Seal the T20 #4 spot, Tilak Varma. Here's to many years of rousing success!!

[BacktoCricaddict]

He has shown ability and maturity beyond his years.  At long last, a victory for the selectors.  Hope this shuts the door on KLR in T20s.

 

Now, just get Jaiswal cracking at opener and Rinku Singh in as a finisher at #6. Mogambo khush.

[vvvslaxman]

Hope him and Jaiswal focus on a bit of bowling too unlike our trimurthis.

[Sooda]

I know there was a series to be won but we should have tried his offspin in these matches too , with a view to seeing if he could be a late wild card World Cup selection 

[Sgattick10]

I haven't seen him in IPL but in this series he has been the stand out for me.. He has the jigra to go for big runs at the begining of his innings 

[Frustrated]

Excellent start to his career.  Hopefully, he could be the light at the end of the tunnel for us. (By sealing the No.4 slot in Odi). Probably the only takeaway from this tour of windies.

Kohli and Rohit want spotlight for themselves, you guys seriously think they will be happy with emergence of Jasiwal and Tilak? Expecting sabotage.

Nah they know they're done for and that the end is near. Rohit is definitely a gonner after the world cup and looking at Kohli's recent interviews, won't be surprised if even he calls it a day.

Jaiswal used to bowl decent leggies in U19 days...  Wonder what is Dravid smoking that he didn't even try him in those Test matches. 

[tweaker]

This team management is known to screw young players.Rahul Dravid was a u 19 and A team coach He knows most of this young players. 

He should have been instrumental in phasing out seniors and helping young players to find their spots in the main team.

 

Jaiswal,Rinku,Sarfaraz,Patidar,Ruturaj ,Bishnoi,Sen,Imran,Tyagi should have been part of the squad.

Rohit*

 

I don't think any coach plans to use a part timer. Has to be onfield call

[gakgupta]

I am super excited about this guy ...

 

Wow..that cover drive was just incredible ... Treat to the eye..

kohli ,rohit, sarfaraz, jaiswal, etc all used to bowl in U19. now most/all of them don't

[Lord]

Bigger tests await him. Won't be too excited just yet.

 

However good to see new guys. Should try Rinku,Sai Sudarshan and Jitesh too.

should try Dhull in MO as well. other genuine contender.

Dhull looks more suited to Tests. Don't think he has the range of shots for LOIs yet.

no, his game is too loose for tests and too slow for T20s. he is well suited for ODIs. has good strike rotation, and can score at near-100 SR without too many risks. even vs Pak A, he was one of the few who kept his head

Modern ODIs require either power or range. He can at best be accumulator in middle over. For that spot, I want someone who can bowl.

he is, for me, more of a kohli or iyer replacement (which Gill may also be). I would still keep him in the mix for the no. 4 position. the no. 4 position does not have to bowl.
