Strangely Indian fans don't seem much interested in LOIs these days. Even the ODI series victory didn't mean much.
 
So batting lost you previous game and you have no change in batting lineup.
 
What rubbish. :(

Wth is Manish Pandey doing in a T20 side by the way?

Manish pandey has a long way to adjust to t20s. They don't give him chances where he must be given(ODI) more often and suddenly he comes at no5 in a t20 game.That's some thinking management :)))
 
Once upon a time I used to dread at the possibility of Indian defeat. Nowadays , while it is in tact in tests , for LOI i don't have that pressure. Unless some new talent is there ,or Kohli batting or a WC ,I don't like LOI

Bizarre. We have so many IPL hacks to be tested at that slot and we put Pandey who is not a slogger/ big hitter there. How do we expect to win?

Everyone and his dog knows we have been reaching semis in T20 world cups only due to Kohli. Last time he hardly had any support. We need a slogger or two in the middle order to bolster our scores.
 
Sunil Gavaskars pitch behaviour prediction is as reliable as a Nigerian Lottery Win Mail. He has predicted it to be more drier than WT20 opener against NZ . Can law of averages catch up with Sunny and make it true?
 
Kohli has lost 1st odi, test and t20I game of his captaincy... Lol... However after that he doesn't lose much

General rule of thumb . Predict the opposite of what gavaskar thinks of pitch.
 
Rahul should prove reliability in tests first where India needs him most. Then we can draft him to LOI s
 
Funny thing will be the others getting out trying to get a good score and Dhoni ploughing his way to 100 SR 40 odd and people will praise his "lone fight"
 
I have to agree with the commentators here.

Best way for KL to bat is orthodox which means Kohli has to play way too aggressively at the start. Even more with our middle order.

We really need to get Pant or someone else of his ilk at the top and move Kohli back to 3.
 
They are fantastic actors. Next day they will do the same farce without an iota of pride and behave like seasoned veterans.
You are being harsh. Most experts all around the world are terribly wrong when it comes to pitch report.
 
The old yuvi every one is waiting is back with a bang. 0 of 6 balls in t 20
 
First Kohli and now Yograj saved by Indian Umpire, at least umpire is doing his job.
