Austin 3:!6 Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 Rahul after multiple oppurtunities, still not finding his feet. Not sure what has happened to him but he is woefully out of form. He is also struggling to score runs in IPL. Though Shaw has not set IPL on fire either but anyone watched him bat will concur that he looked much more assured in the last 2 games playing for Delhi Capitals. With Rohit/Dhawan already strugging, shall we pick another out of form opener in the shape of Rahul or pick Prithvi Shaw in the world cup who has got good record in Eng playing for India A. Discuss.

Austin 3:!6 Posted March 27, 2019 Author Posted March 27, 2019 Neither.Who then? Must have a back up opener. Don't see Rohit-Dhawan lasting whole tournament.Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Risky to go in such a long and crucial tournament without a back up opener. Also, looking at Rohit-Dhawan's form, don't think both will make the playing XI by mid tournament.

zen Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 Don’t need to play slow and struggling Rohit and Dhawan unless they show good form. Dhawan though has a great ICC record Options include Pant, Agarwal, Shaw, etc.,
flamy Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 Nitish Rana He can bat at opening, or at #4. He also fits the bill for being absolutely off-radar, and to be a surprise weaponz. Of course, need to to wait to see if he can consistently surprise us for the rest of the IPL. Maybe, there are other surprises waiting DHONI_FANN and jusarrived 2
DHONI_FANN Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Mayank Agarwal may be Suhaan, Nonbeliever, speedheat and 2 others 5
Nonbeliever Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Dhawan is declining rapidly. Rohit will score cheap runs against mediocre teams. India should not rely on them if they want to win the world cup. But they will. Mayank looks a good option.
vvvslaxman Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Can't believe this guy has played 34 test matches lol Still trying to establish himself in all formats.
Suhaan Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Mayank Aggarwal is the most apt name He has the hunger and im sure once he gets an opportunity even in Wc he will grab it with his both hands Problem is both our operners are declining simultaneously DHONI_FANN, putrevus, speedheat and 1 other 1 3
Khota Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Rahul between the two choices. Still disappointed with him though. Suhaan 1

prasen82 Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Leave apart Kohli there is no batsman in Indian ODI . I would rather have them take a gamble like 1992 pak team by going in with Young folks. Pant, Gill ,Mayank and VS should be in squad . KL is mentally shot now. No point hoping him to come back to form . Suhaan 1

He has the best balance. ABility to play long. Also ability to play positively without taking too much risks. Suhaan and flamy 2

They are in their 30s and rapidly declining, especially Rohit. We should have groomed an opener long time back but I blame lack of vision from Kohli/Team mgmt. With our fragile middle order, its imperative to have the openers firing. Our batting actually looking very weak (suddenly) and its all Kohli or nothing. Selectors need to swallow their ego and send few promising young batsmen for the world cup. Else, forget reaching semi finals. Suhaan 1
