Squad announced: Squad: Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Tilak Varma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya (VC), Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammad Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami, Prasidh Krishna, Sanju Samson (backup). Playing 11: Rohit - Gill - Kohli - Iyer - KL - Hardik - Jadeja - Shardul/Axar - Siraj - Bumrah - Shami/Kuldeep. Prasidh - Sky - Ishan - Tilak Might not even make it to the initial 11. Shardul/Axar & Shami/Kuldeep can be selected given the playing conditions. Need to bat 3 all rounders at all cost, As SL pitches will be sluggish and slow. Low scoring matches, Need to bat till 8-9.

Yes, Bots will be there. But best bet would be target higher Tier tickets, Base price tickets of 1k Would be the ones targeted by most of the bots and scalpers. 3k tickets would be the sweet spot and would be better to resale.

On the other hand, IIRC today the squad will be announced for the Asia Cup. If we win the Asia cup only then there would be hype for the upcoming WC & India would become certain favourites. SL are the dark horses for me this time around, both for the WC & Asia Cup. Pakistan are an average ODI side. Would be surprised if this is not the initial squad for the Asia Cup: Rohit, Gill, Virat, S.Iyer, K.L, Hardik, Jadeja, Shami, Bumrah, Siraj, Chahal. Bench: Shardul, Kuldeep, Ishan & Sky.

Same Plans . I remember 2011 SF Ind Vs Pak Mohali tickets pricing, 1000 Ticket was available for 10-12k. Now planning to buy 5 tickets of 3000 each and then selling them for 10k each .

White Ball Captain: Hardik Pandya Red Ball Captain: Ajinkya Rahane For the next 2-3 Years these 2 should be made the captain of respective formats. Why persist with Rohit when he is not able to perform since long time, Look at Babar-Williamson-Cummins they all perform when the team needs their captain to step up. Looking at our star players (Who are just busy making money) they just succumb to the pressure in big matches. On the other hand look at smith-labushane they are real star players. Gill - Ishan should be promoted to open in both T20 & ODI.

Relax boys pitch seems to be supporting the batsmen, Only new ball is causing some trouble. Need to keep them under 475-500 & bat well to reach a similar score. It will all come down to 2nd innings & Leaving out Ashwin is a big gamble (till now which has not paid off).

Just sharing the entire video of the fight. Worth the watch https://youtu.be/8gMt9QYX8aI

Yes I figured it out when the match started

How did you get the option to watch in 4k ? I could only see HD or Full HD (Jio cinema app on TV) which was worse than star sports HD on tata sky.

Yes, Really looking forward to this season & How teams use the impact player strategy. Top 4 this year for me: LSG-MI-RCB-PBKS/SRH. I have a feeling that RCB will lift the trophy this year

No way we were going to win the WC with this squad. Oldies need to be chucked just like it happened in 2007. Sanju - Shubman - Iyer need to brought in. Also need to make Hardik T20 captain. Rohit can remain ODI captain. Bowling is the root problem, Bhuvi is just an average bowler. Deepak Chahar/Shardul Are much better than him.

Have a feeling that we are losing this one..!! Have played average cricket so far except Kohli-SKY-Arshdeep no one has stepped up. if we win tonight Pakistan will humiliate us in the finals, most likely a repeat of CT 2017 final. Rohit - KL are walking wickets in pressure games.

Its better to play Pant as an opener at least he would try to score before getting out unlike this clown KL. Team should focus on saving NRR, Win is 5% chance now.

Even after getting both Babar & Rizwan for total of 4 runs they still got to 159 what a shame for us. Should have restricted them to under 140-145. Will take some batting to chase this target as the pitch is assisting pace bowling which is Pakistans strength. Not counting on either of our openers its our middle order who has to score today.

We will get a game but it will be a curtailed one, hopefully 10-12 over game.
