Can India win the World Cup with Kohli-Shastri duo?

[SecondSlip]

I believe that not many here on ICF are getting positive vibes for next year’s World Cup with this duo in charge. 

[Laaloo]

We have thalaiva in charge doing 50 percent of the bowlers job so we are in good hands.

[SK_IH]

Only thing we are winning with this duo is babaji ka thullu 

There is no foresight,no planning,lots of delusions about various players.

[Adi BB]

No way,would be a devastating end for this duo 

[jalebi_bhai]

This axis of evil will screw us big time next year.

do we have any fairplay awards in WC ?

[Clarke]

IF they address the middle order problems optimally, we got a chance.

LOIs have different considerations. Weaknesses in tests may not necessarily apply to LOIs

But we are serial chokers in icc tournaments nowadays,we bottle out in pressure situations 

[chewy]

India will be ok in ODIs, especially in ICC tournaments. 

Much easier to play as well, lower quality players go far in ODIs.

We would probably make it to the KOs, where anything can happen

[SandeepMotta]

Absolutely no chance, these two have taken Indian cricket back by a decade.

[kosingh]

With the white ball, we can be competitive against any team in any condition

[speedheat]

Ghantaaa!! Need to kickout useless dhoni and drunkard shastri first, blood in some youngsters like pant,gill, etc. Need one more quick genuine quality odi bowler to support bumrah!! May be shami or any other fresh face like saini or rajpoot, one offspinnig/leftarm allrounder,may be k gowtham or krunal and then we can at least dream of the WC but right now just forget it!!!

[Gollum]

If this double trouble isn't separated there goes the streak. Pakistanis will be unbearable, already unka uchalna chalu ho gaya hai. Potentially lots of pain in store these coming 8-9 months. If status quo is maintained we'll see the following:

 

England- massacre

Asia Cup- Daduconda, Pandey, Karthik, Iyer, Raina, Unadkat, Kulkarni...we'll be the losers irrespective of how it unfolds.

Australia- massacre against Aus A no less

WC- humiliation, end of streak

 

Many of these upcoming disasters can be mitigated provided we make some brave calls TODAY.

[prasen82]

No high hopes, we don't have enough firepower. England seems unbeatable ..

 

They will make flat tracks and they have a long batting line up. Only way for us is we bat second and rohit hits daddy 200s in crucial matches .

And that is good enough for this shameless duo to continue.

 

Only a league exit after losing most matches to the big teams will create a mess for the BCCI to wake up and smell the coffee!

Bigger problem is the middle order momentum sucker
