Rahul has been in the scene since 2014, he is 27 if he is not among the best by 27 he never will be in his life. Stop hyping him , he is never going to be that great batsman.

Lets wait n watch

Shaw and Gill it is too early , they are still kids, where are the taleneted batsmen since 2011 world cup, we are seeing the repeat of 2015 squad.

coz rohit n kohli were young batsman in 2011 who now have become senior

Since when Pandya is good hitter. Let Kishen make the team first before counting him as something, Pant is not a good one yet.

Pandya is not a good hitter , pant is the best hitter in the country by a distant margin

Pant has 2-100s overses in eng n aus......dnt make me remind how much kohli scored in his 1st eng tour 

Quote

There is serious lack of incoming talented batsmen at this time.

their is a lack of opp, post 2019 once kohli is off captaincy ....we ll see

That lack of young batsmen is what I am talking about in this country.IPL is biggest showcase for these guys.No one in this country can complain that they lack opportunity. They have to keep churning scores.Rahul made to world cup squad based on his IPL only.Pant missed the boat due to his inconsistency in IPL also.

 

Are you for real Kohli scored everywhere  stop giving his England failures excuse to justify others.

DK was not needed as reserve. KLR is good enough for reserve keeper.

Pant should have been in place of DK as pure batsman. Pant & Pandya on flat tracks at 5 & 6 could have been a great finishing combo.

Shankar's batting is not really needed in this team.He is not a hitter & does not have any 50 so far.He will be 1 more accumulator in a team full of accumulators.His bowling is not impressive by any standards.

KLR at 3,Kohli at 4 solves batting order problem.If Kohli is adamant to bat at 3,then play KLR at 4.He has hardly got a decent run at 4.The amount of chances they gave Rayudu,they should have given KLR a consistent run at 4. KLR is definitely more aggressive & has 3rd or 4th gears compared to Shankar.

Saini ahead of Jadeja is a no brainer. They might not play even 2 spinners,so 3rd spinner is unwanted.

Shaw should have been picked in place of Shankar. If any of Rohit/Dhawan bat terribly in initial matches,he could be perfect in that scenario.

Pant,Shaw,Saini should still keep knocking the doors.A few injuries can still open their ways.

Are you serious, who is youngster who needed to be given chances in 2017 and was not given.No youngster has staked his claim.

 

The only thing missing in this squad is extra seamer.

Seriously? Theres been no youngster? We seem to live in different worlds then

What is wrong with what he said? Would a professional sportsman who gave all his life to the sport be celebrating on missing the pinnacle of that sport- the world cup after he was almost on the fringes of selection a couple of months back? You may like Rayudu or hate him or think he doesn't deserve a spot, it is hard luck for sure.

Yes...now that I think hard and long, I feel for the man.....NOT ! Chal dafa ho ja Biryani !!!! 

[nitinbwj]

Pant looks and bats like a hack. No intelligence whatsoever.

Kohli at 4 is suicide.. Might as well not play the WC..

 

Agree that DK wasn't necessary... Could have picked Saini ahead of DK.. Rest of the squad looks fine to me.

[cowboysfan]

I am hoping the selectors will realize their error and pick Saini and dump DK who is not going to play AT ALL.

[SK_IH]

Virat's captaincy at the moment is looking like biggest issue for India. This guy gives no confidence.

[swastikpanda2]

Some of the folks here are going overboard. This is a good selection and thank them that they didn't take Rayudu.

 

From Selectors perspective -

 

The combination is going to be 5 Bat + 1 WK + 1 AR + 2 Spin + 2 Pace
India will not be playing 3 seamers + Pandya in match. Jadeja will play as AR if all 3 seamers are going to play which is less likely.

 

1 Back up for Top order Batsman : KL Rahul

1 Back up for Finisher/Lower Order/ WK : Dinesh Karthick

1 Back up for spinner and AR spot: R Jadeja (sub fielder)

1 Back up for seamer: Shami / Bhuvi

 

Pandya is better than the likes of Khaleel, Shardul, Inconsistent Umesh.

And realistically taking Navdeep Saini to WC is just like taking a chance.

What’s wrong with Virat at 4 ? He’s done nothing of note at three in last 3 years . Has choked under pressure very often . 

Its unreasonable to expect him to win matches batting at 3 , which he’s done in the past but now as a captain I think the pressure is getting to him .  Am fairly sure he will have a bigger impact at 4 ,infact I think he’s the only one in this squad good enough to bat at 4

[UrmiSinhaRay]

Honestly as much as I feel sorry for Rayudu, Indian team never had a plan for that #4 spot. Instead they left it to the hypothetical plan of KLR #3.
KLR will score 1 century and then suck Every match

I know Kohli is trying to promote his mahaanta by dropping himself but it's not gonna help him.
There's a 50-50 chance we might get kicked out in group stage itself.
About Pant vs Kartik, I was pretty sure Pant was going.

Unpopular opinion :that #4 spot was reserved for Yuvi.
They had to scramble once he played like ****.

Totally screwed up squad because a 38 yr old megalomaniac, who has done nothing in WCs outside Asia, is hell bent to prove his critics wrong (has been trying for 3 years now and failing). He’s already lost us a dozen+ ICC tournaments but is not done yet.

 

And to that joker MSK Prasad, who said DK is a better keeper than Pant, someone should ask why then Pant and not DK is the Test keeper. He is an incompetent incorrigible liar.

Pluses

 

----  Shankar at 4 ... and no Rayudu

 

 

Minuses

 

----  No 4th pacer ...  4 specialist pacers needed in England ... was hoping to see Saini

 

----  What is the need  for 3 specialist spinners in England ?

 

----  Why Karthick  ?

 

now if one pacer gets out of form, they have to ask hardik and vijay to cover him up.

i think they l play 1 spinner and 3 pacers and hardik and vijay will complete 4th pacer overs.

it could be 2 pacers and hardik and vijay and 2 spinners.

Dhoni is in great form this year and a much better option than hit or miss DK and slogger Pant.this isnt T20 cricket,you need an ability to build innings if wickets fall and i dont trust DK and Pant at all.
