You can go check the stats . Am fairly sure the impact a quick 35 from Viru had is much more than Rohits 60-70 . India’s win percentage is more or less the same Rohit scores a 100 or a zero . He’s a zero impact player .

 

The par scores in Sehwag's time were relatively low so those 35-40s go a long way for the team's cause ..... From 2008 to 2011, Sehwag was simply phenomenal:

The idea is for Team Ind to benefit. Not just Rohit, who has to make good use of the balls he play on a relatively consistent basis vs strong teams  .... For e.g. Ind should go at least at +1 RR of par score in PP. So if the par score is 300 (RPO 6), Ind should go at 7 RPO in first 10 to be 70 or more. Currently, we would be at 45-50 

yes we shud but 

1. what guarntee is that pant will find success or consistency ?

2. Rohit at 4 was a failure so why send what didnt work? n why change whats working ?

 45-50, no most days we easily get around 60

This is not saying that Ind is bad with Tuk Tuk Sharma opening. If he is in good hitting form, he can be utilized to open as well .... Or if the par score is not high 

Again tuk -tuk is makes no sense for rohit, the guy starts at decent rate and blast into unrealstic one 

16 minutes ago, zen said:

If the par score is high, we could have to optimize by getting more runs early on and having a relatively better and mature option at #4. If Dhawan batted in the middle, he could be utilized below too 

no team will do such bizzare changes before WC

it takes time for any batsman ti adjust to a role n evolve his game 

Rohit himself has said he is not comfortable batting in middle so why put ur top batsman in such a position 

16 minutes ago, zen said:

 

Players like Pant are deadly. If they fire early on, they will take the game away from the other team. If they fail, the team still has Kohli, Rohit, Dhoni to play out the overs 

Rohit is not effective at 4 which was already proven and pant or anyone has a huge benchmark to follow when it comes to rohit n ODI , so its easy to say anyone will surpass but high chance he wont

16 minutes ago, zen said:

We have to keep an open mind. Various strategies can be tried out depending upon the form of players 

such startegies are childish to adopt before a WC that to when thinsg are set 

When india made rohit open in 2013 CT we didnt have a fixed pair

After sehwag their was endless batting 

now batting ends with kohli ...after that allah malik more reason for top 3 to stay as long . 

 

Rohit is miles ahead then sehwag as ODI batsman, sehwag was an under achiever in ODi cricket so his example shudnt be even used for a player thats done better then him. If i show u rohit last 5 yr, the guy avgs 50+ every year .

 

Sehwag started quick but never lasted long and rohit bats till end and causes a damage that no one does. Just to have that cameo at start lets not disturb this pair who have been excellent. So what they are not giving excpetional start but they are giving good starts n with consistency. With those fiery starts u wnt get consistency .

Yes exactly and pitches got much flatter after 2007 and with the advent of T20s the scores only got bigger . Some fans here got mental over Rohit’s 200s and use this as an excuse  , but both tendulkar and Viru got a 200 each towards the end of their career and I have no doubts in my mind they would have done that more often had they been playing now . It’s only the Dhawan doesn’t convert his starts into big ones Sharma looks good . It’s really not a big deal to get a 200 as an opener on flat pitches once in a while these days . It’s when Sharma does not get a big one it concerns me , which is more often . He screws the team badly

The idea is to get better .... Teams should evolve and make changes as per conditions .... If the point is not to make changes why bring in players such as Pant, Shankar, why not continue with Khaleel or whoever

This is freak stuff

 

Averages are relative. Even Rayudu averages 60+ for example and many do not want him in the squad:

Sehwag was key, Rohit is a pillar of this batting

 

their is a reason sachin, kohli are considered gr8 of odi coz they made big runs. Any team will take 160-170 in 50 overs then 30 runs in 20 balls from 1 batsman

Rayudu has an s/r of 75 , rohit s/r is 92.17 as opener and avg of 57 

So impact plus consistency + runs against every top quality side

We seem to have always some excuse for the way Rohit bats .

We convincingly won in SA and NZ with no contribution from Rohit . Iike I said earlier , we do well when he gets out early . As for weak middle order , I would agree to that if sharma was saving  us from collapsing on difficult pitches on the contrary he’s the first to go if there is some help for bowlers  . This guy tuk tuks on 350 par pitches , if anything puts more pressure on the middle order everytime he gets out after wasting balls .

hows is 92..17 s/r uk tuk ....overdose of t20s 

have u seen his daddy hundred u think its easy to do while tuk tuk, u think a guy who has low s/r will have max number of sixes . Pressure on middle order...by the time middle order is batting rohit is already in 5th gear

 

I think u have seen rahane or pujara bat and confusing them with rohit

Tuktuk Sharma is a potential problem considering par scores of 300 or more ... You are asking for guarantees as if you can guarantee Ind the WC or Rohit scoring 500+ runs in it .... Pant’s explosive starts would benefit Ind 

 

The point is that we have explosive players, who can score at a higher SR, which should be leveraged upon to optimize PPs .... Rohit can bat in the middle order

The guy's record speak for himself

2nd- pant is better against spin then pace

3rd- rohit is better with cut n pulls then pant 

 

Pant is yet to earn a place n ur saying replace him with one of the best limited over batsman in world currently .

Rohit n kohli are the only guys who can help u win 300+ games which is where i have doubts about dhawan also. Problem is everyone inculding them needs guys around the, Scoring a quick fire 30-40 also doesnt get u 300+ scores

The point is that we have explosive players, who can score at a higher SR, which should be leveraged upon to optimize PPs .... Rohit can bat in the middle order

 

 

the point ur making right now, i made 2 yrs ago after CT loss that post shud also be there but thats where i learned this is the best pair in the world and they have gotten better as well. 

 

Also now is not the time

Records are relative as discussed .... Kohli avgs 91 with a higher SR for e.g. as seen in one of the stats that I posted 

 

We cannot hope to rely on 1-2 batsmen in a major tourney with 5+ top teams .... We have to develop others and adjust / optimize as per the situation (not remain rigid) .... You could score 140 vs BD and get out for 40 of 60 vs Eng, whose RPO is 6.4 in Eng since 2016, for e.g. in the group stages .... Rohit would have an avg if 90 in this case but .... 

 

Pant has the capability to destroy (and score big) so there is no harm in trying him. If he succeeds, Ind would benefit immensely.  If he fails, we still have batting to follow .... if we had options such as Shaw, Agarwal, etc., Pant could play in the middle order 

 

What happened earlier has no relation to what will happen in 2019 .... We may see some innovations in this WC .... As I said, this is about trying to get better!

1st fix the other problems rather then whats not 

also its easy to say , adjustment is a huge word - pant might still find it easy to adjust but its hard for guys likr rohit n kohli who have adjusted their game plans for years acc to one position

 

N it wont happen also, if u remeber this idea was floating around in 2015 wc to when rahane batted well in 2014 and was said to have better technique to. Rohit clearly said he was not comfortable going back at 4 and then he came back n showed he is better then rahane n here we are talking about someone who hasnt even earned the place. I wnt even recommend rahul who himself plays at quick rate

If Tuktuk can play more freely than it will help Ind more. It is not ideal to have both Rohit and Kohli trying to play similar roles in the top order 

 

It was good to see Pant being tried out in the top order in the recent T20s, where he did well in scoring games :dance:
