England's tour of India - 2021

Retrospectively, due to the emergence of SKY and Kishan, India will be under no pressure. We have got his role covered. With Pant Hardik and Jadeja in the fray, the lower order is set as well.
Definitely not! India as a team will be in no pressure. KL can play at 4 and Kishan/Shikhar/Virat can open with Rohit as well. Iyer will be under pressure though. He has lost opportunity twice in a row because of injury. Also I still do not consider him privileged as others in the team.
 
So what did we learn today?

- How to make a mockery of a sure shot, hot shot, assured win.
England Cricket Team, 2021.
 
This is a public forum and I can give any opinion I want as a member. I would like to keep these discussion civil and instead of calling other people's post dumb please have a civil way to prove your point. He is out of form and it is a big test for him since now he has been given the sort of confidence other players die for from the management. I dont give a rats ass how long you have followed cricket or played cricket. When I respect your opinion, I expect either you do the same or ignore my posts. This Indian management is known for chopping and cropping players left and right. People blame KL for lack of confidence when it has to be exact opposite.

KL knows very well that nothing is going to happen to him. He is in the KOHLI gang and nobody is going to touch him. He knows he has the privilege's other players dont have. Before the AUSSIE series, he was selected as Keeper Batsman, he has today played as one. This I am sure would have been communicated to him, so I do not see why he is low on confidence that people talk about and is insecure.

317 is not a defendable score. We should have got atleast 30-40 more. Shikhi played a Shikhi knock. 112 runs in last 9 overs did give us a boost though.

Back your opinion up with some facts the next time.

I see another "dig" out there that some player is in some sort of "gang."

But as you said, it is your right to voice your opinion and it is my right to voice it as trash. I will not ignore it as you are not abusive and it also allows me to really appreciate the times you actually do post things that I learn from.
 
@Bevab

I get your point about Buttler opening. But, don't you think Bairstow just can't bat anywhere else bar opening?

P:S I see 50 overs just as an extension of the T20 format and I know people will call me barking mad but I see no value in the Dhawan innings. Post 80, he was almost painful to watch.
