness too. Hope nobody gets injured and Ishant recovers. We are in for a cracker of test matches Link to comment
Norman Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Would have picked Kuldeep instead of Ashwin. Starting 11 should be Shaw Mayank Pujara Kohli Rahane Gill Pant Jadeja Bumrah Shami Saini / Ishant (if fit) Link to comment

Starting 11 should be Shaw Mayank Pujara Kohli Rahane Gill Pant Jadeja Bumrah Shami Saini / Ishant (if fit) India have picked Gill as the third opener, there is no way he is playing ahead of Vihari in the middle order. Remember Hanuma Vihari scored a 51 and 100* in the A game as well and was brilliant in the chances he got in West Indies. He also gives India additional bowling option. It will be unfair to drop him and play Gill ahead of him if India did decide to play 6 batters. I think the Indian fans are extremely thrilled about addition of Gill in the Test squad but that does not mean we start dropping deserving candidates from the X1 to accommodate him. Also having just one spinner in the X1 with three fast men will be a disaster if the pitch turns out to be flat, there needs to be at least a part-timer like Vihari in the X1 to give rest to the main bowlers.

I thought they'll pick Rahul based on his recent form and worse even Thakur for Ishant. express bowling 1 Link to comment

express bowling Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) Near perfect squad. Would have been perfect if Kuldeep was there. +ves ---- Saini Gill Shaw No Shardul No Rahul based on LOI form Selectors have not confused formats -ve ---- No Kuldeep Edited February 4, 2020 by express bowling Vijy and Mosher 1 1 Link to comment
