Rahane and Karthik are basically Azhar Ali and Kamran Akmal of India

Why are these 2 still in the scheme of things for ODIs? Does the captain and team management actually believe that these 2 tried and tested failures will help us win the World Cup next year? We definitely have better players than these 2 in the country yet they don't get a chance because of these undeserving guys. Does anyone actually believe that these 2 are match winning ODI players? Doubt it. 

Team India needs to build strong batting bench strength in the next year and a half before the World Cup. This is one big area which we are clearly lacking in and needs to be improved fast. We need to try out players like KL Rahul, Manish Pandey, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Krunal Pandya etc.  and give them lots of matches rather than wasting time on these 2 proven failures. These guys are so bad that they can single handedly cost us the World Cup. 

We have ODI's lined up in South Africa, England, Australia and New Zealand before the World Cup. Plenty of opportunities to give some deserving batsmen chances and build our batting bench strength. I hope that we don't repeat the same mistake that we did in the Champion's Trophy when we had these 2 and Yuvraj Singh as pure passengers in the squad. All 15 players in the final squad should be match winners! 

Let's see how it goes! :icflove:

I am waiting for Rahane to give you a phainty! He does well against Saffies and I hope he will do that this time too....

Name a better batsman and a wkt kpg batsman and I will listen. These two are the best.

but karthik is playing as a batsman and not wk/bat. i am sure we could chances to younger bats who would be ready by WC rather than bringing back a TTF.

Better batsman then rahane

KL rahul

Manish Pandey 

Iyer

karun nair 

vijay shankar

In IPL we ll knw how shubhman gil plays international bowler, in terms of game even he is better 

 

They all can do better in ODI then Rahane 

 

 

Better keeper batsman 

Pant

Samson

Kishen 

 

Karthik keeping and international record as batsman is in itself a poor benchmark

That is a mistake not to play him as wkt kpg batsman. If I am the coach I will give three games to karthick and three to the grandfather. Then compare and contrast and I have a gut feeling he will come out ahead of grandfather. Dhoni playing is a abuse of the system.

Moreover Karthick as a pure batsman is not bad either. He probably is top 10 bat for India.

For me youth is a non factor. Media loves yout and people love youth. I will take the best performer any day any time. You do need to bring youth in but thru India A and then the top performers get in. No fast tracking the youth.

pant and Samson will be good but they need time. Karthick over these two is a very easy choice for me today. WC is far away and team for WC should be picked only one month in advance.

Rahul scored less in 4 innings then Rahane in one. So rahul he is the better batsman.he was shielded by PP the next innings so let us not go there.

 

Iyer, Manish and Karun are good but not at the level of Rohit, Rahane and Dhawan. Throw the stats out of the window and only do a meaningful comparison like it is easy to compare rahul with others. He is not at the level these three but I do agree he has a much higher ceiling. One day he will be great hopefully.

ARENT WE TALKING ABOUT odi CRICKET, WHITE BALL , COLORED CLOTHING

Rahane scored least in SL series rohit scored so much , i dnt think i need to tell you what happ in next series

So when ever there is strategic move to change a batting order its to shield someone wahhhh. 

By that logic whole team was shielded as everyone order went 1 down then normal

Karun , manish , iyer all have the game to play modern day LOI cricket then rahane .Rahane cant survive with that s/r in any top team of world ......no wonder he has a poor odi career

 

Those 3 havent even played half games as rahane 

 

M doing a meaningful comparison rahane lacks a lot in LOI

LOW s/r

% of dot balls is high 

doesnt convertstart

struggles in middle overs 

struggles on slow pitches

Cant accelerate much

Doesnt have a range of  shots

 

With so many issues u cant survive in modern cricket for a big team. Yes in SL, WI he will own a place but we arent that poor a side that we need someone to score 40 runs in 60 balls 

 

Dhawan n rohit have been gr8 in odi so no one is questinoning them, in test they have been poor and nothing much has changed in present either

He is a back up opener, so chances of being in playing 11 are bleak.

they both played 3 against against same lanka and on same pitches

Grand daddy made 72 runs and kartik 26 in 2 innings each

 

Grand daddy has outscored him in whole career infact took his place for next many yrs and he still does better then him

Funny thing is that in the world T20 semi finals, lendl Simmons was brought in just because he had many good innings on that Mumbai track thanks to his IPL franchise.

Why are you arguing with a well known troll?

Since rahane is already in the squad , I would actually open with him and drop rohit down the order , use rahane as a floater in this series if the pitches are flat only then open with rohit
