Our problem in T20s is we go with player reputation and ruin the whole combination for accommodating players. 

Ex. Rahane opened for India in 2016 T20 WC. How can they do this when there were half a dozen better options at that time. That costed us the SF.

Joe Root or Steve Smith would have played 100+ T20Is for India.

We default to erring on the side of safe and technically correct batsmen and then complain that there are no fearless big hitters.

He needs to bowl. Has no other upside. 

Ruturaj would be a bigger threat to Kohli I suppose. So they are playing this plodder.

Joe Root not playing in t20 has hurt England more than it helped. England had best overall team in whiteball cricket in last five years yet flopped till last t20.

 

 

He played in 2016 T20 WC.

Next WC England scored 167 in SF which proved to be short, how could Joe Root help there ? If he was playing they would score even less.

They won 2022 edition.

Jitesh 65 kg

Rinky  65 

Hooda 72 maybe

Srk big boy probably 85 87

Abishek 70 probably

Tripartite 70 kg or under

Shivam big boy 85 plus

Tewatia also too small

 

Size wise we are lacking a bit barring 2 or 3. 

All of them weigh more than that is my wager. dube, srk, Hooda etc are all tall so I doubt they are under 90kg.

Afghan spinners are way better then ours.

Tilak as gotten more chances than anybody in recent times but has zero confidence now.

He's already been tried and struggled even vs Ireland.  Pace can work against you too. 

IMO I don't think he is being not given right guidance.He can leak 50 runs but if he pickups 4 wickets, he has done his job.That is what India should be hoping from him.

 

They have made him gun shy the moment he leaks runs. Control is last thing which will come from a guy like Umran.

 

You cannot win with guys like Arshdeep and Mukesh.You may have a chance with guys like Umraan.

Isn't he more of a ODI fit than for T20? Rinku is a T20 satar in the making

[putrevus]

Rinku Singh will surely get his chance today to showcase his hitting ability.

10 ball 20 ... Not really. He has a habit of throwing away his wicket every fukin match. 

Earlier he would take 20 balls to get to 15 runs. After that try to accelerate and lose wicket. This approach is better.

[rollingstoned]

Why are Noor and Rashid not playing? Have they gone off to the sat20? 

[Nikhil_cric]

Tilak you numpty. Get a bloody move on. Even in that SA ODI, he played absolute shite for a long time, before playing a few hits at the end. Thankfully, Samson saved the day. 

 

Doesn't even bowl to justify his selection. 

[rollingstoned]

Ye tilak bhosadika Aisa odi series mein bhi sadaya. He is playing selfishly for no reason.

No he was both expensive and wicketless. Arshdeep is better on both counts. 

 

If he can't contains he needs to pick wickets which he isnt doing now even at domestic level. 

 

There are more chances of throwing games with guy like Umran.

If Umran is not there find another one.Arshdeep is not the answer for anything.
