Would a young SRT (age 22-23) find a place in this team? Teeange SRT, or was he just lucky to play in that era?

[mishra]

No, Virat would have dropped him after his mere 15 on his debut. He would have been given one more chance in next away series as replacement. despite him scoring imporatnt runs he would have been dropped as Dhawan and Rohit would have scored odi centuries.

 

At home, He would have been completely ignored as our Bullies and Ashwin would not need a Sachin.

 

Over all, he would have been in and out till his confidence would have become so low that he wouldnt have cared.

 

He was extremely fortunate to play in a era when cricket wasnt commercialised

A past his prime sachin near the end of his career is still better than every current Indian batsman bar kohli and you are asking if a young sachin would make the team? A 22-23 year old sachin is on par with prime kohli, he'll walk into every side in the world

Anyone thinks, I am wrong. Just need to look into facts.

 

Kohli dropped Kumble to select Shashtri despite media/fan uproar.

we are talking about current scenario in 2018, not what he was in 1993.

Akram trundling big time.

Akram was never really rated as an express pace bowler barring padosi fans. His whippy arm action made him look 10 kph quicker than he actually was.

to put it  precisely 'SRT would have been unlucky in this era  not  to have picked at a very tender age'.  Why??????? Because he practically proved to be better  to each and every  top order batsman in the team before he turned 23. The saying that 'SRT  was lucky

to have picked at an early age'  turns upside down the entire context of the situation  because 'lucky' is  normally associated  with an undeserving candidate

SRT would have dwarfed Kohli, if he played. Plain and simple. Not by 23. but by 20.

 

Even now, we sing in stadium with his name letting opponent fans/players know that dont get complacent because we havent got Sachin. Now we have Kohli

it isnt as simple.  There are lot of constraints and factors. Forget what SRT did as 16-18 year old in 1989.  Think whether he could do same now with all those constraints due to advent of T20.

I credit SRT batting bully and strike rate for advent of T20

this can be said about any great batsman of the gone eras.But the simple theory that 'a great in any era would prove to be a great in any other era' applies here too.

[The Dark Horse]

He would make it into the team of course, but then not everyone is SRT..

then you believe that SRT would have found it difficult to find a  place  in the eleven competing with the likes of  Dhawan,Pujara,Rahul,Rahane,Kartik & Vijay.I shall stick on with my  thinking.

A pack of wolves can protect their turf against a lone lion. Dhawan,Rohit Kohli combo along with Bunty would have not selected him.

 i am speaking on strict merit terms. If deliberate partiality is shown towards any body, that person can't do anything.But keep in mind Sachin began to produce results from the first tough assignment itself

rkt is lamenting about current state of affairs.

 

Merit terms, 16 years old Sachin would have been part of Indian squad or any squad. Any day.

If he was left to play domestic cricket till 23, Only god knows how many runs he would have scored in domestic cricket

SRT's Ranji avg is close to 90.

No matter what a young player with such record can't be kept out for long.

[The Dark Horse]

Even someone like Rishabh Pant is doing so much rounds among our "experts" on icf and social media. Do you think someone like Sachin would have been ignored? I don't think so.

Shaw already did all that and even more scoring runs at A level in England at 18.

Shaw should be in the playing 11. He has done remarkably well at all levels, and India’s openers are underperforming. 

 

I’ve read of his technical glitches, but it’s time that those glitches be exposed at the highest level, if they have to be. It’s obvious by now that he has enough skills to overcome them at FC level.
