It's one game bro. We gave 11 years for jadja to prove himself and he's still a hack with the bat.

we won multiple championships with Jadeja. He was sensational in the 2013 champions trophy

Apart from CT, what other championships have we won?

 

And he debuted in 2009. That CT happened in 2013. As I said before, I can count jadejas match winning performances in LOIs on one finger in 11 years. 

 

 

And you're writing off Pandya after one game? Come on now. At least try to be objective.

I don't think so, in T20s he will very rarely get any opportunity to bat more than 3 overs and if he bowls like he did today he will not have that many chance to showcase his batting this is not Mumbai Indians. 

This is not Mumbai Indians. That is why I reckon he'll get more chances to bat. 

[Forever Indian]

He should earn his place in the team as a batsman, because his darts are going to be useless more often than not especially overseas. Kohli is doing the same mistake with the Pandyas, that is treating them as fifth bowler. Their overs should be treated as bonus and they should play in team as lower order bats.

[Bigg Brother]

His bowling was always going to be mediocre.He just darts around like Pakistan 's Imad Wasim.Even In India better team will smash him in t20s..It was his batting which was taking point.

 

Still he needs to be given chances atleast till the younger one returns.One thing will be  clear after these t20s that we will get know how good he can be in ODIs if picked..We are better with Chahal and Kuldeep as far as WC is concerned.These ARs cost a better bowler like Chahal place and creates false sense of balanced team which is not there in reality.

So OP came to a conclusion based on just one match? What's up with these so-called-experts and their urge to bash our top T20 players. First it was with Rahul, then Pant and now Krunal? When was the last time we have won T20 World cup? We need a change in mindset or it will be a rinse-and-repeat in the next World cup, as well.

Common man, Jadeja won you CT with his bowling , I don't know why people are so against Jadeja.You think Jadeja is worse than Pandya??? Mind you Pandya will not have much to do with bat.

you think jadeja hasnt beem smacked, he has been smashed worse then jadeja

N in IPL krunal has been a better bowler then jaddu 

 

 

 

[Suhaan]

Cool down just a brainfade in last 10 balls of the match cost us , else it was in the pocket, won't jump into the "drop krunal asap"bandwagon

Krunal cant bowl the length he bowls in India,he was dropping short on these highways thinking it might grip

[zen]

LAS bowling usually = danger if pitches don’t help spinners. You have to be able to bat well to come in if you are a LAS bowler. Therefore, likes of Jadeja, Axar, etc., are out of equation .... 

 

Krunal is handy as he can bat relatively well with his power hitting and ability to remain calm under pressure. As a 5th-6th bowler, Krunal will usually be targeted by other team. Ind would have to factor that. And there is no guarantee that another bowler would not have a bad day. Krunal will have to use such games as learning opportunities

For perspective, Aus bowling

As per T20 stats, our side today plus Hardik and Chahal is our best available bet. However some people are in a rush to dismiss some players based on one rain curtailed match . 

Aus were really lucky they won today.

[mancalledsting]

today was absolutely horrible- played a big role in India losing the match- both with his batting and his bowling. Having said that- you can never judge anyone after one game.

You could well be right, but got to be fair. It's a bit knee-jerk to claim this after just one T20 game. More than a bit actually. 

It’s his bowling which is just dart as fast as you can with absolutely no thinking that is a concern.

 

Its different when a batsman is having a great day and connecting everything against a bowler who is trying every trick in the book and it is another thing if all the batsmaen all of them have to just stay in the crease and play him like a medium pacer and smack it right back.

yes He looks like poorer version of Yuvi who used pace variation like nobody's business.

If Imad Wasim can have serviceable t20 bowling stats, there's no reason why this guy can't.  I'm not saying he's a quality bowler, or even a quality player.  But let's not rush to judgement off of one t20 spell on a typical Aussie road.  Keep in mind, the "hack" Dhawan bitch-slapped the Aussies at 200 SR in a T20 here.

Yuvi in his later years was a lot more than just a 'darter'.  Especially WC2011.  He was bowling quite cleverly with decent control.

Yep.  They batted first, got the DL benefit, 2 of our bowlers had absolute horror shows and they still got outscored by 10 runs in their own home.  They know it.  Their only hope is to keep putting up such roads for the next 2 T20s and even the ODIs - the minute there's even a bit of grip on the wicket, our spinners will rip them apart.  And our batting can handle whatever they can throw at us.  

 

No need to panic on this 'loss' by minus 10 runs.

But his strength was pace variation. He got Younis Khan out with pace variation. That was the most crucial wicket when India was searching for wickets.

The Pandya brothers doing their best to destroy Indian cricket.

What a woeful performance by Krunal with bat and ball.

Jadeja did jack with his selfish batting. He can dart the ball a bit but that's about it. A proper bowler can do a better job than Jadeja.
