Turning_track Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 Would watch Vijay's performance closely, he needs to cash in. Not at all assured about Pujara. Dhawan Vijay Rahul Kohli Rahane DK Ashwin Ishant Shami Umesh Kuldeep
Vilander Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 Have to try Vijay Rahul and Dhawan over Pujara. Kohli Rahane Nair Pant pandya shami ummi kuldeep/ Ash

BlueBee Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 Pujara should be dropped. I say pick both Pant and DK. Vijay/Rahul and Dhawan can open. Rahul/Vijay at #3 beetle 1

vishalvirsingh Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 dhawan Kl rahul Pujara Kohli rahane Kartik hardik or ASHWIN based on the Pitch COnditions.. kuldeep ishant umesh shammi
Switchblade Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 1)Kl 2)Vijay 3)Pujara (last chance) 4)Kohli 5)Rahane 6)Dk (will be selected by team as it is plus experience factor) 7)Ashwin/Pandya (conditions k according) 8)Kuldeep 9)Umesh 10)Shami 11)Ishant Jimmy Cliff 1
Switchblade Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 Dhawan/Vijay will certainly play in my opinion by the captain Kl can bat at 3 if they don’t want to play Pujara also I see Hardik as a certain in the first test along with DK.
jf1gp_1 Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 Both Dhawan and Rahul need decent batting conditions to score, on tough track neither will survive for long so open with VIjay and one of dhawan/rahul. Eng will give us tricky wickets so irrespective of form Pujara at 3 followed by kohli and rahane. Sami, umesh and ashwin are core bowlers. If we go with 5 bowlers then 2 from jaddu, ishant and kuldeep, if we go with 6 batsman then Nair.

tweaker Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 9 hours ago, mani sha said: thats recipe for failure Kohli is going to play the same team.He is not going to play Rahul , Kuldeep & Pant in the 1st test. For him left right combination is only important when he wants to play his buddies.He will not use that criteria to select Pant. He can drop Kuldeep after 5 wicket haul citing the reason of ground dimensions.But he didn't drop Chahal. One failure & Rahul was dropped but Raina played as he is lefty & can bowl 2 overs. beetle 1
diehardpacer Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) Rahul Vijay/Dhawan( Both are unreliable) Kohli/Rahane Rahane/Kohli R Pant (Pant has done well vs Eng Lions.Nothing to be lose by giving him a chance here) D Karthik(WK) Pandya Ashwin/Shami (Shami has no match practice & was bowling without intensity vs SA.He was lucky to get so many wickets.) Kuldeep Ishant Umesh If both Vijay & Dhawan play,then only one out of Karthik & Pant can play.If pitch has anything for seamers, Shami plays ahead of Ashwin. Pujara is out of form.Nair can come in if Pant/Karthik bat horribly. Edited July 22, 2018 by diehardpacer
BlueBee Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 I'd be really mad if Rahul doesn't get in the XI. More if Pujara gets in and he doesn't somehow.
