Fingers crossed. I hope he can keep his form. This is one guy the pace brigade should be excited about. But, maybe they got burned by the Umran's of the world and thus want to see a bit more. To be fair, he posted immediately after the first match. And indian mgmt.definitely shares some blame for t...

Please rest Mayank Yadav for second leg of IPL and directly pitchfork him into T20 WC! Siraj may be saying good bye to the spot in T20WC. My biggest worry is that he may be worn out after playing all this IPL matches. Pace guy with this control that early in his career is just unbelievable. Not sure...

If u word them as “umesh, Bhopi has got nothing to give. Picking them is a waste for franchise” then it would be okay.

Bhui is not playing this match. But they also splurged on Kumar kushagra. Definitely poor allocation of resources

Raj, Umran did not have control .. even his best IPL season, his ER was 9. And kuldeep sen got injured. Mayank was also injured for one year. Very few fast bowlers stay injury free. I agree that we need a good pace bowling coach. It does not have to be a great bowler, but someone who knows the mecha...

Amazing debut from Mayank Yadav. His domestic stats albeit with small sample size is 14 avg and 6.48 ER. Hope he can stayhealthy. If he stays healthy, he will play for india soon.

We need something like this as a complete overhaul. Totally in the Holy Trinity camp here :D And, I’m convinced that we should ask our bowlers to practice hitting blindly and open with them (reverse batting order). Only something unconventional like these steps will bring any change. Rohits and Vir...

Kohli is a champion player, but the time has come for him to fully understand he needs to change his batting approach in T20s. A 20-ball 40 has much more potential to win you a game than a 50-ball 70. And since now India have so many options like Rinku Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson and Riya...

^^Can we play with this team? I know this isn’t what you meant. Line up of Kohli, Abhishek Sharma, Samson, Parag, Dube, Hooda, Karthik, Chahar, Brar, Harshit Rana, Bumrah. some of my favorites that i have been closely following: Abhishek, samson, parag, dube and Harshit Rana all make the team... so...

Rawat failed again today. And Karthik hit 20 off 8 balls with three sixers getting run out of last ball. one sixer of Starc. He is the best finisher among all WKB. Will Rajkumar nightmare come true and he would get selected for WC? I think odds are very low, but lest wait and watch. Jurel has not do...

Fantastic inning from Parag. Finally realizing his potential. Probably a best innings of this IPL by an Indian batter. Except for Khalil every bowler has played T20 internationals (kuldeep, Nortje, Mukesh and Axar). With both Warner and Pant at crease could have been a great opportunity to give him ...

Yusuf was thought of as a big T20 player. Joginder had great credentials as all rounder in domestic cricket. He had played for Indian ODI team as well. See the article below from 2007 that talks about joginder’s performance. And until the finals and last over of semis his performance in that wc was ...

Abhisekh Sharma another " 3rd class" is also shining. Jaiswal is best no doubt but for team combination and bowling options, this sort of talents are required. The Allrounder Pandya will continue leaking runs @11/12 an over in each match, whereas Umran will be criticized, Dube will be rep...

Dube is clearly doing everything to make it difficult for selectors

Three of Rinku/Dube/Jaiswal/ Gill will not be in the playing 11 as it stands today.

And very likely only two of the four may make it to WC team especially if India decided to take two keepers
