If Rohit and Gill open with Kohli coming in at 3, where will Jaiswal bat? This is what's gonna happen. Jaiswal will watch has been "seniors" bat while he sits on the bench.

Kuldeep's lack of batting and fielding ability makes it hard to pick him if he is not on the top of the game. Even 2/3 bad games or not so good games puts his place in ques. its similar to Chahal's situatiion. Shivang is a defensive bowler. a bowler who will get you wickets if the batsmen goes behind him. what ever i saw of him i realised he was trying to spin at the 7th stump and seeking a mis hit from the batsmen. he is going to suceed in IPL but Kuldeep is an attacking bowler , attacks on wickets. BIshnoi is an attacking bowler. Varun is an attacking Spinner. even Harsh dubey and SAI K are attacking spinners and are next in line - both are way better than washington sundar who is a good defensive spinner. shivang is like washie- he wants to avoid giving runs and can be given a chance only in t20. from my side kuldeep/varun/bishnoi/SAI/harsh dubey may be the best spinners for t20 and odi. express bowling 1

But I would expect Iyer to get in ahead of Patidar and also to captain the team. jaiswal should play tests and ODI exactly like Gill. though jaiswal is very goodin t20 too but abhishek/ishan/sooryavanshi/priyansh can fit in t20 as openers. shreyas iyer and patidar should be in t20 and odi set up but not in TESTS. Paddikal - not good enough to play for INDIA in any odi/t20- can be considered in tests. among keepers kerala mallu and ISHAN are the best still for t20 and even in odi either of them should keep ahead of kl rahul. pacers- ashok/mayank are the ones behind harshit rana , prasidh and siraj for odi and tests. vyashak can be considered in t20

Moreover..Shivang can hit some good shots... Bishnoi is a good option too..I heard Ashwin and he said..Bishnoi is good for wkts like Guwahati and Jaipur where ball keeps slight low..and Bishoni will get it skid..similar thing he told when Bishnoi returned and played recently again Nz or Eng(I forgot.).and he got good wickets..and then Ashwin told in other ground he may not be as good..and he got smacked.. so he may be suited for certain wickets per him..

cricspirit Posted April 12 Posted April 12 I think bowlers will have easier time getting in. Bumrah will rest most low profile games. Siraj will be rotated and droppable. Ashok Sharma Karthik Tyagi Prince Yadav Lot of batting positions and batters dont want rest. Still Sooryavanshi is obvious pick. Parag is still Fringe. Can make it. Sameer Rizvi Priyansh Arya Mukul choudhary Will have to update after IPL is over. maniac and deepdynamo 1 1

Given the T20 format is gaining popularity and is fast becoming the most watched and poular format, it directly impacts the earning potential of the players who play in the format. If Jaiswal only plays Tests and ODIs he will end up earning a lot less than say Abhishek or Arya or Sooryavanshi who play only T20 formats due to IPL and advertising/branding. Eventually you'll see Jaiswal being bitter for being sidelined. You have to give players a chance as well to succeed in every format. If Jaiswal himself chooses to not play T20s or not favor the format, it's a different thing but selectors shouldn't decide for Jaiswal what he should be playing and what isn't. They should focus only on his performances and if he deserves to be in the team he should get in. At the moment he's one of the top 2-3 openers in T20 format in the country along with Sooryavanshi and Abhishek so he deserves to be in. If someone like Gill who's nowhere close to Jaiswal was given so many chances to get in T20, it sends a clear message to someone like Jaiswal that there're players who're preferred and he's not in that circle. deepdynamo 1

Its a tough competion… Abhishek Sharma Sanju Samson Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Ishan Kishan Jaiswal only 3 spots available.. Sharma Sooryavsnshi Kishan could be top order imo..even though it means all lefties.. Sword is hanging on SKY and Tilak now.. Iyer is punching his weight.. if Mukul Chaudhary(too early to say) performs similarly 3/4 more times.. they may try him in Tilak’s position in easy bilaterals..that may affect Sanju too as Mukul is lower order wk finsher.. But yes..long way to go for him..its very early express bowling and deepdynamo 2
deepdynamo Posted April 13 Posted April 13 T20 competition is just mind bending. We can have three different Top 6 with similar devastating effects. Not considering Pandya and Axar.

Do not know how Arshdeep's place is questioned in T20 when you do not have even 1 half decent LH Swing pacer with good height . He is not Starc and bit inconsistent . Was very good with yorkers 2-3 years ago but now misses them often. Still has all the tools to succeed in T20. Vk1 1

Arshdeep does that excellently for us

Jurel -Good against spin too and overall looks very compact and sound expressji. India needs to support him for tests and ODIs . Should be a very good investment for future.
