1st ODI of the three-match series between India (230) and Sri Lanka (230/8) end in a tie

The pitch is slow, sticky and is offering turn. Whatever SL get , its not going to be a easy hike for our guys. They have some good spinners , chase will be interesting
 
3 catch drops in this innings, by the following players

Mohammed Siraj
Arshdeep Singh
Rohit Sharma
 
SL crossed 200. Nice.

208/7 (47.4 overs).

I think SL have given bowlers a good score to defend. Pitch is not easy.

They are not serious about this game or this series.
Like what, gill is bowling???

Most of the guys are being forced to play. When you play SL on SL pitches there is zero gain except some money for SLC board. It is a lose lose situation. I am not even going to watch INdia bat. I have to go somewhere. Not interested as well.
 
Chase will be tricky once they cross 200....225 + wont be cake walk against sl quality spinners and this wicket...

SL probably could've defended 230 against a SENA team easily.

But, India are used to with this type of spin-friendly pitch. So, SL have to bowl very well to win this one.

Don't think Bumrah is needed here. India was looking disinterested with bad body language on the field.

Im not saying just for this game but for generally .we don't have any death bowler apart from bumrah .

Bumrah is not needed for meaningless series .
 
Man Rohit has totally changed the game .

He is jist playing attacking cricket , hopefully continue to Play in test cricket also .
 
India 40/0 in 4 over.

If Rohit Play full PP overs then game is over for Lankan .

Rohit is clearly the best ODI batter in the world today. It's so silly for us to talk of his retirement. He'll retire when he chooses on his own terms and hopefully on a high.

We do but we don't give opportunities to gain experience. Harshit is one
 
Rohit Sharma is still playing at higher level in LOI's, but is he still in the plans for 2028 WC? Rohit will be close to 42 by then. Kohli will be 41.

BCCI has to quickly transition from both Rohit and Kohli in ODI's too. They can play Tests for another 3 years if they are performing.
 
Gill still seems to worried about his place in the team and is not playing with the freedom he's capable of and required from an ODI opener.

He could lose his place to Jaiswal. He should trust his abilities and attack.
 
As long as they perform, ie score runs, take catches and do not fluff up fielding....dont seen why 2028 aint doable...

Because we don't have much time for experiment in ODI cricket right now

We only have 5 odi after this before CT and we have settled odi team .

Only place is at 6 where we can experiment between parag,dube or any other allrounders .

Wc will be in 2027. Kohli will be close to 39, rohit will be 40+

Yes any experiments in ODI only after the Champions Trophy.

Till then, keep experimenting in T20s for fun.
 
Rohit bhai just doing his thing.

What a player

A once in a generation batter
 
Jaisurya looks fit enought to just wear the pads and come out and bat or turn his arm over for SL....in addition to his diamond crazy batting, dude was a handy spinner and electric in the field as well, complete package
 
Gill gone .
First time happy after gill dismissed

I want Kohli batting to watch but he is not going to last against Lankan spinners
 
Is Jaiswal not in the team? He is twice the player Gill is, BCCI is just creating another super star annoying

Jaiswal is a very good young prospect and everyone is sure that he can do what ever rohit is doing . u will invest in a raising empire than an inevitable decline. Next wc is in sa and it's completely made up for attritional cricket as we saw last time. We should have a fitter ones to drag till the end.he scored almost double the amount t of runs than rohit in eng series alone. If Jaiswal does in next few series too, then it's foolish to not get him.Ganguly made middle order batsman sehwag as opener for his talent and dhoni did it to rohit(His avg was 28 after 84 matches ) .So it's either rohit or team management responsibility to bring Jaiswal in the team for the best output
 
Isn't it about time that Virat and Rohit retire from ODI's now and pass the torch to the next generation now? What are they waiting for? It feels so anti-climactic for them to play a lame-duck ODI series after winning the T20 WC.
 
Rohit Sharma from 200+ strike rate to finished innings at strike rate of 123.40

Yeah I suppose so, CT is a lame tournament anyway. I feel they just have just retired from international cricket after winning the T20 WC.

Nah they will win another ICC trophy ,its either Champion trophy or WTC .
 
Buzzinga said:
Whats Harshit Rana like? Any good or just another product from line and length trundling brigade?

Whats his bowling speed? I'm just fed with the likes of Khaleel, Avesh, Mukesh etc. Even Siraj doesn't inspire much confidence in LOIs.

140kph+ and can bat a bit.

I have no doubt that they will. I'm just saying that CT doesnt really have much prestige to it anymore. WTC would be a crown jewel. But they could always retire from ODI's so that they can focus on tests.
 
PP hitters like Jaiswal and Abhishek are made to sit out because Gill thinks he own the opening spot :misbah

So annoying , hating the way our management thinks and Jaiswal can play any type of game they want him to.

Jasiwal is deserving but Abhishek in ODI no way.

Btw Gill is also deserved the place and once rohit and Virat hang the boots after CT jasiwal will gets chance .

Gill is not stopping anyone place but earned his place

Yes and no. While he most likely won't last till the next World Cup, it's foolish to suddenly drop the best ODI batter in the world thinking about 3 years ahead. We have the time to make a steady transition over the next year and half. Jaiswal will get his chance but no point taking risks with our awesome winning culture and pissing off some of the all-time greats of ODI and India cricket.

I trust both Rohit and Kohli to know the best time. They timed their T20 retirement to <chef's kiss> perfection. They'll do the same in ODIs.

Gill has been a disappointment. He bats selfishly and does not have the skills to open and play at rapid pace.

I want Gill in the team. But not opening the batting. He should be 1 down. He is like Kohli. Not an opener.

Abhishek can bat in ODI's. He takes lots of risks and they may not come off a lot of times. But his role is not just a batsman. He can bowl too. So even if he fails with the bat, he can still contribute with the ball.

Nah gill is right choice for opening. He done great job so far

Gill odi strike rate is 102 and average 60.do you know that ?

Abhishek is still not a odi player .

Once kohli and Rohit retired then only jasiwal can comes as our odi batting is mostly settled .
 
I thought India would be selecting their job squad, but looks like the team are already preparing for the CT……👀

Including this, we only play 6 ODIs before CT. So, no choice. Although Bumrah and Pandya are still not there

I would have thought that was partly by design to, due to the T20 WC’s we’ve had so often?

Partly. But we also play a lot of Tests compared to others. In fact, we are playing a gruelling 5 Test series in Australia and we played 5 Tests against England earlier this year.

We'll also be playing 5 Tests combined against BD and NZ at home.

There's just no space in our calendar for ODIs

I want India to lose a match,preferably the first match. That will ignite this series and we will have two very good matches. Otherwise I see 3-0 or 2-1 at most with SL winning the dead rubber.

happening.. Series is alive and kicking.. Thank you Wellagae
 
These are the types of pitches Sri Lanka needs to prepare for India if they want to be competitive. On a batting pitch, they will either be chasing 370+ or lose within 40 overs. They need to win toss and bat first too on these pitches to narrow the gap and even win.
 
India need 82 runs from 20 overs.

UNless a wicket falls soon, India is in the driver's seat.
 
Is Shivam Dube a bowling all rounder in this side? Thought he was a part timer with ball, #8 is a position for a part time batter, isn't?

As u said rohit and kohli should retire on his own terms, i don't think it's required and they should retire after ct 25.always Indian team objective should supersede any individual whoever they are.

Gambhir already mentioned any team would want both Kohli and Rohit in their team and they have still plenty of cricket left in them. Talking about On whether if they play for the WC "If they are fit, then why not".
 
Once kela used to be aggressive batter but now he has regressed very badly .

I think india should move on from him .but he has backing and influence.
 
Shouldn't be a difficult chase from here on. Only 75 needed with Dube still to come.
