Verbally though Kohli has told that Tests are his priority, and I would like him to honour that. would be better if he plays most of them, or opts out of most of them Link to comment
putrevus Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 9 hours ago, singhvivek141 said: This T20 WC, we need Jaiswal & Rinku for sure in batting, both play spin well and hit big shots. Spin is going to be a key in WI. For Pandya, he struggles vs hard length. But his hitting ability is still there against spin and full deliveries, plus his bowling is way better that other "allrounders" like Dube, Shardul etc. Jadeja is anyway of no use in T20. Kuldeep still hasn't played enough games so far. It was his first WC and he bowled very well in most of games. His performance is on an upword trajectory. If we will become so strict with failures then even Ashwin flopped in 2016 semifinal & 2017 CT final, still we are persisting with him. We need a fast starter at the top and a finisher who can go from ball one. These are the two main weaknesses which has hurt India in last decade in t20 and also odis. I don't think Pandya ever was a finisher in classic style plus his SR in WI 2022 was 114 and in 2023 was 110. We don't need this guy. Ashwin and Jadeja were kicked in 2017 only to brought back due to feeble batting by bowlers and allrounders.Both of them are not needed in whiteball cricket but redball they still have lot of life. Kuldeep had a golden chance to cement his legacy on Indian pitches and against SENA teams in world cup but he stunk no two ways about it. That is why I would not hand over sole spinner spot in redball cricket to Kuldeep yet. tweaker and Manucrick 2 Link to comment
goose Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Agarkar and Dravid the primary reasons for one of India's greatest ever test wins in Adelaide 2003 Link to comment
diga Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 T20 WC will be played in west indies where the pitches are slow & low and will not be conducive to touch play. We need batsmen who can play forcing shots even of the backfoot with a lot of power. Frustrated 1 Link to comment

rollingstoned Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 We have Agarkar to thank that they did not recall Pujara mid series after it was confirmed that Rahul will not play, Dravid and TM wanted it for experiences sake and he was making runs for Saurashtra. express bowling 1 Link to comment

Gollum Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 So Rovid wanted Pujara back. And wanted to give Bharat more chances. Sackable offence IMO. Future of Indian cricket can't be entrusted upon these two clueless, compromised clowns. Vijy, express bowling, rollingstoned and 1 other 4 Link to comment

putrevus Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) Rohit has done everyting possible in odis to win atleast one world cup.While Kohli has done very well in both formats, they both deserved to win multiple trophies. Unfortunately they have been saddled with useless bozos who never could help them for decade.If they failed Indian team is destined for a loss. No player including Sachin ever had to carry this load.Sachin had luxury of walking off as winner even when he got out cheaply. Dhoni was carried by other team members to multiple trophies. These two guys never had that luxury.Most unfortunate guys who have been saddled with utterly useless supporting cast. What can they win when they had an ace bowler who cracks under even slightest pressure. Useless Dravid has not helped them one bit. Edited March 16 by putrevus Link to comment

They had two allrounders a young hardik and jaddu, upcoming Bumrah,Bhuvi was doing well , Dhawan at his absolute best. Sure Dhoni was on his decline but he was okay at the position he was playing. yet we lost against an ordinary Pakistan and WI side. We have to field a young team, we just cannot win with veterans who have year after year failed to win ICC trophy. Infact last year we lost two finals. Vijy 1 Link to comment

I could claim team was let down by Sachin himself (specially when he also was the captain) when they failed to chase 120 against WI. A 30 run innings from Sachin would have done the job be he only got 5. Aus when kumble was the captain, clark got him out and in the end we lost the test in the final over. Link to comment
