2023 World Cup line up as of now

My preferred XI only for home conditions of 2023 WC although it will never happen:

 

1. Gill [not happy with his tendency to tuk-tuk though]

2. Pant/SKY

3. Brat for now [if out of form, replace with someone else like Iyer]

4. Shreyas/KL

5. Sundar

6. SKY/Samson

7. Pandu

8. Axar/Jaddu/Shahbaz

9. Boomrah

10. Prasidh

11. siraj/kuldeep sen/kuldeep yadav

 

this lineup checks many of the boxes that I deem necessary:

a. 1 consolidator + 1 out-and-out aggressive batter in the opening

b. no. 3 is a consolidator, but can be moved down the order if quick runs are needed

c. middle order of nos. 4-7 can play spin well (in general), can adjust tempo as per situation

d. batting till 8, with even no. 9 not a complete mug with the bat

e. 3 genuine quicks in boom, prasidh and siraj/sen

f. 6 genuine bowling options + part-timer in Iyer

 

@express bowling @SRT100 thoughts?

 

50 overs is just too long a format.

Definitely agree we need 6 bowling options no matter what.

 

Using yours as a template I would go with

 

1. Gill

2. SKY

3. Kohli

4. Shreyas

5. Pant

6. Sundar

7. Pandya

8. Jaddu

9. Bumrah

10. Prasidh

11. Siraj

 

We bat till 8 and thats the best we will ever be able to achieve with the current players.

 

The order is debatable but SKY and Kohli need to bat the max amount of balls possible, so they need to be either 1,2,3.

 

With Iyer and Pant at 4,5 they can go hard for the spinners too.

I couldn't find Rahul, Dhawan and Rohit in this list. Did they got retired?

Unfortunately, there is no line up yet I.e. one that can “impress”

INdia needs game breakers should i say players with X factors. They have to give SKY a run before binning him. He can be your game breaker.  When guys like Harry Brooks can elevate his game to play tests why not SKY. He just has to put his mind to it.  Your team need X factor players not predictable players.

India needs a leg spinner for sure. Some gora teams have this weakness against leg spin. During the brief period when India dominated LOI was when Kulcha were bowling middle overs.  Now we are going back to finger spinners to accommodate all rounders. Finger spinners especially off spinners are becoming extinct.

 

Scientist touched on this subject 4 years back when he lost his place

Dhawan bhai is the only senior i think will be dropped.

[SRT100]

Kishan now scored more runs today than Dhawan's last 10 ODI innings.

If Kishan does not get a chance even now as an opener, we should stop watching Indian cricket.
