But others selected avg lower than him.

That doesn't make Pandya's achievements good. That only means the batsmen aren't performing. Hopefully we try more batsmen in Tests like they did Mayank Agarwal and find a top 6 that are all reliable bats, home or away.

 

We can afford a Pandya if we had a keeper averaging over 40. Then the keeper would be in the top 6 and we could have an all-rounder at 7.

What else is yardstick to determine if "we" are missing him?

what you feel for e.g. based on evidence in the game :dontknow:

Evidence of game suggests, no one else is missing him.

Harsha just mentioned Pandya in extra innings :winky:

We should  play him as opener at SGC bcz I don't have any trust on Rahul nowadays &that's give another bowling options .in batting ifhegot some runs that bonus .but other than that position he don't have any chance right now .

Talking about evidence of game, we saw KL Rahul failing. Didn't see anyone in world, be it a fan or expert mentioning wish we had Pandya opening for us.

Was Pandya supposed to open? :lol:

Ask same question to yourself and then see why did you mention Rahul's name in this thread.

I thought it is understood that Pandya could have played as the AR with one of Vihari/Rahane/.... opening .... though would have not minded Pandya opening

What did he say?

India could have considered players such as Pandya .... and that despite the squad being of 18-19 members, only a selected few are shortlisted

Is there anyone else who is rooting for Pandya in place of Rahane or Vihari?

What evidence did you find in 1 session?

As posted in OP

 

"When you have an attack that includes 2 spinners among the 4 specialist bowling slots, it is wise to play an AR like Pandya, who can serve as the 5th bowler (3rd seamer) to support Bumrah + Shami and also bat at #6-7 .... The likes of KL, Rahane and Vihari appear to have a timer countdown attached to them as soon as they arrive at the crease. Ind is already 10/1 w/ KL gone struggling .... Are we missing Pandya already?"

how is that relevant? It is about playing 3+2 combination

This can be said even before the game. What specific evidence did we find during the match?

That Ind has continued with players who are struggling .... Did KL look good?
