Lone Wolf Posted June 23 Posted June 23 20 minutes ago, vvvslaxman said: We have crossed that stage. Vaibhav is a box office star now. BCCI is never giong to let go of that opportunity. Even a usual low key A game got a lot of attention even full match coverage because of him. RR matches had boost in viewership thanks to Vaibhav. Even during NZ vs England series they weree talking about how English audience cannot wait to see him in action. They won't kill the golden goose as well. He will likely be eased into the set up. My guess is they will give him both these Irish games and see from there. This Irish attack is very rookie level for this series so golden opportunity for Vaibhav to push his case.
Suhaan Posted June 23 Posted June 23 2 hours ago, vvvslaxman said: Batting order will change mostly due to Vaibhav because if Vaibhav comes in everyone except Abhishek will go down one position. Samson might move to 4. Or ABhishek himself might move to no.3 if Samson opens. That will push Kishan further down. Iyer is a straight swap for SKY. Can't see that,you will see someone getting benched from the WC winning side

Shedge is likely replacement Reddy is turning out to be even more injury prone than Pandu. Good! I would also bring in Madhav Tiwari for that role and have a face-off between Shedge and Tiwari for that all-rounder role. Give half the matches to both or or play them both!

Tiwari should be part of India A set up first. Let's see how Shedge goes. His bowling is work in progress but his finishing skills are what makes him interesting tweaker 1

Just sit out Abhishek for Ireland series or Rotate Abhi and Kishan. VS is LH high strike rate batter.. we are ok against Ireland without Abhi or Kishan. Need to test those middle order players. Iyer, Tilak, Dube etc.
cricspirit Posted June 23 Posted June 23 TV ads for the series have VS as the prime attraction. He is already bigger than everyone in that team as far as Marketing and box office draw goes. For all his strike rate Abhishek was never this kind of Box office star. Not even 50%. Kid is bigger than every T20 Indian player before he starts. He's like Usain Bolt of cricket right now. Manucrick, Rightarmfast, tweaker and 3 others 1 5

If Sooryavanshi is a success in the series, it would be a golden chance for selectors to replace Rohit with him in the WC. Nobody would cry over fatso with all the attention on Sooryavanshi. cricspirit and tweaker 2

tapandrun Posted June 23 Posted June 23 (edited) On 6/22/2026 at 2:16 PM, cricspirit said: Sooryavanshi will definitely play. No Mhatre is not better than Jaiswal. He has no shot in ODI ahead of Jaiswal. he has to wait. Jaiswal can bowl.. They are not throwing the ball to him... He has dropped some catches recently but he is not a bad fielder. Rohit's obsession will lead us to lose 2027 most likely. He will not get anything and spoil it for other players. Jaiswal was decent leg-spinner for a part timer, he is tall so controlling length is not that hard for him. Should atleast bowl few overs in IPL. May be can roll his arms in test just to get the confidence going. A batter who can bowl even 2 overs of leg-spin will be force multipler in t20is and 4-5 overs in Odis add alot to the side Edited June 23 by tapandrun express bowling and cricspirit 2
cricspirit Posted June 23 Posted June 23 I hope Sooryavanshi smashes English to pulp. What a sight that will be. Even in one match. Sooryavanshi got 175 in U19 final. He can play ODI. Format is non issue. express bowling 1

Right now he can be only a wild card in Odi wc , but Ind batting does not have that kind of depth where they can be confident of losing 1 wkt of say 10-15 runs. Edited June 23 by tapandrun
Suhaan Posted June 24 Posted June 24 Meanwhile BCCI also needs to manage kids workload,too much cricket for his age Don't justmilk hm,use him wisely ,he is still a tender kid,rotate him as well No need to play him continuously,let his muscles mature in the run via proper management,let him be in the loop with proper medical attention Adolescent age needs extreme medical and mental attention in pro sports cricspirit, cowboysfan, Manucrick and 3 others 1 5
vvvslaxman Posted June 24 Posted June 24 What do we have to do to get the role of the guy standing on far right. Lot of support staff.

Games in Ireland have been sell outs since last 2, tours. This ground has much smaller capacity (upto 6k) than Malahide Dublin. Will be interesting to see how Sky sports does a build up on him. Goras are busy with FIFA so most interested will be Indians Edited June 24 by Lone Wolf

Never seen people waiting for a player to make his debut like what we're seeing with Sooryavanshi. And it's not just Indians, it's worldwide cricket audience, especially the English who're waiting to see him make his debut. cricspirit and Rightarmfast 2
