KL Rahul…

Man was opening last World Cup for India. If anyone had a right to whinge about batting positions, it’s this bloke right here. He is more than capable of statpadding to 500 World Cup runs if he bats in top 3.

Not a single word from his mouth about being demoted to 5.
 
What a waste of innings by Rahul. Stage was set for sky but dump manegement send Rahul ahead of sky .

It also proves that a modern batsmen should be flexible and talented enough to adjust to different positions for the reuqirmenet of the team
 
Top innings from Shreyas Iyer...much better than Kohli's knock. He is a very underrated batsman and don't get the mention often that he deserves
All that talk about his short ball issues is no longer any issue, he has worked on it n sorted
 
- 85(116) vs Australia
- 55*(56) vs Afghanistan
- 103*(97) vs Bangladesh
- 95(104) vs New Zealand
- 88(94) vs Sri Lanka
- 101*(121) vs Afghanistan
- 51(56) vs Netherlands
- 117(113) vs New Zealand in Semis

One of the greatest World Cup performance ever by Kohli
 
Why its not enough? I mean if a bowling attack can't defend 320 plus then it shouldn't be considered a great bowling attack.
generally speaking.
Thumb of rule.

You score as many you can especially in a WC SF

But no one got ample opportunities like Rahul despite his failures
 
150 strike rate hundred from iyer in semi final wow played man of the match innings
 
NZ is a poor bowling unit, didn't plan their team selection and backups well.

Yes

Modern batsmen. But when will this criteria apply on Pakistan cricket?
 
Shreyas Iyer is here to stay! (May well captain in the next world cup). India should groom Jaishwal (left-hander) after Rohit and Tilak Varma at No.6 (another left-hander) or someone who can bowl decent part-time spin. This can give better balance if Pandya wants to get back (he should definitely play in SENA conditions). Team will keep prospering...

Lol as if Rahul set the stage on fire as an opener. Dude was the biggest flop and deservingly demoted down the order. He should thank his stars Dravid didn't dropped him from his plans.
 
Congrats to India let's see if they will play Australia or South Africa in the final
 
if bharat is in finals then i think the other finalist will be in massive pressure...
 
Players better than our babar and rizwan

Kohli
Rohit
Gill
Rahul
Iyer too

Babar only better than sky ishan and pandya in batting but overall package pandya probably provides more.
 
Wow just woken up to see this massacre.

Southee-Boult duo are done, NZ bowling attack almost as bad as Pakistan’s
 
Iyer is clutch. Short ball weakness aside he is a handful

Probably in tests he should play in Asia West indies and nz only. He would struggle in Australia and SA I feel.
In England it's 50 50
