express bowling Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Parthiv Patel has a SR of 113.9 in the IPL. Very bad.http://www.iplt20.com/teams/mumbai-indians/squad/44/Parthiv-Patel/ Why has he been chosen as a lower-middle order batsman + keeper for T20I with such low SR ?Our top 4 batsmen are fixed and he does not have much chance there.

Shivaji bhonsle Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Why Parthiv Patel why not some young keeperIf the young keeper performs well, Dhoni will be in lot of trouble. With Parthiv, its easy to drop him even if he performs. diehardpacer, Cricket_Hacker, nevada and 6 others 9 Link to comment
Bigg Brother Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Parthiv will not fit anywhere except opening in batting! Link to comment
sandeep Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 With 3 openers (Kohli) already in starting XI, and 4th (Rahane) on the bench, now we have a 5th. Parthiv is not a power hitter and cannot fit anywhere except opening. All new bats want to be the next SRT/Kohli/Sharma - noone wants to be the next Raina - why play the high-risk low reward game, even if thats what the team needs. Glory and star-dom goes to the top players anyway. Link to comment
Cricket_Hacker Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Robin Uthappa/Naman Ojha would have been better choices express bowling 1 Link to comment
philcric Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Parthiv Patel has a SR of 113.9 in the IPL.http://www.iplt20.com/teams/mumbai-indians/squad/44/Parthiv-Patel/ Why has he been chosen as a lower-middle order batsman + keeper for T20I ?Our top 4 batsmen are fixed and he does not have much chance there.Some selections make us Parthiv is a bad 20-20 player and can only open the batting to even survive in an IPL team, and everybody and their dog knows India's top order is packed and there's no way Parthiv can be fit in there.D.Karthik, N.Ojha and W.Saha are other keeper-batsmen and all of them are used to playing in the middle order. I don't think all of them are in bad form.Other option was to compromise a bit on the keeping and go for a batsman who can keep, like Uthappa. May be it's risky considering there'd be lot of spin bowling. Link to comment
Bigg Brother Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Even in last Asia cup,Dhoni was not there.Indian team looked altogether different then. Link to comment
Mosher Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Parthiv was selected because he did ok in SMA trophy recently. But this a stupid selection. Are there no young WK batsman in India? Samson is not in good form. How about giving some youngster like Rishabh Pant a chance? Link to comment

Samson is not in good form. How about giving some youngster like Rishabh Pant a chance?What has Rishab Pant done outside of u-19 to merit national selection? That's a bit much. But Parthiv is not a good fit in the team, unless the spasm is minor and this is strictly a squad selection doled out as a reward for consistent domestic level performances - which to Parthiv's credit, he does have. In a genuine scenario - anyone out of Karthik/Ojha/Uthappa etc would have been a better pick. tweaker and diehardpacer 2 Link to comment

Austin 3:!6 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 People tend to forget that Dhoni is a fantastic keeper. The fastest behind the stumps I have seen. Lets be honest in a T20 game 8 out of 10 times his batting wont be required (hope so). But we will miss his captaincy and keeping badly.BTW will he continue to stay with the team?? Or fly back home?Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk sandeep 1 Link to comment

Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Its not a serious injury. Parthiv is only a back-up in case Dhoni is not fit by match day. Austin 3:!6 1 Link to comment
