As per reports bcci first offered coaching position to Ashish Nehra who rejected it. 

Although Dravid hasn't won anything of note with Indian team I still feel this is right decision as 6 months is a short time for new coach to make plans and implement them. Also team comradie in World cup was a sight to hold and I will credit that to Dravid and Rohit. Barring final we did perform well till then. Maybe Dravid will have a last hurrah with a t20 win. Who knows. 

I think Rohit might be back as Captain with Dravid staying as coach. I will any day take Rohit as Captain than selfish Pandya as Captain of Indian team. If Rohit isn't continuing I don't mind SKY or Bumrah as Captain.

Yeah, it was a good decision to show faith in Dravid. 
More importantly, it’s good for the team that Dravid accepted it. 
 

I think Rohit will play transition role and offer captaincy to Hardik or Bumrah in upcoming T20 WC.

Is this finally the sign of things to come, good to see Rauhl, Kohli and Sharma missing from T20I setup, they don't belong there anymore. Interesting team selection for SA series, let's see how the team fares.

Rinku has such raw power and amazing temperament. Reminds of MSD when he first played for india

That switch hit was great to watch. Don't think I have seen any Indian player play it so well. Reminded me of young KP.

Ya hopefully he performs in SA that will be a litmus test, if he does well, he should more or less book his place for WC.

I believe he has already shown enough to book a place in World cup as finisher. It's not like we have plenty of options as finisher. Plus SA and Windies pitches are quite different. Bcci should have played him in odis too. His stats in all formats are excellent.

Tilak, rinku, jitesh all should be drafted in as they’re proper middle/lower middle order batters and not makeshift one’s like our raja babu kl rahul & ishan. Regardless of his recent form klr gives me 0 confidence every time he comes out to bat. He looks like  our batters from 90’s who shat the bed everytime they played pak in sharjah. Shakal pe hi darr dikhta hai uska.

Too soon to say, we have only seen him play in India, I will be super happy to see him and jitesh perform in SA. Mr. Made of Glass will also be back as finished and by look of things Jaddu will be around too.

 

Jaiswal 

Rohit (c)

Tilak Verma

SKY (VC)

Jitesh Singh

Rinku Singh

Hardik Pandya

Ravindra Jadeja

Shami

Bumrah

Siraj

 

This can be a good 11

 

But team will be

 

Rohit

Gill

Kohli

KL

Doesn't matter anymore we already lost.

In news that will come as music to the ears of Royal Challengers Bangalore fans, Australia allrounder Glenn Maxwell has said that he will play in the IPL until he 'can't walk anymore.'

 

"The IPL will probably be the last tournament I ever play, as I will play the IPL until I can't walk anymore," Maxwell said on Wednesday (December 6).
