India cricket Discussion and predictions [self-mod]

Sanju Samson can play the anchor role and, personally, I would like to see him in the team, like he demonstrated during the World Cup; unfortunately, the current administration prefers flashy players.

If team actually need an anchor for opener role they why go with the sanju, there are better anchor openers sitting out and some has better consistency with the bat for example gill. You can't find better anchor than him in current lot.

Because of current management, sanju get to play the wc and still in the mix.

Sai is another better choice if they don't want Gill, he got techniques and numbers as wel in the IPL and consistency we can't get any better than his IPL records. Even I thought Sanju is done for good for multiple times but duede still finds a way to get in and whenever he is not in the playing XI but in bench the pair just suck and he get some matches where he performs big on rare occasions.

^^ can make peace with Gill's selection but i hope itne bure din na aaye ki selectors thinking about Sai etc for opening slot lol

It'll just mean that our t-20 side is doomed and likes of Jaiswal, suryavanshi, sanju, abhishek failed completely.

If not Gill then Sai is likely the replacement for Gill that is what I said. Pairing such a batter along with likes of Vaibhav or Jaiswal will be a deadly combo rather than pairing with another hit-or-miss player because we need one bankable player at the top so that others can play around them with high sr.

Rutu should consider changing his permanent residency if he wants to play for the international side.

Wanting Sanju in the team is my personal bias, but he has actually performed well in that role. Yashasvi Jaiswal is another extraordinary talent missing out on certain matches in the T20 side and sitting out, along with other top-order players like Sai Sudharsan and Devdutt Padikkal. This abundance of talent means India could literally make an A, B, and C team and still defeat some international teams.

All four names will rotate in the opening position for a few years. Unless and until someone performs exceptionally well in the IPL, they won't get a chance to replace this quartet.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal could continue their RR partnership at the international level. Personally, I do not want to see Gill in the T20s as there are other good strikers of the ball. Sanju Samson can be added to create a left-right combination.

Not a bad option to go with Viabhav and Jaiswal, both are young and destructive from the ball one but they are a similar kind of player, which is not working since they are following the same strategy but with ABishek who is even better striker of the ball than Jaiswal as of now.

Sanju is talented but he lacks consistency and he has always been like that, dude comes up with one or two match-winning knocks in 10 games and fuckup the remaining 8.

The problem is that standing with Vaibhav is hurting Jaiswal's reputation more as a T20 batter/opener. When on one side you have a batter with a strike rate of more than 200%, it gives a negative outlook to your strike rate of 152%. He has a good strike rate if compared with others, but the selectors will not understand it, and that is why he is not part of the T20 squad. He is only being considered for ODI, which India plays rarely in bilateral series.

That's kinda true, vaibhav overshadowing Jaiswal as his opening partner and in last season every thing was about young prodigy.

Think one of the major reason Sanju read writing on the wall as RR's skipper. Other than that, In captaincy, Parag name was popping up and

In IPL, it really affected Jaiswal but if they are playing for India then we won't have any competition over the strike rate because the ultimate reason is to get into the national side and once they got in, they should play to their role according to their strengths. I would be happy if both are opening for the Indian T20 side, but it won't happen unless Abishek sharma is injured or got into any other drama like Ishan.

Jaiswal is a more calculated attacker than Vaibhav Sooryavanshi or Abhishek Sharma. Sanju lacks consistency because his position in the team is always on the edge, he faces immense pressure whenever he comes out to bat.

The truth is, if you put anyone in the history of cricket against the young Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, especially when he is at the crease in T20s, they will pale in comparison. He reminds me of a young David Warner when he first started playing cricket.

Like I mentioned above, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will overshadow everyone; his age and stroke play are something completely new. I still remember Gayle making his debut and most of the time Wavell Hinds was his opening partner, and anyone who watched those matches will know that Hinds was visually a much better stroke player than Gayle for a long period of time.

Sachin Tendulkar had this hype before making his debut, and Brian Lara had a lot of hype in the Caribbean islands. Even though he did not make a big score before his international debut, he was touted as the future of West Indies cricket. Graeme Hick had similar hype, but he did not live up to it. So, time tell whether Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will live up to the hype he created.
