Do not think Intnl selections are based on local leagues, its mostly for Ipl scouts to pick up talents from these leagues

KL of 2016-17 was ahead of the curve in T20s. Should have been our opener in that home WC instead of 110 SR Rahane. 

 

Totally forgot about that KL season 

 

Maybe the issue was that he was not opening for rcb then, still it was ridiculous that Yuvraj got picked ahead of him.. and then Manish replaced Yuvraj

 

Kl was scoring at higher sr than Dhawan and Rahane both of home made the squad , you're right ahead of the curve 

 

Why was he not picked, I don't remember 

 

He scored that 50 ball 100 Vs WI not long after the WC 

 

Rahane scored an embarrassing 40 off 35 balls in the SF Vs windies. We scored 190 despite this Virat had to carry the team with his amazing 80 off 45 or similar . Of course it got chased down. Simmons

KL made his T20 debut after the 2016 WC. Was not in reckoning till then.

 

Could have tried Uthappa though

But backing Rahane in white ball till 2017-18 was madness. He was our opener in 2014 as well as 2016 WT20s. Even in 2014 final, he made 3(8), people have forgotten that because of his even more garbage 40(35) knock in Wankhede. Dhawan too was useless in T20s that whole decade.

3 mistakes in this team, i will call them mistakes.

Shubman Gill is a great batsmen but t20 is a game of lapetebaaz batsmen..it is for guys who play SELFLESSLY not selfishly.

Do u think a good batsmen like shubman will be ready to get out and play risky shots from the start. Shreyas should have replaced him or riyan parag should have played ahead of Shubman.

kuldeep yadav is not a T20 bowler , the other leg spinner Ravi Bishnoi. Bishnoi has kinda ruled T20 and only bowler who could challenge him in t20 has been Varun chakravarthy. But are the selectors saying that Kuldeep will be a better success than ravi bishnoi in t20- I dont think that will happen.

Rinku is a good batsmen but riyan Parag is more talented and even Shreyas IYER..selecting rinku ahead of riyan parag and shreyas is not correct.

pacers look very good- BOOM, Arshdeep, Harshit Rana and Hardik

I don't know why Yusuf Pathan never got chances after 2010. Rahane was always gonna be a failure.

Rahane played test cricket like t20s and t20s like test cricket.

It is not arrogance. India's B team is actually stronger than them. Only thing that may work against them is lack of "togetherness". Give them a few matches together they will destroy all three Asian teams over and over. Have you seen the batting of these countries in recent times? THey get trounced by BBL A teams.
