Prabhdeep Singh Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 India with great difficulty finally managed to drop A Rahane after many years of failure, time has come for both Pujara & KL to be dropped. Rahane - Last 19 Tests average of 24, career average of 38 Pujara - Last 25 Tests average of 29, career average of 43 KL - Last 26 Tests average of 26, career average of 33 Players like S Dhawan, M Vijay & M Agarwal have not been backed the same way, all these 3 players were/are very good players of spin and home conditions: S Dhawan career average of 40 M Vijay career average of 38 M Agarwal career average of 41 From 3rd Test try the following top 6: Rohit (C) Agarwal/Shaw Gill Kohli S Iyer S Samson/I Kishan (WK) express bowling and raki05 1 1 Link to comment
Lone Wolf Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 After watching Gujara I am sympathetic towards Rahul. At least he has some ability still left. Meek depressed attitude & aspiration to look like a Model seems to have messed with his brain. Gujara would destroy all of his legacy when he goes.... Such a shame. He probably wants a WTC final in his kitty. But as long as he is there we won't win it. He can be a Kathakali coach though. raki05 1 Link to comment
neel roy Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 The only reason india is backing kl rahul is because of all batsmen in team he is probably the one who can play swing well. Gill was exposed in engalnd and saf. He plays away from body. The other opener is mayank who is also circumspect. He is being carried only for that reason. Biggest issue in indian team is nobody plays domestic cricket. You cannot replicate ranji pitches turners in practice sessions.. sarfaraz easwaran will anyday play spin better than top 5 of india.. rollingstoned and Chakdephatte 1 1 Link to comment
Nikola Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 With pujara you never know he plays some innings which turns the match and happens regularly against australia. Also considering this is his 100th test he won't be dropped after this directly for sure. So he gets whole series unless he really gets out cheaply in next 3 innings. Link to comment
Need4Speed Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 These players plays extremely defensive cricket..it takes over their mind..and they go into a shell..most times they will fail..with that mindset.. raki05 and express bowling 1 1 Link to comment
wanted_desi Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I am willing to take this test match loss for greater good: Dropping KL and Pujara Jasiwal replaces KL and Gill replacing Pujara. Hopefully Kohli goes after this series too. SRT100 and raki05 2 Link to comment

vvvslaxman Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Pujara last 3 years at home. You can clearly see a pattern. Look at the bowlers he got out to. Link to comment

The guy is shitting his pants and at the same time pissing in them, each time he faces a bowler. Its beyond disgraceful how he has been kept in. Im genuinely worried his miracle catch will be used to give him "one last chance". express bowling 1 Link to comment

RajBan Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 The bigger structural worry is why is KL still getting selected inspite of that kind of form for last several years. Questions need to be asked of Team Management and selectors of why they are filling to give chances to players who actually deserve it? Link to comment

I have consistently said it on here ad nauseum, India would be in a far superior position if we batted Jaddu at 3 and Ashwin at 4. Thats how pathetic our batsmen have been for years. raki05 1 Link to comment
