Jadeja's batting promotion has the Rahul Dravid tappa all over it

[sarcastic]

I see absolutely no sense or reason in Jadeja's promotion today except may be to give him a batting chance after a long break.

 

But I can definitely see Rahul Dravid's hand in that. In fact, he would have insisted that to happen just like how Irfan Pathan has been promoted under his captaincy.

 

Do any of you feel it is a good move or experiment. Discuss.

If Samson would have been sent ahead and he gotten out, it would have counted as failure for him. Same for Venky  Iyer. So, isn't it good that they sent a guy who is a senior in 17th over?

[Lord]

if Samson was promoted,it'd have been Dravid's idea due to RR connection.

bad move.  

 

India needs to stop wasting time 'assessing' Jadeja the t20 cricketer.  We know what he has to offer.  At best, he's a backup squaddie.

Don't feel one way or another about this being a Dravid move, but it's not a good move at all. Why give bonus batting opportunity to Jaddu when none of the youngsters get such freebies? 

[Serpico]

Yes he likes to fiddle with batting order in LOI, that much we are aware of. 

 

Just don't understand why jadeja. There are better options in LOIs

Samson was number 3 in the initial list. Also, Rohit backed him like anything in the presser.

So, no it would be called as Dravid's idea if Samson was promoted. But I agree that Samson's selection to the T20I squad would have had Dravid's backing because he has seen him closely with RR.

Personally, I don't think that is wrong/corruption on the part of coach/captain. You back who you know better and trust more than what their numbers say.
It is the same reason why Ishan Kishan has being backed until he succeeded today.

@Kothili, WTF will you troll-vote my OP. I have already ignored you long back and hence did not get notified.

I really request the ICF moderators to give additional option to the posters so that ignored users cannot give any reactions to you. (Positive or Negative)

@express bowling- hey look im not the only one who underestimates jadeja 2.0 the batsman . Itna saal dhoka diya nhin hota vishwas kya kare

It is likely based on maintaining L-R combination rather than looking at the match situation 

 

Rohit got out -> S Iyer walked in 

 

Kishan got out -> Jadeja walked in 

 

Likely ti be discussed by both Rohit & Dravid, which may mean that India could be playing with predetermined concepts rather than situation

Correct.

 

My main issue with today's performance was our poor scoring from the 7th to 15th over, we really should have scored 200+ with our launch pad.

 

Our fielding was also terrible. Simple dropped catches is unacceptable.

Jadeja  won't do tuk tuk, this is good move.

Aggressive and relentless. It may work or may not, but at least he tried.

 

Will be interesting if Kohli and KL will take this approach or tik tok tuk tuk, lol.

Jadeja's promotion has another side effect.. it might leave no place for Bishnoi

If only Shreyas Iyer can bowl half decent leg spin like Livingstone he can easily replace Jadeja. 

 

Since Jaddu made debut  performance middle order (4-11) for India in T20.  Rohit as lower order is an exception. Other than that nobody has a strike rate lower than Jaddu batting 4 to 11.  Anyway Jaddu bowls between 6th and 15th. You can easily slip in a few overs from any part timer during this phase. Heck even Krunal Pandya has a strike rate of 130.

Just 4 to 5 balls left to play. Is it not good to test Samson in situations where he gets the meat?

Foolish decision  all those years he is played as finisher with dhoni. Now india will have no finisher down the order.
