NO  !!

 

Apart from.Bumrah snd Pandya, no other player in this squad gives me confidence.

Sad to see such an experienced professional set up pick such a squad (looking in the rear view mirror rather than ahead) esp. when Ind not only had the options but also the opportunity to develop the talents.

Team can always be tweaked.
 

For the 2nd opener, it is among Pant, Samson, & KL, along with any other viable option. I like KL’s talent (and his back foot game too) so if he is batting like he did in the last T20, I would consider him too. 

 

 

In yesterday's game, he again played a slow match losing knock on that pitch. Look at what Green did in contrast as opener, scored at 207 strike rate while Wade strike at 214.

 

Here, SKY and Pandya both scored at much higher rate than KL did. Actually SKY inning was faster than KL but when media talk they say, India reach 209 thanks to Pandya and KL performances which is absurd. It should have been thanks to Pandya and SKy performance.

Needs to be a case study on how the likes of harshal and Deepak chahar are able to put in consistent performances in the ipl with no real apparent skill or ability, if such sub standard bowlers are doing well then there must be something wrong with the wickets.

Yeah, the other two were better knocks … Current Indian openers are not free stroking enough to bat like Green. Y’day, in a relative comparison, I would give KL a benefit of doubt as Ind lost 2 wkts (those two wasted balls too). 
 

As I said for the 2nd opener, it is among Pant (left hander, can handle pressure), Samson (free stroking) or KL (well rounded  overall game, however can crack under pressure) or any other equivalent in form batsman (Shaw for e.g. but a poor fielder)

Team I'd like after the WC

 

Shaw

Jaiswal

Samson/Hooda

SKY

Pant

Hardik (C)

Tewatia

Chahar

Bishnoi

Mohsin

Umran/Arshdeep

 

 

Other options

 

Kishan

Venky Iyer

Kuldeep Yadav

Mavi

 

The team might lose initially but we are doing it anyways. It is full of fearless batsmen with good batting depth and enough wicket takers

 

 

[Need4Speed]

I like India's world cup squad very much..the bowlers will get spanked a lot..we will get 1st round exit..and it will allow us to move on..from them..for new approach..Haha..

The only challenge I would say to this statement which is 100% accurate, is that I may include Pant.

 

Pant in Australia is very a different beast.

 

The irony is that he might not even get a chance to play.

@express bowling

 

 

Could you name a 2nd XI team that you think would beat the current WC Indian team XI in a best of 3 series?

 

 

[cowboysfan]

for australian pitches we have a good squad .lets face it our team is full of FTBs starting from the captain.

T20 games being played in Australia ....

 

1st 11 ....

 

1. Rohit

2. Rahul

3. Kohli

4. SKY

5. Hardik

6. DK

7. Axar

8. Harshal

9. Bhuvi

10. Bumrah

11. Chahal

 

2nd 11 ....

 

1. Shaw

2. Gill

3. Samson

4. Hooda

5. Pant

6. Jadeja

7. Shardul

8. Mohsin 

9. Bishnoi

10. Tyagi 

11. Siraj

 

.... Mohsin and Siraj will take care of PP 

.... Mohsin, Tyagi and Siraj all bowl well at the death

.... 2 hit the deck tall pacers and 3 quick pacers overall 

... 7 bowling options including 4 pacers

... Dashing opener in Shaw

... Mohsin can hit big at the end

 

 

... Many of these players would have performed better if they were groomed in low key bilaterals 

... There are no players like Bumrah and Hardik in the 2nd 11

[BacktoCricaddict]

If, in every innings, any two of RGS, VK, SKY and HHP can fire, with ARP and DK chipping in when needed, I feel the batting will be fine.  Bowling?  Scary to think how that will go.

Batting, yes.  Bowling?  Still underwhelming.

agree.if we lose matches its due to our bowling.its shocking our bowlers have not learned how to bowl on flat wickets playing in the IPL for so many years.

[tweaker]

As the team has been finalised there is no realistic chance of any change.They should make the optimum use of the players they have.

 

The batting especially top 3 should take more responsibility

 

Surya ,Hardik and Karthik should be more consistent. They should up their game when top 3 fails.

 

Axar and Ashwin should be the spin twins and their batting is added bonus.

 

Bumrah ,Arshdeep should be the fast bowlers.As there is no one in the squad ,Bhubaneshwar could be third pacer.

Rohit should not bowl him in the death.

Hardik and DK's batting position should be interchangeable depending on which batsman they are going to join and who the bowlers are.

Thanks for that. Bowling is definitely a weapon. 1,2,3 definitely would be attacking during  the PP.

 

I wish in an alternate reality if India could field a 2nd XI like the one you proposed for the WC.

 

Imagine them winning it?

 

Imagine how stupid it would make the TM and BCCI and India by the rest of the world.

Difficult to visualize a team with Rohit, Kohli, KL, Bhuvi, & Ashwin as a T20 team  

 

Their Next target - a 2023 WC exit

Absolutely not ,the spin and pace bowling concerns me ,the top 3 concerns me ,the inconsistent hitting by the lower middle order,fielding  also concerns me .

 

Tbh ,this team is a "Thakela" team with no X factor and to top that they don't show any passion or desire on field.

There are at least 4 more better teams than us who have stacked the team with t20 specialists and play the game as it is meant to be I.e entertaining!

We on the other hand are still playing players who are playing this format for 12 -13 years and other TTFs , having won nothing major in this format in intl arena .

It's a shame that the richest board with The largest resources and the biggest league is assembling such a mediocre team ,when the the field is already so weak with hardly 7-8 serious nations.

Damn ,this should have been today's rant lol
