Hope that's true. No matter how rubbish they are right now, but they always turn up against Pakistan.
I would have probably used that series to get in form
Think this is what they will more likely go with:
Playing three proper fast bowler means tail is too long so team is not balanced at all .
Don't think you can afford to not play 3 fast-bowlers in ODIs these days. Every team plays atleast 3 frontline pacers. Reddy's bowling isn't really that great either...can't see him being a genuine threat with the ball. He seems like someone you can give the ball for 5-6 overs max, but he is not a wicket taker. And Pandya, though very reliable with the ball (when he bowls) is not a frontline seamer either.
It’s not about Asian conditions it’s just about his slow SR nowadays.. he was a batsman who could play a certain inning and then go into certain gear, he is unable to accelerate anymore, and remains on low SR.
It's a myth. He has been poor away from home in ODIs as well this decade.
That is sorted
Hybrid model was a big mistake implemented by India at the behest of sponsors.Maybe this is the reason why Naqvi accepted the hybrid model.
Problem is India don't have any reliable batsmen. Jaiswal is reliable but he has to make debut. It has to be seen whether he will make it or not.India needs as much as batting cushion as possible. Why do u think 3 allrounders were in mcg? .its to counter balance kohli and rohit ineffective batting.
Ideally i want
Rutu will be mauled badly in sena.he was brutally exposed by burger in sa odis and again in test tour against aus a.that guy is one hell of a shameless statpadderIdeally i want
1) Jaiswal
2) Rituraj/ Sai( rutu is not bad for ODI)
3)
I don't like him at all but still think he is good player for only odi .
If jaiswal is not selected, all the fans are going to spit on bcci.no way we can escape the ct disaster with washed up players.I don't like him at all but still think he is good player for only odi .
UAE pitch will suit his batting style but we are just talking hypothetical possibilities but in reality even Jaiswal will not find a place in the champions trophy team .
I would say Gill is pretty reliable in ODIs. As far as adding more ARs to the side, Reddy has not made his ODI debut either, so you can't exactly consider him reliable.
I don't get the hype around Gaikwad. Most overrated Indian batter along with Paddikal. India have much better batters in their T20 team, who could be just as good in ODIs.
Iyer again? The guy looks like a tailender against the short-ball. KL is not bad in ODIs. And I feel Sanju and even Abhishek could do well in ODIs. Abhishek Sharma in particular could be a real good white-ball player for India. I would take these guys over Iyer who has been badly exposed in recent times.Ideally i want
1) Jaiswal
2) Rituraj/ Sai( rutu is not bad for ODI)
3)Gill
4) Iyer
5) Pant / Samson
But what we are going to Play
Gill
Rohit
Kohli
Iyer
KL
He did very poorly in Sri Lanka too. Even Rohit did not have a bad series, but I don't think Kohli even went past 20 in that series. Also should be noted that Indian ODI pitches are much flatter and different than the pitches you see in ODIs in Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and UAE. Let's see how he does in the CT but personally, I think the end is night for Kohli in all formats.
I know he had a great World Cup, but then again, so did every other Indian batsman. At the end of the day, he failed to deliver when it mattered most in the final. His weakness against the short-ball is significant and something that stands out like a sore thumb, which every team will be exploiting. Even in the Sri Lanka series he failed to deliver even once.
KL is mental midget player under pressure But most likely he will Play over pant as wicketkeeper batsman . pant hasn't done anything great in limited over formats to cement the place.
India looking a bit weak this time around tbh.
I'm only mentioning the playing eleven that I think India will most likely play. And this is the playing eleven (or some version of it) they have gone with mostly, even during the World Cup. Also feel like KL is unfairly judged for his performances in tests. In ODIs he has done fairly well and should be playing. Even in the WC he did deliver for India in that high-pressure match against Australia. Pant may not have delivered for India in ODIs or T20Is yet but the guy is an x-factor player who should be playing both white-ball formats. There are some players that demand blind faith even in the face of poor performances and Pant is one of those.
When you have a couple of players like prime Kohli and Rohit in your team, you don't need everyone to deliver. The others can play around them and you can still be successful in a format like ODIs. Before Bumrah, India had an utterly rubbish bowling attack for the better part of the 2000s and 2010s. But the presence of Dhoni, Yuvraj, Kohli and later, Dhawan + Rohit ensured that even if India were chasing 380, there was a high likability of them chasing it down. Especially in India. The problem for India right now is that there isn't a single player in the side who is at the prime of their career besides Bumrah. And Bumrah can only bowl 10 overs. The least they can do is get Jaiswal into the team but with Rohit and Gill occupying the opening slots even that seems unlikely right now.
India gone with same playing eleven because we don't have any other options but now we have the option of playing minimum three all-rounders( Pandya/ Nitish/ Axar/ Jadeja).
Kohli and Rohit are excess baggages. Kohli has dropped 47 catches in the last 5 years. Goes missing against any random spinner. INdia's chance will significantly improve if they don't play
I think India are still highly enamored by the idea of Kohli, the ODI player (who you could genuinely make a case for as the greatest ODI player of all-time), rather than the player he is currently. But you have to be smart enough to see winds of change. And Kohli right now is not even the player he was a year ago, let alone the one he was in his prime. I guess its meant to be this way. Every big player needs that reality check in a big tournament or series to be reminded of how much the game has passed them by. Maybe the CT will be the reality check for Kohli.
I can see them selecting this squad. I think they might go with Washington and one of Jadeja or Axar because both are left-arm spinners. Another likability is leaving out Reddy and selecting all three, which is possible because India have prioritized their spin-bowling prowess in the past.
Tbf, Kohli hit those 3 centuries on Indian soil. I don't think he'd be able to replicate them in foreign conditons.
It's all csk pr .they think their captain must be a member of Indian team. Dhoni's privilege effect.
Reddy played few innings which arrested slide . his technique is quite tight and good.so it's more probable that certainty. India dont have such other good pace Ar packages other than Pandya. I don't think jaiswal will be picked unless management especially rohit wants him in ct.Jaiswal is a sure shot success and it completely reveals the failure of rohit .rohit is surviving in the name of pp bashing and cant survive beyond pp.jaiswal has to be atleast in top 3 and kohli has to play at 4 .ego maniac kohli will not agree. Have to see Gill's approach after the last snubbing by selfish captain.
I think it would be absolutely ludicrous to leave Jaiswal out of the CT squad. Yes, he hasn't played an ODI yet but I don't think there is any question that he will do very well in this format. Even if he doesn't make the playing eleven, he is your best top-order back-up. Best thing for India right now is probably Kohli moving to 4, Gill at 3 and Jaiswal opening with Rohit, and KL or Pant at 5. but I don't see it happening. As for Reddy, he has some serious potential with the bat but I'm not sure how good his bowling is. Somehow I feel there is only room for one seam-bowling AR in that playing eleven, and that place will be occupied by Pandya.
If everything batsmen is in prime form and kohli is the captain, he will have a taileneder like kuldeep or chahal at 7. But every one is about be booted out after India's first round exit in ct.
Kohli the ODI batsman lost a bit of respect when he denied singles to get to his 100. That was quiet unlike him. He used to dance down to spinners and play with utmost ease. Nowadays he is creasebound unsure of what to do against spin. India has so many players coming through. He should make way for them. In essense he is done in all formats. But for marketing reasons BCCI is not letting him go. There is a symbiotic relationship between BCCI and Kohli. Both need each other. So he will extend his career as long as possible in these two formats.
Such a poor team.

Throw ball specialists are taking him down in scg nets and it was telecasted live in lots of yourube channels.Evidently he dont have shame to accept the fact.
Kohli is also not the same kohli from 2016. The 2023 Kohli was good in a couple of matches. But in other matches he focused mainly on making 100 where he could have pushed harder like in the semi final. He is not quiet close to the dominating Kohli during his peak. But both will be there for "commercial" reasons. Anyway it is not a long tournament one way or other. Two matches you are done if you lose.
Especially in toss heavy factored UAE, it's difficult to catch up too.This is having all the auspicious signals if t20 2021 wc .don't think we are going anywhere in this ct.
This team is not in good spirits for one thing. We know how Rohit captains. Thta is another thing. Jaiswal still not playing ODI is a travesty. To be frank i don't want him to play ODIs when Rohit is around. His form will also dip. Let Rohit leave and Jaiswal come in.
I never saw this much shameless bigotry from a captian to be frank.there is an young prodigy in waiting and old washed up unfit guy hogging to place .ironically hiding his fitness(?) and weakness to stay beyond pp as "selflessness".Kohli is also riding on Rohit's shoulder.both have to go together asap otherwise both leeches will sink the team in to more darkness.
So who will win Bangladesh?
