vvvslaxman Posted May 1, 2021 Posted May 1, 2021 Looking at the numbers combination of strike rate/economy/average he has impressive numbers. I know Ashwin for a brief period provided variety of options like opening the bowling, bowling in death overs. Also Jaddu provided batting/fielding options. Had he been a little younger would he have been a regular bowler for us? INDIAN SPINNERS IN LOI
The Realist Posted May 1, 2021 Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) Cause Chahal seduced Kohli with his muscles. Mishra was cruelly cut for no reason and replaced by Kohli's clique and one season wonders like Yadav. No way Mishra should have been marginalised especially when had an expensive hair transplant to pay for. Edited May 1, 2021 by The Realist velu, saik, Lone Wolf and 1 other 4
Sean Bradley Posted May 1, 2021 Posted May 1, 2021 Pathetic fielder, his pot belly was the primary reason he lost his spot.
Dery Posted May 1, 2021 Posted May 1, 2021 Was typical cricketer of a bygone era. Not the fittest or fastest in the field.
Clarke Posted May 1, 2021 Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) If I remember correctly, he was terrific in the 2014 World T20, so was Ashwin. Those were helpful conditions though, can't remember what happened right after. Edited May 1, 2021 by Clarke
ShoonyaSifar Posted May 1, 2021 Posted May 1, 2021 Dhoni never really liked him. Right from the beginning of his captaincy days. More so after his 170/0 vs England at the Oval in the 2011 test series. The guy took 15 wickets in his last ODI series, a 5-er in his last ODI. Dropped for ever after that.

Should have been seen as a LOI bowler but Dhoni preferred defensive spinners who gave him control.

They kept discarding him on the basis of poor test performances when LO cricket was his stronger suit. sage 1

U cant be just one condition bowler. Even if u notice in IPL over all the years he generally comes in play during 2nd half of IPL when pitches wear down Kuldeep also had same issue, slow through air. Thats why he was kept getting discarded even guys like ash, jaddu, chahal, kuldeep who came after him got ahead. U can blame one captain or mgmt for being bias but it was every captain n mngmt. Our batsman cant be so idiot that they cudnt suggest a captain if someone is that good. In LOI u cant give batsman time to adjust , thats why rashid khan works wonders

The guy deserved a proper run of 8-10 matches on those numbers alone

Slow through air doesnt work in every condition...no point investing in such player.

This was when Ashwin and Jadeja struggled in so many series in SENA

BacktoCricaddict Posted May 1, 2021 Posted May 1, 2021 Was he injured when he was dropped and just never did enough to take his place back .... until now?
