Sgattick10 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 That's what he said in post match to Bhogle... Well. What are your thoughts!?? Link to comment
zen Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 If it allows Ind to add another attacking player in the 11, it is not a bad idea Sgattick10 and sandsaims 2 Link to comment
IndianRenegade Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) Personally would like Kishan to open. Left right combo & gives the acceleration in PP. today we had a good batting wicket, not sure kohli & Rohit could give starts like this in a pitch which isn’t a flat track. But if kishan isn’t there, KL out of form, this was a good decision. Edited March 20, 2021 by IndianRenegade nevada, sandeep and Cricspin 3 Link to comment
Vickydev Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Wont mind this at all. Rohit can play more freely and Iyer @ 5 doesnt look too bad. Link to comment
nevada Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 He will be badly exposed if hitman falls cheaply and 1-2 more wickets fall early. Him playing safe and others having to make up for him won't always work well like it did today. With his momentum sucking batting leading the way, we will barely crack 100 strike rate at the completion of our innings, like in the first game. Sgattick10, Stan AF and sandeep 3 Link to comment

Selfish Kohli will just stink up the joint with his dated style of batting. sandeep 1 Link to comment

SK_IH Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) You ll see him retract & bat in the middle order in IPL itself mid way after some failures Edited March 20, 2021 by SK_IH Stan AF, Vk1 and Sgattick10 3 Link to comment
bahadur_billa Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Then Kishan should play at No 4 or 5 in IPL and try to get Iyer's spot. Link to comment
Ankit_sharma03 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 If dhawan scores big in IPL , i fear he might comeback. U never know with kohli. If pandey has a great ipl he will be called. if raina n rayudu scores they ll be asked to come out of retirement. Anything can happen kohli, Sgattick10 and sandsaims 2 1 Link to comment
Ankit_sharma03 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 If he srsly plans to then its a bad plan. It shud be either kishen or attacking KL Link to comment
SK_IH Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 "He's [Rahul's] a champion player and he'll continue to be one of our main batters along with Rohit." This is what he said after 3rd T20 & now basically he has proclaimed Rahul is back up opener. I just hooe he sticks to this now & stay as opener till the world cup. No flip flops please, don't play around with team combination & create confusions. This basically opens a slot in middle order, the candidates are Iyer, Kishan or some other based on IPL performances. Vk1 and raki05 2 Link to comment
Suhaan Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 So where will Kishan bat? Although there is no problem having him as opener,but if he has someone who doesn't take too much time ,that would be perfect, Having Hitman at the other end who takes time,if both of them get out after consuming 15-20 deliveries ,that will derail Indian batting straightaway,if Kohli is saying such thing it means we will see him open for few matches atleast before he rolls back his decision ,he needs to bat Kishan no lower than number 3 sergio04 1 Link to comment

Sean Bradley Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) This is a very good idea, Kohli and Rohit opening, Sky at 3, Iyer, Pandya, Pant, Sundar, Thakur, Bhuvi, Bumrah, and a Leggie. Gives Balance, also gives you 6 bowling options. Edited March 20, 2021 by Sean Bradley New guy 1 Link to comment

Majestic Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 A bit surprised with that because he was backing KL one match ago only. When you say that you will open alongside Rohit, imagine how much the confidence of KL himself would have hurt after hearing this? Link to comment
Lone Wolf Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Ok so there are two problems with this thing.. Rohit is not a consistent player in T20Is according to stats.. He fires usually once in a T20 series & completely smashes the opposition. Kohli is a slow starter. This can go either way imo. But if this means Surya at no 3 is locked.. I am in. This squad shaping up is still much better than WT20 2016 & WC 19 Sgattick10 1 Link to comment
