Mayank and Harshit Rana combo is going to be fun.
Seems GG finally backed his Delhi boys, whom he must have seen closely. The otherwise boring series will be a fun now.

Very happy to see Nithish Reddy as well, I really think he has the potential to become Shane Watson for us.
One slight change I might call out is there was no need for Shivam Dube as we already have Pandya and Nithish as 2 pace bowling allrounders, Tilak Varma should have been here.

I'd have included Venky Iyer

No need of rest after such huge break. I think Pant especially is just dropped. They moved on from Tukuraj too.

 

Also they needed an opener instead of making Samson open. Perhaps someone like Sai Sudarshan

They don't want more competition for Gill and Jaiswal especially Gill.

 

Abhishek is easily droppable as he is a high risk player who will score brisk cameos.

 

Tukuraj would average 40 with a 135S/R directly threatening Gill.

 

Abhishek would likely average 25 with 180 S/R

Yeah Venky is a good guy to have in the team. Talented guy with a good temperament. Plays well under pressure.

[singhvivek141]

Who will be the second opener alongside Abhishek
Is Sanju going to open ? or will Washy will get a go (aka Narine)
 

[cowboysfan]

only bad selection is Samson,that guy is a colossal failure and not even a good keeper.

[cowboysfan]

I would have picked Kishan over Samson but I guess he still is not out of the dog house. 

[singhvivek141]

Abhishek Sharma
Sanju Samson
SKY (c)
Riyan Parag
Rinku Singh
Hardik Pandya
Washington Sundar
Harshit Rana
Ravi Bishnoi
Arshdeep Singh
Mayank Yadav

This probably be the starting XI
Jitesh, Varun C, Nithish, Dube might not play in the first XI.

Harshit Rana & Washy probably will play all 3 games as there is no other bowling allounder (pace/spin) in the squad (unless they trust Riyan and Abhishek to bowl full quota). Hence batting at no 7/8 might go to these 2.
Mayank if he is 100% fit them team will be tempted to play him vs Bangladesh.

Why no tilak Varma

[Ultimate_Game]

Pretty good squad! Except for Samson and probably Shivam Dube, rest of selections are spot on.

[Suhaan]

Sanam Dube bklva must have been dropped for eternity

Personally quite elated to see Mayank,Harshit,Abhishek,Reddy and Rinku

 

Fast bowling and power hitting only thing gets me going,can't get to watch consistently cricket these days only things that sets me glued with this game is "pace"(offcourse not mad pace)

Hope they bring in some vision/program for another high velocity guys Umran and Tyagi

Lag raha hai bhaang khake squad chuna hai

Nahi toh Avesh aur Mukesh ham sabka pyarpa rahe hotey

[Norman]

Who's going to open alongside Abhishek? Are they so scared to see precious Gill losing his spot that they announce a squad with a single opener? 

[Laaloo]

One of the best squads we have selected in recent times.

Good squad, Finally Pant dropped.Would have liked to see Jaiswal as well in place of Dubey. I think Samson will open.

Could have taken Tilak in Dubey's place

Sanju baba most likely

[coffee_rules]

Hopefully Gill is dropped and not rested. Jaiswal should have continued. Shashi Tharoor will be beaming looking at this squad (WK only)

Our pace bowling appreciation group will be happy, Mayank, Harshit and no Gukesh, Gavesh and Zaleel

[Vickydev]

Dont think Mayank will play, it'll be Rana and Arshdeep with Pandya and Dube/Nitish as the 3rd seamer

Such a gun squad.... Maya k Harshit Rana let's goooooooooo

LAG GAYI ...LAG GAYI...Bangala Ki lag gayi....

Khatarnak bowling attack

Chakravarthy and Bishnoi- khatarnak SPIN Double, agar dono khele to dono wicket lenge- run bhi nahi dete aur wicket bhi lete hai. lagta hai  khelega in dono mein se.

nitish reddy OR DUbe mein - i think Nitish reddy may be preferred.

Sardar ARSHDEEP is the leader of the attack - he will play.

Harshit OR Mayank - one of the two may play as ARSH/MAYANK/hardik and Nitish could be our pace attack. nitish could be replaced by WASHINGTON too if the pitch favours Spinners.

ABHISHEK and Sanju will Open

Surya - no 3

riyan - no 4

Hardik- no 5

rinku singh- no 6

nitish reddy/washington /dube - no 7

bishnoi/chakravarthy - no 8 if it is a SPINning pitch both may play and a pacer reduced.

arshdeep

harshit

mayank
