Lord Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 Just now, maniac said: Will be among these 4:Rahul, Iyer, Pant, Gill Iyer and Rahul will also be candidates for Odi captaincy. T20 belongs to Pandya atleast till next to WT20s on topic: it looks more like a t20 team kind of Pakistan picks Sai Sudarshan and Rinku should be in the mix in ODIs though as they have stellar averages in List A. Not sold ok Gaikwad. Jasiwal is for the long haul. Iyer looks to be best option in terms of attitude. But his own performance specially in SENA is uncertain. maniac 1

Not sold ok Gaikwad. The next ODI world cup is in 2027 so cricket will be more T20 focused now. 3-4 years also allows new players to get their games right for ODIs. Also since the next WC is in SA, the ability to play pace and bounce becomes important. Yeah, Sai Sudarshan can be a good pick for ODIs.

Ganguly, Inzi, Jayawardena, Dhoni lot of good captains who were amazing in sc but average overseas. As long as he does enough, he can mask those numbers till form totally abandons him. Captains Mumbai and also has IPL captaincy experience. His captaincy doesn’t excite me tbh but there aren’t too many options. Pandya is good for T20 though. Lord 1

His ability to command respect from teammates is questionable with that weakness against pace and bounce. Gill is better choice
The Realist Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 F no to Pandya Representative of the current loser generation. Goes missing on every big occasion and gets injured breaking wind. Need to build under a younger, dynamic player who does not come with baggage of failure. SRT100 1

In sports, there is nothing like a loser generation. It is how you learn from failures and come back that counts. For e.g. Messi (and ARG) won a WC after decades. In sports (or business), failure can be a step to success. Pandya is one of the shining performers in the crunch games (CT final, T20 WC SF, etc.), and he has seen failures and learned from that experience. His captaincy, including the backing of players, is widely appreciated. He can be an instinctive captain who can change plans per the situation rather than wait for things to go from bad to worse.

I can understand the apprehension against SKY but he is a vital component in T20s, which is where the focus will be over the next few years. By the time the next ODI WC comes (2027 SA), he could be in the form of his life (has no major issues against pace, bounce, or spin). He plays free-flowing cricket for the team (not milestones). If he is struggling in ODIs, the team can go with someone like a Sudarshan if he continues to develop his game. This World Cup is like a sunk cost.

How about trying someone like Sudarshan at #3 if he shows good improvement in his game? I know he can be a slow starter in T20s. Other options include Abhishek, Sundar, Tilak, etc. Edited November 19, 2023 by zen
Sooda Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) The time for SKY has passed unfortunately Shami, Virat, Rohit and Jadeja... farewell from LOIs Iyers short ball weakness is getting better, he shows great middle overs intent, and ODIs are KLs best format he too has been good. In terms of skill and technique he is miles ahead SKY and other newbies. We should retain perspective: world cup finalists unbeaten till the final. As disappointing as this is , and as poor as we were on the day, no reason to make change for changes sake Gill, KL, Iyer and Hardik can remain the core of the ODI batting. For the ODIs in South Africa: Gill Kishan (big call but he can take over Rohits role as PP intent machine, and be wk) Jaiswal KL Iyer Hardik Sundar Axar Prasidh Sen Kaverappa Tilak, Gaekwad, Jitesh?/Prabsimran?, Mayank Yadav, Kuldeep For the meaningless waste of time t20 series vs Aus *next week* Gaekwad Kishan Jaiswal Patidar Tilak Rinku Axar Atit Sheth (?)

Ultimate_Game Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 I would go with the following team. Enough of serial losers such as KL Rahul and the oldies. 3 pacers in Bumrah, Harshit (or Kuldip) and Panday, 3 spinners in Bishnoi, Parag, and Jaiswal. If need more spin option, maybe swap Riyan with a specialist spinner but I would prefer with a deep lineup where couple of folks can roll their arm over. It's not as if our specialist spinners have been winning us matches anyway. T20 team: Jaiswal Gill (or Ruturaj) Tilak Varma SKY Rinku Singh Pandya (C) Riyan Parag Jitesh Sharma (WK) Bishnoi Bumrah Harshit Rana (or Kuldip Sen) In the squad: Sai Sudarshan Pick 2 form Pacers from the latest IPL Pick a form spinner from the latest IPL to support Bishnoi

If SKY plays it has to be as finisher but I don't think he should play ODIs anymore zen and Lord 1 1

Yup. The previous gen with likes of Dhoni, Gambhir, Raina and Yuvraj (before they went down the hill by 2014) were as clutch as they come. Won 3 tourneys from 2007 - 2013, and that too with likes of Nehra, Munaf, Sreesanth, RP Singh, and Zaheer as bowlers. And here we can't win anything even with the "best bowling lineup in our history". Wish we had the 2007-2013 team with today's bowling lineup, we would've f**kn won everything!
Frustrated Posted November 20, 2023 Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) How can Pandya lead a team in any format if he himself remains injured 6-9 months in a year? Edited November 20, 2023 by Frustrated Ultimate_Game 1
Frustrated Posted November 20, 2023 Posted November 20, 2023 Pandya is the only t20 captain in our history to lose a bilateral series to a team which failed to qualify for T20 WC. On top of that he remains injured despite being cotton wrapped by the TM for most part of the year. Easily the worst possible choice for a captain. raki05 1
