Byproduct of your entire player pool being 17 cricketers and 6 sheep

Why arnt sheeps getting selected? #SheepLivesMatter

Just copying the GOATs

Pune Warriors! Come to think of it, they had a good squad for the format, but weren't able to make much of an impact.

Bizarre for the BCCI to make statements like they won’t factor in IPL form when making their selection. What exactly are they basing it off then given the scarcity of T20Is played by some of their bigger names?

It’s their way to justify the selections that they’re going to make, and they know it’s going to incur lot of media storm.

Donations to Shah's political future!

Squad and new kit revealed.

Overall happy with the squad, no Bavuma and VD Dussen. Going to be interesting to see who opens the batting with QDK not finding form during the IPL.

My XI

1. Ryan Rickelton
2. Reeza Hendricks
3. Aiden Markram
4. Heinrich Klaasen
5. David Miller
6. Tristan Stubbs
7. Marco Jansen
8. KG Rabada
9. Gerald Coetzee
10. Anrich Nortje
11. Tabraiz Shamsi

Keshav Maharaj is economical as ever, but he's not a wicket taker IMHO

Nortje ahead of Burger is a bit of a surprise to me.

As for the Indian squad… not selecting Rinku is a genuine joke.

They had to select Hardik, to accommodate him and his ego someone had to be sacrificed. India losing another trophy. Also what has Hardik done to be the VC?

To add what has Axar done this wc to get a place in the squad? We already have Jadeja and Kulcha.

I guess other players he might be considered alongside have additional strings to their bow (keeping/medium pace) or act as like-for-like replacements for other players. Although I'd have picked him. The bowling looks like it might depend a lot on Bumrah and Kuldeep.

What would be your XI

 

[Gaurav_7]

Dube could have been a reserve with Rinku in the main squad. Pandya should not have been in the squad!

Horrible side! In 2019 it was the case with 4 wicket keepers, now it is 4 spinners!

Rinku broke Kohli's bat, hence the punishment

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

I keep being mad at Indian cricket. Some squad members yet alone making Hardik captain makes no sense and I definitely get the smell of political interference here with Jay Shah, BJP and Ambani's.

Rinku should have been in the squad. Since we are not picking squad based on IPL form, Rinku's mediocre season can be thrown out of equation but that chap has 400 runs in 11 innings with 7 not outs for India. Playing at 180 sr and has 20 sixes. When we lose and I am sure we will, selectors, captain and management needs to be fired. Oh atleast I should be glad KL dint make the cut right?

Sharma
Jaiswal
Kohli
Samson
Pant
SKY
Hardik
Jadeja
Kuldeep
Arshdeep/Siraj
Bumrah

OR since mr hum toh tumhare captain hain (I am your captain), is in as the worst VC in the history of VC's, Samson may or may not play. Absolutely stealing someone away from a well deserved spot to accomodate an a hole
