Pollack Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Pant in place of Karthik Extra pace bowler Saini instead of Dhoni's love of life: Jadeja DK is a water selection. Dhoni is super fit and isn't going to get injured. Besides we have Rahul who can keep decent. So if we had taken Pant along and we realise we lack sloggers down the order we could have played him as a batsman. Link to comment

Stan AF Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Calm down with your Karthik/Pant discussions. Dhoni isn't going to allow either one of them play a single game even if they were in the 15. Link to comment

Pant in place of Karthick. Perfect. I would have had dhoni replaced by one of Shaw, agarwal ,Gill as well but that's never going to happen. Link to comment

May be DK is a better guy to have in the dressing room for chit chats? lol Link to comment

He is definitely more dependable than jaddu, with the bat. he has a lot more variety now n i have never seen him in more control of his carrom ball then this IPL. We can actually make him bat up the order, he is someone in that dressing room who can comeup with out of box idea. His range of variety will atleast make opp think about him Jaddu is one tone bowler , not much variety . Link to comment
bowl_out Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Shankar deserved a spot and provides "3-dimensions" to the game. His bowling might be a little more useful in swinging conditions in England. DK vs Pant was always going to be 50-50. Neither is likely to play in the starting XI. Maybe the reason they selected Jadeja (in addition to being Dhoni's buddy) was that Hardik playing all matches is going to take a toll on his fitness given that he is expected to bowl 10 overs and contribute quick runs with the bat. I know Jadeja is not a No. 7 bat, but while playing against relatively weaker sides, they might play Jadeja at 7 and four bowlers and rest Pandya Link to comment
