So India’s biggest match winner retired midway 

indias greatest bowler is being bowled to death 

India’s true champion being subjected to dropping 

the middle child rahul is shuffled all over inspite of stellar performance 

the incoming king gill is dropped … 

 

meanwhile , the media king and the vada pav Sardar continue to come in unabated ! 
 

I just hope they both play , we loose and we see the end of kohli and sharms in tests and hopefully odi too.

Just reading that article it seems so surreal that you would normally think it's parody. Even funnier that I predicted this is exactly what would happen and backed by the phrase "strict action". So replace a keeper who has underperformed by scoring 154 runs in the series with someone who has scored 11 and 1 in the one test he has played and the hurrah it's a winning batting combination !

Portraying Pant as a problem only adds to existing ones and 2 are  perennial problems out of those who have held back this side since 2019

It also perpetuates the culture of lack of accountability and "seniors" are held to a different standard than the others. With that culture, there is no way you can have a healthy team environment let alone a winning one.

Looks like the india media grapevine is strongly suggesting that Rohit is sitting out this match and Bumrah will captain. Now that would be a move that would make sense.

If they have the balls to make that move then I don't think makes a difference who the keeper is - they can play both Jurel and Pant unless they want to make a show of sacking Pant. Jurel for Rohit would probably significantly improve the team combination.

Rohit Besharma getting dropped would be good.  But makes no sense if Gill (another loser) replaces him.   Jurel would be a better option.

Gill is the second highest runs scorer for India in 2024 after Jaiswal with an average of 43.3 last year. He has only played 3 innings in 2 tests in this series and has looked much better than Rohit and Kohli everytime he has batted. There is no case for dropping him before others. He has some technical issues to work on like most others but chopping and changing him is not needed.

Except that's not true at all, when it comes to seniors only one or two hold all the cards - started with MS & his CSK Luddites of course! MS dropped Sehwag/GG/Zaheer/Harbhajan relatively quickly once he scored that 99 in Nagpur, his performances as a bat were horrendoes & he was just biding his time back then. Same goes for BRat who threw Rahane/Pujara under the bus regularly although they were finally retired under RGS.

Whether he is captaincy material is yet to be determined. The bigger problem is that captaincy is seen as a throne to occupy rather than a place of responsibility to serve.
