I suggested that before 2015 World Cup and got mocked too.

You getting mocked has less to do with content and more to do with the fact that it's you posting it tbh

can't disagree
Although I was not 'mocked' really, rather my idea was 'dismissed' by everyone in CW

Kishan looks much more promising than Pant apart from his moment where he got bowled off a full toss going for a switch hit. But Shreyas looks the best out of all the youngsters.
I'd go with this lineup in eng:
Rahul
Dhawan
Kohli
Rohit
Shreyas
Kishan/Dhoni/Pant
Pandya
Bhuvi
Kuldeep
Bumrah
Chahal

Well it depends. If you did it to advocate Rahane opening then **** you.
But similarly I recall suggesting this move to accommodate Rahul and lots of people were against it. Understandable I guess because Kohli was averaging 100 in ODIs that year.

But that was before Rahul was in the picture, he debuted in 2016.

Yes at that time my suggestion was to swap Rahane and Kohli in the lineup.

We weren't criticizing Kohli. We believe our best batsman batting at 4 will stabilize the middle-order.

Sure.

Swing isn't the main reason. I genuinely think Rohit-Kohli will be as solid a 3-4 as we can get. Opening will not be our problem.

Unless they run each other out - which both are quite fond of...

Don't know why he was dropped. But he is not very old really to be shunted away (unlike Yuvraj). Can solve the big problem of lower order hitter & finisher in the team. Has experience and temperament that often trumps technique in limited over games (remember his contribution in quarter and semi in 2011 world cup?). Has to be in the team.

I have a feeling Chahal will be dropped if he flops in the IPL, or at least given a very short leash. Washington Sundar might come in as the new flavour of the year since he can bat as well.
