Irony : Can’t drop Axar the bowler for Kuldeep because our batsmen are worthless

[express bowling]

All players take some time to mature. And that time varies a bit from person-to-person. 

 

Gill's maturity as a batter has come in late 2022. After that he has been awesome in ODIs and T20Is.  Played just 3 tests and one of these has been on a very poor pitch. Has scored a century. 

 

I will assess his test match ability after 10 more tests.

Our 7-11 batsman scored 408 in ongoing series

Arey, drop Siraj and bring Kuldeep Yadav or SKY

[Moochad]

Saach mein: we can drop one of the batsmen and play Kuldeep and not lose many runs if any. Our bowling will be strengthened

Sky is a t20 batsman, he won't strengthen our test batting. 

 

I agree 100%

 

However I would rather have SKY than Pujara or Kohli.

Our past coach is no better. Look at this statement. What are the specialist batsmen for?

Stroking each other's ego, and the coach's

Another strong batting performance for Axar

[Gollum]

His batting has been the find of the series. Feeling good about the post Ash-Jaddu era.

 

The trio of Kuldeep, Axar, Sundar presents a formidable option for home tests. 

[Lord]

gonna miss Kuldeep here.

[Gollum]

Axar will also come good in white ball cricket, just give him some time. He will be a superior version of Jaddu in ODIs/T20s. Both him and Kuldeep should be backed there, please no Chahal. 

[tapandrun]

With all inconsistency and thoughtless selections, Axar has proved his worth in the series being best batter from Ind side.

 

Other star batters have to reflect too much on their performance, but when 17 runs are good enough then you kind of think nothing is going to change

Axar's challenge is conditions not format

 

He'll be great in all formats in Asia+WI. but has been poor in SENA.

 

Would be difficult for him to replicate Jaddu in SENA especially Tests.

[Need4Speed]

lets just think Axar is playing as a batter..and appreciate his batting performances..

may be he will himself work towards getting stronger as a batsman and keep bowling as a secondary skill..being a left handed bat is a bonus..

he will have to work a lot to bat well in SENA..lets see..
