Lets see how the young gun of india perform .

Sanju is waste at the opening because once Jaiswal ,gill comeback he is not going to get the chances

Its probably last chance for Sanju...
a good chance for Bishnoi to be the main spinner now that Ravi jadeja is out of the T20 equation.
good chance for Washi sundar to nail down his place.
and good chance for at least one of the new pacemen to audition and perform for NZ and aus series.

TNT Sport 3 from 2:15 PM

 

[FearlessRoar]

Abhishek Sharma has the highest T20 strike-rate among all batters in 2024

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol why Sanju getting chances after chances in T20I but not in his strong format ODI..?

 

[Rajdeep]

Lol why Sanju getting chances after chances in T20I but not in his strong format ODI..?

How many chances you want him to get? He is an utter flop in international cricket and only people from a certain state demands his inclusion in Indian team.

 

[Devadwal]

Hopefully both Harshit rana and Mayank Yadav will play together

I have a feeling that IPL franchise can stop their debut so they can retain with only 4Cr.

I think mayank debut can't be stopped due to his express pace and lots of expectations on him.As we need a 5th pacer audition for aus series,definitely harshit will be tested out

 

[FearlessRoar]

[Mesozoic]

Could have easily played Harshit ahead of Arshsdeep. We already know what the latter brings to the table.

 

[AMSS]

8 bowling options for India in that XI

 

[U$ofA]

A completely new look side for India. Looks like a very young side. IPL written all over it.

 

[Devadwal]

8 bowling options for India in that XI

Apart from wicketkeeper every can bowl .

 

[Blackbradman]

Except Samson everyone can bowl.

 

[Devadwal]

Brother Das gone
Bangladesh 5/1

 

[Vikram1989]

Apart from wicketkeeper every can bowl .

And can bat too

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 14/1 (2 overs).

 

[sweep_shot]

Wicket.

BD - 14/2.

 

[Devadwal]

Yar why is Hardik bowling instead Mayank

 

[Local.Dada]

Whoa, Mahamudulllah is still playing international cricket?

 

[Local.Dada]

Yar why is Hardik bowling instead Mayank

Enforcer role for Mayank maybe. Hardik has been bowling with new ball recently.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 23/2 (4 overs).

Bad start for BD. Need to accelerate.

 

[Local.Dada]

Arshdeep, Mayank +2 allrounders Hardik (can bowl 140) and Nitish (who is a 135 and can swing the ball)and with Harshit Rana on the bench . if this is our 3 rd string attack fast bowling line up our bowling factory looks exciting.

 

[sweep_shot]

Whoa, Mahamudulllah is still playing international cricket?

Only T20.

 

[sweep_shot]

Huge over for BD. 15 off it.

BD - 39/2 (5 overs).

 

[Devadwal]

Varun chakraborty is rubbish bowler but due to Ghambhir KKR connection he is playing.

Ravi bishnoi is way better than him .

 

[Local.Dada]

Only T20.

Extremely Average cricketer. Kind of like Shoaib Malik of Bangladesh. Given Bangladesh does have some good young cricketers, don’t see why he is in the side.

 

[Rajdeep]

Soorya Koomar Yadav is a poor captain who is bowling a tear away pacer after a spinner

Sky seems like Dhoni, Sarfaraz type captain. Good with spinners on spinning wickets but clueless on how to handle pace bowlers.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Teams batting first in night games in the last 12 months in India have averaged in excess of 190 runs, with four out of the eight teams scoring 200-plus batting first.

Varun chakraborty is rubbish bowler but due to Ghambhir KKR connection he is playing.

Ravi bishnoi is way better than him .

Why is he called a mystery spinner? Where is the mystery?

 

[Rajdeep]

Mayank is not bowling the high pace he was during IPL. Looks like injury took some spark away.

 

[Devadwal]

Mayank pace is down.

Maiden over to start the international cricket.

 

[sweep_shot]

Maiden from Mayank.

BD - 39/2 (6 overs).

 

[Hellion]

Mayank is not bowling the high pace he was during IPL. Looks like injury took some spark away.

Remodeled run up and action.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Varun could have got a wicket on the second ball on his comeback but Nitish totally misjudged the catch

 

[Devadwal]

Why is he called a mystery spinner? Where is the mystery?

This is the mystery

 

[Local.Dada]

Why is he called a mystery spinner? Where is the mystery?

He is Mendis, Mujeeb type bowler, bowls with the flick of the hand, carrom balls etc then conventional off spin and leg spin. That makes them hard to pick unless you are prepared for them. Thats why they are called mystery bowlers.

 

[sweep_shot]

Varun gets Towhid.

BD - 40/3.

 

[Devadwal]

Mayank get his first international wicket

 

[Local.Dada]

lol Mahamadullah uncle

 

[Mesozoic]

This should have been a ODI series in preparation for the CT in similar conditions.

Bangladesh are just not good enough to even compete in this format.

 

[nish_mate]

Mayank 1
Mahmudullah 0

Mahmudullah hanging on for his pension pot...

 

[aqua99]

It’s amazing India could field a XI with not a single player from recent Test wins.

 

[Local.Dada]

Mahamadullah played a similar kind of slog in that famous Wt20 match in Bengaluru too iirc. It’s been a decade. Some things don’t change except he seems to have aged 2 decades since.

 

[Josh]

First time watching Mayank Bowl. Good line and lengths and speeds and seems like a paceman with the brains

 

[Mesozoic]

It’s amazing India could field a XI with not a single player from recent Test wins.

India could also field a decent separate ODI XI that is completely different from the recent Test and T20 squads. Our resource pool is absolutely insane currently.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD are in big trouble.

BD - 50/4 (8.5 overs).

 

[Vikram1989]

Today Mayank's fastest delivery was 149+ but he was appearing lot quicker. Hope he will get again in to 155 plus zone .

 

[sweep_shot]

It’s amazing India could field a XI with not a single player from recent Test wins.

India's population: 1.4-billion.

That helps I guess.

 

[sweep_shot]

Six from Jaker.

They need more sixes.

BD - 56/4 (9 overs).

 

[RyanRyan10]

Sundar hasn't bowled yet. He is playing as a specialist no.8 batter.

 

[Local.Dada]

India's population: 1.4-billion.

That helps I guess.

Bangladesh has a huge population too.why are they so useless in sports then by the same ratio?

 

[nish_mate]

Oh twaddis....for BD

 

[RyanRyan10]

Bangladesh is reviving Varun Chakravarthy's career

 

[sweep_shot]

Same ratio? How?

BD population is 170-million.
India's population is 1.4-billion.

India's landmass: 3.287 million km²
BD landmass: 148,460 km²

More landmass means more cricket grounds/facilities. More people means more players to choose from.

 

[Mesozoic]

Knocked him over over with a wrongun!

There's the mystery! Ab khush?

 

[Rana]

Such a good batting track

Sky should have batted first and entertained the crowed. Should have allowed Indian batters to have fun here.

Boring game

 

[sweep_shot]

BD lose another wicket. Jaker is out.

57/5 (9.2 overs).

 

[nish_mate]

Too much meat and not enough veggies to have any cerebral matter

Same mistakes year on year

All weather excuse. Why is NZ & Australia is better even though they have less population than Bangladesh ?

 

[Hellion]

Looks like without Mushfiqur, Shakib and co. , BD are going to decline worse.

Maybe even regular losses to USA.

 

[sweep_shot]

Mehidy is at the crease. Can he take BD to 150?

 

[Vikram1989]

Why can't sky keep a slip to varun when the opposition is 5 down. He should be more aggressive

 

[Local.Dada]

Too much meat and not enough veggies to have any cerebral matter

Yeah, I don’t know if I have heard of any Bangladeshi chess player either . I know some brilliant Bengalis on the Indian side both Hindus and Muslims so can’t be any crappy gene theory.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Glad we get rid of Avesh and Mukesh type bowlers Kudos to BCCI for selecting express pacers like Mayank and Harshit..
But they should have selected a proper opening batsman like Ruturaj Gaikwad who did great in Int.t20s.
Bishnoi should have played instead of Varun.

Last time an express pacer and allrounder made debut together turned out to be Bumrah and Hardik .

Was Bumrah ever an express pacer? I thought he was always a 140 KMH bowler.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD is fixing Varun's bowling average. LOL.

He was averaging 66 with the ball before this game. It is now 39.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Was Bumrah ever an express pacer? I thought he was always a 140 KMH bowler.

Anything close to 145 is express pace for me my expectations are bit low.

No gaikwad for T20 please.

Jaiswal
Abhishek
Gill

We have better player than Tuktuk raj.

To me, an express pacer is someone who is 150+.

Brett Lee, Shoaib Akthar, Shaun Tait, Umran Malik, Mayank Yadav etc.

 

[Red-Indian]

I haven't seen him bowl before but Nitish looks pretty hittable unless he has variations he's not showing here

 

[JattMaula]

Nitish has increased his pace slightly. Still erratic in length through.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

No gaikwad for T20 please.

Jaiswal
Abhishek
Gill

We have better player than Tuktuk raj.

He has better stats than Gill. He is bit slow starter, but once set he play with ease

 

[Local.Dada]

I think hosting Bangladesh matches are usually loss making ventures for BCCI/ broadcasters. I feel usually they have these series as a favor.

Obviously India touring Bangladesh is polar opposite. Block buster event for BCB.

 

[Devadwal]

More than speed I'm impress with Mayank accuracy.
