wanted_desi Posted July 5 Posted July 5 With Kohli and Rohit now retired from T20s and Tests, and unlikely to feature in domestic cricket, it’s clear they will be heading into the next ODI World Cup with barely a few innings under their belt. Given how few ODIs we have before the tournament, this isn’t ideal preparation. Meanwhile, we have a wealth of young talent performing consistently in the limited-overs format—why keep hanging on to aging stars whose time is clearly winding down? The transition should have already started. At the very least, it’s time to move on from Rohit. If India does well in England with a fresh core, the case for these seniors only gets weaker. When will the selectors finally take the bold decisions?
Ultimate_Game Posted July 5 Posted July 5 (edited) This should be it for the oldies. Get Jaiswal in for Rohit and Sai in for Kohli at 3, and we're golden. Team for ODIs: Jaiswal Gill Sai Iyer Axar Rahul (wk) Pandya Sundar/Krunal Pandya/Riyan Parag/Vipraj Nigam etc. (basically a bowler who can bat and give you 6-8 overs a match) Harshit/Akash Deep (any pacer who's in form) Bumrah Varun C We don't need retirees and geriatrics who play 5-6 matches every year, don't play domestic cricket, and simply walk into the team. We have enough batters waiting in line. Edited July 5 by Ultimate_Game bowl_out, deepdynamo and nevada 1 2

Really like the look of Jaiswal, Gill and Sai as top 3. Sai is the perfect long term no. 3 for us based on what we saw in SA a few years ago.
cowboysfan Posted July 5 Posted July 5 imo they have one foot of the ODI setup too,we play minimal ODIs as it is.
Lord Posted July 5 Posted July 5 Jaiswal needs to play WC 2027 cricspirit, nevada, Ultimate_Game and 2 others 1 2 2
deepdynamo Posted July 5 Posted July 5 Even Tilak Verma is an excellent bastman in MO. We have enough world class ODI batsman. No need of 40 year Rohit & 38 year Kohli. Gill Jaiswal Sai Tilak Iyer Rahul (wk) Rinku nevada 1
ungboysj Posted July 5 Posted July 5 I think rohit won't play but kohli may sneak in Team I will like Jaiswal Abhishek Gill Iyer ???? Rahul Pandya ???? Chakravarti Arshdeep Bumrah I think these guys will be there We need a dasher at top Abhishek can bowl too We will need one more pace allrounder as tournament is in south africa and azar won't be useful there No 5 needs a genuine bat who can score briskly and be consistent maybe Tilak Verma or if parag can up his game
BacktoCricaddict Posted July 5 Posted July 5 Hopefully not being in tests or T20s leads to out-of-sight-out-of-mind-of-selectors. express bowling and nevada 2

vvvslaxman Posted July 5 Posted July 5 It should be past. There shouldn't be any future. Period. India has way too many batsmen. It is the bowlers that we need to unearth. Not the batsmen. Suryavanshi will totally own these two guys. BacktoCricaddict and nevada 2

They arent surviving 2 more years. Virat will likely retire soon, Rohit (not having won a WC) will hang on as long as possible

I am sorry there were other heroes like SHreyas Iyer, Axar patel that stepped up. This is how he was conning us for 5 years occupying the most critical batting test spot. Nobody is going to miss either of them. Ultimate_Game and New guy 1 1

Gill Jaiswal Sai Tilak Iyer Rahul (wk) Rinku The problem here is you have only 4 bowlers. To play 6 bowling options, we have to play Axar, Pandya + 4 bowlers.
