Is Rohit-Dhawan pair ideal for T20s?

These guys can only get to 50 of first 6 on a good day , while most teams would target 75+ . That’s about 20 runs to make up on flat pitches , either chasing or setting targets 

Absolutely, look at NZ today, 60 is bare minimum for them

[Forever Indian]

Dhawan has never been a good T20s player. He is a good player only in ODIS, so should be shown the boot and get Rahul or someone else to open.

Time for oldies to move on, Rohit, Dhawan and Dhoni not good enough for T20 batting

 

Plenty of better options

 

Barring dropped catches and some poor fielding, these batting trio are big liability. 

[Ankit_sharma03]

once KL comes back in form he is the right guy, extremely destructive

[flamy]

Dhawan is officially out of form.

Rohit should have stayed till end. Even if he had got 38 of 28, this match was won.

[Temujin Khaghan]

Dhawan is a good opener but Rohit needs to come in at no.5

Agree that Rohit, Dhawan and Dhoni have to move on from this format

Dhawan hasn't scored century since asia cup. Rohit hasn't been same since Aus series. Even when he scored century in aus he wasn't looking that good. Both should play ODI series vs Aus can't give rest when both are out of form. In t20 worldcup next year we can try Pant & Rahul as opener.

[Cricketics]

No they are overrated.

 

Many guys can be tried in t20s. But we chose to stick with same guys.

Anybody sick of these two walking out to bat in every goddamn limited over game? Even Twenty twenty. Why can't they send Pant and some other youngster ask them to express themselves.

What is even more sickening is there got steady  approach...its the same every match, ODIs or T20s...consume all the PP overs with par 7-8 rpo than expect the others to come in to score 10-12 rpo

 

It was cringeworthy today to see poor guy Shankar having to take risk every ball why Rohit just turned over strike

One Munro needed as opener for T20s

that's always been the case since start of t20s 

 

We have Rohit and Dhawan striking at 130 lol

 

[ShoonyaSifar]

In T20s, Dhawan has no place batting ahead of Rahul and Pant. Rohit is always boom or bust but can still be there.

 

Dhawan’s form is now getting into a concern zone. Far too inconsistent. 4 50s in 21 innings since Asia Cup. Just not good enough.

That too when everyone else is being rotated, Pant at 3, 4, not in the team, Kuldeep-Chahal alternatively. Only the three oldies have a fixed position- Rohit-Dhawan at the top, Dhoni when he feels like batting. Absolutely sickening 

[Anoop K]

Rohit - Yes

Dhawan - NO

 

Rohit has won many t20s in last 6 months. Dhawan should be replaced. 

[jalebi_bhai]

Dhawan is dispensable.

[mancalledsting]

no should have moved on a long time ago.

Both will come back to form when they play at home . These two where out of “form” most of our away matches in SA and Eng.

There is one great strength each these two possess which makes them good ODI batsmen , Dhawan is clutch and steps up in big tournaments and Rohit is the cleanest hitter around after he’s faced 100 balls . The question though , is that enough ? Overall they cost more matches than they win imo, but it’s  too late to make any any changes . I will be surprised if we don’t choke in the KOs of WC

Belly says no

Oh god yes.

Rohit takes forever to get going and Dhawan though a left hander is ugly to watch.

Just waiting for this World Cup to get over so that we can finally see some fresh talent.
