Which of these batsmen least belongs in modern ODI cricket?

[SinNombre]

Dhawan does not even belong in the conversation so dropping him completely. 

[Ankit_sharma03]

They all are very good batsman. Only england can bat like that and we just 2nd to them. Itna overreaction. 

No batsman can cause a carnage in world like a set rohit sharma. He ll keep hitting and wnt even get out

[AuxiliA]

Lol This is way over the top reaction. I was expecting names like Rahane, but Kohli and Rohit, seriously?. Even Rahul and Iyer aren't bad. 

 

 

[Global.Baba]

Dhawan was the easy pick but 2nd option is Rahul. 
 

Rahul May look more aesthetically pleasing with the bat but Iyer has the right attitude.

 

So from that list 

 

Ro and Ko belong in any odi era.

 

Iyer and Rahul are the only 2 options so going with Rahul as the least suitable one.

How I wish England didn't win their fluke/lucky WC. We wouldn't have overrated thier FTBs so much.

I swear dude, funnily enough Naseer/ Artheton are in awe of the mental fortitude of the Indian players

 

Pakistan and Australian experts literally start and end every other sentence with Rohit or Kohli when they talk about cricket

 

Everyone including Indian fans are celebrating how we are the top side in all 3 formats

 

But our ICF fans  want the entire team to be replaced

If it wants, Ind can do away with all 4 (some of them are probably relics now) to have a top 7 like below for e.g. 

 

Gill

Kishan

Samson

Pant

SDP 

SKY

Jadeja 

 

Add upcoming players such as Padikkal, Gaekwad, Shaw, etc. too, who can play in the top order (#1-3) ... The fielding will improve too

These 3 players in your list - Gill,Padikkal and Gaekwad- even though I rate them quiet highly for their talent, I can bet right now you will turn on them in a heartbeat once you see them play in odis and t20’s against quality sides.  This is obviously on how you just like the highlights instead of little strategies and nuances of the game these days.

They are already competitive and will improve with experience duh ... of course, if you want to keep worshiping the relics and want to resist upgrading your software, be my guest

Dhawan with be 38 at the 2023 WC, Rohit 36, Kohli 35.

 

Is winning the 2023 WC the target for Indian cricket, or are we happy losing in the semifinals again? 

 

I think we can have at most two of these 4 batsmen in the xi for the 2023 WC.

I think you are rather confused the I in ICF stands for Indian not Intelligent 

[Vilander]

All of them belong. If india bats second next game same will be reversed. Eng is a very good team. 

[Majestic]

We played a nearly perfect batting lineup yesterday. So, you have to be patient with them and not conclude based on one match.

 

This loss is a blessing in disguise for us because this will force our top 4 to bat at a quicker pace and not leave all the hitting to lower order batsman.

 

Our batting lineup is perfect now with the only feasible change to be replacing Dhawan but you know it will not happen as easily.

 

Rohit

Dhawan

Kohli

Rahul

Pant

Pandya

 

Backups-  Gill, Shaw, Iyer, SKY

we are happy with losing in first round because Rat will give some excuse or the other and pose and simper for the camera.

Kohli vs leg spin has become more and more predictable.
