afan Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Good for Vihari...He is the only guy from the Indian squad to miss out on the IPL goodies i think Link to comment
Sandeep99 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Will bode well for him and the team ahead of the 5 test series. Link to comment
msb1991 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 If he can get runs and wickets, I'm sure management will look at him very seriously for reselection. Link to comment
zen Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Not too sure for how long he would be in the 11 considering the options Ind has but good to see cricketers take the initiative to improve their game Link to comment
Adamant Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 He has problems against bounce and maybe even speed but I think in English conditions he can still do well. A county stint always helps, this is the exact reason why our team of 2010s fail against england while a lesser talented Indian team in the 80s used to perform better. Our batsman used to score heavily on seaming tracks when they played county. At that time the problem was pace and bounce nowadays the scenario is reversed. Link to comment
neel roy Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I am A bit confused why Pujara was chosen in IPL and Hanuma with his ability to bowl few overs wasnt. Anyways county season definitely helps.. 5 hours ago, Adamant said: this is the exact reason why our team of 2010s fail against england while a lesser talented Indian team in the 80s used to perform better. Our batsman used to score heavily on seaming tracks when they played county Even the 2000s team was better. Between 1996 to 2011 India toured England 3 times 1996 : Ganguly Dravid debut. We lost 1-0. 2002: Fantastic tour: Drew 1-1. Lost in Lords after scoring 400 in fourth innings.. 2nd test in Nottingham we were basically leading with 164 runs and we could have easily set them 200 for victory in 4th innings if we had time. Ball was spinning.Mauled England in Headingley In 3rd test. Ganguly dravid tendulkar scored runs for fun.. plus Bangar .4th test both teams scored 500 plus in Oval and it was a draw. 2007 We won 1-0 its From 2011 Wheels turned and you are right county does help. One of the main reasons Pakistan has done well In England is half their players play county.. AuxiliA 1 Link to comment
Serpico Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Excellent decision, need to score big runs and replace rahane/pujara mid series Link to comment

ShoonyaSifar Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Great news. As he is not going to be in the final 11 for WTC and England Tests, better to let him play the full county season Link to comment

They seem to only prioritise Australia and s Africa to a lesser extent. Link to comment

If ur batting cant get u a place that bit of extra bowling is irrelevant Link to comment
RajBan Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Great move. Vihari will be in the squad definitely and the first in line to get into middle order if Kohli or Rahane is not available. I would have liked Pujara, Gill and Mayank to play as well as that would have prepped them up for the conditions. Unfortunately Mayank is indispensable for his IPL team . Gill and Pujara will also be tied down even if they are not the best fit for that format. Link to comment

DeepSpace Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Good for him. The guy looks humble, seems like hard worker in the mold of Puji. Showed good grit in Sydney. He was one of the reasons we did not lose that day. When he is in flow, he looks good. He needs to deal with the short ball better. Link to comment
