Anyone, who has seen the match against Afghanistan will be fuming seeing the struggles of KL Rahul/Vijay Shankar/Dhoni and Jadhav. It is not about the strike rate, but the way they seemed to play these bowlers, as if the pitch was a final day Bangalore square turner on which Gavaskar scored legendary knock. Jadhav playing a maiden in the 47th over is criminal, what the hell was he thinking and this fellow during that innings changed gloves and bats thrice and had at least couple of times drinks, what was that all about? He huffs and puffs when he runs between the wickets and the same is the case with his fielding.
Dhoni has been a great captain and level headed guy but he is well past it now, his batting and his reflexes are on the wane, and he has to step up in the coming matches, and need to take these matches like WC matches instead of his CSK matches, where he can take the game deep unnecessarily and come out as a hero in the last over.
Vijay Shankar, I really don't know how this guy is picked, seems very average player.
KL Rahul is just eking his way into the team and playing for himself and getting out to stupid shots after building pressure on himself with straight bat shots to fielders/ leaving the balls alone, instead of placing them for quick singles and doing strike rotation.
