Especially bouncers and Yorkers and the ability to move the ball. So Chahar my buddy, you are out. Bumrah Siraj Shami it is alongside Rahul Chahar. Hell even groom avesh and prasidh and Tyagi. No Deepak sorry. Shardul better option than chhaar. You are talking about Bhuvi lol Actually Chahar is probably a click faster than Bhuvi.

Global.Baba Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) Here are my top T20 cricketers in India list by slots . Squad should be picked from here. not in any ranking order Opening: 2 sets of openers. Can play 3 and push 1 to no.3 if required Rohit Kohli Rahul Dhawan Dev Dutt Paddikal Shaw Middle order batsmen Ishan SKY Iyer Samson Fastbowlers Bhuvi Bumrah Shami Natarajan Siraj Deepak C Allrounders (fast/seam) Thakur- pushing the definition here as he is more of a bowler who can bat Hardik Harshal Allrounders( Spin)- 2/4 happen to be left arm spinners Jadeja Krunal Sundar- more of a bowler who can bat in T20 Tewatiya Left Arm spinner Axar - big fan of his batting but don’t think he can be called an allrounder lol. Legspinner Rahul C Chahal Offspinner Varun C- have no clue what he bowls so putting him in the off spinner category Ashwin- can be back into reckoning if he has a strong IPL based on the buzz he is getting since Australia and last IpL. Wicket keeper Pant- Indias premier keeper obviously. (Backups- Rahul,Ishan,Samson already covered in middle order) These are obvious names I could think off who will be discussed. Not trying this to be a wish list or who I want. Based on this which is already a list of 26,I feel we don’t have too many proper middle order bats and the so called middle order bats are hit or miss. Any obvious names I am missing? Also don’t see us going all the way because we have gaps and when you have gaps expect to get caught on an off day like in the past.

chewy Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, express bowling said: Both Kohli and Rohit have been much better in T20Is for India compared to the IPL. Kohli has a SR of 139 and average of 52.7 in T20Is with many crucial knocks in knockout matches of World T20s. Rohit has a SR of 139 at and average of 32.2 in T20Is. But both have very ordinary SRs of 130 in the IPL. But is 140 good enough when couple of their counterparts are striking at 150? My bigger concern is these guys dont have that ability to score a quick 30-40 of 15 balls in powerplay. They have this demented mindset to settle in during PP and trundle to 60 off 50 balls and then tee-off after 15 overs expecting likes of Pandya to hit SR 200 every match with no time settle in. Except for Rahul neither Kohli and Rohit have the ability to take max advantage of PP, both are bang average T20 batsmen. Kohli had a brilliant world cup, but that was way back in 2016 when he carried Indian batting on his own, I would not count on that form this world cup. A retired ABDV is out performing Kohli by miles in last two 2-3 seasons. Edited April 23, 2021 by chewy Ankit_sharma03 and zen 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Like I said, Shami is a beast. He bowled well today. He needs to play in all formats. Not playing Shami in the semi final of odi WC was the reason why we lost tbh. Also Dhawan injury ofcourse when he was actually in form.

zen Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) The 4 below are shoo ins for different reasons: Kohli (C) Rohit (VC) SDP (Hardik) Bumrah We may see Kohli-Rohit as openers since these two are probably under the impression that they are the best two T20 batsmen in the team based on old performances. Unfortunately, this means these two may try to play maximum balls too (thinking that best batsmen need to play more balls), keeping the other team in the game for relatively longer periods ... Therefore, an 11 considering these "two" factors: 1. Kohli 2. Rohit 3. Samson to provide some impetus after one of the openers departs 4. SKY for 360 batting 5. Pant for 360 batting 6. SDP (Hardik) for power hitting 7. Jadeja, will most likely get the nod esp. for "experience" 8. Bhuvi 9. Bumrah 10. Siraj 11. Natrajan ^ may go with 4 pacers due to dew or a 2nd spinner like R Chahar, Sundar, etc. in place of one of them Other likely candidates in the squad: 12. KL (likely to be in the 11 ahead of Samson) 13. Dhawan (likely to be there as back up opener and may play a few games with Rohit rotated) 14. Iyer (likely to be there and could play ahead of SKY) 15. Some new player like Padikkal (with RCB and if he has a good IPL), Kishan, ... (likely to warm the bench most of the time) 16. R Chahar 17. Sundar 18. D Chahar (swing bowling option and back up (or replacement if in better form) for Bhuvi & Siraj) 19. Thakur (could squeeze in) 20. ... Tewatia and Varun C failed fitness tests so there inclusion would depend on those factors + display of red hot form in IPL ... Chahal is likely to be in the squad as well Edited April 24, 2021 by zen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee_rules Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) Pant has to be our WT20 WC WK batsman. He has put his hand up above KL, Kishan and other contenders today Edited April 25, 2021 by coffee_rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I6MTW Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Pant and Jadeja are a must so far based on performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
