Which Indian players would make it into PSL this year?

[Rajdeep]

There is a thread about how many Pakistani players would get into IPL sides. It would be good to know the other way around.

If Indian players were allowed in PSL, how many would get selected?

Kohli, Rohit, Bumrah, Kuldeep?

Anyone else you think missing?

 

[aloo paratha]

Many of them. More batsmen though since our local batsmen aren't that great.

 

[Local.Dada]

Rahul,Samson,Mayank,MSD (just for the brand value) and still better than Sarfaraz etc , Jadeja (will improve PSL fielding standards by a few notches),Shami, Saini,Chahar brothers (can bat and field better than a lot of local Pakistani batsmen),DK,Gill,Shaw, Bhuvi,Chahal,Kuldeep,Bishnoi,Paddikal,Jaiswaland many many many more.

Question is Can PSL afford them?

Forget those guys I am sure someone like Yusuf Pathan or Uthappa will be easily picked. I mean if delfort,Ronchi and Luke Wright can make it why not those 2 guys? They will do well on the slow low PSL pitches and bring in more Indian eyeballs to the league.

no one knows the chahar brothers in Pakistan,

 

[Local.Dada]

no one knows the chahar brothers in Pakistan,

99% of cricket fans don’t know who Delport or Luke Wright or Chigumbura are either.

I am ready to wage a bet Chahar brothers have a bigger shot of being recognized than those names who are elite in PSL

 

[Thunderbolt14]

From batsmen Kohli, Dhoni, Rohit, KLR. From the bowlers only Bumrah and Shami. From all rounders Hardik Pandya.

 

[BreadPakoda]

Many. My top picks would be:

Kohli
Rohit
Bumrah
Rahul
Pandya

There will be at least 10 others.

 

[Rana]

Kohli
Sharma
Bumrah
Chahal
Pandya
KL Rahul
Shami


Maybe Samson

 

[JaDed]

From batsmen Kohli, Dhoni, Rohit, KLR. From the bowlers only Bumrah and Shami. From all rounders Hardik Pandya.

You think Chahal wouldn't make it to bowling in T20?

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Kohli
Sharma
Bumrah
Chahal
Pandya
KL Rahul
Shami


Maybe Samson

Chahal wouldn’t make it. Too many local spinners.

 

[BreadPakoda]

Chahar has a long road ahead. He needs to prove himself before getting selected as a foreign player in any league.

 

[Rana]

Chahal wouldn’t make it. Too many local spinners.

He is a Chawal but I’d take him any day over Tahir, Fawad, Narine or Adil Rashid

 

[Mamoon]

The level of delusion is laughable.

India is miles ahead of Pakistan and the best team in the world along with Australia and England, and people think only 5-6 Indians would make it.

What is PSL? Nothing but a cheap imitation of IPL.

PSL exists only because of the success of IPL.

Franchises will rub their noses in the dirt to get their hands on any Indian player that they can get. Forget their quality - the eyeballs that they will attract from India is more than enough for franchises to buy any available Indian.

The level of arrogance among the fans of a small, mediocre cricket team like Pakistan is hysterical.

We truly deserve the title of the most delusional fans in the world.

 

[Ellipsism]

If we can get Yuvraj across that would be a big achievement.

 

[Titan24]

Kohli, Rohit, Bumrah are the only sure short picks I think. Other than that probably Pandya along with Jadeja (Though both of them average under 16 in T20 internationals with less than one wicket per match but still are all rounders) depending upon in which category they are. Cant think of anybody else. Dhoni would have been a really good captain if he was still playing some international cricket but would be tough without his batting form. If spinner is to be considered than maybe Chahal.

 

[Titan24]

India has some pretty good young batsmen as well so you never know someone like Shaw or Gill can also get a nod (Not sure if they will get all games as only 4 overseas players are allowed in any league). PSL did give opportunities to young English batsmen like Billings (Got his first contract few years ago) and Banton.

Overall it will also depend upon which other international players are available.

You forgot to add Rahul,Iyer,Mayank,Samson as well. Rahul can keep too which automatically raises his profile by a few notches, you think Pakistan’s best 2 keeper bats Rizwan and Sarfaraz are even close to Rahul as the total package?

 

[The lone Ranger]

Only Rohit and maybe bumrah.

Players like kohli, Rahul, Samson, Iyer, dhoni, pant, Shaw, jadeja, Pandya can't compete with psl superstars like dunk, Ronchi, delfort, wright, ramdin, Samit Patel etc as the psl franchises only give preference to the above mentioned proven Psl performers!

You are spot on about samson the guy averaged 9 against the mighty Zimbabwe.

 

[tyron_woodley]

varun Aaron
saini

[jeeteshssaxena]

This.
If Yuvi makes himself available even he will get picked

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Dhoni's name will be more than enough ,any psl franchise will love to have him.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Mumbai club level bowler like Pravin Tambe ended up with the best economy rate in CPL. I can see Indian spinners like Ashwin, Chahal, Kuldeep walking into most franchises worldwide, including PSL, which has pretty avg local spinners/leggies

I am disappointed to see such a post from a sensible poster like you.

The entire first XI of India would get picked immediately and also young players like Samson, Gill, Rana, Shaw etc.

Retired international players like Dhoni, Yuvraj, Harbhajan and even the likes of Uthappa will not struggle to find suitors.

Dhoni’s brand is worth more than entire PSL. Not in a million years would any PSL franchise pass up the opportunity of having Dhoni in their side and attract the attention of billions of people.

Even if Dhoni cannot score a single run, his stature alone is more than enough. In fact, it can be argued that playing in a cheap imitation of IPL would actually be beneath his status.

People are seriously underestimating the value Indian players will bring to PSL especially outside the pitch.

It will immediately attract viewership from a market of billions of people and it will also increase the profile of PSL among Pakistani fans as well.

If Indian players are available, the washed up and fringe players from England, Australia, South Africa who are PSL regulars will not get picked.

Do you think Karachi Kings would not happily kick Chadwick Walton out to replace him with Dhoni?

Cameron Delport at the moment might be a better batsman than a washed up, retired Yuvraj Singh.

However, the washed up Yuvraj will bring far more revenue to PSL because he is going to bring viewership of billions of people with him.

Karachi Kings owner will not think twice over replacing Delport with Yuvraj even if the former might score more runs.

And this is just one example.

Who would in their right mind go for Indian players over these legends?

Too many of em. The question is.... Can the PSL franchises afford them ?

Managing and paying Walton, Ronchi,
Salt etc is different from paying Rohit, Kohli, Bumrah and Rahul.

But yes.... Hypothetically there are atleast 15 players who can walk eyes closed into the PSL playing 11s.

For that he must be actively involved in cricket forget IPL....we know how MI treated him .....PSL don't have plenty of cash to waste on him.....YUVI DHONI of 2010s and 2015s are different than now...Dhoni infact would be a bigger attraction but can't afford another specialist captain after Sarfraz

Some of you pakistanis have no shame! You should remember that the same Indian bowlers whom you're trying so hard to degrade now, have thrashed both your senior and under19 team in the last few meetings like no tomorrow.

Got humiliated by the indians recently in each and every tournament whether it be Asia Cup, world cup, t20WC , u19WC lol.
Both your senior and youngsta beauties were taken to the cleaners and the sad part is that your pathetic bowlers couldn't buy a wicket twice in the AsiaCup and the batsmen went into hiding whenever you met the Indian bowlers almost everytime recently which makes you even worse than Street cricketers!

 

[cricketjoshila]

No one.

The Dilbar Hussain's and Raufs will take out the wickets of Kohli Rohit Rahul etc in a Jiffy.

While Delport Vince Kamran Ronchi and co will beat the bowling of Bumrah Shami Kuldeep Chahal etc with half a bat.

I am disappointed to see such a post from a sensible poster like you.

Dhoni’s brand is worth more than entire PSL. Not in a million years would any PSL franchise pass up the opportunity of having Dhoni in their side and attract the attention of billions of people.

Even if Dhoni cannot score a single run, his stature alone is more than enough. In fact, it can be argued that playing in a cheap imitation of IPL would actually be beneath his status.

People are seriously underestimating the value Indian players will bring to PSL especially outside the pitch.

It will immediately attract viewership from a market of billions of people and it will also increase the profile of PSL among Pakistani fans as well.

If Indian players are available, the washed up and fringe players from England, Australia, South Africa who are PSL regulars will not get picked.

Do you think Karachi Kings would not happily kick Chadwick Walton out to replace him with Dhoni?

I am not underrating Indian players. Their batting talent is top notch and there is no doubt about it but, T20 leagues have to think about few commercial aspects as well. As I mentioned in my follow up post it will all depend upon which other overseas players are available. Also not to forget leagues try to bring in some known players as well which can attract crowds (There is a reason Afridi and Gayle are still picked in T20 leagues). If there is no other decent overseas player available, young Indian batsmen can really bring in quality cricket but, Samson, Gill, Shaw etc dont have enough star power currently at international level to bring in people. 11-12 Indian players would mean almost two in each franchise which leaves roam for 2 other players.

Yes Indian players playing together with Pakistani players will be a big commercial success but still a decent balance would be required to package the product better rather than totally depending upon that one aspect.

Regarding Dhoni, he was a legendary in LOIs and as a captain any franchise would love to have him but currently he is not playing any form of cricket except IPL so that is why I said it would be tough call from current batting form perspective. However, there is no doubt he will be a commercial blockbuster.

Again these are all hypothetical scenarios which are not anywhere close to reality. I would assume if Indian players are available then some of the missing stars of other countries will also be available. Even if we assume the same overseas players we had last year, still 11-12 Indian players would be overdoing in my opinion as explained at the start. Rana, Uthappa etc I think that would be too much. Regarding Shaw, Gill I have already mentioned they can be good buys. At the same time I agree that someone like Dhoni can he huge crowd puller and even Yuvraj (If available; he isnt even playing IPL).

Definitely not entire Indian team but even I mentioned 6-8 names who can be good picks. Gill, Shaw are not regular in the Indian XI but, would be much better picks than Jhadav, Raydu, Shsnkar.

 

[MMHS]

Few days back, I definitely read that at least four PAK players - Babar, Wahab, Shadab & Imad will make IPL while Amir has lost his mojo to "Passionate" fans, other wise it would have been five......., at least. Now I read only three Indians have a confirmed shot in PSL - that's the height of delusion Pakistan fans has reached these days, congrats. Guys, Dinesh Ramdhin batted at four in PSL ...... and our Anamul was chartered to play PSL Final - wake up.

Coming to the topic, I think the answer of the question is not straight forward. First thing is, to be honest, IND isn't that good in T20 - at least no where near what they are in the longer formats, and the gap between Indian & PAK players overall is narrowest in T20. Besides, what BCCI is doing is they are monopolizing the market of 1.4 billion, by blocking Indian players in other leagues through obnoxiously high payment that keeps Indian players honest (about forcing their way to other leagues) - that's the only explanation of some of the wages of IPL ... starting from Unadkot.

There are 6 teams and I believe the quota for non Pakistani players is 7 - that's 42 spots in total available.
I consider two scenarios here - this is what I see -

First one - PSL is the most lucrative League, with almost a bottomless pocket and a dedicated window - yes, I don't see more than few Indians, without considering the market pull that Indian players will draw from Indian cricket market. Simple reason is that there are too many to choose from. For 42 spots, at least 75 players will be in contention - around 14-15 from ENG, 8-9 from SAF, 10-12 from AUS & India each, 5-6 each from WIN & NZ, may be another 10-12 from BD/SRL/AFG/IRL/ZIM... - from that pool, I don't think more than 6, max 7 Indian players making the 42 men cut - Kohli, Sharma, Bumrah, MS & may be KL, Pandeya.... in a draft system, often players are picked based on availability, squad combination and budget, therefore I don't see more than 8-9 players from any nation - may be Poms will have highest number of representatives around 10-12.

Second scenario is a hypothetical context where suddenly, only every Indian player is available and they are interested to join within the current payment framework of PSL ...... At lease 1/3rd (14) of the 42 will be Indian, if not half - guys, once again: "Dinesh Ramdhin batted at four in PSL ...... and our Anamul was chartered to play PSL Final - wake up". These are the players I believe will be hired by PSL - that's not considering the commercial aspect

8 batsmen: Kohli, Sharma, Dhawan, Agarwal, KL, Shaw, Pandey (Manish), Iyer
3 WKs: MSD, Samson, Pant
2 all-rounders: Pandeya, Jadeja
2 pacers: Bumrah, Shami
3 spinners: Ashwin, Chahal, Yadav.

That's 18 and considering the state of PAK's spin & batting resources, there are outside chances of fringe players like Sundar (Washington), Axer Patel, Kedar, Rahne, Nitish Rana, Gil, Ryudu...

Only area, only, only area that Indians will struggle is to make PSL is in pace bowling - I see only two picked, may be Saini as well. On contrary, take out the foreign Cap, just for Indians - how many PAK batsmen, WK & Spinners will make it to their own league over Indians ...... we'll be able to count in fingers.

That's the harsh reality of PAK cricket these days, which was genuinely world's best T20 side just about not even 10 years back.

 

[Titan24]

Dhoni's name will be more than enough ,any psl franchise will love to have him.

Agreed. My point was only regarding him currently not playing any other cricket making but, still If I would have been an owner he would have been my first pick (Would be tough between him and Kohli) for his captaincy alone.

 

[silentkiller187]

99% of cricket fans don’t know who Delport or Luke Wright or Chigumbura are either.

I am ready to wage a bet Chahar brothers have a bigger shot of being recognized than those names who are elite in PSL

I didn't know there was two chahars so do you want to pay up on that bet?

Is waqt IPL fans ki neendain uri hui hain.

Your fans have had a lot of answering to do since Chahar bowled that first ball to Sharma at 130kmh

Pata nahi aapki kitni needain urr gayi when Abbas was bowling 120 KPH thunderbolts to Labuschagnes and Crawleys.

Few days back, I definitely read that at least four PAK players - Babar, Wahab, Shadab & Imad will make IPL while Amir has lost his mojo to "Passionate" fans, other wise it would have been five......., at least. Now I read only three Indians have a confirmed shot in PSL - that's the height of delusion Pakistan fans has reached these days, congrats. Guys, Dinesh Ramdhin batted at four in PSL ...... and our Anamul was chartered to play PSL Final - wake up.

Coming to the topic, I think the answer of the question is not straight forward. First thing is, to be honest, IND isn't that good in T20 - at least no where near what they are in the longer formats, and the gap between Indian & PAK players overall is narrowest in T20. Besides, what BCCI is doing is they are monopolizing the market of 1.4 billion, by blocking Indian players in other leagues through obnoxiously high payment that keeps Indian players honest (about forcing their way to other leagues) - that's the only explanation of some of the wages of IPL ... starting from Unadkot.

There are 6 teams and I believe the quota for non Pakistani players is 7 - that's 42 spots in total available.
I consider two scenarios here - this is what I see -

First one - PSL is the most lucrative League, with almost a bottomless pocket and a dedicated window - yes, I don't see more than few Indians, without considering the market pull that Indian players will draw from Indian cricket market. Simple reason is that there are too many to choose from. For 42 spots, at least 75 players will be in contention - around 14-15 from ENG, 8-9 from SAF, 10-12 from AUS & India each, 5-6 each from WIN & NZ, may be another 10-12 from BD/SRL/AFG/IRL/ZIM... - from that pool, I don't think more than 6, max 7 Indian players making the 42 men cut - Kohli, Sharma, Bumrah, MS & may be KL, Pandeya.... in a draft system, often players are picked based on availability, squad combination and budget, therefore I don't see more than 8-9 players from any nation - may be Poms will have highest number of representatives around 10-12.

Second scenario is a hypothetical context where suddenly, only every Indian player is available and they are interested to join within the current payment framework of PSL ...... At lease 1/3rd (14) of the 42 will be Indian, if not half - guys, once again: "Dinesh Ramdhin batted at four in PSL ...... and our Anamul was chartered to play PSL Final - wake up". These are the players I believe will be hired by PSL - that's not considering the commercial aspect

8 batsmen: Kohli, Sharma, Dhawan, Agarwal, KL, Shaw, Pandey (Manish), Iyer
3 WKs: MSD, Samson, Pant
2 all-rounders: Pandeya, Jadeja
2 pacers: Bumrah, Shami
3 spinners: Ashwin, Chahal, Yadav.

That's 18 and considering the state of PAK's spin & batting resources, there are outside chances of fringe players like Sundar (Washington), Axer Patel, Kedar, Rahne, Nitish Rana, Gil, Ryudu...

Only area, only, only area that Indians will struggle is to make PSL is in pace bowling - I see only two picked, may be Saini as well. On contrary, take out the foreign Cap, just for Indians - how many PAK batsmen, WK & Spinners will make it to their own league over Indians ...... we'll be able to count in fingers.

That's the harsh reality of PAK cricket these days, which was genuinely world's best T20 side just about not even 10 years back.

The fact of the matter is even when pakistan was a genuine great number one t20 team, they didnt have a stand out superstar as such, they played as a team, the crucial thing here is you can throw all the names together but if they dont gel then it doesnt make them any better then a team from psl bpl bbl etc. look at RCB star studded line up probably one of the biggest failures in club t20 history, should have won multiple ipl with gayle devilliers kohli etc but its not as simple as that

I am not sure even if Chahar or Unadkut’s family member think about them as much as you do

First I was like mad what is this guy saying, then it got annoying, then it was funny as you kept parroting the same thing, then it was sad as posters kept retorting and you kept repeating the same thing as you had nothing much else going for you,

now it is getting irritating again, it’s a total cycle but you are like one of those battery operated toys, if they have a lose connection they won’t stop and drive you nuts )

 

[Rana]

Kohli
Sharma
Bumrah
Chahal
Pandya
KL Rahul
Shami


Maybe Samson

Oh Bhai logo, I sincerely posted in this thread. Some posters acted like I have committed blasphemy for not mentioning all Indian cricketers in IPL on my list.

It seems Abbas is ur favourite....... Yes yes his speeds go with in tandem with the Chahars Undakats ......rajpoots....Mavis....Avesh.....
Problem is no one claiming Abbas is fast.....and Bumrah Sami are poor.....

Problem is there is a problem in guts....u guys don't have it sadly to accept that ur other resources baring Bumrah Sami is not even at club level......

As Mamoon famously says first step to solve a problem is to accept that u have a problem.....have some guts instead of creating useless threads just to counter for the sake of countering

IPL is entertainment. I am not forming any opinions based on IPL performances. Enjoy it for what it is but yes it is fun to see the best players in the world bar some Pakistan players unfortunately due to political circumstances.

No one is asking Tewatiya who played a magical knock to be included in the Indian side. Can you imagine what would have happened if a Pakistani young fringe player had played such a knock? There would be talks about making him test captain.

Hope you see the difference

How can one tolerate such a lame bowling display I understand bro ......it's really painfull......how one can tolerate Russel has compensate 4 Nagarkoti's overs......how can one tolerate that poor Kuldeep being sidelined for a 30 year old........

Difference is we won't dish out lollipop sand oreos to Tewatias .....Pandeys....
There is a reason Gayle and AB could buy a run...

I hope u now accept the difference

 

[Pakhs]

In theory almost all can make it but due to 4 foreign player rule only the top 8-10 Indian players will make it.

Lol looks like you are very emotionally invested in this and this means a lot to you , So as a considerate human being, I will give this . Here you go PSL > IPL, The rest who have fully functioning brains can think for themselves and form their own opinion.
