Point is - You gave three instances in which he didn't perform, I gave you several where he did. in squad - ok, but ill rather have pant who on his day can change the game from anywere rather DK who can in only certain situation (but thats to each it own) im not denying he hasnt performed, m talking about the pattern His pattern suggest that if needed cameo innings best guy to go but when in a bigger hole he is not the guy and as the format gets bigger that what u need. Being an experienced player with sound technique its not a huge expectation. All m saying is DK at best still is now good with certain situation which is basically cameo innings which is gr8 in t20s but not ODI's . In squad not a bad option atleast better then rayudu who is incapable of everything Link to comment

ShoonyaSifar Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Wrote this on the other thread on DK. Last ODI came in the 8th over, scored a duck 1st ODI vs Aus - came in the 33rd over Asia Cup final vs BD - came in 8th over, scored 7 Asia Cup vs Afg - Came in 18th over, scored 44 Asia Cup vs Hong Kong - Came in 30th over, scored 33 3rd ODI vs Eng - Came in 18th over, scored 21 vs SL at Dharmshala in 2017 - Came in 5th over, scored a duck vs WI in 2017 - Came in the 6th over, scored 2 vs NZ at Mumbai in 2017 - Came in 16th over, scored 37 These are 9 instances out of the 15 he's batted in last 18 months, ample opportunities to score at least 1 50 but he's either not good enough or is satisfied with those 20s and 30s. Notice how he chokes every time two early wickets fall. Ankit_sharma03 and Number 1 1 Link to comment

So if DK has to get in it has to be at place of dhoni and thats not happening Link to comment

The moment he was out of the Indian team in tests they won it all. He was the weak link. Link to comment

Dhoni is getting better with every game , DK is still a cameo player .....point is we cnt afford him with no other skills being offered from him. Someone like a krunal if makes 30 he contributes in fielding n bowling. DK is nil after his 30s Link to comment
