SR in the 80s, averages 50+. this alone makes him better loi batsmen than most of the ones in our current batting lineup rocky keeps changing IDs but keeps writing the same tripe :headshake:
Strike rate of 80 vs likes of vinnai, dinda, mithun da is nothing special. Besides we all saw what a sensation he was for kings punjab

some people will just blindly hate without seeing that we have an useless ODI opener whose job is to see off the new ball and score decent amount of runs for the big guns down the order. either rahane or pujara are perfect for that than nohit

In an age where 300+ is par score scoring a 80(100) is nothing special especially because he cant accelerate at the end & we lack someone who can bash 40(25-30) to make up his inability to accelerate.

300+ par score scoring where? only in subcontinent and not all the time we have kohli and dhoni, if u add jadhav and raina at the bottom, more than enough players as big hitters down the bottom.

^ yep the part-time bowling of srt, sg, sehwag was a huge help in Test and odis! they dont make 'em anymore in india! and srt andsehwag were legendary in batting!
Come to think of it, most of our famous test wins have had these part timers chiming in. Sachin in Eden and Adelaide. Even Sehwag, the way he got gilly at Perth was brilliant. We don't have such players these days.

I rate rahane a better opener than puj. Can rotate strike & go over the top if needed. In addition is a gun fielder. 2: someonewho can take on the bowlers early on like dhawan/ robin. 3:kohli 4 & 5: someone who can take quick singles & accelerate.eg nohit,jadhav, even hackdu can hit some big ones. 6: dhoni: can only accelerate in last over. 7: Jaddu. He's not the best striker going around. So can't make up for a slower batsman. Pujara in odis will be a disaster. He can't hit out if need be. He will just keep eating up dot balls & put pressure on batsman to follow. Besides he is much more essential to our test squad.

i would go for rahane too over rohit, but still believe pujara in form will be better than both. however, next world cup is in Aus. going by our recent ODi experiences overseas, we need people at the top who can see off new ball and score decently. neither dhawan, rohit, or rahane did that job well. you can't talk of acceleration in the end if you are losing wickets quickly in the beginning.

Pujara should try to go the Laxman way and forget about ODI's. In the long run that would be the best for him. 80+ strike rate with the inability to accelerate in the slog overs is not going to take him anywhere.
