Ya.. But NKR is such a rare species. 135 k bowling all rounder. His six hitting skills are invaluable. India can rotate between him/Dube/Venky iyer if possible.

We have Raj Bawa as well.
Both NKR and Raj Bawa are proper allrounders...better than Dube and V Iyer who are batters who can bowl a bit.
Though NKR too is primary a batter, but his bowling is better than Dube and V Iyer if he bowls with effort.
Bawa is quicker than NKR, taller as well and has more pace (was clocking 133-138k in Vijay Hazare and SMAT). Batting wise, slightly less maybe.

Bawa no less with the bat,has those skills was batting up in U19

I'm sure in FCs(the more he plays) he will bat upper than what he had in SMAT

Infact he's someone,we cannot loose out on his batting

Only reason I am keeping Bawa at a lower level with bat against Nitish comparatively is coz Nitish proved himself with bat in IPL and then in BGT against Australia.

 

Bawa, based on his domestics is a level above bowler in comparison to Nitish. He has added swing bowling in his arsenal as well apart from his hit the deck deliveries.

 

Batting wise too he is skillful but Nitish's heroics with bat in BGT give him a strong headstart.

Talking about allrounders...does anyone has info on Madhav Tiwari ? Is he good enough ?

 

He belongs to the city of Kuldeep Sen & Ishwar Pandey, heard he has good ability to bat and bowl medium pace.

Nitish is playing internationals and definitely is a better batsman than a bowler

Bawa too holds quality in batting,he's a rookie one can't compare with someone who has started in internationals

He's someone who is not a 'hack' either ,proper batting,you know

Yeah, Bawa is not a hack. Proper batter.

 

I was using Nitish as a parameter coz age wise they are similar. Hence, eventually they have to compete/co-exist with each other.

Pandya is 31, so he may or may not be fit by 2027 ODI WC due to injuries. We would definitely need bowling allrounders for SA & Zimbabwe pitches.

Yes both are needed in SA to elongate our batting and bowling options,very crucial guys

Need to properly focus on guys like them

[deathmonger]

Bawa was MoM in the final in 22.

 

Every U19 batch has some really good guys.

 

If Reddy and Bawa develop well we will have a wonderful time in SENA.

Bawa's grandpa was part of 1948 Olympics gold winning hockey team. Independent India's first Olympic success.

WTF is BCCI playing at?

 

Either is always Ahmedabad or scheduling Tests in Delhi at the worst time!

And this useless country dreams of organizing Olympics in 10 years time. Indians live like cockroaches, die like cockroaches.

India wouldn't be able to host Olympics in our lifetime. TBH they shouldn't either. It's a white elephant and is used for sports washing. No need to burden yourself without too much benefit of any kind.

For T20s, send the IPL performers and upcoming youngsters. Let's see what Arya, Ashutosh, Vipraj, Aniket Verma do alongside Abhishek, Axar, Iyer as seniors.

 

For ODIs send a young team with no Kohli or Rohit. Let Gill, Jaiswal and Sai be the top order. And make Iyer the captain for both the squads.

[Gollum]

Don't put our players' lives at risk, cancel the BD series. Situation there is worse than Pak, every day some communal flare up/riot, jihadis have a free run, even their local Hindu player Liton isn't spared. 

 

Recent Murshidabad exodus too has a Bangladeshi hand (Jamaat, Shibir), that seals the deal for me. Don't treat that pos country any better than Pakistan. Kanglus must face punitive action for being such a menace.

These T20s are the last T20s before Asia Cup.

I don't think they will experiment much here.

 

Abhishek Sanju might be openers.  Iyer can make a comeback.  Jitesh will be second middle order wk.

Rinku should be dropped but will be given this series I think.  Dube will be there as well. 

 

ODIs are directly after England tour.  Kohli might be rested.  Rohit will lead the side as he only plays ODIs now.
