  1. 1. Is DK the best T20I finisher that India got?

    • Yes, he is and should be in playing XI
    • No, there are much better alternatives
    • He is good but he does not add up to the team composition

My first thought was that this would not have happened under the new crossing over rules!

 

Yes as soon as the rule was changed this was the match that came to my mind.

Re-watching it, I feel like DK trusted VS too much in the last 2 overs. There was even a ball where he was willing to run 2 following a VS shot that left me shaking my head. Luckily the run was not on.

DK has become a good finisher coz he learnt it by watching the overseas finishers.. not the MSD template which works once in a bluemoon at international level and that too against minnows/ tier 2 teams.. you need to be a 360 player if you are not built like a bull. Period.

he was always good , he was always 360. I have seen him switch hit sixes to ajanata mendis in CL game back in 2008-10 

he was guy who finished the 1st t20i we ever played. Its just that we didnt explore much with 2 guys DK n Uthappa

yes.. I am referring to his golden period in last 5 years built on strong base and hitting 360 with help from personal coach Abhishek Nayar.

He is an effective user of the crease to get himself into position.   Somewhat like Dilshan when he was at his best. Can play shots with confidence.

While he did nothing great since comeback, there is this one aspect where no one can beat him. In death overs, he has that quality, he can toy with literally any fast bowler. From superfast Jasprit Bumrah to gentle medium Mustafizur.

He earned his selection. It is up to him to sign off on a positive note and in the process help team India.   Pant's potential vs DK's form will always be a debate until he leaves. Depends on who performs. For so many months Kishan was groomed as opener. Now only i realize he was groomed as opener for MI lol Once IPL was over his chances diminished.

Since he was in the 2007 WT20 team I just couldn't stop thinking how good that team's batting was after 2 proven openers

 

Rohit

Yuvraj

Dhoni

Uthappa

Karthik

Irfan

Bhajji
