Predator_05 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Based on what we've seen in the IPL thus far, what would an Indian second string XI look like ? Dhawan Rahane Raina Tiwary Virat Kohli* Jadeja Karthik+ Gony Ojha Trivedi Sangwan We haven't seen Sangwan or Tiwary yet, and not all of them have made a big impression like Dhawan, Raina, Virat, Jadeja, etc. have. But on paper, this looks like a damn good team. Most other countries can't boast of international class talent in all three departments like India can at the moment.

Ram Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Dhawan Rahane Raina Tiwary Virat Kohli* Jadeja Karthik+ Gony Ojha Trivedi Sangwan This sounds good. If we actually look past just youngsters alone, my line-up would be this Dhawan Rahane Raina Tiwary Virat Kohli* Kaif Karthik+ Gony Murali Karthik Agarkar Sangwan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h4te Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 BADRI! The Gony dude was good in the first match. 135-140. Good build (no homo). He's a good prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamy Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Dhawan Rahane Raina Badrinath Kohli Jadeja Shreevats Goswami (U-19 Keeper) Gony Ali Murtaza (sad that he is ICL) Trivedi Sangwan Pankaj Singh Tiwary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predator_05 Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Even though he hasn't made an impression yet, Yusuf Pathan would be a shoe-in for that reserve XI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msb1991 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I do not rate Trivedi. He is an average bowler at best. Gony is FAR from the finished product too, with just a handful of FC games under his belt. Sangwan has not proved himself in the IPL, against good opposition and was expensive in the U19 World Cup. The batting is promising, but the bowling is poor. the ban will be lifted soon! Ali Murtaza is class. 1000000x better than chawla Too premature! He has only shown himself to be a containment bowler in the ICL. He'll need good 50 over and 4 day performances to prove himself as '1000000x better than chawla'. Chawla has a very good FC record and List A record, which is worth far more than Murtaza containing in a T20 league which contains many poor Indian domestics.
