I am a big supporter of Pant. Also rate Jurel. 

 

My point is they aren't looking to develop specialist batsmen. They are also placing bets on the wrong horses like Sai, Padikkal. 

They need to develop andre siddarth and shaik rasheed

Last year I did not like Sudarshan either.

 

But he has improved this year. Wants to bat on and on. Improved his stroke play against pace too, especially his pull shots.

 

Padikkal is not good enough technically.

SS can stay on wicket,but just to showcase his consolidation he forgets to rotate strike or even punish bad balls,that is a norm with most Indian batters

Paddi,yes doesn't belong

Squad full of mediocrities, with Rahul the leading example.

 

Batting is weak

Bowlng is toothless

Fielding is atrocious.

Old. Likely playing XI nearly all 30+.

 

Gambhir and Gill is a boring and losing combination.

Who are the batsmen in the team. Again no Sarfraz , why are  Sai and Jurel still there.

Coz they performed for India A?? Sarfaraz isn't doing well in domestic cricket either.

 

Likes of Yash Rathod should be next in line.

You need five full batsmen plus Pant.Jadeja is your allrounder plus two fast bowlers and two spinners. 

 

It is not a rocket science.

 

These two idiots Gambhir and Agarkar have selected  3 spinners plus Jadeja and 4 fast bowlers for two test series.

 

Why you need two wicket keepers. Jurel is not a batsman.

What has Aqib Nabi done to warrant a place?  He failed in SL for India A where as Gurnoor single handedly won India A the series with a match winning 10 wicket haul.

 

He should get a look in atleast once for his performances in the Ranji. But not at the expense of Gurnoor... There was no point in playing Bumrah this series.

Sundar dropped in his best format. Typical GG :rofl:

 

Needed another batsman. 4 seamers for those conditions seems too much 

Picked up an injury in a record time 1 ball in a format that is not suitable for him.

SL isn't a walkover... Indian team is badly struggling in test cricket. 

Play your best XI in test cricket always if all guys are fit.  If they believe Bumrah is fit he should be in playing XI.  Test cricket is top priority apart from World cups 

 

Nabi will gain nothing from warming the bench anyways.  He should improve his skill set as he doesn't has pace.  Sri Lanka A series should be a learning that Indian test cap isn't cheap you gotta perform against stronger opponents.

 

Saransh did well in Domestic cricket+ India A and he got the call up despite being 33.

Is there a chance padikkal might play ahead of Jurel

Nope he is a top order batter not 6/7.  

They will make sure there is right mixture of left right combos to disrupt Sonal Dinusha and Prabath and DDS.

At least stay in the hunt for WTC F spot till the end. Baad mein nahi qualify kiye toh alag baat hai. But can't be out of the race so early. 2-0 keeps us in the hunt. Then we need a miracle in NZ (at least 1-1). Aus in BGT will be beatable because that is an old side, lots of cricket for them and by the time they come here, they will be jaded.

Four spinners. Wholesale me liye hain kya?

Three will play Saransh/Kuldeep Jadeja Manav.

 

Jadeja

Saransh 

Manav

 

All three can bat and should be starting in Galle.  

Manav is classical left arm spinner, Saransh is offie and Jadeja with his darts and batting.
