Ultimate_Game Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I'll go with the following... Abhishek Jaiswal Sanju Samson (he's good at 3) SKY Parag Rinku Ashutosh/Pandya/Dube If we're comfortable letting Abhishek and Parag bowl 4 overs, then will go with Ashutosh at 7 as he's in form and you need in-form hitters in T20s. Else select Pandya or Dube so a combination of Pandya/Dube along with Abhishek and Parag can complete the 5th bowler's quota. Pitches in WI are on the slowish side and help spinners so likes of Abhishek and Parag should be able to get some overs in. raki05 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vvvslaxman Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Abhishek SHarma Jaiswal SKY Samson Parag Rinku Dube Pandya (8th batsman) Rana Kuldeep Booms THis way you have batting till 9.

He must bowl 4 overs. that is the assumption. If he can't replace with a bowler who can bat well. Deshpande can bat, Thakur can bat. Bowling poor. But how poor compared to specialist bowler who can't bat. That is the question. Siraj is equally poor plus he can't bat. Arshdeep can't bat either. Only advantage he is a left armer. He needs some batting skills. Preferably six hitting skills. Edited April 21 by vvvslaxman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamadagni Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Jaiswal Rohit(c) - Is batting with intent. Abhishek Samson (wk) SKY Parag Rinku Kuldeep Bumrah Mayank Harshit Rana(?) - In my XI, only one slot is up for grabs, who is Harshit Rana. - Abhishek at 3. He is a fantastic hitter against spin in the middle. - Strictly no Dube. This guy has serious wekeaness against pace and hard length. - Mayank is my trump card in bowling. - Abhishek, Parag and Jaiswal to be used as 5th bowler. All the batsmen in my XI are equally good against pace and spin. That's my most important criteria and that's how it should be. maniac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had thought the same way back in 2007, a team comprising Uthappa, Joginder Sharma, DK, Yusuf Pathan, a young Rohit making his debut, a debutant captain in Dhoni, RP Singh, and Sreesanth wouldn't have inspired much confidence as well. But they won the whole thing! Safer bet would've been to go with likes of Tendulkar, Ganguly, Dravid, Zaheer etc. and we know how that would've ended. We beat Aus in Aus on the backs of our youngsters with likes of Siraj, Nattu, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur making key contributions led by Pant. Surely our youngsters can handle T20 stage. In India if a youngster comes through, it's a given talent is there. They simply need the right backing and support. Back these youngsters and they'll surprise you. Worst case is they get into the top 4 and then get knocked out but that's not different from what "experience" has gotten us so far. I say try a different approach and at the very least, it would be fun to watch them play a fearless brand of cricket Edited April 21 by Ultimate_Game Vijy and Lord 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our 2007 T20 WC team had several duds or unprovens, along with some number of established players Ultimate_Game and maniac 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
