Hear me out without getting angry: Riyan Parag’s bowling reminds me of Rashid Khan.

As a fan i am feeling a lot more secure with this structure than the super star one-dimensional line up. Even captain will be happy to have many options available at his disposal. 

After Rohit-Kohli era there is no bonafide superstar. Maybe Bumrah.

 

the closest I can see get to that megastar level in Indian team is Jaiswal.  Gill at best will have Rahul Dravid level craze.

He is more than  a part timer. He is a level above Livingstone. He is a regular bowler for his state in T20 atleast. India has to harness this. When MSD could turn into a nothing bowler Kedar into some kind of useful part timer why not encourage this guy who already has some skill. 

 

Dhoni had the right idea. He always had players who could roll their arms over and trusted them to do so. Raina used to bowl regularly, he made Yuvraj into a genuine all-rounder who could bowl 10 overs, and even turned a batsman like Kedar into someone who could bowl 5-6 overs per match.We need to follow the same approach and we need to prioritize players like Abhishek and Parag over pure batsmen like Ruturaj and even Gill.

 

We can't have more than 2-3 pure batsmen who can't roll their arms over. And only 2 pure bowlers who can't hold the bat. Bumrah is one of those and preferably we focus on getting bowlers who can score some useful runs like Arshdeep and Harshit Rana and move away from likes of Siraj, Chahal who're poor in batting and fielding and even the bowling isn't that great.

They're trying to make Gill one by pushing him into every format. Hope better sense prevails and we play players suited to formats than try to make them multi-format "stars" just for the sake of it. That's why we need to push likes of Abhishek in T20s and Jaiswal in ODIs. It's criminal Abhishek was dropped after scoring a 40 ball 100 in his 2nd T20 and after he was able to match Head in IPL. And not including Jaiswal in ODIs despite him being our top performer in Tests and T20s is just plain stupid. There's no plausible rationale for it other than protecting the places of seniors in ODIs.

It took Kohli some time to reach that super stardom, he was pretty average at first before he suddenly burst in all format.

 

But a true all format star is unlikely in the future no matter how much BCCI try to force 

 

This is also because we have now very vast and diverse talent so we won't need to force a Dravid in ODIs or a Kohli in t20 going forward.

Team over individuals is what we should focus on

What do you think the reason for that ? Is it because

1. Fans across the country are more aware now

2. The talent inflow from IPL means no one can remain the "boss".

3. The upcominh commentators and experts have understanding of modern day cricket and it's challenges

4. Any other reason

we used to celebrate good among mediocrity. Now we pick the exceptional among good so it’s more challenging

This kid is a good bowler  now in this context his batting looks way better as I wasn’t sold on his batting like others.

[maniac]

I might have started this on a lighter note but this guy has some mad skills with the ball. Most importantly has the bowler attitude instead of going through the motions.

[Lord]

His batting reminds me of Rashid too

[Sgattick10]

Let me go a step further and say he is going to be better then Rashid Kha

Not sure  about fellow ICFERS . But for me it was good knock in this pitch by Parag. Played with maturity , but should have kept faith on Sundar and played 

bit longer.

Sundar is technically more compact than Riyan however Riyan can be more destructive.

it was just a mishit he got out too..poor bowl deserved to be hit just bad connection..could have gone for six too...so will give him a pass this time..

He should stop playing the reverse sweep; Twice bowled. Once in the Gabba Test. And now.

I think only @rkt.india rated his bowling highly if I remember.

I always rated him ebcause i have seen his clippings.

Another lower order batsman who has developed his bowling skill is Sharukh khan. But a batting hack.
