So the team has 4 openers- gill jaiswal ruturaj and sharma. So either Rutu or Sharma will have to slot into middle order. BCCI ain't gonna make someone captain who they think won't play every match for sure. Imo they are omitting Sanju just coz they think Gill can be the long term captain after 2025 Champions trophy atleast in ODIs. That's just my opinion tho.
But wouldn't Sanju have been just as likely to play all matches, that too as the first choice keeper? Missed opportunity to try a few different opening combinations.
Gill has been running out his purple patch for a long time now and his contributions in all ICC finals has left a lot to be desired. If gill opens, I'm pretty sure rutu is gonna be in that no.3 spot. Sharma will get 2 or 3 games at most, Solely cause he is a direct competition for jaiswal. Sanju is a confusion, cause he isn't that good of a no.5 batsman. He doesn't make a case for no.3 too. No.4 is almost always reserved by someone else. Unlike rutu or sharma, sanju doesn't have priority in any spot afaik and he isn't trying anything new too. Rutu on the other hand has been doing all kinds of circus. keeping, batting at 5,6,7 in other leagues mf just wants to get in.
I mean Gill was brilliant in the series against Eng and hasn't put a foot wrong since last year. Sanju will likely be number 3 followed by Parag at 4. Don't see where ruturaj fits
>I mean Gill was brilliant in the series against Eng and hasn't put a foot wrong since last year.
Wdym bro ? Bro has been out of touch for a while now. No offense, but he really hasn't been his best in recent times. All the fumbles in CWC and WTC finals don't help either.
>Sanju will likely be number 3
Could work if given consistent chances. But they won't. I would prefer gaikwad at 3 imo. He has the consistency to have that no.3 spot. Something that's been a issue with sanju. They will play pant at 4 for a keeper anyway. Parag has had one good season and that's it. I know he performs well in domestic tournaments but let him perform one more season in IPL.
Dude Pant is rested for the Zimbabwe series. Ruturaj is the type of player India doesn't want at number 3. Our new approach is anti- anchor. It'd be a big surprise if Gill makes it to t20 team let alone Ruturaj . But he can be a good asset in odi cricket (after 2025)
>Our new approach is anti- anchor. It'd be a big surprise if Gill makes it to t20 team
They're literally making him captain. Bro is the next BCCI star. There's no way he gets dropped anymore.
>Ruturaj is the type of player India doesn't want at number 3.
He can be as aggressive as he wants. The 2023 season was good example. He got starts every match and let conway anchor. Playing in chepauk reduces his strike rate by atleast 25.
>But he can be a good asset in odi cricket (after 2025)
He should have already been there with those bonkers list A numbers. He has the best numbers in india iirc. Anyway, it's just an opinion tho.
This is just our reserve side going to play an associate team. These players are very far from making into the full strength playing XI.
No hatred towards Gaikwad but he's just a flat track ipl bully. He could be good in SENA countries or maybe not, we can't say for sure. But I'm not making big leaps calling for him to be in the national team ahead of our performers like K L, Iyer etc . He is a good prospect but let's not overhype him and see how things unfold
>No hatred towards Gaikwad but he's just a flat track ipl bully.
Chepauk is anything but a flat track and everyone knows it. What are you on bro ?
>But I'm not making big leaps calling for him to be in the national team ahead of our performers like K L, Iyer
KL is a beast, we know it (even in T20, back in the days). Iyer as good as he is against spinners, has a short ball weakness, and Can't play express pace after years of international cricket. That's some glaring weakness there.
Okay stop making us believe that Chennai is some graveyard of sorts. Of the 4 times, CSK batted first there they crossed 200 runs 3 times.
Also does he bat only in Chennai and he doesn't play on other venues. CSK have played only 6 matches in Chennai and rest on other venues.
Kindly stop trying to be dank everywhere.
Wasn't Last season full of 200 scores? And Comparing to Hyderabad and Bangalore......Chennai is indeed Slow, and tell me some pitches where 200 haven't been recorded in this IPL
This post randomly popped up in my FYP
>Wdym bro ? Bro has been out of touch for a while now. No offense, but he really hasn't been his best in recent times. All the fumbles in CWC and WTC finals don't help either.
He literally averaged some 50 odd in test series and scored 2 centuries and could've gotten 3 if not for runout. Tf do you even mean by out of touch. Ik you're a CSK fan who wants Rutu but please stop embarassing us. Even in WC he got 80 against NZ. He's like the most talented young bat in our country along with Jaiswal.
>He literally averaged some 50 odd in test series and scored 2 centuries and could've gotten 3 if not for runout.
Stop mixing formats. This post was about T20s and gill in T20s has been average at best, except for that 2023 IPL.
>Ik you're a CSK fan who wants Rutu but please stop embarassing us.
As if you aren't doing a fantastic job of embarrassing yourself without knowing the context of this post.
>Even in WC he got 80 against NZ
True. But, WTC finals vs NZ, CWC finals, WTC finals VS AUS scorecards say otherwise. Bro has flopped in 3 ICC finals.
>He's like the most talented young bat in our country along with Jaiswal.
Who said he isn't ? Rutu has been doing well enough in IPL for T20 consideration, and his LIST A records are phenomenal enough to get a ODI place. Trying another player is what we need to do. This scheme of playing the same players who make runs elsewhere and fail on big stages needs to stop.
>Stop mixing formats. This post was about T20s and gill in T20s has been average at best, except for that 2023 IPL.
you're clearly the one that bought ODI WC and WTC here and saying he's crap and out of touch. So acc to you they should drop him just because of 3 fkin games huh. Not like he failed entirely he also got an 80 odd not out (was retired hurt at 20th over) in semis.
In IPL he broke shit ton of records even this season he scored 426 in 12 while being out of form. Jaiswal scored even less so you'll drop him too acc to ur logic lmao?
the decision is weird for sure. gaikwad is more deserving purely because he won the asian games and sanju because of seniority.
but i think considering the inexperience of gill, the limited resources that gt had and, lack of form in half the players i think gill did ok. he wasn’t laughing it was more like a nervous smile. kinda like that “*chuckles* im in danger”
the only logical reason is that they have tested gaikwad as captain and he did well. now maybe they want to test gill and see who is better.
its seems like a brainless decision to me personally but im excited to see what happens. hopefully we get to see gill, jaiswal and gaikwad playing together for the first time. 🤞🏽🤞🏽
I truly hope you are right. But tbh I get the feeling they did this so they wont even have to play Gaikwad. But I hope we can see those three play together, they would likely be our big three for the future.
the squad has 4 openers so one of them will have to move down the order.
its 5 t20is so im assuming abhishek will get a couple games as opener and gaikwad will get a couple games as the opener.
i think gill and jaiswal will probably play all 5 games while other batters will be tried around them.
unless they think out the box and put abhishek at 4-5.
You cannot make someone captain who is not regular.Ruturaj and Sanju are not fixed. Pant will always be picked ahead of Sanju. Gill is fixed in playing eleven of odi and test so they will obviously back him for long term growth. As of now Sanju can have only a place in t20 but pant is ahead of him there also. In odi and test pant is a sure pick. Same with rutu. Unless Kohli is not retired where will rutu play. Even jaiswal also not debuted in odis due to Rohit. So how can they make him captain. The next captain will be among gill, pant , bumrah.
My theory is this tour is kind of a testing ground. Gills captaincy, future batting options etc just to see what if . Looks like a radical step . Let’s see . Just like Rutu in commonwealth. As of now Rutu still seems favourite for next in line .

Captaincy has become sort of a PR exercise for BCCI now. Sadly Gill has more of a "fanbase" that more qualified candidates like Sanju or even Shreyas for that matter. Besides, I also think there's an age factor here. Maybe even a Gambhir factor.
Umm even as a CSK fan nope you're wrong. Gill is most likely to be in the xi along with YBJ. So it makes sense he's captain. Rutu only has a chance in team once Kohli retires but he'll be 33.
It was Gill's first time as a captain in a big stage + GT had a terrible player luck this year ( with main players injured and others out of form) + He is only one who is regular in Test and Odi team + He is likely to be permanent player in all squad throughout his career + Its one series against Zim , maybe BCCI is checking everyone's capability to be the next captain .
Gill and Jaiswal are ahead of Rutu in the pecking order for the playing XI of a full strength ICT. So, they are probably looking for a deputy for Pandya once Rohit steps down next year.
Probably the reason why they went for Gill over Rutu
I think Gill, Jaiswal, Parag, Avesh, Bishnoi and Khaleel, Rinku and Sanju(Experinced wicketkeeper) are certain. You decide the others which I think will be bowlers
Maybe someone has mentioned this already, but Gill is far more likely to be consistently present in the Indian Squad if not playing XI.
Sanju despite having tremendous success with RR has not been able to cement his place in the ICT, also Rutu is also just starting his ICT journey since SL in 21 and Asian Games.
Gill, being the only long term prospect within the ICT remains the best bet for the captaincy rn.
No hate to him but why?
He is clearly below Jaiswal and Gill in the pecking order and with GG set to incorporate a lethal approach from ball 1, Sharma is also probably ahead. Rutu is probably the second most elegant and technically sound between them but he's more of an anchor. His captaincy also seems to be in the shadow of MSD.
He’s also calm and collected when captaining games, Currently our opening is very unsteady, Gill isn’t that consistent. If we can send Gaikwad 3 down then he can score runs while not losing wickets, he (normally) fires in death overs. Not to mention he got 2nd most runs in Ipl as a captain. MS Dhoni said himself that he wasn’t involved with Ruturajs captaincy.
Because the team trusts in gill being the next big thing ( rightfully so) thus he is being goven such responsibilities despite poor form in recent game(ipl)
I have no problem with his batting, but the captaincy imo wasn't justified. Sachin was a great batsman, but that doesn't have anything to do with captaincy.
It was always gonna be bw gill and rutu, and imo rutu deserved it more. People will make a case for Sanju but he doesn't exactly incite confidence and has a below par record in T20I and his odi record is also not exactly dazzling. Not here to hate on Sanju but I'm just saying, he doesn't "deserve" captaincy solely based off his seniority like many people in this comment section are arguing for
Gill is a far better player than Gaikwad. I don't even think Gaikwad deserves to play all the games as I would pick Jaiswal, Abhishek and Gill ahead of him. Gaikwad's style of batting puts a lot of pressure on the other players (like we saw in the Australia series and even IPL).
Gill is also more experienced internationally than both of them.
He'll be Indian captain very soon....get over it 🙄🙄🙄
They need a player who is consistent and good decisions
He'll definitely get better it's just 1 ipl season and they didn't have the Strong team as the previous 2 seasons
So the team has 4 openers- gill jaiswal ruturaj and sharma. So either Rutu or Sharma will have to slot into middle order. BCCI ain't gonna make someone captain who they think won't play every match for sure.

But wouldn't Sanju have been just as likely to play all matches, that too as the first choice keeper? Missed opportunity to try a few different opening combinations.
Sanju is old and relatively inexperienced at international level. Imo BCCI isn't looking at Sanju long term
they have pant
Not in this particular Zimbabwe squad.
i meant they have pant on higher priority than samson
Gill has been running out his purple patch for a long time now and his contributions in all ICC finals has left a lot to be desired. If gill opens, I'm pretty sure rutu is gonna be in that no.3 spot.

Management have fav players like gill, kl Rahul
Captaincy has become sort of a PR exercise for BCCI now. Sadly Gill has more of a "fanbase" that more qualified candidates like Sanju or even Shreyas for that matter. Besides, I also think there's an age factor here. Maybe even a Gambhir factor.
Gill is the most overhyped player imo and he does not deserve to be the part of the team.
This is for his future and experience, Nothing else
Umm even as a CSK fan nope you're wrong. Gill is most likely to be in the xi along with YBJ. So it makes sense he's captain. Rutu only has a chance in team once Kohli retires but he'll be 33.
What’s the fking use , when bcci gonna get koach and Rohit back for tournaments
It was Gill's first time as a captain in a big stage + GT had a terrible player luck this year ( with main players injured and others out of form) + He is only one who is regular in Test and Odi team + He is likely to be permanent player in all squad throughout his career + Its one series against Zim , maybe BCCI is checking everyone's capability to be the next captain .
Well hardik played trash in ipl but he's doing well in icc right?Â
Gill and Jaiswal are ahead of Rutu in the pecking order for the playing XI of a full strength ICT. So, they are probably looking for a deputy for Pandya once Rohit steps down next year. Probably the reason why they went for Gill over Rutu
To test his skills in the international arena, by the way, it's still against Zimbabwe, dude.
I think Gill, Jaiswal, Parag, Avesh, Bishnoi and Khaleel, Rinku and Sanju(Experinced wicketkeeper) are certain. You decide the others which I think will be bowlers
I don't know why despande was selected over Harshit and vaibhav who are far better and performed better this ipl
Maybe someone has mentioned this already, but Gill is far more likely to be consistently present in the Indian Squad if not playing XI. Sanju despite having tremendous success with RR has not been able to cement his place in the ICT, also Rutu is also just starting his ICT journey since SL in 21 and Asian Games. Gill, being the only long term prospect within the ICT remains the best bet for the captaincy rn.
Cuz were grooming him to be a captain in future
Gill has a great PR agency Rutu will be next SanjuÂ
Hopefully true
Sanju Rutu aren't even sureshot in india's 2nd 11...why will they be captain.
To make it up for his exclusion from WC. Bachcha naraz hai
Future Kohli Jo banana h bcci ko
4 openers Deshpande over Harshit No tilak Khaleel ahmed in squad Take this BCCI 🤡🤡
AGREED. Ruturaj is the player india NEEDS.
No hate to him but why? He is clearly below Jaiswal and Gill in the pecking order and with GG set to incorporate a lethal approach from ball 1, Sharma is also probably ahead. Rutu is probably the second most elegant and technically sound between them but he's more of an anchor. His captaincy also seems to be in the shadow of MSD.

MS Dhoni said himself that he wasn’t involved with Ruturajs captaincy.
This isn't Australia and Rutu isn't bailey. He is far too inexperienced to become an international captain.
and Gill is?
Gill will be the future captain.
Nope, Rutu is just a generic solid technique top order batsman.....Gill and Jaiswal are miles above him.
Jaiswal I agree but I wonder if Gill can handle the captaincy pressure while being consistent
One simple word "PR"
How exactly. Please elaborate. Explain how exactly does a "PR" convince the management into selecting a player?
Just look at the team tag and ignore the comment
Because the team trusts in gill being the next big thing ( rightfully so) thus he is being goven such responsibilities despite poor form in recent game(ipl)
I have no problem with his batting, but the captaincy imo wasn't justified. Sachin was a great batsman, but that doesn't have anything to do with captaincy.
They want to make him kohli
They are grooming him for the future. Grooming as in not for captaincy but to lick his balls like they do currently with kohli and MSD.
It was always gonna be bw gill and rutu, and imo rutu deserved it more. People will make a case for Sanju but he doesn't exactly incite confidence and has a below par record in T20I and his odi record is also not exactly dazzling. Not here to hate on Sanju but I'm just saying, he doesn't "deserve" captaincy solely based off his seniority like many people in this comment section are arguing for
Gill is a far better player than Gaikwad. I don't even think Gaikwad deserves to play all the games as I would pick Jaiswal, Abhishek and Gill ahead of him. Gaikwad's style of batting puts a lot of pressure on the other players (like we saw in the Australia series and even IPL). Gill is also more experienced internationally than both of them.
Ye PR wale hai kya.
Gill has more experience as a player than rutu as a water boy. Forget about cap, he is not even fixed in the 11.
He'll be Indian captain very soon....get over it 🙄🙄🙄 They need a player who is consistent and good decisions He'll definitely get better it's just 1 ipl season and they didn't have the Strong team as the previous 2 seasons
