zen Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 The game is at Southampton on 06/22. Challenges/concerns for Ind: Injuries to select players Batting practice to lower MO Need to rotate players in a long tournament While an upset can happen, Ind is the overwhelming fav to win this. What should Ind's game plan be? Should it: Rest some of the key players like Kuldeep and Chahal? Give opportunity to likes of Pandya, Dhoni, Shankar, and Jadhav to bat higher to get a long inning under the belt Take the initiative to rest Bumrah as well to reduce his workload as there are still 4 more games after this Discuss!

Might be 100-0 within 10 overs or out in couple of overs with flashy shots. I like the idea lol Link to comment

vvvslaxman Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Pandya opening?, may be pandya should keep wickets, pandya should do the umpiring as well. Pandya should also do thrid umpire job. maniac and Rightarmfast 1 1 Link to comment
SK_IH Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Players are coming after 6 days rest and you want more rest? Play your best XI with Shankar at 4. cowboysfan and Norman 2 Link to comment
sergio04 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 pandya opening lol he should bat around 25 overs when spinners are bowling Ankit_sharma03 and Rightarmfast 2 Link to comment
figo6762 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Will play Shankar at four in the middle . He has the most of rashid and Nabi in ipl. Link to comment
Stuge Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 BCCI should send a pool of two -three players for replacement as soon as possible .The rate at which are players are getting injured will need to replace a handful of them soon before knockouts. Link to comment

Iirc, Pant and Saini are already traveling with the squad to be drafted in if required .... IMO, they should have been a part of the original squad, which would have allowed Ind to manage the rotation and cover for injured players better Edited June 18, 2019 by zen Link to comment
Vijy Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 get batting practice for Shankar, Jadhav and Dhoni ASAP (esp former duo). I'd have Rahul, Rohit, Shankar, Jadhav, Dhoni, VK, Pandya in this order for batting. Link to comment

I would rather have Pandya and Dhoni, who are regulars relatively bat higher up to get an opportunity to play a long inning Link to comment

So at 6 or 7, TM is likely to prefer Jadhav .... Knock out games will be in July and with pitches getting roughed up relatively, Jadhav would start bowling as well .... I would not worry too much about this spot as whoever plays at the end of the day they are fringe players relatively. Will take their performance as a bonus Edited June 18, 2019 by zen Link to comment

In the best case, you have to hope that they have a good day with the ball (at times leverage on pressure created by specialist bowlers). And in the worst case, they don’t give too many more than RRR/par score RR Vijy 1 Link to comment
