profster Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 Let us set aside our personal prejudices and trolling and make an assessment of Team India's 15-member squad for the ICC CWC 2019. Three criteria: Be honest (no prejudices of caste, religion, language, region etc.) Be serious (present arguments to persuade others and not trolling for thrills or stirring the pot for kicks) Be realistic (ground realities of BCCI selections for ongoing India and India A tours and Team Management's public statements) We can only name 15-members in the final squad and replacements will only be allowed for injured players upon approval by ICC I think that beside the first XI, in the remaining four, we need a reserve opener, a reserve wicket keeper, a reserve bowler, and a reserve all rounder. On this basis,. I think our strongest squad will be: Rohit Dhawan Kohli Gill Dhoni Kedar Hardik Bhuvi Kuldeep Bumrah Chahal Jadeja (as bowling all-rounder and to be used strategically for his fielding as 12th man) Shami (reserve fast bowler to rest Bhumrah given the number of matches) DK/Pant (reserve keeper and lower middle order bat) Shaw/Rahul (as reserve opener or top order bat if Kohli's back gives issues) Now, the biggest unknown is IPL impact (work loads, summer heat, and player injuries). What do you think? Tendulkar1996 1
prasen82 Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 You haven't even seen Gill and want to give the most important number 4 to him. Considering whatever we have and the fact that dhoni will play, if we were to have a realistic chance dhoni has to bat at 4. No 2 ways around it. Either kohli needs to bat with dhoni or needs to drop dhoni. If dhoni is dropped we can consider Gill . But that's not gonna happen. Dhoni at 4 , jadhav at 5 and DK/pant at 6 and Hardik at 7. Thats the best bet we have .
velu Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 gill and shaw .. yet to make their debuts other than gill .. lineup is solid against sc teams , drop chahal
sandeep Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 Dhawan Rohit Kohli Jadhav DK / Rayudu Pandya H. Dhoni ( Moves up to #4 if 3 down before 17th over) Bhuvi Kuldeep (Replace with Shami against BD, Pak, Afg, SL) Chahal Bumrah Shami Rayudu Jadeja Shreyas Iyer / KLPD / Gill This squad doesn't account for injuries, which I'm assuming will allow for last minute replacements. So just like 2015, BCCI should fly in the following players to England and keep them ready to go: Rishabh Pant KLPD / Gill Mayank Markande Khaleel Chahar / Siraj velu and profster 1 1

profster Posted January 26, 2019 Author Posted January 26, 2019 Gill for two reasons: 1. Selectors have fast tracked him into the squad. Whether he gets a debut or not is Team Management''s decision 2. Rahul's horrid run and Rahane's continues strike rotation issues in the middle order leave us exposed. Unless we bring back Manish Pandey at 4 for yet another run at 4. I am happy to be proven wrong about Rayudu. But once the final 15 is annouced, I will fully back them to succeed.

Khota Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 I would not have Gill or Shaw in the lineup. Selected properly India can have the best team.

Yes, and guys like Yuvi and Zak debuted in CT2000 and did well so there is no harm in bringing in new players .... Sidhu, iirc, only played a few games occasionally before he is brought in the WC squad in 1987, where he enjoyed success profster 1

Our biggest weakness is poor selections as evidenced during the recent overseas tours. First things first, Selectors to get the 15 members right Second and last, Team Management to get the match day playing XI right. I am really worried one or both of the above will screw us during the world cup. Khota 1
MCcricket Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 Pant comes in for Dhoni, Rayudu is removed and replaced by Gill or Agarwal and we have a good team, Pandya n OK for me n no DO Rohit SDhawan Virat Agarwal Pant Pandya Jadhav Shami Bumrah K Yadav Chahal Gill Shankar Bhuvi Would be my core group for ODI
Tendulkar1996 Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 rohit dhawan kohli gill dhoni:( jadhav pandya bhuvi kuldeep bumrahg chahal shami jadeja pant kartik/rahul If gill is not ready,bring pant into middle order.MSD is untouchable. But give gill 5 matches first.2 matches in NZ and 3 vs aus.
carnish Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Honest team that I would like to play Dhawan Rohit Virat Kedar Pant Dhoni Krunal Bhuvi Kuldeep Shami Jasprit Hardik Gill Chahal Umesh
bahubali Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Ll play Shani instead of bhuvi and anyone else in place of kawa briyani saik 1
mishra Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Keep 12th man someone like Pandey who can do some majestic fielding
prasen82 Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Most likely the 15 member squad Rohit Dhawan Kohli Rayudu/Gill Dhoni Jadhav,DK&Pant Hardik & Jadeja Bhuvi&Shami Kuldeep Chahal Bumrah Only rayudu is uncertain . All others would come in. Pant will make it to team due to x factor. If rayudu sucks in 3rd odi, then Gill had chance.
SUMO Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 My strongest XI Rohit Dhawan Kohli Gill Dhoni Jadhav Hardik Shami Kuldeep Bumrah Chahal Rahul (over rayudu, manish) Kartik (atm inspires more confidence than pant in odis) Bhuvi Jadeja (over khaleel/umesh/kaul) More likely this will be the contingent to WC. From the current squad in NZ...shanker, siraj are just to make up numbers. Hope rayudu and khaleel dont spoil it. I will prefer shaw and umesh over them.
