What's new

India [316/6] beat West Indies [315/5] by 4 wickets in the 3rd ODI, win series 2-1

KL Rahul couldn't show this consistency before World Cup... Dhawan's peak and injury both happened during World Cup... It is probably clear that he is coming to the terms only after Dhawan's career is coming to end (unfortunate though!) Rahul may even start opening in Tests once Overseas tests start and Rohit again finds it difficult...
 
This is officially Rohit's year 2019. Nobody can stake claim to that. 2429 runs across formats. Kohli is with 2370 runs.

what a performance by pooran. phenomenal player.
saini good first 8 overs. Death over bowling was horrible. Needs to work on that. Potential is there.

How is he a trundler rofl? bowls 138 on average.

West Indies is lucky to have Pooran as a wicketkeeper batsman. :inti
 
Though I am not sure how much of a difference it would have made but I think Alzarri Joseph should have bowled atleast 2-3 overs inside 10. He has a pretty good outswinger.
 
Rohit's fantastic year comes to an end. What an year he had. Can kohli overtake Rohit in this calendar year. KOhli is almost matching Rohit in his very best year.

It doesn't matter. Not a single bowler bowls to the field. It is almost like INdia has to self-destruct.

The beard on Kholi doesn't suit him. I dont recall last time I seen Kholi shaved.

His beard has become a trademark for his look so I doubt you are gonna see a shaved Kohli again in his career.
 
WI bowlers lack the basics. Everybody had high expectations from Joseph when he came onto the scene in U19 WC but he also gets carried away and is yet to create an impact in LOIs for WI.

Indian top 3 are close to 4000 runs in year 2019 in the one dayers
Click to expand...

Though Indian team plays a lot of matches but its still pretty impressive but not surprising at all. Rohit, Dhawan and Kohli in the top 3 is as good as it gets.
 
Rahul with not being able to to go big most of the times is the difference between him and Rohit, Dahwan or other top order players around as later make it count more often than not while Rahul even when gets starts doesnt go till the end.
 
India is not out of the woods yet. Still the asking rate over 7.54. Windies is kohli's wicket away from opening the door. Iyer is fairly new to ODI. Rest are unreliable.

They also have the best average. 16 centuries between them

Best top 3 in ODIs without much doubt so even this is not surprising, Eng top 3 is good but they will have to continue that for few more years to come close. This is undoubtedly the best ODI top 3 in Indian history in my opinion and Aus of 2000s was probably the only team with as good or better top 3 probably.

Yes. Aussies are at the second spot.
 
WI is one wicket away from winning the match. India doesn't have players to put on 100 partnership in the back end.

India vs Australia, Jan 14 ODI. Expect battathons. Both teams have great stroke players

Without Bumrah India’s bowling looks much weaker but still batting should keep the series competitive.
 
Keemo Paul has improved his pace considerably. Was bowling late 120s few months ago and now he can go upto late 130s.

In Indian normal batting condition no fast bowler is going to do well except guys like Malinga, Bumrah. Indian spinners do well though against SENA teams. WI players have monster hitters to play INdian spinners. That is why they compete well. Won 2 and tied 1 out of the last 7 games here.

Is Bumrah injured? Thought he was being rested for the BD and WI series.
Click to expand...

He had a back injury and still recovering if I am not wrong so not sure if he will be available for Aus series.
 
India has to stabilize their middle order. There is no logical reason why this grandpa Jadhav should still be playing. He brings nothing to the tabel.

Last time Aus toured without Smith and Warner in 2018 they scored freely against Yadav and Chahal more often than not. Cummins was probably the highest wicket taker in that series. Still one expects Indian spinners to come into play.

What other options are there. Manish Pandey, Gill?
 
Since Dhoni/Yuvraj/Raina combo (before they lost form) Indian middle order has been so shaky. Too much of chopping and chaning.

Dube, Suryakumar Yadav.
Click to expand...

Dube is pretty mediocre and limited as far as what I have seen. Suryakumar Yadav is someone who always impressed me with his stroke play and compact technique and thought would debut few years back however maybe because or his stats in FC or list A not being as good as some other around he wasn’t considered. So not sure if he is in the radar of national selection.
 
jnaveen1980 said:
Gill should be playing
Click to expand...

Agreed. In my eyes he is one of the best young talents around and its high time India starts developing him as Rohit, Dhawan, Kohli arent gonna get younger so its better to have youngsters like Gill to cone in instead of Jhadav or experimenting with Dinesh Karthik every other month.
 
WI 315/5 (50.0)
IND 210/4 (36.4) CRR: 5.73 REQ: 7.95
India need 106 runs in 80 balls
 
What a beast Kohli is. Best ODI batsman world has ever seen.

Still lacking a quality spinner which is needed to win a WC in Asia. Chase is part time at best. But yeah I like the balance of the team.
Click to expand...

Agreed. Apart from that, it looks like West Indies could be a contender for the WC 2023 with their young squad which will only get better and better.

West Indies are doing what England did after WC 2015. I wish Pakistan did something similar instead of waiting 3 more years and then planning 4 months before the WC starts.
 
Titan24 said:
But doesnt he prefer opening and has done that most of his career?
Click to expand...

ALl the Indian talents are top order. But they have to adapt at the end of the day. Prithvi shaw is another dashing batsman who plays first class like ODI. Even tests like ODI. AN opener though. Middle order needs multiple gears. Iyer, Pandya okay. They need a couple more.
 
KOhli batting second averages 69 strike rate 94. India's two saviors are Kohli and West Indies fielders lol

He's been in great form the past year or so. He finished the Vijay Hazare Trophy with an average of 113, the highest in the tournament. He continued in the same vein in the Mushtaq Ali Trophy. His tally of 392 was the third highest while his strike rate of 169 was the second-best among batsmen with 250 runs in the tournament. If he isn't in the radar of national selection, that's a problem.
 
As much as dislike Dhoni for the last few years he developed this percentage game that will ensure that he won't get out easily. An ugly technique. But great survivor.

So looks like he is putting up numbers as well.
 
Jadhav’s is always saved by him being an option with bowling as surely with bat he hasnt done enough to be in the team as a 34 year old.
 
Should INdia lose this series, Kohli and team management have no one else to blame but their short sighted approach of pursuing this guy Jadhav.

He hasn't even played 25 odis till date. With our Goat top 3 he never really got any proper chance up the order, even now his place isn't secure. Cut him some slack, did decently with the very limited chances he got.

Agree. I understand why he flops in Tests. He has a technical weakness. But in one dayers there is no reason why he will continue failing. He has the perfect game to be a successful ODI batsman. He just has to convert his starts.
 
Kohli now has to protect his wicket and also manage the asking rate. Jaddu won't score quickly for sure.
 
cottrell almost pulled off a football style run out. If it had hit Kohli would have been run out for sure

He has been pretty mediocre in those ODIs if you remove his record against Zimbabwe, his SR is still only 80. Obviously he has some skills and that is why he is opening at international level for India but hasnt done much in his career till now.
