Who do you think would be the best choice to replace Kedar Jadhav at No. 6 in ODIs?

Edited February 14, 2020 by TNAmarkFromIndia

[Sandeep99]

Yadav for Jadhav 

[Ankit_sharma03]

Need to add more options

Pant

Jadeja

Axar 

[Ankit_sharma03]

In ODI's u either need a utility player or a match winner

• Manish pandey at 6 is not a match winner 
• Krunal batting is piss poor against pace n bowling suited to shortest format
• Rana- Lets see 
• dube- has to go back to n work on his issues
• SKY- i like him more for t20s 
• Pant - will form a dangerous 5,6,7 with rahul, pant, pandya
• Jadeja- not a match winner but a utility cricketer and wud be handy in 2023 WC in India
• Axar- in jadeja mould but a better batsman

Few more players can be added in 1-2 years like abhishek sharma 

 

My choice - pant, jadeja , axar as of now 

[Lannister]

Pant

[Kohlifan]

I will like to see SKY in that position, he does have earned his spot by scoring in domestics. Pant can wait.

hardik Pandya

Pandya/Pant

Pandya at 6, Axar at 7 is the way to go...Two players who can bat at a higher strike rate and take up the 5th bowling role together.

[NameGoesHere]

Given the limitation that we don't have a full team composition (who are other batsmen or bowlers in the XI?)) to take a proper call, I'd still say Yadav from the choices above.

 

But outside of the OP's list,  Pant will make it a more difficult choice.

[Gollum]

Pant

 

Imagine a MO of Iyer, KL, Pant, Pandya in 2023 WC all at the peak of their powers 

[Adamant]

Pant. 

Suryakumar yadav is strictly a t20 player, manish pandey lacks hitting ability, all others are mediocre.

[express bowling]

Hardik Pandya

 

1.  He is the ideal choice to bat at 6 ... high SR big  hitter who can hit pacers too.

 

2.  Hardik at 6 allows us to play 5 specialist bowlers and 3 specialist pacers.

 

3. It allows us to have a good 6th bowling option without compromising big hitting batting.

 

4.  Hardik is having lower back issues and should not be given the 5th bowler's role. And he is an average bowler anyway.

 

 

 

 

[tweaker]

Surya Yadav

[Ankit_sharma03]

At this point someone who can bowl is also important as hardik will come back from long injury and already someone like pollock has suggested that he shud do some changes in his action to avoid injuries.

Is he good to bat at 6? Can we trust him to score runs if he comes in early with more than 15 overs to remain? I feel he disturbs our team balance even in ODIs as well, besides Tests.

I don't remember the series. He averages 30 in ODIs. 

 

Forget about 7 as that is the position for a strong bowling all-rounder or a specialist bowler. Pandya at 7 weakens our bowling and at 6 weakens our batting. 

 

We need two Pandyas at 6 and 7, for this to work.

India-Aus 2017 series , avg 55 with bat

He averages 30 in ODIs. 

batting at 7 u cant have a high avg , we know how our top order plays taking most time and leaving very little time for pandya to only play one way . 

Even someone like yuvraj singh avg 29 till 2005 as he was batting at 6,7 with occasional promotion. His avg only improved once he batted above.

how does pandya weaken our bowling as his eco is fine and is taking a wkt every game , neways u always need 6 bowlers every team has it . His ODI bowling numbers are similar to ben stokes infact eco is quite better

 

he is good enough to bat at 5 and his avg will only go up if he bats up the order like with everyone. he plays spin well, pace n bounce well so whats the issue

You need someone to average 45+ at 6, because most likely we will be playing a specialist bowler at 7 since we don't have any good all-rounder. Pandya's 30 ave looks mediocre as per our batting requirements. I feel Pant is better equipped to bat in that position. He is similar to KL and can survive more than 15 overs.

Pandya's bowling average is 40+. He is at best can be used as a 6th bowler, not as a 5th bowler, and his batting is not upto the mark which is supposed to be his strong suit.
