Useless move there was no need to bring Iyer, they should have made Samson captain.Get Vaibhav in place of SKY.

 

They have created a problem when there was none by this idiotic move.

 

Moronic Agarakar pushing his Mumbai agenda.

Yep, people are celebrating but this Iyer move based on online hype is just going to destroy the team.  He has no place in the team if Vaibhav is playing

It's like they put him in the queue afterIPL 2025. And although a lot has changed since then (Samson's clutch emergence, VS emaergence ...), they feel like they must follow the queue. Oh well ... better than SLY continuing.

SKY could have retired on a high, as WC winning captain. Missed opportunity because everyone knew the writing was on the wall. He is struggling even in the local league. He is at that age where hand-eye has completely deserted him and anyway a guy like him isn't Sachin that he can make up for that setback with technique. 

When a player hits age 33, he should be put in a course "why and how to retire gracefully"

I don't think it is age. SKY played 4 world t20s and a 50 over world cup , hardly did anything of note in any of them.

What is the batting order then and where will Iyer bat? Is this how it will pan out with Tilak at no.6 or no place for Tilak?

 

Abhishek

Sooryavanshi

Samson

Kishan

Iyer

Tilak

 

Too many top order players in the squad, LOL.

 

side effect of Impact player rule.. all rounders who can bat are a dying breed

More than allrounders, where are the middle order bats and finishers? Ones like Rinku, Tewatia, Dube, etc. seem to be loosing it and Hardik also seems on decline..

SKY was a very good lucky cpatain. I mean imagine Pandya getting injured for Asia cup final and India opened with Bumrah and Shivam dube and won the match.

Hedge look like a work in progress. Shashank age is gone. Asuotosh is one guy i would experiment. He is one guy who doesn't pre-meditate much.  Would love to see how he goes.

Options have become very limited now for middle order/finisher role.

We never had finishers. We always relied on Pollard, Russell.  They usually would list high strike rates. YOu won't find any indians. First time i saw was DK a couple of seasons back with 183. Other 4 were foreigners.

Unfortunately, only one of Kishan or Tilak will play, given that Shreyas will take the other spot

Shreyas will be a straight swap for SKY right. ONly if Vaibhav comes in somebody has to sit out. Tilak is a good trusted big match player. Would hate for him to go.

Can't one of the current top-order hitters become a finisher?  I mean, there is a logjam of guys who tee off from ball one in PP - why can't one of them become a finisher?  Certainly not a lack of skill. Is it mindset? Non-PP-field? Softer ball?

 

Samson, VS, Kishan, Iyer, Varma, Pandya, Abhishek, Dube, 3 bowlers.

India owes a lot to Dube for delivering in 3 finals much much more than SKy's entire career.  But should he be persisted with above improved ReddY?

T20 is not an area of concern at least till 2027 end. 

But when they pick team for regular T20 series, they will pick  based on who will play in 2028 much like how we selected a team right after 2024 world T20.

Enough time for course correction.

ONly course correction i expect is Dube losing his spot somewhere along the line , Pandya fizzling out to injury also there is a chance we might unearth some new talent.
