Replacing the greatest odi opener of the last decade is not logical just like replacing the greatest no.3/ greatest batsman’s position to accommodate Rahul isn’t.

 

Rohit has all 5 gears+ 2 more. Rahul can play in the 4th gear throughout. Sorry I am going with a 7 gear premium car.

Which gear was he in today?

Rohit is in sh!t form. World Cup is no time for drastic changes. Rahul should be settled for 4. How I wish we had Pant as a pure batsman in the team. Would have been a very good batting lineup. Jadhav can bowl a bit while Pant not which went against him. And of course Dhoni should feel secure.

 

Most probable lineup :

 

Rohit

Dhawan

Kohli

Rahul

Jadhav

Hardik

Dhoni

Kuldeep

Chahal

Shami

Bumrah

Well he's not setting the world on fire @1 either, he only knows 1 way to bat & fails consistently against the moving ball. People claiming this guy is one of the best openers ever need to hang their collective heads in shame, FFS tulleybaaz Fucher/Imam/Azam avg above 50 so this guy's return in bilaterals is hardly world beating 

It isnt people, its one obsessed fan who trolls with multiple ids.

Honestly, he batted just like Rahane would have. I am seriously unimpressed by this dude. Next Hahane in the making.

Didn't replace rohit but surely got chance to open. Bad thing is he has gotten start in all matches and he has thrown it away all time.

One of my posts .... KL is good at #4 but would not mind him opening in lieu of someone like Pant, who was considered for a spot in the squad 

 

 

yes, esp against SL and Bang, neither of whom have top-grade pacers.
