Is this the weakest Indian batting team to feature in a WC?


Recommended Posts

Ok, this is a wrist slitters' thread. 

 

Dhawan out, Rohit is on/off and Rahul is tentative

Kohli is fine, no drop in form

MO - Shankar, Dhoni, Jadhav - Not enough exposure and very slow if there is no platform set

Late MO - KarKeAaaya is  in great form, used as pinch hitter in two matches and delivered, 

Tail batting - Very Very bad compared to other teams

 

Bowling:

 

No worries so far, Bhuvi to Shami was seamless. Spinners are great. 

 

Fielding: Jadhav is the weakest link. Need Jadeja to field in every match.

I saw KulCha fielding improved leaps and bounds. Kul saved couple of boundaries and Cha took a great catch

 

One off match, all that could go wrong went wrong, with the batting. SUch an effort in KOs/SFs/Fs will be very disappointing.

For next match

 

KL Rahul

Rohit

Kohli

DK

HPandya

Dhoni

Pant

Bowlers

 

The problem with this lineup is that we only have five bowlers and Pandya has to bowl his 10 overs, which he has in the recent games, but just in case any of the bowlers has an off day, we won’t have any other option.

Exactly.. it gets tricky with five bowlers... 

 

I would go with.. 

Rahul

Rohit

Kohli

Karthik

Shankar

Dhoni

Pandya

Jadu

Chahal/Kuldeep

Bumrah

Shami

 

We are underestimating Karthik's potential.. he has two gears.. he can consolidate and also tonk a few..

I also gotta mention that Kedar Jadhav got really bad attitude.. he does not want to take responsibility it seems.. doesnt want to grind.. common.. you are one of the chosen 11 or 16 from billion people.. show some grit man..

I see Ind’s batting as Kohli + Pandya. Others are like Pakistani batsmen and/or score big after receiving multiple chances

There is no games as practice games in world cup. With Jadhav scoring 50 last game, chances of Pant coming in are slim but I agree this lineup needs Pant for sure. Also watch out for some desperation from MSD, he has lots of points to prove.

Compared to 2011 lineup this one belongs to a minnow!

Even 2015 batting was much better
