Indian team for first ODI @ Vadodara

[Cricketics]

Last game which was played at the Reliance Stadium of Vadodara was played between the same two teams in 2007. Australia won that game by 9 wickets. http://www.cricinfo.com/india/engine/match/297797.html Here is my team for the first odi from the squad chose today Tendulkar Sehwag Gambhir Raina Yuvraj Dhoni Harbhajan Mishra Praveen Nehra Tyagi 12th Man = Virat Kohli I am going in with 6 bat + 2 spinners + 3 seamers

[Lord]

Mishra at 7?no way.i'll have Kohli at 7 n drop PK

tics that is too many bowlers man i would get kohli in place of a bowler (tyagi or mishra depending on if the pitch aids spin or not)

Offcourse the batting line up of tailenders can be turned away, Bhajji would be the first batsman among the bowlers as he can bat too. If they are playing just 1 spinner, then offcourse Kohli should play with Dhoni coming as the last known batsman and rest of the players - Raina, Gambhir, Kohli, Yuvraj all coming before him.

Most likely I am telling for sure that Mishra is not playing the first ODI, since it's quite obvious that we won't go with 2 spinners and 3 seamers. But just saying that if they go in with 2 spinners, then go in with that team above.

Tendulkar Gambhir Sehwag Yuvraj Dhoni Raina Kohli Bhaji Mishra Kumar Munaf If I had my way Sree would be in for Kumar and R Sharma for Kohli

Very strong batting line up. India can afford to play 5 specialist bowlers.

[Cricketics]

Also I am sure that Sehwag and Yuvraj won't be bowling any overs since they have just come back from Injury. Especially Yuvraj would never be bowling.

At Vadodara someone has a batting average of 85.6 with 3 centuries in 6 matches !! :adore:

We need to bat deep. Pitches in India guarantees you high scoring game. Dhoni will NEVER drop IS if he is in the squad. So going according to Dhoni's logic, this is most likely the team we will see: Veeru Paaji GG Raina UV Virat MSD Bhajji Mishra/PK IS Nehra

Don't think Yuvraj will play the 1st match. Jadeja may get a chance

Considering Yuvi is not playing in the first ODI my playing XI would be Sachin Sehwag Gambir Kohli Jadeja Raina Dhoni Mishra Tyagi Munaf Nehra reason i kept Raina and Dhoni lower down at no.6 and 7 because we need some powerhitter at the end overs considering our tail is damn weak

[Guest Hiten.]

Why is UV not going to play the first ODI ?

I will remeber this post when R Sharma becomes a legend:finger:

[zubinpepsi]

tbh, KT has been sprouting so much nonsense of late.. its tiring..

[Cricketics]

I will remeber this post when R Sharma becomes a legend:finger:

I have no doubt that he might become a big player in future, but to call Kohli less then him after seeing Kohli do well in limited opportunities being given to Kohli, is just pathetic.
