Sundar is the most pointless white ball cricketer I have seen. Aise sample ko select karenge, toh haarenge hi na. Thought they learnt the lesson after shellacking against RSA in the WC. 

 

Also making Iyer the captain after what they saw with MI, crazy decision making. 

Matches like today is the reason why I don't trust Iyer's batting.He is too loose with his shot selection for a guy who is supposed to stop collpases if openers fall early..

Jaiswal at #4 is a better option for SENA conditions at least.

They are making the same mistakes as they did with Jadeja. Woh abhi tak gaali khata hai.

 

I doubt Sundar can even match CT 2013 or WC 2019 semi like performances. Offspinners are extinct in LOIs now,

Had our top order not contributed heavily with the bat, we would hv got whitewashed to mighty Afghans as well (earlier this month).  Our non-existent middle order (Iyer & Sundar) would hv ensured that.   We already saw Iyer struggling to put bat on ball in the 1st two ODIs.  In the 3rd ODI, while chasing a low total, he survived 2 to 3 close caught behind calls on short balls before getting to a double digit score.

Iyer is yet to prove he deserves to be part of our main XI. Seedha captain bana diya usko, he has a powerful lobby behind him. 

 

Less we talk about Sundar, the better. He won't crack the XIs of minnow teams.

Indian captaincy duty is a poisoned chalice. Very few are able to handle the pressure and still contribute runs/wickets at their usual level.

Jadeja was at least a proper athlete, gun fielder. 

 

This Sundar has the fitness of Ashwin, without 10% of his skills.

Don’t mind it.  
 

Because it’s Ireland and because it’s most likely a blip. 
 

Plus, if we had to lose, can’t think of a nation I would mind less than Ireland.

Winning run since 2023 ended. India had won everything since then - world cups, asia cups, all bilateral series.

Lost every other test series too except few

Tilak Varma may have jumped the shark and we are only now realizing it,dude has been **** ever since his serious injury and these next 6 games is make or break for him because once he gets dropped he will never play for India again.

Even my normie friend who barely watches cricket said Tilak seems defensive and unsuited for T20, given we have players like Vaibhav waiting in the wings. How can the selectors not notice his run a ball SR? He has shown good composure in a few winning chases, but needs to be more than a par score chasing specialist to justify a spot as a specialist T20 batter.

While batting barring Abhishek was absymal...  But no team was chasing 180+ with that huge leg side boundary and pitch getting slower and Irish actually bowling to the field.

 

Iyer admitted that Indian bowling and planning was poor to let them hit straight sixes and boundaries.  This Explains he is v poor tactically.

No wonder PBKS used to concede over par totals under his captaincy and those bowlers were not that awful to begin with

Saim Ayub is more dangerous bowler than him..Usman Tariq.. asikander raza..Getard Coetzee.. they all bring variations in play..if you are an off spinner bring some variations..Ashwin got them too..

Should be kicked out of white ball squads if your batting is average and you are easy spinner without variations.. put some hard work man..if you cant work on variations then bye bye
