Hardik if he plays will bat ahead of Rinku. Thats not ideal.

 

Bishnoi can replace Mukesh

Hardik need to be given hitter role not consolidator..as Rinku being left hander is better at higher position too..

I like Bishnoi but not sure if TM will pick him with Kuldeep..and risk two wrist spinners..and KD is chinamine,Bishnoi is primarily googly bowler..so both turning same side haha..

though I always feel..you always go with best side..will need one finger spinner for better control..thats why Tilak need sto bowl as much as possible..Mumbai Indians should be given instructions haha..

kuldeep yadav should have been sent instead of arshdeep. Kuldeep at least can drop nudge n take a single. Anyways this match will be a 10 over match with 110 to chase i suppose

Nahi hoga match. Persistent heavy rain. Rinku the silver lining. Brilliant batting. 

[neel roy]

5 over target will be 78 i think

He's there in ODIs. Sabka saath sabka vikaas

Why is the question. There's a T20 World Cup coming up. Surely Axar needs to play in that? 

 

Axar is a better T20 player than ODI player

[nitinbwj]

Hardik has very limited shots against pacers. Rinku has a lot many and good placement skills something that our maharathis lack. Excellent temperament as well unlike Gill who plays a meaningful innings in 1 out of 10 matches ans celebrates like Mohammad Ali... BC. Nautanki, overhyped.

I was impressed by Tilaks attitude.. inspite of us being 6/2 he woent for his shots and that gave sky the confidence to go as well.. sky tilak rinku is must.. in middle order.. rest can fight it out.. 

Tilak is still very raw...  Will be a massive call to take him to WC.  He hasn't had much domestic experience either.  At least Jaiswal has some domestic & List A experience. 

Tilak needs these games though.  He will be gun within this year. 

[Nikhil_cric]

Unless Hardik bowls 4 overs, he should not play at all.

Axar is poor too tbh. We saw in WT20 2022. He does well in India mainly

 

I'd have picked Tewatia. Need batting at 7 more than bowling but for that top 6 need to have 2 bowling options too.

jaiswal should be bowling leg spin.. he bowled pretty well in the u19 wc.. no idea why tm doesnt give him few overs.. in windies test match he should have bowled..

Tilak should be asked to bowl. He can seal the spot with that.

That was in Australia . In the Caribbean, Axar is a better option than anyone else for that spin all rounder role 

[Lone Wolf]

Shortened game will keep SA in it...  It is a massive score in this ground in T20.

This is not a highveld venue so ball doesn't travels here.

 

That Rinku six over cow corner should be shot of the year for an Indian...  86m boundary...  He might have gone 100+ meters with ball gripping on the pitch lol

He'll come back straight in IPL. Hopefully remains fit through that.

From this moment on, I will never tease anyone for not being able to get the "zha" in Tamizh or Malayalam.

Today was a ideal pitch to bowl him..  Sadly won't get to bowl now...  Even in a shortened game.

Not sure of that. He cant bat vs pace which is what he'll get in slog overs.

 

Was very poor with bat in recent series too. Maybe can bat at 8.
