So he played Duleep trophy game in 2016, Ranji trophy game in 2015, Irani trophy match in 2013

 

3 domestic FC matches in 5 and half years and yet this guy is consistently playing tests on basis of ODIs and T20Is.

Story of our management And they expect to win overseas tours. LOL. 

[ShoonyaSifar]

Pathetic to see he team management cave into the huge PR drive launched by Mumbai lobby, perhaps they too wanted it this way.

Feel for Vihari scored 50 on his debut then all of a sudden out of the team.

Actually, conditions were much tougher.

Yeah, Kohli acts under media pressure and has no power for himself. He is just helpless, innocent chap there.

I’m just saying even former big players don’t have cricketing acumen they are all playing for Mumbai lobby

Might have been but give him a regular chance likes of Rahane are mentally shot and Rohit look clueless in test format.

They didn't make so many selection blunders during their captaincy stint.

[flamy]

Hahane is VC, they deserve their batting woes

[SK_IH]

Whats the basis for this reverence towards Rahane. The guy oozes mediocrity, is already discarded as a limited overs player but somehow he has to be a certainty for tests. Rohit is atleast a settled limited overs performer, Pujara atleast is a colossus at home but why is this guy rated so highly. He has been given too many chances and Ind need to move on. Vihari and others need to get a look in.

[express bowling]

You give Kohli an older guy in the squad and he will pick him in the playing 11 first, irrespective of performance or potential.  The older guy has to fail in a new series for him to be removed.

 

This guy is a very average team picker.

I can’t understand this forum mentality like kohli is responsible for everything what about Dada,sehwag,Harbhajan,sunil Gavaskar and beloved Kumble all are backing  Rohit and tremendous media pressure for his inclusion .lakin gaaliya keval kohli ko do 

erre unko tv pe baith muh faddna hai , say something what crowd wants to hear

Do they even stick to their comments

 

Dada 6mnth ago said rohit n dhawan shudnt be in test team overseas , same dada now says m surprised how rohit is not picked in test team

 

U hve to be cold and do whats right, u hve to select inly 11 player and u cnt keep everyone happy

Media joker hai

 

Under media pressure he played kuldeep in 2nd test england, a pitch that didnt require extra spinner and it was a bad call

Rahane yesterday said aussies are fav, he backed his words with his performance. For that alone he needs to be in team.

For a batsman who has 0 confidence in his denfesive game.

Vihari or Rohit?

[Vk1]

This in my view is the final series for Vijay and Rahane. Vijay would anyway retire I guess but we should be serious in dropping RAHANE.. and not select him straight away if he scores a ton against a mediocre team in ranjis. Once you drop Rahane, opportunities will increase for Gill,Siddhesh Lad, Shorey etc..

We will bounce back. 2nd innings virat will have a target off how many to get so as to not lose by innings. We all know how good we are at chasing.

yes, a true damsel in distress.

[dial_100]

I dont think Rohit plays like this in test. He seemed in a good touch and was all set to score big. I could see think tank has asked him to play aggressive and he got carried away. I mean why would he play 3-4 sixes early in the innnings? Hang in there guys. This is a long series and Rohit will come good.

 

Rahane needs to just talk to Pujara and things will be fine. 

[Trichromatic]

Vihari would have been handy with ball too here.

Looking at this current aussie lot, we can even rest Kohli and play Vihari. but at the moment, Rohit, Rahane are on the brink of being classified as unfit-for-test tag. If the come out good then they could be used as an option. If not then we have some new lot getting ready and Vihari is right there.
