Easwaran too was found out vs short ball. He was a sitting duck in all the games in Australia, I like him as a guy but he didn't help his cause.

 

Our options are limited, Sarfaraz always have a big question mark on his ability to play pace and bounce. Jurel is solid but we need more names.

easwaean is extremely mediocre but on principle he should have played ahead of Paddikal at least.

That's not gonna help us in any way, we need solid replacements...Indian cap shouldn't be given as a consolation prize to everyone. Atleast not in Tests.

 

Giving SKY debut was lol worthy, but that doesn't mean we repeat the same mistakes with others.

Pradosh is someone who they should keep in mind

SKY was a gamble on a dust bowl. They thinking its enough if he connects 3 or 4 sweeps/reverse sweeps.

Padikkal is the worst selection in recent memory. That guy clearly looked like tier 3 level against international bowlers.

I know he had one good knock vs SA A, but IIRC, he did not turn in any memorable performances in other Ind A, Duleep, Irani matches

Bump.

 

Beneficiaries

NKR

Sai Sudharshan

Dhruv Jurel

 

Affected parties

Abhimanyu Easwaran

Sarfraz

Vihari (Dropped suddenly)

Rinku?

Shreyas Iyer?

 

We are yet to get the replacement of Dravid/Pujara. Much time was invested in Vihari but suddenly he's off the radar.

This is not true of Jurel or Sai given they got their caps off the back of A team performances 

 

You Could argue they should not even have got those A team chances: maybe. But they justified those selections
