Almost unanimous opinions here.

Drop one of Jadhav/Shankar and play Pant/DK to offer more variety to the one-dimensional middle order

had enough of Shankar. He sucked balls today and when it was time to make quick got out to a poor shot. Rahul go out to a poor shot too. Dhoni pressured Kohli to get out. Jadhav just struggled, but was atleast instrumental in taking pressure and making sure India did not get bowled out for under 200. 

 

Shankar needs to go, Pant or DK can come in.

What’s this walking or ambling to the other end? Yes, May be only single possible but why not put pressure on the fielder to make mistakes?

he is one of the shortest players who is this Unfit ever. fark not sure how he can be so unfit.

Did Kohli actually say Vijay showed great intent in the field during the post match presentation?

What did VJ do to be called out in the post match intw?

he was pumped with that catch by Vijay.

I’m sorry but Shankar can be in the team... We need to groom allrounders. It’s a mistake that Shankar was sent ahead of HaPa. HaPa should always bat ahead of Shankar...

 

There came a moment when HaPa was sitting on the balcony and we were in the last PP. Fortunately for us, and due to AFG stupidity, Thala got out... 

It was too late for HaPa to do anything... the stink Thala and KeJo had created was difficult to sort out, especially when KeJo taking it deep by playing maiden 47th over...

no a bad idea .....

shankar did show in NZ t20 series that he is good at clearing circle in PP.......and batting Rahul in middle order will give him easy singles but still the problem wud how will they accept the change mentally 

It will be sort of demotion for KL. Also, can VS open?

This is not England or Australia either, it was Afghan. There was nothing wrong with the track as Afghan batsman showed

Track got easier to bat on as the sun dried it up a bit.  But don't let facts get in the way of your silly assumptions.

 

Indian batsmen had a bad day.  But try to keep facts in mind instead of stupidity when coming up with "opinions".

:hysterical: @sandeep trying to justify no slog maiden 47th over because they had to play cautiously as the wicket was spongy?

 

Get out of here...

Not trying to justify anything - **** happens, they had a bad day.  Not for a lack of trying.  Momentum is a thing.  Yuvraj had that over in that WT20 final.  It happens to the best of players.

Yes but we lack a left-hander in the batting line-up.its provides a diff challenge to opp spinners.One of Shankar jadav has to make way for pant depending on pitch.

If you live in West, you would know that if someone praises you a lot chances are they are trying to surprise you with something you do not like :dontknow:

That's generally an Indian tendency.. I've found people in the West giving more honest feedback

At a senior level, there can be politics so have to be careful. These type of folks use others to do their dirty work :winky:

If Shankar isn't trusted to bowl, then he gets edged out by Jadhav and Pant. I like him but agree that Rishabh is an upgrade with the bat.

The biggest joke (on us) is the selection of club cricketer Shankar. This man has barely scored a few half centuries at domestic level and tricked the selectors into becoming a NUMBER 4 in ODI and in a team like India!!! He doesn't even have an international 50, I don't care he was on 40 and got run out once. Facts are facts. Normally this position is for people with success and an appetite for big runs.

 

I would even currently take Rahane, Rayadu, Raina, Pandey over this chewtiya at 4. Some of them may be FTB but at least know how to make a 100. Jaddu can score more than him and can bowl 10 tight overs unlike him. We need power at the top too with Dhawan gone and solidity at 4. Pant should open and be told to bat at least 15 overs at okay SR, that's his job which he can do and a lefty. Anything more is a bonus. Rahul and Rohit are two slow starters. Rahul was doing well at 4, leave him there.

 

My XI from now on:

 

Pant, Rohit, Kohli, Rahul, Dhoni, Kedar, Pandya, BK/Shami, Kuldeep, Chahal, Bumrah

First thing that needs to be fixed is the team combination,What is the need for a 7th bowling option that weakens the batting.Shankar can be there as backup to Jadhav or Pandya,but as the thread suggests it is idiotic to play both especially when you have an explosive left hander in Pant.

 

Second is the approach to batting and this can be solely attributed to Dhoni,the guy can do his tuk tuking in a chase but to follow the same method when batting first is madness.There is no reason a Shami or Bhuvi cannot play a cameo in the dots this guy eats up after the 40th over(lets not even mention Hardik not getting enough time),even Bangladesh is doing better than us in this regard.

Pant is not a reliable WK.  Drops catches. Plus Missed stumpings.

Dhoni has kept poorly in this world cup. No experts have the guts to point it out.
