Is it time to try Krunal in place of Jadeja?

Jadeja and Ashwin should concentrate on test matches now. No use for them in ODI cricket. I'd go on and say we need strike bowlers who can pick up wickets to win games. Bring in Kuldeep and Chahal. Wrist spinners and wicket taking options.

Kuldeep and chahal are not even debatable to have or not.They are a must in ODIs now. But both cannot play in playing eleven because leggies or chinaman usually go for runs. So the other spinner must be different. Either slow left arm or other but not wrist spinner.

If Jadeja is to be replaced it has to be a proper spinner like Kuldeep or Chahal who can bowl 10 overs not bits and pieces players.

 

 

Kuldeep or Chahal will replace Ashwin. And that shouldn't even be debated. However Jadeja cannot be replaced by another wrist spinner because two in playing eleven is not a good idea.

Not Jadeja not Krunal but spinners who can take wickets.

 

It's time we play the likes of Kuldeep and Chahal in the team.

Chahal hardly bowls loose deliveries. Kuldeep is pretty accurate too. So don't think it will be a big risk. No harm in trying. Can always go back to a finger spinner if it doesn't work.

Kuldeep/Chahal/Chahar would be better but if they want to shore up batting then it has to be K Pandya.

Krunal's batting does not look very natural and is often cramped by quicker bowlers. The most improved batsman of the left arm slow bowlers is Axar Patel.

yes , i like his attitude.

Patel's bowling is even more 1D than Jaddu in ODIs (to Sir's credit, his bowling has become more subtle in Tests). Axar should not be allowed inside the team. I agree Krunal's batting looks ugly-ish (too many hoicks) and he can be cramped easily. But, in terms of game awareness and absorbing pressure, I believe Krunal is better than the other contenders and this is what we will need from a No.7/8

IMO both Pandya brother should be in the playing 11. this would be best option for team balance because you have 7 legit batsman and 6 bowlers(4 specialist and 2 solid back ups). this strategy of stacking the team with Batsman and a bunch of part time bowlers backfired twice in this champions trophy as India allowed two weak batting attacks score 320+.

With our attitude of playing with almost the same set of players baring injuries we could be in a precarious situation in 2019. If some players lose form or get injured their replacements will hardly have played many games for India. Jadeja or ashwins probable replacements by 2019 Is a big worry.

[Vk1]

I guess the bigger worry is that this current group of selection committee shouldnt be the one picking for 2019. They will screw it big time.

Not jadeja, jadeja is a bowler and krunal is an all rounder

Krunal can come in place as batsman at 6-7 and hence he cn give u an option of left arm spinner that can lead to jadeja being dropped 

 

 

[SUMO]

He is definitely much better batsman and good hitter but not sure about his bowling.
Jaddu was a good odi spinner before his recent slump, I think jaddu needs a wicket taking bowler at other end to be effective.
ashwin has totally flopped.
On recent form Krunal can be better than jaddu

Jaddu was very good as an ODI spinner for about 1 year approximately (in the duration of previous CT). Both before and after, he was steady but not very useful. If Krunal can give 8 overs at 5 RPO with 1 wkt than would be good enough provided that he contributes more than Jaddu with bat (esp in terms of SR)

Perfect time to try out Krunal in ODIs in place of Jaddu.

 

We missed a great opportunity against WI.

[express bowling]

Now is the time to try out new players in ODIs and see how they do.

 

Now is not the time to arrive at conclusions. We will do that in late 2018.

Yes, that's why we're trying out Yuvi 2.0 and pre-retirement version Dhoni. Looks like these two won't sleep until they lose 2019 world cup for India.

Krunal much better bat but worse bowler. It would be like trading one problem for another. 

 

I would replace Ashwin and Jadeja with Kuldeep and Axar.

Krunal does not put much revolutions but he hasn't been very expensive in IPL. He is not worst bowler. Jadeja wasn't great either before dhoni persisted with him for countless matches. There are no ready made replacements and foolish to expect so.
