Sandeep, of course he has faded, but still believe he has something to offer. Importantly he looks at ease with not being the main performer. The histrionics have gone.

People often confuse their own 'relationship' with a past-his-prime player with his suitability for selection.

Very true.  And agreed he fits in the team balance, with his useful bowling option, and wealth of experience, and enough hitting ability still leftover.  Just can't expect a 30 ball 70 like the 2007 Semifinal against Oz.  

We will need a handful of such innings from the team if we are to go deep in this tournament...

It was atrocious to allow CM Momota continuing her election campaign in an ICC event. It was shameful of CAB to have all these showbazi in a league match... Might've resulted in reduced overs. I agree India Pak matches are high voltage but this is too much hype... Every TV channel hyping it to cash in and TRPs...

The pitch was pathetic. The ball spinning square in the initial overs itself. These are sub standard pitches as far as ICC events goes.

ICC should investigate about the pitches and about that election campaign ceremony.

People don't seem to realize that the rain and dampness made the ball grip and turn more than expected - that was not an intentional outcome...

People need to whine and cry conspiracies when ever India wins. So don't bother being rational and produce facts to them

True...Tendulkar has never looked comfortable in his own skin, unless he's got a helmet on with bat in hand.

Goosy, don't know if you watched today's game.  But Yuvi looked horrible out there.  If we lose, it will be on the openers and his failure.  And a spectacular catch that dismissed the one in-form hitter we had - Hardik Pandya.

No i missed his knock but caught most of the game. Wish Dhoni would give him an over or two, think it would help his batting. Mohali and hopefully Mumbai should better suit his game.

Yuvraj is beyond salvage. The guy's old and done plain and simple. Anyone can see that and that has been the case since the last few years. Giving him an over or two won't change it. I repeat... he's not out of form but plain old. Even if we had sent a bowler up the order instead of Yuvraj, we would have scored 150.
