Gist of the thread :

 

If Mayank gets selected, it'll be because Agarkar wanted him and put his foot down

 

If he doesn't then it's because Dravid doesn't want him despite Agarkar wanting him. Then Agarkar could not do anything.

Not sure about Mayank but how about Kela, If kela is in the squad and in playing XI …. Can we bash Draavid then.

Nope During Shastri and Kohli’s time he used to spent more time on bench Jadhav , Yuvi and Dhoni were more regular in mo. Only when Draavid sir came he just not become regular in playing xi he also promoted to so called leadership group.

Yuvi played last in 2017. Dhoni also quit T20 around that. Kela was always opening in T20 and in MO in ODIs

Not always. Before Dravid when kela was actually a good player he was always an alternate opener in odi in place of Dhawan even in 19 wc he became regular only when Dhwan got injured till that point his poistion was not fixed. In t20 also he was not a regular opener . People were annoyed when Shastri and kohli used go drop him. Once Dravid became coach he started playing regularly and also got batting positions as per his wish.

1. Rohit

2.Jaiswal + (12) --1 more Opner

3.Kolhi

4.Sky

5.Pandaya

6.RInku

7.Jitesh +(13) --1 more keeper

8.Jadeja

9.Kuldeep +(15)--1 more spinner --Chahal / Axar

10.Bhmrah

11.Singh +(14)--1 more Pacer-- Mukesh

 

 

Do not think Mayank or any other newbie out side this group fits in. Even Rinku will find it hard to make into playing 11 without Pandya bowling fit

I advise BCCI to pull Mayank out of IPL immediately. Compensate him for IPL money he will lose just to keep him away from injuries till T20 WC. 

Mayank needs to play in different conditions against different batters..  So far PBKS and RCB batting line ups don't have that kind of firepower. 

Want to see him against KKR SRH and especially MI in Wankhede. 

 

Boy needs to be battle hardened before T20 WC. 

 

Though I do wish BCCI needs to take regular update on his workload.  He should himself be mindful of diving in the Outfield or anything. 

Bowling 8 overs in a week is not much of a issue.

Drop Jadeja and go with 4 all out attacking bowlers + PANDYA

JADDU offers neither bowling nor batting waste of space. 

 

Rohit

YBJ

Koli

SKY

Pant (spin bash/wk leftie) 

Rinku

Pandu

Kuldeep

Bumrah 

Mayank

Sai Kishore/Brar (proper spin for Slow pitches)

Siraj Harshit Jurel in reserves

I like what I saw of Brar .  Gets bounce and is a little different from the darting SLA's . 

 

But this all depends on Pandu's form with bat and ball and his general  fitness .  If he can be a genuine 3rd seamer (at his best , his bowling is gold ) , we can go with this approach 

 

But if he is not fit and in form, that combination is a huge problem because we don't have another seam allrounder whose ceiling is anywhere close to Pandya. 

 

Then we will have to drop Brar and play the extra seamer  .  

 

So then , they will have to play a spin allrounder at 7. 

 

Personally , I want India to be bold and drop Kohli along with Pandya and somehow try to fit both Abhishek and Riyan , our best young T20 batters (who can also bowl ),  but nobody has the cajones to do that

 I am obviously trying to make a best possible XI that will be enforced on us.  There is no point in taking a bits and pieces players like Jadeja or Axar. 

 

MY strategy will be to open the bowling with Pandya and Bumrah...  And use Brar for a over as well in first six. 

Final PP over to Mayank. 

 

Use Mayank and Kuldeep in Middle phase.  Kill the game right there. 

If it doesn't...  I have 3 Bumrah overs in the end to do damage control. 

 

Brar/Pandya overs can be interchanged depending upon conditions and form. 

 

Brar can slog as well..  PBKS bats him ahead of Rabada even

We can't rely on Pandu as 5th bowler. Need a 6th option

 

Would play Bishnoi as 2nd spinner

Playing 2 specialist spinners has never worked and never will work for us

Lack of prep and planning if pandaya is not bowling as specialist 5th bowler then Rinku misses out from playing 11

Not convinced we need a "specialist " 5th bowler at all.

On WI pitches it can. They are very low and slow.

 

Plus Bishnoi can bat a bit and is an excellent fielder.

Bishnoi 's bowling itself is suspect. Let alone his batting and fielding.
