Dhawan is not good enough, why has he been picked?

Not good enough in T20 and ODI's overseas. Still looks a different class in tests though,a watered down version of Sehwag but will take it

this is not the same guy who scored a hundred in nz, almost two hundreds! his confidence is low, not a matter of technique. when he's in form, he has a nice lengthy run. we should be patient and not forget what he's done recently. still, id play rahane against australia and give dhawan a short break to recoup.

Appreciate the good performance from players, but don't make too much of a bad run of any playe rin this tournament. This is twenty20. As much as it needs some good skill sto hit all the time, this is the worst format to put a player's career stats in front. Let's just not compare Dhawan the twenty20 player he has been so far here in this tournament, to Dhawan the test/ODI bat. He is far better.

Neither of our openers are, TBH.

A year ago dhawan looked the Business but now he plays like a hack. Not sure what has gone wrong with his game so quickly.
he had a decent asia cup and a series in NZ. I still think shikar is not 100% sure opening with rohit. Looked more comfortable opening with Rahane in the asia cup v Afghanistan

He is. Remember how many single they were milking of them? There were barely any boundary for the first 15-20 overs. That's how you bat with the left and right hand combination at your advantage.

yup. I still think the best solution for India is to axe Yuvi and open with Rahane and Shikar with Rohit at 4. But looks like we might be stuck with two non performing entities, Yuvi and Shikar. Its affecting the Indian fielding as well. Yuvi has dropped a few catches and Shikar missed one of the easiest runouts I have seen.

Yes they don't look all that happy batting together - we can try something different vs. aus since we are already in the knockouts now.
we wont its not the msd way

Playing Devil's advocate Rohit does not rotate strike the first 2 or 3 overs- instead hogging strike and taking his time to settle down. This has served us well in the last 2 matches but Shikhar I think is just trying to hit the ball out of park every time he gets 1 or 2 balls to play. He has been terrible & this may not be an excuse but it affects him IMO.

I would not say that. His strike rate thus far in the tournament is about 83. So he has taken a few balls to settle down. @ethos I feel Kohli will take us through.
