SK_IH Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 This guy can solve India's long standing issue of lack of 5th or 6th bowling option in LOIs. I hope TM is intelligent enough to tap his all round abilities. He can be given nonstop run to succeed & if he adapts to middle order role in ODIs especially, Indian lineup will look more rounded. Iyer has done well but I think if Virat is smart & farsighted (which he is not unfortunately), he should start in next ODI for India at 4 or 5. If he fails, there are other options available but if he succedes, Indian LOI will be much richer. Gollum 1 Link to comment

If you were to replace "smart and farsighted" with "stupid, egocentric, insecure, nepotistic, etc..." the picture would be more accurate. Agree re: Sundar. he has the game for batting in middle order. once pandya starts bowling, I think sundar-pandya-jaddu/axar can be our 6 to 8. Link to comment

But I expect Virat to under utilize his abilities as always & himself come to open to marvel at Devilliers strokeplay from the other end. Gollum 1 Link to comment

Sgattick10 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 What a wonderful knock by Washy.. Unfortunate to not get his Maiden 100 express bowling 1 Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 He is such a natural test player. Probably he surprised himself as well. He didn't go after every ball. Very selective. BacktoCricaddict and express bowling 2 Link to comment
Vickydev Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) If he improves his hitting game, he could be a game changer at #5 spot in LOIs. He looks like he can handle the 20/3 kind of situations, its the ones when he has to play at 8-10 rpo is where I have doubts about him. Edited March 6, 2021 by Vickydev GautiMaan 1 Link to comment

vvvslaxman Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 He is fairly a even tempered, calm and cool guy. His nonchalant batting is a breath of fresh air. Contrast with the nervous energy we see with our middle order. Link to comment

DeepSpace Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Indian team has shown good resiliency in the last few months I have never seen ever in my decades of watching cricket. BacktoCricaddict 1 Link to comment

Pujara when he was nonchalantly copping the blows in Sydney and Gabba. Or Kohli in zen mode when he was scoring all those centuries for fun in England and Australia. So what's this breath of fresh air nonsense like we never saw Indian batsmen being authoritative before. It's the *one* thing Indian fans over the years are most used to. I get it you cannot contain your joy over a tamil bat coming forth, and believe me so am I, but best to keep balance. Wow that is some f***ed up venting lol Link to comment

Straight Drive Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) In avery small opportunity of 6 test innings, this kiddo has scored 3 fifty's in tough conditions where most other batsmen have been troubled. Has been instrumental in drawing a test and winning couple of tests. An all-rounder who averages 66 with the bat!! Edited March 7, 2021 by Straight Drive raki05 and nevada 2 Link to comment
Vk1 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 his real contribution to Indian cricket could be as a captain.. he has a cool head on his shoulders and his demeanour, unflustered approach will be of great help in captaining LOI teams.. he should first get the opportunity to lead TN and then an IPL side like Punjab or RR..

Straight Drive Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I hope he will feature in Test Championship finals. Link to comment
