Okay so this is the last test and we dont play any until world cup. Now the focus shifts on white ball cricket and there is a lot to fix as far as Indian cricket team is concerned. We will be playing 3 ODIs against Aussies starting next week and should do fine.
 
But the real test will be against Kiwis next month. They are a top ODI side at home and the way they are manhandling SL now, there is plenty for India to worry. But it will be also good in a way that undeserving players will be found out.

As long as we have Dhoni, Rayudu and whichever other hack stinking up our middle order, we won't do anything. Ideally, we need:

 

1) Dhawan

2) Rohit

3) Kohli

4) Shaw

5)Pant

6)Jadhav

7)Pandya

8)Jadeja

9)Bhuvi

10)Shami

11)Bumrah

 

Something like that. But we are guaranteed to have Dhoni with his 20(40)

If Sri Lanka can give the kiwis a run for their money, then I don't think they are exceptional. India should be able to beat them. Remember they don't have good bowlers for ODIs. Southee and to some extent even Boult can go for a lot on flat decks. Spinners are ok. They will need to get all 3 of India's top3 fairly quickly to win. Munro is the main concern for India.

Why is the best ODI bowler is missing?

[nitinbwj]

Parera smashed 13 sixes ...THIRTEEN !!!!! against their bowlers.Their bowling is shyte and we will chase 350 if we have to. No thrashing at all.

[kubrickian]

Bumrah, Kuldeep, Pandya will make a huge difference to this team. Batting is taken care of by Rohit, Dhawan, Kohli. To be fair to Rayudu, he made the most of the chances given to him while others didnt deliver. Pant should have been there in place of Dhoni.

 

I reckon its a decent team overall.

[Bigg Brother]

Bowlers will take care of NZ batsmen..

 

Only threat is Dhoni and Raydu's SR..

I know but both should be rested.  No need to "win" these glorified warm-up games.

Kuldeep should play everything. He isn't a fast bowler or playing a lot to be rested.

They dropped 6 catches, that doesn't happen all the time

For him its not about rest but more about exposure.  And about building bench strength with spin.  Ideally I would have loved to have Krunal Pandya already play 5-7 ODIs, so that we can evaluate another alternative to Kedar Jadhav.  No reason why a washington sundar can't play instead of Kuldeep right?

[prudent_kreeda]

Looking at the patta pitches dished out in one dayers in NZ and rest for haz, starc, cummins in Aus side , i think even Raydu, Kedar 

may become tigers and hang on in the team for WC ...  

Am worried .

I hop we get utterly humiliated by NZ. We don't have middle/lower order hitters at all. Will be a preview for the World Cup.

[SUMO]

It will be batting shootout on flat pitches puny boundaries.

We will do well with if we play pant and pandya in the middle.

[flamy]

It will be axcellent if NZ scores 400 every time and asks us to get going.

 

Rayudu and Karthik and Dhoni

 

 

[Temujin Khaghan]

Like others in this thread even I feel thrashing is good before the WC.

 

Even if we lose every loi match before WC, we still enter the tourney with the aura of team consisting of Rohit, dhawan, pandya, bumrah, Kuldeep and chahal lead by vk.

 

Only England with their master blasters are stronger team than us.

[G_B_]

glad Bumrah was rested. Should have rested Kohli as well. Need to access our strength. No better time in some harsh conditions.

[putrevus]

This will be a good test.
