Add Vijay Shankar to the list. People have jumped on his bandwagon after today's performance.

I was on his bandwagon for years and the minute i saw him in NZ batting at such ease i said he is good enough to bat at 4

Many of us has suggested him for no.6 spot in test

shreyas iyer is most suitable for no 4 ..

Him and Sanju Samson have this had habit of playing everything on the up. A high risk player. In the middle you have to protect your wicket and rotate strike.

i find him overrated ....way behind rahul,pant n shankar

His batting against high quality is pace is also doubtful for me 

he bats at 3 and 4 for Mumbai and faces tushar and shardul in nets regularly...has had some 100's with huge sixes and around 5 to 6 sixes in his 100.

he is definitely a better batsman than Pant and Vijay Shankar- I agree KL Rahul is a better option than Shreyas Iyer.

 

mayank aggarwal /kl and shreyas , all 3 are in my 15 for world cup. SHANKAR is not in my world cup team. Pant can be in my world cup team not as a batsman but as a keeper ahead of MSD ( which selectors wont select)

I am not choosing pant/karthick as MSD will be selected and mayank/KL/Shreyas are batsman who can bat at no 4 as well in england , batsman who play PACE very well are going to succeed.

shikhar /rohit are our first choice but if any one has a bad form Mayank /kl can come in. shreyas plays spin very well and he is OK against genuine Pace.

mayank is best against Genuine Fast Bowling today as good as our test Opener who is recovering now. KL is not as good as mayank against Pace but against Spinners KL is better.

Iyer n pant played for same IPL franchise against same bowler on same pitches and pant showed he is miles ahead . Pant has test 100 overseas and iyer is not even on radar 

Shankar played good knocks in NZ, iyer didnt do much in SA

 

Tushar n shardul are no bumrah n shami ......facing them in nets means zilch. Iyer has issue with ball coming in out both

what has shreyas done to be even ahead of so many, last i remeber he was dropping catches in Sa an had pretty inconsistent season with India -A.

KL is better against pace then mayank ...dont go by recet series that was bad form which can happen to anyone. Mayank looses his balance while pulling or hooking

Ok guys, I've been thinking about Indian team combination for WC while taking a long, hot water bath. Starting to have my doubts regarding Rayudu.

 

These are two non-Rayudu playing XIs that may work:

 

Rohit

Dhawan

Kohli

Shankar/Pant/Dhoni

Dhoni/Shankar/Pant

Jadhav

Hardik/Shankar

Chahal/Jadeja

Kuldeep

Shami/Bhuvi

Bumrah

 

Rohit

Dhawan

Rahul

Kohli

Dhoni

Jadhav

Hardik/Shankar

Chahal/Jadeja

Kuldeep

Bhuvi/Shami

Bumrah

 

I will now close the poll.

No, thank you. 

Kick Rahul out. Banish Rahul forever

Get Shankar to play at 4.

Are you crazy? Moving Kohli from 3 is suicide

What exactly would have Rayudu accomplished here rather than maybe dropping some catches and some misfields.

 

Batting masterclass

Exactly. I will take even DK over Rahul.

Also, replace Bhuvi with Shami and Chahal with one of the Pandyas.
