This is a pretty good move, and probably more of a 'Dravid' inspired appointment. With two big ICC trophies on the line within the next 18 months, it's a good time to bring in Upton
I think the ICC tournaments and soemthing like CWG doesn't allow front sponsors?Has BYJU pulled out of sponsoring the team? The reason I ask this- the women's team at the CWG seems to be playing without any sponsorship.
If BYJU has indeed pulled out, then why are we still sporting the jersey in the current WI series?

Given how things stand and the plans for future of this Dravid era, I think it's safe to assume that he will indeed walk right back in.I personally feel that India have done exceedingly well without his stat-padding.
It's absolutely ridiculous. I just tweeted about it. The logical way forth would have been to institute a tri-nation tournament,but NO!I didn't bring this up earlier, but who else thinks it is an absolute joke of a decision to have 2 bilateral T20I series against South Africa in India in a span of 4 months?
I have been following some comments by the pundits lately and one question caught my attention
- Does KL Rahul deserve to walk back in the WT20 squad?
I personally feel that India have done exceedingly well without his stat-padding. Unless, he has a stellar Asia Cup+ Aus/SA series, I do not see a reason for him to be anywhere near the Indian setup. In terms of the slightly slower players- we have Kohli and Iyer(who is the designated backup to Virat). Don't see this changing. KLRin the mix means yet another keeping option is open. However, if Dhawan's fluency isn't attacking enough, wonder what they'll make KLR's batting?
- Does Virat Kohli deserve to walk back in the WT20 squad?
Shami and Thakur in the 15?Even after all the hate I have for Rahul's captaincy, KL walks into the side for T20 and ODI's over Shreyas Iyer for sure. Iyer has got a nice long rope and has not set things on fire by his standard. I am a bigger fan of Iyer compared to KL and saddens me but that is the truth. Our XI for the WC will be
1. Rohit
2. KL Rahul
3. Virat Kohli
4. SKY
5. Rishbh Pant
6. Hardik Pandya
7. Ravindra Jadeja
8. Bhuvi
9. Chahal
10. Harshal Patel
11. Jasprit Bumrah
Other squad members : Ishan Kishan, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Deepak Hooda, Dinesh Karthik,Mohammad Shami, Shardul Thakur
Unfortunately even with Kohli out of form, he is making the XI just like KL.
No DK too!!Shami and Thakur in the 15?
They haven't been part of any t20 series since last year.
DK is there.. check!No DK too!!
They will be in the next 2-3 series remaining is what I feel.Shami and Thakur in the 15?
They haven't been part of any t20 series since last year.
In reserves. Okay! I just checked the XI.DK is there.. check!
