We backed Rahane for No 4 all the way till the WC and dropped him right at the end.

 

Similarly Chahal and D Chahar was backed for long time, only to be dropped right before WT20. Someone like Natrajan as well was dropped without valid reasons, he has a unique skill set as a death bowler.

 

Natarajan is injured

I thought natrajan was dropped because of COVID?

Not necessarily. Bhuvi for e.g. did not attempt to even hit a boundary and focused on 2s. His SR is lower than Pant’s who played 30 balls.

As for 2 balls, 4. Usefulness, depends upon batting position. Teams have lost by 1 run.

Comparing him with Bhuvi 

Pandya's standards have dropped badly.

KL and Shaw were far and away the most successful openers in IPL and so muddled is the thinking - from fans to selectors - that Ishan is spoken about as opener without a solid body of work. Has Ishan opened for his team for a season? If not, then what makes him a good candidate for opening in the middle of a WC campaign?

 

he has opened with success for MI and even India in whatever matches he opened.

 

Also brings the left hander element we need at the top.

 

I love Shaw's batting,hes the future Sehwag. But as of now he's not in the squad and has fitness issues to sort.

What now, the best white ball bowler in the world has no wicket taking ability.

 

Need to stop overreacting based on one match where our bowlers were bowling with a wet ball.

 

Agreed that Bhuvi needs to be replaced with Thakur, unfortunately there are no other pace bowlers to replace Shami ( Siraj, D Chahar would have been good options)

 

Hardik needs to be replaced as well, shyte squad selection, left with bare bones.

Bumrah is not the same bowler after his injury. He has been overplayed .Teams are happy to see him off by losing 1 or 2 wickets.
