Siraj- how on earth is that guy not selected in test series and time n again we take thakur

 

Shankar- he shud have been taken as 2nd all rounder n anyone who has followed domestic cricket wud have knwn he is good enough to play as batsman only, but captain was to obsessed with keeping rohit sharma 

 

Ankit rajpoot- in which selectors , dravid are also involved as he is not even a regular in India-A setup 

Are you kidding me with you selections.

 

Thakur cannot be overlooked with out giving hima look, Siraj is better off playing continious matches than riding the bench which Thakur did for most of the tours. Siraj is not better than any main three test bowlers.

 

Shankar is not fit to tie shoe laces of Rohit Sharma in any type of batting stop overrating bits and pieces players.

 

Who is Ankit Rajpoot going to replace?? We are talking about Indian team.

 

If you gripe is about just three players then both selectors and captain have done very well.

he is good enough to be in squad, any perosn can tell he is better then thakur .

If u keep giving every avg player like thakur a proper run good luck 

actually kohli did that with rayudu n look where he found himself

So a few more questions:

Are both wristys part of Ind first choice XI and was all this just extended experimentation prior to the WC?

Is Dhoni the no 4?

Who is the no 4?

Is Pandya the 3rd seamer or 4th seamer?

 

I hope Virat knows answers to these

[Vilander]

Just chill. This team is not good enough. Enjoy the ride, they might do well if all of them click. No lower order hitters or explosive openers. Simple some other teams are better.

But who is that guy who missed out? Yes they backed wrong horses but were there anyone better.I am not just talking about no4. We don't have any explosiveness at no5 , no6 or no7.Other than Rayudu, I agree he should have never been part of Indian team.

Where are the guys like Butler, Hetmeyer , do you see those kind of talents in the system.Pandya is there as a finisher do you trust Pandya to do well against fast bowlers. I don't think he has any ability to handle fast bowlers.

 

The only chance this team has is to keep other teams from scoring. Last two matches were lost due to putrid lower order batting.

Hetymer hote hue bhi kya ukaad liya RCB men

KL, Pant, shaw, gill, shankar these are gr8 talents .......mayank, iyer, kishen, samson are not far behind . Their is no derth of talent in country 

But talent needs opp and backing. Ganguly dhoni gadhe thode na the that they stuck with guys who kept failing for yrs.....

The names ur taking wont have gone anywere under kohli. If u wanna reap benefits from a talent u need to invest time n patience . Here kohli has wasted his time on guys like DK, Pappu, rayudu, rahane (LOI), Dhawan & rohit (test) who has been failures from ages ...

You are basis on three matches and dismissing the talent like Hetmeyer wonderful.

 

Mayank, Iyer Kishen  none of them are as good as Hetmeyer in middle order. Kohli is doing fine as a captain and batsman.

 

What talented fast bowlers did Ganguly and Dhoni  back. Name one fast bowler which they made world class . Kohli has turned the bowling attack into formidable one which will compete in every country.Stop whining on every decision, he is doing just fine.

Ganguly backed guys like zaheer, nehra to the core . Why wud they make world class bowlers its their own job . All these bowlers debut under dhoni only

Kohli has done nothing apart from fitness culture 

Rest all credit is to IPL and these bowlers have matured thats its .

How many wickets did Nehra and Zaheer get under Ganguly again. Zak was useless under Ganguly. It was only in 2007  after playing county cricket season he became good .Ganguly was long gone by then. 

Ganguly was not a great captain by any means, he was okay but nothing special.Dhoni was awful in tests as captain.

Shankar is not a great  talent by any means and  Gill  not ready . Stop repeating the same names in every post. Pant is India's test keeper what else do you need.

Kohli is the best test captain India ever had  and he has been very good in odis too .

Ganguly invested, Indian team repead benefit n if u remember they both were excellent in 2003 Wc

and lets not forget that generation of pacer bigges prob was fitness which these 2 faced to ....everyone use to loose pace

 

Todays bowlers has exposure of IPL hence no one is loosing pace. Its not about credit but building something and someone needs to do the 1st thing invest which is what ganguly did 

 

By 2007 zak also had exp of 7 yrs of international cricket which helped in county

Ganguly was a good captain , far better then kohli. Tactically not gr8 but every captain has its weekness 

Dhoni was bad in test but brilliant in Odi as captin

soon ull see shankar talent 

Gill is ready 

 

dont judge players in 2-3 games or even 10-15 ...to less game if u check legends stats till these number of games ull be shocked. 

 

Why wont i repeat these names , these are one of the best talents in country and if kohli has failed to harness....wait n watch other captains wud . Ull hear these names in future ...mark my words

In numbers yes , may be i will also choose him to lead ATG indian test side but having said that no way a good captain 

Odi hahahaa- he has no idea how to handle LOI captaincy, Let rohit be captain he is a far better captain then kohli in LOI 

[SK_IH]

so, guys the team has been selected and the OP is updated. Only correction I made was DK in place of Rayudu. Now, which is the best combo Ind can make out of this selected 15?

[Stan AF]

1. Rohit
2. Dhawan
3. Kohli
4. KL Rahul
5. V Shankar
6. Hardik
7. Dhoni
8. Bumrah
9. Shami
10. Kuldeep
11. Chahal

You will have 4 wicket taking bowlers. I will be betting on bowling more than the batting to win the WC.
