Devdutt Paddikal is worst pick in test matches similar to SKY's selection v Aus last year

[Trichromatic]

He averages 29 in his FC season, 42 overall.

 

How did he manage to get into this team?

[putrevus]

Why was Sarfraz dropped?

[Vk1]

This guy reminds me of those 90s cricketers.. Devang Gandhi, Shiv Sunder Das, Venugopal Rao

[tweaker]

He was not in the squad ,he was added later still he played ahead of Eashwaran, Sarfaraz

Because he scored 150 v NZ

DDP looked like a tail ender who couldn't put bat on ball. Jmhe just looked scared and players like that will never do anything in Australia.

Sai Susharshan unlucky 

[SandeepMotta]

As someone rightly said in the other thread, Jadeja would have been a better pick, surely wouldn't have done worse.

[SandeepMotta]

Paddikal got so many balls in his pads but just couldn't out them away. Seriously need to question the TM. Hope after this series we get a foreign coach .

Gambhir needs to go, he is over his head. I gave him benefit of doubt initially but he is doing everything wrong.

They are all mediocre batsman. We lived in a delusional world where we felt we have lot of quality batters.

 

The hype behind Jaiswal will also get exposed soon. He will go into the Gill mode (2021-23) soon.

 

Paddikal, Sarfaraz, Eashwaran, S Iyer none belong at this level.

Has nobody taught these guys they can leave the ball on bounce in Australia?

Welcome back. Hope all good.

He scored runs for India A. That probably gave him the nod over likes of Sai

He's gone again after "King" Kohli's stupendous knock

Good question! Whether he was going to flop anyways or not, he is a better pick than Padikkal for sure.

Why was he playing for India A in first place with a FC average of 40

 

 

[Lord]

Jurel/Sundar have the best defensive technique despite Jurel's dismissal. Jurel should bat at 3 with Sarfaraz/Jaddu in

Sure they all are mediocre, but why picks batsmen who can't even perform at FC level?
