India is undefeated in last 8 T20I series and nobody cares - Why?

freak_virat said:
I created this thread because I read someone comment in that 11-0 streak thread that India is also undefeated in last 8 series and I have no clue about that as I follow cricket a lot. And I bet many Indian are in the same position otherwise this thread would be posted earlier.

true, most ind cricket fans are like "meh" about t20 bilaterals unless its the t20 wc or ipl........... like a poster above commented , most of us dont even remember those series we won in a row ..... its no big deal ....... just a bit of fun watching on tv while having a few beers with friends that particular evening like going to a movie or something ..... its forgotten the next day

Lol, you're back again.
Uncle, looks like u haven't gotten the rest u need yet.
Have a good night uncle.
As i said, too much tv has gone to ya head.
Instead of targetting me, u can do some other stuff that is ACTUALLY productive
 
One team has a big mentality championed by some ATG calibre LOI players while the other team has a small team mentality that extends across to the fan base - who take every success as a moment to savour because they don't have anything else to celebrate. This is the harsh truth.
 
It'll be a huge upset if we win this T20 series against NZ.
 
India should use the opportunity to provide some exposure to Pant. No one will care about winning this T20 series. Most teams will get serious about the T20 this time next year.
 
Bilateral T20's should be reduced to 1 or 2 on a tour imo. I honestly can't remember how we had performed in the T20 leg of any bilateral series.

yup. But i think they mandatorily have this for commercial reasons. T20 attracts old men and women, young men and women, kids everybody. So i don't expect t o go away.
 
When I look at Pakistan XI, they remain almost same for tests, ODI and T20. For India, players in three formats change a lot, with T20 team full of less known or no name players.

Can you imagine, someone like Krunal Pandya being in India T20 team and being in ICC top 10 T20 international bowler as well. In India, upcoming no name players like Khaleel Ahmad, Washinton Sundar, Shreyas Aiyyar, Shardul Thakur etc get played in T20 internationals. No Indian selectors and/or fans are much bothered if the team is lacking good pacers/ good batsmen etc. Still whichever players are selected manage to win more than they lose.
 
So, they are gonna fit Dhoni, Pant and DK in one team in the T20 series vs NZ? That's weird having three keepers in one team. WHy is Dhoni playing T20s ?
 
If England can play three wicketkeepers in tests why Indians cannot play three wicket keepers in T20.
 
When one is winning test series and/or ODI in SENA countries , the T20 results mostly ignored and not considered an achievement.

T20 results become a big deal if failing in other formats because then something is better than nothing comes true

Has there ever been a team that hasn't lost? Even WI considered to be one of the best ever lost 1-5 to Australia. Steve Waugh's Aussies lost to India in Sharjah and India.

What's your point beyond trolling?

Trolling??😂
Some indian just made a whole thread to show how much indians "don't care" about their record. But the fact of the matter is that u are trying to brag that u don't care hence just trying to show that pakistan's consecutive wins hold no value.

he got out in 11th over
missed easy 200.

Just coz he got a 100 in 11 overs doesn't mean he would have the same amount of stamina or overs for that matter to get another hundred.
Where's the common sense?

lol you are kidding right. Rohit sharma becomes the mother of all beasts only after 40th over in the one dayers. We are talking about T20. You think he won't have stamina after 10 overs?

May be you have never seen Sharma batting, he smashes 100 between 35-50 overs. Stamina is never a problem for him

As you can see T20 series are used to test bench strength. used to test various facets of their game.
 
Tough for India to win this series. Bk is the only pacer with any pedigree. Shami is going home. Khaleel will be smashed.

India's T20 bogee team NZ. In NZ it is almost impossible to beat these beastly hitters with this bowling

He had to extremely lucky with hitting sixes in those 10 overs and not being caught. But he wasn't lucky hence didn't get the double hundred.
But a good knock i'll give him that

No offence to the Ipl supporters but the ipl seems pretty boring.
An odd close match and that's it.
Comparing it to the psl in the entertainment aspect only i can without a doubt say the psl has more entertaining matches. Possibly due to the similar abilities of the players.

Any batsman that scores a century is lucky. Its a game of inches and there's always a ball with your name written on it. Batsmen get only one chance.

You can't watch IPL as a neutral. You gotto pick a team and invest time on it. I used to feel the same way about NBA initially. Every tournament has entertaining matches. That is, close games. IPL stands out because the cricket is high quality and the star power is higher compared to other leagues.
 
Every chance of still keeping this record.

Eden Park is 50-50.

I watched one match of PSL where ronchi hit well iirc and the bowling and field standards were so poor it was embarrassing.. Apart from Ronchi the other batsmen were also very poor.. I know you can't judge the league from one match however I found it extremely below part in terms of quality and didn't get a chance to watch again.

IPL has also been boring stopped following it for years now but the one off match I get a chance to watch the quality looks there.. It's a lot to do with production as well and not just played performance, the outfield, crowd,camera work, commentators, studio shows etc add to the quality of the game which PSL lacks..

PSL still needs few years to be compared to IPL in terms of entertainment value.

That is the point. India hardly fielded full fledged team in any of the series. Mostly they were used as warmups for one dayers. T20 internationals are forgettable unless if it is world T20.
 
Should drop Rohit, Dhawan, and Chahal in the next game. My lineup would be:

Gill
Pant
Vijay
Rayudu
DK
Krunal
Dhoni
Hardik
Kaul
Khaleel
Siraj

I don't say you shouldn't gloat. But you miss the point of the thread. Point is consecutive unbeaten T20 series is not really something nobody cares given that almost all the teams use T20 series as giving chance to youngsters. Something that SA is doing now.

Good to see India giving chances to youngsters from the 2007 wc squad i.e Rohit, Karthik, Dhoni.

This T20 series is used for different purpose. GIving chance to them to give match practice for Dhoni at the internatioanl evel as much as possible. India has only 10 matches before world cup including 5 T20s. DHoni doesn't play domestic. India will field DHoni in all the T20 matches just for this.

Didn’t Dhoni play vs NZ in India in 2017?

Was that practice for the WC too?

Dhoni, Dhawan, Sharma and Karthik have all been playing since wc2016.

Do you see Kohli featuring ? He dind't even take part in T20 in Srilanka nidhas trophy. Bumrah rarely takes part. Sharma is there for captaincy. Otherwise guys like Khaleel would never be part of the line up.

Kohli actually played in that NZ series too.
Bumrah was also involved in the series (not a problem as he’s fairly young)
Dhawan isn’t really a youngster either.

Karthik Dhoni Sharma also played vs Sri Lanka in 2017/18 series

And didn’t Raina play in the T20’s v South Africa last year?

Yes. as a washed up player. Most of the time India will rest a few players. They don't always the BEST team possible in any series. We are okay with that. Infact that is what these T20 series are far
 
Apart from the senior players like Dhoni, Kartik, R Sharma, Dhawan, B Kumar, Chahal, others like Pant and H Pandaya are also regular players for India in ODIs as well. So the rubbish about India or any other country not playing their regular players in T20s should now stop. Only Kohli and Bumrah are rested to save them from burnout.

Why is it so difficult for some Pakistanis to accept that India doesn't value T20Is? And what difference does it make? The ranking table still shows Pakistan as no. 1 and if they value the format, they should be happy with it.

This.

For India, T20Is are to test new players, and to only occasionally play our best players. Why should anyone be bothered about this?

India is using these T20Is to prepare for world cup and try some youngsters! They do take T20s seriously (+ casually) in IPL though :))

Maybe because u are boasting about not caring about t20is and trying to downgrade our team's achievements.

Because it is not true as pointed out in my last post majority of the players are regular players, so when Pak does the same then posters are asking why Pak plays their regular players, just pointing out hypocrisy even though I rather Pak tried out even more youngsters.

Just check how many shuffling India has done over the last series. Pandey, Raina, Washington sundar. They may not all be new guys. But they keep randomly selecting players. Those who belong to CSK franchise always find a way to get into the side. There is so much politics in T20 selection and ODI selection in India. This is never a settled side who is going to take part in a world T20. OH yea. this is far far far from a regular side. Because we follow INdian cricket way more closely than you guys. Many are not e ven T20 material.
 
Unbelievable that some can ignore bare facts that key Indian players skip most T20Is (E.g. Nidahas, NZ from recent memory). The denial has now become hilarious.
 
These jokes of T20I needs to stop - it's a sort of cheating with the fans. Most teams don't give two pennies for T20Is but media mockery bluffs fans pay top dollar (& time) for these farces. IND is probably going to loose this series 2-1 or even 3-0, with a side that's missing VK, Bumrah, Shami, Kuldeep, Jadeja and KL - it'll definitely hit their ranking but truth is they are trolling the T20I and ICC rankings here.

I for one to scrap T20I - T20 WC in every 2 years (better every year) and 6 weeks window for that - first 3 weeks to play preparatory games among International teams (can be official T20I), and last 3 weeks for the WC with 12, may be 16 teams. To increase the popularity of the game, may be Associates can play T20I for whole year and that can be used as a qualifier for last 4-6 spots in WC.
