How many of the current Pakistani batsman would get into Indian batting lineup in T20Is?

[Majestic]

A pretty honest and serious question this, how many of the current Pakistani batsman can displace any Indian batsman in T20s? This is considering the best XI of Indian side. 

 

Now, obviously Babar will walk into Indian team if it was ODI or Test XI and maybe Rizwan could make a case at 6 as keeper batsman( with Pant batting at 5 as pure batsman) but do they get into Indian T20 team?

 

Let's have a look at few stats for some of the major Pakistan batsman presently:-

 

Babar Azam AVG 44, S/R 129

Mohammad Rizwan AVG 50, S/R 127

Asif Ali AVG 17, SR 133

 

Now, let's look at Indian batsman stats:

 

Rohit AVG 31, SR 139

Rahul AVG 39, SR 140

Kohli AVG 50, SR 137

SKY AVG 39, SR 177

Pant AVG 23, SR 126

 

And then the all rounders,

Pandya AVG 23, SR 145

Jadeja AVG 24, SR 124

 

Would any of Babar/Rizwan or anyone down the order merit a place in India's best T20I team currently?

NONE

nope he wont, tell me whom will u drop from ODI for babar 

 

1. Rohit
2. Dhawan
3. Kohli 
4. Pant
5. KL
6. Jadeja 
7. Hardik 

[zen]

Rizwan & Zaman per form in the top 3 if replacing players in the current Asia Cup Squad ... Outside the Asia Cup squad, Ind has Gill, Samson, etc., who are expected to make it to the 11 

 

From the Asia Cup squad of both teams: 

 

Rizwan

Zaman (or Pant)

Hooda

SKY

SDP

DK 

Pant/Jadeja/... 

 

 

[Sooda]

If we can play Virat and Rahul, surely Babar is better on current form at least

Equally though on the bowling front- Jasprit aside : would BK, Harshal get into Pak team? BK maybe tbf

Babar is easily a better ODI bat than Dhawan, Rahul and Pant.

Bhuvi and Shaheen with new ball and Bumrah in death.

 

Between Shadab and Yuzi, I would go with Shadab.

Dhawan has been more impactful + leftie

KL number at 5 are freak level, babar cant compete him at that

Pant has just started + keeper + left hander who plays quick. After our top 3 u dont want babar to follow who bats even slower and has similar problems against spin like kohli 

[Norman]

Only Rizwan. 

 

Lol at Babar will walk into our team. KL or kohli can do exactly what he does at the top. That is to give those 50(40) starts irrespective of the nature of the wicket. 

 

Fakhar is way too hit or miss to play in our top3. 

[Norman]

Combined Indo-Pak T20 XI.. 

 

Rizwan

Rohit (c) 

SKY

Pant

Pandya

Jadeja

DK/Asif Ali

Nawaz

Shaheen

Bumrah

Bhuvi

 

[Ankit_sharma03]

Mine combine would be

 

1. KL
2. Rohit
3. Kohli
4. SKY
5. Pant
6. Hardik
7. Shadab
8. Bhuvi
9. Shaheen 
10. Rauf
11. Bumrah
    
    12th man - Dinesh Karthik 

 

• Shaheen - Bhuvi - Powerplay bowlers
• Rauf- Hardik -shadab middle phase
• Bumrah - Death over bowler

India's biggest weakness is finisher who could hit long ball. Do they have any big hitters , is Khushdil  good enough batsman.

[the don]

Forget India. Babar is easily the top 2,3 ODI/ Test bat.

[the don]

Also current version of Naseem is countrt miles better than avesh, prasidh etc.

I'd be okay with having a pure mind in the top order and a happy heart as a finisher.

KL. Middle order will be Babar-Kohli-Pant-Pandya. All better players of spin than KL, the primary requirement for this role.

How would Dhawan be more impactful with an average of 45 compared to Babar's 60? Yes, Babar has faced minnows more but still he is also much more consistent than Dhawan.

 

KL's sample at 5 is still low. India could easily have Babar at 4 and then Pant/KL competing for 5 spot because remember KL's spot was not even cemented till 2019 WC while Babar was ahead of him at that time.

he is not bad player of spin , just become tentative at times.............. thats mind issue not skill . 

he avg 56 with a s/r of 113 at no. 5 ..............with that record he can get in any side of world cricket . A lot of times u face fast bowling at death and he has power + range for it 

 

babar cannot produce that no. at 5 

 

[maniac]

Batting no one. In LOIs especially in T20’s would definitely like to have their phaaasht bowlers: Naseem,Dahani, Rauf and Shaheen anyday over Arshdeep (whom I like), Avesh, Harshal, Prasidh etc.
