Sai Sudarshan looks like a promising talent.   Hope I m not jinxing him.  

 

He will have his ups and downs. But we have to back potential and see how they grow as a player. Idea is to see the improvement even if it is smaller increments. 

[vvvslaxman]

I wish they had considered Pradosh as keeper instead of KS Bharat the goal keeper. To be honest i don't know how he keeps. If he is any good he should be the back up.

Sai is a good talent. Would put him above Gaikwad in the pecking order for LOI opening.

 

Pity he can't bowl though

I m already beginning to wonder if we could hv won the WC if Sai had played in place of Gill.   

We would have won if pant was there. They would pee in their pants if pant played. Pant sai and prasidh should have played. As much as trundler loving brigade talks about Mukesh bookish suk3sh and crap, tall bowler who can generate bounce will always be dangerous especially if he bowls around 135 to 140. Also siraj was out of form. Instead of siraj even thakur could have done the job for that particular pitch.

Also no rabada coetze, ngidi. 

We are also missing bumrah shami prasidh etc. This is our third string bowling attack vs their second? 

 

Lizard Williams would be innthe number 2 bracket along with burger but lizard dint play.

Gill is definitely not set in stone in any format.we all know he struggles against any kind of movement but now he is getting out playing across which should not happen for a player like him.

He is just not good enough. Needs to go back to domestics and play first class. Then build some form and come back. He should be a middle order bat but he has been poor so far vs spin.

I listened to his interview. He is very matured.

After the IPL final. That was a classy interview. Very mature

Wrong question. Gill at least fired in the SF, even Iyer played an ATG knock there. Real passengers were SKY, Siraj, Jadeja, heck even Kuldeep and Bumrah underwhelmed after a very good start.

Ashwin should force selectors to have a look at him for tests.   Maybe vs Eng at home.

People in social media see him as a #3. Lol on what basis

Gaekwad has Mumbai cricket mafia and CSK mafia backing.

Iyer is a necessary evil. He is the only counter attacker in our line up

Iyer did very well in the WC, 500 plus runs and with intent. Without his 67 ball 100 against NZ, selfish Kohli would have ensured we ended up with 320-330 and match would have followed same script as Ind vs SL in CT 2017 group game.

Rishabharjuna Pantatunga has a wood over Astraya  much like his role model who displayed it in Lahore 27 years ago

Mavericks are much needed in big big games

Kela like rudaalis always bring tears

If BCCI has made up its mind to have only Indian coaches in the future, hope Ashwin becomes head coach in 5 years time. Granted he is an overthinker, but in this age I would rather have an overthinker than a one tone underthinker, latter won't win us ICC titles, just the stale approach sans imagination will continue.

Indians got lucky, we'll settle matters next match. #ProteaFire

will Ashwin be ok to be a yes man to the superstar Captain? If BCCi doesnt curb the ego of captains,no point in having people like Kumble or Ashwin who will just be told to put up and shut up.
