Ankit_sharma03 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) Acc to me he is the last piece in our t20 batting squad , he is one the best finishers we got in the country . Range hitters are as important as power hitter, Hardik does the power hitter role now we need a range as well. SKY is another range hitter but having one more will be great. Now i know ill got obvious responses His age ?? Age is overrated as long as player is playing well Experience has its value specially in pressure situation which wud be the case with finishers He can only work in certain situation - yea so he is asking him to use up the order. In case a collapse happen well anyways we are screwed that day Lets look at someone young like samson- samson isnt a finisher before someone jumps the gun and ask where will you fit him in XI ?? Well not everything is about XI, he ll be in my squad but XI depends on several things. What has he done apartment from that bangladesh trundler smashing ?? Well how much have we used him in t20s. He has been wasted for dhoni for years now. Ppl forget india's 1st t20 game vs SA was finished by DK only . He failed in 2019 Wc- no **** genius, it was a 50 over Wc About smashing trundlers - here is something S/r vs bumrah- 217 Archer- 159 Starc- 233 We have enough options for top n middle, we need some for finishers as well Note - If KKR use him as a middle order player and he scores, i dnt give a F***. DK only role is finishing and if he does well their then we are talking Edited April 5, 2022 by Ankit_sharma03 The Dark Horse, raki05 and Lord 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vickydev Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I rate him very highly but where do we bat him though, when we have SKY, Pant, Kishan/Iyer/Rahul, Pandya for 3-6. #7 must be saved for an AR no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can have as high a s/r as power hitter but using a different style somewhat like SKY. He has a 360 deg game and having classical stroke play only adds to his game. Power hitter generally can get stuck against a guy like Archer or wood which hardik got but someone like DK or SKY with their range can be an answer to their bowling Cricspin and raki05 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowl_out Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) The question is who does he replace in the Playing XI? Top 4 is likely to be Rohit, Dhawan, Kohli, KL Wicketkeeper : Pant You need six bowlers : Pandya, Jadeja, Sundar/Chahal, Bhuvi, Bumrah, Nattu/Shami Where does DK play? The only way he can be fit in is if Kohli plays only one of Dhawan / KL, but that will happen the day the sun rises in the west. I do think it will help to keep him in the squad to add options.. It helps that we can take up to 22 players Edited April 11, 2021 by bowl_out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that he is also the captain, Kohli is confirmed for next 1 year and ofcourse the WC 2021. Kohli, KL, Ishaan, Pant, Sky, Pandya is the compromise that we shoud make but in reality we will play both Rohit and Kohli and screw the SR.

Texan Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Not international quality at all. Played a freak innings against Banga boys and tried to fashion himself as a finisher, but will always fail during big games. Should be kept far far away from the Indian team.

Texan Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 He averaged 14 in the last IPL. Very lucky to still be picked in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoonyaSifar Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 At nearly 36, no point in getting him back just because he can hit a few 6s. 2018 was his peak and he has regressed since then. Had a horrible IPL last year. Rather pick Kishan than DK primarily because DKhas bottled it in so many ICC tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U need him for this wc , no point in lookig at future planning. Kishen is meant for top 5 not 6-7. In what icc t20 tournament have we used him as finisher ?

We have to get the combination right. Both Kohli and Rohit means KL has to drop down to three. The 4,5,6 in that case likely will be Pant, Sky, Pandya. The disadvantage there is Kohli and Rohit like to see few balls before going to hitting mode, which is all fine if they don't do it beyond limited balls. However often they take more balls than needed to get going thereby not making full use of the PP. I understand they can make up for it later at a 170-180 SR but Pant, Sky, Pandya can do that as well in the later overs. Hence it is important to make full use of PP ; Kohli and Rohit together may not get that kind of start frequently because of their style. Additionally this can also make us a bit predictable in terms of our approach, opposition captains can use their weakest bowler in first 4 overs and reserve their better ones for the middle overs, if they know that we will not be hitting from the first over With all that said, I know practically it is impossible to bench Rohit or Kohli. Even Dhawan can find a place in the squad. Edited April 12, 2021 by RajBan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Averaged 14. Because he hit a cute 20 y'day, suddenly he should be a part of the T20 WC team, that too as a specialist batsman? Like I said 2018 was his peak, he won us the Nidhas Trophy. Due to that performance he even got picked for the 2019 WC as well. Didn't do well, and rightly lost his spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
