Playing XI for first test vs Bangladesh

[Number]

Rahul (captain)

Gill

Pujara

Kohli

Shreyas

Pant

Axar Patel/Washington

Ashwin

Shardul

Siraj

Kuldeep Yadav

 

Preferring Axar over Washington as we already have Ashwin as an offie.

 

 

[express bowling]

1. Rahul

2. Easwaran

3. Gill

4. Kohli

5. Shreyas

6. Pant

7. Washington

8. Ashwin

9. Axar

10. Siraj

11. Umran ... get him in as replacement for Shami

 

....  We need to try young players like Umran and Easwaran against BD

....  Umran's pace was really troubling BD batters. And he will be even more dangerous if he gets reverse on low surfaces. Get him in for Shami.

.... Need 3 spinners in BD 

.... Need the pacers to be skiddy quick, ideal for low and slow surfaces.

I would prefer Umran too but at the moment he isn't in the squad. 

Bangladesh are good against finger spin. We need Kuldeep to play against them. He can be our attacking spinner for long term. Need to invest in him.

[Sooda]

My ideal 11, not from the squad , would be

 

Rahul

Sharma

Gill

Virat

Sarfaraz

Pant

Ashwin

Saurabh

Thakur

Sen

Siraj

 

[Majestic]

It will be Umesh instead of Shardul.

Unfortunately Sarfraz, Sen are not in the squad.

Sharma is as good as ruled out of tests here.

Thakur is not needed in the subcontinent, need another proper pacer instead.

[vvvslaxman]

India might very well lose their first test to BD if they go in with KL Rahul as captain

[nitinbwj]

I fear a spitting cobra pitch and fully expect our maharathis to get rolled over for 160-170.

[nitinbwj]

0-3 in ODIs and 0-2 in Tests would be the ultimate zalaalat for Dravid, KL and the team of frauds.

Yes ... but Shami is injured and has to be replaced.

Exactly !

 

Another mindless selection by the selectors.

[Serpico]

Will Pant continue his test form? Really need him to fire in this series

Expecting him to be in the playing XI. Even if he is huffing and puffing after 3 overs.

[singhvivek141]

Whom I like to see
Jaiswal
Easwaran

Whom I will see
KL Rahul
Shubman Gill
Pujara
Kohli
Iyer
Pant
Axar
Ashwin

Mukesh Kumar 

 

[rkt.india]

Mukesh Kumar may replace Shami as Sen is injured who had picked 8 wickets in Irani trophy.

Harsha Bhogle will prepare the speech on how a poor boy from the rural fields of GopalGanj in Bihar started his journey from playing gulli danda to red ball cricket for India.
How he has marked a new cricketing hub in the map of Indian Cricket and so on, while the rest of commentators will look at him with confusion as they've no idea why the hell he's speaking.

[dilliboy]

Saw Rahul as captain and already I am dreading watching any of this test match
