Gavaskar wants Rohit to drop Bharat, picks KL Rahul as Keeper for WTC Final

[Vijy]

bharatha's keeping has not been as good as I'd hoped for. hence, might as well as go with a non-regular keeper for WTC if he can bat

'In just 4 Tests, they knew Bharat wasn't good? These ex-cricketers should first...': Gambhir flattens Gavaskar, Shastri

Gambhir blasted the theory as he questioned the logic behind picking a part-time wicketkeeper for such a crucial match to be staged in England, where he strongly believes that wicketkeeping is not an easy task.

 

Speaking to Sports Tak, Gambhir blasted the theory as he questioned the logic behind picking a part-time wicketkeeper for such a crucial match to be staged in England, where he strongly believes that wicketkeeping is not an easy task. He also questioned logic behind judging Bharat as a not a good option for the WTC final after just four matches where most other top batters failed to perform.

“They came to know in just 4 matches that KS Bharat is not a good wicketkeeper? And in those four matches some of the big batters also failed to score runs. They are questioning his batting and wicketkeeping in just four matches? These ex-cricketers who are questioning and doubting his abilities should first take a look at themselves as how long they had flopped and how big a run had they gotten. In Test cricket, you should always go with a proper keeper. If KL Rahul is to be picked for the WTC final, it must be purely on the basis of his batting. England is not an easy place where you pick a part-time wicketkepeer. These ex-cricketers should know how important wicketkeeping is and one missed chance can change the entire match,” he said.

4 matches are too many to find out keeping skills. His collection, footwork, gathering everything is ordinary. I don't disagree Part time keeping is not an option. But Bharat himself is one level below part time keeping.

Why Rahul, why not Ishan Kishen?

Our selection is all over the place. Remember when this dude scored 200 in ODI and was dropped the next match? Like bro, who comes up with these decisions? 

[Throwaib_Chuckter]

KLR pulls out of a game with a thigh injury and cricket mafia heads are already campaigning for his return as a keeper.

Whether Bakwaskar is senile or dodgy is up for debate but this is unbelievable.

Truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

1 thing u can say about Gambhir, he always speaks his mind. Always. Doesn't care who he's slagging off. A senior cricketer or a teammate lol. No one is spared. And i don't think he has ever said anything unreasonable when it comes to cricket. 

[RajBan]

Gambhir is on point. Bharat may not be the best of keeper but KL is not an option. 

 

Kishan is also not an option. His keeping is worse than Bharat and there is no indication his batting style will work when the ball does something.

KL Rahul is recovering well and preparing well  for his next assignment
