India still hasn't played its optimal T20 lineup


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Post 24 WC a real good batting lineup emerged across the series that followed. All that was required was Bumrah to come back.

 

But when Bumrah did in the 25 AC, Gill came back too and that disrupted everything as Samson had to play out of position and that also meant Rinku got kicked out.

 

Now Gill is out but Tilak got injured. Maybe in the 4th or 5th match we see the best lineup possible.

 

Abhishek
Samson
Tilak
Surya
Hardik
Dube
Rinku
Axar
Arshdeep
Varun
Bumrah

India needs atleast 5 players to be in form. Kishan is in great form. But whenever ball is on the off side he just doesn't have the same fluency. He is kinda poking.

Yeah as soon as Kiwis started to bowl outside off to him he started poking at it with no footwork..

Couldn't generate power and weight transfer to loft over the infield on off side.

Age old Kishan probelm, the lack of off side game

It's his height, partially. T20 favours taller guys with long levers.

Try practicing long handle then,

Gilchrist although was Greatest of GOAT WK batsmen,used to bat with somewhat long handle despite being tall himself,gave him quite enough room

These guys don't try to innovate to compensate for their limitations always depending on other factors 99% of the time

It's not easy when you have grown up holding the batting in a particular way. Even a minor change and you might be sacrificing a strength to plug a weakness. 

 

I'll blame Agarkar and GG for selecting this guy. One SMAT should not be grounds to select him for a World Cup

What a waste that Kuldeep has played himself out of the 11,I doubt he will get a game in the WC unless we have an injury.

 

He will get in Colombo/Chennai in place of Arshdeep.

I want Parag in place of Axar and Shreyas as an substitute for tilak in case if its flat pitch. Also if possible we can get rid of sky somehow before wt20

Parag cannot be 5th bowler. Don't mind him in place of Dube at some point but not Axar.

 

Axar's bowling is needed,

Axar bowling is.risky though. Also his batting in death overs is poor against pace.

Pathetic attitude as a cricketer

 Extremely slow moving. Zero big hitting skills. Watch Kimappa Kimber and uthappa YouTube exclusive segment on kuldeep on what has changed in his bowling.

Still decent for a 5th bowler.

 

No one better for his spot.

 

He does a lot of things well and that allows India a lot of flexibility.

 

Axar, Dube etc are India's monkey wrenches

Him and Dube can play niche roles. Moment that role changes they struggle . Axar is effective when a left arm spinner is on.

I wish they would let abhishek bowl more in this series,playing with just 2 spinners in india is not ideal.

Axar himself get thrashed. Parag bowling in t20 against bd and sl was better than even main spinners for whatever little he played.

Parag is quite smart operator,can bowl wrist spin and offspin both bit like Tendulkar 

Don't count out his bowling and Axar's bowling that dependable either to compensate for him,he is getting into that bits and pieces territory too

This side needs Parag desperately with quality that he brings in,has performed in IPL ,FC,List A in the past , unfortunately injured currently

Personally believe, this is close to the perfect playing XI. Maybe Iyer over Sky but that could happen after the world cup.

 

Abhi
Samson
Tilak
Sky
Pandya
Dube
Rinku
Axar
Arshdeep/ Kuldeep ( depending on conditions & opposition)
Bumrah
Varun

Kishan
Rana
Washi

Parag is a great outfielder in the mould of Rahane
