kohli Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 10 hours ago, Frustrated said: Raina was the Man of the Series and highest run getter in the 2006 Ind-England series held in india. India thrashed the poms 5-1. By the time that series started, raina had hardly played 15 odis. That series sealed his spot for the indian team. And it bore fruit later on, in the crucial WC 2011 SF against poyz where our middle order had collapsed , but raina stood up and took us to a winning total on a sluggish pitch. Eventually we won the WC. Apart from his usual batting skill, he was an excellent fielder too and a part time bowler who gave us crucial breakthroughs at times. His contribution to the side was immense. Yuvraj was man of the series in that series. After 36 odi raina had only 600 run at avg 26 and sr 69 with 3 fifties. Give some time to pant 40 to 50 odi Ankit_sharma03 1 Link to comment

Vickydev Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 As a pure batsman Iyer can't hold a candle to Rahul. It's just that KL is muddled in his thoughts, now after today he should be moved to the middle order for a while . Also we need to move on from the likes of Iyer who is a poor man's Rayudu and give the chances to Gill or Mayank. He will be a disaster in the T20 WC as well. Link to comment

rtmohanlal Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 was a perfect inns required of him today from Rahul. But has he got it in him to do it on a consistant basis and in all conditions? Too early to tell. Any way, now that he has played this inns, he should be given a few more chances at 4 or 5. Link to comment

putrevus Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Marnus is example of player forcing his way into selection for another format by performing in one he was chosen.Rahul has nothing to complain about he has been given ample chances in all formats.Who cares if he does not get all chance in ods/t20s in one spot.

Even his T20 record is testimony to this. I mean it seems he is more at ease in scoring in T20 mode rather than anchoring which he was doing as an opener. As an opener he would score a '58 off 75' then would get out soon when it was time to cash on it. It seems his temperament & fitness both are suited to this T20 mode batting and hence would be more ideal at 5. sarcastic and express bowling 1 1 Link to comment

Looks like we need Iyer/Gill/Someone at 4 as consolidator and KL Rahul at number 5 position where he can bat in T20 mode. His today's innings is a T20 one that is very suited for ODI late middle order batsman. express bowling 1 Link to comment

Such a good player is good enough to play 50 overs. Give time and security he ll find his game. Thats the job of seniors like Rohit n Kohli to tell him to play his natural game Edited January 17, 2020 by Ankit_sharma03 Link to comment

If he can take up the keeping duties full time then Pandya at 6 and Jaddu at 7 will be a very potent line up for odi. Link to comment
putrevus Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Let him play few more innings like this before making plans for 2023 world cup for Rahul. Link to comment

Thats the job of seniors like Rohit n Kohli to tell him to play his natural game what ever it be, his track record shows that he is not good at playing long inns , Even his test record conversion rate is not good, mere 5 100s in 60 inns.Seems he has temperament problems to go big. But one thing for sure is that he is so good in T20 mode and hence ideal for 5th spot at least in batting friendly conditions.Having said that he could have used this t20 mode as an opener too with power plays being more ideal for that.

Pandya/Dubey can be that pinch hitter at 7 depending on the conditions. Ankit_sharma03 1 Link to comment
