Its really hard to pick 16 for the T20 WC, All the batsmen are doing really well. Also good to see shami darting in Yorkers. Dhawan back in form just before international cricket will resume.

Rohit-Dhawan-Rahul-Kohli-Iyer probably the best top 5 in T20 & ODI's. 

 

Pant is just not doing justice to his selection even in his IPL team, Dropping catches-missing run out chances & Out of Runs. Don't see him making a comeback into the national side for another year. He needs to work on his fitness, Cant really be representing your country with that kind of fitness.

What match were you watching?
Pant took an absolutely stunner and the run out miss was cos of bad throw by dhawan and not Pant's fault. Stop blaming him every time some sh*t happens in field. Even Stoinis dropped an easy one. He should definitely drop some weight but his performances so far has been good.

I am not just talking about this match, Overall this IPL since I mentioned T20 WC team so obviously It didn't really was about his performance of todays match. Just go back and watch all the matches he played & compare him with KL, Then you will probably think twice before defending him :)

Why will we compare him with KL?
He is a specialist wicket keeper batsman who bats in the middle and KL is a specialist opening batsman doing part time wicket keeping job. It's like comparing Gilchrist with David cos for sometime dravid used to keep for India. There is no comparison. He is still doing a much better job for his franchise than the overhyped Samson, Ishan Kishan etc.

I think KL should be played as WK for T20 matches, he is keeping for 14 matches here, T20 WC won't have that many matches, he brings a good balance to the team in the dual role. Dhawan has come in form, but i don't think he will pick himself in next year WC, it's still a year away, but it's good he is returning to shape, and i like the top 4 you put in there, Mayank has been  making a good case for himself as well, probably time to get him in ODI team atleast.

 

I would play this team.

 

1. Rahul

2. Sharma

3. Mayank/Shreyas

4. Kohli

5. Hardik

6. Pant

7. Jadeja/Krunal

8. Shami

9. Saini

10. Chahal

11. Bumrah

4. Kohli

5. Shreyas

6. Hardik

7. Jadeja

8. Shami

Y do u have Khaleel man. No way he'll make it to the team. 

Even krunal will not be part of squad, if picked now. 

 

Washinton Sundar and Manish Pandey are certainity. Mayank can be back up, kohli wont play no 4. 

Kohli at 3 and Manish at 5 followed by Hardik. 

Jadeja / Sundar at no 7

IMO Dhawan should play all ICC tournaments till he retires, He's in a different zone when it comes to ICC tournaments. 

 

Rohit-Dhawan-KL-Kohli-Iyer-Jaddu-Hardik-Chahal-Shami-Bumrah-Saini. (Manish-Mayank-Pant-Sundar-D.Chahar). This I feel is the best available side given their current IPL form, Cant say about the WC but surely for Aus Tour this team should be picked. The WC team will be picked after the next IPL around June-July.  

Also I have read somewhere Pandya won't be bowling for some time due to his back.

Lets not predict the world cup team now. Long way to go and another IPL before that which can change fortunes for many players..
Also, if dhawan stays in form by then no way he can be dropped. The man owns ICC tournaments like nothing else.

I hope RCB wins today. Don't like KKR and wish KXIP to replace them in top 4.

Rare scenario where other teams want RCB to win now to bring their teams up :P  Anyways would be best to win today and get close to play offs, we should be definitely looking to be in 1st or 2nd for that extra change in finals..

Feels good deosn't it :P:lol: 

Can watch others matches without worrying how their result affects us :lol:

 

All hail Mike Hesson 

 

We can easily end up 2nd atleast.
3 wins out of next 5 will take us there.
