gattaca Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I give him that he adapted to take up the role but he is still inconsistent and not impact full and doesn’t seem to take the game away from opposition. Link to comment
Ankit_sharma03 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) Some saying he doesnt have ability to have a mid gear- wrong Some say he isnt good - absolutely wrong Reality- No players plays at his full ability his whole career. Rahul struggled for form for one year hence it has affected him mentally as a result he has become conscious . He has done some technical changes as result he is not able to play few shots as he use to. The rest problem was evident today when he n kohli were batting. Rahul is struggling to pick length early hence he resorts to defense on a lot of occasions . This doesnt improve overnight it can take seasons Its not his ability of anything he is a complete batsman but when u dnt pick the length early u cant bat at ur best . Nyways no batsman bats at his best whole career A big reason for not picking length early is not having clear mindset........failure of his past still plays on his mind. He is coming to bat with a fixed mindset hence its not a free mindset Edited June 22, 2019 by Ankit_sharma03 bahubali 1 Link to comment
Bigg Brother Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 He is being extremely tentative in his shot selections.. He was not hitting even bad balls, accepted in the first match that It was Pakistan and he was adapting to new role but today he wasted so many balls and got out playing rubbish shot. Link to comment
rtmohanlal Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 always suspected about his flexibility and there by his adaptability in all conditions and all match situations. And it is showing off now. Also, there needed to be a left hander to partner Rohit. The team is with out no left handers . Brettcat 1 Link to comment
prasen82 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 maybe some out of the box thinking. get pant in as opener instead of VS and jadeja for jadhav.. but sadly that will weaken batting even more if pant fails... Link to comment
Nikola Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I hate it when he throws wicket. Did in last 2 matches when he had chance to score big runs. If he gets out to good ball at start then fine but when you are well set and have taken time you can't throw it in worldcup and that too twice now in row. Link to comment
rtmohanlal Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 just can't understand w.r.t why this guy was selected in the first place. even his list A record is mediocre. He is a mental midget. And his body frame & balance is a bit off for being a compact player. Even more frustrating is that we have so many talented youngsters in the domestic who are convincingly better than him in every aspect I specified. Link to comment
sergio04 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) he cant rotate strike rate when bowlers bowls in his body So After settling in opening slot he will score most of his runs in powerplay Edited June 22, 2019 by sergio04 want to add Link to comment

DHONI_FANN Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 He is playing like Tamim Iqbal. Big burden for us. Doesn't know how to rotate strike. Link to comment

This is where a lot more technically perfect, compact , preferrably left hand batsman is needed to partner Rohit. Link to comment
Number Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) There were a few experts here who were bashing Rohit Dhawan saying they are 80s style openers, are too slow for the modern game and they were the reason for whatever games we lost. Their hidden agenda was to get Rahul to open. Now Rahul is really showing us what an 80s style opener looks like. Edited June 22, 2019 by Number Link to comment

It's just about confidence for him. Over 500 runs in last 2 IPLs. Link to comment
Gollum Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) Can safely assume that batting wasn't very easy first up. Sh!t happens, now move on. Edited June 22, 2019 by Gollum Link to comment
