Jitesh over sanju?

[Chaos]

This is bizzare to be honest. Sanju when he clicks he explodes. Never seen bigger six hitter from india along with yuvi n dhoni. He has lazy elegance with crazy power game. Retarded selectors….

[Frustrated]

On Indian wickets, Jitesh is as explosive as Sanju.   Hardly any difference.   He scored 31 from 20 last night @ SR of 155.   Don't think Sanju could hv batted at a higher SR.

Sanju is overrated. For all the explosion he apparently does, he still strikes in mid 130s in t20 cricket. Sanju in ODIs, Jeetesh in t20i

[putrevus]

Sanju is overrrated but he sure is 100 times better than Jitesh. People get too caught up with SRs.

 

Sanju batted at top order so high SR will be lower.

Samson plays T20s in the year of ODI WC and now ODIs in the year of T20s.

 

He is the ideal male BFF for Dravid and co, gets everything except the thing he actually wants

There s no spot in the top order available. Rohit jaiswal Gill Kohli Sky - samson cnt bat above them so he has no place as a finisher coz he takes time to get going

[cricketfan28]

Agree, but jitesh is not bad either.

[tapandrun]

Donot think Sanju can bat at 6/7 , he needs time before starting hitting. Jitesh has been doing that for his domestic and ipl teams.

Jitesh can start from start from ball 1, and with 10/12 balls to face who would u pick

[cricketfan28]

Also sharmas usually get good backing.

Finishing in cricket happen in partnerships. Dhoni yuvi or dhoni raina comes to mind. I think jitesh and rinku together compliments each other well. They should play together in t20. The thing i liked about jitesh that he is a very busy player. I like busy wicketkeeper batsmen. We must play a bowler who bowls pace if hardik is not fit. In that case kohli should even bowl. Anything can happen in t20s and he may pick up wickets.3 sky 4 hardik 5 jitesh 6 rinku 7 xyz spinner allrounder is my preferred combination.  1 jaiswal is a must, just because he is a lefty and tries from ball 1. Dont need more than 7-8 bat in t20s, and i think arshdeep is doing well or okayish at 8. Can hit sixes.this is more or less my ideal 1-8 for wc. The other opner will be decided by politics.

Jitesh has been good, but I fail to understand Tilak's selection over Sanju. It is best to play both Sanju and Jitesh this series to see who comes out good. Why is Tilak even in consideration now, given that he isn't going to make the final squad anyway

[Adamant]

Jitesh hasn’t failed yet tbh, also he bats in the lower order and has a very healthy str rate.

Not a bad selection at all

I agree.

Jitesh is 6 ft 3 inches and is known in INDIAN DOmestic cricket as the "YUSUF PATHAN " of Indian cricket.

Kind of everyone agrees that no one is a big hitter than HIM. if there are 2 overs left, he is sent to bat ahead of Rinku Singh as Rinku's power hitting is a little less than JItesh, whereas Jitesh is a big hitter and sometimes gives his wicket away so Rinku is preferred if the number of overs left is 4 or 5.

[vishalvirsingh]

actually, i would prefer Jitesh to DHRUV Jurel for tests too as Jitesh has phenomenal Keeping Skills due to his height for pacers, he can catch up to first slips.

bcos he also bowls decently and is kind of an all-rounder in t20's. his bowling is fastish, does not SPIN kinda comes and bowls fastish straight balls. 1 or 2 overs from him are not easy to hit as a batsman is not clear whether to play him as a pacer or a Spinner.

Agreed they are sending Rinku a spot lower.  Jitesh is more of a cameo six hitter.  He can score 20 off 9 or 10.

Rinku can build a inns..  And has strike rotation skills too...  And then go bang.  

So he should bat above Jitesh. 

Low IQ RoVid are too thick to understand this.

He isn't 6 ft 3, not even close, he has great speed and bat swing, not the most powerful bloke but attacks from ball one.

Jitesh is a power hitter who can bat lower down the order & can tonk from bowl one, brute spin hitter.

Samson is a proper batter top of the order and can play pace very well, but needs few balls to get going big...has big weakness against spin specially leg spin.

 

If you need a no 3/4 batter...Samson makes more sense. But if we're looking for a power hitter down the order Jitesh is preferred choice.

 

For me, having Jitesh & Rinku at 5&6 makes more sense in T20I's...one is power hitter, other one is smart hitter. Top 1-4 there are many options as everyone in our T20I team likes to bat in top order. Samson though can stay as SKY's backup.

Janju has gotten enough chances … move over ., 

[cowboysfan]

He seems like a wild slogger even for T20 standards.
