Yes. The other option would be Santner who would factor for Ali but he is a bowling allrounder. They prove that sometimes having just enough overseas options is better than having too many overseas options which teams like SRH etc suffer from.
Nikhil_cric Posted April 23, 2023 Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) Has Rahane worked with a hitting coach before this IPL? Where was this Rahane for India in the last 7 years when his batting reeked of timidity? Edited April 23, 2023 by Nikhil_cric maniac 1

Santner is more of a back up option atm as CSK has Jadeja to too.
bowl_out Posted April 23, 2023 Posted April 23, 2023 Looks like CSK has just tried to keep their 2021 winning side combination again Gaikwad Conway (earlier it was Faf) Rahane (earlier it was Uthappa) Rayudu Ali Jadeja Dhoni Dube as a floater

Where was this Rahabe for the last 7 years where his batting reeked of timidity. Rahane was never timid. He would just get stuck in a rut. However if he comes back in on basis of this performance he will go back to square 1 in internationals
bowl_out Posted April 23, 2023 Posted April 23, 2023 With Shreyas Iyer injured, Rahane might come back as the No.4 for the WC... which doesn't sound too bad given his form

Seen it many times before from “veteran” IPL performers
maniac Posted April 23, 2023 Author Posted April 23, 2023 Why do people leave Umesh, Shami etc for the death. Their best shot is to run though line ups with the new ball. They bowl at the right pace in the right test match length slot at the death.

Rahane at 4 and KL at 5 as the keeper.

bowl_out Posted April 23, 2023 Posted April 23, 2023 This David Wiese seems such a waste of an overseas spot. Whatever happened to Fergusson Or just play Litton Das and get an Indian bowler. He won't do worse than Wiese
zen Posted April 23, 2023 Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) Amdavad, Banglore, Chennai, Gauhati, Hyderabad, Kolkatta, & Mumbai are basically get 190-210+ (unless and until the pitches get tired) if batting first venues … Need to see how Dharamsala’s pitch plays out Edited April 23, 2023 by zen

maniac Posted April 23, 2023 Author Posted April 23, 2023 Dubeji got the power but he only has a couple of zones he connects with. Not much of a range: also what happened to his bowling? Don’t remember when he bowled last Texan 1
maniac Posted April 23, 2023 Author Posted April 23, 2023 200+ is impossible against Dhoniconda @velu velu 1
abc Posted April 23, 2023 Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) "How ironic the keeper and bowler are communicating in Tamil against the team from Tamil Nadu. That would be like the Welsh Fire playing London Spirit and the London team bowler and spinner chatting in Welsh to confound the opposition." (stolen from Cricinfo) Admittedly, the safest language to discuss tactics when playing against KKR in is Bengali (especially now that Litton Das is not in the playing XI). Also ironic that the only Bengali-speaking player capped by KKR in recent times is an overseas player. Edited April 23, 2023 by abc
