One lhb must in top3 for upcoming icc tournaments

[Praveen 06]

Team india need one left hand batsman in top3 to win icc trophy 

 

2002 - Ganguly (shared trophy)

2007 - gambhir opener

2011 - gambhir No3

2013 - Dhawan opener

2024 - Pant batted at no3

Rumors that Kohli is practicing left handed for the reasons above.

[Chakdephatte]

2023 was better than all these. With top five right handers. 

[Chakdephatte]

It's all about skill. India had three players who could kill sla bowlers for fun in top four- Gill, Iyer, Rohit. Their struggle against left arm pacers is sometimes overstated. He have not struggled against these two, in fact, we had the best average against SLA in the tournament. 

 

Clearly, our data driven TM understood this.

Jaiswal please. How much more does he have to prove himself?

Against SLA since 2020 (ODIs),  Rohit , Iyer and Gill have very good averages but strike rates are all around 88,89.

 

That's good but not particularly dominant.

 

KL averages 50 and strikes at 97 and is best player of SLA in the ODI side.

 

Kohli has been the worst, averaging 32 and striking at 73.

 

A left hander in that top order is certainly desirable

Iyer can't play pace or bounce. Should be dropped in all formats.

Desirable, yes. 

 

Iyer was Pant's injury replacement. In his absence, Iyer was our best option and absolutely justified his selection. 

 

When Pant comes back, he should replace Iyer. 

 

The numbers I talked about were from World Cup. We were the best team against SLA. 

 

This is the point.

Pant will be good option at 3. Kohli no4

Jaiswal in ODIs, and Jaiswal-Abhishek combo in T20Is.

 

Hopefully Rinku in the middle order in both the formats too 

[Majestic]

Yes leftie helps in World tournaments a lot.

 

A left arm pacer too..

Hello

 

A left-handed batsman in the top 3 is crucial for Team India's success in ICC tournaments!

• 2002: Sourav Ganguly (shared Champions Trophy)
• 2007: Gautam Gambhir (T20 World Cup, opener)
• 2011: Gautam Gambhir (World Cup, No. 3)
• 2013: Shikhar Dhawan (Champions Trophy, opener)
• 2024: Rishabh Pant (potential No. 3)

Thank you
