Pujara will be flop in odis

[skindia]

Dhawan robin and murali vijay rahane these 4 are enough to be tried b4 wc,nohit or pujara in middle order and raina at no 6 solves batting woes.

[GolGappe]

I agree. I don't think he will be very successful in the middle order. The Entitled Mr. Sharma needs to move down from opener's slot if they want to accommodate Pujara.

[beetle]

Putting down Pujara ...aisse hee.Why do people need to put down one player in order to hype someone else? Continue your Uttappa rant...why put down Pujara?

[sandeep]

Ever seen hashim amla bat in ODIs?

[Detonator]

Jinx thread. :hehe:

[vamos_rafa]

No one thought Hashim Amla would be such a gun ODI player. Same can happen with Pujara.

[zep1706]

He would do better than the talented guy.

[Lord]

its not like Rohit is going at 200 SR.his career SR is 78.Pujara can't be much worse even if he tried :cantstop:

Lol. True! What a pathetic for an Indian opener at this era.

[kubrickian]

Better to have Pujara open and Rohit bat at 5 instead of Rayudu. I dont think Pujara will give us quick starts anyway. He will be a steady player who will play the anchor role.

[Haarkarjeetgaye]

may be. but still will be better than Sharma aunty

[maniac]

He will do well but I would play him at No5 not as an opener.That way he can steady the ship when a collapse happens. Also how good is Pujara at rotating the strike else he might find himself in the same issue that Dravid had in the early stage of his career?

You cant play someone expecting a collapse in every game. He should play only if he is right for the position. If he bats at 5, he will be required to hit the big shots in the batting power play and slog overs which is not his natural game. Rohit is a better T20 player and he is good at hitting. He should play at 5.

[cowboysfan]

He has been set up for failure by both captains,why is he not getting a long run?

[Silva]

In non international List A matches Rahane, rayudu, and Rohit Scored a combined 8 centuries in 186 innings. Pujara has got 9 centuries in just 66 innings. Rahane and Rohit show flashes of brilliance but you look at their records and it clearly shows that they have issues in 50 overs cricket. Not sure why rayudu was even selected. With Pujara you would think he deserves a decent shot based on his record alone.

[bowl_out]

I'd even have Ashwin open instead of Rohit Sharma...At least he can play some strokes and get a run a ball 30-40 which would give Virat and other a decent platform to build upon

[MCcricket]

Pujara is a very very good Odi player, he has very good numbers to show and also have seen him in zonal team scoring 120 plus couple of times at a 120 plus s/r and win games single handedly, he can be a match winner like Virat.
