What a win! It's been a long time since India lost a game due to its bowling. Super effort.

What a finish. $35 down and have to work in 4 hours though lol


I know they were probably sick of not taking the run due to Stoin's bold plan failing, but I really would have preferred Lyon to tell Zampa one will do on that second last ball. Lyon's improved out of sight with the bat and Zampas a bonafide 11

Lolstraya. Can't get 29 in 5 overs with 4 wickets in hand haha

In seriousness, most credit for the win should go to Bumrah. Those 2 end overs were superb.

What a marvellous win this is. Magnificent from Kohli, then a winning situation manufactured by Bumrah, Vijay Shankar keeping his cool under immense pressure.

Next game at Ranchi. Dhoni's home ground and should be his last international game there. Expecting a good innings to sign off for Dhoni like how Gayle did last week.

Shankar's bowling overall is still not much good. Can't be a replacement for Pandya really.

Yes, Shankar can play only when Jadhav plays and it is the kind of pitch where Jadhav can bowl a lot of overs. Still a long way to go to complete a decent 10 over spell in ODIs.

Dhawan, Rohit, Kohli, Rayudu, Dhoni, Jadhav, Hardik, Kuldeep, Chahal, Shami, Bumrah Reserves: Jadeja, Bhuvi, Dinesh Karthik

I believe the above 14 are locked for the WC. 15th spot is in contention now between Rahul, Pant and Shankar.

Karthik shouldn't be locked. What has he done in ODIs really? His ODI batting record is like Jadeja's except his strike rate is 10 lower than Jadeja's. Karthik must be the most overrated cricketer in India today, and maybe in the world too.

Also I'll play Jadeja in the XI ahead of Chahal. Number 8 is an important batting position.

Seems to a reversal of the late nineties and early noughties... atleast in ODIs... India used to put up good fights but Aus would always find a way to overcome... there used to be even a meme Australianism.

I'll not have Jadeja in the squad even. Especially if Shankar is in there. Can't stuff too many all/no-rounders.

Yes, I love Jaddu and I will play him ahead of Chahal too. But not sure if Kohli will. Also, the Kulcha combo has been very successful in ODIs. It would have been great if any of the batsmen could bowl or bowlers could bat.

Wouldn't be in favour of replacing Chahal with Jadeja. Will be delicious if India wins the WC with four #11s.

Jaddu's fielding is such a bonus. Definitely needs to be part of the squad, no doubt about that.

Yeah Jadeja is a clutch player for sure, definitely offers a counter balance to Kuldeep who would be our premier spinner in the WC.
