Tracking the progress of the Young Indian Special batsmen ( Gill, Pant, Jaiswal, Shaw .... names will be added )

[Vijy]

shaw is not a special talent since he has even more chinks than sehwag. with that being said, he should at least be given a fair run in T20s and perhaps ODIs

gill at 3, pant (pure batter) at 4, sarfaraz at 5, sundar at 6 will be an excellent MO in future. here, I am assuming pant's keeping career is finished, but that he can make it back as pure batter.

 

if not, I would like Iyer at 4 in SC and someone else at 4 overseas.

Pant is not known as a good fielder in the outfield. Even when he debuted alongside Dhoni, his fielding efforts were mediocre.
That's one advantage that Ishan Kishan or Sanju Samson carry over him.
Pant is young and is a mentally tough kid, I really hope he bounces back from this setback stronger than ever.

being mentally tough is not sufficient to overcome certain physical injuries. many sportspeople, regardless of mental toughness, are never the same post major injury

I will be very surprised if Pant makes it back at the same level performance wise before the accident.

 

Very sad.

I don't see him making it at more than 80% (even as pure batter). as you wrote, it is truly sad.

Simon doull was absolutely right about gill being way superior than Shaw, a slightly higher backlight or longer flow of the bat made people think Shaw was special but he infact at times is a walking wicket, sad because this should have been sorted out by Mumbai coaches during his under age cricket period.

Gill started performing after 2 years, Shaw hasn't had that backing.

[express bowling]

Gill is going from strength to strength.

 

2 centuries in the last 2 IPL matches at high SRs  ... and he is hitting pacers for 6s for fun in the death overs. Hitting 6s earlier too. 

[express bowling]

Jaiswal has matured and added a lot of power. Hitting big 6s easily now. Hitting high pace too. 

 

He has the run machine mentality and great hunger for runs.

 

Needs to play for India ASAP

This was found out even in under-19 days. We could spot the looseness in Shaw's strokeplay even back then. Where as Gill had great sense of length and played accordingly.

What Gill lacked those days was power in his shots...while Shaw was ultra aggressive.

Gill was a calm head whil Shaw was fire vs fire. Naturally people like thrill, plus he was from Mumbai so that helped.

One of the best T20 innings I have ever seen. That too in a crucial knockout match.

 

129 off just 60 balls with 10 freaking 6s. 

 

Gill is special.

It is not easy to find classical batsmen with awesome power.  Classical batters who can hit 6s for fun.

 

Gill  is one of them.  

 

Loving his T20 batting !!

Very impressive.  Displayed awesome power, ability to hit on the up, ability to hit 145 k balls and big match temperament.

 

Tilak is Team India material.

High time these two open for India in t20's. Enough of Rohit and Kohli.

Bro, Jaiswal should be tried in ODIs is too. 

 

Rohit won't relinquish his opening spot as he is the captain but Jaiswal can bat at 4 as Shreyas is injured.

His knock vs aus in gabba alone is better than any match winning knock coolie has produced.

[prudent_kreeda]

1. Gill & Jaiswal  as openers 

2. Tilak at #3

4. Surya at # 4 

5. ???

 

 

Looks almost settled for short format in future .

So happy 3 of my punts on batsmen making BIG is coming through. well - Gill, Jaiswal & Tilak.

Need another U21 for MO to come through .Not yet found the right kid to punt on.    

 

[Nikhil_cric]

If Gill and Jaiswal don't open for India in T20 cricket ASAP and in 50 overs after the World Cup, the Indian team should be boycotted by all and sundry. 

 

Currently,  these 2 are miles ahead of the rest and no excuse is good enough not to give them 20 matches on the trot.
