Lol I really wanted to see how Rahul captains but there goes the chance again for new captains. Kohli isn't in the form too right now so it would have made sense if he took break from this series .
Also happy to see Bhuvi back , I love him . Rooting for Shubnam Gill to make a mark .

Kohli isn't in great form right now, and that's exactly why he should be playing. Taking rest for a few matches is one thing, and getting dropped from the squad is another. And I don't think that the Indian selectors can afford to drop Virat right now. Like it or not, he remains the best player in the squad. He is temporarily out of form, and for that he needs to play more matches against quality opposition.

"Kohli isn't in great form right now , and that's exactly why he should be playing. " Well what are you talking ? If that is the case why do other people who are out of form has to go back to Ranji and get into form and then come back ? He might play the next match wonderfully but that's another story . We have number of players who can play and win the match , we gotto try new captains , new players and give chance to others . If we lose , it's fine , atleast we got some players experience out of it.

Now only chance he can get is, In IPL. Thin chances of Gill to play in Playing XI unless india wins first 2 games.

Betting on India in this series is the best option, however, have you seen how SA dominated team Australia? SA has recovered the team a little from the early shit performance.
Good to see that Hardik Pandya is back and he has gotten a huge success in domestic matches.
Their recent performances against Aussie surprised me as well. hope they continue same form against India.
No need to get excited about "Hardik recent success in domestic cricket" as its Lower tier competition + graveyard for bowlers.

Another ODI series is coming up or should i say another pointless series for India. It might be helpful if BCCI plan some T-20 games ahead of WC instead of 50 over cricket or give some break to players, their schedule is ridiculously packed.

South Africa tour of India

1st ODI - 12 March
2nd ODI- 15 March
3rd ODI - 18 March

Rohit not playing due to his injury and Virat is also taking break from ODI. Word is one of them (KL Rahul or Shreyas Iyer) might lead India against the SA.

Update : Kohli is playing in this series so no captaincy for new guys Grin. Squad is out and word is Rishab Pant is back-up WK for this series, KL Rahul is front runner for WK. How quickly things changes in world cricket.

- Sikhar,Hardik, Bhuvneshwar are back in team after long injury break
-Shubman Gill is in squad and Prithvi Shaw is retained.

"India squad: Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Virat Kohli (C), KL Rahul, Manish Pandey, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah, Navdeep Saini, Kuldeep Yadav, Shubman Gill."

^^^^ The selectors need to strengthen the middle order, because the top order batsmen are not getting enough support from the remainder of the playing XI. Warner, Finch, Smith, Labuschagne.etc have been performing well on a consistent basis. But the middle order batsmen such as Paine, Carey and Marsh are not getting enough runs and building strong partnerships.

Another whitewash, South Africans are back. They won by 6 wickets with 27 balls still left. Australian bowlers were struggling to get wicket and stop the run chase. The target was not at all big for the South Africans to chase. Overall a good match

It was quite unexpected. I was expecting a whitewash, but in favor of Australia. But what happened was the opposite of it. Anyway, it was good to see the South Africans beating a big 3 team after a long time. BTW, I don't know what happened to the Australian bowlers such as Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins. They are the world's best, but they could not perform up to the expectations.

@vishnu.reang I'll second that as none of us saw this coming, and I yet can’t believe it that South Africa has performed so well in this entire series. It’s difficult to say whether the Australian bowlers were tired or simply over confident in this series, but I’m sure they won’t be happy with their performances and will definitely bounce back in the next series. Furthermore I also believe that the Australian selectors will have to make few changes in the team, because such performances cannot be repeated by Australia again.

Today South Africa whitewashed Australia really good return for them before Indian tour as they have some confidence and ability to fight against big teams after very bad time bowlers doing very good job and batting is also going with Klaasen and Malan doing good job for their team hopefully they will do more better in near future.

What a fantastic ODI series SA had and just whitewashed OZ by 3-0. Inspite of Labuschagne 108 runs innings OZ could just post 254/7 in 50 overs and in reply SA started well and all batsman contributed and made the chase easy for them and won by 6 wickets and 27 balls to spare. Smuts was Man of the match was picking 2 wickets and making 84 runs.

For Zimbabwe, 3 of their professional players were included in the playing XI (Brendan Taylor, Sean Williams and Sikandar Raza), and still they lost the match by a big margin. The mix of these professionals with amateurs is not turning out well for Zimbabwe. They need to convince more of their professionals, such as Kyle Jarvis, Craig Ervine and Ryan Burl to play for the national team.

It is the bowling quality of Zimbabwe that are encouraging the Bangladesh batsman to become attacking players and Tamim Iqbal is back in form with back to back centuries and Liton Das posting his highest ODI score in this match, there is no way Zimbabwe will be reaching close to the score posted and if the Bangladesh batsman can showcase the same confidence against better teams then it would be great Grin.
In recent times I think Bangladesh had bad experience against every team because of their batting department did not perform and on a sudden the unit has changed totally which was surprising too me. But now it make sense. So they are facing a weaker bowling unit.

The require rate of the match is now over 15 an over and there are still over 15 overs lefts. 2 wickets in hand so nothing much is going to happen for Zim team.

Whatewashed ?

What were you expecting?

Zimbabwe will fight back and claim the match.

They hardly play any International series nowadays. This was just a practice match for Bangladesh and nothing more.

Zimbabwe could not sustain their last innings good form and just could not even reach anywhere close to the target . They lost again by big margin. Also did any one noticed that in last 3 matches Bangladesh scores 321, 322 and 322 again in today’s match . What a coincidence this is that they scored almost same runs in 3 three matches.
Zimbabwe form is very poor for many years they never produce any good and lethal bowler and fielding is also not good just batting have some talent but in recent time they also fail to have some big score because batsmen not going to play as plan feeling they will lost this all in coming few years.

Although the opponent is Zimbabwe, the knock from Liton Das was amazing. It has been the highest individual score for him and Bangladesh team followed by Tamim Iqbal 158 scored in the last match.
Masrafee is going rest from tonight. As a captain, he was doing great to be honest. We will be missing him as a captain.

Simply current Zimbabwe side is worst side in cricket because they have many issues related to local based and board is also not doing any thing for improving quality quota system is also doing own trick feeling sad for Zimbabwe as once they was really one off emerging sides in cricket but fail to keep things as they need on time now they are going more down day by day without any porblem I am sure they need some good time and stronge management for solive these all things.

Just checked the score and it seems Bangladesh are cruising, 182 for no wickets and it's only 33.2 overs. In the 2nd ODI Bangladesh gave a target of 323 runs and Zimbabwe were very close to chase it down (318) so considering that, this cruising may not still safe if the total runs do not go over 320+.

Not sure if it's the pitch or the bowlers are bowling low quality in this series.
