He should be selected irrespective of IPL season, but stupid selectors don't seem to realize what format players are suited for. And sarfaraz from the beginning (as a boy) was training hard for FC - he scored lots of runs in school and U19 cricket, and used to make big innings. we are finally seeing the fruit of that. at 24, he's at a good age too. needs to be selected in next 12 months IMO.

Imagine this now; long term

 

Shaw

Dhull/vihari

Gill

Sarfraz/rahul

Sundar/iyer

Pant

Bawa

Thakur when he is fit/axar

Hangerakar

Prasidh

Bumrah

In ODIs ....

 

Pant 125 not out and Hardik 71 in a series decider under pressure, playing in the middle order.

 

Then Gill with a quickfire 58 as an opener.

 

We are getting to see the core of our batting in the near future. 

 

Bodes well  !!

Gill was dropped after two matches in NZ. Dumbo Kohli praised him in all his press conferences and then dumped him at first sight of failure. We could have got a fitter opener, or at least a backup.

Picking players in right format and not mixing it is extremely important.

 

Rohit, Kohli, Rahul, Pant and Pandya are guaranteed in ODIs and T20s both at the moment.

 

SKY is excellent in T20s and has the game to do well in ODIs in lower middle order role.

 

Gill, Ruturaj and Iyer deserves to be backed in ODIs. Iyer is good in ODIs but not good in T20Is, there are lot of weakness to fix for that format.

 

Kishan and Samson are good in T20Is. 

 

Deepak Hooda has the game and multiple skills for both formats- ODIs and T20s.

 

Jadeja is excellent in tests, good for ODIs and bits and pieces in T20s. 

 

Sundar is an excellent prospect in tests but bits and pieces in LOIs.

 

Axar is a great prospect in home tests but bits and pieces in LOIs.

 

That's for batting and all rounders. Won't go into bowling on this post as this thread is about batsman.

toxic kohli era 

Backup ODI opener slot is still avl so these guys shud aim for it 

[Lone Wolf]

Dravid should invest in both Gill & Project Iyer in ODIs...  Among young players these guys look most suited for ODIs..  And keeping 2023 WC in mind our Top 3 are in slump & perhaps all won't make it by then. 

Hooda is also another player who knows strike rotation & inns building. 

Keeping these players in the mix along with Pant & Hardik will bode well for us. 

 

Kishan Samson look more like T20 players along with SKY (who needs to be used at 5/6 in ODIs for impact.

Somehow, in world cricket, most of the best players turn out to be good to decent test players too and can play atleast 1 white ball format.

 

Yes, there are exceptions  ... but we must look to create a core of 6 or 7 multi format players ... and then fill the rest of the slots with specialists.

 

In batting, if we can get Pant and Gill to form a batting core ... maybe get another such batter too if available ... then we will make our team a lot more solid. 

[Chakdephatte]

Finally a fifty for Rohit Sharma.

Excellent 41 from DK.

190 is way above par, especially against West Indies hacks.

[Ankit_sharma03]

DK playing another Gem, poor guy does the hardest role in the game which no one understand n the stupid age logic. 

 41 in 19 on slow pitch ............too good 

[Ankit_sharma03]

strike rate of Rohit Sharma in T20I since 2021 T20 WC is 146 as an opener.

Clearly showing more intent post captaincy .................pretty good

Bit disappointed with Pant and Iyer in T20s.

One step forward, 2 steps backwards..

Not trying hard to seal their spots with the opportunities given.

[Majestic]

Iyer is simply not suited to T20s. But time has come to drop Pant from T20s too. There are other options waiting like Kishan and Hooda. Next time around, Rahul and Kohli will be back and it will be harder for these guys to get a chance.

[Chakdephatte]

Good to see us going for runs in powerplay. But we need to rebuilt in middle-overs as well. Pant is weird.

[express bowling]

Why has Pant been tried as an opener for 1 or 2 games and then SKY for 2 games !!

 

If they want a dashing opener ( rightly so ) then why not try the same batter for a few games on the trot ?
