Gollum Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) Trent Bridge Aug 4th Obviously guys like Kohli, Pujara, Bumrah etc are undroppable. Still give a fantasy XI. Assume it is a typical English track but with good weather for all 5 days scheduled. Same batch of Dukes we used in this WTC F. Sundar (as specialist batsman) Rohit (vc) Jaddu (instead of Che) Kohli Rahane (captain) Pant (wk) Shankar Ashwin Thakur Siraj Shami L-R combo till #6, 3 LHBs in top 6 like this NZ side Siraj, Thakur, Shami pace options Shankar as #7 and for his dibbly-dobblies Ashwin, Jaddu both available for spin....don't need to use Sundar No compulsive blocker in the top 6 Thakur at #9, so enough batting depth...even Siraj/Shami have bat swing to land a few blows Kohli not the captain, let him focus on his batting Edited June 23, 2021 by Gollum Lord 1

zen Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Rohit - will give him a shot Gill Agarwal/Shaw Kohli Pujara Pant SDP (Hardik) X - Sundar/Thakur/Ashwin/Jadeja/… Shami Siraj Bumrah
zen Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) I usually only trust a good leg spinner (like Warne) or a mystery spinner (like Chandra) in SENA Edited June 23, 2021 by zen

Forgot about him. SRT100 and zen 2
Nikola Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 If Bhuvi can bowl 12-15 overs a day he can be anyday better than pandya & shankar. Need to play 3 pacers with bhuvi as bowling all rounder. Also want gill as opener or #3.
Gollum Posted June 23, 2021 Author Posted June 23, 2021 DK was made makeshift opener in 2006-07, and did very well in that 2007 Eng series which was the last time we beat them away. Was top scorer from India. Want to explore Washi as opening option for the novelty factor. raki05 1
express bowling Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 1. Gill 2. Rohit 3. Rahane 4. Kohli 5. Washington 6. Pant 7. Jadeja 8. Ashwin / Shardul ( based on conditions) 9. Shami 10. Siraj 11. Bumrah Mosher, Lord and raki05 1 2
ShoonyaSifar Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Pick only Rahane purely because he led us to a series win in Aus. Rest the three senior seamers. Send Kohli and Shastri and the puppet coaches back to India right away Rohit Sundar Gill Mayank Rahane (c) Pant Ashwin Thakur Deepak Chahar Siraj Avesh/Prasidh At worst, we will lose 5-0, score 150-175, with the seniors it will be no different. Better to build the team for the future with the aim of retiring Rahane and Rohit in the next 6-8 months. Star sports may not allow us to field this team though SRT100 1
Vilander Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Make Rahane captain. Play sundar drop bumrah get in Siraj. SRT100 1
Ankit_sharma03 Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) Easwaran Rohit Rahane (c) Kohli Gill Shankar Pant Ashwin (VC) Shardul/Deepak Chahar (if bumrah's form stays like this ) Siraj Ishant Sos Deepak chahar n Shankar Dropping bumrah- was also thinking for this game to Hard to drop jaddu but i rate shankar the batsman very very highly. Neways ashwin fitness on long tour starts to decline so jaddu can come in then Edited June 23, 2021 by Ankit_sharma03
maniac Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 While Rahane as a person has my respect, a team picks itself first and then the captain. Apart from the MCG knock where he received multiple chances, he has pretty much sucked in the other games. I know Pujara is the latest punching bag and rightfully so but Pujara is behind Rahane in the pecking order for getting the axe. zen 1
The Realist Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 “Jaydev was modest that he would not be thinking about the Indian call but I will be surprised if he is not picked in the Indian team,” Pujara was quoted as saying. Lord 1
mani sha Posted June 24, 2021 Posted June 24, 2021 Sharma Gill kohli pujara rahane sundar / jadeja / ashwin pant thakur / b kumar siraj shami ishant bumrah 12 th Vihari 13 th saha 14 th team of 17 as above .
SRT100 Posted June 24, 2021 Posted June 24, 2021 I know its fantasy land selections here, but also realistically the players I listed can all play, given they are in the squad. This is how I would look at rebuilding the Indian Cricket Test side. Mayank Hitman Gill Rahane (Captain) KL Pant Thakur Sundar/Ash/Jaddu/Axar Siraj Shami Prasidh Krishna Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Mayank Agarwal, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli (Captain), Ajinkya Rahane (vice-captain), Hanuma Vihari, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), R. Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Jasprit Bumrah, Ishant Sharma, Mohd. Shami, Md. Siraj, Shardul Thakur, Umesh Yadav, KL Rahul (subject to fitness clearance), Wriddhiman Saha (wicket-keeper; subject to fitness clearance). Standby players: Abhimanyu Easwaran, Prasidh Krishna, Avesh Khan, Arzan Nagwaswalla

At least he has an approach to Test captaincy where he encourages his players to be the best player that they can be and confident too.

SK_IH Posted June 24, 2021 Posted June 24, 2021 Shaw Rohit Gill Kohli Rahul Vihari/Washi Pant Ashwin Deepak Chahar M Siraj J Bumrah Should move on from Pujara, Rahane & Ishant. The WTC crap is over, let's begin afresh. In absence of a quality seam allrounder, India need to rotate their fast bowlers in the five match series like Aus did in the Ashes 2019. The likes of Shaw & Gill should be a fixture now, what worse they can do then the "settled" middle order. PS : Fans making Rahane the captain, bhai bhagwan se tou daro kam se kam, this guy is a leech of the highest order, still investing in him is insane
