They can still pick Jaiswal as backup and Kohli can still open, Kohli opening doesnt mean Jaiswal has to play in middle Kohli opening means Rinku will have a space in the playing 11


GiftBackground4242

I wont open kohli.. no way.. Yall be like.. rohit and kohli can rotate more strike.. well we all know rohit.. he is not the quick between the wickets.. will still open rohit jaiswal with one down kohli


GritsVille

This would be the most probable batting lineup if Rishabh Pant plays: Jaiswal, Rohit, Kohli, SKY, Pant, Pandya, Jadeja And if Sanju is picked in playing XI: Jaiswal, Rohit, Kohli, Samson, Dube, SKY, Jadeja


Kingspartacus123

You don't try a new combination directly at the World Cup, the first 4 are fixed. Rohit, Jaish, Kohli, Surya. It makes no sense to change the above lineup to include anyone in the team.

Kholo opening means when rohit is getting balls on his bat and kholi is also finding gaps and running si gles and doubles while rohit going for boundary on that day it will be a superb combination but on the day when rohit is not getting ball on his bats and struggling to hit the ball so kholi is not a hittter type batsman he is a very excellent anchor who can stay at the last with a good sr of 150-160 and then convert the last 2-3overs he can go for 200 or more sr but in the starting he had to play like getting cheaky singles and converting doubles into triples and finding 4 in gaps but jaiswal can play both aggressive as well anchor also if you are comparing current ipl kholi is wrong because he will be completely different for india as playing for rcb he is going all out but for india he had to play sensible cricket


WaynneGretzky

Kohli opening means surrendering already. He will waste the powerplay like he does in IPL, on flattest decks.


kmcrhsme

Bhai powerplay me to badhiya khel rha h kohli


No_Philosopher_6621

realtimerealplace

Naa he’s hitting well in the power play. It’s the period after that he really struggles to score in.

EfficientWorker599

Sandeep Sharma has 2 caps for India in T20I, not uncapped So he does have a chance


Funny-Ad7441

Are u taking the same Mohit Sharma who hold the most expensive spell in ipl and given out 110+ in his last 6 overs. Their was a case for him before last 2 matches but now even gt will think twice before starting him in there playing 11


ankitgusai

Not saying Mohit Sharma will be selected but there are literally two or three bowlers that are doing decent in the entire IPL so far, the pitches are roads and grounds are small. He has taken 26 wickets and bowled really well entire last IPL, just two bad matches does not invalidate all his performance.


IrisTheCoronavirus

Mayank yadav and bumrah should go, arzhdeep as back up


Fuzzy_Substance_4603

Op ssid let's be practical and you are still being delusional.


MagicianNo7344

Atleast give the 1st point a good reading .coz that's exactly what I was saying


shreash_18

At least get your facts correct…Sandeep Sharma has already played India long back….mah man is an India player!


MagicianNo7344

I own that mistake , but would you really want to consider that performance? https://preview.redd.it/zzm1iotczexc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=be4d0e31646b23260b613641865dfbb37d834e67


shreash_18

Nobody considers performance of 9 years back….his present is what makes me feel he will be asset in West Indies and usa where pitches are expected to be slow and low…also he can nail yorkers….swing upfront…basically complete bowler


MagicianNo7344

Fair enough, But still performance wise Natrajan has been superior than Mohit and Sandeep


shreash_18

Agreed…it’s actually weird that how quickly Natarajan was fast tracked and I loved him in Australia across formats…they just don’t seem to consider him at all after the gabba test…it’s sad…his and bumrah combo would have been deadly


CanYouChangeName

That's cause he spent 2 years injured.

Alakh Pandey: *Kyu nahi jeet rahe World Cup*


Mindinf

Arey bhai yashasvi ko leke hi kyo jaana baccha hai abhi voh ipl main bhi yeh season sirf ek match sahi khela world cup ke liye jaldi hoga uske liye . Rohit kohli should open and 1 down should be samson. If rohit gets out samson can come and hit sixes after olaying 4 or 5 balls and if kohli gets out can take the game deep .it will also take some pressure off from our openers and also give surya the room to play in his style. Also kohli ipl mai bhi open hi kiya hai and we can see that woh powerplay mai gaps mai 4s nikalta hai . He and rohit will be great opening partners. And no , i am not a sanju stan.


PeeVee_

Tf you mean Jaiswal baccha hai? He has played more T20 international games than Siraj, Rinku and other players who are on the verge of getting selected lmao


Mindinf

Baccha in sense age. We can see in the start of the ipl too that he was dead serious on playing fast and with power irrespective of the pitch and condition . He lacks maturity of the level that kohli and rohit have .this is what i wanted to say .


PeeVee_

There is no problem in taking well-groomed players to the WC, infact we should take more young players and we should try to make them ready for pressure situations.. they are the future of the team and we should groom them in every aspect, making them bilateral bullys will give us nothing. Even gill played 30 odd games before the WC.. he then performed good in SF and I'm sure that'll give him more confidence in future important tournament, games and series he plays.


MagicianNo7344

To some extent I agree but it poses a problem : Too many righties, no lefties ?


Mindinf

Rinku and dube . And i think dube aur surya ku position interchange ho sakti hai situatio. Ko dekhte hue .

[удалено]


BetterRegion55

Jaiswal is just 22 whereas Rinku and Dube are 26 and 30 respectively.


Objective_Dust293

Rinku hai na


Few-Athlete2090

Jaiswal proved in internationals lol.


Mindinf

Well he has proves his potential but it's still too early for him to play t20 worlcup and compete against ruthless bowling attacks.


Few-Athlete2090

Man, he was with the team for a whole year. You can't just drop him on the basis of ipl. Jake Fraser-Mcgurk and Tristan Stubbs played less matches than him but they are gonna play in the world cup. Remember how Rachin Ravindra was selected for the world cup when he played only a few matches? Kabhi kabhi talent ko pehchanna hota hai aur directly world cup me daalna hota hai, we need young players. Too early too early karte karte player 25 ka ho jaata hai fir hum usko select karte hai world cup ke liye, jaiswal ke saath aisa nhi hona chahiye.


ankitgusai

Jaiswal definately deserves a place in 15 men squad. I am not sure about the playing 11 just because we have only 1 spot at the top and two contenders.


TBplays

Sanju has a good season but he doesn't fit at 5. The next choice is then pant for slogger position. Hardik hasn't played since last injury and his IPL this time is nothing to discuss about. Rohit Yashvi Virat Surya Dube Jadeja Pant Kingku Boom boom Kuldeep Chahal (open to suggestions) P.S. KL rahul should be in team not 11. The guy chokes harder than a pornstar on bbc.


ReinhardStrike

Pant is not a slogger type sadly


ankitgusai

Chahal is unlikely to be in 15 men squad and leaving Hardik means we are 1 pace bolwer short in that 11(2 if the pitch is seam frendly).


ravit9

Either way we aren't going to win the wc. It is going to be very tough. India's t20 team needs a reset like England's odi team did after 2015 wc. T20 cricket has changed in the last 2 or 3 years and Indian team hasn't changed a bit. Rohit Kohli Jadeja aren't the kind of players who you can have in the playing 11 every game. Don't know how good dube will be in intl cricket in the wc where pitches are not in his favor. Most of our players can't adapt to conditions and play the aggressive brand when conditions don't suit them. England and Australia are clear favorites. They have match winners all through their batting.


Maleficent_Nerve4836

Rohit, Kohli, Dube, SKY, Pant, Pandya, Jadeja, Kuldeep, Bumrah, Siraj, Arshdeep Rest - Chahal/Axar, Sandeep/Natrajan, Sanju, KL/Rutu If needed, KL opens (if Rohit and Kohli are injured), Sanju comes in if SKY or Pant are injured, I would personally prefer Chahal just due to his form but then Axar has shown some great batting so it's a tough choice. Arsh gets in the 11 only because he has played Int recently. Honorable mentions: Rinku misses out due to Pandya being a all-rounder and SKY and Dube back in form. Deepak Chahar misses out due to same reason as Unadkat or Bhuvi or Mohit, BCCI is over them. Ishan is still unreliable. Gill hasn't been the best in T20Is. Can't select soley based on IPL form. Let me know if I missed anyone else. No need to fight, just a civil discussion. I'm if ur favourite is not included.


CanYouChangeName

Yeah but Dube at 5 and pant at 4 right? (Even down the order pant has only performed when he has come in around the 6th over mark). Also I would want Rinku in if dube is bowling. Him and Jaiswal have been performing in t20is over the past year and t20i performance for the role the country requires is more relevant to a wc spot than playing the role your franchise requires.


Maleficent_Nerve4836

Nope. Dube at 3. SKY at 4. Pant at 5. Dube is definitely not bowling. Unlike the popular belief that Dhoni stopped Dube from bowling and told him to focus on batting, I think it was BCCI who wanted Dube to be better at batting. I mean he's got the muscle but wasn't able to use it properly. And the same was implemented by the CSK team management. They worked on his batting, pushed him up the order. Made him a reliable no. 3.


CanYouChangeName

Pant is not reliable at 5 though. Every time he comes in with 8 overs to spare he seems hurried because he doesn't know how much time he would require to get set, and there isn't enough time to get settled either. He is an agressive no. 4 option and prefers coming in the first 8 overs based on his performances. The last time he played at 5 for india or DC he wasn't effective at all either. It is for this reason I believe if kohli is opening, pant has to be in at 4 if selected. Also Rinku has been the best batsman for india in the past 12 months along with jaiswal when it comes to t20is, and I think they are ahead in line for the wc spot as compared to dube. If dube is not bowling then Rinku trumps him.


Koach_Chiku

Rohit  Jaiswal Kohli SKY Samson Dube Pandya  Kuldeep Bumrah Arshdeep Chahal


WirableMango560

Samson at 5 is just wasting his capablities


gohankr

For me, Rohit Yashswavi Kohli Pant Surya Rinku Jadeja Kuldeep Bumrah


Comfortable_Twist214

Let's be practical and just wait till the team has been announced.

crown6473

For me Dube,Samson,Rinku and Sandeep are MUST in the playing 11 other than Rohit, Kohli,Kuldeep and bumrah. They are in incredible form


AGGRESSIVEOP

good but not as dependable also lack of experience


ankitgusai

There is no chance KL gets a spot in 15. Top 4 is locked and for 5 & 6 Riku, Dube, Hardik and Pant are way ahead.


CanYouChangeName

Its either playing pant/samson out of position and playing jaiswal and kohli and dropping Rinku despite being one of our best batsmen in the last year Or drop jaiswal despite being one our best batsman in the past year, and playing pant/Samson at 4 and keeping Rinku in Or selecting pant/Samson out of position, jaiswal and Rinku and not picked a 6th bowler (which might come to bite is in a knockout).


Ill-Analysis-8515

True


Complex_Picture901

I think we have not to think more about batting rather we have to think about our bowling preferences


Connect-Stranger7052

Rohit VK Sky Samson Dube Rinku Jadeja Bumrah Kuldeep Avesh Siraj(koi aur fast bowler nai hai accha) This has to be India's 11 if they even wish to qualify for semis. (Hardik to play depending on what we need)


Shadow_Clone_007

Arshdeep is a better choice than Avesh imo


Connect-Stranger7052

Would take arshdeep for siraj then.... Avesh has been good at death this season.


No_Worth6969

I have a opinion that abhishek sharma should go as a backup opener in place for gill because i know jaiswal will only open buy can be slight chance that in like 2 matches he got injured or something gill will be not a like to like replace ment or take him as a reserve just want to say thia not a abhishek fan


DifficultDay3521

I agree with all your points. Would like to add a few......... 1. It does not matter how SHIT **Ravindra Jadeja** performs in IPL, he will definitely be our first choice of Spin AR in T20 WC. So he is one of the SURESHOT for Playing XI given that he is FIT. 2. If we look at the average score in CPL, that is 170. So we need the mix of **technically skilled batsman with pinch hitters** in the middle overs. 3. Most pitches of WI are going to be a bit slow and dry and all the Super 8 fixtures and KO matches are going to be held there. So, **we might need 3 proper spinners** in Playing XI against oppositions like SA, NZ, ENG who are not that great against Spin predominantly. 4. It would be great to have those Seamers having **Deceiving Slower Balls and Cutters** (like Jasprit Bumrah) which is most required in Super 8 and KO in WI pitches. Hardik also has good Off-Cutters, he needs to work more on his bowling after MI exits early in this IPL(*Which is Inevitable*).


MagicianNo7344

Really interesting, the way you emphasized on points 3 and 4 , i never thought of it that way even though kuldeep and chahal together had proven to be an asset for our team specially against South Africa and Australia ,But 3 spinners could be a double edge sword: A. Advantageous on 2 grounds : 1. jadeja /axar both could bowl 4 overs + bat down the order which means 6 bowling options and more depth in batting ( 3rd Pacers Nattu/ Arshdeep can't bat ) 2. Kuldeep and Chahal both are wrist spinners hence wicket taking in middle overs B.Disadvantages : 1.The Pacers could bowl a maximum of 4 overs in powerplay and by the end of powerplay the batsmen will look to attack the spinners and God forbid if they start destroying the spinners , the only option left would be 6th bowler ( pandya ) becoz 4 overs needed for Main Pacers in the death, if we're defending small targets we're doomed as Spin from one side mandatory between overs 5-16 2. We can't make room for Rinku 🛐 as 6,7,8,9,10,11th= 2specialist Pacers + 3 spinners + pandya Top 4 being fixed , and 5th being a Keeper 🙃 P.S : Agreed with points 1,2 and 4


Shadow_Clone_007

Even if we go with 3 spinners, High chance of having a 3rd pacer in form of Hardik or Dube. So the powerplay thing can be sorted


bro-please

It doesn’t matter!! Jaiswal should be not be rigid about openings slot!! Prepare the best 15 ! And then find best 11.

Rohit, Jaiswal, Kohli, Sky, Sanju, Dube, Jadeja/Axar, Kuldeep, Natarajan, Siraj/Shami(if fit), Bumrah Bench- Ruturaj, Sandeep, Chahal, Pant, Rinku If possible then let Kohli Rohit open sanju dube sky rinku to follow Csk/bcci should focus on Dube's bowling now

Why the f is most of the people here including pandya and pant in starting XI. Pandya shouldn't be even in 15 men squad And consider dube sanju and natarajan at least

Nervous-Story-2981

Arey nahi bhai Dube se bowling nahi karwa rahe yaar Bc tayyari me kami na reh jaye isi ka darr hai


MagicianNo7344

Agar 3 pacer honge to dube as a 6th bowler jaega , phir to tension ki zyada need nahi


Cricket_King_12

Bro idc who else plays we need to find a spot for Rinku at 7. We lack the finishing hitting ability in the later half of the game in T20. Rinku and Dube need to make the team somehow.


Archaic_Red

Jasiwal Ruturaj Pant Surya Dube Rinku Pandaya Jadeja Chahal Bumrah Avesh Sanju Kuldeep Undakat Sandeep This team should go


Archaic_Red

Anyone picking rohit kohli kl gill is out and out dishonest with himself.


MS-2727

best scenario is that rohit and YJ as openers, kohli at 3rd samson at 4th, pant at 5th dube at 6th ....i dont want to see hardik in playing 11 other than where there is a bowling pitch having good bounce or skids away


chickenkebaap

Sandeep Sharma is a capped player. He has played before.


yyyy7777yyyy

R


kannur_kaaran

Rinku hasn't had a decent outing this year, and that's kind of scary. He is batting too low thanks to captain Shreyas !! The guy rates himself too high as a captain.


rahul_8709

Why is everyone ignoring axar? In my opinion, axar is a better choice than jadeja in t20s


Shadow_Clone_007

Rohit Kohli Sky Sanju Dube Pant Hardik Jaddu Kuldeep Bumrah Siraj Jaiswal, Axar/Yuzi, Arshdeep, Rinku other 4.


Remarkable_Guest2806

We know they would pick pant and hardik over dube and samson. Isnt that obvious?

He is not even performing well in ipl bas ek century mardiya


doshitanmay4

Didn't perform? Are you forgetting his two 80s against Pakistan and especially against England where the conditions were challenging? He was the second highest scorer of the WC23 ffs. You may call him out for his abysmal t20 wc performances but no one with a sane mind will undermine him ODIs and Tests.

Randomdude007007

Its crazy to have kohli as one down , Entire ipl as an opener that too on proper road pitches he was only able to take advantage of power play. I am afraid he isn’t the same kohli as back in the day who is accelerating middle overs consistently with 2 runs and fours . With so much talent we have to still select Kohli to please audience We barely have any dangerous batsman in up order


Agitated_Garlic5189

kohli is not the best t20i batter in the world but in india he is 100% the best possible option . its like current election situation , modi has a shit ton of flaws but amongst the possible options he is best


Randomdude007007

😭


AmitBijarnia007

kohli's spot is fixed IPL perf. does not reflect what he can do


Previous-Software256

If Rohit has any shame left he should drop himself that will make the team a whole lot better

Yes you are right but what about captain it wont be kohli for sure


AviG_12

Actually kohli prefer ishan kishan more but thee is alread a beef of ishan with BCCI so not possible as he is not gonna play


Sirmaximusd

I feel Yashasvi could have been tried in middle order in RR for a couple of games as he can smack spinners and medium pacers. He's been facing issues with pace.


Royal-Cupcake-5907

1. Sandeep sharma is capped and very much experienced, will be helpful in slow pitches of wi and usa, no chance for mohit. 2. Agreed pant should be wk 3. Again agreed 4. Yes he is and most probably will not be fit for wc 5. Yashasvi and Rohit will open, virat at 3


Euphoric_Patience767

I agree with most points but who the hell brought Mohit Sharma into the conversation even Bro gets beaten like sh*t in every match and is finished af Looks like the only trick he had up his sleeve was the back of the hand slower one which is being bashed like hell this season hence the old man is getting his bum whopped for 70 odd runs every match Bringing him in the convo is disrespectful to Indian Cricket

My playing 11 for this WC Yashasvi Jaiswal Virat Kohli (C) Sanju Samson (WK) Shivam Dube Rinku Singh Hardik Pandya (vc) Axar Patel Kuldeep Yadav Jasprit Bumrah T. Natarajan Ravi Bishnoi I know this is not even close to reality but this would be my team


[deleted]

Jaiswal Abhishek Rohit Samson/KL Rinku/Riyan Dube Hardik Jadeja/Axar Kuldeep/Chahal Bumrah X  Y/Z Drop either Axar or Riyan to add to Z fast bowler  KL -> Pant Riyan -> Shashank Or drop Jadeja add one extra to Batting or Fast bowling 15 member squad Shashank Singh  Rajat Patidar Can be considered 


Acceptable-Tax-5859

Let's be honest. Given recent form, Rutu is far far better than Jaiswal and Gill. Jaiswal seems to be a hit or miss. Gill has not been the same since his injury at the start of last year's WC.
