Samson and Kishan are expected with them being keepers... Surprised on Rana and Unadkat

You do realize he's powered by Vada Pav right?

Kaul and Unadkat

 

Thats how you clean up someone else's mess. The others are just collateral damage.

It is really worrying.

 

Both were dropped from their IPL teams even.

Unadkat is hungry for more slower ones,and Chetan Sharma has pledged to soothe his hunger by giving him an army of Trundlers

Firstly I was seeing how Samson was fielding in T20s in Australia & was clearly the best fielder of the side...  So either this fitness test is massively flawed or useless. 

Nitish Rana is also gun for KKR..  Kishan is a keeper so don't know. 

 

More importantly I am surprised that Rana Tewatia are in the mix..  Are selectors now focusing on potential & not numbers?  it's a welcome move in. My view. 

 

No Kaul & Unadkat for heaven's sake..  Give me Khaleel or Arshdeep over them anyday.

People don't understand the star presence of unadkat and kaul in our set up, don't underestimate them

They will give huge hitting practice to our batsmen in nets,just swing gandasa and see the results

Kishan and Samson are both brilliant fielders, so surprised a bit with this.

Failure is not a disaster - it gives a good goal for improvement. If you never fail then you never grow. 

[The Realist]

How can Jaydev be slow when he clocks faster speeds in his run up than the speed of his bowling?

[New guy]

Good news, jhadav and Kaul have cleared the second test (with kishan).

Its about stamina to run at a constant speed. They are wk so it’s difficult..

This TeleTubby gets a Hail Mary pass by default.
