Shedge- they are trying to get some backup for Pandya\NKR who are usually injured

Ashok Sharma- He performed well in domestics and hasnt been too bad in IPL either..he is an express pacer and we need such X factor to be groomed..batting potential too i sthere..if you mean compared to Mohsin khan..then I like him too however he is too fragile..let him play a full season injury free

 

Cant say much about Bishnoi..we could have tried some other spinners like Punja or Shivang..though they are very raw..

Could've preferred a specialist in place of Shedge. Yeah in comparison mohsin offers better and is one of the top 3 pacers in the country in this format. Bro bishnoi is not even the best in Indian leggie in his ipl team!

 

But I hope they do well.

We have won and happy to see Mayank abd Soorya oerforming well..

However..concerning for me is other batters..

Dont forget we have young and inexoerienced bowlers..There are couole of good batters in Zim like Brian Bennett..

if our bowlers have slight off day or get attacked..and may let them score 150+ due to inexperience..then

 

if unfortunately Svanshi gets out early as he plays a high risk game..other batters may lose that match for us..

 

I’ll give a pass today to A Sharma who got his hand injured during a catch attempt..but others also looked uncomfortable against spongy bounce..

 

Hopefully our bowlers keep bowling well..

Had my worst knee jerk reaction moment yesterday when I watched Ngarava bowl his first 2 balls.

 

First ball climbed from good length and swung away from LHB at pace. I thought, " Wow !  This guy is better than Bumrah. ".

 

Next ball slipped down the leg without bounce or zip and the keeper collected after 2 bounces and it was a wide. And I thought, " Nah ! This guy is worse than Dube "

SKY was the best minnow basher I have seen across the globe for a while.

Never went missing against Minnows.  Bashing Minnows is a lost art these days 

 

Saved us even vs Netherlands in that 2022 T20 WC

Did he had any concussion in between ? Memory loss can happen due to that.
