India cricket Discussion and predictions [self-mod]

Don't think so Sanju is out for long peiod ..he is in Asian games Squad if i'm not wrong , this looks like some 2nd string team as we always send them in Zimbabwe ..just noticed Axar is out too even GG's favourite Sunder out of the team.This Zimbabwe tour be another humilation if they didn't take this seiously ..i guess they are not seeing how Zim playing in last few months under ther new captain Navegra..those twin tower Might bundle out this lineup for less 120-130 atleast in one game.

The BCCI selectors are setting a wrong example by not selecting the player of the tournament in the WC. After not performing in just three matches, he has been dropped from the team. He has been replaced by Prabhsimran Singh, who will also be the backup wicketkeeper. Justice for Sanju gang again got activated on social media. Now we will see a lot of posts on social media about his drop.

So sanju is out for good?

Rinku was given an opportunity in WC out of nowhere and he didn't do anything and now he's back in the t-20 squad. T-20 setup atm looks like running on rotation basis, sab ko chance do. Bowling ka bura haal lag raha hai.

As I said they are trying to fit in a finisher into the squad which we lack in this current England touring squad but who they are going to sacrifice if they want a dedicated finisher?

So Dube is third in line for the all-rounder slot, we really need Kunfu Pandaya back as soon as possible.

Rinku ne kaun se jhande gaad diye finisher role mein lol

In this team both pandaya and Dube has almost permanent slot if fit. Dube has done more than enough in his career, played more than dozens of impact ful innings with the bat.

Don't think so Sanju is out for long peiod ..

Curse of having so many top order talent.

Sanju Samson will be working his magic to get back into the team. After his exclusion from the team, India registered their biggest loss in T20 history, adding to their continuous string of defeats in the format.

The strategy of Gambhir to attack right from the start is backfiring completely, as the players are struggling to adapt to the conditions. On top of that, Shreyas Iyer is mismanaging the bowlers and looks completely clueless most of the time, it is a terrible start to his captaincy career. It looks like a curse from Suryakumar Yadav.

Someone said that he is in asian game squad so he's not completely out. SKY deserved the kick tho. Iyer's is in tough honeymoon period and sample size is small so I'll hold my judgement on his captaincy

I just want to understand mindset of Gambhir, why would you promote Rana up the order and too ahead of dube. I now seriously think that rana has his nudes lol.

It was humiliating defeat but still not worried about our batting. All of em are solid players and match winners, it looks like a bad phase for batting and it's good that we are seeing these fault lines and bad form early. I'm sure they will be back in business when it's time for wc campaign.

Bowling back up looking meh tho, varun losing his marbles should be a concern now.

Are they trying to make Rana a finisher? Or someone who push RR when needed but either case that is bad.

We all forgot about Tilak Varma who had okaish IPL but someone managed to get the vice captain position and still not doing anything, he should be given the same sabbatical, then only he will come in as effective to realize how hard is to get a spot in playing XI for India.

Varun's mystery is gone, players are reading his balls clearly so he needs to bring more variations though or tricks like Narine.

Yeah, said in main thread, Tilak is trying to be accumlator which is not helping the team. He did decent job in finisher role tho.

Idk what they are trying to do with Rana. Possibly pushing their luck and see if he clicks with the bat, rana did swing his bat successfully in few matches so maybe that's why they ( gauti) promoting him in batting

The whole batting lineup is messed up right now. These were the same guys who were part of the WC squad, and some of them were exceptional. I think flat pitches are to be blamed for this mess. Gauti is doing his own experiments, and none of them are giving him the results he expects. Today, if they lose, then they lose the series, and this will be the second one.

Rana did pretty good but for some reason Gautham or the team management swapped him with Prasidh, who can be a great bowler on his day or he will leak too many runs.

At the moment 4 wickets down and 4 top edges that really tells the whole story behind the series of loss recently. I am sure every other team will also exploit the lack of technical players in the upcoming series.

Shreyas is sticking around and got a half-century.

And we lost another series. This is frustrating! Look at the runs scored by the opening pair again throughout the series. In the next match, will GG remove Abhishek and try Sanju with Vaibhav? If we do not win the last match, then another whitewash is imminent. In the bowling department, except for Arshdeep, the others were costly, and none took a wicket. We lost the game because we did not want to win, it seems.

The batting lineup is almost the same as the undefeated team that they had in the World Cup. Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya are the only other members missing from that winning squad, yet they are struggling to find any momentum. Since the player of the tournament is not in the team right now, I think they should include him (definitely biased on my side ). They should rest Abhishek Sharma and pair Sanju Samson with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to establish a left and right handed combination for the final game.
