gattaca Posted March 9 Posted March 9 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Lord said: yes big call to drop Gill. Kudos to selectors It was course correction. Why did they even bring gill in to T20 ? Kohli and Rohit retired two years ago. Samson has been in the team for two years scored three hundred and suddenly gill sneaks in. If gill had a scored few good scores Samson would have been dropped. It was a terrible strategy to bring someone in just for World Cup. Edited March 9 by gattaca nevada, Ultimate_Game and sorak 1 2

They don’t have a strategy. They pick players and hope it sticks. They need to trust players and let it be. Lord 1

But at the same time selectors need to be called out for derailing the team by forcing Gill into the team when the team was fully set. If they had to bring in someone, they should've brought in Jaiswal and Parag into the mix but they tried to bring in Gill who's a misfit in T20s. BCCI manufactured the crisis and fixed it by bringing in Samson and Kishan. nevada and sorak 2

It was a terrible strategy to bring someone in just for World Cup. Gill was the incumbent. Due to test commitments, they gave Samson-Abhishek a run who did really well. Anyways, glad to see the final was won by the Abhi-Samson jodi who were so vital in the 2 years prior.
