Shahbaz Ahmed potential replacement of Dudeja?

[Lone Wolf]

I am impressed with this guy's attitude.  Plays with so much confidence. 

Picks up crucial wickets when he bowls.  Scores handy runs.  Is not as Hyped as Samad Parag or Abhishek but silently making impact (even in last IPl) 

Hopefully RCB plays him ahead of Rutherford or Willey. 

Dudeja has suc*d balls in IPl all these years.

Batting may be. But bowling? Axar is probably a better bowler. But inferior with bat.  Part time spinning all rounder can be selected only if they are as good as like Maxwell/Livingstone.

Too early. Jadeja has performed well as a finisher in LOIs recently. Assuming everybody is fit, this should be our first XI for the World Cup:

 

Rohit

 

Kishan/KL

 

Iyer
 

SKY

Pant

 

Hardik

 

Jadeja

 

Harshal

 

Siraj

 

Chahal

 

Bumrah

If Shreyas can get some bowling practice in any of bi lateral series coming up it would be massive

[QuarantineTormentino]

Don’t forget we also have Hooda and Venky in our scheme of things

[Majestic]

Are usse pehle Axar Patel hai line me..

[zen]

A good prospect but let the selectors work it out 

 

What difference does it make to anyone if some ppl here say he is a good replacement and some say he is not ... Tomorrow, there could be another thread on another player  

 

Stop playing selectors and enjoy IPL for what it is

Only one among Hardik & Jaddu should be there.  I would prefer a pure batsman over one of them.  Otherwise it maybe a repeat of last WT20.

Hooda is barely a 1 over bowler.  Yes his batting has come a long way.  Not a world cup material yet though.  May work out in ODIs. 

Shahbaz is a 4 over bowler on most days.  His hitting looks better than someone like Sundar.  Remember it was a slowish Wankhede pitch last night.  He was still striking it well against a decent bowling outfit.

He isn't a part-time spinner. He can easily be picked at 7.

You absolutely don't need 2 spinners in Australia, new zeland or south africa. Absolutely not. One Lone spinner who can bat.

Bowling by most accounts is his stronger suite. Proper 5 day game bowler.

 

On topic, he is a terrific cricketer though. Would like to see how he progresses with more responsibility of winning matches for his side

If Dho*b*i is autocorrected to Dhoni, why is Dudeja not autocorrected

Very surprised people are calling him part time spinner.  Whenever I have seen him bowl he more often than not picks wickets.  Stays economical.  

Meanwhile Dudeja sucks in all facets of the game barring once in a blue moon performance after a decade of Investment. 

[Lord]

Very impressed with him. Called it in the thread hes most balanced spin AR we have

 

Others struggle in atleast one area

[Vijy]

he is a good bat and a decent bowler. however, I hope he gets more bowling  chances

[zen]

Tilak Verma bowled too so an opportunity for "armchair selectors" to open a thread on him too

[AuxiliA]

Ayega to Jadeja hi..

[Lord]

 

Very impressive. Hope he bowls too.

[Ankit_sharma03]

Axar- better for subcontinet 

Overseas- Krunal 

 

Lekin fir bhi TM khilaygi jaddu ko
