Feeling a bit worried about the t20 WC

[QuarantineTormentino]

Title says it all. Top order seems to be woefully out of form, captaincy a huge issue as well. Of the pacers in the Main squad only Shami has done okay. Spinners have been decent though.

Our streak might end

What's the worry? We aren't favourites.

Naah.

 

Reminder that they are playing in IPL, which is levels above Pakistan cricket so being made to look worse than they are. And not like Kohli, KL and Rohit haven't had runs - just slow ones.

 

In 2015 before the WC we are smashed in the tri series but then coasted the Pak match.

 

Similarly in 2018 we had lost to England both ODIs and tests but easily coasted the two Pakistan games.

 

Even 2016 - the Pak match was the easiest one we had.

You need surprise factor. Our line up has been a predictable for one for a very long time. T20 may be the shortest format. But batting depth will  be handy. This is where they have to decide between Chahar and Bhuvi.

You guys are investing too much of your thoughts and energy in this tournament .

We are no way near the favorites (I don't care what the Papers ,tabloids write) ,if we get out it'll  be in a similar pattern to what we have seen in the last decade or so ,if we win ,it'll come as a pleasant surprise! 

Just enjoy the effing tournament

Exactly. There are atleast 3 ahead of us in terms of complete t20 team

They are relaxing now. Saving the best for World T20s and hence not giving their best shot in IPL.

We had a streak?

[Lone Wolf]

If there is any chance for streak to end it will be in a T20 WC not the ODI one.  

We most likely won't win the cup but keeping the streak alive would be very pleasing result. 

[Sgattick10]

As long as we beat the Pakiiis

We already lost to Pak in CT. Streak ended long time back.

CT is no WC..  WC streak is the one that's counted.  We lost to Pakistan too many times in CT already..  I remember 2009 CT loss to Pak as a kid.

Well the streak doesn't *ing matter to me, in fact to most Indians either! Just give me 2003 WC, 2017 CT, 2016 or 2014 WT20 over any of these useless streaks

Agree with this. They are clearly pacing themselves, its much better that way than going all out now and collapsing while on international duty

[coffee_rules]

Except for Jadeja. none of the selected are clicking. I am getting a bit worried too, esp batting. At least for India's sake. don't mind MI winning as there are 5 from MI in the Indian team. India comes first

[sandeep]

I have zero expectations for T20 WC.

 

This team will surprise if it does anything of note.
