He can take on the fast bowling and play the big shots in the powerplay. Stop fiddling with his order and make him a permanent opener. I was thinking on the same lines. We are guaranteed of a fast carefree approach when he opens.

Yeah he was doing really well, we saw how he turned into viv in world cup and was scoring at 200 str rate. Please don't delude yourselves these guys can play only in ipl speedheat 1
Straight Drive Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Only one batsman out of 6 has strike rate over 90. Disgusting. And 90 is a poor sr as well. Edited December 2, 2020 by Straight Drive
rollingstoned Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 For the same team a different captain will have a galvanizing effect so much so that it will start performing in a manner that is unrecognizable from what we have seen for much of this cursed year. Captains on average have a shelf life of only 5 yrs if they even survive that long, this is doubly true for an all format captain like kohli. A 2 yr stop gap like r sharma won't be the worst idea though knowing indian crickets bureaucratic methods this is a long shot. Expect tepid low intensity performances off the back of a recently concluded pyjama league without that. Our best bet is a surprise in the test series.

He can't open and keep. It will be too much for him. Given how fragile he used to be at the start of his career, it's surprising he hasn't got injured despite keeping regularly.
cricketfan28 Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 need 100 from kohli ..that should make me feel better. RAZPOR 1

When I see batsman like Iyer, Shaw etc., Rahul is much better. The fact is we are no longer producing batting talent like we once did. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk That is point people are not able to grasp. Indian batting talent is not the same.Kohli and Sharma are last talent players to emerge but they emerged over a decade ago.. Edited December 2, 2020 by putrevus Austin 3:!6 1
Adamant Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 @Ankit_sharma03 please enlighten us how this collapse is also Kohlis fault.

Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk I think we are producing enough batting talent, but our talent is succumbing into pleasing the Franchise owners. Shaw is a classic example, made a great debut for India in test, but lost his shape completely playing T20 and IPL. Rahul was also a classical Test batter when he burst into scene, but now hes neither in Test reckoning nor a consistent player in white ball cricket. Our batters look confused and lack clarity in how they would like to progress in their career further. Edited December 2, 2020 by Sean Bradley Austin 3:!6 1

Adamant Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 Let me make it clear. Rahul is not good enough to tie shoelaces of Babar Azam. rollingstoned and Laaloo 2
ShoonyaSifar Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 17 minutes ago, Cricketics said: How many times we will keep finding excuses. Number 5 or 1 or number 3, Rahul hasn’t learned how to be consistent in international cricket in 50 overs and test. You have 30 overs to bat and you play this shyt shot Himself to blame. Horrible. Iyer and Rahul have been the best middle order batsman for us since the WC. A couple of failures here do not make them bad players. Both carried the team in NZ Cricketics 1
rollingstoned Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 Kohli got out like a mug there. Split in 2 and playing all around it.
maniac Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 Now time to send message to SDP that this match is over
