maniac Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) Indias biggest issue has been left arm bowlers running through the top 3. Usually left handers play left arm fast bowling relatively better. Our opening left handed options are Dhawan DDP Kishen Venky Iyer. out of the 4 Dhawan doesn’t really seem the worst option. Also did well in Australia last time. A veteran with a great temperament and not a selfish player at all. Maybe time to revisit his utility in the T20 side.

maniac Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 Dhawan wasn’t in WC semis or WT20. Even in CT, he did survive the opening spell even though he was out for a low score. Plays Starc really well. I think we can’t be biased here. Maybe there is a chance he will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he will do better in Australia as he does Play well square of the wicket. His problem mostly in T20s is his lack of scoring options or going aerial straight. In Australia he can use the pace well to score runs in PP. Dropping Kohli & adding Dhawan will be a boost to India. Fills up experience quota if Kolli is gone. Known run performer against Pakistan too. maniac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vvvslaxman Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I think we cannot bring back players for "specific scenarios". It never ended well for us. Dravid playing ODI series, RP singh playing ENgland series out of the blue, backing Rahane "for his past performances". India has to go with the best inform side and may be shuffle the batting order. Dhawan has issues against off spinners upfront. Norman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut, Square drive & odd pull. He jas developed a good enough slog sweep against spin too. In India u need players who are stronger in the V & agility to play aerial shots straight up to be successful & that's where Dhawan struggles. In Aus he enjoys the bounces & rides it to play those square off the wicket shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shubhman has no chance of getting picked... And he only has himself to blame. Needed a breakout IPl season. I doubt he will picked barring Test sides in near future... Which is a pity.

Majestic Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 What we must understand is that if Dhawan plays, then Rahul goes at 4 and only one of Pant or SKy will play at 5, Pandya or V Iyer at 6 and Jadeja at 7. So, Dhawan is a NO for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Realist Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 The only place to visit/revisit Dhawan is in a retirement home. 2022 and his name is still coming up. So so sad. Norman and wanted_desi 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedheat Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Better than fraud rahul, I'd like Gill to counter lefthanders, but Dhawan isn't terrible either, especially if the other possibilities are Rahul, Venky, Kishan, and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
