Although there is something different with the approach of Indian batters but the way these guys hit ball in boundaries is more than thier singals or twos. That is how these guys maintain a good strike rate as a T20 batters.
Congrats to Rinku but it went for a losing cause. Talking about low strike rate of spin bowling its still too early and Indian batsmen will eventuall get used to it over the time. Singles and twos are very important in 20 over or 50 over format because that will disturb the bowlers more if someone is capable of doing it consistently and that is why Virat is standing out from any other batsmen from Indian team. I seriously was missing Rohit Sharma yesterday, if he would have been opening the target would have surpassed 200 runs. Rinku Singh and SKY were the reason that India was able to get to 180, if the rain had not interrupted then this match would have gone in favor of the Indian team. I somehow feel that the Indian bowling attack does not need bowlers like Arshdeep Singh he has not been at his best after the T20WC. That guy gave away 31 runs in his 2 overs which is way above what is expected from a seamer in T20 format.

The way Rinku I'd performing, he's likely to play T20 world cup. I seriously was missing Rohit Sharma yesterday, if he would have been opening the target would have surpassed 200 runs.
Rohit and other veterans are guaranteed to play in t20 wc, series as current are good chance for young players to prove themselves, so let them have chance.

Out of the new players in this new Indian team I think most of them won't be part of the final squad. Mukesh has been bowling very good in the previous and the ongoing series. I think he might replace Arshdeep. I was expecting good batting from Jaiswal but he seems to be inconsistent constantly. That is not a good sign if a batter is looking to cement his place in the main squad. There already a lot of competition happening between batters to take the 5th position, to add to that competition we now have Rinku Singh. I do feel he should be given a chance to bat up the order, he has shown great improvement in his batting capabilities.

Left arm swing bowlers are rare breeds, so I would still back Arshdeep but he needs some kind of guidance about his line and length that is where he is lacking in the recent days, but he did pretty well when defending few runs in the final overs of IPL. And I am also concerned about Gill's consistency on T20I and looking at the record he only made 30+ run three time in the last 15 innings and its not a good sign either so he should not take his spot for granted and if he fails then Ruturaj will swap him in no time for that opening slot because Rutu can give more balance with someone like Hitman at the other end but let's see how the selection committee thinks.

The last match of the T20 series will be played today and it won't rain as per the weather channel. A rain delay is okay for a cricket fan but a game getting abandoned due to rain is bad and if it gets interrupted then the team batting second always has an upper edge. In the last match, I was listening to the commentators and they did say a target of 170 and above is good to defend for India. Due to DLS, the target was slashed the pitch condition was changed and India lost the match. It is crucial for India to win today if they want the series to leveled.

Surya, Rinku are pretty much guaranteed in T20 wc squad, unless injury or something else unfortunate happens. Mukesh Kumar may make it as well, even in wc, imo, he was better choice than Krishna, but thankfully need never arose to play in playing XI.

SKY is confirmed already, Rinku don't know if he will be part of the playing squad. He should be given an opportunity to represent India in the wolrd cup. I do feel K L Rahul will be part of the team after his keeping and good knock in the world cup. I still doubt Kohli as he is a good 50 overs and test player but struggles in T20 format. Bhumrah if he stays fit, Shami and Shiraz would be the pa e attack optional should be Mukesh if anyone gets injured. snip..
After he recovered from dengue, he has been struggling with his timing. Given some more games he will start playing as he used before he feel I'll. He is the next Kohli in the making and needs some time to settle.

I'm hearing rumours KL asking management to bat down the order after having good run batting at this position in wc. He did good well there, as we have seen in his inning of making fastest hundred in wc by Indian, but he did struggled there to hit the shots after just coming to the crease. So, it's not really a viable option in T20 as you'll be often required to hit moment you come to the crease. Let's see, before wc we have ipl, if he changes his batting position there, we'll get to see how he does. He could have competition from Pant too, since he's back, for both wk and his batting position if he changes to middle order batter, again, much of this will on Pant's performance in ipl too.

Rishab Panth is still in the recovering phase after he got injured due to the accident. Shubham Gill is still struggling after he got infected by dengue. These guys need time to recover, they still portray that they are healthy because of the numeration in fiat from BCCI. They are young and they know it would be sometime before they can get secured place in the team. They still are insecure as they have a lot of competitors questioning them and this is what I admire BCCI. They have made what no one expected, an eagerness to be part of the playing 11.

Pant less likely to make it to the next year WC squad unless he did extraordinary in IPL which is less likely to possible after a long break from injury. KL definitely has a guaranteed spot in the squad because Ishan Kishan and KL are the only wicket keepers we have at the moment and don't foget little dynamite also will be looking to fit in if he gets a chance, so there is going to be lot of headache for the selection committee but it will all boils down in the middle of IPL season.

He is not asking anything wrong here, he did play wonderful down the order. The problem is that the same position is being asked by other batter, the management needs to choose the right person. The best person at the position for me is Rinku as he has the ability to come on the ground and hit the ball out of the boundary. Pant, I am doubtful that he would be part of the final 11 as he has not played in any international games for some time now. I am not sure whether he will be playing in the IPL as nothing has come out in the news till now.

Finally India was able to level the T20 series after losing the toss. SKY score of 100 runs helped the Indian team to get a score of 201 runs. Jaiswal contributed 60 runs to the scoreboard with his impressive batting.
The player who did the most damage yesterday was Kuldeep Yadav. He took 5 wickets and three out of the five were clean bowled. Nest destination is the ODI series starting from the 17th of this month.

Yea, Rahul is likely going to be playing anyway due to his experience, but Jitesh Sharma is also a good choice aside from Ishan. Honestly, he only lacks experience otherwise he can be destructive at end overs. He has ability to hit moment he comes to the crease, his hit wicket was unfortunate out in last game, I understand few deliveries were remaining but still. Much will depend on IPL performances indeed. Pant, I am doubtful that he would be part of the final 11 as he has not played in any international games for some time now. I am not sure whether he will be playing in the IPL as nothing has come out in the news till now.
It's not confirmed but he's likely to comeback.

It's not confirmed but he's likely to comeback. I do not know whether he will be playing or not in the IPL or the T20WC. There is one thing I am sure of after seeing a few wicketkeepers/batters playing in his position that he will face fierce competition to get back his place in the team. The names of those players with whom he has to compete are KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan, and this new guy Jitesh Sharma. After the injury it would take some time for him to gain his form and his physical abilities, he got his right leg injured badly if I remember correctly. A keeper/batter needs his leg and if you are a left-hander then you rely a lot on your right leg for footwork. I highly doubt he would get a chance in the World Cup, he might get back to IPL but that is a gray area for us to discuss unless an official statement comes from the BCCI. Till then we need to stop speculating about him being a part of the team or not. No one is to be blamed for his injury as it was his recklessness that got him in his situation and I did say it in on another thread it would not be easy for him to make a comeback.

Mumbai Indians have now appointed Hardik Pandya as the captain of the team for IPL 2024. Why do such unnecessary changes? Rohit Sharma has won the cup 5 times. Replacing him as a captain doesn't make any sense. Did CSK change their captain at all? Dhoni has been the captain from the day CSK was formed.

But from cricketing point of view it makes sense because they are looking long term captain and Hardik has been the captain for team India in this format, so MI took this into consideration and made this move.

Whatever long term plan the MI management has, they will still not be able to beat CSK record or CSK unless Dhoni steps down. Next season too, he would be the captain of CSK, this guy doesn't seem to stop. BTW, both jersey number 10 of Sachin Tendulkar and 7 of MS Dhoni has been retired by the BCCI. A great homage paid by the BCCI to these two legends of Indian cricket.

Snip..
Unbelievable at first they hired Hardik Pandya back and then they declared him as the captain. What will Rohit Sharma do will be the vice-captain or will he be only an opening batter for MI? I do not think this is the right strategy for the MI team considering the way Rohit captained the Indian team in the recently concluded World Cup and his success rate as a captain in IPL.

That is good news as no one can replace their contribution to Indian cricket and both of them were part of the team that won the 2011 World Cup. I think the Jharkhand Cricket Association should come up with a bronze statue of MSD similar to Sachin's in the Wankhede.

MSD guidance did not help Virat in his captaincy, later he had to give it up and concentrate on his batting. The same happened with Sachin Tendulkar where his batting was affected by the captaincy pressure and Dada got to be the captain. Yes, it was the national team and this is a franchise league where the franchises are dependent on the fans for revenue. We know who owns MI, if MI does well under the captaincy of Pandya then fans will come back otherwise it will become a big blunder for MI. Hardik has been able to perform well as an all-rounder after being the captain of two teams. Still, you cannot ignore what Rohit has done for MI and his contribution to getting so many fans for MI.
