T20 World Cup 2024 (West Indies/USA)

[Gaurav_7]

Pandya to captain India?

Pandya to captain India?

It’s a play on Shaheen and Hardik both not being captain of their sides at the end despite looking like they would be.

 

[cricfan123]

For me Shubman Gill must open in 20 20 world cup if India are going to win

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

If India is serious about the trophy and wants to win they should not take Rohit, Virat and Jadeja. Some tough decisions need to be made just like 2007 T20 WC.

Yashasvi Jaiswal
Shubman Gill
SKY
Dube
Pant
Rinku


should be our top 6 with Bumrah captaining the side.

If India is serious about the trophy and wants to win

ha ha ha!

It is very difficult to expect a rational attitude from India here. I agree with the line-up that you've posted and do hope they take those sort of decisions- however, I really doubt they'd do so.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

What realistically should be India's squad based on so far IPL performances?

Like Dhoni did with T20 WC in 2007, I hope we take this route just based on performance

1. Sanju Samson
2. Ishan Kishan
3. Riyan Parag
4. Rishabh Pant
5. SKY
6. Shivam Dube
7. ??
8. Kuldeep Yadav
9. Jasprit Bumrah
10. Mayank Yadav
11. ???

 

[Bevab]

We had a good thing going on with our T20I teams after the last WC.

Jaiswal
Gill
SKY/Gaikwad
Varma/SKY
Hardik/Rinku
Jitesh
Axar
Sundar
Kuldeep/Bishnoi
Arshdeep
Mukesh

Including some of the bigger names that I feel deserve to come in…

Jaiswal
Rohit/Gill
SKY
Hardik
Varma/Rinku
Pant/Jitesh
Axar/Jadeja
The Big Question Mark
Kuldeep/Bishnoi
Bumrah
Siraj/Arshdeep

Would have to cut two names from here, possibly three if Sundar is to be filling in for the question mark. Bishnoi is at the biggest risk along with one of the four middle order batters.

This is without considering the probable inclusion of Kohli. Anyone getting cut for Kohli will feel harshly done by and I assume that someone may be Gill or Jaiswal, possibly even both Varma and Rinku.

You forget the words what Harsha boggle called kholi at the last world cup 20 20 yeah by calling him a champion yeah

Not in favour of Pant coming in here. A few smacks doesn't define a player and I am yet to see a single innings of substance from Pant this IPL. It would be taking a big name for the heck of it.

The '???' can be filled by Sundar, Bishnoi/Chahal and Arshdeep. As aback up, I'd take Jitesh (instead of Kishan), since I like what I've seen of him so far. Additionally, would also take in Rinku Singh as he gives that much needed impetus in the lower middle order.

Harsha Bhogle has become unbearable these days. Was always cheesy and is more cheesy these days. There was a time when I used to mute Manjrekar, but now I prefer him cause of his no-nonsense talk. If Bhogle continues this way, the day ain't far when there would be a direct shootout between Bhogle and Athar Ali Khan.

 

[Bevab]

I still maintain that Harsha is one of the most overrated commentators in cricket. Lacks insightful analysis, can’t really creative intriguing narratives or entertainment like a ‘play commentator’ would and uses increasingly flowery phrases and words to make up for the total lack of substance.

 

[CerealKiller]

Pakistan’s best XI (which we won’t see for even a single match)

Babar Azam
Saim Ayub
Usman Khan
Shadab Khan
Azam Khan (wk)
Iftikhar Ahmed
Imad Wasim
Shaheen Afridi
Naseem Shah
Abrar Ahmed
Mohammad Amir/Haris Rauf

 

[icyman]

Shaheen Afridi

Have a feeling he will pull out of the World Cup squad at the last possible minute

 

[Bevab]

Mohammad Amir

I swear he’s the Pakistani version of Ashwin, always seems to come back to the national team at the unlikeliest of times.

 

[Na Maloom Afraad]

Saw the fixtures and realized the final's on a Saturday, just like CWC'11.

So India's loss in Semi's or Finals to continue
