this is another guy who gets hate cos of how he behaves rather than how he performs also mumbai hate.

Pandya is good for what it's worth in T20's or even in ODI's. He gets hate because some fans hype him like he is the greatest thing since slice bread...chalo even that is acceptable but his over the top attitude without even doing jack at the international level is what cringeworthy.

 

On one hand Pollard gets so much hate for behaving like a superstar(obviously deserved) but even he has won his teams matches where as Pandya is getting a golden boy treatment...there is nothing wrong in backing his potential but he needs to perform instead of focusing on styles....right now I will quote number again,he looks like a future big boss contestant than a future genuine superstar of the game.

but he is performing and has almost scored 300 runs and got 18 wickets.

even for india imo his bowling won 2 odis in south africa and he already performed before on flatter tracks..i dont know what more people expect from number6 or 7 in batting line up but he does his job well enough and for mumbai was most important player overall.

 

more consistency will come with age but he is already a matchwinner and he is so valuable cos of that.

Pollard did well in one match this IPL. While scoring 260 runs and 18 Wickets isn't a performance.

I meant Pollard has won matches here and there in IPL and probably even for Westindies

IPL team of the season - Dhoni, Williamson in; Stokes, Krunal out

 1) KL Rahul

 2) Sunil Narine

 3) Kane Williamson

 4) Ambati Rayudu

 5) Rishab Pant

 6) Dinesh Karthik

 7) MS Dhoni

 8) Rashid Khan

 9) Andrew Tye

10) Umesh Yadav

11) Jasprit Bumrah

 

 

All these players deserve the selection. One change I would make is replace Rayudu at #4 with ABD. Rayudu had a fantastic season but most of his runs came while opening and also slightly less pressure runs (winning team, batting at top) compared to ABD. ABD was sublime this season and most of his runs were under pressure (losing team, middle order, AB out game over kinda situations).

 

4 WKs in that team ... Rahul, Pant, Karthik, Dhoni !!

 

Edit: Just realised that only 4 foreigners are allowed in this team too. So yeah AB can't make the team in place of Rayudu.

yup.. didn't realize he's taken so many wickets... 

with the bat though, he's been sub par
