[Tyler Durden]

Abysmal team selection yet again. Why would you drop Hardik Pandya and take Dinesh Karthik for a T20 match? And why Ashwin again? Oh dear! Virat is losing the track of it.

Apparently Hardik Pandya hobbled off with an injury during the warm-ups which is why he is not playing.

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

Only attraction about this match is Pant's debut. Why Karthik though??? Team selection is baffling. Ideally both Pandyas should have been playing in place of Karthik and Ashwin. I don't understand the love for Jadhav either.

Didn't know that. Thanks for update.

 

[Reddy]

Kohli opening

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

When VK trusts someone he gives them ample amount of chances before discarding them.

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

WI T20 squal looks more complete and threatening than ODIs.

Lol few months ago Jadhav was the next big thing and now he is not even worthy of getting selected?

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

WI look strong in T20's this XI can beat anyone anywhere. Even the crowd looks great, seems like both players and spectators are only interested in this format.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

6 so far

 

[Reddy]

26 runs in 2 overs

 

[czar]

Kohli playing well.

 

[Reddy]

BACK to Back 4 by Kohli

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

Lol few months ago Jadhav was the next big thing and now he is not even worthy of getting selected?

'LOL' . 'Few months' is enough time to judge player's caliber and future for any particular format. By the way I don't even remember hyping Jadhav as next big thing by anyone.

He shouldn't be playing in T20Is imo.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

51/0 in 4.4 overs

 

[Hasan2K8]

Windies selection for t20s needs to be same in ODIS. What a mess they are! Used to be big fan of WI early 2000s!

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

Agreed man!! Used to be a big fan of WI myself.

They themselves are to be blamed for messing things up despite having good pool of talented cricketers.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

What a joke that Gayle, Samuels, Pollard, Narine etc are not allowed to play the one day series but then magically turn up for the T20s. They should have been in the odi squads.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

What a shot for by Kohli

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Kohli

Nice celebration by Williams there

 

[Muhammad10]

Kohli played well, thrives in his comfort zone...

 

[Reddy]

114/2 12 overs

 

[Reddy]

Sixxx Karthik on Fire !!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Indian future looks bleak if Pant is so hyped.

Golden age is over.

Pakistan will dominate now.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Dhoni gone

 

[ExplicitAI]

Honestly Gayle should've been there for ODI's, what a joke

 

[IAJ]

The innings from Pant is probably the worst I have ever seen in T20s.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

The innings from Pant is probably the worst I have ever seen in T20s.

Some of these hardcore IPL fans were laughing at me when I asked them to wait before these new crop of players play outside India particularly Jadhav and overhyped Pant. Jadeja still bats like a noob even after playing tons of matches. This indian team is all messed up right from the dressing room to the field.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Golden age is over.

Pakistan will dominate now.

Pandya, Jadhav, Bumrah, Pant and Kuldeep all of them are hyped.

Yeah, agree with you, the real test for all these youngsters is international cricket abroad. Same goes for players in PSL and all other leagues as well.

 

[Rayyman]

India's best players are: Kohli, Dhawan, Shami and Bhuvneshwar.

 

[Sadevdesai]

A wicket in T/20 matches only means that it is a DOT Ball !!!!!!!!!!

 

[ExplicitAI]

Pandya, Jadhav, Bumrah, Pant and Kuldeep all of them are hyped.

Nah Pandya is a world-class allrounder, the guy can average high when it comes to batting and will pick up wickets in games too.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pollard should bat at number 3

 

[Square Drive]

Indian future looks bleak if Pant is so hyped.

Golden age is over.

Pakistan will dominate now.

Completely agreed.

 

[Justcrazy]

India have edge here because they have better spinners , WI will need 3 players to play really well to get this total.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Not confident with this bowling lineup - just takes one WI batsman to click and they can chase this.

 

[gani999]

Pandya, Jadhav, Bumrah, Pant and Kuldeep all of them are hyped.

Apart from Jadhav, none of the others are hyped.

 

[Rayyman]

Wanna see Gayle bat

 

[gani999]

I don't understand why Pant is coming in for so much criticism. He was far better than Kedar 'the flop show' Jadhav and MS 'the legend' Dhoni today.

 

[Justcrazy]

Gayle on now !

 

[Justcrazy]

190 is a big ask .

 

[Justcrazy]

Ashwin will get gayle here I can sense

 

[KingKhanWC]

Gayle at home on his comeback.

Looking good so far.

 

[Justcrazy]

gayle

 

[Justcrazy]

WI need couple of really big overs here.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Kumar is such a good bowler in this format.

 

[Justcrazy]

17 after 3 overs

Indian bowlers not giving any width to batsmen here.

 

[QalandarFan]

Nice going so far 36/0 (4)

 

[DRsohail]

lolz shami

 

[ExplicitAI]

Wow the target has been getting reduced so quick in such short time.

 

[QalandarFan]

and

 

[Justcrazy]

up for WI here

 

[QalandarFan]

Evin Lewis should bat like this for Windies more often.

 

[Justcrazy]

52 after 5 overs

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

52/0 after 5 overs.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Lewis murdering Ashwin brings back memories of Fakhar Zaman in the CT

 

[QalandarFan]

there it goes!

 

[QalandarFan]

Dropped Kohli and Shami run into each other.

 

[Justcrazy]

66 after 6 overs

 

[QalandarFan]

Lol that was hysterical, lovely to watch.

 

[Square Drive]

India ) )

 

[QalandarFan]

Wow it is weird to see Chris Gayle as the defensive batsman.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Shining India!

 

[Justcrazy]

Kupldeep smacked

 

[QalandarFan]

And for Lewis has absloutley murdered the Indian batsman.

 

[QalandarFan]

Dropped again! )

 

[KingKhanWC]

The wheels are coming off for India.

Kohli seem clueless out there.

 

[Square Drive]

LOL lovely seeing India getting spanked )

 

[Square Drive]

LOOOL another drop )

 

[KingKhanWC]

Who is the Indian commentator, using the wind as an excuse

 

[QalandarFan]

Only 116 required from 13 overs.

 

[Abdullah719]

These drops )

 

[shaz619]

India ) )

) ) I was going to log out and take a break but had to join in a good laugh with my bro SD

 

[Abdullah719]

Who is the Indian commentator, using the wind as an excuse

"It's not easy in these conditions"

 

[Justcrazy]

WI still need over 100 runs here

 

[QalandarFan]

They were just 17 4 overs ago and they have added 60 Runs to their total in that team!

 

[shaz619]

Who is the Indian commentator, using the wind as an excuse

Maybe the same guy who said Indian fans are gone for a quick bite when we had them at 65-5 in the CT final
