***Official*** Match #9- India vs Afghanistan, October 11th, Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi

Hmm, I wonder if this Thakur fellow might be punished?
Looks like the team management isn't willing to punish him but Afghan batters will most likely punish him.
Coach and Captain is punishing spectators by picking useless Thakur!

If Afghanistan 🇦🇫 bat sensible even 250 can challenge India today with the prince still out
Not on this flat pitch and small boundaries. They would need runs in excess of 300 to challenge this batting line up and may still end up losing.

Half the time you don't need your no.8 to bat and the other half, guy like Thakur barely scores any runs barring the odd innings. So he is only there to contribute with bat ONCE in about 8 ODIs..

Ashwin > Thakur.

You are too nice! Once in 8 ODIs? In every ODI he concedes way more than he scores, so where is the value?

10 overs from Bumrah
10 overs from Siraj
upto 10 overs from Pandya
why is there a need for a 4th pacer?

India don't need more than 30 overs of pace!!

If the 3 spinners are going well then they can bowl 28-30 overs instead , or else they can share 20 odd overs amongst themselves and Bumrah Siraj and Pandya can bowl the bulk of the overs! It's not like India needs more than 30 overs from their pacers. Thakur is absolutely a waste of space. I'd rather play a 6th batter than no-rounder Thakur
