Sky will finish our chances of winning. Choking guy should not play either. Neither should bonafide choker like kohli and rohit. But it's india.

Then who is our finisher

I am not sure why they didnt play him in the practice game but if they drop him i will be forever miffed with Dravid.

Given his IPL performance he would have struggled against pakistan so i am fine with him sitting out first 2 games.

by that logic Rohit, Pandu should be the first ones to be dropped.

I agree. Rohit has no business leading this squad. 

[cricketfan28]

He will def play.

[vvvslaxman]

If Jaiswal bowls one of Axar or  Jaddu can sit out.

[vvvslaxman]

Bumrah + Arshdeep + Pandya + Dube = 10 overs

Axar + Jadeja + Kuldeep = 10 overs

Pant (WK)
Rohit, Kohli, SKY

 

8 batsmen, 7 bowlers

 

Bumrah + Asrhdeep +Siraj + Pandya = 12 overs

Jadeja + Kuldeep = 8 overs

Pant (WK)

Rohit, Kohli, SKY, Jaiswal

 

7 batsmen, 6 bowlers

 

Bumrah + Arshdeep +Pandya = 10 overs

Jadeja +Kuldeep + Axar = 10 overs

Pant (WK)

Rohit, Kohli, SKY, Jaiswal

 

8 batsmen , 6 bowlers

Are they gonna play 3 spinners for sure?

Doesnt look like a good strategy especially when only Kuldeep actually turns the ball.

Not for their spin. JUst to lend some depth in batting as our main seamers cannot bat to save their lives. Siraj, Bumrah, Arshdeep.

Arshdeep can hit sixes we seen that

He can hit. But there is no proof he can do every time. May be 10 runs tops.

Realistic XI would be

 

Rohit

Kohli

SKY

Pandya

Dube

Pant

Jadeja

Bumrah

Kuldeep

Arshdeep

Siraj

 

all others are backups who'll come only in case of injuries, not bad performance by those playing

Bum

They might drop a fast bowler for Axar because Pandya and Dube can give 3-4 overs between them.

Bumrah at number 8?
This is a Disastrous batting lineup.

We should atleast have Axar at number 8, Jadeja shouldnt play

Both Axar and Jadeja will play. 

Expected starting XI

 

Rohit

Kohli

Pant

SKY 

Dube

Pandya

Jadeja

Axar

Bumrah

Kuldeep

Arshdeep

 

That way we have batting till 8

3 spinners and 2 quicks who can each bowl four overs on a good day.

Pandya and Dube can chip in with some overs as required

Yes, very likely that three spinners will start given the slow and low surfaces. Also, Pandya will be trusted to be the third pacer

yes likely. Also beefs up batting a bit

What was the point of not playing Jasiwal in the warmup game?

to ensure he doesn't score runs and threaten anybody's spot.

[vvvslaxman]

The funny thing is as per ICC rankings

 

No.6 Rank   Jaiswal

No.11 Rank   Ruturaj

No.32 Rank Rinku

 

These are the top 3 from India.  Nobody might play

 

Similarly among bowlers

 

No.3 Rank Axar

No.4 Rank Bishnoi

 

Both may miss out

How come all three options have Pant as wk? Isn't Samson better than Pant for T20s?

[Ultimate_Game]

Yup, Indian team is only meant for "experience". No place for youngsters or domestic performers.
