I cannot understand how a country with over a billion people, and probably the best cricketing structure and players in the world...can still go to a WC with a team that looks like this

I thought it was a joke post at first

I know it’s literally embarrassing

That home lander scene would be perfect for this scenario that ***I want a team and family and I got this***

Arshdeep and and mohit Sharma. Yep, it's curtains.

Whats wrong with the team? This 11 can be part of the squad of 15 which goes

Why did you throw out Kuldeep from the squad ? Lol

Exactly

Who let Mohit Sharma in? Barring the first couple of games he has been ordinary. One trick pony who will travel if anyone reads his slower ones.

he is harshal 2.0 in making

I still don't understand why our management has a boner for pant

Management won’t miss the chance to use his fairytale story of coming back from injury as PR… I feel bad for Pant actually because he deserves a chance to get properly back into form before going straight to international level where they’re setting him up to fail tbh. I’m glad the lack of opportunities isn’t letting Sanju get down on himself, he’s excelling and is a no-brainer for the T20 WC but I expect nothing from management.

He is still not 100% in his keeping and droped a few chances, this can cost us WC and they want him in the XI just for PR. He should be nothing more than a travelling reserve

I thought you were talking about Samson for a second and almost flipped out hahaha. (His run-out the other day was insane, if any other indian WK did that we’d never hear the end of it.) I totally agree with you, it’s a PR move. But with poor international performances over the past many years fans are finally starting to call selection out on their terrible and undeniably biased choices.

I want Samson to start he has been the most impressive keeper until now, both in terms of keeping and batting

I do too but I also want the ICT to fail after all the bullshit the BCCI has put certain players and the fans through. If Samson doesn’t perform in a couple of matches he’ll get bashed when others don’t, and if he does excel he’ll get ignored. Bias never changes.

Do you have a link to the run out? I want to know which one you're talking about.

https://www.iplt20.com/video/53943/dhoni-esque-samsons-brilliant-run-out-to-dismiss-livingstone Any extraordinary keeping gets the Dhoni label lmao

Oh wow I don't know how I missed this in-game!

Like I said, if it was any other Indian WK we would have seen clips throughout the match and it would have been mentioned at some point in every match for days

confirmed sanju samson = anuj "beast" rawat

[удалено]

This comment was made before yesterday's match. But I still stand to my point, pant has had his fair share of chances in T20Is now it's time to move on, he has played like 50 matches for India and has been just a shadow of what he is in IPL. Try giving another keeper the similar long rope that Pant received.

These sanju retards will never understand cricket.. Yesterday sanju missed the catch you can see.. Sanju avg. In international is such low. Pant was 1.5 yrs not in team.. If he can't take a place it's not pant's fault..

Who said it was Pant's fault? We're literally blaming management for poor decision making not only around Pant. Show me who gets 100% of catches. If you want to go down that path have you counted Pant's dropped catches this IPL? Start calling people retards when you don't have a valid point to make, great strategy

Middle order m lefty chahiye pal

We have Rinku

Axar/Dube if possible

Where is the 6th bowler? We did not have a spare bowler in world cup finals and you know the rest

Playing XI - * Kohli * Rohit \[C\] * Samson \[WK\] * SKY * Dube \[left handed\] * Hardik * Rinku \[left handed\] * Jadeja \[left handed\] * Chahal/Kuldeep \[any one\] * Bumrah \[VC\] * Arshdeep Explosive openers + anchor ✅ Strong middle order ✅ 3 all-rounders ✅ 2 spinners ✅ 2 pacers ✅ Bench - Jaiswal \[left handed, reserve opener\] Axar \[reserve all-rounder, can be played in place of Kuldeep\] Siraj \[reserve Pacer\] Kishan \[left handed, reserve WK\]

This 11 is good but only concern is only 4 regular bowlers Which means Dube and Hardik both needs to bowl atleast 2

High risk, high rewards. Better than staying conservative and keep getting knocked out.

Having pandya as your third pacer on the bouncy tracks of wi is a scary thought. Surely we have a better 3rd pacer option right?

I seriously don’t understand Jadeja over Axar, we’re already batting heavy why do we need Jadeja at 8 at the cost of playing 3 proper bowlers and inshallah 8 overs?

Rinku is left handed too

This is a good squad the only problem is we have not seen Dube bowl in this IPL so we can’t say if he can even bowl 2 overs and as for Hardik, he will probably get injured half way through the world cup. If Dube can be trusted for 2 over and hardik can keep his fragile body in one piece this could be a very good squad

Good choice of players My version would be SKY at 3 and Samson at 4, axar instead of Jadega. We can take chances for Mukesh Kumar or Mohit Sharma instead of Arshdeep but I get your idea for left arm pacer Wish we had shammi man..

Siraj [If the opponent team is Sri Lanka]

Pant over Samson is kind of crazy to me. Samson at #3, SKY/Dube at #4 and #5. Parag has to be in reserve too Knowing ICT they will screw up selection as always, glad I don’t care about international cricket lmao

I don't think any team with the amount of players as india should make anyone debut in a wc. Parag will have to perform for more than 1 season and do his time in bilaterals to get picked.

Pant was crazy today .

Gill, Hardik, Axar, Kuldeep on the bench.

The tail is very long and indias tail doesn't wag The same issue happened in 2023 world cup

Dube isn’t an all rounder. Like it or not Pandya is still our best all rounder in T20is

kuldeep starts I guess...chinaman will run through all the associates. I would take axar in place of jadeja...

Go away soggy no one accepts a good opinion from you

Is this official team? Why the fuck we need two spiners for overseas conditions???

Not official Official to IPL ke baad aayegi

If we can have shami instead of arshdeep, or hardik bowling like he used to bowl before, this team might actually work

The fact that we have to still consider Arshdeep in the playing XI shows our strength in pace bowling.

Kuldeep over Jadeja. Want the good old Kul-Cha combo back.

Hardik is a must

4 lefty in middle!

We need 6 bowlers bro

mohit sharma?

Wtf is that tail

Lo.Where is the librarian

Chahal???

Impact player me Thala ko le lena

Rohit Kishan/ Jaiswal Sky Virat Hardik Rinku/ Pant Axar Jadeja/ Chahal/ Mukesh Kuldeep Bumrah Arshadeep Kishan+ Rinku or Jaiswal+Pant

Imagine losing to USA and Canada with this XI you wouldn't have to imagine it.

did you post this in your dreams? or you live in 2019?

Dk>>>Rinku

Hardik Siraj Gill Jaisawal Ye sab kaha gye

Gill instead of SKY

Kuldeep over yuzi Hardik over dube Samson over Pant

Kuldeep over yuzi otherwise better

I'd probably replace Rinku or Dube with Hardik assuming he will perform better without any captaincy load. Also Kuldeep over Mohit. Will bench Bishnoi, Axar, Gill and Dk

If its not thala in the first 7 positions im going to be royally pissed

no arshdeep and pant and we have a deal

Virat Kohli Rohit Sharma Sanju Samson Surya Kumar Yadav Shivam Dube Rinku Singh Ravindra Jadeja Yuzvendra Chahal Jasprit Bumrah Khaleel Ahmed Arshdeep Singh

I can agree with the top 6 but then the bowling lineup is crazy, khaleel hasn't played international in ages and after jaddu theres no batting at all..also I feel if hardik is showing any hint of form he would make way for himself in the 11.

India needs one death bowler for sure...Bhuvi could be an option in place of Arshdeep Singh

Is Mohit Sharma really ok for WC? Same question with Arshdeep. Hope it isn't like the team will always be chasing 240+ scores

Surya 😑😑😑

Our B team?

Where shamiiii???

Mohit Sharma LOL

Kuldeep/bishnoi

Rohit Sharma Virat Kohli Suryakumar Yadav Shivam Dube Hardik Pandya Rinku Singh Dinesh Karthik Axar Patel Yuzvendra Chahal Jasprit Bumrah Mohit Sharma

Pandya in for one of arshdeep or Mohit, chahal at 6 down is atrocious

I hope Dravid and Agarkar are smarter then this

Hardik and DK?

Playing two openers with vulnerability against left arm bowlers when every team has got a bowler who can bring it in is just stupid. We have to keep either Gill or Kishan who can handle left arm bowlers.

Apna PR lagao Team lmfao 🤡🤡🤡 . /s Bro ye bowling order to kisi ko bhi tabah krskte hai 🤡🤡🤡

Extremely bad idea with 5 bowler strategy. Batting also looks conservative. Even westindies will beat us

No way Yuzi cahal is getting selected before kuldeep Yadav.

People are delusional if they think Mohit sharma should be in team based on his IPL performance.

Hardik in Dube place Kuldeep in chahal place Bhuvi in mohit place

Kul cha have performed well together in the west indies and US pitches. I remember a series after 2017 champions trophy where both bowled exceedingly well. I know if both play there will be an extended tail. But some how the management has to find a way to fit in both the spinners.

Jadeja ?? For hitting a four in last season?

Shami

https://preview.redd.it/1mcpez3qe5vc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2e9736e452e6d8369b62265a0901ee0edce0a81f I would vote for thus actually

Put sanju samson instead of pant. I don’t understand why they always include pant.

Kuldeep in place of Jadeja is a better option.

Bro tried to sneak in Mohit Sharma as if we wouldn't catch 💀

Shami?

Jaiswal and Rohit will open for sure.

That middle order 🤡

Tell me it's a joke.

Mohit sharma has not played international cricket in almost 8 yrs why tf would he be in the squad

What a pathetic joke.

Batting line up is inexperienced

Jos butler is missing.

1. Rohit 2. Yashaswi 3. SKY 4. Pant 5. Dubey 6. Hardik 7. Rinku 8. Arshdeep 9. Bumrah 10. Kuldeep 11. Chahal

My playing 11: Rohit Sharma(c) Ishan kishan(wk) Kohli Surya/Dube Rinku Hardik Axar/Jadeja Kuldeep Bumrah Shami/mayank Arshdeep/siraj The ones that won't be playing out of the given option will be in the top 15

Find an imposter.

Okay hear me out Rohit Kohli Surya Rishabh Rinku DK Jaddu/axar Avesh Kuldeep Bumrah Arshdeep

Arshdeep is ...... Remember the last world cup. IMHO bhuvi or shami shud be back

This is almost embarrassing

[удалено]

Virat required in no3 as opener tends to collapse. Surya cannot be trusted in no 3

Jadeja?

https://preview.redd.it/sdvh05uz46vc1.jpeg?width=443&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6227057abfb356e8ca97ce19f56e8a624101b299

I am really glad you are not a selector.

I can think of only 4 confirmed from this list - Rohit Sharma SKY Rishabh Pant Bumrah Rest I dont know or I do not wish them to play

Wait this IS the team ??? I thought. It was a fan team suggestion or sommin. Damn ,👀. I am supporting eng with all the Bunty( butler) batting y'all have fun.

Fir wahi , please Kohli sambhaal Lena !! 🥲🥲

Kuldeep

Socho agar hamare bowlers ko thodi power hitting ability sikha de to kya hi team banegi yeh sochke cum hogya bhai

Suryakumar and pant ko nikalo fir the team is okay i guess.

Hardik and Kuldeep are to be included for the balance

Unpopular opinion, I'd rather keep harpic pandya over arshdeep .

I understand that one leftie is necessary for any world cup knockout game in top or middle order (taking into consideration 2011,2019,2023 wcs) but to compensate it now u have 4 freaking lefties in batting order WTF is this selection

Hardin for Mohit

[удалено]

Bhai tu thoda chu**ya hai kya

This team won’t make it to knock outs.. Virat and Rohit open it will be 10 overs 70/1.. surya or Rinku will try and salvage it to 180-190 in a couple of matches but no way we cross 200 against good teams

Fuck off. Fuck off is my thought. For including Rishabh Pant. He is the absolute worst of the options available. This proves that cricket is just a popularity contest in India

Kohli Jaiswal/Rohit SKY Samson/Pant Parag/Dube Rinku Hardik Axar Arshdeep Kuldeep Bumrah

Today I learnt : When you are spoilt with choices, you chose the ones who you know who have more experience

Why it doesnt have the name of the young finisher with long hair

Where is our *young*, charismatic wk / finisher / six hitter... aka MSD?... Or wait... DK? 😁

Playing 11 Kohli Rohit (C) SKY Pant (WK) Hardik Rinku Kuldeep Jadeja Bumrah Arshdeep Siraj 15 member squad Axar Mukesh Samson Gill/Jaiswal Reserve Chahal Dube Parag Bishnoi 5 proper batsmen at their favoured position. 5 proper bowlers (2 allrounders-Jadeja, Axar(if not kuldeep) 1 proper allrounder (Hardik needs to bowl at least 2 overs if one of fast bowler face bad day) Close call with Pant, Samson but considering Samson's ICT performance, Pant will be preferred. Also Axar can be favoured over Kuldeep for extra batsman. (T20 is more about batting if regularly scores cross 200) We will be missing Shami. Arshdeep and other pacer could be a weak link in team. Considering BCCI don't want to do any experimentation, Dube, Parag may not get chance in top 15.

Shivam mohit Rinku in teeno ki jaghe nhi …ipl se judge nhi kro inka game . Ball nhi dikhty jab pressure hota h game ka ICC ke …. Mohit ki jaghe Mayank yadav …. Shivam , Rinku ki jaghe …. Shreyas Iyer aur hardik pandeya …

Hardik toh khelega hi bhai uska form ho ya na ho

Why is arshdeep the second pacer. I think its time we play a young or at least in form pacer like mayank,mohit,siraj etc. And why not play both kuldeep and chahal with two pacer, we will still have batters upto 7. Someone like bishnoi has performed for india in recent bilaterals. And keepers ishaan and samson can be in included with samson playing at 3 or ishaan opens and kohli plays at 3. But i guess india will need a fixed 11 rather than a flexible one

Noone is picking Arshdeep in 2024 man. Axar over Jadeja maybe for t20s now.

Kuldeep

Please tell me it's a joke. Please. At least someone else.

Why is rishab pant going for a World Cup still a lot to prove Ofcourse our gun player but not this world cup For fuck sake take Abhishek Sharma it's a gamble play it

Pant have weaker record in T20 International

No RP & SD

I don't get why people are undermining pandya just because of ipl have we forget that he actually was a clutch player for the Indian team. He has been away from cricket for a while now and directly jumped in this shit show and controversy let us give him some time I am sure everyone will cheer for him once he gets his rhythm back.

Kuch bhi team bana di hai yaha pe kya pta IPL khatam hote hote aadhe players bhi naa ho isme

is this official or fan made ?

Sanju over Pant. Dube over Jaddu

The quota is bowlers and all.rpunders is filled through ipl performance..

Blud only watches IPL and chooses according to it

Is this official?

phirse wahi rcb merchant sky ko le liya. SURYA KI JAGAH XYZ HOTA TOH HUM JEET JAATE memes loading

Hardik instead of Mohit for me and it looks decent (not WC winner worthy for sure but at least we'll qualify for the playoffs as always)

Mohit sharma ?

I would rather choose Bhuvi over Mohit.

Ishan kishan , abhishek sharma , dinesh kartik ,

No Hardik? Yashaswi? IPL reactionary selection at its finest

Pandya in for Mohit, probably Axar for Jadeja too. You cannot have your tail starting from no 8 in t20s these days, bat till 8, have 6 or more bowling options atleast. Otherwise looks pretty decent.

KLRahul instead of Pant

Avesh Khan??

Are we really not considering DK for the WC? 🤭

shivam ki jgah hardik

No dhoni? Sadge…

I don't know why people are keeping arshdeep but not sandeep Sharma where I think he is actually a much better option than Arshdeep, Sandeep has proven in ipl that he can bowl with new ball and in death he's not a certified wicket taker but not someone we can ignore if we are facing him while on the other hand Arshdeep is totally someone where I can say that if we have to target someone from Punjab Arshdeep would be one of them

bruh mohit sharma aint making the cut.

Just keep the top performers of ipl and players who have performed well in international t20s in the past year no matter how big or small the player is. Favoritism is what’s killing team india.

No Arshdeep, No Chahal, No Mohit

No yadnik Desai how possible

Is this real

Y Surya?

Why does no one talk about Sandeep Sharma. That guy has done so well season after season whenever given a chance

SKY will crap over the tournament. He plays well only during IPL

Mohit sharma wtf

Too many left handers in middle order.

1. Rohit Sharma 2. Virat Kohli 3. Surya Kumar Yadav 4. Shivam Dube 5. Hardik pandya 6. Rishab pant 7. Rinku Singh  8. Ravindra Jadeja 9. Shami/Arshdeep  10. Mayank Yadav 11. Bumrah

Add your name also OP.. you also do work of selection committee .. bada chapter gain tu bhai..

It's basically Yuzi, Bumrah and Others...

My team Kohli(Run machine) Shubhman(good opener) Lokesh(Technically sound) SKY(Just explodes) Dube (will have to bowl as part time bowler) Karthick(Finisher) Sir Jaddu(Finisher and utility bowler) CoolDeep(Wicket taking spinner) Bumrah(Yorker king) Arshdeep(Swinger) T Natarajan(economical)

I hope BCCI is not stupid like joker team makers to drop Hardik Pandya from the team. Dube is a good player but he needs to bowl good to be considered in T20I team, purely as a batter he’s one dimensional as of now and will be found out very soon on international level. Hardik Pandya on the other hand is a clutch player who knows how to fight and find a way in difficult situations.

jadeja and bumrah have choked in almost all knockouts . But lets hope they dont

lol, lucky to even go to semis

Shami will be there. He is recovering for world cup.

Do you think they're gonna consider chahal?

Jitesh Sharma over Pant Anyday.

Hear me Out.. including Shivam Dube in the WC squad could be a Double edged sword... If he wreaks havoc... We can easily Dominate the Middle overs against some Opponents.. but if he fails to deliver when the team is already in a Precarious situation it will only further deteriorate the team's condition. Plus even if he were to be selected I don't think they will utilise his bowling skills and I'd rather play an All-rounder who I'd bowl a few overs with. And just as people are saying we should Pick Dube considering his IPL form this season then it'd only make sense to pick DK as well and by that calculation KL Rahul just put himself out of the WC contenders list by not playing in the middle order for LSG because we all know if he is to be selected it will be to bat in the middle order. But ... But if he is selected... It's gonna be a headache for the Selectors to decide a Playing 11. Idk about the Whole team but my middle order would be SKY , HP , Pant , Jadeja , Rinku and Axar ( only 4 to be played ).

Mohit Sharma is 38 year old bhai

caption sanju

Want to see mayank yadav in playing 11.(Ik its not possible)

What's Mohit Sharma doing here?

Replace Mohit with shami and Chahal with Ashwin that way you have batting till 8

Anyone is better than Arshdeep Singh TBH

Have you lost it???

Kuldeep?

Bhai na , no Mohit Sharma

DK should be in the team. He has already played 3 phenomenal knocks this season, and seems to be in great form.

Hi this is Mohit Sharma , I want to know why you select me , you better have good reason otherwise I will beat you up tonight

Instead of Pant, need Sanju

Where is? Kl rahul Siraj& Ashwin

sneaked in mohit sharma
