He still ha the same problem.his ideal format is Tests where there is no pressure of scoring runs every ball .his scoring areas are small and he can be easily restricted with good field placements.He should concentrate on TEsts and improve his keeping for now.

 

if that was the case he shud have been flop in IPL to but he has been a top player (apart from this season)

Now before u give me IPL is less quality crap well ur criticism is not the quality but pacing and it is white ball cricket

If S Dhawan does not make it try P Shaw or R Pant to open considering it is Indian conditions.

 

Just 5 bowling options in which 2 are finger spinners and pandya has back issue.  Shami wud also be on wrong side of age and ashwin fitness isnt great either.

I have no problem of playing  him in meaningless odis but he has to be better than rahul right to be a long time option?

He should play. But they will have to wait for someone to fail. Can't drop Shreyas based on two bad innings. He still averages 45 at strike rate of 100.

 

My team for 2023 WC will be:-

 

Rohit

Gill

Kohli

Rahul

Pants (wkt)

Pandya

Jadeja

-----------( need a bowler who could bat)

Natarajan/Shami

Chahal

Bumrah

Why not if Pant's benchmark is higher. Iyer for now have been inconsistent and looks to be in discomfort if playing away from home. He certainly should be part of the setup but chances has to be given to Pant as well. Infact Gill as well if we want a proper bench ready by 2023.

 

We can't repeat the mistakes similar to our preparation for 2019 where Jadhav and Rayudu( pathetic) kept on playing but Mayank was never given adequate opportunity inspite of being in good form.

Kaun karega bowling if Pandya or Ashwin breakdown in middle of match or someone leaking runs,6th bowling option is a must

Virat will never give up no 3 position to any other player in ODI  

Your squad has got fours openers we need some other middle order player

At that time, there weren't options available. Because of too much nitpicking and selection changes, it costed us the WC 2019. But I think inclusion of Pant in the LOI squad will be a good start.

 

Mayank was opener, so he had no place for him. Even Rahul has to satisfy himself as middle order bat.

I like Saha (and come on, even you used to support Saha till what 1 year back?) but also like/support Pant and not just cos he is integral part of the greatest T20 franchise :dc:. Wanted Pant in the D/N test, want more of Pant now, Team India first for me, above any individual....and Pant will serve the cause better than anyone else in the country. Saha can be back-up and a wicket-keeping mentor for Pant before he is phased out, want to see Bharat ease into second keeper role in red ball cricket.

If we persist with 35-36 yo Dhawan, we are setting ourselves up for humiliation in 2023 WC, and remember the WC will be in Oct-Nov and not Feb-Mar, so not good for the already old players. 

 

If Kohli had any sense he would try to slot in Pant in top 3 and give him a continuous run for 20 matches....will add a lot of impetus to our stale approach in this format. 

 

Pant

Rohit

Kohli

Gill/Iyer

KLR

Pandya

 

Killer top 6!!!!!

Yes, test match offers him the time to settle down and go for his shots. He has to be taken into confidence & given a long rope in LOIs, he can play Yuvi or Raina’s role in the batting line up.

 

trying him in place of dhawan also seems to be a good idea considering dhawan will be much older next WC. either ways give him time in the middle without playing musical chairs with his role & spot.

In this test series, we have seen a wider range of shots from Pant. His range of shots include

 

....  Square cut through point

....  Upper cut over point / gully

.... Cover drive on the front foot

.... Back foot cover drive/ square drive

.... Off drive on the front foot

.... Flick from fine leg to mid wicket

.... Pull shots from fine leg to mid wicket

.... Sweep against spinners.

.... Slogging over mid wicket 

.... Lofted drives from long off to long on, primarily to spinners.

.... Ramp shot on the on side against spinners.
