Would India have discovered Pant under Rohit the captain and Dravid the coach?

[QuarantineTormentino]

So far Dravid and Rohit have been horrible in terms of team selection and player backing (albeit with a lot of help from the selectors)

 

so far we’ve seen:

 

 Dhawan unfairly being persisted with over Gill/Shaw

 

KL/Rohit being unfairly persisted with in T20is over Shaw

 

 Chahal being unfairly persisted with over Bishnoi

 

DK being unfairly persisted with over Pant/Kishan/Samson 

 

Pujara being unfairly persisted with over Sarfaraz 

 

notice a pattern? I’m sure if Dravid were coach we would have seen Saha still playing for India today with Pant wasting his talent away on the bench

The way India has treated Pant is nothing short of disgraceful.

 

In a good positive team environment, he should have been clear heir apparent to Dhoni.

 

Yes I agree with the Saha comment. Wasnt Pant only included in Australia because Saha got injured?

[SRT100]

I mean to be publicly ridiculed about his weight, is disgraceful.

 

Meanwhile Hitman is pregnant and carrying his unborn child in his belly in every T20 match.

Your post is far from reality-

 

• Gill is ahead as an opener. He only played under this management actually. Was brought back after long.

 

• Rohit is as powerful as anybody. Dropping him is unrealistic.

 

• Chahal over Bishnoi was s 50/50. In hindsight it looks easy.

 

• Both Pant and DK failed. Samson shoud have got more chances.

 

• Sarfaraz is wronged. But Pujara is coming after a big county season. And don't forget he was dropped once.

Ravi or Rahul we find players accidentally more than with any planning. Sundar, Thakur, Arshdeep were all accidental discoveries because some players were injured. Axar patel himself found his spot only after Ravi jadeja got injured.  Injuries are our savior.

We found out Siraj as well, courtesy of injuries...else he would have played an odd T20 here and there, then dropped coz of poor performance.

A fully discovered and established Pant has been benched by this TM for a couple of no-show seniors. Do you think they would have "discovered" him? This seniority disease is too deep rooted and not limited to the Kohli regime as I had originally thought.

At this rate when they get rid of Karthik, they might ask Dhoni to come out of retirement.

 

Dravid probably wants Nayan Mongia, only a 15 year age gap.

Pant needs to rework on his game. He is getting carried away after his early test success.

Do you think he can do that by sitting on bench ? Moreso, he isn't doing very badly. Avg 25, S/R 136 this year when half of the time he doesn't even know what position he will get to bat. 

To take his game to next level he should be given game time and person playing ahead of him DK is bang average as he has been his whole career.

Not fair to put muck on Dravid for each & every thing though i do not like Pant being on bench in this WC because DK looks even poor right now . Not sure how much dravid's role in that .

It was Dravid who had given a very positive report to selectors in 2018 itself  when playing for A team in England  to be included in Test team.

Please find what Chairman of selectors of that time (Andhra guy) had mentioned re: selection of Pant to test team and inputs from Dravid A coach at that time. 

I have no doubt even Gill will get full backing from Dravid & Rohit as well as even Shaw (if he improves fitness & fielding) .

It is shameful to see Shaw & Sarfraz in SMAT  even when they are very near to selection. The blame needs to be on those players too.
