Need to play Pant for Shankar

No point having both Jadhav and Shankar in there. 

 

Jadhav also actually dunno what he is bringing to the team?

 

But, we need a leftie, and a hitter like Pant in there instead of Shankar. I wouldn't have supported this if Dhawan was available, but without Dhawan, the balance is effed, and we need those quick runs, and Shankar is not doing much.

Hardik to take the number 4 slot. Pant at 6-7. Just seems like such a no brainer. You are adding oomph to the middle of the innings whilst not sacrificing power at the end and you give your best hitter of spin more overs to hit spin.

Karthik and Jadeja for Shankar and Pant.. 

 

Hardik at 4 is a bad idea.. he is needed at slog overs..

I think today's dismissal might trigger Virat to finally give Pant a chance at either Shankar or Jadhav's slot - He looked pissed when Shankar got out.

 I won't mind if Kohli gets triggered for this incident. shankar needs to go, and someone else should get 2 games before KOs. if they do even more badly, he can always be brought back.

Shankar seems to have an obvious weakness,got out in the same manner in the warmup against Bangladesh.Normally you'd back the guy as he can contribute with the ball,but this is the World Cup and we need results.

 

DK might be a more finished product who could make an impact straight away while Pant brings the X factor and a left hander to boot,you could'nt go wrong with either of these guys at 5/6.

There is NO way Bewrat is going to make two changes. At this moment be happy if DK/Pant replaces Shankar.

Kohli at the toss: Same team

I don't think Pant will get a single match.

If they drop Shankar,then questions will be asked on why did they select him over the hack Rayudud. 

On top of that regional bias also seems to be involved in team selection. Bharat Arun is probably at the back of Shankar's selection.

Yes, Shankar is there because he can bowl which he has not in last two games, so, pant can come and Dhoni or Jadhav can bat at 4.  Only drawback is Pant is a poor fielder.

There is no guarantee that Pant will score runs. Why cant we have Shaw to open for us. Exactly same reason why Pant cant be in side. They both will get their chance next wc. Keep the fire in you burning, but dont burn because of fire in you.

Yes, World Cup is on. Now players are selected and there. Shankar gives that bowling cushion. Pant is way way better bat than Shankar, but he must replace like for like.
