Krunal probably has the ability to bat at No.6 in ODIs.

 

Whether he will actually succeed....  only trying him will tell us.

 

He needs to be tried in ODIs asap.

He should be tried for sure.

We absolutely positively must try him. Both Pandya brothers have that clean striking ability that is so crucial for batsmen who bat at 6 & 7 in ODIs. Jadhav or Pandey should play at 5 and Dhoni bat at 4. Have Pandya brothers come in at 6 & 7.

 

6. Krunal

7. Hardik

8. Bhuvi

9. Kuldeep

10. Chahal

11. Bumrah

 

Hopefully Bhuvi can continue his decent batting form also and be a competent number 8.

 

 

 

Whom you can trust make runs from above, Chiku insist every bowler need to make runs in ODI NOW 

 

virat already starts 2019 WC preparation

25 overs of spin, plus Kedar as 6th bowler.  That's way too many.  Especially for away games.

Gives you options. On a non spin friendly surface one could replace Chahal or Kuldeep with Shami.

Yes.  I think we are all in agreement that we need another bowling option in the team, a guy that can provide some power-hitting as well.   Raina maybe serviceable option today, but not sure about 2019 WC.  That's why a guy like Krunal may get an opportunity sooner rather than later, even though he doesn't quite have the domestic track record to 'earn' it.   Re-inforces my point about the overall fairness and decent job done by our selectors, overall.  When there's a need to fill a specific kind of role, historically Indian selectors have "reached" into the prospect pool, and escalated a player's progression to the national team.

problem with raina is that he cannot handle good bouncy pitches ...and he plays all big shots on leg side....but krunal is a powerul striker of a ball who plays fast bowlers well too...

And you know this because you have seen Krunal bat against international class pace bowlers outside of India.  Not.

jst seen his shots in ipl against fast bowlers.....but not validating him...as he needs to be tried out 

even in india a tour in sa ..he played well against their bowlers.....so needs to be tested

May be in T20, but not in ODIs

[Muloghonto]

No.

 

Indian lineup should be(when fully fit):

Rohit

Dhawan

Kohli

Pandey

Dhoni

Jadhav <----6th guy

Krunal Pandya

Bhuvaneshwar Kumar/Chahal/Jadeja/Ashwin (pitch dependent)

Mohammed Shami

Kuldeep Yadav 

Jaspreet Bumrah

I will play KP and HP at 6 and 7

[Muloghonto]

KP is not better than any of our top6.

He's a better bowling option than Manish Pandey or Kedar Jadhav.  And an uproven batting option.  Unlikely to be as good as Pandey, might be comparable to Jadhav.   Time will tell.

None of top 6 bowls ......so there is no comparison . None of them bowls that the reason we need someone like KP

We are not going after KP the batsman but KP the package

Whatever i hve seen of KP he plays spin damn well but i have my doubts about his batting against pace bowling, infact in SA-A he was playing bouncers with a horrible technique

But he deserves time to fail or succeed , raina has been given enough time now 

[sourab10forever]

Only one way to find out...and plus this is the best time to try him with Jadeja and Ash not around..maybe in the NZ or the SL series.

[SK_IH]

Krunal is a street smart cricketer, he is the one who actually can be an ideal finisher in this side.He plays according to situation,less explosive than his brother but smarter.Its about time Pandya brothers become a certainty in the side.

[express bowling]

In the A-tour to SA, Krunal got to play just 3 List A games before getting injured.

 

He scored a   48  off 27 balls  and another 25 off 15 balls .... coming to bat with a few overs left.

 

Was economical with the ball in 2 out of 3 matches too.

 

He showcased his temperament by batting well in the IPL final too.
