40th Match - Bangladesh v India

Since the game is going to played on the same venue, will India consider dropping Chahal or Kuldeep for Bhuvi?

Yeah I think they'll definitely consider it, especially since Shankar isn't playing so the sixth bowler will definitely be another spinner, and the opposition batsmen will be more comfortable against spin in general than another swing bowler.

What they'll actually decide is anyone's guess but they'll consider it for sure.

 

[Pratters]

Hoping they drop Dhoni and Jadhav for the unprofessional performance in the last game.. let's see.

 

[Pratters]

Karthik for Dhoni, Jadeja for Jadhav please.

 

[aussie tragic]

I can't wait to hear the boos from the Indian fans when Dhoni comes out

 

[Pratters]

Boycott was dropped after scoring a slow century, what's so revolutionary about this? Drop Dhoni, thanks.

Jadhav is getting too much stick for nothing really. Hasn't got a chance to bat much this tournament. He is one player in middle order who can score 80-100 unlike Pandya or Jadeja who are good for a 40 or 20 (respectively). He is least of our problems.

 

[Raghav]

Jadeja might get in, as they will look to drop either of Chahal or Kuldeep.
I would like to see DK to be given chance in the weakened middle order. He can anchor the innings with his experience.

as someone said in the hugbox thread (was it you?), Jadhav is probably our best fit for number 4 atm but he's being wasted down at 6/7 for some reason.

 

[Raghav]

Forgot to talk about Pant, he is not ready for the English pitches, and Indians selectors are WAG. Pant is media-hyped selection

I don't think you use WAG correctly there

 

[Raghav]

I used sarcastically

 

[Howe_zat]

Despite the effect on England's world cup, I can't help but want Bangladesh to win.

 

[harsh.ag]

Mayank is in transit, not available for this game.

So, it's KL opening again. There are rumours of Bhuvi and DK being in the XI.

apparently Bhuvi is fit.

 

[nightprowler10]

Why do people keep thinking India wouldn't want Pak to make the semis? Have you seen our record in the WC against them?

 

[weldone]

Lol they dropped Mehidy for Rubel. That kind of selection policy should be punishable with one night of jail.

 

[harsh.ag]

Rubel Hossain comes in for Bangladesh. India will love that.

At least it's better thinking that than the match fixing alternative

 

[cnerd123]

Some interesting selections. Chahal keeps his spot, Kuldeep makes way for Bhuvi, and Kedar gets the axe for Karthik

Meanwhile Miraz has been dropped for Rubel, for some reason, and Mahmadullah has been dropped for Sabbir as well.

India option to bat first after. BD wanted to bat first too.
