Indian Team Squad World Cup 2019~EDITED OUT~
I didn't like KL Rahul selection due to his last year form but Selectors and Team management still think he can contribute to the Indian team. I wish the same for him because now he's in Indian Team and we must support him despite our bias but I will repeat last time anyway that he played shitty cricket by all means in last year
There's no other good option than KL Rahul for the opening in case one of Shikhar and Rohit get injured or whatever. Rayudu could make it but whom do you think he could replace? I think this squad is the best for India.
Not really actually, he's actually really bad performer if not the worst. he only got selected because of Virat and Shastri. and Backup opener is mouthpiece tbh. no surprise there if he bats on No 3 as well and Virat moving to number 4 spot.
And don't forget the World cup is in England, not Indian subcontinent. we should not forget what happened in the England tour.
His batting stats, have a glance and judge by yourself, did he really deserved his spot? I would be happier if he perform well in the World cup and wins the game for India because he's representing the Indian team in the World cup and like other Indian supporters I want the Indian team to win.
Surprising that Dinesh Karthik was picked ahead of Rishabh Pant. Both are performing well right now, but I would have rather gone with the 21-year old Pant than the 33-year old Karthik. But it is tough, when you don't have powerful people supporting you.
With due respect to your opinion but you are kinda wrong here.
Rishab got a lot more sugar daddy than Dinesh Kartik. if you don't believe me then please Check Dinesh Kartik All career, he's the unluckiest cricketer in this squad, whenever team management wanted to cut someone, Dinesh Kartik arguably was the first choice because of his age, especially in recent time, despite his good performance.
Rishab only mistake was that he threw away the opportunity by playing many shitty shots during the crunch moments. He's a very talented and destructive batsman and I am a supporter and fan of Rishab Pant since his under 19 world cup days. but here he did silly mistakes and showed that he's not ready for World cup.
Nice to see Vijay Shankar in the list. I had a feeling that he will get chance and that's why I listed him too.
Vijay Shankar showed good content so far along with Jadeja, that's why they are in Squad. I would say they surely deserve their spot in this squad and Playing XI can be tricky tho...
because if Jadeja is in playing XI then Chahal is out. 3 regular seamer can't play in the same match too otherwise Indian tailender can start from no 7 which is very suicidal if top order fails, we have seen this scenario many times.
