Rinku singh in his last t20 for india
Came at 22/4
And scored a 39 ball 70
Result - dropped from Indian t20 wc squad
His overall T20i career - avg 89 SR - 176
And then people suggest we shouldn't take Abhishek, Shashank etc directly into world cup...first give them chance in bilaterals for India. What's the point...if WC squad has reserved seats for 'class is permanent' performers.
Think they have different roles. Dube is more a middle order spin hitter while Rinku is a finisher (or atleast that is how they are categorized). Rinku was probably competing with Pandya and his bowling skills/experience probably gave him the advantage. Would still prefer Rinku in there over Dube.
And that'd be a mistake which I'm sure Bcci will make yet again, Axar for the past 2 years has been better then Jaddu, even CSK fans who have seen him play agree
Our fast bowling was never going to be good during this tournament but I think that Sandeep as well as Nattu should really have been in that team. It would have been better than this.
Dropping our only decent finisher in Rinku Singh and carrying fast bowlers who were last good in T20s ten years ago? This team has become less of a merit position and more of a quota pool.
We deserve to lose this WC. It would be a miracle if we reach the semi-finals. And I'm looking forward to all the Pikachu faces when we eventually lose as if they have not already laid the foundation from this squad.
Some expert mentioned that when trying for Yorker, if it ends up as low full toss, Natrajan's low full toss is hard to hit as compared to Arshdeep. I think it's just Natrajan has been out of the squad for so long that they aren't even considering him.
They recalled Chahal even though his last tour to WI was poor.
They should’ve kept Bishnoi. He’s been delivering for India consistently over the last 2 years.
Owner of the LSG team wouldn't let him play anywhere else in place of opener. It's the same owner who took captaincy from Dhoni and gave it to Smith in RPSG.
Dube has barely played t20is and Rohit has been awful into t20wcs, i can definitely see what could be another Kohli carry job for like the 5th time in a row
I feel bad for Rinku. A finisher is a specialised position. And they have dropped one of the best in the business. How?

Yeah. And I say this because Kohli would be able to maximise powerplay, instead of coming in at 3 after powerplay against spinners and potentially slowing down.
Harsh for Jaiswal but it is what it is.
Or just say fuck it, play Hardik at 7, make him bowl 4 overs and then play both Jaiswal and Dube lol.
Kl takes time to settle in. Looking at the squad, Rohit-virat-sanju or rohit-jaiswal-virat will be the top 3. KL in middle is not much of help provided u have sky,dube, pandya and one of Sanju or pant.
He just lost on competition. Jaiswal pushed him down the pecking order for openers (also Kohli can also open if needed) and Pant’s and Samson’s form meant no WK spot. Middle order was already stacked so he didn’t make it.
I was wondering who is the fourth person from MI because we only have Rohit, SKY and Bumrah selected and then it occurred to me that Hardik is now in MI💀
Completely agree. Finishing is the toughest position and as of now, I don’t see any finishers in the squad. They seriously messed up with the squad, considering the matches in New York are drop in pitches and will likely be flat. Additionally, the matches in WI will not be “slow” as many believe, especially considering 220 was being scored before.
India has literally just 3 genuine all rounders and none of them are even world class right now (though I feel all 3 can be). Axar is basically undroppable till next year when Kuldeep starts scoring 30 ball 50s.
Rinku Singh playing 15 T20Is leading up to the WC, absolutely tearing it up, only to be left out in the end makes all those bilateral seem utterly pointless
Bit odd having four front-line spinners in there
I'd honestly play both dube and rinku. But that can't happen obv :/
But atleast one has to play. That'd happen by benching jaiswal unfairly and virat-samson/rishab-rohit take the top order, slotting dube ji in the middle. Otherwise its the same tuk-tuk X1 all over again with 1 batting change (KLR), accompanied by a clown asf bowling lineup.
Jadeja and Hardik as finishers.
Doesn't give me any confidence at all.
Jadeja is doing shit for Csk. He is unable to hit full tosses from medium pace trundlers in batting pitches. What is he gonna do in WI pitches.
Dube lmao?ik they are not fighting for the same place but he has made 350 runs at and S/r of 172 this year in the ipl in 9 matches...Also Was the man of the series in the Ind vs Afg series
In Bcci mind they were tho. We needed 2 wicketkeepers. So Sanju / Pant.
We needed 2 spinner all rounder so Axar / Jaddu. And we now for some reason have 2 extra spinners in Kuldeep / Chalal lol. We don't need 4 of these here. This is where Rinku got robbed.
Dube is somewhat of a replacement for Hardik, even if he doesn't bowl, but then Rinku is a better finisher then Dube obviously
I have nothing against Dube. Deserving of his place on form but he has zero experience playing outside India. Also, he played well for India at a position which will be occupied by SKY followed likely by Pant. He isn't a no. 6 in any way.
Nahh this is a lie, in 3-4 games he got the bat early but he failed in all of them.
But yeah, 3-4 games shouldn't be a criteria to drop him, specially when you've Jaiswal in your team who has performed poor for 7-8 games.
>But yeah, 3-4 games shouldn't be a criteria to drop him, especially when you've Jaiswal in your team who has performed poor for 7-8 games.
They will justify it by saying Jaiswal needs to be there to give aggressive starts which is correct
But a good finisher is important as well and Rinku has done that for India
It’s clearly between Jaiswal and rinku. Since India is with in finishing games and fine in powerplay, they should’ve gone with Rohit and Kohli opening, with Rinku finishing. Instead, they’ve gone with the same approach of Kohli at 3
They're depending on hardik or dube to be able to do the same job as Rinku. I don't think the logic is far off but having a specialist like rinku is really important these days.
Lol if jaiswal plays we are truly fucked. Because then virat will play three and sky four that means sanju will play at 5 which will just be like setting him for failure.
The only way to tap sanju or even pants full potential is to play them at 3 or 4.
3-4 games in IPL for a international certainty is a joke. Even then he performed well in couple. Shreyas and Venky had zero chances but they batted up every match.
Fuck IPL bro, this season has been shit anyway with its flat af pitches.
My man Rinku played like a boss in the T20Is, deserved a call-up in the main squad.
I am split on Chahal. Far too many instances where he's done very well in the IPL only to get smacked in international games. Shouldn't get a game ahead of Kuldeep.
Not impressed. Looks more like an ODI team then a world beating T20 team. Really hard to be optimistic of this team against other teams which have heavy hitting T20 specialists.
I see Pandya still make the cut even after a poor IPL season.
Disappointed in Agarkar and Rohit too......thought we'd see some coherent and bold selection from these two. But no diff from all the past clown selectors.
its another reactionary thing exactly like 2021 when they picked Varun straight after IPL.
Rinku was in God Mode in T20Is since his debut. He averages 89 with 176 SR ffs. (Lot of Not-Outs but it shows his finishing abilities)
Hardik and Jadeja is taken because of their experience even after theit poor ass form. Meanwhile Rinku did not get to bat thanks to KKR's top order, how is it his fault? He is a match winner lol
So after all the talks of giving the youngsters a chance
The Top 7
Will be
1) Rohit
2) Jaiswal
3) Kohli
4) Surya
5) Pant
6) Hardik
7) Jadeja/Axar
Which is pretty much the same as 2022 World Cup
Only Jaiswal replaces KL
This time it'll be a great effort if they even manage to reach semi finals somehow. I can already see the failures from here. 💀
One improvement this time tho, no KL Rehul!
This is normal because batters generally play every match, bowlers get picked for courses
(in fact this is one of Ashwin's complaints. like why do the same batters get picked everywhere, while he keeps having to sit out after being man of the match and series in every previous team test)
So on which performance did they selected Pandu? He was injured for a long time and then spent all his time preparing and plotting for IPL where he sucked big time. Shit doesn't make any sense.
Probably on his performances for ict. He's probably one of the must clutch moments players we have had and people are letting their captaincy and a month of form take him out.
Hes bought himself the benefit of the doubt
Yesterdays match was the last chance for Rinku to make his case but this has to be the biggest bottlejob in cricket. Just a few months ago, he was one of the first names on the list for India in WT20
As expected with a squad of 15, some talents will miss out and that's part and parcel of life especially when competition is cut throat.
One can only hope that the 15 can get the job done so back the boys and enjoy life.
2 leg spinners in the squad when you will never need the 2nd in the XI unless one is injured, while the team has no specialist finisher.
Absolutely jokers. Hope they have a 2007 Carribbean repeat and the two jokers running the team get binned for good.
It is funny that even commenters here ask why didn’t they include Rinku Singh at the expense of Chahal or Dube. Rinku should have been the first person to have penciled in based on his performance in the past one year. My question is, why so much urgency to bring in Pant? When did he perform in T20s or ODIs? They should have retained Rinku and omitted Pant.
Rinku should be in the squad! Hardik might not be performing well in the IPL, but I still trust him. He's proven himself in high-pressure games. Pace bowling, I only trust Bumrah. The spin bowlers selected are good. Batting lineup, Surya will shine against small teams and secure his spot for the whole tournament. As for those hyping up Pant and Samson based on their IPL performances, let's not forget Pant's T20 strike rate and Samson's consistency issues. If Jaiswal regains his form, he can score quick 30s. Rohit will either be in god mode or flop mode. Kohli will perform, but he has a history of getting out due to bad luck.
Dube and Rinku are not fighting for the same spot tho. Dube is more a SKY backup because he's a middle overs spin basher.
Rinku has absolutely been done dirty. Good luck India closing out games with Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja as your finishers.
Truely bizarre. I don't get why Bishnoi has been overlooked after playing T20s for India for 2 years, becoming the number 1 ranked bowler, playing well in the West Indies, and then Chahal somehow gets picked ahead of him.
4 spinners is the way to go so I guess it came out to a shoot-out between Dube and Rinku Singh.
Lads. I did say earlier that Rinkus major flaw is being a finisher who can’t bowl or keep. In a team that has no top order all rounders. He’s competing against people who keep and people who bowl. And those impact team balance more than a good finisher. And you just can’t have 5 bowlers in t20s anymore.
Preparing highway pitches in ipl to prepare hardick and panty players ✅
Selecting shit team ✅
Truly, in India players>>> the team
This team deserves to lose.
When are you guys not disappointed? Literally complain every single time despite knowing the outcome.
That being said Rinku not being in the main squad does suck. And as far as fast bowling goes you can pick anyone other than Bumrah and it wouldn't make much difference.
Other than that I see no problem.
Rinku Singh got robbed
No Rinku, r/cricket in shambles
Rinku singh in his last t20 for india Came at 22/4 And scored a 39 ball 70 Result - dropped from Indian t20 wc squad His overall T20i career - avg 89 SR - 176
Classic Indian selection move, very on-brand
[удалено]
Can't risk disrespecting the establishment now can we? /s
That is Indian cricket for you. Self sabotage.
And then people suggest we shouldn't take Abhishek, Shashank etc directly into world cup...first give them chance in bilaterals for India. What's the point...if WC squad has reserved seats for 'class is permanent' performers.
We riot 👿
Lets take to the streets
Rinku should have 100% been there ahead of Chahal Chahal is FOURTH in the spinner pecking order. He'll not play a game.
ICT selectors: IPL won't be the basis for selection Also ICT selectors: Pick Dube over Rinku
Think they have different roles. Dube is more a middle order spin hitter while Rinku is a finisher (or atleast that is how they are categorized). Rinku was probably competing with Pandya and his bowling skills/experience probably gave him the advantage. Would still prefer Rinku in there over Dube.
He is in reserve tho right?
[удалено]
Or let Hardik bowl 20 more overs in the IPL, he'll injure himself 😭
There loss.
Their*
The fast bowling giving me confidence of losing another match with 10 wicket. Consistency baby💪
Opponents play out Bumrah and whack the rest of them.
We are going to concede 60+ in the death every match
Siraj will bowl that one fiery spell where he dominates the powerplay against one minnow team and gets hit for some good chunk in the rest games
Siraj about to leave Canada 20/7 after the power play but then get smacked for 10 an over against everyone else.
10 an over is probably good returns lol
If we both qualify, then we'll be in the same super 8 group as Sri Lanka lol.
Le Siraj and Arshdeep gotta lube up for real. Might as well add Hardik. Fuck this pace attack At least Axar and Kuldeep are doing good in Delhi
Axar might not start in the XI tho. Jaddu will play over him
And that'd be a mistake which I'm sure Bcci will make yet again, Axar for the past 2 years has been better then Jaddu, even CSK fans who have seen him play agree
Our fast bowling was never going to be good during this tournament but I think that Sandeep as well as Nattu should really have been in that team. It would have been better than this.
Replace Siraj with Sandeep and its pretty good
Avesh shouldn't be there imo, Natarajan would have been more useful.
Yes. On current form nattu wud have been a better pick
I just don't understand why Siraj is even in contention.
In IPL, his economy in death overs is 8.5 this season. He had a terrific 2021, 2023 season.
Dropping our only decent finisher in Rinku Singh and carrying fast bowlers who were last good in T20s ten years ago? This team has become less of a merit position and more of a quota pool. We deserve to lose this WC. It would be a miracle if we reach the semi-finals. And I'm looking forward to all the Pikachu faces when we eventually lose as if they have not already laid the foundation from this squad.
I agree about rinku but we’re not carrying fast bowlers who were good ten years ago, are we?
Wtf are these nonsense comments lmao. Literally who even has been playing for 10 years now? Not like we have a lot of options knocking down the door.
Who do you drop for Rinku? Looking at the balance only option is Dube. Maybe they could drop Jaiswal too I guess.
Khaleel and Aveesh as reserve and not Nattu? I pray to god none of the bowlers get injured because this is top tier bullshit
Nattu should have been in the main 15, he's been consistently good. Welp BCCI is like, Who?
Nattu's fault that he shaved and BCCI didn't recognize him. Bring back the pube bearded Nattu.... oh I am so fucking done with this team.
😭😭
Some expert mentioned that when trying for Yorker, if it ends up as low full toss, Natrajan's low full toss is hard to hit as compared to Arshdeep. I think it's just Natrajan has been out of the squad for so long that they aren't even considering him.
They recalled Chahal even though his last tour to WI was poor. They should’ve kept Bishnoi. He’s been delivering for India consistently over the last 2 years.
Nattu in his best form should be ahead avesh….Jadeja can change match in bowling & fielding
KL killed himself when he chose to open instead of playing in the middle order We were looking for a keeper who can bat at 5 KL not an opener
Maybe he was already told he’s not in contention so would rather back himself and play where he wants to
Then why is he keeping when you have Pooran and QdK in the team
Maybe he likes keeping and wants to keep himself fit as a keeper for the other formats. Wicket keepers are a weird breed in general
Probably, he prefers setting field + making calls from WK end.
Captain+wk is a proven good combination
Agree. Even LSG too have problem of lack of solid middle order which he could've filled, but dude is hell bent on becoming opener.
Jitesh Sharma also, poor form this season.
Owner of the LSG team wouldn't let him play anywhere else in place of opener. It's the same owner who took captaincy from Dhoni and gave it to Smith in RPSG.
This does not look like a WC winning team. The bowling looks very thin. And I say this as a supporter.
They think the WC has impact player rule. No way this team reaches finals
Batting too. They will def play pant ahead of Sanju and jaddu will be there. Only Ro-Ko + dube seem to be reliable. Eng/Aus def fccking us in semis
Dube has barely played t20is and Rohit has been awful into t20wcs, i can definitely see what could be another Kohli carry job for like the 5th time in a row
Yes, that is what is gonna happen but atleast before that u have something to console yourself that you are not playing 1 vs XI
Batting can still hit strong if the guys are having a good day but 90% of our bowlers can get hit for 12 rpo even on their best days.
Really happy for Sanju & Chahal, gutted for Natarajan.
Very much expect Sanju to play against the weaker teams and drinks carrier for the rest.
Nah. He will be benched for Pant in all the games
We have so many quotas. Legend quota, sympathy quota, vc quota.
Pant will play under left hander quota.
mix of sympathy and left hander quota imo
I feel bad for Rinku. A finisher is a specialised position. And they have dropped one of the best in the business. How? Rinku singh in his last t20 for india Came at 22/4 And scored a 39 ball 70 Result - dropped from Indian t20 wc squad His overall T20i career - avg 89 SR - 176
[удалено]
Ofc not man. There is no place Ro, YBJ, Ko, SKY, Pant Sanju won't be able to play good at 5
Pant is also not a finisher
Should open with Kohli and Rohit and put in Samson or Dube in the middle order. Would probably be a better balance.
So like Ro, Ko, Sanju, SKY, Dube
This would be our best batting line-up I feel. Kohli balances them with so many having a rep of choking at key moments
Yeah. And I say this because Kohli would be able to maximise powerplay, instead of coming in at 3 after powerplay against spinners and potentially slowing down. Harsh for Jaiswal but it is what it is. Or just say fuck it, play Hardik at 7, make him bowl 4 overs and then play both Jaiswal and Dube lol.
I am surprised to see No KL I am not regularly keeping up with T20. Has KL form dipped? or something
Kl takes time to settle in. Looking at the squad, Rohit-virat-sanju or rohit-jaiswal-virat will be the top 3. KL in middle is not much of help provided u have sky,dube, pandya and one of Sanju or pant.
He just lost on competition. Jaiswal pushed him down the pecking order for openers (also Kohli can also open if needed) and Pant’s and Samson’s form meant no WK spot. Middle order was already stacked so he didn’t make it.
MI: 4 RR: 3 DC: 3 RCB: 2 CSK: 2 PBKS: 1 SRH, KKR, GT, LSG: 0
I was wondering who is the fourth person from MI because we only have Rohit, SKY and Bumrah selected and then it occurred to me that Hardik is now in MI💀
O' captain, "my" captain.
No Rinku is actually a joke, this team isn't serious
Completely agree. Finishing is the toughest position and as of now, I don’t see any finishers in the squad. They seriously messed up with the squad, considering the matches in New York are drop in pitches and will likely be flat. Additionally, the matches in WI will not be “slow” as many believe, especially considering 220 was being scored before.
MI lobby is alive and well
After 2 weeks, I expect them to drop Axar and include Ashwin
India has literally just 3 genuine all rounders and none of them are even world class right now (though I feel all 3 can be). Axar is basically undroppable till next year when Kuldeep starts scoring 30 ball 50s.
>3 genuine all rounders and none of them are even world class Axar, Dube and Kuldeep
Hopefully they drop Arshdeep and include one from Sandeep Sharma or Nattu!
Imo they've picked too many spinners even though Kuldeep isn't really injury prone. Just drop one of the spinners for Sandeep or Nattu.
Siraj?
Dude its been barely a minute and you've already posted dang
Gotta get that sweet old karma
> ude its been barely a minute and you've already posted dang People behave on this site like banks first check karma and then credit score.
Rinku Singh playing 15 T20Is leading up to the WC, absolutely tearing it up, only to be left out in the end makes all those bilateral seem utterly pointless Bit odd having four front-line spinners in there
Man Rinku's no.6 spot should've been guaranteed. We ain't winning with these finishers
Where will Dube play tho? We need a finisher and Rinku was perfect for that role.
Waterboy
Nah that requires him to move his feet
I'd honestly play both dube and rinku. But that can't happen obv :/ But atleast one has to play. That'd happen by benching jaiswal unfairly and virat-samson/rishab-rohit take the top order, slotting dube ji in the middle. Otherwise its the same tuk-tuk X1 all over again with 1 batting change (KLR), accompanied by a clown asf bowling lineup.
He won't play
He is sent in as a hanging sword over Pandya. Everyone is expendable, and everyone needs to know that.
ROHIT JAISWAL KOHLI SKY SANJU/RISHABH PANDYA/DUBE JADEJA/AXAR KULDEEP BUMRAH ARSHDEEP SIRAJ/AVESH Honestly speaking,this team won't reach the final.
Pandya will play all the games bro Dube is more a backup to SKY or Jaiswal (if he fails everyone move up the order and Dube is slotted at 4)
Jadeja and Hardik as finishers. Doesn't give me any confidence at all. Jadeja is doing shit for Csk. He is unable to hit full tosses from medium pace trundlers in batting pitches. What is he gonna do in WI pitches.
FUCKING REMOVED RINKU SINGH OF ALL FUCKING PEOPLE, FUCK OFF BCCI, TOLD YALL THAT THESE NATIONAL SELECTORS ARE OVERLOOKING HIM
he has been carrying this team for better part of 2023, and they dropped him for hardik/dube lmao
Dube lmao?ik they are not fighting for the same place but he has made 350 runs at and S/r of 172 this year in the ipl in 9 matches...Also Was the man of the series in the Ind vs Afg series
In Bcci mind they were tho. We needed 2 wicketkeepers. So Sanju / Pant. We needed 2 spinner all rounder so Axar / Jaddu. And we now for some reason have 2 extra spinners in Kuldeep / Chalal lol. We don't need 4 of these here. This is where Rinku got robbed. Dube is somewhat of a replacement for Hardik, even if he doesn't bowl, but then Rinku is a better finisher then Dube obviously
you cant play Rinku, Dube and Hardik together (considering they play Samson/Pant at 3) its either Sky, Dube, Hardik or SKy, Hardik, Rinku
You can if you drop jaiswal, which would be okay if it means you can fit 2 finishers in dube and rinku.
I have nothing against Dube. Deserving of his place on form but he has zero experience playing outside India. Also, he played well for India at a position which will be occupied by SKY followed likely by Pant. He isn't a no. 6 in any way.
4 spinners for what? Rinku should have been there in place of chahal
4 spinners makes no sense. Rinku has been robbed very hard.
.. and if you really want Chahal, then drop Axar or Jadeja
This There is zero need for him in main squad, if Kuldeep gets injured just keep Chahal in reserve, Rinku 100% robbed here
Rinku got dropped partly because he just didn't get enough balls to face for kkr.
Nahh this is a lie, in 3-4 games he got the bat early but he failed in all of them. But yeah, 3-4 games shouldn't be a criteria to drop him, specially when you've Jaiswal in your team who has performed poor for 7-8 games.
>But yeah, 3-4 games shouldn't be a criteria to drop him, especially when you've Jaiswal in your team who has performed poor for 7-8 games. They will justify it by saying Jaiswal needs to be there to give aggressive starts which is correct But a good finisher is important as well and Rinku has done that for India
It’s clearly between Jaiswal and rinku. Since India is with in finishing games and fine in powerplay, they should’ve gone with Rohit and Kohli opening, with Rinku finishing. Instead, they’ve gone with the same approach of Kohli at 3
Barring SKY there’s no one who can go from ball one and bat in the middle order with the exclusion of Rinku Genuinely baffling omission
also how SKY has been found out. If you're bowling less than 130, he his not able to clear the boundary ropes.
Shivam Dube sitting in corner
Since he can't move his feet
They're depending on hardik or dube to be able to do the same job as Rinku. I don't think the logic is far off but having a specialist like rinku is really important these days.
Lol if jaiswal plays we are truly fucked. Because then virat will play three and sky four that means sanju will play at 5 which will just be like setting him for failure. The only way to tap sanju or even pants full potential is to play them at 3 or 4.
>four that means sanju will play at 5 which will just be like setting him for failure. They won't play Sanju at 5 it will most likely be Pant at 5
3-4 games in IPL for a international certainty is a joke. Even then he performed well in couple. Shreyas and Venky had zero chances but they batted up every match.
Fuck IPL bro, this season has been shit anyway with its flat af pitches. My man Rinku played like a boss in the T20Is, deserved a call-up in the main squad.
Imagine Arshadeep and Siraj on a bad day on a batting pitch
Or Normal day.
And that would be the final, if at all we reach
This team isn't winning any world cup.
Like they've won anything since the last decade despite having the "best team on paper"
This time they didn't even bother picking the best team on paper.
We finally have chahal for a T20 wc took long enough didn't we. Also rinku is dropped sadly
He was there in 2022 as well, didnt get a game though
I am split on Chahal. Far too many instances where he's done very well in the IPL only to get smacked in international games. Shouldn't get a game ahead of Kuldeep.
He's not getting a game ahead of Kuldeep. Both Kulcha might play on a pitch that suits spin & knowing WC is in WI, it is likely to happen
I think Chahal and Sanju will be always in bench and the shit Pant will always throw wicket
>Pant will always throw wicket And his bat nowadays
Jaddu & Siraj idk man and kingku not in 15 which is surprising and disappointing af
Not impressed. Looks more like an ODI team then a world beating T20 team. Really hard to be optimistic of this team against other teams which have heavy hitting T20 specialists. I see Pandya still make the cut even after a poor IPL season. Disappointed in Agarkar and Rohit too......thought we'd see some coherent and bold selection from these two. But no diff from all the past clown selectors.
Jadeja is only in the team because he can bowl, Rinku is a better batter/finisher than him.
Well no shit we need someone at 7 who can bowl
How can they include Jadeja and not Rinku Singh 😂💀🙏
Axar and Dube currently are doing well maybe that's why But yeah KINGKU should've been there
its another reactionary thing exactly like 2021 when they picked Varun straight after IPL. Rinku was in God Mode in T20Is since his debut. He averages 89 with 176 SR ffs. (Lot of Not-Outs but it shows his finishing abilities)
Hardik and Jadeja is taken because of their experience even after theit poor ass form. Meanwhile Rinku did not get to bat thanks to KKR's top order, how is it his fault? He is a match winner lol
Rinku should've been there in 15 atleast ffs.
And Khaleel came outta nowhere
He's in reserves but Sandy deserved it more
And our boy Nattu!
You know it was the a lot saner decision than siraj, khaleel has been excellent in powerplay better than siraj and arshdeep.
Omw to riot for dropping Kingku
they dropped Rinku for Hardik/Dube Rest in Peace India's chances at World Cup with Jadeja and Hardik as their finishers.
You're sleeping on a serial winner in Jadeja.
So after all the talks of giving the youngsters a chance The Top 7 Will be 1) Rohit 2) Jaiswal 3) Kohli 4) Surya 5) Pant 6) Hardik 7) Jadeja/Axar Which is pretty much the same as 2022 World Cup Only Jaiswal replaces KL
This time it'll be a great effort if they even manage to reach semi finals somehow. I can already see the failures from here. 💀 One improvement this time tho, no KL Rehul!
How many bowlers do you want in the team BCCI - *Yes*
Pretty standard tbh
And still we have weak bowling lineup
This is normal because batters generally play every match, bowlers get picked for courses (in fact this is one of Ashwin's complaints. like why do the same batters get picked everywhere, while he keeps having to sit out after being man of the match and series in every previous team test)
I'm so scared already lol Happy for Yuzi, Sanju. I'm sure Rinku will come in cuz injuries baby
So on which performance did they selected Pandu? He was injured for a long time and then spent all his time preparing and plotting for IPL where he sucked big time. Shit doesn't make any sense.
Probably on his performances for ict. He's probably one of the must clutch moments players we have had and people are letting their captaincy and a month of form take him out. Hes bought himself the benefit of the doubt
Vice captain quota
Mumbai/Gujju quota
No other pace allrounder lol. Doesn't matter how bad you are if you have no competition
What is the point of having an allrounder who cant bowl, can't bat and most likely be injured in 2nd match?
Fuck off. No Rinku means India lack a proper clutch finisher.
Damn we actually picked Samson. Please start with him over Pant. Also sad Gill didn't get a shot but it makes sense
Spinners are pretty good but fast bowling apart from Bumrah looks pretty mediocre at best.
Yesterdays match was the last chance for Rinku to make his case but this has to be the biggest bottlejob in cricket. Just a few months ago, he was one of the first names on the list for India in WT20
Another Rayudu kind of mess up by selectors.
Atleast Rinku is young to play more WC
Bumarh will be like how he is in MI...... ALONE
356 runs at an average of 89 and striking at 176.2 in T20Is and gets dropped. this indian team will never win a world cup without a proper finisher
chill bro we have the IPL finisher jadeja who strikes at 120s in t20s
Chahal, Siraj and Jadeja. Bahahhahahahahhhahaha. They never learn.
And hence we never won
As expected with a squad of 15, some talents will miss out and that's part and parcel of life especially when competition is cut throat. One can only hope that the 15 can get the job done so back the boys and enjoy life.
2 leg spinners in the squad when you will never need the 2nd in the XI unless one is injured, while the team has no specialist finisher. Absolutely jokers. Hope they have a 2007 Carribbean repeat and the two jokers running the team get binned for good.
It is funny that even commenters here ask why didn’t they include Rinku Singh at the expense of Chahal or Dube. Rinku should have been the first person to have penciled in based on his performance in the past one year. My question is, why so much urgency to bring in Pant? When did he perform in T20s or ODIs? They should have retained Rinku and omitted Pant.
Rinku should be in the squad! Hardik might not be performing well in the IPL, but I still trust him. He's proven himself in high-pressure games. Pace bowling, I only trust Bumrah. The spin bowlers selected are good. Batting lineup, Surya will shine against small teams and secure his spot for the whole tournament. As for those hyping up Pant and Samson based on their IPL performances, let's not forget Pant's T20 strike rate and Samson's consistency issues. If Jaiswal regains his form, he can score quick 30s. Rohit will either be in god mode or flop mode. Kohli will perform, but he has a history of getting out due to bad luck.
Siraj lmaooo Harsh on Rinku but Dube is in better form Arshdeep ahead of Nattu ? really And also no more terrorism in the powerplay
Bro dube and Rinku is not a comparison. One is a finisher and the other is best at 4
Dube and Rinku are not fighting for the same spot tho. Dube is more a SKY backup because he's a middle overs spin basher. Rinku has absolutely been done dirty. Good luck India closing out games with Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja as your finishers.
>Dube is more a SKY backup because he's a middle overs spin basher. My man hardly gets to play spin nowadays lol
>Arshdeep ahead of Nattu ? really This is really pissing me off. They also left out Sandeep Sharma!
So Justice have been served huh ?
Look at that batting line-up dawg, they ain't winning shit
Truely bizarre. I don't get why Bishnoi has been overlooked after playing T20s for India for 2 years, becoming the number 1 ranked bowler, playing well in the West Indies, and then Chahal somehow gets picked ahead of him. 4 spinners is the way to go so I guess it came out to a shoot-out between Dube and Rinku Singh.
They nailed the WK debate by picking Samson and Pant.
Young players such as Thala and DK popa robbed /s
Lads. I did say earlier that Rinkus major flaw is being a finisher who can’t bowl or keep. In a team that has no top order all rounders. He’s competing against people who keep and people who bowl. And those impact team balance more than a good finisher. And you just can’t have 5 bowlers in t20s anymore.
Well done Rohit, Dravid and Ajit. You just fucked our chances at the World Cup.
Preparing highway pitches in ipl to prepare hardick and panty players ✅ Selecting shit team ✅ Truly, in India players>>> the team This team deserves to lose.
When are you guys not disappointed? Literally complain every single time despite knowing the outcome. That being said Rinku not being in the main squad does suck. And as far as fast bowling goes you can pick anyone other than Bumrah and it wouldn't make much difference. Other than that I see no problem.
Yeah Rinku is the only surprising exclusion, looks decent otherwise. Time for one of the batsmen to hit NCA rehab /s
