Ankit_sharma03 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) Last yr teams didnt knew much about them but this season it wont be the case. This is where a lot of young players have fallen in past. Well, Not Exactly 1st season for Varun.C , Tewatia n Natrajan but after the Success last season teams will come out with a plan against them. Bishnoi and Varun.C will specially face a challenge since teams wud have studied them . Lets see how these guys perform or have evolved Edited April 1, 2021 by Ankit_sharma03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Drive Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Padikkal struggled last year. His strike rate was below average. Sucked all momentum in power play instead of blasting runs at a very good strike rate with field restrictions in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ll improve with time n im least worried about his s/r as i know his striking abilty , its just a matter of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was about the fact that he did not score at acceptable strike rate considering he bats in power play and it is T20 format. He even huffed and puffed after batting for 10 overs. His fitness is an issue. At his age his stamina is not proper. He was running and getting quickly tired like a 33+ year old man .

Mariyam Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Bishnoi wasn't *that* good in his first IPL. It's just that he has a v strange run up and that catches your eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently he's Dhawan's like for like replacement Means you won't see any change if he's given an opportunity now at the top for us ,only thing is he is young and will improve Edited April 5, 2021 by Suhaan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would avoid Padikkal and prefer Kishan being picked. Leftie as well who can replace Dhawan down some day in future. Kishan - 516 runs at strike rate 145 in 13 innings Paddikal - 473 runs in 15 innings at strike rate 124. Paddikal played more innings but still scored less runs than Kishan and his strike rate was also very lower in comparison. Moreover, Kishan gives the option to keep if Pant gets injured during match.

Paddikal is good but his current version is no different from Dhawan,i expect a Dhawan like career for him in ODIs as of now,you said it right Kishan looks better in t20s We should make it clear atleast openers in LOIs should have high strike rate Straight Drive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankit_sharma03 Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 Ruturaj- Bad 1st game Varun.C- Wont judge him as of now but he bowled absolute crap line n length, if he keeps bowling that no one will have any issues any way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
