How long left for Pujara, Kohli & Rahane?

[Lone Wolf]

Pujara will be gone most likely.  He had one shot this inns & was almost trying to guide everything to slips...  With zero footwork & awful technique. 

Even 60 year olds don't bat this way. 

 

Rahane will stick around this tour & may score his usual once in a bluemoon knock.  He will scratch his way into SA tour. 

 

Kohli will be humiliated & will drop massively from the rankings.  And people will stop saying he is the best batsman.

Gill in injured so we dont really have a replacement for Pujara ,we could play Yadav in the middle order bump Kohli to 3 and we should consider that option because Pujara is done .

One by one , its not that the next one wud be some consistent players. 

They ll also be very inconsistent. 

 

As of now pujara looks to be 1st one coz it ll be very hard for him to get back with his fitness n reflexes. 

 

 

 

One by one should be considered if the player being phased out is a great batsman. Both Pujara & Rahane should have been replaced afte WTC it self because their output is most likely to be matched up by any xyz who plays in their lieu. Indian batsmen on the bench are waiting for the opportunities to make their mark.

Three batsman 3 4 5 have gone missing & are almost finished at the same time.  

I don't know it has happened  since last 2 decades. 

Even if one of them had issues it would be fine but all 3 at the same time makes it worst batting line up in the world. 

We are lucky that openers are playing out of their skins in English conditions.

I think we had a much worse batting lineup in 2018.

In 2018 they would score runs at home at least...  Now these guys can't even do that. 

All three of them are walking wickets everywhere.

Pujara needs to go after this match, Rahane too based on his stats for this series. 

I am still willing to give one chance to Kohli hoping for a resurgence. 

[Sandeep99]

Last series for Pujara. 2 more for Rahane. Clown will be thrown out forcibly in 2024/25.

[The Realist]

All done.

 

Nothing left to see here.

[Frustrated]

Hahane.   Biggest sucker to hv represented India in tests for a decade. Disgraceful.. 

[Number]

People go after Pujara and I don't blame them for that but this guy is definition of mental midget and still escapes the criticism. Worst batsman to play for India for so long.

52 runs from 3 combined

 

 

more than 5x from last game

[Nikhil_cric]

Pujara may be past it but this fraud Rahane needs to be kicked out first. Since 8th November, 2016 he has averaged 33.84 with the bat. That's absolute garbage. Utterly useless cricketer.

Pujara has won India a tour of Aus against a great Aus bowling attack. This Rahane is a master of hopeless situations. He thrives on situations when nothing is expected from him & he can swing his bat without any fear. Classic example is that innings in Lords in 2014.

Kohli can’t be questioned as he’s the “Captain”. But I’m done with Jokers Pujara & Rahane. Yes they’ve played important role in past matches but this is the right one to move on to next gen. Their failing % is far more than their past laurels. India can’t afford to carry them long.

Exactly. There is no comparison between Pujara and Rahane. There is still a chance of Pujara bailing the team out of tricky session or grinding out a 30 off 100 to take shine off the new ball but Rahane when expected to do something will inevitably fail. 

He is living off the Melbourne 100 where he was dropped like once for every 10 runs.

yes, he and rat should be booted out faster than chepu, but the converse is more likely to happen.

This is getting repetitive...

because their poor performances are getting repetitive too, IMO.
