TNAmarkFromIndia Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Since our 4 and 5 seems to be set (for now) with Iyer and Rahul, would you like to see Kishan given a shot at No. 6? Samson is inconsistent and Pant seems to have lost his form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankit_sharma03 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 In odi- No coz He doesnt bowl , need a 6th bowling option or 5th now that pandya wnt be bowling much in coming months In t20 - 5th slot is empty so SKY, Kishen , Pant all have their chances all of them shud be ahead and one among iyer or manish shud play not both Samson is a top 3 player , 5-6 wont work for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
express bowling Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Kishan can be tried at No.5 in T20Is, as a start. Mosher and speedheat 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Wolf Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Maybe yes in T20I also can be used as a floater. We don't have a left hand batsman in MO. That's why usually get slow when spinners come to bowl.. Especially leggies. Samson & Kishan in a same lineup also looks tough. Rahul Rohit Samson Kohli SKY/Iyer Kishan This maybe good enough.

Real McCoy Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 sky or kishan can be tried at 5/6 over overrated pant. samson is the enemy of samson. unless he conquers himself, he is not ready. He has done physical conditioning this season. maybe he needs mental conditioning like DK did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
express bowling Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 So many people are having 6 specialist batsmen in the top 6. With Hardik not bowling, how do they plan to have 5 bowlers ? Even if Hardik gets around to bowling a bit, it is his bowling which is causing injuries ... and he should not be given his full quota from here on. We need Hardik at 6 and 5 bowling options after that. SKY or Kishan need to bat at 5. Mosher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly and even if hardik bowls 10 u need a backup coz anyone can have a bad day or injury last yr in Wc bhuvi was injured in game against pak, Pandya himself pulled a hamstring in NZ game n somehow completed his overs Every team has 6-7 bowling options here ppl want max 5 , no backup plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majestic Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) In ODIs, there is no slot for specialist batsmen or keeper. Rahul at 5, Pandya at 6( and I am sure sooner management will tell him to start picking up his bowling atleast as 6th option) and Jadeja or any other bowling all-rounder at 7. So, no space for now. In T20s, we have Shreyas Iyer at 4 and Manish Pandey and Sanju Samson are in squad. Personally, SKY and Kishan deserve to be in squad as much as these three. Two of these five have a chance to make no.4 and 5 as their own position. I think SKY and Kishan both can but depends on consistency. Pandya will anyways be no.6.

You want to pack our team with all-rounders but that would backfire more often than not. Pandya and Jadeja come off once in 15-20 games. Then when our team gets bundled out, you'll curse the weak batting line-up. Pandya and Jadeja are both No. 7s at best. You can't play them both, and if you do, you'll have to drop one bowler.

Short term really doesn't matter. We still need 6 bowling options, to cover for a bad day or niggle. And even when Hardik bowls, he probably should not bowl his full quota. All his recurring injuries were while bowling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
