Lone Wolf Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) Except maybe as opener Kohli isn't in my T20 XI. He is still good against genuine pace as he showed he can survive against Shaheen in WT20. Kela sorry folks is not cut out for big games. Rohit Kohli Iyer Pant SKY Venky/Jaddu That's my top 6 Edited February 27, 2022 by Lone Wolf Link to comment

Average season + bowling full quota in every match might still get him selected Our coach saahab publicly rued his absence (and Jadeja's) in SA (though it was for ODIs, thinking remains the same for T20Is as well). Jadeja gets in and project Jadeja restarted. Expect same for Pandya once he is fit to bowl even 1-2 overs. Link to comment

Iyer Pant SKY the trioca are terrific middle order options & all of them can accelerate briskly. Iyer has ability to do dual role. Rahul as of now doesn't look superior to SKY at no 5 who is in terrific nick & has wider range against all kinds of bowling. As we cannot play Rohit Rahul Kohli all three together & repeat WT20.. At least Rahul has to sit out. Link to comment

Rahul himself is one of the best players of fast bowling n hard length in team All 3 play for me - shudnt compare UAE to Australia...these 3 are ur best players of fast bowling n hard length in team . It will a completely diff ball game in australia neither shud be we compare indian or UAE conditions to it. Iyer- at best a good backup but not at all good option in Aus inf Link to comment

Iyer- at best a good backup but not at all good option in Aus inf Let's see if Iyer SKY display same kind of form in coming games.. I can see Dravid taking a call on Rahul or even Kohli. It's not always about hard length... Ball does jags a lot in new MCG pitch like we have seen in recent SL series. Also we are supposed to play SA in Optus Perth which also is fast paced track with lateral movement. Rahul looks lost against left arm pace at the start. Link to comment

Yes the Boundaries were small compared to Aus but zip & pace in the track was fairly same. Again I say let's see something tells me that Rohit & Dravid won't shy taking bold calls. Bringing Sanju outta nowhere suggests they are open to thinking outside the box. Cricspin 1 Link to comment

Ankit_sharma03 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 If you want to select pacer for australian well then keep in mind same for batsman as well, Dnt take BBL seriously coz quality of pacer in WC wud be something else so make sure to select best players of pace n bounce. SL series or IPL wnt matter much as its Indian conditions and with dew Link to comment

Vijy Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Since OP's question is about who TM will actually play (instead of our own "fantasy" XIs), this is my guess: Rohit KL Kohli Pant (wk)/Samson (wk) SKY/S. Iyer R. Jadeja --> TM seems to have decided that Jadeja can/will bat at 5 or 6 V. Iyer Deepak Chahar Lord/Harshal Bishnoi/Sundar Bumrah I feel they are too invested in batting depth, which is why we'll get the above team. Link to comment

Texan Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I know that there is no way that Kohli is going to get dropped but this would be my XI: 1. Rohit 2. Kishan / Ruturaj 3. Shreyas 4. Pant 5. Suryakumar 6. Venkatesh Iyer 7. Jadeja 8. Harshal 9. Bumrah 10. Avesh 11. Bishnoi Link to comment
