Rohit, Kohli, Dhoni etc have been so lucky...no worries for them when they were trying to cement their spots. its even more difficult if your boy is made of glass Link to comment

Lannister Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Rahul should just focus on IPL and modelling. Playing for India is no longer considered a respectable gig, especially under a-holes like Kohli and Dhoni. Switchblade 1 Link to comment

Now watch Kohli bhakts come in defence of their master and put all the blame on Rahul...this pig-headed, vindictive TM has done so much disservice to a gem of a talent, sad.

putrevus Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 What a blasphemy, how can anyone drop Rahul after that epic knock in last match.Poor guy has a wonderful knock and yet heartless Kohli has dropped him. Switchblade 1 Link to comment

It is highly unfair to treat players like this. Gets a chance, does not meet expectations and gets dropped. Either do not pick him or if you are picking give a fair run. RAZPOR 1 Link to comment

This is the last match before World cup, world cup is not the time for giving people who have stunk in other formats where they had been more than extended run and hope he will come good..

At no4 you need a player who can play percentage cricket, which Rahul has no clue how to do it. It is too late for him to fit into no 4 role. If Vijay does well, I rather have Vijay as he gives that option of bowling.The team they played today is the way to go in world cup with Pandya coming for Bhuvi./Shami. Jadeja and Chahal can be changed depending on which team they are playing. Switchblade 1 Link to comment

He scored 22 of 28 balls in his last innings with just one boundary , if anything it showed he can take singles . 7 minutes ago, putrevus said: I am assuming they are trying everybody. He came in the 35th over , assuming he had scored a 40 ball 60 which he could have easily done had he lasted few more overs . what exactly would that have proved ? He was a fit for No4 ?

Percentage cricket is also about assessing the situation , Dhawan was going guns blazing allowing him to settle nicely but after he got out Rahul kept on stinking without even trying to raise the tempo. Kohli gave his spot to Rahul and what does Rahul do pats fulltosses for singles. What do you call that knock. Link to comment

The knock was neither good or bad , he was being extra circumspect considering he had not played a match in a year . I would understand if he was struggling to time the ball , but that wasnt the case . Just got out early . Link to comment
