Virat Kohli rested for Sri Lanka T20s

[Yami]

I do not think India win if MSD came out to bats instead Youvraj.

[sscomp32]

No kohli. Maybe BCCI wanted SL to have some chances for a fair fight.

No yadav is such a massive relief. No  and urge to strangle someone. 

Negi selected. One more name goes out from uncapped list of IPL fantasy.  

[Adi_91]

Virat rested makes a lot of sense. But then even Rohit also deserved a break.

So, looks like Kumar has another chance to prove himself. I hope he comes good, else I think its curtains for the World T20 and possibly longer from the team

[Adi_91]

I still don't thing Rahane  fits in present T20 Team

Should have tried few more players but what it looks like we will see 10 out of 11 in Asia and t20 wc that played in AUSt20's

Dhoni was impressed with Bumra since he can bowl yorkers something that we lacked over years

Will miss virat but its good orelse he ll play football with lankans and no one will get to bat 

And yeah, there is then a chance that Yuvi and Pandya can get to bat as well since Virat is rested. 

[Yami]

While virat is rested , he  need to figures out new strategy ,to how to make runs and not get out in single digit too oftenly in Asia cup and big event which will be in India ( I think he likes to make runs but not as good as Australia )

Pity..would have preferred to see the arrogant mofo's reaction on field when the young brigade of lions beat the day lights out of india in their own back yard..

[adi B]

Wtf is booby doing in the squad? Do they want him to score a t20 ton as well? Should have tried a new pacer

Rahane and Bhuvi are clearly misfits for T20s and Bhuvi seems misfit for International Cricket overall.

Alright BCCI respects human right violation .

[Mosher]

Umesh rightly dropped from the T20 squad. Umesh bowled poorly in Australia. But what has Bhuvi done to deserve a place in the squad? He was equally poor in Australia. Selectors need to be consistent in their decisions. Could have gone for another fast bowler.

I think he has been selected based on his past reputation in the T20 format. Umesh has been poor in LOis overall.

They should gone by current form instead of past reputation. Bk has been neither accurate nor taking wickets for a long time now. Totally lacking in confidence.

Selectors should have made him play in domestic cricket to work on his bowling and get better.

[The Realist]

In his last 5 limited overs games Trundler Koomar has been smashed for 350 runs and taken 4 wickets.

Well done selectors, well done

Yeah. Knowing Dhoni, he may play him in the T20s against SL. I hope he is not smashed. But then if he is, the good news is he may probably not make it to the World T20.

[Crookbond]

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 

Mann was bought as a cover for injured Rahane. Rahane comes back, Mann goes out.

[G_B_]

wise to rest kohli.

 

Yuvi and Pandya need prove themselves.

[bowl_out]

Wise to rest Kohli.. Should have rested Rohit as well, and tried another opener.. Or had Rahane, Dhawan open in all matches..

Also, don't understand the logic of 2 lefties... Should have had Amit Mishra in the squad instead

lol @Trundler Koomar
