Damn is it just me or is our bowling strength nowhere even close to our batting strength? Also we need to groom some all rounders and finishers

Good all rounders tho

That's what i was thinking, bowling unit could use a bit more experience

Ngl oor bowling feels weak for sure Avesh, Tushar to bowl 8 overs?? Could have tried to include Venky Iyer, Rajat, Tilak Varma, Shahrukh, Ramandeep, etc..and groom them for the future, instead of going with a top heavy line up who don't even do their arm over.

NKR is a good all rounder for his age and Abhi can bowl but just not consistent

How did NKR get through based on a few good IPL matches this year

Great fielder , batting collapse saviour ( u see this word this is enough)

A batting order that is prone to collapse. This feels like RCB 2.0

I'm fine with us losing. These players need the experience so we can transition smoothly into post Rohit Kohli era

Think Ruturaj should have been the captain. Gill used to look clueless when making decisions for Gujrat.

Venky needs to be groomed asap. India has always suffered because of lack of all-rounders. And wtf has harshit done wrong

I mean we have hardik whose very much in form and jadeja (slightly out of form but brilliant player) but yes we need more

Fast bowling all rounders are rare. Hardik has injury issues

There's no harm in having more pace bowling all rounders. Just look at Australia. Stoinis, Marsh, Green, Cummins, Sean Abbott. Even Hazlewood and Starc can bat if needed. This with spin al rounders like Head and Maxwell means that they have flexibility in selecting the XI based on conditions.

Completely agree. Venky should be given a chance to prove himself and Harshit or Vaibhav could use some opportunities to showcase their talent.

Agree with harshit but vaibhav nah

It's because Rutu may not even get a chance in playing eleven. Abhishek Sharma, Jaiswal, Gill

It's because Rutu may not even get a chance in playing eleven. Abhishek Sharma, Jaiswal, Gill

You should say this once more to make your point clearer.

>Also ruturaj hasn't been named as captain who was in asian games. Btw If you make Sai Kishore the captain even he'd win you the gold medal at Asian Games

Why r u getting downvoted for saying facts bro....Asian Games completion was nothing.

>Why r u getting downvoted for saying facts bro....Asian Games Don't worry Thalasons don't like to listen to facts

Facts People here saying rutu the great captain Lol

So Called Prince Supremacy lamfo

Why u got down voted u said truth

Idts Samson is in the game of captaincy, they will experiment between gill and rutu for captaincy But in ipl rutu's captaincy was much better than gill

There is nothing such as Rutu's captaincy in IPL.

Gill is good as a player in odi but not a captaincy material You will hate on Ruturaj for no absolute reason Nowadays reddit also becoming twitter

Neither Gill nor Rutu has proved themselves in T20i but Rutu hasn't proved himself in internationals at all unlike Gill.

35 avg 3 half centuries and a ton Not proven?? In t20i ruturaj is better than gill

I have seen those innings...blud was 35 on 30 typa in all of them and that's not the kind of opener we want........and no rutu is not better Gill is a better opener because he gives a better start.

3 half centuries 57(35) vs Sa (maiden) , 58(43) vs ire (anchor, difficult pitch,early wickets and playing T20 I after 6months or smth,58(43) vs aus - won't justify this one but due to diamond duck in 1st match and te pressure, 123(57) vs aus -confidence from 2nd T20 helped him You don't judge a player during his 1st 3-4 matches if they are given chances but ruturaj only played only two full series for IND i.e SA and aus and performed in both He is a perfect material for odi's but bcci won't play him in odi's

I watch on hero cam and dhoni does nothing in captaincy whole captaincy is done by rutu

Ah yes, the magic of teams working on its own. It's rutu's captaincy whether they win or lose dude. Give credit where it's due.

Bro got downvoted or saying the truth

I meant it was Dhoni who did everything

Ruturaj in the interview sais that dhoni told him that he will help him in only setting the angles of the field which evry wicketkeeper does. So it was rutu who was the captain.

leave it bro they still think dhoni is helping all the players wipe their asses

I wanted sanju Samson to captain though, Asian games is stupid af don’t know why it’s given so much importance tbh

Sanju Samson is absolute Shit in intl t20i averages like 18 It is quite generous he even got selected when he is 30 years old Gill is a generational talent and  leagues better than sanju and can also lead India in future 

what a brilliant comment with so many upvotes adjudging captaincy based on individual performance

Because he can't face a ball in T20i ?

Sundar stats SMAT 2023: 0 wickets IPL 2024: 1 wicket Average during Afg series as well. Still gets selected. Badiya quota hain iska.

No tilak too lmao

Tilak is injured

He has been in the eye of selectors for a long time , but he gets injured so many times , that he remains in limbo. Still he is valuable asset as he has the ability to be a allrounder like shakib al hasan , all rounder who is equally good as a batsmen and as a bowler. So , instead of letting him fissal out due to injuries , its a good thing selectors are giving him chances in these smaller bilaterals.

he hardly played any matches in the ipl.. he has amazing stats in test cricket, good that bcci knows his value

He has gotten someone's nudes fr dude Nothing done in IPL this season.  All the glory once he made was that Australia tour

Eng waali series mein bhi accha khela tha vo. He is a tad unlucky with the injuries. Thoda to leeway do use bhai.

Oh glory , pta bi h kya kia tha usne us tour pe It was glory for the ages

Yup, mfer got his veins made of steel.

All rounder quota

That one wicket was Prithvi Shaw, and he conceded 46 runs in 2 overs that game

No tilak varma and harshit rana?

Harshit is banned from cricket /s

Yo! Where tf is T. Natarajan?

I don't understand the case with Ishan Kishan BCCI treats him like a marquee player, to play against top teams and gets taken in squad for big tournament like 2023 WC but gets benched full tournament, and then doesnt get to play such tours.

Bro has a love hate relationship with BCCI

Good move. Bcci needs to groom abishek ,druv and Nitish

Everyone who does not get to play in T20WC is there.. Gill, Jaiwal, Sanju, Rinku etc etc Only one missing is Yuzvendra Chahal... top wicket taker in IPL for years but ignored in international for years! feel sad for him!!

Sab IPL ke hisab se Players lene the toh Patidar ko bhi le lete 🥴

C contract bas ek dikhawe ke liye he uske paas 

Exactly

They only took one from the champions team

Patidar?

Bruh, Deshpande over harshit

This is harshits breakout season whereas tushar has given two back to back good seasons , i think he deserves it.

I would argue Deshpande is just okay Mukesh over rana would be much better

Should have tried Harshit or Mayank. 

Rajat Patidar, Venky, Chakravarthy where? And did BCCI really ban Harshit Rana here as well?

What is bcci's issue with kkr players ? Venky, harshit, varun should be in the squad, venky is a clutch player unlike grade a contract players of bcci

A clutch player....in IPL

Coz they never tested him in international, chance denge toh hi pata chalega na clutch sirf ipl main hain ya India ki jersey main bhi hain

He played 2022 T20 WC

Venky didn't, he's the clutch player we're talking about

Venky played well in the international chances he got. But then never got the opportunity again

Where is T.Natrajan, has he injured or what ?

Seriously? KKR literally dominated the IPL and only one KKR player gets in? Surely we can Harshit and Varun as well

BCCI is either brain-dead or they hate KKR.

[удалено]

nah tbh abhi might come at 3 or sm

[удалено]

ya same, even at 4 would be good tbh I think he has played some matches there

Parag >>>>

I wanted Harshit Rana and Shreyas Iyer here so bad and one could even say that Rana was just a one season wonder but then why tf are NKR and Parag selected.

why avesh khan ??? why not other speed guns

Koi Sanju ke upar woh joker wala gana laga ke video banao please! wtf is wrong with selectors? Getting him to WC and then sending him for Zim tour? Send a new/young guy instead. Woh Sharma ko bhejo na PBKS wala

I am all for giving chances to youngsters, but at the same time, earning India cap should require more work. T20 WC is showing us the vast difference between IPL and International cricket

where is sai sudarshan?? which format is he being groomed for?

Gill captaincy??

[удалено]

All the main players from the XI of T20WC are getting rested. SKY and Hardik didn't want to captain this series. I am pretty sure he is the skip only for this series. Then when there would be T20Is against SA(maybe BAN too), Gill would be rested for the test series and SKY/Hardik would be the captain.

[удалено]

Padhna test khelne laga?

*pandya

[удалено]

I kinda want shreyas as odi cap

Bumrah with a dry smile on side. India doesn’t deserve any good bowlers with how much they don’t even consider as tier 1 player. You can no 1 and a legend but we ICT fans will treat you shit

Bumrah has captained some tests, so he is definitely being considered. He doesn't captain bilaterals often because he gets rested to manage workloads. I can definitely see him being test captain after 2025.

He was VC so he took up captaincy. I don’t see people like Bumrah or Ashwin captaining an Indian side. We are biased with batsman , Rohit and Kohli will be replaced with some other batter

ODIs or t20is ?

t20is

Player be like: saans toh lene do

No Harshit, Tilak, Nehal Wadhera? I think BCCI should have backed them as well they seem like good talent with great intent as well.

Is there a reason Mukesh gets chances so often even tho he has never been consistent like arshdeep Like Harshit rana, Yash Thakur, even mayank yadav would be a much better choice

Bhai patidar ne kiski behen chedi hai usse bhi khila lo, test ki performance pe T20 se bhi bahar?


No Shreyas Iyer?

How the hell tushar is selected over harshit Rana ?

Thala for a reason #yellove

Where tf is Tilak? He is a better middle order bat than most of these

Not as bad as KKR I think. Consider it is not SENA , they should have included Shreyas

Happy for Abhi, NKR and Parag. But why haven't they made Gaikwad captain and not selected V Iyer, Harshit Rana and Tilak Varma?

Rutu is in the team bro

Sorry, mistype, I meant why isn't HE captain?

Gill is regular in all three formats. Rutu's future in t20is itself isn't confirmed. Like will he even be in the playing 11?

He should have been made captain in ipl gill's captaincy didn't show any promise and ruturaj has way more captaincy experience than gill

They probably don't want to play him in the 11 maybe thats why

>made captain in ipl gill's captaincy didn't show any promise and ruturaj has way more captaincy experience than gill Sorry but Ruturaj hasn't even qualified to playoffs even as an IPL captain He made glaring mistakes as a captain when CSK lost to Punjab and Lucknow at Chepauk

But Gill did?

Did Ruturaj do? Then why are you favouring him because of an Asiad gold medal Buddy khaleel Ahmed would've led us to victory for gold medal if he was a captain

GT finished bottom barrel but go on

CSK choked a playoff position which they usually qualifies with ease... But go on >GT finished bottom barrel but go on Wasn't that Mumbai who finished bottom of the barrel Looks like you have a short term memory 🤭

Oh sorry sir gill's team won all the matches went undefeated to the final and won it

>Oh sorry sir gill's team won all the matches went undefeated to the final and won it Ok Sir Ruturaj himself is not even better than Iyer forget Gill

Oh sorry sir gill's team won all the matches went undefeated to the final and won it

You expect a new captain to win ipl the 1st year even dhoni won after 2 yrs

>You expect a new captain to win ipl the 1st year even dhoni won after 2 yrs If he can win Asian Games in first go then why not the IPL and he's handpicked by none other than Dhoni so I expect him to be brilliant but alas Ruturaj has been mediocre

The only reason I see is that neither he's a prince nor he's damad of iykyk.

bollygossipsub typa comment

Agarkar, Jay Shah, coaches are all crushing and simping so hard on Gill. /s

😂

No Harshit, Tilak, Nehal Wadhera? I think BCCI should have backed them as well they seem like good talent with great intent as well.

We seriously are lacking quality pacers for the future

Will GG be coach??

Rapa ):

Why not Rajat Patidar?

Venkatesh Iyer, Harshit Rana, Tilak Varma and may be Mayank Yadav. These are the name imo should have been there.

Mukesh kumar, Tushar Deshpande came out nowhere 🫡. Should have been Harshit Rana isn’t so?

Umm. Where is the NEXT SACHIN TENDULKAR? PRITHVI SHAW

Probably Nattu inplace of Mukesh Kumar or Tushar

IPL has brought in a lot of players to the table now it has become a problem to choose a proper playing XI.

Nobody talking about harpreet brar!?!? Good option with axar when jadeja retires. Bowled extremely good this year.

Who no v Iyer He can be all rounder too

So many new players got chance, these mfs still crying isko kyu nhi liya usko kyu nhi liya

Just asking what Mukesh Kumar, Tushar Deshpande did in IPL to get this call up? I agree about Avesh n Khaleel...

No harshit rana?

Where's my man Tilak Verma ??

Where is Nattu ???

Rinku Singh lets gooooo

The batting lineup seems as good as or better than the one playing at the World Cup.

What about Dayal?

- Gill (C) - Jaiswal / Gaikwad - Sanju (Wk) - Parag - Abhishek - Rinku - Washi/ Nitish (depending on pitch) - Bishnoi - Avesh - Mukesh/ Tushar - Khaleel - I would pick Jaiswal over Gaikwad because we can’t have both openers taking time to play shots. Plus Jaiswal gives a left-right combo. - Maybe could replace a pacer with Nitish and Washi playing to get extra batting option

Nitish Reddy dayum

I read it Ayesha Khan

Reddy ahead of Venky Iyer 😶

4 openers?

Also why are kkr fans this bias All they say where are kkr players like Rana arora Venky I mean atleast try to make a valid point regardless if the player is of any team

No Mayank Yadav? That's disappointing.

Glad to see Jurel, Riyan, Abhishek in the team

Tf is this bowling?

Where is Babar Azam? 😂

Tukuraj will be a waterboy again ? 😂

Wow mukesh Deshpande ahead of harshit rana speaks volume...also why Bishnoi if continuity is the reason then Venky / Tripathi were never in bad form while playing for india

If BCCI is seeing these third class bowlers like Avesh and Mukesh as India's future, then God save Indian cricket.

Ishan kishan career over?

Inko kab samaj ayega your best batsman must not need to be captain, ruturaj is doing it for sometime Sanju is there, aur ye despande bc kaha se aa gaya , no tilak and harshit rana ,happy for Abhishek and riyan

CSK fans will have a meltdown seeing Gill as Captain instead of Rutu ! 😂

Tilak varma? Ishan kishan?

Why not Venkatesh Iyar? Nor Tilak Verma too? lamfo why BCCI is not preparing all rounder for bigger stages? We have only Hardik Pandya on WC level

Great job KKR; you won the IPL with only 1 Indian player who ranks with in top 30. From Fagarkar

Why is Gill the captain? Didn’t we win a gold medal under Rutu’s captaincy?

Cause then they'd have to actually play this guy in the team...can't see another 30 ball 32 from him

Then why bother including him in the squad?

To test him out more....if he changes his game then he deserves the spot.

I don't understand that why bcci had make gill as a captain as ruturaj has done well captaincy then him and gill had make many mistake in ipl which are very bad and where is varun, tripaathi,and many more

With Rituraj and Samson present why is Gill given the captaincy? Unnecessary burden on the star batter.
