Shreyas Iyer looks cooked to me now. Another failure for him in the ongoing Ranji final. Selectors won't even look at Iyer.

Everyone in Ranji is exploiting his weakness against bouncer, be it a 25 yo bowler or 36 yo Umesh Yadav.

I don't think that Ishan or Iyer would be able to make a comeback. Ishan due to the discipline issue with BCCI and Iyer due to his continuous poor form. Even the World Cup he was not batting well and with a lot of talent getting a chance play for India in the test series it would be hard for Iyer to secure a place.

Well, his form dipped in the test cricket and his replacements are available so it's alright but it would be unfair to doubt his ODI form, especially in the ODI WC.

The dude has scored more than 500 runs with an average of 65-ish, which includes 2 tons (1 in SF against Kiwis) and 3 50s.

There are lot of criticism about excluding Iyer from the BCCI contract and it's kind of unfair decision too cause some players who skipped many Ranji matches haven't been dropped but only him. He started World Cup pretty decent and for the record he is having the record for most runs scored in no.4 position so this decision solely made just because he skipped one Ranji match?

BCCI is pushing very hard as well, players are playing all day throughout the year so it's better to give players a month or two vacation period instead of just firing then all at once.

Indian players cannot play in other leagues but are one of the highest-paid in IPL. This and that shit-headed thought that BCCI is a shit and with IPL they would make more than what they can by representing India. Being a Mallu born and brought up in Mumbai this guy thought that he would be replaced as BCCI has a past wherein they always keep a soft heart of those being from Mumbai.

I knew Iyer would get rejected as the fucking owner of BCCI is a Gujarati. It has been evident for some time now that they as in the BCCI are focused on Mumbaiker players and are concentrating more on players from less privileged states or North and West India. You can do a check of players that have debuted recently in the series.

Jonny Bairstow got so much wasted due to the nasty sledging by Shubhman Gill and Sararaz Khan that he lost his wicket in the next ball. He was playing well before the sledging had started. 9 wickets taken by Ravichandran Ashwin in his 100th test is another big achievement by the talented spinner. India won by an inning and 64 runs shows how well the Indian team played in the 5th and the final test in the series. The biggest trigger point of the test match for me was the 100-run contribution by Rohit Sharma and Shubhman Gill.

What an amazing series it has been for the Indian team and Rohit Sharma! Rohit is getting viral for all the wrong language he has been using in this series. This might be the first time that he won a test series with almost a new team. None of the big guns played the test series and with Kohli, Rahul and a few famous names unavailable India still managed to win this series with almost a whitewash.

Ashwin's 100th Test match and his performance was truly Ashwin-esque, as he took 9 wickets. Kuldeep Yadav is not only performing well with the bat but also taking wickets like a professional spinner. The English side found a new spinner after Panesher which is this Pakistani lad Bashir. He was very good in the final test which shows he will now be part of the team for some more years now.

Devdutt Padikkal got his first international 50. I thought after tea both Khan and him will continue till the end. Unfortunately both got out and India has now lost 5 wickets. Jurel and Jadeja are playing now the lead is still within 200 runs. England spinner Bashir has been having a good series against India. This time again he has taken 3 wickets on a pitch that is good for batters.

Well the variation in the bounce help here and there so what they have to do is bowl consistently on certain areas which English spinners can't able to do throughout the series and give one or two freebies every over. Test cricket can be agressive too and today our batsmen showed the visitors about how to play and construct innings instead of just hitting the every balls.

Tomorrow the ball may break so will get tough to bat on, India already posted over 200 runs as lead and tail enders are contributing beyond their expectations.

Team India did exactly what they are capable of and it's done in a venue where more assistance for seamers and conditions similar to England and not just this venue but every venue was fair and gave equal opportunity for both the teams and one who actually performed crossed the line. India started with bang in their batting too and England might be approaching a huge lead and what I admired is how Kuldeep increased his fielding skills too in this series. Cheesy

England won the toss and choose to bat first. The openers gave a good start but as soon as they were out the middle order again crumbled. On a batting pitch England managed to get 218 runs that proves the middle order is out of form. Ashwin playing his 100th test got 4 wickets whereas Kuldeep broke the crucial opening partnership and went on to tak 5 wickets.

Indian batting was stable as both Indian openers got their half century. Whereas Jaisawal inexperience led him to lose his wicket. Hit man is still batting and Inwould lve to see him get a century this time.

As expected Patidar has been dropped from the final test. Padikkal gets to debut in International test cricket. This will be the first test series where we have noticed so many debutants. Debuting in international test games doesn't happen every day and those who debut are considered the best cricket players.

Out of the all who debuted I feel Bharat and Patidar wasted this incredible opportunity to cement their name in Indian cricket. I doubt they will be given another opportunity to represent India in international cricket in the future.

I don't understand why BCCI takes so much time in announcing the names of player who will be probably the playing eleven. Tomorrow is the match and still they haven't announced the team. Just before the game starts they will come up with a decision. England has announced that they will be retaining the old squad except Ollie Robinson as he is being replaced by Wood.

India go by the traditional way, there is no need to announce playing XI to be honest and if ENG does means they just want to exite audiences but India will pick the XI based on the pitch condition that we can only find before the match begins so captian and team management will assess the condition and pick right players like whether two seam attack or the pitch is hard enough for three pace attack, etc.

Jurel is actually a destructive batter but he controlled his natural action and try to adapt to the playing situation in all the innings he played so far. He is good for the future but still a long way to even consider for someone like Dhoni.

Bumrah will play and Siraj is going to be rested that's the most latest news regarding the playing XI and the only one spot is uncertain which is Patidar will be given one more chance or he got enough and failed to prove so swap him with Padikkal.

Jurel is both a good batter and a good wicket-keeper, there were many situations when he gave the right information for DRS to Rohit. I found that lagging when Bharat was part of the team. Patidar has been completely out of form and I do not think he will be part of the team for the final test. Agreed with you that Shiraj may be rested Bhumrah will play and the rest of the team will be the same. If India can win the final test then its ranking on WTC would be secured but we still have the Australia series which will not be easy.

I doubt there will be any changes made in the team. They will go ahead with the same team and might give Bhumrah a rest in the final test. Akash Deep bowled well in the last test match he should get another opportunity in the final test. I don't see any need for the management to make any changes as the current team is in full form to book another win in the final test match in the series.

I doubt it as I think they as in the management will rest all the seniors and experiment with the new guys. The last test is where the new guys can be tested and some of them will become either bowlers we need or batters. We have already seen how good Jurel is behind the stumps, he has been accurate enough to use DRS and has been a good batter. I have a notion similar to the legendary Sunil Gavaskar that he might be the next Dhoni in the making. As he does what Dhoni did when he started his career as a WC. It is high time for the Indian team to get a wicket-keeper who can bat and take productive decisions.

I still think that some of the senior players would be rested. I guess Bhumrah, Ashwin and Jadeja will be rested for the 5th test. As India has already won the series there no point in selecting the seniors. There are a few players who have been on the bench. It is better to give them a chance in the 5th test. It would be a good idea to test them in case we replacement in any other test series.

I still don't understand why he went against the governing body and jeopardized his career. Ishan Kishan is too young to destroy his career by not behaving like a professional. He will now regret his actions for the rest of his life. Some so many players are dying to be part of the squad and play for India and some guys like Ishan Kishan take it for granted. Iyer is following the path of Sanju Samson which will lead to nothing. Once in a while, he might get an opportunity but that won't matter if he doesn't bat well.
