Expectantly wants to see him at 4 pant/Kishan/Samson at 5 samad at 6 and Pandya at 7 yup in march april next year so not far away Indian team has advantage of 2 ipl to look at before selection Suhaan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Vickydev Posted October 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2020 Top bloke for standing upto Kohli. Plus he only moved on after realising that Kohli was acting like a child. Thats a man right there. Too much seniority complex in Indian cricket right now. SKY, just for that piece of play, should be brought in.

jalebi_bhai Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 He'll get picked by early next year. There's enough buzz about him now. If you guys want to take matters into your own hands, do some voodoo/black magic or hire a sharpshooter to injure someone from the current squad so that he gets called up as replacement.

So I’m happy that SKY is in a good IPL team. Hope he makes enough money. And keep thrashing Kohli’s team as many times as possible...

While I support his inclusion our fans get too carried away by IPL Iyer and Rahul helped us win the T20 series in NZ as in they were the main contributors, he had 50+ avg and 135 SR, 2 matchwinning knocks.

Gollum Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) SKY deserves a consistent run in T20s, give him 10-12 matches on the trot at #5. I am also sure that if he doesn't live up to expectations posters here who are clamoring for his inclusion will be the first to open threads like 'SKY is a hack', 'what has happened to Indian batting culture', 'MI/Bombay bias in Indian team selection', 'middle order dilemma' and what not. Very easy to turn against players here especially after building hype. Posters had/have written off bright prospect like Rohit, Ishant, Shami, Rahul, Pant, Pandya, Iyer, Kuldeep, Sundar etc just because of some bad phases. First ICFers must grow up and understand that you hardly ever get a 100% finished product at that level, SKY will be no different.

Gollum Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) Good thing is he can still play 2 T20 WCs at the peak of his powers, one of them in India. Pretty sure he will either be accommodated in Aus tour squad (standard 'niggle' tactic under this TM) or against Poms early next year. Plenty of T20s lined up in 2021 and '22 as well which works to his advantage. Edited October 29, 2020 by Gollum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffee_rules Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) This guy SKY has been around since 2010. I checked his domestic FC record - 44.x not something will guarantee a selection like Ranji dadas who are in 55-60 range. His List A record is not something that stands him out. So others like Manish (with Aus ODI 100s), Iyer have surpassed him in optics in ListA to get selected for the National side. I agree, his IPL record is good since 2018, when he came back to MI, but until now, his FC/ListA/Syed Mushtaq Ali record is inferior to others (Maninh/Iyer/Others) in that position. Also, in Vijay Hazare/Deodhar for India C, he played way down at #6 or #7 for Mumbai in 2018/19 to get any notice for any national selection. At that place his SR is great. and not at #3, where he played for MI. Kh0li is our defacto #3 in T20 for India since 2014 where we are a force in WT20, SKY can't get that place based on IPL performance. Where do we fit SKY in India T20? He can be in the bench to replace a non-performing #5/#6 like Manish/Iyer/or Pandya Edited October 29, 2020 by coffee_rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffee_rules Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) I want him to eventually replace Iyer/manish, even without watching IPL. He has a T20 game , and we need more T20 specialists, If we select Varun or even a Tewatia (later) as a T20 specialist, SKY is a superior talent for T20 where the game is to have 360 degree ability to play out shots to 4s/6s. Hate the Kh0li/Thala play to knock around 1s with lunges and dabs. Edited October 29, 2020 by coffee_rules nitinbwj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollum Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Iyer has 28/130 stats in T20Is, ok but not great like his ODI numbers. Important contribution in our NZ T20 series whitewash, can't drop just like that. But if SKY has an opening it is only in place of Iyer. With Pandya as an unreliable bowling option, we must play 5 bowlers. Rahul cos of keeping role is providing semblance of balance, if he can't keep or gets injured we are screwed.
