Real captain is there behind the wickets. Rohit can go anywhere he wants.

if he is real captain he would retire asap.

They wont be required to bat much. We will be off to flyer. Rohit will play with vengeance

A little humility would go a long way. One bright spot though is while Dhoni and Kohli would have thrown in the towel after 120/0, Rohit stuck it out with some luck.

no need for Jadhav atm

 

Attack with Chahal Bhuvi and Yadav

 

Jadhav has done his job

[SecondSlip]

Silly captaincy. 

 

Why not bowl Kul-Cha in tandem and finish them off? 

 

Why is he overbowling the 5th bowler

5th bowler performed better than both today and will say give me chance to pick more wickets.

Match over. BD needed 350z

275 is a total that can put pressure on India.  I think BD can easily get there if they stop aiming too high.

Maybe because toyger batsmen are comfortable against the turning ball unlike other teams, and Jadhav's 'no-pace' bowling is harder to score off today?

India IMO cannot afford to simply sit on it.

 

Jadhav quota means Bumrah does not need to bowl much. 

 

Go for the kill with Chahal and Bhuvi at the other end. Feel Sarkar is looking to simply rotate the strike and survive.

Humility? lol

Our top order is best in the world, its a fact. They score 9/10 times so obviously would expect them to score again.

And Dhoni and Kohli would not have thrown in the towel. Infact Dhoni is still not throwing in the towel. Rohit is learning well or rather learned it already.

[Nikhil_cric]

Anyway we can steal Liton and get him to play for us? 

[SK_IH]

Why is Jadhav still bowling is bizzare

Wrist spinners have a much better chance of getting wickets than a part timer like Jadhav

Batting cant chase totals under pressure is a fact , when you know that its stupid to opt for chasing in a tournament final . 

Dude, India is under more pressure than Bangladesh regardless of whether they bat first or second. That's how Bangladeshi openers came out to bat. Like they have nothing to lose. Not even their own fans think they can beat us.

 

If they batted second, they would've had more of a chance to win because India would've played like a headless chicken without a target in place and ended up giving Bangladesh a subpar total to chase.

Doubt he will last long in this heat already scored 100 so good we got other batsman asap.

Exactly, He will not take quick singles or turn 2s into 1, Rohi can keep the fielders slightly closer the inner circle and then bats will rely on massive hit

Nah man...280 is a stroll for you guys. Can’t see your openers being troubled.
