Warrier handed his cap

[QuarantineTormentino]

India win the toss and choose to bat first

[rageaddict]

From Mumbai's schools to Kerala's Ranji Trophy team, here's Warrier's story.

thought he was a proper Malyali but looks like he learnt his Cricket in Mumbai. 

[rageaddict]

It's a fresh pitch today , would be easier to bat than yday. India needs 160+. 

[Frustrated]

I hope Dhawan doesn't cement his place in the test squad today by playing another inning of 40 off 45 balls. 

[QuarantineTormentino]

Lol Sakariya and Sandeep both playing

[The Realist]

Dreadful batting line-up

 

India (Playing XI): Shikhar Dhawan(c), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devdutt Padikkal, Sanju Samson(w), Nitish Rana, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Rahul Chahar, Sandeep Warrier, Chetan Sakariya, Varun Chakravarthy

[SK_IH]

Shikhar should take some responsibility & bat in the middle order

[rageaddict]

Sri Lanka have dropped Udana and picked another batter instead. They back themselves to chase anything that Indians set up. 

 

 

[QuarantineTormentino]

I know this is wishful thinking but I do hope Dhawan pushes himself to 1 down and lets DDP play in his preferred position

[speedheat]

They are  continuing with Sucker sakariya, even if he gets 8fer today he is not good enough to play for team India.

Why did he choose to bat first? They look at our glorious pacers - Sakariya Vaas, Sandeep (jiske naam mein hi warrior ho, uska kaam kaise hoga), and Bhuvi Knuckles, they will start shaking in their boots.  Why did so many batsmen be in close contact with Krunal? Kya bachpana hai yeh?

[nitinbwj]

Krunal should have equally distributed the close contact between bowlers and batsmen. Saare batsmen le gya.. 

 

[coffee_rules]

Why not Arshdeep Singh over Sakariya?

[deepdynamo]

Welcome to 125kmh attack - Bhuvi, Sakariya and Warrier. 

 

Laughing stock.

saala nikamma

[Vickydev]

I guess Porel doesnt impress in nets in this format. Doesnt get picked by IPL sides nor here over Sakaria

[Frustrated]

So Jaydev Unadkat had returned to our team with a different name.  And selectors think we are fools.  

[rageaddict]

Sakariya is playing under the " humble background " quota . There has to be atleast one such player in the squad who went from rags to riches.

Sandeep warriers batting average is 2.28 in list A but a HUGE 16 perc improvement in First Class with an average of 2.65
