KL Rahul and Karthik left out of first T20I against Ireland

[UrmiSinhaRay]

There is a reason India will never come close to Australia of yore.
We are too busy making money , indulging in nepotism and being selfish.
Even the bowlers will start to fail eventually.
Virat is destroying Indian Cricket along with his own reputation.
Gah

direct threat to kohli

He is a phenominal opportunity for Kohli. With him he can stamp his reign as the best ever. If middle order works for klr

"Team India did not need services of KL and DK." - Virat has clarified in the post-match presentation that they will get a go in the 2nd T20I.

Virat Kohli: I can't complain about anything today. Opening combination was excellent. The last over bowled by Ireland was terrific. Great effort by Rohit and Shikhar to put us in a good position. And good strikes from MS, Raina and Pandya in the end. Bowlers did a clinical job too. We have already announced that apart from the opening combination we are going to do a lot of experiments in the middle order. We are going to be flexible in the next few T20s. We will look to throw in guys when the situation requires them to come in and try to surprise the opposition. It presents the opportunity for the batsmen who couldn't get the opportunity to bat. The guys who couldn't get a chance today will get an opportunity in the next match. The guys had a great time in IPL but they need to get time in the middle here too. The team management decided to give a go to everyone in the squad. The guys are fine with this decision. We are looking to give everyone game-time and want them to portray the qualities they possess because many guys go on tour and never get an opportunity to play.

Dude I feel The Post Virat Indian Cricket team will be a mess with lots of contenders but not a single one real good player.
And I don't trust Dravid really.

nope have a good captain n things will fall in place. Problem of plenty is never bad.....teams like SL struggle who are struggling with bench strength

India has a terrfic bench strength

 

N dravid is doing a gr8 job

I guess merit is not priority to be in playing XI

Hence I enjoyed Nidahas trophy the most. No Kohli, no Dhoni, no seniors and zero nepotism. I hope they send similar team for Asia cup too...if we lose so be it.

Too many useless series coming up for India Asia Cup being one of them and the playing Westindies at home before the all important Australian tour.

Kl has all gradients to be rated as number one batsman and he is technically very sound its a shame that such a talent is being wasted by Shastri and Kohli.

[The Unrealist]

Kl Rahul has batted brilliantly this IPL and looked a class apart in Punjab line up, I would love to see him do it for India as well but India needs him at 4 which he can make his own and look at his competition there, it's Manish pandey whose 50 +scores has costed games to SRH but for some strange reasons he keeps getting selected in the final eleven.Sad state of affairs.

I think Asia cup will be a fantastic tournament. Its no longer like before where Asia cup meant only 1 guaranteed Indo -Pak game. Now with the emergence of Afg, BD etc. its gonna be a cracker. So many Asian rivalries to look into - Ind vs Pak, Cobra rivalries, social media wars etc etc. And with the tournament being in UAE, its only gonna get heated up more. Its my tournament of the year and eagerly awaiting.

 

Zero interest watching games against minnow Australia. Its just a hype tour. Infact, the tour to NZ in Feb will be better.
