Still didn't bat 50 overs. It means tail is way behind other countries

Agreed . Early days but with Jadeja bhuvi and kuldeep on a flat pitch u have decent bowlers who can bat 

add bumrah and pandya and attack can bowl ok 

 

add shankar at 4 and jadhav at 5 - u get extra bowling options and batting options 

 

its the best we have

Suck it up and come to terms that we're not going to win or even reach semifinals this time. We wasted 3 good years after world cup to finalize #4. Now we pay for it..

Which would be a tragedy since with an inferior line up we reached semifinals last time.

Jadeja demonstrating his value in practise Match 

him bhuvi and kuldeep make decent tail 

 

He did not get a 80 or 100 that could have made a real difference.He is no Kapil or Symmonds.

Most times at his position he would be required to score 25 or 30 of 10,15 balls,he is not capable of that.

Maybe he could be tried out at number 5 purely because of left hander factor but this TM wouldnt want to upset the status quo.

U don’t need a Kapil or symmonds

 

modern odi and t20 batting is about cameos - 20 ball 25 may be a match winning score and 100 ball 90 a match loosing 

 

Jadeja - if he succeeds it’s a bonus . 

 

Look at how the lineup looks with Jadeja at 3- 

 

Rohit and Dhawan ( I would have taken Agarwal to World Cup as he is a more solid player . Rohit will be the reason for us loosing this cup though I hate Dhoni now , at least he keeps well ) 

No 3 cos he plays good aerial shots - they don’t go long but definitely go over infield . He is ur guy  to give u impetus 

no 4 kohli 

no 5 rahul or karthick ( pant would have been ideal ) or Shankar 

no 6 Dhoni 

no 7 Pandya 

no 8 jadhav 

6.7,8 are interchangeable as per match situation 

Kuldeep 

kumar/shami

bumrah 

 

notice that u have good left arm rt arm mix . U get a Jadhav walk in late and he plays all around the wicket

Our top 7 is settled and Bumrah, Shami, Kuldeep and Chahal are our 4 best bowlers. This makes

our tail long and we need someone at 8 who can bat. I'd play BK at 8 because of that. Kuldeep and

Chahal are must against non-subcontinental teams. So can't replace any one of them with Jadeja.
