straighttalk Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I think to judge Jadhav based on just these two matches is missing the main point. Every team member has a role. Dhoni is no 5 and his role is to shepherd a chase. Pandya is enforcer and his role is to go berserk. Jadhav is a combination of both. He isnt better than either in their main role but better than either in their weakness. Jadhav can rotate the strike easily and hit the odd boundaries effortlessly. He has a second gear right from the beginning. He isnt as explosive as pandya but plays comparatively risk free cricket. He does not have a defence as good as dhoni but he can play faster than dhoni. Then question comes what is his role. His role is to compliment dhoni and pandya. In a middling chase when we have lost top three cheaply he keeps the scoreboard ticking while dhojo gets set. In a high chase he shepherds the chase in the absence of the top three. His role is to be the anchor with a runa ball strike rate and accelerate as required. Why didnt he bat in the two games? Because we had the top three present in both games. He is the middle order accumulator. Ideally this is the role dhoni was playing but now he isnt the old Dhoni philcric, AK007, GautiMaan and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment

Pollack Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 The point is he just doesn't get enough points because he doesn't get enough chances to prove his point in the team. Link to comment

He is one of the worst fielders in the Indian side. His bowling is as average as it gets. The novelty factor has worn off. Why can’t we play a better bat or a bowler instead of this pointless cricketer? Also he is fragile and can break down any moment. He is just not a good enough International player. Just in the side thanks to chamchagiri. Now might fluke an innings here and there against weak bowling sides but not good enough You don't get it. He is a better bat than Pandya, Dhoni and Shankar. He is underutilized by the moron coach and captain. rahulrulezz 1 Link to comment

He doesn’t get chances because he hasn’t impressed in the chances he has got and looks bang average playing fast bowling. Poor fitness and poor fielder. Have you considered that? DK over Jadhav any day rahulrulezz 1 Link to comment

Pandya- No, Dhoni and Shankar not much of a benchmark but this is not to get your attention but DK should have been there ahead of him Link to comment

Jadhav is a better fielder then Dk currently DK is one skilled guy who can score quick runs in less balls Non reliable in collapses Drop catches, not a great runner in field Cant bowl You cant select someone for one situation only Edited June 16, 2019 by Ankit_sharma03 Link to comment

rahulrulezz Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 You guys are kidding me. So it’s his fault that India is not loosing any early wickets. How many chances has he got so far? His batting average of 44 and strike rate of 104 is not good enough that you guys want Dk whose average is 28 and strike rate of 77 ahead of Jadhav. Some of you are just plain dumb.

SK_IH Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Shankar is a better overall player than Jadhav. It's apparent even Virat doesn't rate him much now, doesn't get any overs now. Link to comment
