Ravi Ashwin is in the WC T20 team cos...

[Sgattick10]

He supported Rohit Sharma and spoke out against Virat Kohli after SA series? Which resulted in kohli's ouster as captain? Selected for loyalty rather then performance. Cos I can't think of any other reason. A tried and tested failure over the years in white ball cricket. 

What are your views? 

[Ankit_sharma03]

• cos he is the best defensive spinner in the country
• Very eco bowler in PP 
• His eco is better then bumrah in Australia 
• He can bat
• Variety 
• Can bowl in death too 
• Best option against lefties -
  SA has Dekock, Rossow, miller
  Pak has - Zaman, Nawaz , Khushdil 
• Experience

Economical and defensive bowler aren't winning us anything.

 

Bhuvi - Economical bowler

Arshdeep - Economical bowler 

Bumrah - Economical bowler, wicket taker in 1 game

Ashwin - Economical bowler

Yuzi - Wicket taker in 1 game , run leaker in rest

• On high scoring grounds u need economical bowlers
• We dont have rashid, khan or hasaranga whom also teams looks to just play them off now 
• Ultimately if no one is giving runs, batsman will have to throw wkts at some point 

Just for the sake of this logic u cant take guys with less value 

 

[LordPrabhzy]

seems like BCCI and Team Management are not taking tournaments seriously ( except IPL) with the bowler selections

[mani sha]

Cos sundar is injured. Or permanently Injured 

[Sgattick10]

Yes we all saw his great performance in CT 17

Same bhuvi kumar has been smashed to pieces in imp knockout matches. Yes I agree he is a bilateral bully. 

[Moochad]

Rohit has been backing him since he became captain. look for him in first 11

Same shami who is the bottom of list has been smashed in bilateral, imp knockouts and australia ................basically everywhere and anywhere. Your point is ?

Off spin, along w/ experience, quota esp. considering Sundar has been in out out due to injury/inconsistency … However, selectors could have been brave to go with Bishnoi, who bowls googlies. 

[Clarke]

Coz selectors are a bunch of babies who love their merry go round 

[Lord]

Ashwin is the right choice, but then that makes Hooda's selection pointless considering he isn't gonna bat in top 5

Where did I say Shami should be in T20 team? If you have to lose, lose with young guys who will learn something from these loses. These tried and tested failures learn nothing

[Khota]

He is doing better than other spinners.

He has experience.

Can't believe I am defending but the cupboard is that empty.

Lol we all saw best economical bowler Bhuvi chacha when itvreally mattered he has been thrashed in 2 crucial ko punch during Asia Cup and even dead rubbers tailender thrashed this economical moron.

[coffee_rules]

All phase 

[vvvslaxman]

Ashwin is on-field advisor  for Rohit :) Would have picked Bishnoi or a pace bowler.   I think India needs imaginary batting depth in the absence of Jaddu.  If only Tewatia had a bit better bowling ability would have been a good choice. Kuldeep is another option they completely ignored. it is  a compromising choice just like lot of other choices.  Bhuvi bowls harmless pies anyway. Not like cranking up at 150 kph. Why not spend some time in batting. Power hitting practice.  If Bhuvi or Arshdeep or Bumrah or Chahal were to be a reliable hitter India wouldn't have had to back Ashwin.

 

Ashwin reached his pinnacle in 2016. Then completely sidelined. So it is a very very dicey move.
