Majestic Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) It seems team management has decided that they will go with Rohit, Dhawan and Kohli will be top three. That is a given and won't change. Rahul will also come in at 4. My playing XI would be :- Rohit Dhawan Kohli KL Sundar(in mould of Shakib type A/R) Pant(wkt) Shardul Deepak Siraj Prasidh Bishnoi/Yuzi No place for SKY or Shreyas or even Hooda. Can pick Kuldeep as second spinner also. Discuss! Edited January 28, 2022 by Majestic nevada, express bowling and BacktoCricaddict 3 Link to comment

tweaker Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 The team will be packed with experience players and that youngsters who can be dropped easily . SRT100 and express bowling 1 1 Link to comment
Lone Wolf Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) KL is missing from 1st ODI.. I'll go with Ruturaj Dhawan (unfortunately) Rohit Kohli Pant (wk) SKY (finisher) Washy D Chahar Bishnoi Siraj Prasidh Potential 1 game shootout between Dhawan & Ruturaj. Whoever comes on top won't be a back up opener. Tough ask for Rutu but only way he can make Rahul Dravid think otherwise. Btw Rahul Dravid will 100% not play Rutu Bishnoi but field same playing XI like last ODI with Washy replacing Jayant. Edited January 28, 2022 by Lone Wolf Link to comment
express bowling Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Dravid said that the erstwhile top 3 will play, no matter what. So, for ODIs ... 1. Rohit 2. Dhawan 3. Kohli 4. Pant 5. Rahul 6. SKY 7. Deepak 8. Washington 9. Bishnoi 10. Prasidh 11. Siraj No way to pick a 6th bowler without weakening an already weak batting. SRT100 1 Link to comment

I have no problem with Hitman as his acceleration can and is destructive. I would even argue, that when he has his eye in, no boundary is safe. We just need Dhawan and Kohli to get out early. Heaven forbid they do well, that could cement their career for another year in this team. This team bats deep, yet will go tuk tuk for 30+ overs. Link to comment

The acceleration of Hitman though is breathtaking. Kohli and Dhawan have not been anywhere near this for a long long time. Hitman and Pant the only Indian players capable of hitting a double century in ODIs. express bowling 1 Link to comment

Sgattick10 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Rahul is not playing 1st ODI so probably shardul and deepak both will play Link to comment
Pollack Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Since Rohit, Dhawan and Kohli are our top 3 nothing has changed. Our approach will be same. Slow starts, stats padding by top 3 till the match which really matters and then sh!t their pants and alas middle order gets the blame. Vijy 1 Link to comment

Reality is that apart from occasional beatings in bilaterals, cricket in ODIs is not competitive enough to force Indian team to bear the consequences of sub-optimal batting tactics. We'll still manage to win more often than we lose in useless ODI games and series, and infantile idiots who don't understand what's going on will "defend" Virat or whoever is captain, by citing "winning percentage". Only way to force a change in tactics and selection is losses. repeated ones. If there is no new batsman as opener in the Windies ODI series, I'll probably end up having to wish for Indian loss so that we get the changes we need if we are to have any realistic chance for ODI WC victory in home conditions.

He is much better at 4 or 5. And Sundar is better at 8 as he is not a big hitter yet. Link to comment
