As i read somewhere he is brought in as replacement for injured shankar who was playing at #4 ,so your statement doesnt make sense...trust me many of us want him to open but if rahul is clicking you cant replace him,its even more criminal
Click to expand...

Only reason Shankar has been replaced by agarwal is they want a opener similar to dhawan, someone who scores quickly thereby giving rohit time to settle in. Rahul even with this innings will not do that. We need rahul at 4 as he is the best option at 4.

Its the green glasses man, did u see even one greenbro saying such stuff for babar after he was dropped?No

Yes he was dropped ,too bad from bengolibros but what he js playing right now is just skills and nothinng but

People even say that Kohli was dismissed twice in 2 balls in CT final by Aamir. How could someone get out when he was dropped? Dropped catches are as much part of cricket as catches taken.

I think its given pant got #4 spot for all the next games unless he doesnt perfrom in all of those matches..Dk doesnt give me anyhopes but then its his last wc,just wishing he destroyes his demons to be a beast for atleast 3 matches now
Click to expand...
dk is in form of his life. He is never good for long innings. He can best bat at 6.
 
I’m always baffled when I see legit zero fielders in the outfield fielding restrictions are so weird it’s a wide field and on that shot I literally saw no one in the outfield

Indian selectors and management has been smoking some spiked stuff of late. They replaced an opener with a WK batsmen, then brings-in an opener for an middle order 'all-rounder' and today replaced a bits and pieces player with a specialist WK batsmen who has been around since ages.

Cmmon now they arent that bad here,everyone predicted KL will open since he is the only one who had career as opener,and since captain isnot giving shankar to bowl,its better to have Dk as a batsman..

Tho yes we would have liked shaw/mayank to open with kl at 4 but then you have to see after changes they made KL is justfied lets just hope dk would be as well

It’s literally batting practice for India

It does not bode well for knockouts. India needed some tough bowling to face and some great batting to encounter it. Rohit is playing as if he's doing net practice. The intensity is missing. Hopefully Malinga, Pradeep, and Lakmal can trouble us before the semifinals..
 
MP2011 said:
Not at all defensive. Just pointing out that we'd have played well even if Rohit got out early, so poor is BD bowling at this level.

I agree.

My point about the catch also doesnt disagree. The catch had to be taken, and the catch proving costly are valid points wouldn't you say?

Why are you sure Rahul is best at 4 when he hasnt bat at 4 at all apart from 1-2 balls in first match i guess?

We all know people will still ask for slectors heads if mayank opens and performs badly,they ll say why KL didnt open,so ofc they are going by the best option
 
Rohit has crossed Warner (520 runs) as highest scorer of this WC. At this rate he'll easily overhaul Tendulkar (673 runs in WC '03). Would be awesome for us.
 
Bangladesh got caught on a wrong pitch/ground against Rohit! This looks very much another 200+ for Rohit & 400+ for India!

They had just one job to do :facepalm:! Could not figure it out the right-mix in 4 years. They are slowly getting there though. Hope by the SF, will have the best combo.
 
Even during this carnage, Rahul can't score at run-a-ball!

Rahul played well against Bangladesh in the practice match where he bailed out India from trouble. After looking at Bangla bowling, I now doubt Rahul's credentials at #4.
 
Bangladesh never had a chance if India batted first. That's India's modus operandai. This will be a massacre, with either Shakib or Mushfiqur Rahim notching up another useless ton :shakib

BD's body language is completely down today. Sorry not liking this.
Click to expand...

NoOnes body language is good when hitman gets going..just like how pakistanis always predict thier team losing to australia ,and indians prediciting to lose vs eng,becajse some teams always have edge vs some and india always had edge vs bd ,noone from bd will deny that.if you put sharma's hitting on top of that it just gets worse
 
Captain caveman said:
So indian fans were raving about kl rahul before this wc. I have only seen him in this wc, he is ok, but not fantastic! Are you future stars, the gills and shaws overhyped too!
What happened to the last but one under 19 wc indian captain, i think his name started with z. He looked a good player!
Click to expand...

All Indian players are over-hyped. They are arrogant, fatsos even though they are at bottom of Tests, ODI, T20 ranks. Indians need to learn how to be humble while breaking world records like Hasan, Imam, Babar, Sarfaraz, Imam, Amir etc.
 
Man Sharma is a beast scores runs so quickly not only in terms of balls but in terms of time U literally look away and he’s scored a 100 but no matter how great he becomes he’ll always be remembered that he struggled with the swinging ball

Kl can't open, we are in the 25th over of the game and he is yet to score at run a ball. We are a 2 batsman team putting unneccessary runrate pressure on 1 of them which is beyond stupid.

Also pant has no middle gear and dhoni is useless wherever he bats.
 
Rohit looks so bored at the crease. Come on BD bowlers, make them struggle a bit. We are facing SL next, not a good preparation for the SF vs England?

India hadn't lost a match to England in the WC from 1992 until 2 days back.

What edge are you referring to?
 
Indian lineup today is similar to English line up. It has as many as four wicket keepers in it.

LOL

A century in the knockouts and he will be remembered as the greatest opener of this generation.

Comfortably better than Amla.
 
Bangladesh is performing like.... Bangladesh.

.... And people called me arrogant when I stated a simple fact.

No team fans are happy with thier selections not one batsman has been consistant on #4 ,how is that selectors fault?
Remember fans critising them for dropping ashwin and jaddu to give continuous break to Cha-ku, we all know how thay came off

Yes they make some clownish selections here n there but they arent always bad

Amla was past he never had the impact while batting that Sharma has who wants to watch some long bearded uncle bat I’ve never liked him anyways boring uncle to watch bat and South Africa is the worlds most useless side that never turn up in tournament and smash everyone in bilaterals and Sharma is already a great
 
Rohit has now hit the most 6s amongst Indian ODI bats.
 
India looks so damn good against more ordinary teams like Bangladesh and Pakistan. It's like men versus boys.

Rohit is pure class.

Oh please, who exactly did they try out? This is pant's 6th game I think. The one guy who you consistently gave chances to they dropped out of the blue for no real reason.
 
Does it get any worst soumya sarkaar like might as well bring saurav ganguly from the commentary box to come bowl at them

KL still striking at 88 SR despite playing 25 overs. He's frustrating me more than the Sanju Manju.
Click to expand...

Manjrekar correctly said KL tries to play stylishly and correctly without looking to compromise on those a little for placement. Irony died a thousand times after that statement.

So, Rayadu, DK, Shankar,MSDs were the best of the lot then! In that case we are doomed.
 
Rahul is the probably the only batsman in the world that consistently frustrates himself whilst batting
 
Saumya has bowled with the best control so far. That itself highlights Bangladesh's problem!
 
Pant-hyping Indian fans should look at how their hyped next-Kohli is playing. Proves that IPL isn’t a great place to judge an ODI batsman.
 
I don't feel like watching the match whenever this noob KL comes to strike, such a pathetic ODI player :facepalm:

70 off 84 balls. Such a dheet person

True. Weirdly enough, the best performances of both Pant and Rahul have come in test matches.

Amazing team India. I back them to win the WC. So much class with both bat and ball.

Even when England won the toss on a perfect pitch for them the other night and everything was perfect for them, India were still only 30 runs short on the chase. If India play England again and either win the toss, or play them on anything except a flat pitch, I see them beating England.

Time will tell, but India are still my favourites, and we really see their class when they play low ranked teams like Bangladesh and Pakistan. It will be interesting to see if they humiliate Bangladesh today as much as they did Pakistan in that game.
 
Where are my fellow Indian brothers who called rohit as tuk tuk sharma before the start of the world cup.

Man he has score a 140 ball 100 so Babar Azam vs Rahul thread could be bumped again and people start saying oh look rahul is way better

No one's hyping pant, he is just better than current dhoni, ofcourse so are many others.

Yuvraj Singh
Suresh Raina
Manish Pandey
Shreyash Iyer
Ajinkya Rahane
KL Rahul
Ambati Rayadu
Dinesh Karthik
Rishab Pant

9 players tried in the last 2.5 years.

Unfortunately, nobody really set the stage on fire the way Yuvraj Singh did during CT 2000.

However, I feel Iyer was hard done by. He looked the most solid among all batsmen at no 4. However, he was abysmal in the field in almost every game he played. Maybe that's what cost him his place.

Frankly, even Rayadu got hard done by. If Rayadu cannot even make into what has now become India's squad of 17 for the WC, then what was the point of playing him for a whole year?
 
Sharma doesn’t even care he’s like this is way too easy Sharma is proof cricket is a skill based game not a fitness based game. He’s fit as well but you don’t have to be a fitness freak like kohli to achieve success he’s probably as equally as good as him without him having not eaten pani puri in 10 years
