Not sure what happens after the wc but if he plays in the wc he needs to sort out the issue. After wc think Ind needs to look at new set of wc batters for white-ball.

Look at how both of them charge at the Pacers by making room on leg side but keeping their head position stable. That's why I want Abhishek to play tests in SENA, he can exactly what Brook has done Sanju doesn't has that ability and frankly that's a rare ability to have in cricketing world. Comparing brook and abhishek would not be right, brook has ~45 FC avg and 19 tons. Abhishek does not any kind of record in FC. He is working in t20i let him play there. And may be after the t20i wc try him as a finisher in Odis but for that he needs to bowl more. Sanju is moving to leg-side, showing all the stumps and then playing/trying just 1 shot i.e. straight drive is kind of odd technique. If he is making such a room he needs to swing hard and access mid-on to 3rd man. And as some poster already mentioned he is shifting his weight on back foot and never bringing it back to front foot is also an issue. Think he is concerned about short pitch ball. deepdynamo and Sgattick10 2

Rohit's issue was not that he didnt have the shots or lacked off-side/leg-side game. The issue was he was not able to get the runs in mo and lower mo. What changed was he started opening, he had the time he needed to build the innings , he could cross/lift the ball over inner circle and get some runs. Opening in white-balls help specially for player who have bit of power game. Kishan has issue playing the ball which are leaving him or decking away from him be it spin or pace. Who ever plays be it ishan/sanju does not matter, what matters they should perform. Team is already decided. whatever issues they have they can find a workaround or may be short-term fix that is okay now Edited February 3 by tapandrun
putrevus Posted February 3 Posted February 3 (edited) Who are the spinners, other than Bumrah, fast bowlers are also suspect. Bumrah and mystery spinner can they win matches if batting is subpar. Edited February 3 by putrevus

Bumnrah and mystery spinner can they win matches if batting is subpar. Varun and Axar. Kuldeep also in certain configs. This is a strong batting lineup. Should be relied on to get above par. And Bumrah/Varun are goated.

Yes,I have mentioned it earlier here,his back foot goes so much back in the crease ,front foot press isn't that forward as well,just playing with hands,also is getting late on shots tapandrun 1

Gollum Posted February 4 Posted February 4 21 hours ago, deathmonger said: And I am pretty sure in those 6 losses India had missing personnel or was playing the wrong combo. To be fair, nobody plays full-strength sides in white ball bilaterals these days. Except Pooks, they even ran Shaheen to the ground few years back by playing him in all matches against Netherlands and Ireland.

True but thing is India's missing personnel are often the best in the world at their positions.

Ind ODI team wasn't. 2. Ind ODI team had lost series to Aus 1-2 earlier in March. Had lost to SA a year earlier. This T20 team has lost NOTHING since mid 2023 - no series, no tournaments, home or away Vk1 and deepdynamo 2
