This also means it's over for Ashwin and Thakur because they cannot play in a balance where they can be trusted to bowl 10 overs each. So, India are down to 12 players. Ashwin can play on a turner Link to comment

SKY,Iyer etc need to start bowling in nets. Heard infact Gill and Kohli have started practicing bowling in the nets Lord 1 Link to comment

I rationalized it as trying to avoid a freak injury before the WC, then he does this, that too against bangladesh?! exactly. Was so dumb. Link to comment

Yes it boils down to that Very poor selection of 15 With Pandya you never risk taking players like Ashwin and Thakur Should have been Prasidh and Tilak Nikhil_cric 1 Link to comment

cricspirit Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Another way to think in a positive sense. Pandya absence let Shami in and Thakur out. That helped us beat both NZ and ENG. So, if Pandya is not there we can still win as long as we play our best and have confidence. Overall Pandya has done nothing this tournament. It will be good to have him back only if he is fully fit to bowl 5 or more overs. I said this before the world cup too. If he cant bowl, we dont need him as much as he does not inspire much confidence just with the bat. Will take both SKY and Kishan before him. express bowling 1 Link to comment

Naah, he has been decent with ball (better than Siraj) and broken partnerships. Batting not yet required but would have come in handy today. Obviously only back as an all rounder.

Agree he did decent with ball but we have won without anything substantial from him as an all rounder. So, not like we cant do without him. When he is not an all rounder and not bowling then he does not add balance and does not walk in just for batting. Plus his fielding and batting will be affected if he is not fit and cant move well. If fully FIT, he walks in or else should stay out to recover. Link to comment

Just because we are doing well w/o him doesn't mean we shouldn't have him. Provides immense balance. Never know when a match can be tough. Link to comment

Shami Bumrah as per reports is batting great in nets too and has been seen taking extra effort.. no wonder Shami was sent ahead of Kuldeep who has regressed badly in terms of batting ( remember him scoring vital few runs in dharmasala 4th test in 2017/18 and also against England in the last home series but somehow has losy his mojo.. looks a pale shadow).. lets hope they come good if needed.. As mentioned the results were partially to be seen today.. no chance in hell I thought we ll score 46 runs after losing 7 wickets or Kuldeep bumrah will have a partnership of 21 against mark wood n co cricspirit and AuxiliA 2 Link to comment

IndianRenegade Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Hope Pandya gets to play against SA: 1. He is getting back from an injury so he needs some game time before KOs 2. if I am not wrong he hasn't had to hold his bat in this WC, thats a long time for a batter to be not in touch. if comes off like KL did back from injury its great, but I am feeling nervous as to to his form if he is directly going to bat in a KO.

wanted_desi Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I doubt he will be back before semis. In semis he will replace Iyer as batsman but won’t bowl at all. Link to comment
Nikhil_cric Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 As per CI, Pandya is unlikely to be available before NED game. Lord 1 Link to comment
