The current team is full of chokers. Nobody has ever performed remotely close to how they perform in bi-laterals or league matches. Essentially, if Jaiswal goes early, we're screwed as we know what Rohit, Kohli and other stalwarts are gonna do in knockouts. Vijy 1

If you've batted around 14 times in playoffs and average in mid 20s at a SR of 120 odd with not even a single match-winning innings, that's a clear indicator you can't perform under pressure. I mean failing once, twice, thrice or four times is one thing. But continuously fail across 14 matches is a huge sample size and shows you shouldn't be picked for knockouts. I'm shocked nobody has brought it up. They keep on ramming useless stats about average and SR against a certain bowler, but conveniently leave out such a big stat, i.e., performance in playoffs. velu and Suhaan 2

Whole BCCI's behavior took a 180 degree turn once selectors tried to remove MS post 0-8 drubbing. Now selectors & coaches are nothing but mere puppets & the decision making is captain. No wonder why we keep on getting mediocre yes-men as coaches & selectors, who are coward enough to step in and overturn their decisioning. Suhaan and Ultimate_Game 2
