The selection of Rishabh Pant is getting very controversial these days. Keralites are not happy, because they think that Virat Kohli, being a Delhiite is giving chances to Pant because he is also from the same state. Those fans from Bihar wants Ishan Kishan to fill the position. And if MSK Prasad has his way, then some sub-standard player from Andhra will come up as the replacement for Dhoni.
It is true that keralites are not happy with the team selection, if you look at the amount of exposure and opportunity Pant is getting even with constant failures is frustrating as if there are no other players in India to be picked in that position and Pant might be getting the nod every time may be because they are from the same state, the reason why there is a huge cry for Sanju Samson is because there are not much players that are in contention to play for India but Samson is performing really well for a long time and still he is neglected.

Players from the smaller state boards always face this issue in India. I don't know much about Kerala cricket, but I have read about K. N. Ananthapadmanabhan. Once he was regarded as the best spinner in India. But he was never given an opportunity to represent the national side, because the selectors were afraid that if he performs well, then Anil Kumble will be out of the team. At least Sanju is luckier than him.

India has given more chances for Pant to perform and i think the pressure to replace Dhoni is affecting his performance, once he understand that he is not going to replace a legendary player like Dhoni then he might play without pressure, he is also missing catches as a keeper and we have much better wicket keepers than him right now and we need to give others a chance rather than putting more pressure on Pant.

Yes, the performance of Rishabh Pant isn't to the expected level. Truly there is big politics within the team. Most of the team players were the one that played for Bangalore Royal Challengers. Sanju Samson could've been given chances in between. Ishan Kishan is playing good, but when they enter the international matches there isn't big performance. Rishabh Pant has been a reason for the loaa of India in several matches. There isn't pressure, because if he has faced pressure now he could've got replaced by someone else.

I agree that Pant needs to be replaced soon though I do not agree that Dhoni won't return since the upcoming T-20 World Cup could be his final tournament.

Yes I think people are expecting too much from Pant. Even before coming to international format he was expected to just come and deliver. He is really feeling the pressure and people are not realizing that he obviously cannot keep like MSD as he had 15 years of experience with him while Pant is just a kid trying to learn he will take his time obviously.
Ashwin is excelling in the T-20 format these days since I hear stories of him performing extremely well in small T-20 leagues these days which is why I fail to see why he shouldn't be brought back into the squad since Kuldeep and Chahal are out of form these days.
I would like to see him play in T20 format and see how he performs, if there is IPL before the world cup and if some of the players perform well in that then there is a possibility that they could be selected for the world cup squad.
I think Ashwin doesn't has some charm delivery using which he can take wicket in just one ball. He actually bowls for a few overs builds pressure using some deliveries and then bangs and get some wickets.

Are you talking about TNPL? That tournament is not up to the standard of global franchise cricket leagues such as the CPL and the BBL. And Ashwin can't play in any other T20 league, as the BCCI rules prohibit him from doing so. He took part in the recently concluded Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, but that tournament is also not considered as having high standards.
The point is that his form is great these days no matter how popular the tournament is. He performed well in the recent test series too against Bangladesh and I know that this is his speciality, but he is a seasoned cricketer and deserves to be brought back into the squad.

Sundar is the only spinner who performed really well in the recent T-20 matches for India while Ashwin could back him up nicely.

Another concern is Risav Pant, India should find the replacement for him. I don't  think that Dhoni is going to play in the T20 worldcup.

The batsmen have got used to Ashwin's variations and he is struggling abroad in all formats. And at home he needs turning tracks to take wickets. Now the other spinners such as Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal are being preferred because of their ability to perform even on hostile tracks. But the Indian pacers have excelled in all sort of tracks. Bumrah is currently being regarded as one of the top bowlers in the world right now and Mohammad Shami and Ishant Sharma are not too far behind.

In T20 even the best bowlers can go for plenty of runs, and you can't really blame them. If it is 90% skill and 10% luck in the ODI format, in T20 format it is 50% luck and 50% skill. So if a batsmen is lucky on a given day, he may smash the best T20 bowler available for more than 20 runs in an over. qne unfortunately none of the Indian bowlers can be considered as T20 specialists.
The bowlers in T20 has to be on point with all the deliveries if not they will be taken apart, Ashwin was a specialist in T20 and that is how he got national recognition as he was performing well in the IPL as an opening bowler but i am not sure what happened to him as he is not even in the T20 set up of things while he is only playing Test cricket, Bumrah is a good bowler in all format because of his capability to bowl stump to stump line, the world cricket has a few T20 specialist and earlier there was Umar Gul who shined really well.

India always had an issue with the bowling department. They never had good strike bowlers as in India kids prefer to bat more than bowl. You will always find plenty of spinners but rarely you will find a good medium pacer or a fast bowler. I think they should give more chance to Md Shammi.
I am sure you are talking about your own experience when you were a kid that you prefer to bat rather than to bowl and so does majority of the kids but when you look at the current Indian team they have the best bowling line up, in T20 they might go for runs and they have the batsman to back the bowlers and the last match against West Indies was a prime example.

I can't agree with your post. India right now has one of the strongest bowling attacks for any of the teams, and the bowlers have performed even in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah. Don't you remember what happened when South Africa visited India? The maximum number of wickets were taken by Mohammad Shami, Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav.

It only seem liked a chance for West Indies in this series because we don't had some regular bowlers. Bowlers actually really leaked runs but our batsman kinda mended that. Eventually India won and that's what counts but if it were someone like Australia or England then we don't have a chance with such bowling unit but I think India are also not gonna keep the same lineup against them as well.

I placed a small bet on team India to win because I was confident they would not loose the series, but I became nervous when they were asked to bat as I felt team India may not be able to post a competitive total. However India’s batman rallied and posted a monstrous total, which was always going to be difficult to chase even for the West Indies hard hitters. @Avirunes you’re correct for teams like Australia and England we will have to field a stronger team, but this series gave lots of exposure to other players too which is required to help them grow in international cricket.


Yeah chasing would have been much more nice actually but it was sure in minds of West Indies side as well. India's opening order batsman did well and we posted a very strong total. Though West Indies also fought back but wasn't enough to win the match for them.

Still I would have placed a small bet even if they had batted first as well since West Indies had a chance like I said earlier.

Without Bhumra the bolling attack does not seem that much great. The batting card is great but India should look at the bowling department. Even the spinners are having difficulty to bowl as well. Another concern is Risav Pant, India should find the replacement for him. I don't  think that Dhoni is going to play in the T20 worldcup.

West Indies lost their third wicket and it was a great catch by Dube.
West Indies lost 3 quick wickets but Hetmyer and Pollard are smashing the bowlers around the ground and they are dealing in sixes and fours and they are keeping up the run rate now and it is interesting how long they can continue to score like this as the total to chase is really huge and one more wicket and it will be difficult for them to chase but for cricket fans enjoy the treat as ball is flying all over the ground.

This time WI could not match the Indian batting and could not chase the huge score of 241 which is quite big to chase in T20. Indian batsman and bowlers both did excellent job and Kohli quickfire 90 made more difference to the game .

Yes Kohli has done great finish at the end he scored 70 runs for 29 balls with 7 6s and 4 4s it will help to 241 runs but the partnership between Rohit and Rahul excellent and bowler also done the excellent job to take quick wickets in first 6 overs.
