They do have Patidar i think. Not sure why KL is playing. May be for Test practice.

Rinku patidarand sai should all play tests. Longer the format, better our players are.

[Number]

He is Tendulkar level wonderkid.

Sai looks more compact then even Gill

 

Should be added to Test squad immediately

I am afraid Gill will be exposed in SA,the pitches are not like Australia.there will be a lot of seam movement and he front foot plonking will not work.

KL pisses me off so much 

The star sports ads highlighting his performance against Aus in the opener make your blood boil. He is giving an acceptance speech for lord knows what.

KL's classic 20 from 60 balls loading.  

You guys are too harsh. I checked the score. Rahul was on 1Brought my coffee over and returned in 2 min. He had tripled it!! In 2 min!!

He is my least favourite cricketer. But bcco is obsessed with him. Not sure why? 

 

Someone here thinks he is marketable? 

 

I am not sure. How? Physique? Looks or style or ability lol? Where?

If sai played we wouldn't have lost to Aussies in the WC final

 

There I said it.

 

Also if rinks play3d

We missed pant in that match. Indian fans for all their rr don't use injury excuse that much. Padosis are bigging up a nobody like Naseem. 

[cowboysfan]

uneven bounce too,250 is a good score here.

in Chennai game? good knock but hardly ATG.

 

I can understand limited players batting this way but guy has all the shots still chooses to do tuk tuk

This type of pitch will help us differentiate between a mediocre/overrated batter like Varma and a future legend like Sai.   

Sai is like washy without the injury proneness fingers crossed. Similar talent. Obviously different positions. Washy being an AR with bowling ofocurse. They both have their strengths.

Spouting cliches and fist pumping as if he won the wc. It's not his fault actually but the channel that they big him up for just 1 game and make him look like Kapil dev. Lol. 

[rollingstoned]

Gill and SS will be a very pleasant pair to watch. Even if we lose it is like watching poetry when they bat.

At one point he was rated as highly as SS is now. Tbf to Rahul he is still quite compact which is why he made runs in England.

Pant

Rinku

I would say prasidh over siraj anyday given sirajs poor form plus he has steepling bounce. Head would have been troubled badly against prasidh. He will test him alot.

 

Also as much as I hate saying this cause I just hate him but he would have been handy. Harpic pandya. His AR ability gives us the advantage.

If Gill isn't playing in MO then I am not sure if he can play for India.

His innings in final will never be forgotten. Guy batted worse than a tailender

[adi B]

Look at the stark difference in how SS bashes the spinner and how Kela plays them. SS is a confident batsman, he has confidence in his batting and technique , whereas Kela is an unsure batsman and hardly looks confident
