1 or 2 cameos over 3 seasons cannot be the reason you pick someone. Why couldn't he replicate at a lower level in the domestic?  Atleast guys like Iyer/Ruturaj had mega domestic season in some formats.  If you are going to back someone for cameos DK  is your guy. Not this guy. Pant himself is already a cameo guy. We cannot have another cameo guy with limited hitting range.

He outbowled Chahal  in SMAT and scored at 150 SR. Domestics dont mean anything

 

SRK also did well there. Clueless in IPL

It is a specialist batsman position.  You have to be better than producing occasional cameos on certain grounds against certain type of bowlers.  Tons of batsmen have done that in IPL over the years. 1 fifty over the period of 8 years in the IPL. He will be found out at the top level.  This year Rashid khan is batting like Maxwell/Andre Russell on those same pitches.

I would have liked if Shaw was picked ahead of Ruturaj. Also, Samson should have been picked too.

 

He failed yoyo test only less than 2 months back. India's cut off limit is 16.5 in yoyo test which by all accounts is low compared to say NZ yoyo test limit.  Shaw couldn't even hit 15. This was the statement made 2 months back.

 

“If Prithvi is not being repeatedly considered, then perhaps his fitness standards aren’t up to the mark, as in what is expected of a Team India player,” the source told PTI.

What's Rohit's score lol

Most players will have a case but there are too many similar type of players …  Samson, Tripathi, & Moshin should have been there.


KL and Pant as C & VC respectively probably signals at SA winning the series :phehe: 

 

Anyways, appears as if BCCI wants fans to support the more exciting team - SA

Hooda frauding his way through only because he bowls a bit but a different yardstick for selection for abhisekh, what's the use of venky iyer when Hardik is now fit and bowling? Dube would fit in better in the late order then venky.  Happy for axar but no way should Kuldeep be ahead of Ashwin. Flawed selection and it's clear the selectors are a bunch of buffon's who I doubt look into wider aspects of play when it comes to selection. Gaikwad, kl and iyer would be a decent odi top order but not t20. Kl, abhisekh, tripathi, sky, pant etc would be formidable.

Hooda was part of selection even before IPL. They are merely continuing. He has made 5 fifties this season.  Scored over 400 runs. Abhishek sharma works in SRH set up with a tuk tuk williamson as partner. Abishek is not going to open for India. His role will be different where he often has to bat outside power play. Venky Iyer most likely got included to this batting for India in recent series. He and SKY added like 80 runs in the last 5 overs.

Kl and Iyer is a dreadful lineup for t20s ,given you have another batsman Gaikawad who takes 8-10 deliveries to start

Indian selectors are  still in 2000s

They pick batters just looking at their averages, i wouldn't be surprised if they picked this squad to ensure there is a safe route back in the team for kohli and rohit.

On the T20 squad, yet again, they have picked a "safe" squad. They should have picked Mohsin. Also, for the opener slot, we need someone who can give quick starts like Shaw or Jaiswal. I would have also liked to see Padikkal picked. Shouldn't Rahul also get some rest?

So is hooda good enough to replace sky in the middle order? I don't think so, when Rohit is back there is no place for hooda in the team, what India needs now is a dynamic opener or number three, we already have a packed middle and late order plus DK is back. Hooda ain't no different to jadhav.

Only guy who could have replaced Hood would have been Tripathi given that he is also middle order batsman.

66-0 in 10 overs what these boys will aspire for lol once upon a time we had sehwag, utthapa, Raina, Yusuf, yuvi, dhoni, Irfan all in t20 cricket, all capable of batting over 150 strike rates and bowling a few overs now we have iyer, gaikwad, kl hitting full tosses back to the bowler.

Simple observation ,

The regular top 3 generally wastes 6-10 deliveries in the very beginning of their respective innings

 

That amounts to 24-30 deliveries,that is huge loss of deliveries in this age of t20 cricket

Their standbys are no different,which means selectors aren't putting their heads in this simple and most important aspect of the game

Infact it has inspired most of the gen next to play anchor like innings in t20s Everyone wants to be an anchor

 

Kl had huge potential,but he turned into a sissy consolidator, Gaikwad is no different

 

Worst if this lot is Iyer,he should have been kept miles away from iur loi side and only restricted to home tests matches
