Was gonna mention the same thing, bilateral ka sher. 2 mm movement from Hasan Ali, he edges it. Some bounce at MCG, he screws up as well. Is pancake pitches all you're good for ?

 

I have always been skeptical about his batting abilities since I learnt that he is the only batsman in the world to make a T20 debut at the age of 32.

If he is so talented (360 degree),  WTH was he doing all these years?

He will bounce back strongly against Bangladesh.

He has done enough that we don't need to talk about his place after every failure. Whwt he does in Australia is future, but he deserves the chances he is getting.

His struggles outside off stump are purely technical. He needs to be brought on lower down, Pandya is better against this sort of bowling

Or can also open with Surya. 

[Lord]

Got a good one. Not too worried

 

Infact liked his intent to put pressure back on the opposition

[Bigg Brother]

Got a good one today..That ball really climbed up at fiery pace... Showed intent as soon as came to bat after that lethargic start by Rohit-KLR. Can snatch away match from opposition on his day..

[Vk1]

I feel that he might be playing for his reputation something that Viru used to do a lot in ODIs ( reason why he didn't do as well as in tests ).. SKY has to recalibrate while chasing scores <165.. trying to be positive is good but also make sure that we preserve wickets when target is not huge.. I won't mind that shot while chasing 180+

And the criticism for going missing in key games esp when top order misfires. 

[SM2907]

Hit or get out. I think that approach is fine in this version of the game with pandya dk ashwin to follow in batting 

[Gollum]

Like his attitude and playing style, but about time he fires in a key game.

 

2021 T20 WC, Asia Cup last month, now this opening fixture. He has mostly fired against minnows and second string attacks in inconsequential games. Time running out, he isn't spring chicken. 

[Gollum]

Not entirely convinced about his game on Aus decks, against 140+ attacks, hard lengths etc.....hope he proves me wrong.

2021 T20 WC vs Pak Dubai 11(8)

 

2022 Asia Cup

vs Pak 18(18), Naseem too fast for him

vs Pak  13(10)

vs Lanka 34(29) knock where Rohit was going at 175 SR for his 70 odd

 

2022 T20 WC

vs Pak 15(10) and for some ICFers this is acceptable!!!

Swagger is what we like. Seena taan ke aao, aur ladke log mast khush 

[Vk1]

saying it again.. he is set to become GOAT Indian T20I batsman in 1-2 years

[nevada]

Deserves an A for attitude. Doesn't ever look to shut shop and tuk tuk no matter how dire the scorecard is. His job is to score runs and he's gonna keep trying to do that, always.

This guy SKY is the real deal. Not just in this team but in world cricket. Has got the skills and the attitude. Seems to have that intensity and is fearless.

he is doing it in International cricket what the great ABD used to do to substandard bowlers in IPL 

[Laaloo]

First name in the T20 playing XI

[Swag]

Superb innings on a fast Perth pitch against SA quicks.  All other batsmen fell like ninepins.

Ad jingle:

 

Open with Surya

#3 bhi Surya

#4 toh Surya

Finisher bhi Surya

 

Har sawaal ka jawaab .... SURYA!!

 

Friends, this may or may not last, but right now, the guy is killing it. 

 

Not because of his body language, but because he is in immaculate form.  And when he loses form in 2 - 3 years, we should thank him for his services, celebrate him for his achievements and sunset his place in the team unless he comes back with a vengeance.  That is what T20 cricket is all about. 

 

If KLR was making these scores - body language be damned - we would be celebrating him.  But, right now, he is on a down-cycle - happens to all.  So, sit him so he can figure things out and come back stronger because one thing is for sure - the guy has all the batting talent in the world.  It's really not that complicated, but we complicate it by considering being dropped from the National team as "bayzddi" (insult).
