India's GPS (Gill, Pant, and Shaw)

A thread to track how these 3 talented youngsters are groomed to achieve success at international level. 

 

Gill (current age 20): A good prospect. I saw him in the ODI series in NZ where he looked like a deer caught in front of the headlights. Probably needs a plan to transition into international cricket. Needs to work on the mental aspects of adjusting to international cricket and expectations. Fielding can improve too .... In 2 ODIs so far, averages 8 with a SR of 50 

 

Pant (current age 22): A WK AR. Has played some international games in all 3 formats.  Looks at ease in international cricket as he has already hit  test 100s in Eng and Aus as a WK batsman. Appears to be a rare talent who can shape into a good impact player in the mold of Jayasuriya, Gilchrist, Klusener, etc. (Don't expect every youngster to be some version of a Kohli or a Tendulkar. That would be like expecting every dish to taste the same. Much like cuisine, cricket needs different type of players) Comes to the crease as if he is already batting on 100 (again a refreshing change). Has only played 16 intermittent ODIs but many unrealistically expect him to perform like someone who has played 350 games. Instead of being given a consistent run, has been in and out of the squad. Needs to improve his keeping  .... Averages 44 in 11 tests. Has a SR of 71. More importantly has hit test 100s in Eng and Aus 

 

Shaw (current age 20): Has been drafted in the test squad but appears to be a multi format player. Plays aggressive cricket too. Should be a regular prospect in tests at least but has suffered injuries. Needs to work on his fielding .... Averages 118 in 2 tests, which are scored at a SR of 94

 

 

These guys are at a stage where a consistent run in international cricket could help them shape into better cricketers. Have to see how India and fans (including fans of the "old" players whom these 3 replace) treat these talented youngsters. Within the next one to two years, ideally,  you would want these players to be regulars in the Indian team. Though ideally they should  already be in the scheme of things for T20s. 

 

Let's hope for the best for these talented youngsters.

      I dearly hope new seletion commitee takes a punt on Shaw and includes him in T20 WC  15 side

      Hope he replaces injured Dhawan for NZ T20.

If selectors had shown foresight, NZ T20s was a great opportunity to play youngsters. And there are 5 games so that allows them to settle down in the series as well

Shaw and Pant are on NZ 2020 tour. Pant is in both LOI squads, while Shaw is in ODIs but could have been included in the T20 squad as well. Both are also likely to be in the test squad
 

Should be fun watching these two. Attacking players usually look good and do well down under

Looking from test match perspective only - It was Pujara Rohit Kohli Rahane back in 2008,2009..they are doing pretty well now..but for all theseplayers there were also players like Badrinath,Abhishek Nayyar, Manish Pandey (just check 2009 Ranji Final.Karnataka lost by 7 runs chasing 338..Pandey scored 144 of 151 balls),Manoj Tiwary,Suresh Raina who really didnt make it at the top..its not only your ability but also things like luck etc

Gill is not doing that well on the Ind A tour to NZ ....  I wasn't impressed with his ODI stint but can look past that as it was his first series. Hope that he can pick up his game for Ind A

This thread is classical ICF lotus eaters who have zero clue about talent.  Luckily I am here to correct that.

 

Follow me as I follow: 

 

1. The glorious immediate (right around the corner, I promise) potential of

 

ThUD:  Thakur, Unadkut and Dube

 

2. The electrifying future promise of 

 

DADS:  Dhoni, Amit, Dinesh and Stuart

 

all the while smelling

 

3.  The sweet bouquet of talent which is 

 

JhAANTS:  Jad(h)av,  Aaron, Ambati, Negi, Tiwary and Siddarth

The talent of ThUD is unparalleled,  a homage to a factory that keeps churning up such world beating talent over the years. And appropriately who is more better equipped to appreciate such potential than DADS. Dhoni would happily recruit the ThUDs  to CSK

Shaw

Agarwal

Pujara

Kohli

Rahane

Gill

Pant 

Bowlers

Random prediction : Gill will be the most successful because he has the most "marketable look" for advertisements

Not enough you need that personality. Pant already has developed that personality. Gill seems to be a little meek.

F*** marketability. We’ve seen what a chewtiya Pandya has become after being one.

 

id rather have a solid test batsman who can give support to Kohli for the next 3/4 years and then pick up where Brat left of.

He should adopt Rahul Dravid as role model. There were so many female fans for Rahul Dravid  back in the days. He never acted like these guys.
