If we have Shaw open with Rohit and Kohli is at 3 and Shubman at 4c, are we then planning to kick Rahul out?

 

Whats your verdict on Rahul?

 

Would you like for him to be given a much longer run at 4 or 5 or just kept as reserve and wait for his chance? 

 

 

Wait.  Has Dhawan retired ?:hmmmm2:

Whether they succeed or not, Rahul needs to be removed from tests and ODIs.

 

 

Not really, need to have right perspective.  he has done well enough for a 14 ODI old batsman without playing a single ODI in last one year.  He scored more runs than Dhoni and Kohli in their first WC. probably most by any Indian batsman with less than 20 ODIs under his belt.  Regarding test, he should be moved down to middle order.

How have ppl easily assumed that Dhawan career is over ??? Forget Rahul how does shaw come infront of Dhawan

Rahul hasnt badly in Wc ....so need to drop him. Finally after a tough he seems to be getting better so why not back him. This is where somene like ganguly n dhoni made player.....they didnt drop players when they started to find some confidence. Anyways he ll be dropped as test series comes. One thing with rahul- he needs to be told for sure what his role is - opener or no.4......and then even if dhawan looses his place Rahul wud be number - 4

Looking at just the runs scored in LOIs is not the correct perspective.

 

Rahul batted at a very low SR of 77 to achieve scoring the 361 runs from 9 matches in this WC.  Moreover, this WC has featured more matches than most WCs because of the unusually long league stage. So, the cumulative runs have to be seen from that perspective too.

 

Rahul  has been playing international cricket for a long time ... and his attitude and hunger for success keep on disappointing.  We need players with the right attitude.

The ball which he got out was most innocuous delivery ,just straight ball with some bounce yet he nicked it shown what a garbage player he is ,just scoring against bangladesh, srilanka with pathetic Sr and failed against big teams eng,nz .actually he has scored most soft runs entire tourney. He is f@@# 27 and must be his peak .when will he start performing  at 35:facepalm:

     At present form and the confidence with which he is playing , he cannot be our opener.  

I doubt if he will make it to the toyger's playing 11 as as opener. 

Tamim and Soumya Sarkar are more intimidating than this timid tentative kid.

 

We certainly have better batsmen than him.  Give Shubman Gill and Shaw 5-10 matches , they will show more confidence than KL.
