Good player and key for CSK but I don't see how there is room for him with Yuvraq at 5, Dhoni at 6, and Kapil at 7.

Fair enough. I'd have Ganguly or Sehwag in there ahead of Raina (assuming Tendulkar and Rohit are opening).

Yeah but why would I move one of the greatest ODI batsmen ever from his spot?

just 33? Is the ODI team that much better minus him in the ranks?

I'll always remember him for being the world's straightest bowler.
He got as close to the stumps as possible, bowled with his arm almost exactly at perpendicular every ball and delivered "off spin" with no angle, no turn and no drift. Almost always landed exactly as far outside off as it started when it left his hand too. I reckon he would've been a good shout in a bowl off even though he was a part-timer.
He was a good ODI bat for quite a few years but his part time straight breaks will always be what I associate him with.

Thought this guy retired years ago. He was the chubby kid that came along the same time as Mohammad Kaif right?
edit: no wait that was Yuvraj. Raina came later.

Haha the post says turning 1s into 2s but that should've been a dot.
They started running after it hit the stumps and still got two.

They are looking at Pandya being the replacement, really. Just gotta hope it works out.

This was all Kohli but still one of Raina's best knocks imo

I remember that game. The bowling was too gash for me to consider it one of his best knocks tbh. Like even on paper it looks awful but it was truly terrible.Full Scorecard of Sri Lanka vs India 11th Match 2011/12 - Score Report | ESPNcricinfo.com

The classic 70(60) against a decent ODI attack after coming in in a 50/50 situation was more what I remember him for (other than his right arm straight bowling of course) than that sort of disdainful dominance.

Kaif came with Yuvraj. Not the other way round

Ganguly is a poor fit at 6. He plays in the top 3 or not at all. Sehwag failed in the middle order but probably might have worked out if he was given more chances there.
Rohit, Tendulkar, Kohli, Yuvi, Dhoni, Raina/Sehwag, Kapil is clearly the top 7 for the India ODI team. Ganguly was one of my favourite ODI players but very very unfortunate to miss out on this strong side. Jadeja, Bumrah, Shami and Zaheer make up rest of the team.

What does this mean?Kaif came with Yuvraj. Not the other way round

Yuvraj is a ATG for India while Kaif is one of the 1000s. Was just saying in jest that it is Kaif who came with Yuvraj and not the other way. Just like how we don't say, Tendulkar played during Vinod Kambli's times.

Yeah Ganguly is one of the greats in ODIs, its definitely not an easy choice, coz he also adds a bowling option and a left hander to the top order. Gambhir not very far away too, while we are on that. Neither is Dhawan. Our second XI will most likely have Ganguly and Dhawan opening and that is amazing.
