It seems reminiscent of 2019 WC

In 2019, for some odd reason we had this great strategy of going in 3 batters and then allrounders plus Dhoni who lost his mojo. The team was forced to play defensive and save wickets upfront to avoid collapse. Ultimately this happened in semi finals. That team seemed good enough for semi finals. 

 

This team looks good for Semi finals. Rohit, Kohli and that's it. One or two of the other three have to click. And Hardik onwards its hitting with limitations. Pant is not top order batter. He is more gymnastics than results. I love Pant but he just doesn't seem to provide risk to return. Surya is hit or miss. Dube, not much to say.  Lack of atleast one top class batter is going to hurt the team. Perhaps Jaiswal at the top, not sure. 

 

Its a pity that the golden generation of Indian bowling has been lost due to poor selection.  

Glad that somebody said. This T20 World Cup reminds me a LOT about 2019 

 

Dube gives Kedar Jadhav vibes to be honest.

Lmao, you have mentioned Kohl in the positive column (rohit, kohli and thats it) despite him laying an egg the entire tournament and are abusing performers like Pant, Pandya and SKY? 

 

"top class" batsmen like kohli have won NOTHING in T20s for SEVENTEEN years yet we need to attack youngsters and new comers? We need safe, stable stat padders who have won nothing?

 

Pathetic

 

If we win the cup it will be because of the performance of these unstable/unconventional/mercurial players, the steady top performers have choked in every major trophy.

Haha.. Phir ***rona.We won from Aus 114-2 in 11. Head bossing the game. Axar's last 2 clutch overs, Bumrah's bowling, Axar's catch, Arshdeep's wickets. I have reasons to believe that Ind will go all the way this year. 

Because we have never dominated in group stages before this cup..... Oh wait. We have dominated most times and then laid an egg in knock outs. People still having premature ejeculations before the knock outs based on group performance are hilarious.

Called out on Pant. Bad selection for T20
