Rohit (C), Kohli, Jaiswal, Surya, Pant (WK), Samson (WK), Hardik (VC), Dube, Jadeja, Axar, Kuldeep, Chahal, Arshdeep, Bumrah and Siraj.
Reserves - Gill, Rinku, Khaleel and Avesh.
Harsh for KL Rahul. He deserves to be in the team. Same goes for Rinku Singh.
3 changes from my side.
Agree on all points except no bhuvi and umran
Bhuvi is a gem tho, he just had one bad season. Also, Umran is being wasted totally as he is not being given any chance to uplift his game.
Also, what happened to Shami? Injured?
4 spinners with 2 wrist spinners is going to be a mistake. Newyork, Florida pitches are drop in pitches from Australia which will offer a lot of carry and it’s still late spring in the U.S.. will be similar to Adelaide wickets I believe with ball moving in the first 6. Siraj is a very erratic hit or miss kind of bowler. His T20 record is pathetic.Arshdeep also hasn’t had a great last 9 months except one game in South Africa in November 2023 and let’s not even debate Rinku Singh. Agarkar & Co must be smoking something really goood to miss this. 89 Average with 176 SR. Bailed india thrice I remember. Gill on reserves another absurd call, I don’t know to how an extent they will go to protect his spot. Why not Ruturaj in the reserves, been having a great IPL an scored a t20i 100 against Australia in November. Public memory is so short lived I guess
Some people are selected on past international form and some people on current IPL form, clearly no one yardstick and absolute trash.
IMO
Rinku Singh ➡️
Natrajan ↔️ Arshdeep
Ruturaj ↔️ Gill
Chahal ↙️(out)
Don’t see india going beyond group stage, even if will get knocked out in SF. Need a revamp like 2007.
Wow, how do you know what these pitches would offer? They are drop shipping pitches from Australia
Though we should have revamp after every WC loss
No pitch expert or curation knowledge. Ball parking based on past drop in pitches + U.S. weather conditions.
Dallas, Lauderhill had drop in pitches for the UST20 League and saw how they performed. Had amazing carry vs the traditional west-indian pitches. Both have almost the same weather and altitude. They are much lower in altitude than NYC and don’t have any side wind effects. (Wankhede post October and some stadiums in NZ have a strong effect). So just a guesstimate honestly, would loved to be proved wrong😁 with india winning there
Great squad. Should have had Rinku Singh
Probably he will play if someone isnt 'available' 🫣
No player from India’s 15 member squad will be part of IPL Final 2024 .
The script was written that way so the Indian Players can take some rest before T20 WorldCup💀
All this planning was to make sure Head, Cummins and Starc reach the...
