How to get rid of Shikhar Dhawan?


Recommended Posts

Posted

In the last 12 months he has played only 5 games, but is still averaging 50+ in that period, despite his 2 failures this series. 

 

He is here to stay for a while, unfortunately.

 

And in the last 24 months he is averaging 40.

Just like cricketics recommends longer rope for dilli and punjab players, same way Kohli is giving Dilli-wala Dhawan longer rope. Selectors MSK Prasad need to be sacked, and Kohli need to kick Dhawan out of 11 and out of the squad eventually.

Just like raina ashwin Jadeja were dhoni's guys, similarly Yuvi dhawan Sharma are Kohli's boys, so they will get a longer rope than others, sir Jadeja the most clever cricketer in the Indian team is in the good books of both kohli and Dhoni, so no one can dislodge sir Jadeja :bow:

He's just one of the crickets we love to go after. I do too.

 

But somehow he always seems to have the numbers, even though he seems out of form so frequently.

Feel even KL rahul does not look the part.

 

He is too inconsistent and unreliable. 

 

He just does not look convincing as a long term India ODI opener prospect  

Rahul is the most weird cricketer i have ever seen, either scores a century or completely fails, there is no middle ground for him

Dhawan can only be replaced when Rahul , rahane(hope he doesnt), pant one of them perform

Rahane failed (thats gr8)

Rahul has missed out on 2 games

Pant has chances in t20 but still do we have the guts to take him

 

Pretty sure dhawan wud atleast be in 15

That's why I want KL at #4. The spot from where he scored 150 in t20. Shikhar needs to go but he, yuvraj, Sharma won't as they are buddies of virat. Yuvraj scoring 150 is bad news.. will block some yougster's spot for the next 2 years. 

Msd doing well is good but once again he needs a partner he is comfortable with to score else he won't do jack shit.

* the odi team. Bakwas. No youngsters, wrong spots..no vision.

Ungrateful fans.  Sure he's struggling.  But he has delivered for us often. And his ODI record is still very good.  His replacement KL hasn't exactly lit things up either in the last 2 games.  And Pant has done nothing yet at the international level.  

 

I'm not a big believer in Dhawan.  But so glad that VK and the selectors don't have a Pakistani style use and throw fickle mentality with our players.

Rahul will be ultimately replaced by Tailunt.So not worried there.

Not Tailunt in this format though. He is good in ODI respect where due.

Banjo ICF littered with fans who get their panties twisted up.  Every other day - drop yuvi, drop Ashwin, drop Dhawan - and the golden egg laying goose - drop dhoni.  One more failure by KL, and the next whine will be - get him out, start pant-gasming for Rishabh Panth.

Dhawan deserved this series at least given how good an ODI bat he has been.

 

In fact he should probably go to the Champs Trophy too- lets face it, who else can be there as opener, even with Rohit back and Rahul in the squad we need one more.. Manish Pandey isnt an opener I know he has done it a bit in IPL but shouldn't in ODIs. Rahane isn't an ODI player so for me The only other options are Mandeep, or Mukund- Mandeep should have been in the squad but I defo think Shikar is a better bat
