Ishant

Shami

 

 

 

[The Realist]

Too much niggling going on that its difficult to keep track 

[VT87]

They are already rested and didn’t play  against NZ  ,how is it possible to get injured without playing.?

[Lone Wolf]

Dale Steyn still haunts Rohit looks like   Gujara & Rahane are getting some otherworldly luck.  Both are now 100% starters in Centurion.

Golden chance for India to win the test series!

We are going to get massacred with this line up lol..  Vihari Panchal Easwaran none of them are match winners. 

[Lone Wolf]

That being said rather than selecting a old 31 year old domestic bully in Panchal BCCI should have been bold & picked up in form Ruturaj Gaikwad for tour.  He has the game to score big runs n face fast bowlers.  Terrible vision yet again..

[kubrickian]

How the heck does KL Rahul manage to get injured so often ? The guy has the worst fitness of a batsman I ever saw. Its important to look past him as a regular team member if he gets injured this often to be honest. 

 

[ShoonyaSifar]

Apparently Kohli hasn't yet reported to the team hotel in Mumbai where players were asked to assemble for 3 days of quarantine before the departure to SA on 16th. If true, could be non-compliance of pre-tour covid protocols. Not sure what that means for the travel to SA.

 

Will we see Rahul leading us on this tour now?

Ya lol. We are depleted. I still think our A team players will do well. May win. Because they are hungry.
