BGT career watch

[Serpico]

How many careers will end with this edition of BGT?

 

In the past, BGT famously ended the careers of Dravid, Laxman, Dhoni, Sehwag, Langer(as coach), Paine, Wade, Shaun marsh etc. A lengthy high profile series will expose a lot of washed up players and puts pressure on the selectors to make the tough calls. 

 

So lets start the Deadpool for this edition of BGT. Which of these players will not play another match after this series?

 

1. Khawaja 

2. Rohit

3. Kohli

4. Smith

5. Starc

6. Marsh

7. Ashwin 

8. McSweeny 

9. Padikkal 

10. Nitish 

11. KL

[Ultimate_Game]

Aussies will do the right thing and kick out their oldies while we'll continue on with Kohli and Rohit. Star Sports will continue to show us Kohli highlights from the 2014 BGT trophy when we won the last 2 in 2018 and 2021 and Kohli did zilch there.

 

Ideally these're the players who shouldn't play beyond the current WTC cycle...

 

Aus:

Khawaja

Smith

Marsh

Starc (still good for LOIs though)

Lyon

Labuschagne (should be dropped if he continues to fail)

 

Ind:

Kohli

Rohit

Ashwin (like him but he's done)

Jadeja (time to move on)

Starc is bowling well and is still their quickest pacer.

Kela?

If he performs the way he has done, there'll be a spot for him. Especially if Rohit and Kohli retire. Plus he's a backup wkt keeper so that always helps.

Jurel is backup WK. Kela does it in white ball mostly. 

 

He needs to be consistent and maybe stick to Tests only.

Only talking about Tests.  Yup, Jurel is the backup wkt keeper. I meant he can be one too so he has one more skill and not a pure batsman. With Rohit and Kohli leaving soon, if KL shows some consistency, he can be part of the team setup alongside Jaiswal, Pant, Jurel, Sarfaraz, Sai.

[maniac]

Nitish played a memorable knock vs Bangladesh in T20 and his allround ability will keep him on the fringes of white ball.

 

Padikkal is on the verge of never playing for India in any format unless a miracle.

 

Sarfaraz will play a few home series before being dumped.

 

Sink or swim for Jurel: he needs to stand out every chance he gets or else will be forgotten.

 

Easwaran: if he didnt get a chance in first  test in BGT game, he will never get. 
 

Rohit and Kohli depends on both India’s results in the series + their individual performances.

My only complaint of this match so far - Jurel hasn't helped himself. This 2nd innings was a great chance to give the TM major selection headaches. But he has now given them an excuse to easily drop him when Gill returns :-(.

Anyway Gill deserves to be ahead of Jurel.

Perhaps there would have been some talk of postponing RGS' return to the XI ;-)

Drawvid ended his career after England tour in 2011, never played in BGT that year

[Serpico]

Looks like Rohit is definitely done after this series, unless we qualify for the final

 

Kohli got his 100 so can drag around for another year and retire with sub 45 average 

[coffee_rules]

[deepdynamo]

Assuming India won't qualify for WTC Final....

 

-Rohit is 100% done

 

- Kohli will drag out for next year home season vs WI, get his 10k runs with 46 average and then call it in test cricket at home. BCCI will mKe a event out of it ( like sachin last test)

 

- KL will also be booted out in about a year or so, he will go in England though as first choice opener.

 

- Ashwin will call it after home season In India, will finish around 560-70 test wicket.

 

- Jadeja will play in 2026 and will form a partnership with Sundar for a year and half.

 

- Shami is done in test cricket. CT 2025 could be his last apperance.

He did. Retired after BGT in 2012 March.

Yes, my bad. I mixed up with  his last ODI was in England where he was selected after 2008 just because all other ODI regulars were injured.
