Is it high time for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli duo (Ro-Ko) to bow out gracefully or should they also venture on a MS Dhoni-style gamble?

Yousuf was a better bat than Ganguly and Dravid is not even in the discussion. Babar Azam and Imam ul Haq in ODIs already have better numbers than any Indian ODI batter in history apart from Tendulker Kholi and Rohit. Rohit has 33 100s after millions of matches. Babar has 19 and is 7-8 years younger than oldman Rohit despite lean patch of 2 years.

Naah.

Dravid and Inzy were on par as ODI batsmen.

Ganguly was better than MoYo. More runs, more centuries. Slightly lower average but Ganguly opened.

Babar and Imam DO NOT HAVE better numbers than any Indian ODI batter in history apart from these three. Ganguly, Dhoni, Dravid are all better than them.

Runs have inflated in the two new ball era.

Using your logic the likes of Dhawan (44.11), KL Rahul (48.31), Shreyas Iyer (47.81), Sanju Samson (56.66), Shubman Gill (56.36) etc are better than MoYo (42.08), Miandad (41.70), Anwar (39.21), Inzy (39.53) etc lol.

Most of Babar's 19 have come against minnows and B/C teams during IPL.

He has ONE hundred in ICC tournaments where teams play full strength teams. Rohit has 8.

Rohit has 100s and MoMs in ICC ODI KOs. Babar has none.

Babar has ZERO 100s against India whose full strength team he plays. Rohit has a few vs Pakistan including in World Cups where he has two MoMs vs them.

Huge gap between them.
You can check Icc ratings as well as performance in world cups, Ganguly has Yousuf beat.

Anwar and Ganguly are actually on par, with Anwar having a better str rate but Gangulys performance against top teams is better.

Ganguly slightly better imo. Ganguly has more runs, better average, more 100s.

Also contributed in CT 02 win.

I wonder who was that? :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I haven’t checked the validity of your statement and stats but for the sake of argument I’ll assume they’re correct. So 26 have come against top tier teams. He doesn’t care who he’s playing against, he just performs. You continue to score self goals when you diss champion players.

It's not Rohit or Virat but our flat track bully captain princess should who should go. He should be thrown out of the team as he has been a regular failure in white ball cricket outside flat highways of Ahmedabad.

Shreyas should captain the side

On a serious note, Rohit & Virat should take it series by series. Sachin played 2011 WC at age of 38.

Kohli does have a chance to catch that flight in 2027, but age factor in Rohit's case makes him vulnerable. But he has lost his weight, is back scoring big runs which he had given up since 2023 WC. Rohit wants to win that WC badly which he couldn't in 2023 & I think he will be on that plane because of his sheer will.

- what does 'Towing the RSS line' mean in everythign outside the cricketing sphere

- What does 'Towing the RSS line' mean in terms of BCCI selecting the 15 odd guys for each Test/ODI/T20 series/tournaments?

- And by Extension please also give examples with the same metrics as i mentioned above how the 15 odd guys chosen for each tournament/series for the 3 formats ever since 'Amit Shah's son' took over 'furthered or exemplified or displayed' the 'RSS line' in all their actions on the field in each series/tournaments.

- Please also explain how the same 15 guys 'towed the RSS line' in their actions off the field, ie in press conferences, on utube/SM/their generic behaviour outside of the cricketing sphere or in their private/ personal lives.

A country which has a cricket board chief who is a son of the BJP (RSS) Interior Minister; and a team, which has a head coach who supports BJP/RSS and was actually a politician of the same party...neither the country nor the team can be toeing the BJP/RSS line

the reason that they would not be toeing the line of BJP/RSS is because they have no history of polluting other institutions of the country with their extremist ideology.

For example, they never polluted the media and targeted the independent journalists (made them lose their jobs). Actually acquired an entire channel (NDTV) to shut up Ravish Kumar

never polluted the film industry with the propaganda films, targeting the minorities. Never gave tax exemptions to such propaganda movies

never recruited and promoted judges out of turn due to ideological alignments

never imprisoned 70 to 80 year old intellectuals who criticized Modi. one senior intellectual was found dead in his pool of urine, under custody

so no there is absolutely no chance that in cricket, the BJP appointed people will toe BJP/RSS line

The fact that Sarfaraz Khan is not even recruited for India's Team A after having lost 17 kgs of weight and having one of the highest first class averages in the country is by pure chance. He was not even given the practice time in the nets (confirmed by Indian sports journalists) on foreign tours of the past when he was travelling with the team; for some undisclosed perfectly understanding reasons. You know why? Because there is already a Muslim in the Indian team - Siraj. There are a few Muslim politicians in BJP too.

The BJP does not have anything to do with the anti-Muslim politics. Nothing whatsoever.

If they are being stubborn, they should be forced out. They are unnecessarily hogging a spot for the Indian youngsters who are ready to take their spots. Taking a 40 year and a 38 year old to South Africa for the ODI WC is a bridge too far. I know these two desperately want the ODI WC on their resume, Kohli already has it but they cannot get everything they want in life.
 
It should be performance based going on from here - if they continue to do well they play otherwise they don’t

Hogwash.

In the 23 wc our pace trio had two Muslims and One Sikh, lol. There is no such cap on Muslim players.

The reason why Khan is not selected is that he leaked a dressing room secret during BGT last year which irked Gambhir and since then Khan has not been selected. Its more about Gambhirs rules and ego rather than his religion.

Had a chuckle when I read that RSS wants only one Muslim players,lol.
 
Also stop making it a religion topic. Siraj is a permanent fixture in the Indian team. Shami would have been too was it not for his unfortunate injury.

There are other cricketers in India who would be picked if their performances warranted so.
 
Religion isn't a issue here, Sarfaraz made a mistake by leaking dressing room's plans to Aussie media. Gambhir with his inflated ego now will make sure Sarfaraz doesn't get selected in any of India teams until he is the coach.
 
Even Ishan Kishan was sidelined by the Indian team management for his behaviour after being benched for couple of test matches. The decision to move on from Kishan was taken by Dravid & the current coach Gambhir seems to have followed the policy of not selecting Kishan.

lollllzzzz....

Fanstastic display of absolute cherry picking and selective data points with describing Rubbish Kumar as an 'independant journalist' being your diamond high and sadly the same old ghisa peeta victim card saazish narrative that your lot have absolute mastery of, worldwide, a la senator joe McCarthy who saw 'commies in every bush'

Acquiring an entire channel to shut up rubbish kumar lol...would'nt it be easier to pay off the channel owners ...or maybe this was also a normal business acquisition or a merger that happens day in and out, but sadly that is lost when one has the same familiar agenda.

Re film industry 'targeting the minorities' once again cherry picking because what has happened in the very recent pastover the history of indian cinema and who were favoured and who were always shown in negative light and also the gangsta element of it, wont fit in your narrative.

Any ways, i do not comment on the time pass or other sections of PP for non cricketign matters, i do not visit those sections, i am only here for the sport we both love and cherish and will restrict my comments to this only.

I agree Sarfrz should be considered and given a chance, and am sure his turn will come, so will mo shami - but there is no evidence of him (sarfraz) not selected becoz of what he follows, and if that was the case why was he selected in the first place in the test team and why did he play vs Nz and in team in the BGT down under?
What about Khalil Ahmad who is in the team, what about mo siraj who is the constant in odi's and tests and can be considered for t20's , Didnt Mo shami play in the CT ,and surely will be around for tests, Avesh khan who was around till recently, umraan malik - another guy who was in the mix till recent, and basically all those named above can surely make the team again - if their performances warrant and they fit in the combo. ...

Basically, you have hinted at a quota like system which SAF has, and used the muslim card on this.

This is my last post on such a topic, do'nt see any positive in dignifying any such, with a response.

That 2022 t20 wc pakistan innings gives him Aura and saved his career for longer....
 
It's no secret that they want to play till the 2027 WC. And I for one am ok with it. Rohit somehow brings his a game for ICC tournaments and Virat somehow wins those games that looks like we may not win it. Also, experience matters too.

But I also do believe they will fail in the WC, lol.

This is why you need to check the rankings and team performance before copying the stats. Sri Lanka were a top side when Kohli scored most of his hundreds against them, they were consistently reaching tournament finals and even winning titles during that period. Kohli smashed a peak Malinga.

BCCI has been looking for a new poster boy after Sachin and Kohli, someone to carry the brand and star appeal forward.
Gambhir wants to project him strongly to sideline the seniors.
Gill is the perfect pick for both sides :D

Gill has been elevated more than he deserved at this early stage. Time will tell whether he can actually reach that level, but he definitely has the potential. Let’s see how he fares.

We are talking about World Cup 2027 which is 22 month away . He has done alright here

But can he and Rohit perform in bouncy South Africa conditions with ageing reflex? Answer is no

Rohit is a liability and shouldn't be seriously considered for the 2027 World Cup. He is hanging on thanks to some lucky knocks, but anyone who sees him bat can see that he is finished. Him and Kohli are not on the same level. On top of that, Rohit is keeping Jaiswal and Abhishek out of the team. Jaiswal played a terrible knock today but he is still someone who should be backed in this format because all indications point towards him likely being a good player in this format.

If they were playing in South Africa right now, India's best XI would be:

1. Gill (c)
2. Jaiswal
3. Kohli
4. Iyer
5. Axar Patel
6. Rahul (wk)
7. Pandya

Yesterday’s loss was definitely not on him, the lower order plus Jaiswal failed to score at a decent rate. Kohli did an impressive job.
 
ROKO definitely playong 2027 WC. The main reason our young talent is not able to take responsibility and also not able to play long inning like 2. India is still heavily depends on ROKO.

Rituraj Gaekwad is good batsman, and have ability of playing long innings but hez not getting chance due to quota system. Quota system destroying Indian cricket
 
India has not much options TBH... Virat's form is back and I think he might keep it that way till WC..

pady upton the former mental conditioning coach attributed clutch performance of any player is related to "staying in the moment of the game and playing the ball on merit" which is called being in a zone which does not happen or the preassure does not let this happen to great players.

I think, kohli by far the best clutch batter india produced.Number of t20 and odi clutch innings he played albiet the team let him down not winning at times.

2011 ODI world cup final . Knock of 35, small contribution but vital in final
2013 champions trophy final. top scorer in a rain curtailed match
2014 t20 semis. Winning knock of 70 odd against South africa
2014 t20 final. 50+ in a losing cause
2016 t20 must win quarter final famous 82 against Aus
2016 t20 final. 89 odd against WI. Ashwin bowled two no balls which costed us the final.
2017 champions trophy semis against BL. 50+
2022 t20 world cup against PAK famous kohli goes out of the ground. 82+ against PAK
2023 ODI world cup semis. 100 against NZ
2023 ODI final. 54 against AUS. could have gone on to score 100 but for unfortunate inside edge dismissal.
2024 t20 final knock against SA
2025 ODI champions trophy semi final knock against Australia.

Notable failures:
2019 worldcup semis against NZ . Unfortunate umpires call dismissal
2015 ODI semis. failure.
2017 champions trophy failure.

out of 15 key moments, he delivered 12 times. i do not recall an other modern gate who holds similar record in knock outs/clutch matches.

Definetly kohli can be in zone in crucial games which is not easy for many.

How can you have selective bias and not accouting for the totality of record?

Rohit played great all through out 2023 odi WC with quick fire 35-50 scores. His lack of fitness also contributed to that style where he could not continue beyond 10 overs except against ENG in league match. If he works on his fitness, i think he can be handy in 2027 ODI world cup

Rohit is no longer the player he was 2 years ago. It's not just fitness; it's also reflexes, reaction time, the ability to construct an innings. Fitness is not just about looking cosmetically pleasing, it's about the ability to bat for long periods of time. Rohit has not done much of that in the last couple of years
 
They can be easily replaced. Friggin Gaikwad scored faster than Kohli.

We are not Bangladesh whose replacements like Zawad Abrar are even more mediocre than midgets like Mushfiqur

2023 WC semis , he scored a 100. out of the following which are not impactful considering they are all in knock out's .
He was man of the tournament twice in t20 world cups and one time in ODI world cup 2023. how was he stat padding if your argument is true? The sample size of kohli is out of 15 knock outs, he scored in 12. whats the sample size of ponting or travid head or any other contemporary great who has better or similar record? Sachin failed in 2003 ODI finals and 2011 finals, does that make sachins ODI record inferior to jaya wardane who had a century in 2011 final? Jaya suriya never played an impactful final innings but that makes him no less legend.... if kohli is having poor record, who is having better record over a period of 15 years(similar sample size)

Kohli still has 2027 world cup. Lets see where he ends up.

Rohit and Kohli just added a ton of headache to the selectors. After the disastrous Test series defeat where the young Indian batsmen could neither play pace or spin, it was refreshing to see the old guards tacking the SA bowlers by their horns.

As of now, I believe both Kohli and Rohit will be in the squad. This means the likes of Abhishek, Tilak will have to wait a bit longer in ODI’s.

I honestly feel that more than LOI squad, RoKo are needed in the Test squad. Youngsters are totally lost.
