Virat Kohli rested for Sri Lanka T20s

[Ankit_sharma03]

Virat Kohli has been rested for the three T20 internationals against Sri Lanka in February. Left-arm spinner Pawan Negi received his first call up to the India side.

Squad MS Dhoni (Captain), Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, Manish Pandey, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Ashish Nehra, Harbhajan Singh, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Pawan Negi.

Pawan Negi is a good addition.

Big hitter down the order and left arm spinner.

[Ankit_sharma03]

They shud have rested Rohit , ashwin as well

that wud have given bhajji also game time and also cud have added irfan also 

Bhuvi has been an xcellent t20 bowler but his confidence is so slow .

Trundler Koomar

How many more chances does he need to prove he's useless? 

[tweaker]

Like Australia,Indian selectors should have rested some more players.

[The Realist]

So Mann who was part of the Aus T20s is just dropped from this squad without having sniffed a game 

The logic of the selectors

Agree.

[Mosher]

We would have seen a few new faces if India had lost the T20 series in Australia. The team for WT20 is more or less decided now. Shami will probably be the only change if he returns from injury.

BK is a poor pick. He is bowling crap for a long time now and really low on confidence. Would have liked to see Iyer, Kuldeep and Aaron given a chance.

[sandeep]

Guddu Mann got to 2 play 2 ODIs, not sure if you seen him toss up lollipops worse than Boycott's Mother-in-law.  

I don't understand why Amit Mishra is being ignored, and why another left-arm spinner who can bat a bit?  Why not a leggie?  Mishra/Chahal deserved a look-in.

4 and 6 saves yograj's (Indian fast bowler in the 70's ) son.

Well pawn Negi will plays at Ranchi for sure,india must need him ( he has great ability to scores runs in death over ) somehow I do not likes HP

Whose tendency to give extra 1.3 over (wide specialist ) to the opposition bother me.it is really shame India need services of Dhawan and Rohit vs one of weakest t20 team but India do not want defeats anymore before big events.I think CHAND  and shreyes should bE VS LANKA

But selector preserve them for long race in the future.

 

Selector plays  game with yovraj and Mann, both never suited in t20i game at all.and now mann rightfully dropped selector keep him for so long in the  of 15 just like Naman

[Shivaji bhonsle]

How does Rahane keeps getting a chance in t 20s? lol. He is not cut out for t 20s. Should have selected either Iyer or  Deepak hooda.

[Shivaji bhonsle]

Oh bhuvi is there... Damn it....Captain cool strikes again... lol.

[Ankit_sharma03]

Also if jadeja and yuvi was already there, y not try kuldeep yadav and y drop mann

Pawan negi's bowling isnt tht gr8

and yea y do we need rohit n dhawan against such week sl attack.

[Yami]

Pawan 41 not out highest scores in 56 t20 but his 46 wits good to get selection, his ability to hit 4 when its matter most,i seen him bats he scores very fast

 

Plus recently nz and WESTINDIES selects their world 20/20 sides with 3 spinner which inspires our selectors to includes negi til Feb.

15 and replace  by amit, Mishra for the big events.negi's selection gave extra pressure to carom ball king,i think India will drops herby and Pandya for world 20/20(asia cup next )

[zen]

* Could have rested Rohit too and given Mann an extended run

* May be tried someone like Aaron instead of Bhuvi  

[Yami]

Rishi gone

Mann gone

Virat rested

Umesh gone

Indian selectors are cowards otherwise they can selects other than rahane plus dares to rested both shikhar and rohit

Chand ,uthapa,parthiv are better choice for Asia cup plus Chand,shreyes should plays vs lanka

first time Asia cup will plays in t20 format and not 50/50

[Yami]

Mann not suitable for limited over but he must in multiday game.so I think selectors plays game or some dark forces stops him selection at right time.he should play test by now but he misses bus.too late for youngster.

[vishalvirsingh]

why BHuvi...he is neither swinging nor taking wickets...

[Yami]

Bhuvi gave average 70/90 runs in 10 over spell, now he will definitely more expensive in 4 overs blast plus he is still zero in batting

You need better all rounder who can make runs in death over but big India not have no more robin Singh .I would like R.P.SINGH instead

Bhuvi,

R.p not good batsman but has tons of experience just like nehra.

[Yami]

Well does not make senses whom you selects if ball not swings at all at some venue

Just like Auckland ,were Pakistan late order failed yet wicket was 350/350 there.

February 3rd. Australia will plays vs NZ at same ground (290 vs 265 for 7)( D/L METHOD ; nz vs Pak)

 BMac,warner,guptill,Williamson and smith has good fun in 50/50 over 1st Odi,.aus.do not even need

Khawaja til test match but India surely escapes minus Warner and minus starc,plus minus smith.

Some unknown TYe,gifted 19 in last over and India celebrate just like, they are world champion.
