Dhawan/Rohit will be 37/36 in 2023; need to be phased out

[Dil Dil India]

I hope the team management has enough sense to ensure that these 2 guys are phased out! Itll be tempting to play both till then but we don't want to go into WC 2023 with our top 3 37,36 and 35 years old respectively. At least by 2021 CT, this should be our team:

 

1) Shaw

2) Rohit

3) Kohli

4) Gill

5) Pant

6) Pandya

7) Jadeja

8) Bhuvi

9) One of Kulcha/someone else 

10)Shami (assuming he's actually 28 now)

11)Bumrah

 

[Forward Defence]

Kohli, Rohit should rest themselves for some series and give guys like Pant,Shaw,Gill and Rahul a long run. Would also like to see Rahul Chahar and Navdeep Saini in the squad asap

[Arvind32]

I hope they stop worrshipping them like Dhoni , as far as team is concerned i think India has plenty of talent they should give more opportunities to young talented players for first 2 -3 years and then assess the pool on the basis of that rather than going for same same players.

Rohit, Dhawan, Dhoni, Bhuvi, Shami, Jadeja, Jadhav, Shankar, etc., have played their last world cup.

What have Bhuvi, Shami and Jadeja done wrong? Others I agree with although Rohit might have an outside shot at 36, considering he will be 2 years younger than Tendu in 2011.

[shami_123]

Rohit, Dhawan and Shami should be phased out... Or else at 35+ years of age you are waiting for disaster in next world cup. 

Very unfortunate end for Dhawan and Shami in this WC; feel for them, top performers 

[Jimmy Cliff]

LOL yahaan Dhoni ke phase out hone ke vaande hain, Dhawan/Rohit toh door ki baat hai.

Ideally it should be but with our emotional fans and stupid TM, you never know.

Likely to lose pace, while form/fitness is unsure. Jadeja may have a chance if he is able to improve his batting as we have a lot of competitive spinners coming out, who could be hitting good form in the next 2-3 yrs

Dhoni will go hopefully. He'll be too old then (already is now). Let's talk about other players instead of stuffing ourselves with Dhokla and Dhoni in every thread.

Ideally Kohli and Rohit (max) should be the only 32+ players in the next WC. We need young legs and new blood.

[Forward Defence]

Kohli should not be playing each and every ODI series. He must focus on tests and try to solve the few remaining weaknesses (openers and no 5) in our test side. Do not want him to exacerbate his back pain due to overwork.

Rohit and Kohli should take turns captaining the ODI side and take breaks along the way. Rohit will probably get another go in test cricket. Pant has to play each and every game for two years irrespective of his performances. He will eventually turn out to be a match winner.

Suck My Dhoklas

[vijay50]

No need for dot ball king and poor strike rotator Rahul. He is memtal midget like DK and a pretender. Shaw, Gill etc must be persisted with

I know someone who will take up this offer. @Shaz1

[Bigg Brother]

Same siyappa wil happen again in 2023..Dont retire Rohit, Dont Retire Dhawan, ICC tourney specialist and 3 double hundreds and blah blah..These guys take Indian team fans for granted.

 

 

Indian Cricket team and management is totally *ed up, billion people just waste their time costing their productivity behind this nonsense.

 

Even if New Captain is appointed or New Player makes his name as Superstar in next 4 year we will hear the same nauseating things in press conference from them, "I grew up watching them, He is always my captain, He is my idol, I will jump from Fourth floor that X,Y, Z player".. Kohli was promising in 2014 and looked like He wont accept this nonsense from Grandpa but on the contrary totally opposite happened and he turned out to be the biggest sucker of Dhongi.

This is why if we were not gonna win the Cup, a humiliation would've been better than a SF exit. Right now they have done the bare minimum which is why there is no outrage. At best the likes of Jadhav and KKD might get dumped.All the fat cats will be safe.

First phase out dhoni then talk about others
