Sri Lanka tour of India

Just rubbish

Is that you NotDanielCricket?

Shreyas Iyer is under rated and his knock today just proves it.

Yes, Shreyas Iyer touted as the future captain is underrated.

 

[icyman]

He has been consistently scoring 30's and 40's but the ones where he has scored more has all been either match winners or have given India a chance.

So,we have come to this! 30s-40s being scored consistently would be enough to see a player through. I beg to disagree again on this front! You can't simply be a one-match/series wonder and stake claim to your place again and again!

Shreyas the batter in T20s to be precise

Which other player is even hitting 30-40 consistently?

Yes, the same man KKR paid 12.25 crore to play in T20s.

Because they are looking for a Captain? There is a reason why SKY is getting an opportunity ahead of him in T20s while Shreyas is a regular fixture in the ODI team.

When your entire batting lineup averages in 20’s in the last 2 years, scoring those 30-40 seems better. We are asking his head to be chopped when we just let go Puji and Jinx after 3 years of failure.

On a side note (leaving Mr Pant), are you asking Kohli's head to be chopped as well? Has not scored substantial or contributed in 3 years now?

Once again, my grouse with Pant is over his lack of game awareness and that results in him throwing away his wicket. The same cannot be said about Kohli, Puji or Rahane.

Rohit Sharma was guilty of the same thing during the beginning of his career. Had the selectors and the team management gone your way, then we wouldn't have our current captain in the side anymore. That is why you put faith in a player and groom him where he lacks. The returns may or may not be immediate but it does give a huge huge return in the long-term.

I have my grouse with India not winning an ICC event in the last 11 years hence India should be suspended from ICC tournaments.

Rohit has gotten a long rope in cricket, no doubt. The fact also remains that there are other players breathing down Pant's throat at the moment. Simply choosing a player for his impact innings once in a bluemoon may not be the right strategy. India struggles cause of putting too much faith in certain players.

Illogical bro!

As if you who is wanting to see Pant being replaced just because of the way he gets out makes sense.

And yet we criticize them for dropping Rahane in South Africa 2018 & Pujara in England 2018. Our lot of fans is just amazing!

we humans have a short term memory and whatever we think of first is what we speak. This is proven through research.

Hmm......

 

[NILAYSHAH60]

Rohit Sharma have not lost a game yet as a full-time Captain. He has won 10 games in a row (3 T20Is v/s NZ, 3 ODIs v/s WI, 3 T20Is v/s WI & 1 T20I v/s SL)

Something to gain for Sri Lanka over here against a strong Indian team at home. Suddenly India looks a different side under Rohit Sharma. Oppositions around the world should actually worry this Rohit-Rahul combo!
