During the 5th t20 vs windies, some posters were delighted to see Chahal getting pasted all over the park. (4 over 52/0) hoping that he would be dropped henceforth.  But there is report of only Sanju getting dropped.  Means collar chewer has retained his place (under Malnourished Quota).   He actually needed to concede min 1000 runs in 4 overs so as to lose his place. 

TM is itching to drop Kuldeep and make Chahal a guaranteed starter. Everybody loves the court jester.

- Talks about Tilak will happen

Chahal vs Bishnoi is going to be a debate. Bishnoi has played a grand total of one one day game. We don't know how he will go in longer format.Wish they had tested him a bit more. This experience is the reason why collar chewer can sneak in.

After a long time, we are entering an Asia Cup as clear Underdog (minnow).  Would be safe to assume that there is Zero expectation from all those indian fans who hv been following our team for a long time and are aware of the ground realities.    Reaching the Final itself could be an achievement.  Winning it (hypothetically saying) would seem like winning a WC.

Chahal has been failing in crucial matches like forever still getting picked in the name of experience

Ashwin too failed in CT17,next curtains to odi career,not advocating for Ashwin's inclusion (as we need future planning asap any step backwards will set us decades back)but drawing parallels

There is another report coming in that Ajit Agarkar does not want a 17 member squad. He is more keen on a 15 member squad.

 . At the age of 37, S Dhawan becomes the youngest and most talented batsman to be kicked out.  (As per that article).  Cricket Addictor is not an authentic site though.  It is just for fun.  There are tons of such sites which promote PR/propaganda on certain Eggxperienced players.  Better to ignore them...

Interesting to see Ashwin being floated as a option.  I'd take him over collar chewer in a heartbeat. 

In case we play a team like Eng in Lucknow...  ash + Kuldeep combo would be crucial.  Ash offers some batting too @Gollum

So KL Rahul once again slots right back in for an Asia Cup tournament after a long injury layoff. 

 

Now if or when he fails, peeps will say "he's just back from an injury" , and he "needs more time in the middle" and "he will find his form in the world cup" and so on and on and on.... 

 

Same exact thing happened last year.

Would even take him ahead of Jaddu/Axar. Jaddu can field as sub.
