Jaddu is so so vital even more than Ashwin in India. Kuldeep is sure to play I reckon. We need one bowler turning the ball away. Or else we will have 3 doing the same if we pick Sundar. So Axar is an easy choice Link to comment
ShoonyaSifar Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 If Axar is picked ahead of Kuldeep, release Kuldeep from the bio bubble. He will only regress sitting on the bench for so long. Let him go back to his childhood coaches and sort out technical issues BacktoCricaddict 1 Link to comment

Funny thing is our B team will be harder to beat because they play as a tight unit. A TEAM has too many superstar type players who have a huge ego. Link to comment

HE anyways wud have come in as jaddu replacement in Indian conditions even if it was not about Embuldeniya Link to comment
Tibarn Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) I'm not against Axar playing, or Kuldeep for that matter either, but TOI seems to just put information out there from "sources" to get clicks. During the Aussie series, they frequently reported wrong info on who was going to play from their "sources." Edited February 3, 2021 by Tibarn Link to comment
Sandeep99 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Axar, Ashwin and Kuldeep will be starting at Chepauk imo Link to comment

putrevus Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Kuldeep should play ahead of Axar. Why is Axar even in the team is a mystery. Sundar also should not play. Once Ashwin is fit, Sundar is redundant. Link to comment

Once Ashwin is fit, Sundar is redundant. We are likely to go with 3 spinners.. Ashwin Kuldeep & Axar. 2 man pace attack with Bumrah & Ishant. Balanced side tbh. Variety in spin bowling as well.

cowboysfan Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 kuldeep,bumrah and ishant cant bat,the 5th bowler has to be a good batsman to make the team.what i saw in australia gives me hope that Sundar can get better given the right opportunities. Link to comment

Yes because only fools would play 3 bowlers who would all turn the ball into the batsmen. We need variety. Axars left arm spin would take the ball away. Thats why Jaddu n Ashwin bowling in tandem was so difficult to face.. one turning in one turning away. Messes with your footwork.. same was for Bhajji and Kumble.. Samcric 1 Link to comment

Siraj will be just fine. Link to comment

Kuldeep Pro - Sibley,crawley, burns, foakes wont have played him before or not much Wrist spin Cons- His form is unknown confidence has been fragile Batting is lesser then sundar Sundar Pros- High on confidence batting His t20 variation n pace can be very helpful against tail Cons- bowling skill is less then kuldeep but he is playing as 5th bowler not main So based on this ill go with sundar ShebbySB 1 Link to comment

I repsect him and I do believe he is the best or top 2 in the world in all formats. It would be a shame if he baulks from being committed to play tests in India. Link to comment

Which Indian player is acting as Prima Donna? Bumrah is a fast bowler who always will have their share of niggles. To me all Indian players are nice guys. Link to comment

ash Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Looks like top order is packed with right handers. I would definitely pick axar ahead of sundar Link to comment
