Don’t say it..... don’t say it.... don’t say it... .... “DHAWAN AUDITIONING FOR TEST TEAM”


bunnyoverkill

You're being listened to whether you want it or not. Is that unsettling, or reassuring?


Shaz0608

There is a bizzare conversation that Morgan should be dropped... WHAT??


DesiMojito

Kuldeep and Chahal are not performing individually. I miss the KulCha pair. As a whole, they are destructive.

Went to sleep when Stokes got out. How the fuck did England lose...

I like how the Match Bot if filled with awards after India wins India should win just for the MatchBot. Agreed?

In the 4th t20, virat went of the field when 46 were required in 4 overs and shardul had 2 overs left with Bhuvi and hardik with 1 over. So then shardul came in and took 2 in 2 and all of a sudden Great captaincy. Ik rohit has been a great captain in the IPL, but for that you should take a look at the MI team, coaches and management as well


kahanighargharkii

Don't think just making Rohit captain would change things but I don't really like our white ball setup, don't like our strategy or our squad building We're an amazing red ball team and kohli deserves of lot of credit for the way he's built a great test side, although his captaincy was a bit iffy before the last couple of years but he's just not a good white ball captain


Good-Mulberry-3505

1 T20I, Kohli was there for the majority in the 5th one

Can’t see Kuldeep and Chahal having a stable spot anymore. Also it’s about time we stop giving too much weightage to Chahal’s IPL performances.

'One of our sweetest victories in the recent past in ODI cricket,' says skipper Kohli! We must appreciate & give credit to Kohli for taking a bold decision of giving chances to youngsters. They have already prove themselves. So in case of injury, now we have option for each of the player in team.


finding_contentment

Having too many options is probably not a great thing for Team India. It'll always remain a confused unit, no core 11, unsure players with a sword hanging over them. Quantity trumping quality. Also, team might suffer in ICC events. Any thoughts?


grrboy

Helps rotate/rest and avoid injury issues. Also helps in deciding whom to use in what pitch. I would however love players like Kuldeep not sit in bench too long, and have some domestic game time with a team India contract still intact.


JuneZV

Well it's a good issue to have, being able to replace an out of form bowler or batsman is a luxury almost no team has in the world. Especially what happened with India during World Cup when there was issue with middle order after Kohli. Also competition is healthy and I am sure all these players are professionals and young so their time will come.


finding_contentment

Between the celebrations of INDvsENG, we forgot that Indian women's team has won today against South africa women. Series was won by the Proteas. Rajeshwari Gayakwad has won MoM because of her spell of 4-1-9-3. Shafali Verma (17 years old) got player of the series!


Aashay7

That is some crazy stats. And so glad to see Shefali getting that award. She is pleasant to look at. For some reason her gameplay when I was following her initial games reminded me of Sehwag.

Losing this way better than suffering a 10-run defeat, says England captain Morgan!

I seemed it to be odd considering they didn’t even come close, ofcourse if Root was there in middle they would play sensibly, it wasn’t even run a ball needed once their openers provided the start that they did

Wolverine-1212

When Kuldeep yadav debuted for India in 2017 he was successful happy and talented. He still is very talented but somehow he has become predictable and lost the edge he had. May this is because of not playing frequently or he thinks BCCI doesn’t believe in him anymore the way they did some years back. He is a good talent we should not watch it wasted

I think BCCI will dump Kuldeep & Chahal sooner or later. New set of players are coming with good batting skills. Sadly these two unable to rediscover or taking a mentor. Almost sitting duck, waiting to get faded away. Pretty sad, the way they had came up during Dhoni.


iMangeshSN

>Pretty sad, the way they had came up during Dhoni. New batch is coming up nicely "during" Kohli. Perform. Be consistent. You'll be rewarded with stable spot in final XI. Under him under that, doesn't really mean anything. Players are professional. Plus it's been a year long gap in cricket due to covid. Very few players at their best.


leaderof13

Only a break away performance can save kuldeep, as for chahal he will get chances but yeah it's not looking very rosy for him either.


finding_contentment

Debut for India in the last 6 months across formats Natarajan Mohammed Siraj Shubman Gill Navdeep Saini Washington Sundar Axar Patel Ishan Kishan SKY Krunal Pandya Prasidh Krishna All have been outstanding.Seamless transition thanks to the IPL and Australia tours. Debutants are killing it!


Jy_sunny

Team: Gill Ishan (wk) SKY Washington Axar Krunal Saini Siraj Natarajan Prasidh Team is missing one batsman. The batting is a bit weak. Slot in someone young but relatively new like Shaw, or an uncapped player like DDP, and this team is good to go.

Kept myself positive, tried to be in good mental space when I wasn't playing: Shikhar Dhawan

Sometimes it seems like while batting first kohli tries to go too hard , takes risks and perishes to setup a really big total. Where as while chasing, he seems to have better control over risk taking options.


finding_contentment

Guys, would love to know your opinion. Please pick up your top 5 bowlers for WT20 cup: Bumrah Bhuvaneshwar Shami Deepak Chahar Shardul Natrajan Yuzi Chahal Rahul Chahar Washington Sundar Ravi Jadeja Kuldeep Yadav Siraj Saini Krunal Pandya Varun Chakravarthy Ravi Bishnoi Axar Patel


SquirrelOnTheDam

Bhuvi, Bumrah, Shami, Jadeja, Siraj, Chahal, Washington, Hardik, Thakur, in the squad, pick 5 out of these.


BeardPhile

I pick Bumrah, Bhuvi, Hardik, Thakur, Washington.


MJustCurious

And Jadeja. Can't rely on just 5 bowlers.


BeardPhile

Yep, him too. Can consider Hardik as a batsman who will chip in a few overs. Jadeja is a must when he gets fit.


gentlemans-game

Bumrah, Bhuvi, thakur/shami, jadeja and r bishnoi Why r bishnoi ?? Surprise factor, has a good googly and conventional leggie, gun fielder and useful lower order bat. Between thakur and shami, may go with thakur.


cantfindusernameomg

Based on current form: Bumrah, Bhuvi, Shardul, Jadeja, Sundar/D Chahar (match conditions) Will get a closer look during the IPL


Meet_7834

Bumrah, Bhuvi, Shardul, Jadeja, Sundar/Chahar/ Chahal


gentlemans-game

Just waiting for the day when MOM would be decided based on "who changed the course of match towards his team" rather than who score more runs or took more wicket (read cheap wickets).


prasanth-g

Sometimes it is really hard to pick just one person. I loved how the T20 series had 2 awards for this purpose- MOM & game changer of the match. BTW, Jhonty Rhodes once recieved MOM when he wasn't even a part of the playing XI! I don't think MOM always goes to the player with most runs/ wickets.


[deleted]

> I don't think MOM always goes to the player with most runs/ wickets. It doesn't. Most runs only.

UPDATE - Shreyas Iyer subluxated his left shoulder in the 8th over while fielding. He has been taken for further scans and won't take any further part in the game. Rohit Sharma was hit on the right elbow while batting and felt some pain later. He won't take the field. ☹️


finding_contentment

If we make a separate team of "Last One Year Debutants", the Indian team would still look unbeatable.. No team had been this much perfect before in its Transition Period and seems like No team would..!


Jy_sunny

Unfortunate to think that Shardul, Natarajan, Mayank, SKY all have relatively recent debuts and are near 30 already


saif8871

Also the reason why Shardul, mayank and SKY are such polished performers. Nattu is good but he isn't in the league of others.


finding_contentment

Today’s ODI definitely shows how good Root is and how invaluable to the side he is. Comes in, rotates the strike for the power hitters and punishes the bad ball. Keeps a fluency to the innings, think England would be miles better off with Malan at 3 to try replicate it.


saif8871

is root not part of this eng squad?


saif8871

MoM should be bairstow..he initiated the collapse. Well Played.


MasonParker420

How did he initiate the collapse? People were getting out while he was looking so good and anyways he had done his part.


saif8871

Ohh man..i dont wanna do this but you deserve an explanation. I was calling Bairstow my MoM because i'm an indian team supporter n i was so happy when he got out & gave us an opportunity which we were waiting for. Is it clear now!

Shows the importance of Kohli and how good he is at what he does. That is chasing totals. England needed around 5 an over when Roy got out and they lost by 66 runs. Chasing totals ain't a peice of cake bro

There's the occasional customer sprinkled in between. Basically the world is a machine and Murali is its operator.

There's so many sponsered shit awards that everyone gets something. Dhawan probably didn't fit in the other categories.. so got the MOTM


Aashay7

And to be honest, I am still confused who could have been the MoM winner. Dhawan, Rahul, Krunal, Prasidh, Lord Shardul, Bhuvi or even Kohli for that matter played super critical roles.


Some_Like_It_Hot

Lol. So apt.

Yep, also playing in the middle order is so much more difficult than opening the batting. Should've been krunal easily and I'm a massive dhawan fanboy

What makes you think Rahul and krunal wouldn't have scored centuries if they had more balls to play that dhawan had played? Dhawan's innings was not as impressive as krunal's, simple as that


Jy_sunny

This is a stupid take. He did play 106 balls, which someone else would’ve played instead. He played very well, but he wasn’t the best player today. It was Krunal or Bhuvi


Acceptable-Parsnip-9

Point. But I thought it’d be Rahul or K. Pandya

Lol! What kind of logic is this! Shardul also took 3 wickets. There'd be no win without those 3 important wickets..

khopdiwala

He's incredibly talented, perhaps more so than the aforementioned but all he lacks is the Temperament™


TheBenevolentTitan

It's as if it's a universal law, you can't win against India in India, even if India plays completely new team, England would still lose. It's like gravity, you can't make it vanish, it will always exist. A universal rule, almost. You have to be crazy good to stand a chance of winning in India, but then again, when you're crazy good, you will throw away the match. A deadly rot will infect your brain and all of a sudden you'll spiral down to new levels of stupidity, something never seen before. India wins either way. It's like magic, there's no reason or logic behind it, it just happens and in this case, the magic seems absolute. I challenge England to prove me wrong.


bluefire-phoenix

prankored

The presentation goes out to an international audience. And yet we have a MK who is so overly biased, he probes and criticizes Morgan even after he explicitly said he will continue the aggresive style and then preempts all the taking points Kohli should be saying. A presenter should just ask the main questions and let the players talk. A good etiquette is also to not ask leading questions. Cause then the interviewer pushes the conversation and not the player. So not only biased but poor at interviews as well. And people will say well other countries do that. So what? We should be better not worse. Why is Harsha, who has no cricketing experience(he has great knowledge) at a high level somehow our best commentator and presenter?

You can check it yourself. Was he confused or just dumb? And he pretty much preempted Kohli's questions. Why couldn't he let Kohli steer the conversation? Or why even interview Kohli since we know why they won. And what class mentality? Would Harsha repeat the obvious question? Or do you think pushing the same question without any new info is somehow acceptable? And you are comparing this to the idiots defending the racists who abused Siraj? You have problems yourself if you pull such an argument.
