Actually even after WI game we had slight chance if we beat SL by big margin. That ofcourse didnt happen.

Jadeja's strike rate is 75 in the last 3 years in ODIs lol Consistently below 80 last 5 years.  He is our "finisher"

 

He finishes our hopes of winning the match for sure. Generally runs his batting partner out and then loses the game. He's the lower order version of Kohli.

 

Jadeja has been playing for 15+ years now and yet to win or finish a single match with the bat. The only ones he can manage is when RR reqd is on the lower side and all he has to do is bat normally to win the match. He's not someone who can win a match when reqd RR goes beyond 7-8 an over.

It is a simple stat that can easily be pulled up when you assess the performance of a player. CHeck his MOM awards. He has won 12 of them.  Last one was in 2023 against under-strength Australian team. Before that it was in 2018. That is roughly 6 years back.  In 2018 vs Bangladesh vs Windies he won a couple of MOM awards. Before that it was 2014. FOr good measure Chahal won 4 man of the matches during that phase

He's poor in shorter formats. With his bowling going down, he shouldn't be anywhere the team. Axar is much better and I would go with some other all-rounders like Nitish Reddy, Ramandeep Singh, or even Riyan Parag and Rinku Singh ahead of him.

Looks like we simply can't get rid of this bits and pieces rubbish cricketer in white ball cricket

 

A fake all rounder who is not good enough to bat at #7 or make it as the main spinner at #8,  there has been no cricketer who has been given such a long rope for increasingly mediocre returns. 

 

India anyway usually carry 3 spinners , one spinner too many, to ICC events .

 

But this time it looks like we have added a fourth spinner just to include this phantom supposed allrounder. 

 

 

Nikhil…torture wont end. Fraud, nri, fatty, kela… these effers r leaches. KL what has he ever done in his entire career to deserve selection?? Now he skips domestic cuz of “niggles” :cantstop:

And he didn't play the year before that.  And this rubbish guy is an "automatic" selection at #7 .

Couldn't agree more with this thread... The squad needed another paceman instead... If not Siraj because of form then Harshit in main 15

nah he's only usefulness is in if team loses quick wickets like game v NZ in WC.  Even there not consistent.

 

Big problem selectors don't seperate between formats

Why is pace bowling getting undermined these day?


In Aus they picked three when we clearly needed four, similarly here they have picked a total of 3 pacers for a tournament, out of which one just came back from injury and the other one is recovering.

 

I like the selection of Harshit Rana though, hooefully he does well vs England and gets in ahead of Arshdeep, Sirajs non-selection was also the need of the hour.

Substitute fielder is the only responsibility where he can shine. That's it

Agree about Jadeja but MOM is never a good indicator. They are subjective and often given to superstars and batsmen.

 

E.g in group game v Aus in WC Jadeja turned the game with a 3fer but Rahul got it. Even in the finals Pat Cummins should have got it for getting Iyer and Kohli, two centurions of SF. Made the chase very easy which Head capitalised on.

No, KL deserved that. That was a massive ragging track .   A 3fer on that track doesn't have the same weightage as it does on a flat surface.

It was under dew and we were chasing a very low score thanks to that spell. Same in the finals, chasing just 240 made it easier for Head

Dew came in much later. KL held that innings together until the dew came.

Yeah but he could do that as there was no RR pressure. Zampa was not getting much help that day anyway.

Jadeja, Sundar and Axar are only getting picked ahead of some attacking spinners is due to our lack of confidence in top 6. Even though ODI is a different format and Virat and/or Rohit could actually score runs, the fear of failing means they have to pack the side with all-rounders. They sacrificed picking another pacer just for that reason. Rohit himself said there aren't any good pace bowling all-rounders. I don't know how long we are going to keep masking the shaky/poor top 6 by picking bits and pieces cricketers. I would rather have attacking batters like Rinku Singh, Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma etc If they wanted stability they could have picked Nair as well. Having 3 finger spinners in the squad just because they could bat is ridiculous. I have nothing against Jadeja but he is mostly being picked to arrest a collapse in the batting. He can stonewall pretty good but when it comes to hitting, he isn't your best bet. I know he can get some big hits away but not consistently. Rohit/GG once again picking a squad to mask a poor top 6 picked. All eyes will be on Virat and Rohit. If they fail in CT, they should do the Honorable thing and retire.

Honorable thing :hysterical:

 

Kohli hasn't done the honorable thing for more than 5+ years now. And majority of Rohit's career is "dishonorable" :giggle:
