Tilak varma showed zero fluency  like this against average Afghanistan B team bowlers.

THey are not going to drop a player who was the best middle order batsman in the last 2 ICC tournaments based on "he might fail in SA".  Team structure should not be tinkered too much.  Gill literally failed in every important game in his career. Should we drop him based on that?

Gill scoring runs consistently.. iyer also need to perform

Gill failed consistently in all the big games. That is also a fact.

Kela is making full use of a  minnow clash :)

Something which Iyer could not do.  I am not talking about this match alone.  Losing a bilateral series to NZ C team at home is much more humiliating than losing an ICC Final to a top team.  (Iyer was the main reason we lost to NZ C side)

That was test. Even in that series he was travelling at 6.5 for the best part.

Exactly. Thats why Gurnoor should be part of test team. Enough of Prasidh. I still cant forgive him for the hoick when teased by Harry Brook which led To India setting a target of 378 instead of 390 to 395 in the first test.  Jadeja was gobsmacked at the other end..

I don't even remember that series :) SO don't care dude. India has under achieved in tournaments mainly because of these bilateral bullies

KL stole Gill's Hundred.

Iyer is long way from being anything in any format.He cannot absorb presuure of losing early wickets either.

No it's not lol. What are you smoking? No one gives a rat's ass about some random bilateral series.

Gill's fault. He slowed down.

One should care about a home odi series, if he/she is a cricket fan.  Imagine our team getting whitewashed by a no name Afghan team at home, and then saying "I don't really care, afterall who cares about a bilateral series"

Without KL we might have lost this match. How did we give a 48 ball hundred on this pitch. The Afghans bowled better than India.

You mean to say- Losing to minnows at home is acceptable?  Ye kya logic he?

You can't be serious dude. You mean to see that was worse than Nov 19? I don't remember much of that series tbh despite following it then.

I think the odi before this in Dharamsala was the one where India beat NZ in the 2023 wc. There was this fog issue as well which stopped the match . As well as the smirk on umpire Richard Kettleborough when he did not give a wide with Kohli one hit away from his century..suddenly I feel nostalgic and sad.. how did we not win the trophy.. afsos.. marte dam tak..

Home test series sure. Not white ball junk.
