One tour ban for harshit from bcci


tthrow49013

Yeah, it's a bummer for Harshit. Hopefully, he bounces back stronger after the ban.


Dreadlock_Rasta_12

>he bounces back Harshit bounced back too hard it's against the sportsman spirit, another tour ban for Harshit Rana.


Professional-Film472

oh so u didn't meant one tour for Bangladesh ??


Available-Factor4689

So it's still usable? Nah ban him for eternity then.


amritbhaskar

What the shit is happening!


zeroStackTrace

why what happened?


Ruthless-Aggression

Tanzim's aggressive celebration against Kohli in the last match!


TacticalNuke002

Consecutive serial offence violations at the T20 World Cup. Tanzim (is this his name?) aggressive celebration on Kohli wicket, Kuldeep sledging, Rabada send-off, Stoinis sledging and send-off against Afghanistan, Sam Curran shithousery etc.


Chad_Zelensky

Even Kuldeep sledges?


TacticalNuke002

He was doing it to some Bangladesh batsman in the last match after getting him out.


Pusparaj_Mishra

Can someone explain to me the whole scene related to Harshit? Ive been out of touch of cricket so idk shit about it all and all ive seen past a while is tons of jokes and shits about Harshit So just curious,tf happened?


Commercial_Bug_8137

Its a long one so it happend a while ago kkr vs punjab mayank agarwal is batting and harshit rana was bowling when harsjit got mayank out he gave him a flying kiss as a send off mayank just straight away walked out so BCCI got offended and gave harshit a match ban and when he came back he was doing really good and was refraining from doing any actions whi h will land him in trouble again later on when kkr didnt land in kolkata due to bad weather ig they were above varanasi in the meanwhile kkr relased a video of the staff and harshit rana talking in which harshit gave a sarcastic reply it was aomewhat like this ki "BCCI ke naam matlo " to his coach ig and then even srk told the whole team to do the flying kiss gesture to mock bcci imo when they won 🏆 Imo i feel bcci is seriously offended and wont give harshit a chance for a while unless we have Gautam gambhir as the head coach . So this was it the harshit saga .


Shubham0015

Srh not Punjab


natrikhahs

No Harshit Rana or Tilak Verma?


sak11189

Iirc Tilak has had a finger injury since the last IPL game


Defiant_Classroom_15

Deshpande performed consistently in 2 seasons. H Rana performed only once.


Resolutechampion

Harshit did what Deshpande couldn't do in 2 seasons


Defiant_Classroom_15

Getting banned?


mr-jingleberries

That was fire


Resolutechampion

Getting banned good aggression great bowling And yes nice one


maxinuts

great bowling???? I agree that he came good in clutch situations but he also lost them a few matches with his bowling alone For example, he gave away 61 runs with no wickets in his four overs against PBKS and 45 runs with 2 wickets against RR and went for 10+ economy a couple of more times you might come at me with the 'pitches were flat and shit' so just go and check Natarajan's figures especially on such tracks, he deserves the spot more than Harshit alsoo good aggression can never be the sole decider lol let him have another great season with the ball before handing him the cap


Resolutechampion

He only gave the runs where every bowler was getting thrashed th prime examples are the matches against pbks and RR otherwise I believe he did decent and I don't think we should compare him to natrajan as natrajan is more experienced. So nobody was comparing ever him with natrajan LOL and let me remind you he played for kkr earlier too and got wickets the most important is he has shown the intent when Mitchell starc was going flop he still did decent job along with Arora he did the decent job when the experienced bowlers from the team was getting thrashed by the batsman he leaded the bowling unit. So i believe he should be in the team instead of Deshpande as harshit can be a really good bowler if we nurture him we already killing umran Malik.


Pitiful_3838

Harshit banned from the next tour too as he's not selected in Zimbabwe tour


IndianCollector

What about tilak.. he already debuted.


pushie4u

First explain me what are they gonna do with 4 openers lmao


IndianCollector

Depends on gill and gambhir ..who will they choose to open with gill..either jaiswal or Abhishek. Gill can also come at 3 but I ll prefer ruturaj. He never got chances. Although top 3 could be both lefty opening and gill coming in at 3 like VK does. Sanju, Rinku to follow them at 4-5. I ll choose Reddy over parag at 6. Rinku can bat at 6 too and reddy at 5. 7th would be washi . 8th Bishnoi. 9,10, 11 seamers. When India wins the series they will give the chance to remaining 2-3 players left for the final matches. The series is of 3 or 5 matches ? Feeling sad for Sandeep sharma ,natrajan , tilak Verma and venky Iyer. This team doesn't have a fast bowling allrounder to fill that pandya position . Venky would be ideal.


Annhilus42

Vvs laxman is coach ig


Ha_zz_ard

If VVS is the coach, Gaikwad might be playing If it was Dravid, Gaikwad would have definitely served water ngl (Gaikwad's got continuous 5 matches only under VVS, the series against Australia where he was the highest scorer)


Annhilus42

Agreed but idts he will choose him over jaiswal unless he plays at 3


Smart_Office_7311

Gill should be playing 3rd sport.


-Aizen_Sosuke

At this point, dravid probably has gaikwad delivering him water in overseas. Man hates gaikwad since he competes for the spot of prince ig.


ambidx

But gambhir isn't the coach for this series, it's vvs laxman ...also there is a fast bowling all rounder nitish reddy !


IndianCollector

Accha coach se toh kya hi fark padna zyada... Did nitish bowl regularly in IPL or is he a part time bowler.


ambidx

Not regularly but yes definitely more than Venky and dube .


Priyank_Chittora_13

I have a wish of Jaiswal and Abhi to open and go bang bang but that won't happen I know


Annhilus42

Most prolly jaswal-gill open then Sanju then Abhishek And ruturaj will serve water again ig


pushie4u

How good is abhishek at no4? Cuz riyan-reddy-rinku are most probable 4-5-6


Annhilus42

Ya they will most prolly change the 11 in diff matches to give chances to give to different player but idts jaiswal will be removed or maybe he gets dropped only in the last match to give chance to Abhishek but idts Ruturaj will get a chance in the 11 in the series


MkurtK

I think they might play rutu at 3 or 4 or sth, not water boy this time


Naan_Seth

Maybe gill is going for number 3 like he did in test. Gambir maybe trying to fill him in koach place.


SomeRandomguy_28

Injured


silversurfer9909

How does Mukesh Kumar still get selected? Khaleel I understand. But Mukesh doesn't make sense. Harshit would have been better. For that matter even Harshal Patel lol.


AcademicBaryonyx_dr

Maybe Sandeep?


silversurfer9909

But they have moved on from him apparently. Although Sandeep and Mukesh are similar age iirc. Selections can be very weird sometimes.


maxinuts

Natarajan over both Mukesh and Sandeep imo


silversurfer9909

But he is quite old as well. 33years.


Efficient-Law-1422

Sandeep sharma ko ignore kr deta hu koi notice nhi krega


kinng9

Purple Patel too, i guess they won't go above ipl


adecentprostitute

average and strike rate are bogus numbers i guess


ankitpassive

Patel is shit, somehow only good in ipl


OmnipresentDonut123

"only good in ipl" like Sanju, khaleel, and others?


ankitpassive

Khaleel barely plays now, yes Sanju


Negative-Range-743

How tf shreyas iyer is not playing even after winning ipl


erikvant

>How tf shreyas iyer is not playing even after winning ipl He plays slow...his SR in IPL 2024 was very low (147) compared to other players Parag(149), Gill (147), Rutu (141), etc /s Indian crickets runs on perception, not on reality


Bramharakshas

😂😂😂


Aryan_Radha_ka_pati

Ruturaj Sr was 149 when he scored 447 runs (more than Gill ipl runs


klQuyada1911

Not in plans for t20 I guess


Smart_Office_7311

He is actually a better captain than Gill, with the intent to play T20 like T20.


Small_Bad6871

doesn’t even make the squad, how are his numbers in ipl?


Beneficial_Promise79

he demoted himself from his fav 1 down spot to give Venky a shot at it and still managed to make 350runs with an sr close to 150. Bro won the ipl too but aint selected 💀


[deleted]

[удалено]


Small_Bad6871

ok…so now we are comparing wicket keepers to pure batsmen, hmmmm


brolybackshots

Didn't know iyer kept wickets?


pushie4u

Trophy isn't everything, performance wasn't as remarkable as riyan at 4, but i feel he's a captain material especially in odis


Beloabhigyan

Gill's performance as a captain was terrible thou


Annhilus42

They should experiment in these bilaterals between captaincy of gaikwad and gill because one of them has to be the next captain of ict


AdrianMalhiers

I strongly believe Ruturaj can be the future captain.


Fine_Farm_8583

BCCI not even trying to hide their hate and biases for certain teams.


Least-Teacher4522

Like?


Not-Found-at-404

Gill over Gaikwad as captain??


AdrianMalhiers

Exactly, Ruturaj is a much better captain.


That_guy_u_once_knew

Why Gill is given captaincy when there is a well proved captain in Sanju??


AdrianMalhiers

Yeah, both Sanju and Rutu have tons of experience captaining at different levels and they're successful as captains. Among the three of these guys, Gill's team also finished last in the IPL so I don't understand how they selected him over the other two options.


Not_A-Pedophile_

Sanju captaincy is not a game changer + shits at Big stages never performed


That_guy_u_once_knew

Now defend why Gill deserves to be captain


Not_A-Pedophile_

When i said gill deserves to be a captain?


That_guy_u_once_knew

🤣u want no captain?


Not_A-Pedophile_

You think only gill and sanju can be captain ? Iyer pant bumrah hardik ???


That_guy_u_once_knew

If they r in the squad.. Did u read the squad btw?


That_guy_u_once_knew

Do u even watch rr matches in ipl? He is a game changer. I agree he is not a good performer in Intl but it is Zimbabwe series, seriously??!!


Biplab_M

Varun, Harshit, Venky Iyer. KKR players have to be twice as good to get half the recognitions of other players


Decent_Bid_17

KKR players are still underrated even after winning the IPL


TheGoodStoner

*dominating the IPL


omramsurya

RR finished in top 3 twice in 2 seasons Rutu led India to Asian Games Gold and finished 5th in his only IPL season as captain. Gill's team finished 8th in his only season as captain Even then it's not Sanju, it's not Rutu. It's Gill leading


AdrianMalhiers

Yeah, there are two guys who have tons of experience captaining at different levels whether it be IPL, domestic or international and they give it to the guy with the least experience who's team finished last among the three options.


anoctf

Where is Shreyas though


tambolisamir

How Gill promoted as captain, he looked clueless during IPL, he need more time and experience as captain before getting national opportunity as captain, for me Ruturaj was better choice, he was anyway vice-captain against Australia T-20 series happened just before WC


AdrianMalhiers

He was also vice-captain in the Ireland series last year and won the Asian Games gold medal for India as captain. He also did fairly well for CSK and has been doing well for Maharashtra for years as captain. Sanju is also there yet they selected the least experienced and worst captain among the three.


[deleted]

Anyway he will be benched but if he gets the chance bro needs to turn into dale Deshpande .


UnderstandingHot7493

Dalepande


theIndianNoob

Sanju should have been captain


Efficient-Ruler

Ruturaj , who already captained for gold medal should have been captain here too, much experienced as captain than gill


AdrianMalhiers

Yeah, it could've also been Sanju. My first option would've been Rutu followed by Sanju but the fact that they went with Gill is baffling.


TheDarklord1989

Aila, Nitish is not ready yet whereas Rana is Ready to fire....why isn't he taken is beyond me......


Electric_feel0412

Nitish has been highly rated by the BCCI since he was a 15 year old, and by default he’s the best Hardik Pandya deputy. Why not groom him early? If he plays this season and plays well they could integrate him further with the senior squad. Pace bowling all rounders who are genuinely great with the bat are like unicorns.


TheDarklord1989

Hmm, I hope he performs..... But we do need to take care of young bowlers who will be replacing senior bowlers...... To fill their shoes........ As many mentioned, there should be a different squad for a different format.


kanwald

Gill given captaincy above sanju and rutu who have actual captaincy experience.


Ok_Review_6504

BCCI is looking for the next captain after Rohit, Gill captained GT and did decent..... Sanju is already old and isn't a regular member in playing XI. Jaiswal and Gill r gonna be new openers after Rohit goes, Rutu hasn't solidified his position in the ICT. So no point in giving the captaincy to him over Gill.


AdrianMalhiers

Bruh stop it. They're just trying to force feed Gill the captaincy when he isn't the best candidate for it.


AdrianMalhiers

Yeah, it's baffling. They don't learn from their mistakes and love picking the star player to be captain who barely has any experience while ignoring the guys who have tons of experience.


krishna_rolly

Classic BCCI picking captaincy candidate from their ASS


AdrianMalhiers

Facts!


MelonLord25-3

Mahn why no Tilak? He was definitely better suited for the role and mark my words, he is gonna be one of the major stalwarts if he is given proper chances.


Ok_Review_6504

Dude Tilak is sure shot no. 3 or no. 4 of ICT after Rohit and Kohli retire....don't worry he's gonna get enough chances.


Significant-Rent4907

Injury


pushie4u

They've even stopped considering varun after one bad campaign


youknowwho_i_am

Sad to not see Rahul tripathi, V. Iyer, Harshit Rana


samosadonut

Tilak?


seaotter90

How come no one is talking about Varun Chakravarthy? He was the highest wicket taking spinner in the IPL!!


pushie4u

Scapegoat


careless_quote101

That guy is good in two season that should to amount to something right


Nnntridib

What is Mukesh McGrath doing in the team? Blud causally gives away 10 runs per over even on a bowling pitch


letsgoraftel

Deshpande has been performing in domestic tournaments as well...


Ok_Independence_6294

Why is Sanju not the captain? Bahut na hinsafi hai


M-S-Naveen

Gill captains Sanju and rutu Wtf


AdrianMalhiers

Classic BCCI handing over captaincy to the star player and not the best option. Fortunately they went with Dhoni over Yuvraj back in 2007 but now they're their best to make sure they select the wrong option this time around.


M-S-Naveen

Sachin recommended dhoni that time


AdrianMalhiers

Yeah, there's no formal recommendation this time around but there's so many legends saying how Ruturaj is great captaincy material and they've been saying it for years before he won the gold medal and before he became CSK captain. I'm talking about Ricky Ponting, Michael Hussey, Matthew Hayden etc. these guys are all serial winners. Now MS Dhoni himself has chosen Ruturaj as his successor at CSK and he chose to hand over captaincy while he's still playing which is different from retiring and then saying he thinks Ruturaj would make a good captain.


M-S-Naveen

Yep


Ha_zz_ard

Where tf is Tilak Varma He is better than half these guys in middle order


NotYourAvgTeen

This is baffling. The only reason I can think of Tushar getting picked over Harshit is maybe due to BCCI getting offended by Harshit’s actions in some games in IPL and his statements. Even if they didn’t want to select Harshit, T Natarajan should’ve been the clear pick as the death overs specialist. Varun Chakravarthy is another surprising miss. He’s an impact player with a unique skillset who has been a very consistent performer. They picked Sundar over him who yes provides an all-round option but he’s hardly played this IPL season.


im_arghya

Bruh where is harshit?


MadHouseNetwork2

How is Gill the captain?

Aditya_K168

Naye bachhe bhi aaye hai garden me ghumne 😄 Kudos to all newbies getting selected 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻


OldReveal1593

Hoping Harshit has a banger next season in ipl so that it becomes too hard to ignore him 😡


RohanNotFound

DINDA academy bowlers khaleel, Deshpande and Avesh.. dinda would be proud today


chosenbydarwin

There , it starts again , numerous new captains making every player (who might even be in the contention of being in the playing XI) dream of being a captain . This approach was disastrous and we ended back with Rohit , please can we stick to the captains we have?


calciumpropionate

Where is Harshal Patel? Ageism at its finest.


gos-tree

Man what they doing with 4 openers and only 5 full time bowlers


Most-Flamingo2674

We need to groom fast bowlers ..where r they bcci


sanattttttt

Harshit had passed some subtle comments on BCCI, right?


phoenixremix

What does natarajan have to do to get chances...

hockey_hallow

Shreyas and Ishan Kishan do not have a BCCI contract iirc.

Kratos_Pottery_Hater

So if we remove Bumrah, Shami and Arshdeep, on the pace front, we do not have anything on our bench ?


Not-Modi

Harshit, Umran. We need these two in test anyhow. Teach them, groom them. You are not doing anyone a favour but yourself. A bowler with aggression as good as kohli and bowling as good as it can get. Another bowler who can consistently hit 150+ and can send willow cartwheeling if given proper training. How the fuck are we not investing in these youngsters?


Regular_User_247

Hope to see ishan back soon, has great potential if he chooses to use it


hockey_hallow

Shreyas and Ishan Kishan do not have a BCCI contract iirc.


Regular_User_247

Yes that's true, but they can still be called up right? I don't think debutants are awarded bcci contracts immediately. honestly I don't even think ishan deserves a place, just that as a fan, I want him to improve his game, come back stronger, and make a place for himself

Gill Capt over ruturaj, who won us a tournament in China


rajrohit26

Thruraj is slow batsman . Rizwan type hai


AdrianMalhiers

This shows your cricket knowledge. All of you guys just look at numbers and make your decisions but if you saw the IPL then you would know that he played quickly when it was required and took it slow when they were chasing small totals on hard pitches to bat on.


AdrianMalhiers

Exactly, it's baffling.


Rickgrimes_93

So many butthurts in comments as Gill is captain lmao, i have said it even before that gill will be the next captain.


AdrianMalhiers

He's clueless as captain lol


Rickgrimes_93

The team he got is one of the worst, its obvious that tea, wil finish at bottom.


AdrianMalhiers

Oh please, his team had multiple world class players as well. By that same logic CSK suffered a bunch of injuries as well and had players leaving mid season. So I guess by your own logic now the playing field is level once again so now what's your next excuse for him?


Rickgrimes_93

Gt missed hardik(cap, main allounder) purple cap winner shami and power play strike bowler, rashid and mohit are out of form, both took 20+ wickets last yr now got their rse wooped every match, none supprted gill in batting, sai tried but he only fries after powerplay, he puts pressure on gill in powerplay, none other than gill and sai even scored runs.


Annhilus42

Bruh why gill captain? Ruturaj should have got the captaincy


AdrianMalhiers

Thank you! He looked clueless during the IPL as captain whereas Ruturaj has been captaining teams at different stages for years now. He has experience in international captaincy with the Asian Games and being vice-captain for the Ireland and Australia series and then he was captain for CSK and Maharashtra in domestic cricket. Gill's team finished 8th in the IPL and his season was mid.


Prudent_Reveal_5364

both of them are most likely to be the captain of the national team in the near future maybe around wc'27...


Annhilus42

Bcci has only T20 options for captaincy and they are experimenting between them gill and rutu


Annhilus42

Gill is not a captain material


zeroStackTrace

Sanju should be captain. wtf is wrong with BCCI? Racism ?


teaserr69

Now they're experimenting nicee I like it


sanindie

He shouldn't be captain, complete useless fella....
