I would like to see Bumrah as an IPL T20 captain and see how he does, but MI will never let him go. you mean like fastest T20 100 and most T20I 100’s? Link to comment
Gollum Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Why was Rahul Chahar dropped? 5 T20Is is a lot, we could have played him and Varun C in alternate games, likewise Axar/Tewatia rotated and Sundar in all 5 encounters hopefully testing his batting in a couple of games by pushing him up the order. nevada, express bowling and Norman 3 Link to comment
ShoonyaSifar Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Why were SKY, Pant and Kishen not picked for Aus T20Is? Now that they have been picked, will they be thrown out after a couple of failures like Samson has been? Will Pant/Kishen play as specialist batsmen as KL Rahul was the preferred WK-batsman in LOIs? How has Axar Patel suddenly become good enough for LOIs? Will he be dropped like Rahul Chahar without giving him an opportunity? How is a 35 yr old Dhawan, after repeated failures in last 2-3 years, still the preferred opener? Lots of questions on the chosen squad. As we get closer to the T20 WC, totally expect this joke of a TM to again muddle up things like they did before the 2019 WC. BTW there preferred 11 will be Rohit, Dhawan, Kohli, Rahul, Iyer, Hardik, Sundar, , Bhuvi, Chahar, Chahal, Nattu Link to comment

Vk1 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Finally.. one of the best allround T20 player in India has been picked. Link to comment
RajBan Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Do not understand the hue and cry with Samson. He has shots and a high SR but very inconsistent. Rahul Chahar should have been retained . Kishan KL Kohli / Rohit Pant Sky Pandya Sundar Tewatia / Axar Varun C Thakur Deepak Chahar / Bumrah Link to comment
raki05 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 7 hours ago, Adamant said: Kohli has done well in recent t20is. Avgd 37 at 142 in 2020 and 78 at 148 in 2019. No reason for him to give up t20s We need one player like him with a bunch of young hacks(the skys and kishans and samsons) and Pant. Sharma should give up on t20is he was never a great t20 batsman and he starts too slowly which only pays off when he goes big and that's quite rare. He has fastest T20 100, along with 3 T20 100. Kohli was great one time but now he can bash only kesrick Williams type in T20. Sharma in loi recently has performed better than Kohli. Kohli, Dhawan, Iyer type player shouldn't be in T20. It's 20 over games you don't need accumulator. Kohli should only focus on 50 over and test it ll prolong his career leave T20 to youngsters and dasher. saik and Suhaan 2 Link to comment
GautiMaan Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Squad is good but fully expect playing XI to be based on seniority rather than the best options. beetle, nevada, raki05 and 1 other 4 Link to comment
bowl_out Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Good squad. Dhawan should soon be booted out and Samson brought back. That will be the combination for 2021 and 2022 WC beetle 1 Link to comment

Because he is a threat to the collar chewing mental midget. Chahar gets into the squad, doesn't play a game, then gets dropped. This must be the third time this is happening.

But Samson is also an excellent fielder and should have been picked. He, or any other batsman, has to be given 8-10 games to develop match changing level of batting. You can't expect rookies to come in and become match winners right away. raki05 1 Link to comment

He is way too inconsistent even in ipl. He don't have a single 500 run season even though he is playing full seasons since 8 years. I would rather see Ishan kishan and SKY in this series beetle 1 Link to comment

Ankit_sharma03 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 This series will be ruined coz TM will start finding ways to adjust Dhawan which can mean Rahul at 3 or 4 , even kohli moving out of his position raki05 1 Link to comment

Lone Wolf Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 ODI squad should be selected after at least 3 T20s & performers should be picked. Gill as 3rd opener in ODIs sounds good. Rahul's spot would be under severe pressure with Pant & Kishan coming in.. He can keep that S/R doesn't matter crap to himself or otherwise. Iyer is on a thin ice but I reckon he has done very well in ODIs so don't know. Link to comment
