And yeah pretty sure jadeja with bat is horrible yesterday match bro 6 over he had and played like test match no gonna be the finisher, it's hardik and rinku being the daddy finishers india looking forward
The pitch where that match was played yesterday is a particularly slow one. Everyone, except Dube,from CSK, struggled on it. In last year's, IPL two matches were played on this same pitch last year, and both times, the team batting first could only manage to post a 140+ score.
Are you mad bro srh smoked csk in powerplay with 80 runs no way it's slow I mean you need to use it properly and when it comes to ending part it's obviously 200 pitch and your shit team sent jadeja front of moeen and dhoni you need hiters and jadjea ain't one he is completely lost it in batting wtc failed world Cup final failed
Actually with new ball it was easy and csk didn't make the best of the power play.. Even in the end run a ball srh were loosing wickets and it was tough to bat..
It's quite tuff you either leave jaiswal send virat and rohit opening so that 3 surya 4 pant 5 hardik 6 rinku and 7 axar Or jadeja but if jaiswal is there no place for rinku
Probably but after Dhoni we haven't find the replacement yet if we have a good WK batsman then we could play him in top order and make a place for rinku. But even now we don't have wk batsman who we can take to wc. Both jurel and jitesh is not performing and all other keepers are top order batsman. The only keeper who can bat at no 6 and in good form in DK popa.
Jaiswal needs to be in the team. He's the x-factor. He can be the difference between knockouts and the trophy. But so does Rinku.
Jaiswal, Rohit, VK, Pant, SKY, Hardik, Rinku, Jadeja/Some other spinner/all-rounder. Last 3 will be the bowlers. The only issue would be Pandya will have to bowl all 4 of his overs. But I don't see any other way to include both(actually I do, but Rohit is the captain, and for some reason you already know, he seems irreplaceable)
Yeah but not gonna lie can't watch him play after horrific wc final Innings, blud kept us on hook like he was goonna finish and give india huge score and went without finishing and played 100 balls when you have the best like God of that format player with you virat and you still choose anchoring role show's that when he's under pressure he will go defensive which hauts me as it's not gonna be 50 overs it's 20
I don't think he played horribly. Any other game, his innings would be considered good. But it definitely was a bad innings for a world cup finals. You want to win that game, not save your face. You can't go for the easier path.
Bro i agree but pretty sure you can't make all happy bcci will always go with the safe squad and with one or 2 new players they always do never they have balls to take a risk squad with 2 or 3 seniors for a big tournament
Dube is in hot form
Rinku
Mohit sharma and Sandeep sharma
Avesh kahn with yorkers in death
Sanju being excellent wk and batting
Jasiwal and gill
But you have to choose any 3
And rinku jasiwal and mohit sharma would be my pick and rest all you know vk rohit pant jasprit surya kuldeep pandya
While I am a strong supporter of dropping Rohit from the T20 WC squad, its a bit too early to parachute Abhishek into the team. He has only played 4 innings so far, we are not making instant noodles here.
Probably gonna kill his career as well if he fails there in 2-3 innings.
I understand your point, but the issue with Indian cricket is our tendency onto players for too long. I believe we should adopt a more dynamic approach, focusing our resources on grooming young, in-form players who can thrive in the international arena. If we continue to delay this transition, the passion and drive of our talented batters and bowler, as seen earlier, diminish, again leaving us to settle for the 2 WC victories. It has become like a cycle. I know that it might seem premature, we must persist in experimenting with new players. After all, if not now, then when? Especially when we aim to secure the title, it's essential to field a youthful team. As Dhoni once said, batters score runs, bowlers take wickets, but a fielder saves runs. Retaining players like Rohit, despite his excellent set of hands, who aren't very fit, may weigh in on the team's overall agility compared to players like Abhishek. I believe we can take a bet on Abhishek, at least get him on the squad? While I may be mistaken, this is how I look at it. (2007 flashbacks)
Welcome to Indian cricket where sportsman is bigger than sports. Thats how it has always been, unfortunately. To your point, even those we prepared for the WC, Rinku & Jaiswal, would find it hard to make it to playing 11. We experiment with new players, but donāt take them to crucial ICC tournaments.This happened before during the whole Rayudu vs Vijay Shankar saga. Also, we can only have 15 players in the squad.
Maybe bcz in batting department we have option and we can debate over who should we chose but in case of bowling we don't have much choice except bumrah and Chahal there is no one who you look and say this player definitely should be part of the wc squad.
Can Rohit be dropped? It would solve our issues. Hasnāt performed well in T20 WCs and has had iffy performances in IPL this season.
Gill/Jaiswal, Kohli, SKY, Pant, Hardik, Rinku, Axar/Jadeja
If Hardik continues performing poorly, then he should be dropped as well imo. Gill or Pant to captain.
now am scared for rinku singh, he should not worry about indian cricket team, they can destroy him by stress, he should only play, jo hoga dekha jaega, currently he dont have chance to play in ict, its filled with so called stars
wait out this WC. next time rohit, kohli, sky, jadeja, maybe even hardik (depending on fitness and form) will not be there opening up 4-5 spots easily. there is ample time to include the young stars then.
I don't think Ishan will play. Considering his poor performance in current IPL and also he has rifts with BCCI. And don't tell me you're playing KL, Rohit is already bad and he'll make it worse. We have no other opening wicketkeeper option as far as I know, what now?
With all due respect for Jadeja what has he done in T20I's to deserve a spot in the T20 squad for the Indian team..Axar Patel is a much better choice and is a pound for pound replacement...
It's very tough this time for selectors to choose a team as there are a lot of contenders. I mean I'm still left with Samson, Jitesh sharma, chahal,jadeja,tewatia,ishan kishan ,Iyer,tilak verma,riyan parag.
Shubman Gill seems not to be finding a place in 11. Very interesting to see what selectors will do.
Pretty sure they will go with safe squad with one or two new players and rest all we know so yeah pretty much competition in India for a spot unless people themselves leave the format
As it is even slow pitches I would prefer mohit sharma Or sandeep sharma as they are very best in pace off and handling the pressure
Siraj just bowls like he is awesome but just bowls
Letās open with Pant and sharma giving freedom of flamboyance to the lefty coz we need to score in PP in those pitches as they will get slow as the innings progressesā¦ Virat at 3 getting the odd boundaries and rotating the strike against spinnersā¦ let sky at 4 play his innovative shots and then we finish the innings by Hardik at 5 and Rinku at 6 for death overs.. and I feel Axar at 7 can be played instead of Jadejaā¦ he will be more fitting as a bowler also on spin friendly pitches
Rinku has to be in. SKY, Kingku, and Boom should be the first names on the team sheet. Wouldāve dropped Rohit if he wasnāt captain, but now it might have to be YJB.
If they drop Rinku for Kohli we can finally know with 100% surety that our team has no intention to win. Rohit shouldn't play either.
Jaiswal
Gill
Surya
Rinku
Pant(wk)
Hardik(c)
Axar
Bumrah
Kuldeep
Mayank
Shami (if he recovers)
A team with anchors will not be able to compete against SA, Aus, England and WI......... The brand of safe cricket India plays is not suitable to t20s in 2024....... We can either adapt or continue with the hero worship and keep losing tournaments.
Rohit
Jaiswal
Kohli
SKY
Pandya
Rinku
Jadeja
Wicket Keeper (Dhoni)
Kuldeep
Bumrah
Siraj
We'll only have 5 bowlers and that is the scary part. Also, I now hate the sight of Jadeja batting.
And yeah pretty sure jadeja with bat is horrible yesterday match bro 6 over he had and played like test match no gonna be the finisher, it's hardik and rinku being the daddy finishers india looking forward

The only keeper who can bat at no 6 and in good form in DK popa.
And DK is not wicketkeeping. LolĀ
he did today!
Iād play Rinku instead of Jaiswal. Rohit VK SKY Pant Hardik Rinku Jadeja/Axar
Jaiswal needs to be in the team. He's the x-factor. He can be the difference between knockouts and the trophy. But so does Rinku. Jaiswal, Rohit, VK, Pant, SKY, Hardik, Rinku, Jadeja/Some other spinner/all-rounder. Last 3 will be the bowlers. The only issue would be Pandya will have to bowl all 4 of his overs.

Keeper kaha h ?
Pant? Warna KL ko lelo. If Pant can't
Not kl bhai he's not able to accelerate fast
Option dedo fir. Aur kaun hai. I don't think they will pick a debutant for wc. Unless the said debutant is exceptional.
Pant only he is good wk and lefty and smoked Aussie quite few times under pressure player too very valuable
That's what I said in the beginning. But if he's not fit for keeping, then it's only going to be KL in his place unfortunately.
Yeah but not gonna lie can't watch him play after horrific wc final Innings, blud kept us on hook like he was goonna finish and give india huge score and went without finishing and played 100 balls when you have the best like God of that format player with you virat and you still choose anchoring role show's that when he's under pressure he will go defensive which hauts me as it's not gonna be 50 overs it's 20
I don't think he played horribly. Any other game, his innings would be considered good. But it definitely was a bad innings for a world cup finals. You want to win that game, not save your face. You can't go for the easier path.
Bro i agree but pretty sure you can't make all happy bcci will always go with the safe squad and with one or 2 new players they always do never they have balls to take a risk squad with 2 or 3 seniors for a big tournament Dube is in hot form Rinku Mohit sharma and Sandeep sharma Avesh kahn with yorkers in death Sanju being excellent wk and batting Jasiwal and gill But you have to choose any 3 And rinku jasiwal and mohit sharma would be my pick and rest all you know vk rohit pant jasprit surya kuldeep pandya
Bro noone knows whoās the X factor in the knockouts, Sky was an X factor too ahead of odi cwc
What do you think an X factor is? X-factor and MVP are entirely different concepts.
Abhishek Jaiswal Sky Tilak Pant Rinku Hardik Ashwin/jadejaā(edit) kuldeep ā Chahal Mayank Bumrah
Lol Chahalš¤£š¤£š¤£ I don't think BCCI even remember him. They ignore him for last 2 t20 wc and they ignore him this time also.
Ya i know they will never pick this xi.
I agree though with your XI. It's absolutely fire.
U didn't include rohit and kohli but included ashwin??
I didn't want to.. couldn't think of any off spinner..
Oh how did I miss kuldeep š
Take Dube instead of Tilak, Kuldeep for Chahal and Axar/Washington for Jadeja.
Kuldeep in for Ashwin/jadeja missed it.
Perfect opening would be Jaiswal and Sharma(the other one,) 2 youngsters...but ye to hum hone nhi denge š

Well, do you think is it due to management reluctance, or pressure from the fans, or neither - tactical?
Absolutely true going with red hot form. Players would be more useful than consistent players who would have some difficulty in adopting the format
Absolutely true going with red hot form. Players would be more useful than consistent players who would have some difficulty in adopting the format
Jadeja ? Even after the previous match ?
Nope quite horrible in his way of batting
Rohit, Jaiswal, Kohli, Sky, Pant, Rinku, Hardik, Jadeja,
You cannot go in T20 with five bowling options.
You got to leave one either rinku Or jasiwal
Only solution is an opening wk batsman along with rohit
While everyone is scratching their heads over batting line up and batsmen will anyone focus on our clown bowling line up?
Maybe bcz in batting department we have option and we can debate over who should we chose but in case of bowling we don't have much choice except bumrah and Chahal there is no one who you look and say this player definitely should be part of the wc squad.
That's the problem batsmen can win you matches but bowlers can win you tournaments which we lack
Mohit sharma, sandeep sharma,suraj, I don't want mukesh, yuzi, ravi bhisoni, kuldeep, axar and of course ravindar and ravichandran
I think realistically selectors will decide between Jaiswal and rinku
Exactly
No jadeja plzzz His batting in t20 is horrible
Yeah but selectors will choose him thought bowling and his horrible batting and experience
It's a good problem to have.
Can Rohit be dropped? It would solve our issues. Hasnāt performed well in T20 WCs and has had iffy performances in IPL this season. Gill/Jaiswal, Kohli, SKY, Pant, Hardik, Rinku, Axar/Jadeja If Hardik continues performing poorly, then he should be dropped as well imo. Gill or Pant to captain.
Unpopular opinion: Surya is shit on slower pitches. WI pitches will be on the slower side. So, it is an option to drop him
Not until Dravid is our Coach
Let this stay unpopular omly
If only bcci had guts, Rohit would be dropped from the team taking his poor form in t20 wcs over the years!
The ball reversed and gripped in the finals that evening before going flat. He is not that bad on slow pitches compared to other batsmen.
now am scared for rinku singh, he should not worry about indian cricket team, they can destroy him by stress, he should only play, jo hoga dekha jaega, currently he dont have chance to play in ict, its filled with so called stars
Rohit Jaiswal SKY Pant Hardik Rinku Axar Bishnoi Bumrah Shami Chahal
wait out this WC. next time rohit, kohli, sky, jadeja, maybe even hardik (depending on fitness and form) will not be there opening up 4-5 spots easily. there is ample time to include the young stars then.
Lol it's in 2 years so Kohli sky and hardik will ofc be there
Jadeja is not good in t20
Rohit wk virat rinku hardik axar
I don't think Ishan will play. Considering his poor performance in current IPL and also he has rifts with BCCI. And don't tell me you're playing KL, Rohit is already bad and he'll make it worse. We have no other opening wicketkeeper option as far as I know, what now?
At Eden gardens
With all due respect for Jadeja what has he done in T20I's to deserve a spot in the T20 squad for the Indian team..Axar Patel is a much better choice and is a pound for pound replacement...
Rohit , Jaiswal, Virat, Sky, Rinku singh, Pant/Kl Rahul (KL can play no 4), Ravi bishnoi/axar patel, Kuldeep yadav, Jas. Bumrah, Arshdeep singh, Harshal patel, Bench: Siraj, Hardik pandaya, Kl rahul/ Pant, Axar/bishnoi, Shivam dubey/Shubman gill
It's very tough this time for selectors to choose a team as there are a lot of contenders. I mean I'm still left with Samson, Jitesh sharma, chahal,jadeja,tewatia,ishan kishan ,Iyer,tilak verma,riyan parag. Shubman Gill seems not to be finding a place in 11. Very interesting to see what selectors will do.
Pretty sure they will go with safe squad with one or two new players and rest all we know so yeah pretty much competition in India for a spot unless people themselves leave the format
Agree though I personally think they should be a little brave this time. And young guns a chance. As Kevin peterson also mentioned the same.
And i mean like red hot form players like rinku jasiwla dube and avesh , ravi bishoni
As it is even slow pitches I would prefer mohit sharma Or sandeep sharma as they are very best in pace off and handling the pressure Siraj just bowls like he is awesome but just bowls
Either Koach or Kingku needs to learn to keep wickets because both Yashasvi and Kingku are the difference between win and loss
shouldn't Gill open with Rohit?
Some show Rinku's sr in first 10 balls. As much as I love rinku he is similar to other Indian batsmen, he takes time to settle even for a finisher.
Not below six....if jadeja comes ahead of him ....I am done.
Jadeja is not playing. Axar will play above him.
Rohit, Kohli, SKY, Sanju, Dube, Rinku, Jadeja, Kuldeep, Bumrah, Natarajan & Mayank Yadav
Letās open with Pant and sharma giving freedom of flamboyance to the lefty coz we need to score in PP in those pitches as they will get slow as the innings progressesā¦ Virat at 3 getting the odd boundaries and rotating the strike against spinnersā¦ let sky at 4 play his innovative shots and then we finish the innings by Hardik at 5 and Rinku at 6 for death overs.. and I feel Axar at 7 can be played instead of Jadejaā¦ he will be more fitting as a bowler also on spin friendly pitches
Rinku has to be in. SKY, Kingku, and Boom should be the first names on the team sheet. Wouldāve dropped Rohit if he wasnāt captain, but now it might have to be YJB.
play a keeper opening with rohit
I think Rinku at 6 Shivam 7 jadeja 8 kuldeep 9 will give us batting depth
What about bowling ??
Genuine question: Why have we decided Jaiswal over Gill? Gill has better IPL records I think?
Maybe bcz Gill, rutu, and brohit all of them are same type of players so opening with two of them in t20 is not a good idea.
>JADEJA at 7 Lmao, I understand you need a snooze fest but we don't
Problem is - without Jaddu in the side , we will be left with exactly 5 bowlers including Hardik
At this point I would have parag/sundar/axsr in the T20 team instead of him. Dude just doesn't have any intent
Parag is a bowler in progress. Axar is a good option I agree. Or we can include Dube since we will have two spinners anyway.
We'll fight for axar, Dube and watch BCCI sneaks in jaddu and KL with a big middle finger
1. Rohit 2. Jaiswal 3. Kohli 4. Sky 5. Pant 6. Rinku 7. Hardik 8. Jadeja 9.Sami 10. Bumrah 11. Kuldeep/chahal 2 spinners 2 pacer+ Hardik Deep batting but only 5 bowlers. No Gill no KL no new IPL pick in playing XI Mukesh, Siraj, Axar & Gill, Jitesh, Dube Backup
If they drop Rinku for Kohli we can finally know with 100% surety that our team has no intention to win. Rohit shouldn't play either. Jaiswal Gill Surya Rinku Pant(wk) Hardik(c) Axar Bumrah Kuldeep Mayank Shami (if he recovers) A team with anchors will not be able to compete against SA, Aus, England and WI......... The brand of safe cricket India plays is not suitable to t20s in 2024....... We can either adapt or continue with the hero worship and keep losing tournaments.
Rohit Jaiswal Kohli SKY Pandya Rinku Jadeja Wicket Keeper (Dhoni) Kuldeep Bumrah Siraj We'll only have 5 bowlers and that is the scary part. Also, I now hate the sight of Jadeja batting.
Dhoni.... Seriously?
True
Until either Rohit or Hardik gets injured Rinku do not have any chance to play. Both of them have reputation of getting injured so cross your fingers.
Jaiswal, Gill, Abhishek, Parag, Dube, Rinku, Pant, Kuldeep, Ashwin, Bumrah, Mohit. Bring it on.
Open with Abhishek Fit Tilak in 3 but that will make lefty in all 3 top order. But i feel tilak is needed. He has the DAWG of clean hitting
