You don’t make no sense . No ones technique is getting tested in LOIs , if that was the case Dhawan and Rohit would not be playing that long for us . He has 2 overseas T20 hundreds in England and WI . raki05 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today it was a very good innings at a strike rate of 156. He’s still losing it between 10-15 Overs . I don’t think it’s selfish , but I guess he goes into two minds in those middle overs . raki05 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vvvslaxman Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Credit where it is due. Unlike last year where he was more flashy, this year he is being more circumspect upfront before building the innings. raki05 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either you watched ODIs in 90 or 2000s. There are few. Aaron Finch got bowled like 10 times by Bhuvi same issue as KL R. Ganguly and Raina short ball problems exposed in ODIs. Do keep with Odis.Dhawan was exposed in NZ as well. Edited April 10, 2019 by gattaca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are ok with Rohit sharma who cant play any kind of swing , but KLs weakness against inswing is a problem ? Rayudu cant pace bowling at all ? infact only Viart can claim to not have any obvious technical weakness . Like I said its pointless talking about technique in LOIs , as it rarely matters and if we do then there is no place for FTBs like Rohit/dhawan in the team as well .

KL Rahul can be a match winner on his day. He just has to become a bit more selective just like he plays here. In one dayers he will have a lot more overs to settle down. He can be like innings builder cum finisher. With Pandya coming down the order it will be ideal Rohit/Dhawan/Kohli/Rahul/Dhoni/Jadhav(Shankar)/Pandya . Now Jadhav vs Shankar vs Pant.

FU TM High average, high SR Indian batsman. Local city boy. Can keep wickets. That's like gold dust in every which way. Captain Wrogn in all his wisdom didn't even retain him for his RCB team.
