SecondSlip Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 With Rohit and Dhawan sealed as our opening duo for the 2019 World Cup, who should be their back up? I believe the following 5 cricketers are the options the selectors are looking at: Rahul, Gill, Agarwal, Shaw & Rahane If the choice is yours, who would you select as Team India’s back up opener in the upcoming World Cup squad?
Laaloo Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) Pretty easy choice : Shaw One mumbaikar (Shaw) to replace if mumbaikar Rohit goes down. One Daredevil (Shaw) to replace dilli da Munda Dhawan Edited February 10, 2019 by Laaloo beetle, bahubali, Adi BB and 1 other 1 2 1
tweaker Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Gill is in the squad, he has more chances than the rest . Mayank should get some games against Australia to access his performance. beetle 1
Khota Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 No brainer: Rahane/Agarwal Shaw is too young to be part of that setup.
jf1gp_1 Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) Shaw and Agarwal yet to make debut. Gill looks talented but clearly not ready for WC. Given the form Rahul is in not sure if he will be picked. Its unlikely Rahane will make a surprise comeback. If we do need some to open it has to be Pant.

flamy Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 None of them lol. There is only one slot left, and Pant might get that.
cowboysfan Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 A backup opener is a must for a WC,i was hoping Gill would make some good scores but he didnt fare well.Right now Rahul will most likely be in the squad by default even though he is in TERRIBLE form.
bowl_out Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 None of the ones in the poll... If we end up taking a backup opener, it will be Pant.
zen Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 From the list, voted Agarwal looking at his performance in Aus .... looked the part
SK_IH Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 I ll take a punt with Shaw but there seems to be a vaccum for only 3 players, one of which most likely is a seamer.Fight between Pant,DK,Jadeja, Vijay Shankar and reserve opener for those 2 spots. This will not be straight forward for the selectors.
Tendulkar1996 Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Gill or agarwal as they can play in middle order as well if rayudu implodes.Shaw is not fit yet,and cant play in middle order.
philcric Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 With 300 being minimum and 350 being regularly breached in recent years in England, there's only 1 obvious choice .. Rahane Gets the sole vote from the forum resident expert. Not surprising. zen, SecondSlip, Adi BB and 1 other 4
cowboysfan Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Shaw is not even going to get a game before the WC,how will he make the squad? really there is no choicce other than Rahul because Rahanes time is up.
R!TTER Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Shaw & Agarwal do they even have game time in ODI flamy 1
Ankit_sharma03 Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 with this TM their are more chances of rahane then mayank , shaw n gill
