India cricket Discussion and predictions [self-mod]

^^ i don't think there is much ICC can do ..South African pitches have lost their juices & if you try to manufacture a good wicket it's usually turned into a nightmare & you will get a sub 200 wicket.Across the 48 matches played, teams averaged roughly \(256.5\) runs per innings, making it the highest-scoring single edition in ODI World Cup history(This is a stat from 2023 Wc ) & if i can remove Sri Lankan fixtures we will probably get the same result for Last T20 Wc.

What i meant by playing Reddy/Axar/Hardik together is atleast we strengthen our batting coz playing Kuldeep is a risk now ..i have totally lost confidence on him he needs to get his wrist surgery done or he might get dropped.Btw don't think you noticed they picked sunder in the team ,,now tell me how he is an upgrade on Bapu.

Rohit,Gill,Virat,Iyer,KL,Hardik,Reddy,Axar/Sunder,Bumrah,Arshdeep & Third Pacer

Nah, I do believe ICC actually take over for good and does more than enough when it's ICC tournaments and pitches are usually competitive and diverse as well where no one has monopoly.

Problem with this combination ( relying on all rounders) is you are going with only 5 specialist batters and 4 specialist bowlers ( 3 specialist bowlers if you are replacing axar with Sunder) so you are short on both departments and you are just assuming that your allrounder will give you 20 overs, it could backfire badly if one of your specialist bowlers is having off day, same could happen in batting.

Likes of reddy and sunder can't finish their quota at all ( maybe sundar can but on his best day with big IF). Hardik is trump card but even can't finish his full quota ( in his 94 odi career, he finished his quota only 2 times).

^^ I was trying to think like GG , we all know he is gonna play 2-3 all rounders & he is definitely playing Sunder ..likes him too much to not play him especially after dropping Axar   ..he also gonna play Harshit Rana so that's take Siraj's postion too & since Jadeja not get picket too it's curtains for his ODI cricket career too .

He did this experiment in test and we got belted, he was trying washi vs axar thing in t-20 wc too and we almost lost the plot. He's gauti so you never know what he'll do next.

That's possible but siraj is up on the pecking order in ODI. Jaddu's case is tricky because his replacement axar is more than ready.

The defending champions are into the finals not because they played exceptionally well, but because GT was absolutely pathetic on the field, and their batting sucked. Cannot blame the bowler when the pitch itself is made for the batter; only good fielding can win matches. Bad luck or lack of batter concentration, I never expected Sai Sudarshan to get out in this manner like he did yesterday. Today I hope both the match should be better than what I saw yesterday.

It is not a big secret that the fielding standards are really poor this season, with 169 catches dropped so far this season till now as per the stats with a few matches left. Gujarat Titans are not the worst fielding side this season, they just dropped 19 catches so far  .

RCB are in the final because they played exceptional cricket, you cannot score 254 runs by playing casually.

They are playing the highest level of cricket and it is pathetic to see dropped catches at this level. If you drop catches in club cricket, you get abused badly. what are these players doing while earning millions. 

Today I hope both the match should be better than what I saw yesterday.

The same formula, the team batting first trying to score the maximum runs and RR is doing exactly that. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi chased the record for the fastest IPL century but unfortunately got out for 97 runs, he already broken the record for the most 6's in a single season.
