Good squad.

 

Great to see Prasidh and SKY  !!

But Prithvi Shaw should be in there.  We already know he can do the job.  After the Aus blip, he utterly dominated VHT, showing that he has worked on this flaws and is likely back to the point where we knew he could do the job.  What more?      

[coffee_rules]

Shaw was never in the ODI squad , even before Aus , was he? He was dropped from Test squad, just because he is scoring against our domestic bowlers, can't include him over others in the squad. Let them fail first. He can be considered as backup for Test openers now, if he can show good form in IPL. The IPL before Aus tour, he was pathetic for DC.

But man ... he didn't just play well, he totally dominated the domestic bowlers (yeah, domestic bowlers ,,,).  Haven't we seen enough of Rohit Sharma for bilaterals?  Just let him cool his heels for a while and let the youngsters show their chops.

He was opener in NZ ODIs I think.  When Rohit got injured. 

I think he will again get chance if lanka or Zim tour happens

Don't see Sky or Gill getting a game unless there are injuries or they rest someone.

Well, with this squad you can always count on at least two significant injuries during any series.

• shaw n mayank played in NZ- both didnt do well, shaw did a lil better so was selected for next series against SA at home but series got cancelled due to covid 
• then ipl happened n mayank had a great season n shaw failed so Mayank was taken to Aus
• Mayank failed so gill gotta chance in last ODI 

 

Frabnkly speaking this poor rotation. They havent identified 3rd opener and there is a musical chair going on

One of these days the icf brain trust will realize great performance in domestics translates to absolutely jack **** when projecting to international cricket.

[nitinbwj]

Chahal and Dhawan ... both are shyte now. Can’t be in any of the formats. Dhawan should play Legends game and Chahal should retire.

Rohit, Dhawan and Chahal, how long these guys going to hang onto handouts from international cricket's, cringeworthy.

 

Top order at 2023 world cup of Rohit, Dhawan and Kohli, all will be older than 35.

 

This ODI series has no significance, India already qualified for WC, IPL coming up and these babus still getting picked.

 

And if Krunal getting selected off a good VH tournament, then whose d **k do Shaw and Padikkal need to suck?

 

 

They need to change their IPL team or suck the captain.

FWIW Krunal is more of a batting allrounder while Axar is the reverse.  India need the former role filled more so than the latter.  Sundar is already in there as that type of option in the squad.  

 

Biggest question mark apart from his limited bowling for Krunal, is his serious flaw against the short ball.  He made Raina looked test class against the short ball, the last time we saw him hold a bat.  

Sundar is the only guy after Yuvraj who looks like someone who can bat with a calculated mindset while also giving a good option with ball,Krunal Pandya is nowhere near that league

For me the only point of this series is to see if Sundar can be the batting allrounder that we need,we tried to fit Vijay Shankar in that role but the guy got injured at exactly the moment we needed him.

 

Apart that we can be assured top 3 will fill their boots,Chahal will be smacked and the same boring template will be followed in middle overs

[SK_IH]

The thing to see will be if Rahul misses out as no.5 batsman after a wonderful year at that position last year. It will be funny because it was harsh on Pant when he was concussed out to make Rahul the wk, it will be similarly harsh on Rahul if he is removed after owning the no.5 slot. And all this will be done to accomodate the thigh slapper at the opening slot. 

[nitinbwj]

Padikkal needs to be groomed for ODI’s . He is better suited for it. Should have been there in the upcoming series. Dhawan is past his prime and will suck up all the momentum in ODI’s.
 

These morons don’t keep the interest of the country first ? Yaari Dosti

In the squad list, I can see Sundar listed among spinners. A clue on how the selectors/TM view his role in the short term.

 

This is done after being told time and again by those who have tracked his career that he's a batsman first and foremost. Puzzled at the deliberate misclassification.

 

Also puzzling is how this role definition for Sundar modulates and adjusts public expectation. If he underwhelms as a bowler, it's no biggie because batting is his strong suit. And batting low down the order means people already don't expect much. If he does well we talk about his potential and if he flops, it's barely noted. Obviously not his fault but eventually the TM will have to define his role better than it is being done right now.

One day they will sack Sundar for bad bowling or bad batting or both  The guy doesn’t even know what’s expected of him.

This is a great team. on current form KL Rahul should have been replaced by Paddikkal possibly, as KL seems to be totally out of form. But in case he can recover his form soon then he is definitely better than Paddikal. 

Secondly Kuldeep yadav 's bowling form is also like KL rahul's batting form and I am not sure if he should have been picked. Varun chakrabarthy could have been the right choice. what about Teotia?

i am very happy for Prasidh , SKY. But where is Ishan Kishan, Has he not been selected?

He'll probably have to go back to domestics, slog for 5 years as a batsman, score millions of runs and make them take notice of his new avatar.  Oh and ... not bowl a single ball just in case the wise men get confused again.

I'm a big believer in Sundar's batting ability.  If it were up to me, both Sundar and Samson would be given 20+ ODIs and T20s to show what they can do.  Samson can be Rohit 2.0 if he finds a way to stop throwing his wicket away.

If he had been classified as a batsman, there is no way he would have found a place in the team. i am sure he is happy to be selected as a bowler, than not being selected as a batsman. Its a way for  management to give this young, promising player a chance. If he had been classified as a batsman first, there are many ahead of him 

[RAZPOR]

siraj has never been a great loi bowler,let him concentrate on his test career.

We ll ruin him,and why is saini dropped after being carried around for so long??

and if 3 matches is the perfomance criteria for dropping why isnt chahal dropped.

 

Prasidh is a welcome selection ,but i dont thing he ll be played with kohli at helm.

team needs to back KL as much as possible. He is a vital member of t20 side and if he fails then its on him. I remember how dhoni backed dhawan before 2015 Wc when he had a rough patch going on 

Also he did damn well in ODI and provided that X factor in middle , may be longer format might just help him to take more time
