Can dinesh karthik replace Yuvi for the first match.


Recommended Posts

Advantage of Dinesh over Yuvi:

Since its to be played under overcast conditions, dinesh brings better technique.

Disadvantage:

A free mental choker in playing eleven. Lessened striking ability since he cannot match Yuvi's striking abilities when on song and India already has less of it.

 

Discuss.

Realistically I don't think there's any choice. If Yuvraj is unwell and couldn't even play one single warmup match, you can't throw him in a match straightaway. I wish selectors and BCCI would have sense enough to ask for replacement for an unfit Yuvraj who hasn't even been able to play one single warmup. At this point the guy is a serious liability.

No ailment, no loss of form, no match fitness issues HAS ever mattered in Indian cricket.

 

Seniority, yaari-dosti with skipper, and brand value will always take precedence.

Its so sad to see that.

It's not as if Rohit has had a productive run of form or any match practice either. Dinesh has opened in past and looks in decidedly better nick than Sharma, but watch how both Yuvi and Rohit ease back in the side at the expense of the form player.

Yes. Dinesh over Rohit can also be an option. Rohit is an awful batsman going through bad form. If on the match day conditions are overcast one can surely consider dropping Rohit for Karthik. But a difficult choice. Pathetic batting lineup either way. Just hope we get good batting conditions. :pray:

This tourney will be decided by Dhawan, Kohli and Jadhav.

 

Dhawan is a big tourney player, exact opposite of Rohit, and almost always shows up. Kohli is Kohli and I've a lot of faith in Jadhav. Other than these 3 I expect Dhoni to hold the fort and not much else. Rohit will continue to fail when it counts, Yuvi is a liability - neither form nor fitness - and Rahane is a waste of space.

Perfect. :two_thumbs_up:  But Pandya for Umesh. Otherwise too long tail.

You can clearly see why we were all against Rohit, Rahane and Uv selection. Kohli jab these so called velli-yaar-dost will be responsible loss against  Pakistan, you will know what it means to be a great captain.

apparently Karthik has a thing for scoring his best knocks when he knows they are not going to be recorded in his stats

 

from Cricinfo - Deep: "Karthik incidentally scored two centuries in the two warm up matches during 2013 Champions Throphy against Srilanka and Australia."

iam a little scared with Rohit and yuvi... I wish Rohit hit atleast 30 runs today... 

If past is any indicator, don't expect Rohit to perform wonders in crunch games or ICC tourney. Dhawan is the guy to look up to, not Rohit.

Looks like UV is still sick. Send him back and get another player. Geez

He was unfit towards end of IPL and is so unwell here that he couldn't even play one warmup match. Going by our record I expect him to slot in straight away in the playing XI :sad:

lol, batting looks great. so much negativity.

 

dhawan back in form. kohli got a 50 in the last game. karthik should get a hundred today and bat at 4, showing great form. jadhav at 6 is just unfair.

 

gaaand tod denge sab ki.
