Should have gotten the chances that Rayudu got.

i feel the worst of the lot ( pandey, karthik, raydu, kedar, shreyas,vijay shankar) was Karthick. i never considered pant suitable for no 4 , he is an ideal no 6.

karthick was called back for no logic, he was not required to be brought back , just one good show against lanka got him lot of innings.

vijay shankar is not international standard bowler so he does not fit into india 14 in my books - bcos he is not the all rounder we want.

 

kedar, pandey raydu and shreyas were good batsman- shreyas has proved that he is the best.

 

once hardik returns kedar could be out but shreyas will stay.

he waited and waited... and now has done well

When will selectors and team management do their job well?

when the earth is consumed by the sun during its red giant phase.

India have got so much talented young batsman but in the end you will see Karthik batting.

yes, we will see KD, Jadhav and MSD at 4, 5 and 6 in next WC, with pandu at 7.

Wonderful to see him grab his chances in ODIs.

 

With his FC average of 52 and a Sehwagesque SR of 82, no reason why he should not be considered for Tests as well. Rahane is on borrowed time already and we could soon need a younger replacement.

gill has an even better avg and comparable SR as well. iyer can be in the queue but after gill.

Gill has played 11 FC games to Iyer's 54. Much smaller sample size.

Gill is an opener, Iyer a pure middle order batsman. Should stay that way and both should be in the team sooner than later.

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

Crazy that they ignored him last year for Rayudu and Karthik.

[Pandya_Power]

I'm just waiting for him to be tested against the short stuff, before jumping on his hype train. If he can handle that, we might have a gem #4 on our hands. He has displayed game awareness and ability to score at a fast clip in whatever chances he's had until now. And he is only 24. 

 

This will mean that Gill will have to either bat at #5 or lower to break into the ODI set-up. 

[rtmohanlal]

Iyer deserves his chances in tests as well. A batsman  of 50+ avg: in domestic deserves every bit of that . Pujara & Rahane need to be phased out with Iyer & Gill getting their chances here & there in dead rubber/weak opponent matches etc etc.

He had serious issues against the moving ball too ... apart from a short ball weakness.  Hope he has worked on these 2 aspects.

 

His intent, scoring rate and six hitting ability are big pluses.

Even i have same doubts about him......looking at his technique i feel he ll be troubled by both movement in n out .....holder in WI were caughting him in awkward position when ball his ball came in....only issue was he wasnt quick enough. Seen him play far away from body outside off which is ok in LOI but will be dangerous in test 

 

This might be the reason he is not on test radar

Love his intent esp against spin. FC SR of 82 is bloody impressive. 

His unbeaten run a ball 200 against Aus in 2017 where he took Lyon and O'Keefe to the cleaners

If there was a God, we'd have Manish Pandey, Iyer, Agarwal, and possibly Gill - all of them, in Indian LOI team today.

kohli aur rohit sharma kaha jaate fir ?

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

He murders spin bowling which is further reason why he should play at 4 and not 5 or 6.

     He is very good bet for LOI.  Very good player of spin & even plays well vs medium pace stuff. 

     Hope TM & Selectors give him #4  spot  in 50 overs matches .

     Do not think  fully ready for Tests . There is no need to hurry . Rahane is doing decently .

      Let him show his improvements in A games in overseas tours .
