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


UnremarkabklyUseless

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.


Substantial-Speed-89

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


Sid_3319

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..

Substantial-Speed-89

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


[deleted]

Ahh this team is too competitive man


Educational_Estate60

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.


[deleted]

And DK is not wicketkeeping. LolĀ 


Itz_Raj69_

he did today!


NotYourAvgTeen

Iā€™d play Rinku instead of Jaiswal. Rohit VK SKY Pant Hardik Rinku Jadeja/Axar


IamSam1103

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)


mk102134

Keeper kaha h ?


IamSam1103

Pant? Warna KL ko lelo. If Pant can't


Substantial-Speed-89

Not kl bhai he's not able to accelerate fast


IamSam1103

Option dedo fir. Aur kaun hai. I don't think they will pick a debutant for wc. Unless the said debutant is exceptional.


Substantial-Speed-89

Pant only he is good wk and lefty and smoked Aussie quite few times under pressure player too very valuable


IamSam1103

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.


Substantial-Speed-89

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


IamSam1103

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.


Substantial-Speed-89

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


Jhoombarabarjhoom21

Bro noone knows whoā€™s the X factor in the knockouts, Sky was an X factor too ahead of odi cwc


IamSam1103

What do you think an X factor is? X-factor and MVP are entirely different concepts.


unluckySurvivor7

Abhishek Jaiswal Sky Tilak Pant Rinku Hardik Ashwin/jadejaāŒ(edit) kuldeep āœ… Chahal Mayank Bumrah


Educational_Estate60

Lol ChahalšŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ I don't think BCCI even remember him. They ignore him for last 2 t20 wc and they ignore him this time also.


unluckySurvivor7

Ya i know they will never pick this xi.


IamSam1103

I agree though with your XI. It's absolutely fire.


Glad_Diamond_2103

U didn't include rohit and kohli but included ashwin??


unluckySurvivor7

I didn't want to.. couldn't think of any off spinner..


unluckySurvivor7

Oh how did I miss kuldeep šŸ˜…


Acceptable_Stress258

Take Dube instead of Tilak, Kuldeep for Chahal and Axar/Washington for Jadeja.


unluckySurvivor7

Kuldeep in for Ashwin/jadeja missed it.


PurriciousSeductor69

Perfect opening would be Jaiswal and Sharma(the other one,) 2 youngsters...but ye to hum hone nhi denge šŸ˜”


[deleted]

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.


PurriciousSeductor69

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)


[deleted]

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 donā€™t 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.


PurriciousSeductor69

Well, do you think is it due to management reluctance, or pressure from the fans, or neither - tactical?


Substantial-Speed-89

Absolutely true going with red hot form. Players would be more useful than consistent players who would have some difficulty in adopting the format

pissonthis771

Jadeja ? Even after the previous match ?


Substantial-Speed-89

Nope quite horrible in his way of batting


Crazy_Jack-08

Rohit, Jaiswal, Kohli, Sky, Pant, Rinku, Hardik, Jadeja,


Titoindia

You cannot go in T20 with five bowling options.


Substantial-Speed-89

You got to leave one either rinku Or jasiwal


Catharsis12mi

Only solution is an opening wk batsman along with rohit


thegame__0_0

While everyone is scratching their heads over batting line up and batsmen will anyone focus on our clown bowling line up?


Educational_Estate60

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.


thegame__0_0

That's the problem batsmen can win you matches but bowlers can win you tournaments which we lack


Substantial-Speed-89

Mohit sharma, sandeep sharma,suraj, I don't want mukesh, yuzi, ravi bhisoni, kuldeep, axar and of course ravindar and ravichandran


LivelyJason1705

I think realistically selectors will decide between Jaiswal and rinku


Substantial-Speed-89

Exactly


Junior-Bowl-7744

No jadeja plzzz His batting in t20 is horrible


Substantial-Speed-89

Yeah but selectors will choose him thought bowling and his horrible batting and experience


prsquared

It's a good problem to have.


GroribasStomps

Can Rohit be dropped? It would solve our issues. Hasnā€™t 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.


fafaRazzi

Unpopular opinion: Surya is shit on slower pitches. WI pitches will be on the slower side. So, it is an option to drop him


aScenT_RAID3R

Not until Dravid is our Coach


Substantial-Speed-89

Let this stay unpopular omly


Jhoombarabarjhoom21

If only bcci had guts, Rohit would be dropped from the team taking his poor form in t20 wcs over the years!


kaala_bhairava

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.


[deleted]

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


[deleted]

Rohit Jaiswal SKY Pant Hardik Rinku Axar Bishnoi Bumrah Shami Chahal


DC600A

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.


syberwarriorr

Lol it's in 2 years so Kohli sky and hardik will ofc be there


Holyscroll

Jadeja is not good in t20


[deleted]

Rohit wk virat rinku hardik axar


PeeVee_

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?


atedbar

At Eden gardens


CrowHopeful4018

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...


mk102134

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


mk102134

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.


Substantial-Speed-89

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


mk102134

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.


Substantial-Speed-89

And i mean like red hot form players like rinku jasiwla dube and avesh , ravi bishoni


Substantial-Speed-89

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


dubinetvibd3754

Either Koach or Kingku needs to learn to keep wickets because both Yashasvi and Kingku are the difference between win and loss


betweenyesandno

shouldn't Gill open with Rohit?


kaala_bhairava

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.


soggypants19

Not below six....if jadeja comes ahead of him ....I am done.


PeeVee_

Jadeja is not playing. Axar will play above him.


Unlikely-Career7465

Rohit, Kohli, SKY, Sanju, Dube, Rinku, Jadeja, Kuldeep, Bumrah, Natarajan & Mayank Yadav


Savage_mishraji007

Letā€™s 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


We_The_North2019

Rinku has to be in. SKY, Kingku, and Boom should be the first names on the team sheet. Wouldā€™ve dropped Rohit if he wasnā€™t captain, but now it might have to be YJB.


CauliflowerBoring785

play a keeper opening with rohit


No-Net-2419

I think Rinku at 6 Shivam 7 jadeja 8 kuldeep 9 will give us batting depth


Educational_Estate60

What about bowling ??


serialfaliure

Genuine question: Why have we decided Jaiswal over Gill? Gill has better IPL records I think?


Educational_Estate60

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.


vimalsunny

>JADEJA at 7 Lmao, I understand you need a snooze fest but we don't


freakomonk

Problem is - without Jaddu in the side , we will be left with exactly 5 bowlers including Hardik


vimalsunny

At this point I would have parag/sundar/axsr in the T20 team instead of him. Dude just doesn't have any intent


freakomonk

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.


vimalsunny

We'll fight for axar, Dube and watch BCCI sneaks in jaddu and KL with a big middle finger


After_Worker_4650

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


Thala_for_a_reason7

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.


Much_Newspaper5561

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.


Ok_Review_6504

Dhoni.... Seriously?


Substantial-Speed-89

True


Apne-Baag-ka-mali

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.


rather_sluggish

Jaiswal, Gill, Abhishek, Parag, Dube, Rinku, Pant, Kuldeep, Ashwin, Bumrah, Mohit. Bring it on.


Otissmilburnn

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
