Many Indians have performed admirably in this IPL season.

Batsmen: Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson, Rishab Pant, Ambati Rayudu, Prithvi Shaw, Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer

Bowlers: Siddharth Kaul, Sandeep Sharma, Mayank Markandey, Mohammed Siraj, Basil Thampi, Ankit Rajpoot, N. Rana

I think it is about time the selectors got some of them into the senior XI. Some of the non-performers like Jadhav can be sent out. It would also be a good idea to keep the test XI and the ODI/T20 XI as separate as possible.

Good scoop shots from rahul.

 

[rhony]

What a talent this guy is. That reverse sweep of Unadkat for 4 just shows his incredible hand eye coordination. He seems to have realized this is his last chance and is very consistent as well

 

[Justcrazy]

Royals won by 15 runs

I was more impressed with last 2 boundaries vs Archer. Little too late but he still found a way to play those 145+ yorker or near yorkers.

Yes but I've seen him play those shots earlier in this IPL. The reverse against a pacer is just outrageous

 

[BreadPakoda]

Agree with Jattmoola. Impressive batting.

 

[troodon]

Rahul should open with Dhawan.

Rohit should either bat at 4th down or pack his bags. We do not want super slow starts anymore. But Kohli is too much buddies with Rohit.

Rahul will be pushed to middle order where he will be wasted.

 

[JattMaula]

Agree with Jattmoola. Impressive batting.

Are you a khoolee fan Pakoda bhai?
