Lord Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Just now, Ultimate_Game said: IMO to play the kind of cricket we're trying to, need to replace Bishnoi with Parag. When Bumrah comes in, he can cover a lot of cracks but we can't have someone like Shami walking in with 2-3 overs to go. at no. 9 it has to be Bumrah Manucrick 1 Link to comment

Sooda Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 TM need to bowl him more They could drop Bishnoi and play a genuine paceman if Abhishek was given more confidence in his bowling even a tidy two over burst would be all we need. Hardik can't be bowling with new ball in power play Lord 1 Link to comment
Ultimate_Game Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 27 minutes ago, Lord said: at no. 9 it has to be Bumrah Arshdeep. My team would be... Abhishek Jaiswal Pant/Samson (wk) (if powers that be want Samson) Tilak Rinku Parag Pandya (c) Axar Arshdeep Bumrah Varun C You've 3 pace options in Bumrah, Arshdeep and Bumrah which is enough for WT20 in India. And you've 5 spin options in Varun C, Axar, Parag, Abhishek and Rinku. You bat till 9 and even Arshdeep can slog at 9. This team will allow you to play aggressively right through and barely any specialists like SKY. Link to comment

BCCI doesn't care about results. Gill will only be back if he scores well in CT. Remember he got dropped in Australia for NKR. Abhi unlike Jaiswal will employ a PR as well. Link to comment
Texan Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Good to see Abhishek not just chilling after such an impactful innings and also contributing with the ball. Link to comment

Suhaan Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) 2 hours ago, express bowling said: Was waiting for this fearless, non-stats padding mindset from an Indian batter after Sehwag and Pant. Ability is there too. My biggest happiness is that he can hit 145 k+ pacers with confidence and ease. 2 hours ago, singhvivek141 said: Abhishek has this boom or bust game, there will be instances where he will fail as well. That's where our commentators are in general fans will have to keep faith. He is there for quick starts and not to score hundreds for stats. Selfless players are the need of the hour. 1 hour ago, Lord said: Need to back him thoroughly. Failures will come and there he'd need all the backing Can be our Head He is one guy alongwith Jaiswal who should not be disturbed,their usp lies in their sanctity,here I mean there originality Don't train them to be statpadding g@@ndu like their predessers,infact Rohit also looked like million dollars after a long long time of "starting slowly and then accelerate "stupidity in the last two WCs Besides being lefty,they have ability to score upfront India will perhaps never have another Sehwag in near time if we continue pussyfyinh guys like Jaiswal,Abhishek and even Pantatunga Edited February 2 by Suhaan express bowling, singhvivek141, Ultimate_Game and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment
tapandrun Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 This was a proper t20i bowling line-up good to see Abhishek and Tilak able to hit 4/6 against some genuine pace. Read some poster asking for Abhishek's inclusion in ct25, do not think that makes any sense right now, let him cement his place in T20is first. No need to do what they did with SKY by bringing him in test and odis, Ind still can not give a ODI debut to jaiswal. Abhishek's approach is to hit 4/6 every ball he faces and tries to make his own length, this may not be a successful approach in odis. And specially when captain and vice-captain are openers than it will be same situation where TM and captain would not know the role and position for Abhishek. Link to comment

Sgattick10 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Have been a fan of Abhishek since under 19 WC. Huge talent, doesn't care about milestones (not yet) good bowler and okayish fielder should be a permanent member of our T20 team. BacktoCricaddict, express bowling and Manucrick 3 Link to comment
Chamsi Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 15 hours ago, Texan said: Exactly. Each format should have its own team. No point in trying him in other formats unless he improves his FC or List A records. I disagree and Dhoni has mentioned that India should have one captain. If Gill is the captain, then what sense does it make to have Abhi and Sanju open. Gambhir has mentioned that all-format players are crucial and so Gill and Jaiswal should open. They need a solid opening pair in SENA for all formats. Link to comment
Chamsi Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 10 hours ago, express bowling said: We need a 2nd frontline pacer. Harshit should replace Bishnoi. In fact, both of them should replaced because Bumrah eventually comes in. So Arshdeep, Harshit and Bumrah instead of our spinners. Idea is to hunt in pairs and they can do it like the spinners are. They work for T20s but will fail in ODIs n Tests and so having one team across formats is crucial for players to represent India year round. Link to comment
Nikhil_cric Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 It's that batting depth until #8 that is allowing him to express himself with such confidence. The moment Sundar was replaced with Dube, this batting lineup found its teeth. And this happened even in South Africa. Under Kohli, we kept playing 1 batter short and our LOI cricket suffered, most notably in 2021 when we had Jadeja batting at #6. And again in the World T20 last year, we saw how having Jadeja was absolutely useless with the ball. An extra batter would have allowed that team to be even more dominant . tweaker and Lord 1 1 Link to comment
