If he is given as much chances as the useless KL Rahul he would make a much better impact.

 

He is our ideal number 4, instead of wasting time with Rayudu, Karthik etc.

 

If ge takes his leg spin a bit seriously he will get in.

Where did Rahul get chances in ODIs?

Mumbai smashed the third-highest T20 score in India, and the seventh highest in all T20 cricket, after they finished at 258 for 4 against Sikkim in Indore.

 

On the way, Shreyas Iyer's 55-ball 147 also broke Rishabh Pant's 128* as the highest T20 score by an Indian.

 

Iyer struck 15 sixes and seven fours in his innings, including a 35-run over off Sikkim medium-pacer Tashi Bhalla. He was assisted by Suryakumar Yadav's 33-ball 63.

 

Incidentally, Iyer's 15 sixes also saw him take the record among Indian batsmen for most sixes in a T20 innings from M Vijay (11). Iyer is now perched tied-fourth with Chris Gayle on the overall list.

A great IPL could bring him back into the discussion, but its a long shot. 

He's obviously not going to get into the World Cup scheme of things, but a good IPL and he'll certainly be in the reckoning after the World Cup.

He is a very good player.A fast scorer, who got snubbed unnecessarily after SA tour. 

Obviously ,will get chance post WC and will become regular in a years' time.

After WC is for sure,  we will a lot of spots that will probably be open by the 2023 WC

Dhoni, Dhawan, Rohit, Jadahv, DK will all be either retired or slightly on the older side by the next one. 

 

Pant, Iyer, Shaw, Gill will put immense pressure on them for slots

Iyer @4,  gill @5,  pant@6, pandya@7 jaddu@8 will give us good balance.

May well be the line up in 2023wc.

pant/kishan, rohit/mayank/shaw/gaekwad/KLR, kohli at 3, gill at 4, iyer at 5, hardik at 6, AR at 7, jaddu/gopal at 8 is the way to go.unearthing that AR at 7 is crucial. need a batsman who bowls some spin. no real contenders around. best options among the available ones are rana, sundar, krunal, hooda, abhishek sharma, lomror. no pant in middle order for me - he is better off giving us explosive starts like gilly at opening.

Best hitter of spinner since Yusuf Pathan.

Combined with his ability to rotate strike should have been an automatic choice even in the World Cup and no this is not hindsight,a lot of us were saying he should have got chances ahead of Rayudu/Dk etc
