6. Hardik

7. Jadeja

8. Sundar / R. Chahar / Chahal

9. Shardul / Bhuvi

10. Shami / Prasidh / Saini

11. Bumrah

Good list. Put Shardul at 8.

[Lone Wolf]

I am not in favour of adding Bhuvi in Odi team.  No thanks.  Dude had horrible record in ODIs for sometime.  There was a stat during WC where he was barely picking up any wickets. 

Pace attack I'd like to see as Bumrah is rested for ODIs. 

Siraj (gun new ball option) 

Shardul (picks wickets somehow) 

Prasidh ( About time we unleash him)  

 

Spin attack: Sundar,  Kuldeep/Rahul Chahar 

A/R : Pandya

Bowler 5 and 6 are most likely part timers and could get you in trouble.

 

It should be 5 strike bowlers all the time.

 

If your 6 bats cannot put runs on board you are toast anyway.

No you need 3 quality strike bowlers and the 4th bowler to be a combination 2 allrounders that can bat if required, Sundar can be one.

 

If Pandya can become a quality strike bowler, along with Jaddu who already is, India becomes a formidable opponent that can bat deep and have a player at 9 who can win the game for us.

Jaddu is not a quality strike bowler in LOIs, neither is Hardik

 

Ideally that is Jasprit, Bhuvi/Natarajn, Chahal,

 

then Sundar, Jadeja and Hardik to make up the rest of the overs between them

[Sooda]

Theyve one in with 5 bowlers again, one of them Hardik, it is idiotic selection. Say he pulls up, or gets hammered... any of the bowlers can have a bad day... who does Virat turn to to make up the overs.... this stupid 5 bowler theory will get especially tested today whilst England are chasing... Eng can target one or two weak links and there is no flexibility in terms of other options

 

We dont need batting all the way till no 10... as Khota says if the top 6 or 7 cant do it, no point in stacking the lower middle order for a 20 over match

No Pandya can never become quality strike bowler. Never.

M Shami

J Bumrah

 

Reserves:

With Hardik not able to bowl, we are hamstrung with just 5 bowlers. Kurnal is not good enough to give 10 overs a match every match, and on this form/pitches neither is Kuldeep. We need a 6th option for one several guys are having a terrible day like today.

 

Rohit, Rahul, Virat, Pant, Hardik, Sundar, Krunal, Thakur, BK, Chahal, Krishna

 

Pant or Hardik at 4 is too high... could replace Hardik with SKY .. or Sundar is potentially good enough to bat at 4?

What is Hardik doing in the team if he is not gonna bowl,just play SKY  and trust SKY,Pant,Krunal and Sundar/Axar to do the finishing

 

Rohit, Rahul, Virat, SKY, Pant, ,Krunal, Axar,Thakur, BK, Chahal, Krishna

Yes thats the other option. Or staright swap Hardik for Sundar, Sundar is not a finisher he needs to be at 5 at least, but will chip in with ball ..

 

Rohit, Dhawan, Virat, KL, Sundar, Pant, Krunal, Thakur, BK, Chahal, Krishna

If 6 don't work, can we play 8 of them 

[Ankit_sharma03]

Hardik injury has affected our balance big time

[Vijy]

we may need 7 the way our bowling is leaking. on a serious note, what I'd like to see is: Shami/Prasidh + Bhuvi bowling up front, Boom Boom as first change, Rahul Chahar (or Bishnoi) as attacking middle over spinner, Jaddu as holding role (mostly selected for overall package) + Hardik to bowl a few overs here and there.
