Majestic Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) If I put SKY in place of Shreyas in this match, I don't see SKY playing any better than this. So, sorry I don't buy this agenda of hatred towards him. If Indian cricket starts following the rule of Indian experts over here, the amount of insecurity in the team would be ridiculous. That is poor management of the team. Bowling attack was top notch and Shreyas scored 67(48) after playing some proper cricketing shots while rest barely scored 55(72). I am not even sure if someone like SKY or Kishan would even score runs at 21/3 or not like Shreyas did and that's why he will be my no.1 pick for ODIs. In T20s his only problem I can see is once set, he will not make a difference of 15-20 runs in final overs like KL, Pant, Pandya, Kishan etc would. I would like to see if SKY can make that difference in international T20s against this level of attack. Rest all his weakness are way too overblown.

Suhaan Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Indian cricket will never thrive in current dynamics People talk Iyers under the radar innings ,but if you put even a decent domestic batsman he would too score some without making any impact Iyer can stay if we don't field kohli,dhawan But Kohli won't do it,you know it why So it is like having three featherweights competing against heavyweights of the game,you don't expect them to deliver knockout punch Mosher 1 Link to comment

If Iyer can play then how do you not care about him lol.. Anyways, Kohli is not going anywhere. I do agree that India's problem is that with Dhawan, Kohli and Iyer, they have 3 anchors. It just doesn't work in T20 that you play 3 anchors in top 6, add Sundar also as his batting is useless at 7. So 4 anchors in top 7. This need to be changed. Now how you change it needs to be rectified. Sundar should either play as second spinner or not play. He is not cut at no.7 either. Link to comment

When the other option is Chahal I'll play Sundar over him every single time. At least he won't be carted around like him. Three Changes I'd like to see next game are Kishan in for Dhawan & Tewatia in for Chahal. Replace Axar with Saini. Kolli isn't going anywhere better be used to it. At best we can hope he gets out without wasting many balls. Link to comment
New guy Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) Pant, if he comes off, can single handedly win watches. He is of the caliber of those explosive batsmen in t20s and should open like they do. There is a reason Gayle, etc open innings Iyer can at max play these Babar Azam kind of innings and can be more consistent, but needs others to attack around him to win matches Edited March 13, 2021 by New guy Mosher and RAZPOR 2 Link to comment
RAZPOR Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 if a 60 of 50 ball kind of innings is your idea of a matchwinner,sure. But let me tell you ,iyer would never play for England T20 Side and there are good reasons for that. I ll put atleast 6 batsmen before iyer plays for india in t20s . He is perfectly fine in Odis but not t20s. Mosher and Lone Wolf 2 Link to comment

I hope Kolli has another stinker of an IPl like last time & this lean patch continues forever. But pretty sure he will go to Sri lanka & Zim tour later in the year for stat padding. Chase Master Super V rofl.. His fans will go gaga RAZPOR and Mosher 2 Link to comment

I am sure if one of them fails ,we ll get in pandey and the cycle will repeat and sky might just jump of a cliff. thats the tragedy of this team under kaptaan. Lone Wolf 1 Link to comment
