Dhoni has to stop the "unchanged 11" nonsense

[fineleg]

Utter nonsense. Your 11 are not contributing (batsmen in the 11 especially). So, bring about some changes, it is already too late, too too late. But do something, rather than blurt your nonsense of "same playing 11". Cannot depend on Kohli magic for match-after-match

[kosingh]

A guy like Raina doesn't even look like he'll do anything. He's the worst of the free riders. A real fat useless slob. 

[nevada]

I think Dhoni is superstitious and scared of upsetting the numerical balance by making any changes.

[Ankit_sharma03]

n do what bring rahane a painful sight in t20 specially on slow tracks

or bhajji in place of pandya n expect him to be our floater hitter

[Adi_91]

Right now, we don't have to change anything as there are no awesome options sitting on the bench. Period.

[The Realist]

Then at least change around the damn batting order. T20 is the most flexible format yet Dhoni persists with the same old failing batsmen in the same positions.

Kohli is carrying 4 consistent failures every game.

I will not drop or change anyone from this xi for this world t20

Change and try at least, at least the batting order. No change means, Kohli has to deal with 4 other useless top order batsmen in same stupid batting order. They wont even score 30 runs each with singles and give Kohli strike rotation.

changing at this point will make it even worse not better.

Ind has to drop one of the non performing batsmen with a bowler

Btw, there is already a thread discussing the same subject - Link

why? When bowling is not a problem to begin with? That sounds really stupid to me.

Yuvi might be injured for the semis. A change might be enforced... lets wait.

Among the 4 non-contributors, Yuvi was better than Nohit, Dhawan and Raina. So, its a blow that Yuvi is injured, and he got a wicket as well while he bowled

Oh god, Rahane who can't even bowl. 

[G_B_]

mostly will be Negi rather than Rahane. Its a straight swap. Allrounder for another.

[goose]

No.

- Rohit, Dhawan, Raina just need to improve their shot selection.  

- There is so much more that defines a team besides what you see on the scorecard. 

- World cup finals are often won by batsmen that have done nothing till that point (e.g. Dhoni, Gilly).

Lol .... this is the easiest way I can explain: 

Step 1: Bad batsman ---> Replace with good batsman

Step 2: If there is no good batsman to replace bad batsman ----> batting will remain weak  

Step 3: Strengthen bowling ---> So the weak batting has to do less work (as only 2 or 3 batsmen who are doing bulk of scoring), therefore strengthening bowling indirectly strengthens batting

Its his good luck charm (or so he thinks)

[express bowling]

After the World T20 is over, we need to make some changes to our LOI teams.

Too many passengers,  especially in the T20 team.

 

For this World T20...it would be difficult to make any changes for the KO matches as the bench players are so out of match practice.

But, some changes in the batting order can be done...and spinners given more overs if we have slow tracks.

Today, our most impressive bowler, Jadeja, did not finish his quota.
