Very happy with youngsters/ new players 

Tests 

 

Pant -> nothing more needs to be said. need to give space and time to talented youngsters (series like NZ can happen) 

 

Sundar -> making the most of his chances 

 

LOIs

 

SDP (Hardik) -> Ind missed an opportunity to develop him for tests but will get his chances. As I had said, not bowling will allow him to focus on his batting, which shone during the Aus series. Amazing clutch abilities (and we have seen it many times in IPL too) 

 

Natarajan -> Ability to bowl yorkers after yorkers under pressure tells the story much like how a pic is worth a 1000 words 

 

Need to give more chances to 

 

Samson, SKY, Kishan, a mystery spinner (Varun C), Tewatia (clutch player qualities) 

 

Happy days ahead!

Did well in some tough situations playing down the order ... need to give him chances to develop his game further (esp. useful since he bowls leg spin, is a clean striker, and a good fielder)

No more to Samson. he's had enough chances and failed to flatter - quite clear that he's a IPL-bully and even there he scores in the first 3-4 games and stops performing. I want to see how rahul chahar develops, much more than varun c. if rahul c is handled well, he could become an all-format spinner and that natural heir to ash-jaddu

Samson could turn out to be a late boomer ... would like to judge him based on a consistent run at international level 

 

Yeah, R Chahar appears to be mentally tough too

sanju got 3 T20s in a row. agreed it's not a lot, but I wasn't convinced by his batting. did not seem suited for int'l level. I also have my questions about tewatia. he's got good temperament, but both his batting and bowling are limited. would be happy to be proven wrong about either of them.

Sanju tends to throw it away going for his shots but has good potential and fearless attitude, apart from being a gun fielder, who can keep too

 

Tewatia’s batting esp. under pressure is good (5 6s over + win v SRH for e.g.) . Bowling is a little iffish but in T20s, he can get by esp. as the team would have other options in the 11.  Also a solid fielder

We Need some of the young batsmen to grab their chances or build on early success: Gill, Vihari, Mayank, Shaw...

Tewatia is a dman good gritty cou Ter attacking swashbuckling player. I like that guy. 

 

Samad definitely to look out for. 

 

Samson meh. Maybe? 

 

Sky - 100%. He will be good in tests too. Far better than Rahane. Clutch player at that. But won't get picked and we know why.

because of kohli-rahane bromance that blocks up the no. 5 slot?

Hardik isn't young. 

Get this out of your mind. 

He needs to take responsibility as a senior now. Ek bacche ka baap hai vo, kaahe ka young?
