Rohit hasn’t performed well in any t20 world cup and I think he was the one most affected by the world cup loss.

Shouldnt have been picked but the only thing that inspires some confidence about him is how he batted in the world cup, if he continues the same approach, it will work fine.

 

Kohli obviously should be the first pick in WestIndian conditions, they are tailor made for his style of t20 batting.

 

Expecting Sky to finally show up.

 

This would be my team :

 

Sharma

Jaiswal

Kohli

Sky

Pandya

Rinku

Jitesh

Bumrah

Kuldeep/Bishnoi

Siraj

Arshdeep

 

 

Batting till 7, we know Indian tail cannot be modified coz we have no good bowling allrounder.

 

Chahar could have been a choice but he is usually injured.

 

I don’t think we can do anything to fix our tail.

So just stavk up your batting till 7 and play only 5 bowlers, no need of 6th bowler in t20s

We definitely need two spinners in windies. Must. Just see the series we lost 3-2. Chahal was turning the ball square and pandya messed up by not giving him an extra over.

So our tournament panautis are back.

Ishan Kishan dropped permenantly, I guess.  Won't mind it. 

Kishan worst T20 investment.

[Lord]

Kohli will be needed in SA. In good form now

 

Rohit is not needed. Rather back youngsters

Look at the figures of Rashid and Livingstone here.

Kohli Rohit played majority of those 42 balls and allowed them get away with cheap overs. The game lost right there by these 2 and that's the reason everyone is fed up with these guys screwing one tournament after another.

Travesty that KL, Jadeja, Harshal and Bhuvi are excluded.

[Nikhil_cric]

Kohli on slow pitches ? If Rohit and Kohli are back , it means they'll be going with a batting order of

 

Rohit 

Gill

Kohli

SKY

Iyer

Jitesh/Samson(wk)

Jadeja 

 

What could possibly go wrong ? 

[Lone Wolf]

Some absolutely pathetic arguments on this thread...  No 3 will face lot of spin on those ultra low slow decks of US & WI... 

Kohli will be a massive liability... 

We know Rohit has been pathetic in WT20 

 

How on earth is WI perfect for these guys?

India will lose to Pak without Jaiswal...  Gill is not a T20 player but would do better than Rohit there

Mere ghante ke fans should see these stats vs spin

KL needs all the rest with 5 Tests coming up,they should have rested Rohit and Kohli too.

Dunno about Gill being better than Rohit even now but Jaiswal should be the first name on that team sheet. 

 

Absolute travesty if he's not in the starting XI. Also Rinku. 

 

This team is not worth following if both don't make the XI. Especially because India desperately needs attacking left handers in that lineup. 

 

They get easily targeted by SLAs and leggies it's not even funny.

Doesn't matter, we aren't winning anything anytime. Just Hoping England doesn't win against us this month.

Wait till IPL...

[speed_thrills]

@cowboysfan naah no rest for stalwarts like KL, Kohli and Rohit. In fact even DK and Rahane should be called back to form a well rounded experienced squad.

[sensible-indian]

Jadeja still in t20s?

Rinku has to play. No way the morons can exclude him from World Cup playing XI

Rohit and Jadeja are the worst ever players in the history of T20 WCs. Did nothing even at their peak. And look how obese Ro is now, no professional team will carry a fatso like him. 

 

Kohli selection is perfectly ok.

Bhai he is bad overall. But in 2007 wt20 he played two crucial inning. One against SA in virtual knockout and another one in Final against pak. Which took is to fighting total. Overall i agree he is bad in t20.
