India Team Discussion

[GurpreetSingh08]

...Because we are playing ODI and T20?

 

[zwarrior]

Yusuf should be given a chance atleast for T20s. He was decent in last season and exceptional in this season.

 

[Yash.]

but considering the kind of competition we will face by zim team,, its better to give oppurtunity to youngesters more we can

There are just 3 ODIs and 3 T20s. How many people are you gonna play?

Quite sensible selection of team for Carribean tour. Don't know why Shikhar Dhawan is still in the team. We already have 4 openers in Murali Vijay, KL Rahul, Ajinkya Rahane & Rohit Sharma. Well, then this is my playing XI:

Murali Vijay
Ajinkya Rahane/Rohit Sharma/KL Rahul
Cheteswar Pujara
Virat Kohli
KL Rahul/Rohit Sharma/Ajinkya Rahane
Wridhiman Saha
Ravi Jadeja /Amit Mishra
Ravi Ashwin/Amit Mishra
Mohammad Shami
Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Jasprit Bumrah

Among the trio of Rahane, Rohit & Rahul, only two will make through the playing XI. Ajinkya Rahane is the vCaptain. So he will be the part of the lineup. The other one will be either Rohit or Rahul. We have to wait and see what will the captain do to get the balanced playing XI.

I don't think Rohit will be given the position in the team. And even if given, it won't be in the opening slot. According to me this will be the lineup.
Murali Vijay
KL Rahul
Cheteshwar Pujara
Virat Kohli
Ajinkya Rahane
Wriddhiman Saha
Amit Mishra
Ravi Ashwin
Bhuvaneshwar Kumar
Shardul Thakur/Umesh Yadav
Mohommad Shami

Just noticed that my team does not have a single left handed batsman

 

[garryjo82]

What is the reason for selection of Shardul Thakur and that too for WI test match series ? could not understand yet

 

[Yash.]

I think that it was harsh on Yusuf Pathan and Yuvraj Singh to not be selected in the squad for Zimbabwe

Dude, do you guys follow the Indian test side at all? Rahane as the opener? He has been the most consistent middle order batsman for India in the last 2 years. He should`nt even be mentioned in the same line as Nohit and Rahul.

You have not seen my lineup properly. have you? Its obvious that Rahul gonna open the innings with Vijay. In that case, Rahane will come at no. 5

When you say only two out of Rahane, Nohit or Rahul can play, it implies that its some sort of a three-way contest which it is not. Rahane should`nt be opening and that is because he has been a solid middle order test batsman who has been more success than even Kohli in test cricket overseas so far. Rohit should`nt even be in the test squad after all the chances that he has got. He can`t face up to any sort of consistent pressure in test cricket. Karun Nair, Shreyas Iyer or Kedar Jadhav should be in the test squad ahead of Rohit and Dhawan.
