Likely 11

 

KL

Rohit

Kohli

SKY

Pant

SDP ( Hardik)

Jadeja

Ashwin 

Bhuvi

Shami

Bumrah 

 

In important games, TM leans towards “experienced” players :dontknow: 


I think that’s spot on likely where it will end up if you like that line up or not. 
 

I would have  preferred to fit in Varun C somewhere or even Rahul C (not having a good patch recently so concern) over Ashwin.

 

Jadeja is unfortunately undroppable even though have a feeling he will suck with the ball against big teams and might play one good knock followed  by mediocre- pointless-selfish knocks (in each category)

In all likelihood this is the xi we will see:

 

Rohit

KL

Rat

SKY

Pant

SDP

Jaddu

Ash/Thakur

Bhuvi

Bumrah

VC 

 

Just hoping against hope that SDP is able to bowl. Rohit yesterday said that Pandya will be ready to bowl when the tournament starts but Rohit has been saying that since ages

And Pandya even though out of rhythm is a better fit at 6 than Kohli coming at 3. It's a shame that Kohli has been entertained to be the T20 captain for this world cup when his record both as captain and batsman has been abysmal.

Ashwin shouldn't play the Pakistan game. There are just not enough left handers in that team.

 

Rohit

KL

Kohli

Pant

SKY

Pandya

Jadeja

Shardul

Varun C/R Chahar

Shami

Bumrah

 

Play Shami as Pakistani batsman can get rattle with Shami's pace and skills with the new ball. Use him for 3 overs straightaway.

Someone Anyone please explain this 6th bowler obsession ?

 

Do people realize going with 6 bowler means we are only going with 4 proper batsmen on low scoring tracks. 

Pandya is not a bowler. He is a batsman who is expected to roll his arms if someone among the five bowlers is bowling rubbish on a given day

If it's going to be a good batting wicket -

 

KL

Rohit

SKY

Kohli

Pant

Jadeja

Shardul

Bhuvi

Shami

Varun

Bumrah

 

If it's going to be "sporting" or bowling friendly -

 

KL

Rohit

Kohli

Kishan

SKY

Pant

Jadeja

Bhuvi

Shami

Bumrah

Varun

 

Thing to note is that we can't really nail down the playing XI due to these many options so better just back the XI picked to get the job done.

Need someone reliable lower down the order to take advantage of buffet balls of Lassan & Rauf.  If somehow Rohit stays till the end..  It could be carnage.  If it were up to me I'd use Rohit as finisher. 

Not sure Kishan will find a spot but let's see if Kohli & TM think he can counter Imad in PP.

I am going to use the same logic, shouldnt we go with that 5th batsman just incase we have another one of those "30mins" kind of situation.

Imad wasim is a very underrated PP bowler

as @prudent_kreeda suggested, play kishen take him down. Now problem is whom do u drop ?? SKY also can blast shadab n imad

 

In middle order when he returns with shadab send pandya (Who bashed them before) and pant to damage them bad

I like this squad, only if we could have squeezed in Kishan somehow.

Hardik to replace Kishan only if hes bowling as Kishan is in better batting form
