We don’t need any more changes for now I've lost all hope of strategic, substantive changes to team composition. Indian cricket has a problem of plenty, which can be a good problem if managed correctly. But then, am just a keyboard fan with a few years of gully cricket experience. Vijy, sandeep and Lord 1 2
maniac Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) I agree about Pant. Gill not so sure yet. Edited July 17, 2022 by maniac
Vijy Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 fat chance of top 3 being removed before 2027 WC. rollingstoned 1
R!TTER Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 KL should open as he has probably the best defense among top order right now, have literally anyone else open with him apart from thigh slapper!
Prabhdeep Singh Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) Main thing to consider is that World Cup will be in India. I believe the top 3 will be same, then all 3 will be dropped from ODI cricket whether India win or lose World Cup. Maybe Dhawan will be dropped earlier. Main thing should be that the number 8 should be able to bat and also the 2nd Spinner should be able to bat.

Nope. KL has issues with both temperament as well as left-arm swing. keep him in MO, where he can offer some useful stability. Ideally, we need a diff top 3 and our MO should consist of Rahul at 4, Pandu at 6.

Sean Bradley Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 Shaw in for Dhawan, Pant stays at number 5, Hooda at Number 3, Sky at 4. Kick both Delhi ke Laundes out.
SinNombre Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) Pant opening in ODIs is no-go. He has been a top middle order batsman since his role has felt more guaranteed. Drop Kohli, play SKY at 3 and KL at 4. Pant 5, Hardik 6. And we need a different opener (try Shaw or Ishan Kishan) to pair with Rohit at top for 2023 WC. Edited July 17, 2022 by SinNombre
rkt.india Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) Rohit is here to stay. Dhawan and Kohli needs to make way for now. Play guys like Rutu and Gill/Padikkal Edited July 17, 2022 by rkt.india

R!TTER Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 Brat isn't going anywhere, just get this out of your head. The only way he cane be dropped is he scores only ducks for about the next 6 months

Pollack Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 7 minutes ago, sarchasm said: Pant as ODI/T20 opener is the kind of garbage idea for which you should lose the license to watch cricket, much less hold on opinion over it. The fact that Indian TM actually made him open confirmed my theory that they are unthinking zombies and beneath contempt. Shame on Dravid and shame on Rohit. Get this - Pant is made for making difficult runs when the team is in strife. Play him at 4/5 and he'll make you re-live and then forget about the so-called Dhoni era. No he is not made for 4/5 in LOIs but he is some talent and he will surely adapt. Wouldn't mind him opening in t20s. We have many specialist openers for ODIs. Shaw, Jaiswal, gaikwad can be future. No need to open him in ODIs. sarchasm 1

I just gave my opinion. You don't have to be salty and hold on to "one thing". Don't tag @express bowling unlike you he is a sensible poster. Ravi_Shastri and Vijy 2
Norman Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 So after years and years of mediocrities we finally have a decent middle order and now you want Pant to open? Satiya gaye ho kya? Let guys who are supposed to open, open.... like Gill, Shaw, Jaiswal Or whatever. We have zillions of top order options. Frustrated, Vijy and AuxiliA 1 2
