nsareen Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Who would be the captain now ?? Who would be the designated all rounders now ? Many questions for selectors to thing through ?? thoughts ? Link to comment
ash Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 The only open spot was Jaddu and Sundar easily comes in to replace him for the time being . Siraj for Shami. Thakur Nattu Saini all should wait for their turn, no place for them now. Rohit Gill Pujara Kohli Rahane Pant Sundar Ashwin Nadeem Bumrah Ishant Link to comment
R!TTER Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Kohli should not be the captain but he will be - 99.99% certain of that. Doesn't matter, we have a good enough pool to choose from. Personally I'd go with a few having an eye on the future. No oldies or players around 30, except Ashwin I guess especially with Jadeja missing. No questions for selectors - TM i.e. Kohli is the final authority here! They're just there to rubber stamp his orders Link to comment
kubrickian Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I think Kohli will still be captain. Even before this tour, Kohli was fairly successful as captain, so cant see him getting replaced by Rahane. Link to comment
nsareen Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 but wont removing rahane from captaincy be a big unjust. ? Maybe they think of having different captains for different teams... Link to comment

Siraj in place of Ishant is a possibility too. Link to comment

That should be enough, provided his abdomen has healed. McGrath was saying that too much rest is not good for fast bowlers and their performances drop. Link to comment
express bowling Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 1. Gill 2. Rohit 3. Pujara 4. Kohli 5. Pant 6. Rahane 7. Sundar 8. Ashwin 9. Kuldeep 10. Bumrah 11. Siraj Link to comment
jf1gp_1 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 None. We will continue see India keeping with Rahul in shorter version, with Dhawan opening. Test team wont see much change either except pant for saha. Rest whoever is fit will be back to fill slot of natrajan saini and shardul Link to comment

Maybe they think of having different captains for different teams... I dont think the selectors will remove Kohli from captaincy... If at all, it should be Kohli who should move on from captaincy atleast in 1 format. Anyway the shelf life of a cricket captain is 5 years and Kohli is quite near the end I believe. Link to comment
deepdynamo Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Jadeja injury have messed up our balance slightly. Can we play both off spinners- Ashwin and Sundar in playing XI ? Kuldeep or Nadeem both can't bat. We don't want an extended tail. Batting has sorted itself out with GOAT like performance by Pant. It looks like end of road for Saha though he will be in squad as back up keeper. Link to comment
prudent_kreeda Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I think by now most would be clear as to who are the real quality players who need to be persisted with . There should not be any doubt about Gill , Siraj , Pant . They just need a long stint in final 14 team in tests for some time Now you need to include KL Rahul and Shaw in the Test 14 team . KL for a MO place to start with . He will also tighten up his game soon. When they hit form and become consistent - KL , Gill , Shaw, Pant are all match winners . Link to comment
deepdynamo Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 If everybody is fit and based on the past and present performances, these are our core group in test cricket moving forward Openers: Gill Rohit Mayank Shaw Middle Order: Kohli Pujara Rahane Vihari Rahul WK: Pant Saha Spinners: Ashwin Jadeja Kuldeep Sundar Nadeem ( or Axar ) Fast Bowlers: Bumrah Shami Ishamnt Umesh Bhuvi Siraj Saini Thakur Link to comment
Norman Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 It all depends on what conditions we get in Chennai. If it's a typical dry turning chepauk wicket..then we must go in with 2+2 with Sundar at 7.RohitGillPujaraKohliRahanePantSundarAshwinKuldeepIshant/SirajBumrah Link to comment
R!TTER Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 We haven't dished out dustbowls at Chennai in eons, it's usually a very flat track. We'll probably need 5 bowling options in there. Link to comment
New guy Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Don't be surprised if Pant is dropped for Saha, based on the statement by Shastri today GoldenSun 1 Link to comment
