tweaker Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 In the series against Windies Vihari provided more value to the team Khota and express bowling 2 Link to comment
putrevus Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 For this team which is so weak in batting, it is Vihari by long shot.Hardik does not command a place in this team.His batting is too weak.By playing him in England, India lost golden opportunity to win that series. Ideally you want both of them to play in the team especially on away tours but for that to happen Vihari has to open, is he willing to do that and how well can he do that is the question. I don't see how Hardik can find a place in the team for home series. Rightarmfast, Khota and Vilander 1 2 Link to comment

Yes hardik doesnt command a place but so didnt anyone else..... To his credit he played a damn good knock in Sa and won us a game in ENG.....about consistency even if u take pujara overseas ull only find 2 consistent series in his bag in all these years . Consistency overseas is damn tough for specialist forget a developing all rounder .....only virat has been that guy overseas who has been consistent India didnt lost becoz of pandya , if anything we only won one game coz of him. India lost becoz no one else apart from kohli stepped up or kohli did not have smith kind of series which is unfair on anyone to demand ......Extra batsman wont have made no diff specially when none commanded a place......and bowlers were anderson, broad who eats everyone alive in england....... Quote Ideally you want both of them to play in the team especially on away tours but for that to happen Vihari has to open, is he willing to do that and how well can he do that is the question. No both shudnt play....if it comes to that means one of them has done so well that u cant drop him which was the case with viru when tehy cudnt fit him in middle so opening was the only option left. Vihari has had a good series but owning a place is lil distant as of now.....specially we need to see more of him overseas. Good thing is he can bowl which was the main objective to get in pandya ....to add jadeja batting looks to have improved Quote I don't see how Hardik can find a place in the team for home series. As of now he wudnt which is not bad as pandya can play domestic cricket or A games if its happening. In home series we can play all sought of combination n win but planning for overseas tour is important so if Vihari is the one they think wud be an overseas choice then play him but if they think they ll play pandya then let him play n get some confidence in batting Edited September 9, 2019 by Ankit_sharma03 Link to comment
Vk1 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Rahane is anyways going to fail and fall soon.. Vihari can move to 5, Hardik @6.. win-win Real McCoy 1 Link to comment
Suhaan Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Pandya or pandyas position remains to be the Achilles heels for this side I have been supporting him since he burst on to the screen,but seems he hasn't mastered either of his two crafts,so doesn't merit a place in the test xi His performance from 2016 has been mixed bag,one two great performances here and there but mostly it has been below mediocre TM should still play him a year to back his talent and potential,then its all destiny In India i dont see him in starting xi,even if they rest Bumrah ,playing him over Saini ,Siraj will be unfair on their part VT87, Real McCoy, Khota and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment
Tibarn Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Unless Kohli trusts/develops Pandya to bowl more overs, his place in the side comes into question. Link to comment

express bowling Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 As of today .... Vihari adds more value in tests Hardik adds more value in ODIs and T20Is. But the 3rd option of Ashwin replacing the 6th batsman, should also be an option on certain types of flattish pitches. Suhaan and Real McCoy 2 Link to comment

coffee_rules Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) Hardik is a waste in test cricket. He has to earn a place either in batting or bowling. He doesn't earn it in either. Vihari is the real deal for now. Nair deserved a longer rope, but looks like Vihari it is for now. Edited September 10, 2019 by coffee_rules Khota, Suhaan, putrevus and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment

bowl_out Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 No Hardik for Tests.. simply because you can't really define a role for him as a batsman or a bowler that you can hold him accountable for... In LoIs, he is a great asset.. So Vihari in Tests for me.. he is a batsman (his primary role), who can chip in with a few overs. Khota and Rightarmfast 2 Link to comment
Muloghonto Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Vihari would be ideal in Indian conditions. His bowling is on the ideal part timer level like Segway or Ganguly and slightly below Sachin. So against SENA teams in our backyard, he provides a third spinner option for 10-15 overs an innings without weakening the batting lineup. Pandya can be more useful overseas but for that he really has to find consistency in his batting. For now it’s Hanuma. Suhaan and Khota 2 Link to comment
SUMO Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 no place for bits and pieces players in test cricket. Hardik has to get into the team based on one skill set, which he doesn't. Khota, Rightarmfast and Suhaan 1 2 Link to comment
