2 reasons

•  backup opener within squad so they dont have to take extra players and kishen hsnt helped his chances
• Plan-B , if needed we may see KL drop down the order and one of them goes up 

 

Kishan should have been persisted with. Can help us against Shaheen, Fizz, Shadab biggest threat to our openers in this Asia cup.

Against shaheen i dont know how ?? Any kind of movement and that guy is in big trouble .................even a much superior david warner was finding hard to play shaheen 

Kishen had one role to bat aggresively in PP and he failed at that to this yr...........i think his s/r now this yr in PP is around 110 

 

 

Even warner didnt find it easy , if a guy is swinging the ball at that pace no one will find it easy 

 

If technical expertise is need rather rely on rahul-rohit who opens for us in test, yes they have failed against shaheen but if they are struggling what chance does kishen have who anyways has no great technique . Shadab can be handled by pant-pandya-sky

Collapsed again. More of a self-inflicted one. Shaheen has totally messed their heads. They have to plwy him normally.

Gave practise against Pak in the T20WC22

With such pointless batting by the openers, 10/3 could have been better!

apparently, he and the team decided that selfish tuk-tuking is the answer to 10/3.

 

however, I expect to see the familiar scorecard when the 2023 WC comes around

ODI world cup is in Oct-Nov 2023 ... Tuk Tuk, given his batting, fielding, and captaincy, may not last that longer

he will last till 2024, and kohli till 2026-2027, mark my words. these soooperstars are too large to remove.

[Frustrated]

He scores 27 from 28 in a crucial KO game on the flattest patta.  And talks about 10/3 situations.   LOL.   I would rather like to hv  10/3 situation than watching his crappy batting.

That was an embarrassing innings. Couldn't time the ball at all,but kept consuming deliveries like it was a test match. And speaking of test matches, he is conveniently "injured" for tough overseas series.

India may have scored more runs vs England if Hitman and KL got out really early.

quite possible with SKY, pandu, and pants getting more balls

With hitman batting for almost 5 overs for only about less than 30 runs, it would have made a huge difference in our final score.

 

India simply must change the tuk tuk approach at 1,2,3.

Every f**king old player wants to anchor or consolidate an innings. This is India's biggest problem.

 

In the WC next year, Hitman, Dhawan and Kohli will all be the same and want to anchor an innings.

don't forget mentally weak Kela. and selectors will do their best to bring back manish pandey, DK, etc. somehow.

 

although there is zero chance of it happening, would be nice to see the following top 6 strictly for home (India) conditions in ODIs:

 

1. Shaw

2. Gill

3. Iyer

4. Pant (wk)

5. SKY

6. Pandu

Time for the middle order to stand up thanks to preparation by Captain Sharma

[Austin 3:!6]

Good timely bump...lol

 

[Forever Indian]

Rohit instructed top order to test the middle order and they were so eager that it became 2-3

[raki05]

MO be like “cheating hai cheating Tu cheat karta hai 10/3 bol ke 2/3 de diya.

[Lord]

gotta respect Rohit for consistently putting team in 10/3 situations so team has ample preparation before semis
