Malcolm Merlyn Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 40 minutes ago, Sachinism said: The thing with Yuvraj is he can look so majestic when playing strokes. So when scoring runs he looks amazing. But those runs come less often these days. He's played amazing this tour, but just don't feel he's a long term selection. Going forward, how much longer are we really going to play him? Are we planning on keep him till 2019? Kohli loves him, so we can be assured he'll be playing as long as they could possibly keep him PJ let Yuvi play this season.Then we can decide.If he scores runs he can very well play till 2019.

Gambit Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 This is the thing about Yuvi. Post 2011, his comebacks have always been amazing (that T20 knock v NZ among others). He just has not been able to sustain this over a few games. Link to comment

Cricketics Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Champions do it this way. Give them time. Don't talk shyt about them after one failure. He was injured and did not play 2020 world cup. Kohli knows what he was doing when he was picked again. Champion stuff from both him and Dhoni. Lord, sandeep, Vilander and 2 others 5 Link to comment

Pandey has already played for India,is in the squad.Rahul is playing.Pant will get his chance in the T20s,thats enough talent being nurtured.If someone is performing why take him out?He is 35 not 38.

goose Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 You all do realise you are comparing two batsman that hit their peaks 20 years apart. Stop this folly. Link to comment

I'm hardly a fan of Pandey, but its unfair on these kinda players who get the odd game here and there, 1 failure and they're discarded, where as other players get unlimited opportunities to deliver. Anyway the biggest annoyance were the reasoning behind Yuvi's selection. It just reeked of nepotism Link to comment

This guy didn't even follow the ranji trophy, he has no idea about the domestic performances of the players selected but he confidently says that yuvi was selected because of nepotism lmao, and he has the audacity to question his selection despite his complete lack of knowledge, ignorance is bliss I guess DDfan2017 and Ironhide 2 Link to comment

Please name one captain who doesnt back players he believes will do well. DDfan2017 1 Link to comment

King Tendulkar Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 All you see is people abusing past greats . Saying go back to first class cricket and bloody perform and earn spot back yiuvraj gone to ranji, worked his socks off . Scored loads of runs, fought his way back in and then slammed majestic 150. But people still not happy saying yeah that's all good but did not score in same format in fc cricket lol DDfan2017, Ironhide and Lord 3 Link to comment

Riju23 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Yuvi was one my absolute favorite players from ~2006-2011 but I really thought at age 35+ after all he has been through that he was totally past it. After all it has been 6 years since he dominated the world cup. Anyway, I have never been happier to be proven emphatically wrong! G_B_, Sidhoni, King Tendulkar and 1 other 4 Link to comment
