Sorry he dosen't belong in international cricket. Few lusty blows on a flat deck against hapless bowlers means nothing.

 

Proper Hack

our super stars struggle to hit Sodhi and Santner. Tripathi made runs where it mattered the most.

[Chakdephatte]

Whenever he scores it releases pressure on Suryakumar Yadav. These two at 3 and 4 makes us such a great unit to watch.

Tripathi maybe a hack, but he has the game for T20's. Secondly him being at the other end ensures that SKY won't have to do all the heavy lifting alone.
Include Shaw at the top, with Tripathi at 3 and SKY at 4, you're gonna get as explosive batting order as you can have.

Yep.  It's better to hv hacks in this format rather than accumulators.

Yes intent matters. Look at Ishan even though he can go for big shots and has ability but he tried to play selfish meek shot like kela. He did Sam during last ipl. Sky, tripathi is great mo we need Riyan in place of Hooda and if somehow we can accomodate Shaw as he is also a batsmen full with intent.

He completel threw their bowling off , after that lapped 6 against Ferguson. It is like having 2 SKY. Even if one SKY clicks we are in good psition. Need one more SKY type players. Probability of all 3 failing is less. That is supposed to be Kishan's role.

Shaw

Gill

Tripathi

SKY

Riyan

Jitesh

Tewatia

 

high intent lineup with one anchor who can accelerate later.

 

We'll lose some matches with this too but that we do anyway.

England always does that. They lose on tricky surfaces. More often than not it works for them as we mostly play on good true wickets.

You dont need gavaskar playing T20. who ever shows intent and plays fearless cricket should be in team. no consolidators at all.

Yup picking side for occasional helpful condtiions is a recipe for certain disaster.

It just looks like someone if forcing him to be in pictures, and he hates it.

True.  But the pessimist in me is whispering that ... we will invariably get bowler-friendly conditions for T20WC knockout, and people will be like: "see ... I told you we need the anti-SR top-order."
