The most frustrating thing is this has completely taken away the focus of the media from us winning the series on a pitch that resembled more WACA than Wankhede. Or how excellently our seamers bowled.Or the performance Rahane as captain. Now everyone is talking about Kohli this/that instead of the magnificent season we have had. Kohli really acts like a immature child at times .He is the Indian captain ffs. Let the team enjoy the limelight of our excellent season for once.

Should not play the rogue nation's team. If we give in to this, we will be seen as soft on all the terror activities sponsored by this Terror republic of Pakistan.

Manjrekar: Rahane personality gets his team to focus on the game not on other things which comes with Virat's personality. With that everyone remains focussed on the game including people who are watching it The focus is entirely on the field that comes with rahane personality...... Honestly WTF does that mean..........have the ba**s to say what u want to manju ....... Does he mean Virat concentrates on Nautanki more http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/video_audio/1089026.html Srsly did i miss something in the home season that some nonsense happened under virat but no under rahane. Just becoz Rahane is from mumbai u see logistic in his captaincy.......or do u mean being expressive makes u not concentrate on the game.

I agree i do want to play them so we can blank them easily and correct the overall record but sometimes some things are bigger than cricket.

Hope the permission is denied.

Manju, you came from a generation where many were willing to bend over backwards (and bend over, period) to foreigners. I saw it, I know it. This is a generation that doesn't. I don't want a return to the days when even Kapil Dev could be barged by some c*nt and not retaliate. Phuck that. Manju, you're a grown man. At least now stop behaving like a timid, passive aggressive teacher's pet. And if you can't do that, just shut the f*ck up. You have no clue.

Yes...i believe so... Rahul mimics kohli to the core....even his celebration yesterday was complete copy of kohli's body language Ashwin got into verbal altercation with anderson as he commented on Kohli... Umesh and shami openly said they like him more than Dhoni.... Rohit, Rahane, pujara and vijay seems to be in good friends with him.... so overall, he is most respected indian captain from last 20 years or so....

Final Team standings confirmation: Congo again to Myself, @zakk, @OpeningBatsman, @zandubaam, @JaFanatic, @VS319

Manju is a complicated person with multiple issues . This is just his love for everything mumbaIndian.

Duniya hila denge hum!!!!!

Not just the team....it is the whole country. Lazy guys.

Nope. I don't understand what we are still waiting for to close all ties with that nation.

No please

Just no, hope the permission is denied , no more cricket with that coward terrorist nation

Risk of exposing our players to bookies. Should never play bilateral games in places like uae, singapore, malaysia, ...

That owner Goenka is an old @rsehole for making Smith captain over the likes of Ashwin or Rahane. I hope Pune finishes bottom of the pile this year.

This team can do great overseas. Our seamers are capable of taking 20 wickets a match; in fact, this team is better on fast and bouncy wickets than on slow and turning ones. Jadeja is a lot more effective on quicker and bouncier wickets for one. Kuldeep can also be impactful on flatter tracks. It should also be noted that we played the entire series without our best quick- Shami. Even Ishant is a vastly improved bowler; the trio of Shami, Umesh and Bhuvi (or Ishant, or couple of the up and comers) supported by Jadeja and Ashwin can definitely win overseas. The key here is who we can find to solidfy the one batting spot (Nair, Sharma, someone else- i actually prefer the 5 bowler route). That and slip catching are the weaknesses for this team. We have never had such quality bowling for all facets of the game.

Individual standings for FL Hub 2017:

haan yaar unhe haraye bina IPL jeetne ka kuch mazaa nahi hai

Next year CSK ki band bajayenge.

We would look like hypocrites if we play. Just no.

Not going to happen. No cricket ties with this barbaric country

Most of our first choice ODI players like Kedar Jadhav ,Dhoni,Yuvraj,Dhawan,Bumrah,Shami were involved in Vijay Hazare and Deodhar trophy. And along with them ,others like Kohli , Rahul,Ashwin Yadav and Jadeja will play plenty of IPL too. So tiredness is a bigger worry than being underprepared for Champions trophy.

It's all BS man. These media personalities just change according to what's popular. if we lost he'd say Rahanr was too quiet and we needed Kohli's energy.
