Unbelievable - he more concerned about marketing than actual cricket!

If India bowls first with 7 batsmen and 4 in form we will surely win with dew. But if we bat first that’s where the issue lies. We need to score 185 in Dubai to be sure. Now to score 185 we need at least a 70 run opening partnership in 8 overs and rest 115 in 12 overs spread across the rest. 185 plus is not easy to chase even if you are 90 in 10 overs due to pressure ( ipl final) and as rr goes up you try to hit out with long boundaries and get caught. I ll definitely have Varun C thats why..

Would love to Kishan play and that to as a opener but I don't see it happening, pandya seems like a fixed position, team management should have conveyed a lot earlier about pandya's bowling fitness to the selectors, he was never a automatic choice but ATM team management has fixed his position, so the likely starting eleven be 1) Rohit, 2) kl, 3) kohli, 4) sky, 5) pant, 6) pandya, 7) jadeja, 8) lord thakur, 9) Varun, 10) shami, 11) bumrah

Someone create the match thread pls...big game..so need build up. I am not having good strike rate lately and thus not taking the risk.

 

Who want to open the match thread?

[sandeep]

I have zero expectation from kuptaan wrogn.  Its up to other batsmen if we have to win it, same feeling about Jadeja.  Those 2 are more likely to be passengers than contributors, and with a genuine probability albeit slim, of being liabilities.

[speedheat]

Want to see shardul take on against pak  his agression in mo will be crucial.

Kohli will bowl an over or two when its safe. That should negate the need for a 6th bowler option.

 

This is the XI India will go with.

 

Hitman

KL

Kohli

SKY

Pant

Kishan

Jaddu

Ash

Bhuvi

Shami

Bumrah

 

In Pakistan game, Ash is a No-no for me. They don't have left handers.  

[vvvslaxman]

Ideally kuldeep like bowlers pose big problem to padosis. Someone who can actually turn. Darting might play into their hands. 

[SK_IH]

Rahul

Rohit

Kishan

Virat

SKY

Pant

Jadeja

Thakur

Chakravarty

Shami

Bumrah

 

Hardik should play if can contribute with few overs, otherwise waste of space.

[SK_IH]

Watch out for Bumrah all fantasy players here, must have choice as captain in this game. 

[mani sha]

Pandya will be our main man this tournament along with jadeja and thakur 

 

my 11 

 

rahul

Rohit 

kohli 

sky 

pant 

pandya 

jadeja 

thakur 

bumrah 

ashwin / kumar / legspin/ shami  - this to me is the crucial tactical decision . 
 

it depends on pitch , ground length and angles and opposition . 
against pak - Shami and ashwin for sure 

 

[express bowling]

My preferred 11  ( given than Kohli and Rohit are fixed spots at 2 and 3  )

 

1. Rahul

2. Rohit

3. Kohli

4. SKY

5. Pant

6. Kishan / Hardik ( only if he bowls )

7. Jadeja

8. Shardul

9. Shami

10. Bumrah

11. Varun

More then Shaheen, we should be wary of Imad who has a very very good record in the UAE. Kishen MUST play, otherwise he will trouble both our right handed openers (heck he troubled De Kock who is a left hander in the warm ups lol)

[QuarantineTormentino]

Imad Wasim: 18 wickets in 11 t20is in the UAE at an economy of 5.50 and best bowling figures of 5/14

Oooh we are quivering mate. We are so scared. Get out of here. We are going to annihilate this team easy until it's a KO then kohli will choke.

[Ankit_sharma03]

1. kishen

5. sky
6. pandya
7. thakur
8. jaddu
9. shami
10. bumrah
11. Chahar/ashwin/Bhuvi (last minute call)

Logically kishen feels right but my gut feel also says Rohit will do well this Wc

Can you let us know against which teams?

Australia, NZ, SL and WI but weaker version of Australia.

 

Pakistan's T20I stats should be taken with a grain of salt. most of their t20 success came around 2018 when most teams were preparing for the 2019wc by resting players etc. post 2019 against stronger teams, pak has been slaughtered.
