Not sure which board hasn't allowed Indian players to play in the PSL (I'm guessing BCCI or both) but if they were allowed to, who all will be picked by the PSL teams?

:kohli2

Would the PSL teams be interested in our bowlers too?

Ps. Apologies for typos, typing using phone.
 
I think Sehwag - he's still a better batsman and harder hitter of a cricket ball than many Pakistani batsmen :)

Not sure about Yuvi. A few additional potential names:
Jadeja
Bhuvi
Bhumrah
Pandya

Slow ball is king in UAE. Indian bowlers are mainly good at yorkers only. Also they have no star value.

Idk about Jadeja. PSL is already full of SLA all-rounders.
 
Imagine Kohli and Babar opening for Karachi Kings

:aag



death hi hogayi na
 
Kohli/Rohit/Ashwin/Jaddu/Rahul/BK/Shami(if fit)/Raina/MSD will find teams easily.

Jaddu is a terific T20 player. Economical/Brilliant fielder/Can hit a few blows down the order.

Ever happened to look into Jaddu's T20 performances or stats? :P

He is a decent T20 player overall but a poor T20 bowler who will go missing on most days. Not an economical bowler too.

Ashwin hasn't performed in IPL in ages.

Not that these would matter reg PSL selections cos franchise cricket is about branding too plus pitches are more spin friendly there for T20s.

It's so unfortunate that we don't get to see our players get auctioned anywhere except at the IPL. Heck we haven't yet seen likes of Kohli and Rohit get auctioned even at the IPL.

Babar azam
Sarfaraz Khan
Kedar jadhav
Suresh Raina
Pandya
Amir
Bumrah
Chahal/Mishra/Ashwin/kuldeep yadav

Is this a Ind-Pak X1?

I don't think Babar Azam has a chance in IPL,even though he is a wonderful upcoming prospect...he looks more like a ODI-Test player...doesn't have the power game yet.

The only batsman that has a shot from pak is Malik....Hafeez would have had a chance before the ban but now Malik with experience,all-round ability and as a proven franchise T20 player in WI,BBL,BPL etc will have a shot

Oh. My bad. Remember now that he played for Hyderabad before moving to Mumbai. Did he play for any other team as well? Didn't follow IPL very closely after 2008 so don't know.
 
Only Kohli and Sharma and may be Bumrah

The truth is Indian players are not that great in T20s.
 
The title of the thread should be

"Which Indian player would choose to play in the PSL if BCCI allowed?"

Answer = 0
 
Most Indian bowlers apart from Ashwin will struggle to get a PSL contract.
 
KK = Kohli

PZ = Jadeja

QG = Yuvi

LQ = Ghambir , Rahane

IU = Ganguly , Tendulkar , Sehwag

Might not be great but they are more popular than others. Someone like Dhoni will attract many, even if he's not that great anymore.
 
Kohli - Obviously.

KL Rahul - Scored a fantastic hundred against West Indies in T20s. If anything, he is better than Babar in T20s.

Rohit Sharma - Best striker of the ball in Asia.

Dhoni - Best finisher in domestic T20 leagues.

Raina - Highest run scorer in this history of IPL. Has been the most reliable bat for CSK.

Yuvraj - Cleanest hitter in Asia currently.

Jadeja - Useful allrounder.

Ashwin - Came into limelight with his exploits in T20s.

Mishra - Match winner on his day.

Dhawan/Rahane - Might get picked depending upon other options available.

Bhuvi/Shami/Bumrah - Good chances of getting picked, especially Bhuvi as he has been fantastic at death for the last 2 years. I personally don't rate Bumrah.

Seat filling would had been higher for Pakistani counterparts too had they started off in 2011-2012 itself with Akhtar,Afridi,Umar ,Gul,Malik all pulling in large numbers. Anyhow better late than never.

The delusion is so strong that I don't know where to begin. If Indian players are available, the PSL franchises will bent backwards to accommodate them. They have the biggest fan base in the world and there are more Indians in the UAE than Pakistanis, which means that Indians players in the PSL will certainly attract a bigger crowd. Indians will surely turn up to watch Kohli, Dhoni, Ashwin, Sharma etc. play.

Kohli will obviously be the most expensive pick because he is the biggest cricket star in the world today, but Dhoni would go for massive money as well. Most probably the second most expensive pick, because players are picked on reputation and their brand value, which is why has-beens like Pietersen and Gayle are still major draws.

A team that has made the WT20 finals twice in the last two editions certainly has good enough T20 players, and apart from Kohli and Dhoni, the likes of Ashwin, Raina, Rahul, Sharma, Dhawan, Vijay, Jadeja, Bhuvi, Shami, Yadav, Ishant, Mishra and even upcoming players like Jadhav, Pant etc. will easily find teams. Nobodies like Delport, Malan, Bopara, Wright etc. will most likely get ignored if the Indian players are available.

Except that India did not make it to the finals in 2016. Also Vijay? He cannot even find a place in Indian T20 team. I would think some of the indians you mentioned are overrated. Kohli and Dhoni would seem like sure picks, along with say Bumrah.

Anybody who does not share the same thoughts as you is not delusional.

My post was specific to the players who have performed in T20s. No matter how big a player Dhoni is in ODIs, he's one of the worst ever in T20Is. Others are not great either. There is no reason to select Ashwin, the test bowler, in T20s unless you suffer from some sort of inferiority complex.

Yeah my bad, but a team that made the semifinal in 2016 and the final in 2014 cannot be classified as a poor T20 team. India is certainly a very good T20 team. All the players I mentioned will find a team, and I also forgot to mention Yuvraj. Also add Bumrah and Pandya to the list. Vijay plays in the IPL and he is a renowned opener; if the likes of Malan and Delport can find a team, so can Vijay.

Some of the Indian players I mentioned may as well be overrated in terms of their performance, but that accounts for little when it comes to franchise cricket. Only IPL is in a position where it can ignore an expired big name player such as Pietersen, simply because they already have an abundance of star players. Indian players have the biggest fan base in the game + there are more Indians than Pakistans in the UAE. The Indian players will be far the hottest picks in the PSL.

Dhoni will go for massive money in the PSL draft. Only Kohli would be more expensive from India. He is a massive brand and will draw people. Your average fan does not care about the fact that Dhoni does not have a great record in T20 Internationals. Cricket nerds on PP don't even make 10% of the cricket fan base, and that is the main target audience. You don't seem to be capable of thinking from their perspective, and are only looking at players who have performed in T20 Internationals and not at how much value their names hold.

There is every reason to select Ashwin in the PSL - he has the reputation of being the best spinner in the world today + he is one of the biggest names in world cricket at the moment + he will attract Indian crowd to the PSL. I can write it to you in stone that Ashwin will be one of the most expensive picks in the PSL draft. Not as expensive as Kohli or Dhoni, but he will go for massive money. You are incredibly delusional if you think that Ashwin will go unsold in the draft, when nobodies like Franklin and Perera got picked.
 
Some people here doubting the A list Indian stars... I mean come on. Just the commercial value alone would justify any of their players selection. Crowd attendance would be at least 20% higher and huge TV viewership from India as well.

But BCCI will never ever allow their players in PSL. Forget Kohli, Dhoni, Yuvi etc. They won't even domestic players like Yusuf Pathan, Irfan Pathan, Uthappa, Mohit Sharma etc.

They don't allow their players in any league!
 
Virender Sehwag , Anil Kumble, Dhoni and Yuvraj with Stuart Broad (You have to get them as a package)

First of all Ashwin is not even the best spinner in the world across all formats. He is only the best spinner in test cricket. In shorter formats, Ashwin is ranked 19th in ODIs and #8 in T20s with Tahir, Badree, and Narine far far ahead of him.

Second, Ashwin is not a crowd puller, neither is he one of the biggest names in world cricket. You can't put him in the league of Kohli, AB, Starc, etc. A casual fan won't care about a spinner unless you are someone like Warne or Murali.

Third, Indian bowlers have been historically rated very low by Pakistani fans. On the contrary, Indian batsmen are rated very high, this is true from Gavaskar to Tendulkar to Kohli.

Dhoni has a better chance of getting picked by a team. So, even if I add two more then its just Dhoni and Yuvraj. So, the 5 players who have guaranteed to very high chances of getting picked are:

1. Kohli
2. Sharma
3. Dhoni
4. Yuvraj
5. Bumrah

The others are just not that popular. I do not think casual fans will care about others like Saha, Jadeja, Rahane, etc. who have zero charisma.

This is no rocket science that viewership will be higher with Indian players. However, the aim of most teams is to win PSL. As a PSL, team owner I will certainly go with Tahir instead of Ashwin in my team. If viewership is everything then the likes of Afridi should play forever. There is no single cricketer in Pakistan who can still match his stardom.
 
From a pure cricketing POV.

Kohli, Dhoni, Yuvraj, Raina, Rohit, Ashwin and Gambhir would definitely get in.

Gambhir is a controversial pick, but he would make it on cricketing POV (otherwise he wouldn't).

The upcoming batsmen would also get picked up.
 
Kohli and Rohit on their performances. UVI and Dhoni for the nostalgia. That Kashmir spinner because Kashmir is Pakistan's and that's it.

Ashwin is a mediocre LOI spinner, Jadeja and Raina aren't household names and won't be picked above some of the other options available.

Let's not forget that there are only five PSL teams.

Ashwin is more popular than Badree and Narine because he plays for India and is one of their best players. He will be one of the first names to get picked in a PSL draft. He is definitely an iconic cricketer now and has the reputation of a match-winner. Not every player has to be a crowd-puller, but Ashwin will certainly attract the Indian cricket fans in the UAE to the PSL.

Raina will get picked as well, he is a tremendous T20 player.

Rahane and Saha probably won't get picked, neither will Pujara, but the likes of Shami, Rohit and Dhawan will get picked. Basically the players who have been playing LOIs regularly for India and are renowned.

I would definitely pick Ashwin ahead of Tahir and so will 9/10 teams in any league.
Ashwin is at least as big a matchwinner with the ball as Tahir and on the plus side Ashwin can bat as well.
Tahir is also a great bowler, no doubt.

No, he won't. He has zero charisma, absolutely no fan-following in Pakistan and finger-spinners are never superstars in Pakistan, if they are not named Ajmal or Saqlain. Besides, like I said before, he's nota good LOI player.

Raina might get picked up but without being familiar with the squads, I'd wager each team has two-three batsmen that are better than him.

This comment has almost no truth to it. Tahir is miles better than Ashwin in LOI cricket. Every non-Indian T20 team will pick Tahir over Ashwin or any other spinner in the world, really. Tahir is almost on the level of Saqlain and Ajmal.

In case his point wasn't clear enough Ashwin isn't all that great in T20s. In fact in the last IPL his captain Dhoni used him for max 1-2 overs in an innings every game.

Ashwin doesn't have alot of following in Pakistan and Pakistanis do not rate him a great deal especially after those two sixes. If PSL was a test competition then Ashwin's selection would have some merit in it.

PSL is all about attracting big names at this point, and Indian players have great brand value because they have the biggest fan following. Besides, there are more Indians in the UAE than Pakistanis, and picking Indian players will surely help increase the attendance somewhat. Certainly, some of the Indian cricket lovers in the UAE will turn up to see their players play.

There is no way any popular Indian player is going to go unsold in a PSL draft.

He is better than the likes of Elliot, Gayle (he is finished), Malan, Delport, Sangakkara (in T20s) etc., He comfortably makes every single XI, he is one one of the best T20 players around. Raina will play every single match for every single franchise.

Again, Ashwin has no fan-following in Pakistan but he is a big draw. Having players like him makes the PSL a more prestigious competition and given how many Indians are there in the UAE, having Indian players will help the PSL attract bigger crowds. The IPL had massive crowds in the UAE, something the PSL can only dream of.

Obviously not all of them would turn up for the Indian players in the PSL, but they will easily attract more supporters than players from countries like England, Australia, SA etc.

He is better than Yasir and has the potential to be an ATG bowler/all-rounder. That is enough to go with now, I think.

That is because we are deluded that our pace attack is better than theirs, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar is a fine T20 bowler, especially when he swings the ball
 
India wipes the floor with Pakistan in every format, and the IPL wipes the floor with the PSL in every single aspect as well, but yet somehow, the Indian players will find it difficult to get picked in the PSL.
 
Rohit Sharma
KL Rahul
Virat Kohli
Suresh Raina
Yuvraj Singh

Ashwin
Ravindra Jadeja
Bhuvaneshwar Kumar
Yuzvendra Chahal

They would all breeze into any PSL team. India are a T20 powerhouse

Malan, Delport, Wright, Duckett, Perera, Franklin, Jordan, Patel, Nathan McCullum, Elliot, Chris Green, Pikachu, Raichu, Doraemon and Nasir Khan Jan will keep them out because they are all superior T20 players and more popular as well.

Malan is a very good cricketer, has all the shots in the book for an opener, just has the standard English phobia of Asian tracks but his application this year was far superior to last year with a bit of exposure on these pitches. He is a gun opener
 
If India is so much superior in T20s why do they have same number of trophies as us.


Game over :salute

Then you agree India is a superior team in ODIs using the number of trophies logic. :harby

India - 2 WC, 2 CT, 1 B&H
Pak - 1 WC

or this time W/L will come into play?

But to answer in a non-troll mode (although you are just engaging in anti-India trolling) since the talk is of current times number of trophies do not come into play. Pakistan was a very fine T20 team in the late noughties with Afridi, Gul, Ajmal etc who are not there now.

In the last 2 years Pakistan has a W/L record of 0.9 in T20Is excluding minnows while India has 2.0. Also Pakistan had first round exits in both of the multi team T20 events last year - the Asia Cup and the WorldT20. India won one (unbeaten) and went to the semis of the other. Currently India is the no 2 team in the rankings while Pakistan is no 6.

India's highest ranked T20I batsman - Kohli (No 1). Pakistan's - Umar Akmal (No 20)
India's highest ranked T20I batsman - Bumrah (No 2). Pakistan's - Imad Wasim (No 4)

Then I guess we don't rate the Pakistan team after 11-0 or 12-0 or whatever the WC record is. :harby

Then you agree India is a superior team in ODIs using the number of trophies logic. :harby

India - 2 WC, 2 CT, 1 B&H
Pak - 1 WC

or this time W/L will come into play?

But to answer in a non-troll mode (although you are just engaging in anti-India trolling) since the talk is of current times number of trophies do not come into play. Pakistan was a very fine T20 team in the late noughties with Afridi, Gul, Ajmal etc who are not there now.

In the last 2 years Pakistan has a W/L record of 0.9 in T20Is excluding minnows while India has 2.0. Also Pakistan had first round exits in both of the multi team T20 events last year - the Asia Cup and the WorldT20. India won one (unbeaten) and went to the semis of the other. Currently India is the no 2 team in the rankings while Pakistan is no 6.

India's highest ranked T20I batsman - Kohli (No 1). Pakistan's - Umar Akmal (No 20)
India's highest ranked T20I batsman - Bumrah (No 2). Pakistan's - Imad Wasim (No 4)

Your argument wasn't bad, but then you started using rankings.:kakmal
Stop with the stats too. Cricket is played in a ground, not a spreadsheet.
 
Pakistanis don't rate Ashwin after he got hit for those two sixes.

Sums up the problem with a massive number of Pakistani fans. You give them a six or two and they'll worship you for next 2 and a half decades.

So does the world outside spreadsheets say that Pakistan is a better t20 team than India?

What happens in the ground influences the spreadsheets. If Pakistan knew that maybe they'd win more.

India T20 WC wins: 1


Pakistan T20 WC wins: 1


For all your chest beating you still have same number of WC wins.


Wow wow wow
