From the available squad and as the team will not be keen to make changes the predicted 11 can be

 

Jaiswal

Eashwaran

Gill 

Virat

Pant 

Rahul

Sarfaraz 

Jadeja

Akashdeep 

Siraj

Bumrah 

 

The team management will.prefer the senior players for the first 2 test.

 

By selecting Rahul and Sarfaraz they will make the middle order strong.

 

As Rohit will.be back.Easwaran would be dropped irrespective of perfomance.  

 

 

Eswaran is a dicy pick. He is not comfortable on bouncy surfaces.

Hope he shows some resolve and make runs. Pujara was not exactly a great puller or hooker. But he found a way to score runs here. That is what we need. KL Rahul for all his ability to pull shots would be sh***ing bricks.

It looks the team management want Rahul.Inspite of having Gaekwad,Eashwaran, Paddikal, Sudharsan as opener ,they added Rahul and made him to open.

 

He will be selected irrespective of his scores

Can easily slot Jurel as a makeshift opener.

If Vihari can do that then Jurel is a massive upgrade over someone like Easwaran

Jurel.is succesful.as middle order batsman, he should play in middle order.

If he fails in 2,3 games this team management will.throw him out of the team.

 

The team management wants Rahul in the team ,he is should open and Jurel should play in.middle order.

if they dont play Jurel and play Rahul..I wish they keep losing..

[tweaker]

Rohit will not be playing the first two tests,we will have a chance to witness Gambhir ' s coaching style.

 

Will he take risk or stick to tried and tested failures.

 

As per the recent performances, he should not select Rahul,Siraj in the squad,but most probably he would play it safe and select bothBoth of them. 

[Adamant]

Neither Easwaran nor KL give any confidence, not sure who will be our opener for the first test, Rohit would be better than these two for sure.

 

Gill

Kohli

Pant

Jurel

 

should be 3-6.

 

Washington for seven.

Rohit won't play 1st three,if we loose 1st two,it's guaranteed

If anyhow we win 2nd test ,he may comeup in the 3rd

But in all probability and our morale which hit rock bottom,we aren't beginning and ending well this series,so Rohit will runaway from this series

[Sandz]

So far these players make the cut.

 

Jaiswal (on slippery slope)

________
Gill ( improving)

Sarfraz (comes with question marks)

_______
Jurel ( looks very good)

Pant

Washington (Unproven overseas)

Harshit (Unproven)

_______
Bumrah 

 

3 slots to fill, Akashdeep might be a stop gap solution , Sai Sudarshan could be the other opener but failed to impress in the A matches, Kuldeep should be the lone specialist spinner, no need to play three allrounders 

[Prabhdeep Singh]

Hypothetical Team for 2027 WTC Final at Lords:

 

Jaiswal 

Shaw

Gill

Pant

Sarfaraz

Jurel

Sundar

Harshit Rana

Akashdeep

Arshdeep

Bumrah

BCCI is looking to put all the blame on Gambhir and he would be replaced ,if we loose in Australia. 

 

He should take tough decision and Rohit is available for 2 test ,he should show his coach in prowress.

 

First  he should select the right team ,players who have confidence, are in form.

He has a core of a good team ,he should add Jurel,Prasidh,Sundar to the squad.

It is sad and unfair as captain Rohit and batters Rohit and Kohli, the main responsible ones, will escape scot-free.

 

Gambhir may turn out to be good or bad in the long run. But he must get atleast one year to prove himself.

The way things are unfolding, I have a feeling that Gambhir don't have any say and someone else is taking all the decisions.

Harshit Rana's handling is a surprise for everyone.

 

Now, I am feeling bad for Rahul Dravid as well, poor chap has to bear the load of Rohit - Kohli across his shoulders.

[tweaker]

This should be last test series for Rohit and Virat.

 

The Selectors should identify young batsman and should groom them.

 

Reddy can be groomed as middle order batsman and his bowling would be bonus

[Frustrated]

No Team Rebuilding.  Rather, there would be Retirement Home Rebuilding.  VadaPav (after having sucked balls as opener) was asked to bat at no. 6.  Similarly Chokli will be asked to bat at no. 8/9.  TM will chest thump this as some sort of Brave decision...only to pile up more embarassing losses.
