ungboysj Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Odi team is struggling at present. Reasons I feel we are struggling No aggression in top order batting Not enough all rounders Lower middle order not dynamic enough Considering these points and that world Cup is in India and will require spinners I put forward following team for discussion Rohit Shaw Kohli Sky Pant Rahul Pandya Jadeja Ashwin/bishnoi/chahal/axar who ever is most likely to take wickets Prasidh/siraj Bumrah We bat deep with aggression at top and lower middle for finish. Specialist spinners which are needed in India nad good pacers Only issue is no 6th bowler can sundar replace rahul Or maybe we can go ultra agressive with batting till 8 Link to comment
Adamant Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Kohli/Rohit/Sky need to bowl in order to make the above lineup a possibility. Link to comment
Austin 3:!6 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Rohit Dhawan Kohli Gill Rahul Pant Jadeja 1 spinner Bumrah Seamer A Seamer B Link to comment
Majestic Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Shreyas Iyer has to be backed knowing that next World Cup is in India assuming that he fills the sixth bowler role. Rohit Dhawan Kohli KL Shreyas Pant(wkt) Jadeja Shardul/D Chahar 1 Spinner Shami/Siraj Bumrah This is what the team will be. If Pandya is fit enough and willing to bowl 4-5 overs, he comes in for Shreyas. Do not expect anymore change. Link to comment

raki05 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Kohli should only play test cricket. He is done worst than Dhawan. Common selectors drop this Kohli and relieve him and us for this miserey. express bowling 1 Link to comment

Vijy Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) There are several things to bear in mind: 1. The template of ODI batting is such that scores of 320-330 and above are almost imperative, 2. the job of bowlers is to bowl 10 overs for not-so-many and wkts don't matter greatly, and 3. we have lost most of our wkt taking bowlers - boom is poor in ODIs in past 2 yrs, shami is too old, kuldeep is out, chahal has regressed, rest don't merit a mention. based on this, I propose that the template should be to bat as deep as possible and have as many explosive players as possible. in other words, attempt to do what Eng (also NZ) did at their peak. 1. Shaw 2. Pant (wk) 3. Rohit (c) /Gill --> I believe that one consolidator is needed if early wkts fall. Moreover, Rohit/Gill should be able to score at 90 SR in theory. 4. Gaekwad/SKY --> Gaekwad has excellent game vs spin. moreover, at 4, he will have enough time to settle and go for big shots later 5. KLR/SKY --> choose wisely based on conditions 6. Sundar/Jaddu - don't be fooled by low avg and SR. Sundar can score at 100 SR in ODIs if given a run. 7. Hardik/V. Iyer - they should play only if they can function as 6th bowler. V. Iyer has not looked convincing, but 2 matches is too small sample size. 8. Thakur 9. D. Chahar 10. A. Patel 11. Bumrah/Siraj/Bishnoi/Prasidh --> choose as per conditions batting till 10. lot of flexibility since many of these players can be moved up and down the order. bowling is s**t, but we lack wkt taking bowlers anyway, so might as well as try and bat deep.

cricketfan28 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 we will lose in the semis , a respectable outcome . Link to comment
zen Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Still some time to go … but have to start playing guys like Pant as an opener Lord and Vijy 2 Link to comment
kubrickian Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) Pant should never bat higher than 5 or 6. Dont think he is suited to bat long. Shreyas should be sent at 5, he deserves a few more chances. KLR at 4. Suryakumar and Rohit to open with Kohli at 3. Suryakumar Rohit Kohli KLR Shreyas Pant Jadeja Hardik Pandya/Thakur W Sundar/D Chahar/another spinner Bumrah Siraj/Shami/Prasidh/another seamer We bat deep till 9. Can also play both Pandya and Thakur if Shreyas dropped from side - giving 6 bowling options. Edited January 23, 2022 by kubrickian Link to comment
express bowling Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Given the fact that Kohli and Rohit will play, no matter what .... 1. Rohit / Gill 2. Shaw / Kishan 3. Kohli / Gill 4. Pant / SKY 5. Rahul / SKY 6. Hardik / Shardul 7. Jadeja / Axar 8. Deepak / Shardul 9. Bishnoi / Spinner 10. Bumrah / Prasidh 11. Siraj / Prasidh Link to comment
