zen Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Discussing the top 7 ... I used the word attack because that is what a team may need to do on mostly batting friendly pitches (likely to be prepared by ICC) in the T20WC (need to move out of the 2016 type of cricket): Openers (2 from below): Samson has a good case if he has a good IPL ... can keep and be an excellent fielder in the outfield too Kishan ... a left hander for that left-right combination ... like Samson, can keep too and is a good fielder as well KL ... again can keep too and be a good fielder in the outfield X - if someone like Shaw shows improvement (fielding too) and consistency Anchor(if required and to feel good about experience on paper) One from Kohli, Rohit or Dhawan (KL can be included here as well) Upper Middle Order SKY ... 360 degrees batting ... can open too Pant ... 360 degrees batting Lower Middle Order SDP (Hardik) ... power hitting Someone who can bat and bowl spin too -> Sundar, Tewatia, Jadeja, Krunal, Axar, Samad (wild card), ... + 4 pacers - a separate thread on it Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickydev Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Will keep a close eye on Shahbaz..seems to be rated by RCB management for his aggressive batting and plays for the Capn too, so maybe he could be the left field selection in the squad.

SK_IH Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Presence of both Rohit & Kohli in the lineup looking more & more untenable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They take it for granted and thus play selfishly. They will come good in international T20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestic Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) Rohit and kohli both will play. There is nothing one can do about that. Rohit Kohli SKY Pant KL Pandya Jadeja Sundar doesn't have hitting ability and that is why Shardul was preferred ahead of Sundar in batting order in T20 series vs England. Sundar is basically Parthiv Patel with bat. Play him for his bowling but then not in top 7. Jadeja is one of those players who with his fielding can produce a moment of brilliance anytime which can turn the game on its head. The current version is good in hitting also and since our focus is next two WT20, he must play although sure it's important to have a look on his hitting skills this IPL too.
