Back high SR players in LOIs

[zen]

Next 3 WCs are in Aus (T20) and Ind (T20 and ODI), where the games are expected to be played on good batting surfaces. To plan for these tourneys, Ind could have worked on developing high SR batsmen esp. for 6 to 7 positions.
 

Pandya is expected to take one of the slots so the other could have been used to develop batsmen like Pant, who is good enough to play as a specialist batsman. 

 

However, what we discovered is Ind keeps going back to the likes of Jadhav (appears to be in the decline stage of his career) and Pandey (who is more suitable for the 3-5 positions). Then you have Jadeja as well who is not a high SR batsman and played for his ability to bat but again there are other options as well that can be developed/discovered.

Do we have a plan or has the selection become a game of roulette?

Left Root out to try/discover new players: Joe Root left out of England T20 squad for matches in South Africa

 

Quote

With a Twenty20 World Cup in Australia in October 2020, the selectors wanted to look at other players, though Root does remain in their plans.

How long is Ganguly even going to be in office? 6 months? 

[zen]

In the lead up to the T20 WC in Aus, I am leaning towards the below (assuming everyone is available):

 

Rohit

KL

Kohli

Iyer

Pant

Pandya 

A bowling AR or Gill or someone like Rana (IPL19 SR 146), if you want a batsman who can bowl too .... depending on who plays among the top 7, the batting order can adjust 

 

• we would need a couple of good backups as well 

 

 

PS IPL 2019

Here is my starting T20 line up

Rohit

Shaw

Kohli

Iyer

Rahul (keeper)

Sky (don’t rate him. Think he is a another Jadhav but has earned his shot with consistent Performances being a seasoned performer and checks some criteria like being a batsman who can go from ball 1 and can bowl as well)

Pandya

Saini

Bumrah

Kuldeep/Chahal 

Shami

 

Back ups: If you need an extra spinner Jadeja in place of Saini or play both Kul Cha

 

Like it or but Chahar can bat as well and will be a back up for fast bowlers . 
 

 

Other reserves: Pandey and Sundar

 

Stand by: Axar,Shardul, MSD ( )

Good effort but not an optimized T20 line up .... Hard to justify slotting KL,  one of Ind's best T20 batsman, at 5 where he would not get too many overs to bat .... also Pandya has out performed many "specialist batsmen" so should be batting at 6 or higher .... The likes of Pant have outperformed Shaw in IPL19 both in terms of avg and SR. Shaw can be a backup opener if likes of Rohit lose form (likely to go on decline too like Dhawan)

Rahul s/r is among the best in world in powerplay and ur making him bat at 5 in t20 ......which means 2nd best t20 batsman in our lineup will get max 15 balls most days .

 

Shaw as of now has done nothing to push down a player who can soon avg 50 n has s/r of 150 in t20 cricket
