Keeping the World Cup in mind, we think Rayudu is the best option at No.4 - Virat Kohli

[express bowling]

In most cases, Kohli does not let new players to settle down in the team and express themselves fearlessly.  

 

And one of the reasons this happens is because his initial picks are not well thought out.  

 

There are lots of players who pick themselves in both the test and LOI teams.  But the newer entrants have not had it easy.

 

Only Chahal and Kuldeep have been allowed to settle down ...  and were good picks to start with.  And we have got spectacular results.

 

I don't like Rayudu as an international batter

 

BUT 

 

it is still better to let him settle down rather than giving 2 games to different players and dropping them uncereminiously.

 

The same thing is happening regarding backup pacers.  Poor picks like Kaul, Chahar and Shardul to start with ...  they obviously disappoint ...  then drop them and get others after 2 games.  Now Umesh is brought back in ODIs  after a good test match.

 

Regarding picking new players to fill slots or creating backups .....   Pick poor players to start with ...  drop them after 2 or 3 games ...  rinse and repeat.

 

Everyone responsible for selecting the squads and the playing 11 are responsible.

Dunno where Rayudu came from to become such an assured pick

for kohli. He wasnt in the picture 4 months ago. 

 

I say put jadhav at 4, pant at 5, kl rahul/krunal pandya at 6

Kohli as captain...best in world.

Kohli as team selector..average.

Kohli attitude...too much attitude not good for team and will get him enemies.

Kohli on fielding and fitness..excellent

Can you blame Kohli after what we have seen from so called talented Rahul.Rahul is fricking playing international cricket from 2014 and he still bats like a moron.

rahul is a mental midget ..

i would still pick rahul ahead of rayudu

I would take wild card like Gill and hope he gets the job done. Rahul is not the answer.There is nothing after top three in this team.

[Mosher]

Shankar at 4 followed by Dhoni, Jadhav, Pandya.

[prasen82]

Dhoni screws up balance by not able to accelerate nor being able to play at number 4.

 

I am not completely convinced with jadhav .  Ideal combo kohli, Shankar, Pant,DK,Pandya

Kohli tu rehne de
