Who could be benched next?

[zen]

esp. when/if Dhawan returns, Iyer or Pandey or .... 

[zen]

Post IPL, maybe working towards the below:

 

Rohit

Dhawan

Kohli

KL

Dhoni

Pandya (if fit)

Jadeja

2 from: Thakur/Saini/Chahar/Bhuvi/Shami

Chahal

Bumrah

[G_B_]

please no chahal

 

if where was a definition of basic bitch in cricket, there would be a pic of chahal

Dhawan does not belong in 1st choice XI.  Neither does Jadeja.  Nor Thakur.  The fact that latter 2 are being given this long a rope, and the chance to put up "performances" to make their case, makes me very pessimistic about India's WT20 chances.

It surprises me how much folks under-rate Chahal, is it because he's a skinny 'homely' looking fella.  The guy is a big-time leggie who has the skill, heart and mindset to bowl under pressure.  All bowlers get smacked in T20, especially spinners.  The guy comes through more often than not.  

 

I suggest you take another look at his performances, not his personality.

Rohit

Dhwan 

Kohli

Pandey

Dhoni ( keeper/mentor/father-figure/ half credit taker/ half captain)

Jadhav 

Jadega 

Tahkur ( pinch hitter in both batting nd bowling)

Bhuvi (knuckle-1)

Deepak (knuckle-2)

Chahal (scare crow)

 

Looks to be ideal xi for t20 wc in aus.

Can’t field,Can’t bat and he is no Shane Warne/ Kumble. So overall useless if he keeps having more off days than good ones

Define "off day".  Does this game count as one?  

 

He actually did well in the field today too, some quality saves infield and out.  

 

Hating on a spinner because he's "not Warne/Kumble".  Great reason.
