He might win ct and bcci would forget about nz whitewash and Australia humiliation

The sad part is so will a good chunk of fans. Have seen a fair few in YT (like 50%) say every winning streak eventually ends after NZ loss; and have heard fans say winning 3 series back to back in Australia wasn't an achievable goal and 3-1 is a respectable scoreline...... **** off!

Hero worship is bane of this country

When you remember that crores of Sallu fans finds a way to somehow justify vehicular homicide and no legal actions being taken.

Kohli bowled for 6 runs by a trundler in Ranji Trophy. He sure is finished!

 

[centurymaker]

10-15K home crowd had turned up exclusively to see him bat

Sooner his core group of supporters realise that he is finished particularly in red ball - the better!

One of my friend whose office is near Stadium was going to see Kohli bat. His Car was stuck in Traffic Jam for 15 mins and Kohli got out before he reached the stadium

One of my friend whose office is near Stadium was going to see Kohli bat. His Car was stuck in Traffic Jam for 15 mins and Kohli got out before he reached the stadium

same thing happened to me when sehwag hit 300 in chennai. not office but traffic. out before i got there and then i got a migraine watching dravid bat

was going to see his 400. out before i got there

That happened in that WC match against Windies. We were going to watch Sachin's 100th 100. We started batting as we got into the stadium and by the time we got the elevator and went to our seats, he was out to Ravi Rampaul fending a bouncer.

Look at all the geigh (used in the decidedly ironic/boomerish way of the 90s) coverage of Kohli and Sharma in the press. Jfc.

Seems like Kohli is turning into next Shahid Afridi with such cameos.

I read about some 15 year-old chutiya writing a letter to Sharma asking him to ignore the haters. Someone neuter the prick posthaste..

Really hope Bumrah sits out of IPL. So does every prospect for England test series after the IPL.

Harsh Dubey's star on the rise, with a guiding hand from R Ashwin

In his first full Ranji Trophy season, the 22-year-old from Vidarbha has strut his stuff with ball and bat. Now he's ready to take on Tamil Nadu in the quarter-finals, with friends in the opposition camp

Love these stories.

Yes

So, for the rest of the year, our schedule reads -

Tour of England - 5 Tests - June and July
Tour of Bangladesh - 3 ODIs, 3 T20Is - Aug
Asia Cup in UAE - however many T20Is (technically home as hosted by BCCI) - Sep
Home Vs Windies - 2 Tests - Oct
Tour of Australia - 3 ODIs, 5 T20Is - Nov
Home Vs RSA - 2 Tests, 3 ODIs, 5 T20Is - Dec

Then early next year,

Home Vs NZ - 3 ODIs, 5 T20Is - Jan
T20 WC (India and SL hosting) - Feb-Mar

This is the ideal time, esp. the tour of Bangladesh to try our ODI side without the stalwarts - Virat, Rohit, Hardik, Jaddu, Shami, Bumrah, and maybe even Kuldeep.

I would wanna see -

Jaiswal
Gill (c)
Tilak / Sai Suds
Shreyas (vc)
Axar
Rahul (wk)
NKR
Washy
Harshit
Varun
Arshdeep

 

[honestbharani]

Karun Nair can bowl decent offies tbh.. But project Bumrah will go on. The guys that matter see something in him. Remember Kumble, Sachin are all in the MI set up and rave about him.

good call.

 

[honestbharani]

Kinda scared that 6/7 years later and how much of our ODI side still looks the same -

I think the make up of the squad is pretty much set. I think India want to open with Rohit and Rahul, but they still want to give chances to Dhawan. I expect all 3 to make the WT20 squad. Kohli will bat 3 and Shreyas will bat 4. Pant is slotted at 5 for now, but like you said, I won't be surprised if DK steps in. Also there is the off chance that they just give the gloves to Rahul and bat Pandey at 5. But at this time I think one of Pant or DK will play. If DK makes it, he will bat 6. If it is Pant, he will bat 5. I expect Jadeja to fill in the other slot. Then Hardik at 7, Sundar at 8, Bhuvi at 9. One of the wristies at 10 and Bumrah at 11. So expect the squad to look like this :


Rahul
Rohit
Dhawan
Kohli
Shreyas
Manish
Pant / DK
Jadeja
Hardik
Sundar
Bhuvi
Kuldeep
Chahal
Bumrah
Chahar


And I think the best XI would be this:

Rohit
Rahul
Kohli
Shreyas
Pant/DK
Jadeja
Pandya
Sundar
Bhuvi
Chahal
Bumrah


Dhawan will be the extra opener. Manish the extra middle order bat. Chahar the back up seamer. Kuldeep the back up wristie
