***Official*** Nidahas Tri-Series T20I Trophy 2018

[MagicPoopShovel]

Yeah, the pressure that DK had to carry through in that final over was incredible. All sorts of pressure would have been on his mind. An India career lost for 10 years and to get his career resurrected, a full crowd of SL fans rooting for him, and millions of people in India. Whoo. Sachin's pressure might be Bradman-like but this pressure is Gary Sobers level.

Exactly my point - The pressure a Nidahas trophy brings is unlike anything SRT had to experience. It is known.

If I were to guess I would say Karthiks KO stats > SRT and Kohli at this point in time.

This guy legit ups his game when the pressure is really on. Fully expect the same when the Asia cup comes around cuz the WHOLE WORLD WILL BE WATCHING.

 

[sunilz]

You can't use pressure factor while comparing 2 Indian cricketers. It cancels out imo.

 

[ankitj]

A bit late but finally DK has arrived. I heard that he made his debut around 2004. Much before Dhoni.

Not much before, but yes he did enter international scene few months before Dhoni. DK started with tests, Dhoni with ODIs later in same year.

 

[srbhkshk]

Manish Pandey somehow does not fit in this team. He seems like a player who can stay till last over and still cannot win a match. His batting is more suitable for tests but he'll not find place in Team.

God NO, he is a hack who can't lay bat on the moving ball, just because he can't score quickly doesn't mean he is suited to tests.

Pandey is averaging 39 in ODIs with a SR of 93, and 41 in T20Is with a SR of 127

He's literally won multiple games for India in his brief career already. One bad innings and he's now a hack?

Indian fans are the worse.


Imagine having to deal with this kind of **** your whole career #Pressure

 

[harsh.ag]

Think we can all agree that Shankar shouldn't get another game for a while.

 

[cnerd123]

FWIW - Pandey is a better FC batsman than List A/Domestic T20. Averages 51 with a great conversion rate. His biggest weakness is he's a poor starter - it's why he can sometimes look out of his depth early in his innings. But there is no room for him in the Limited Overs top order or the Test middle order, so he's got to do the best he can in a difficult position. And he's doing pretty damn well so far if you ask me. Gets a disproportionate amount of hate.

I know you are part trolling, but his inability to accelerate has been on show for quite some time now, not only this innings. Still think he should make it in the ODI team below Rahul though.

 

[cnerd123]

I'm not trolling. He's legit. You're all acting like there is are better alternatives available, or that rapidly accelerating an innings is something easy to do.

It's a hard ****ing job and we were spoiled with the likes of Dhoni and Yuvraj. Pandey and Jadhav have been the best two options we have found for the middle order, they're both quality players, and they both do not deserved to be labelled hacks and dismissed after a couple of bad innings positions that aren't their specialty. We shouldn't be discarding them, we should be giving them extended runs in the middle order so that they have enough time to adapt and grow into the roles by the time the WC rolls around. This fickle chop and change attitude will mean we walk into the WC with an unproven, inexperience middle order of players no more talented than these two.

Until the next great Indian ODI finisher emerges, these are who we have. Lets make the best of it.

 

[sunilz]

Please do not discuss important cricket issues in this thread. It is difficult to understand who is trolling and who is serious.

 

[harsh.ag]

How about

Dhawan
Rohit
Kohli
Dhoni
KL
DK
Pandya

That sounds like something we should be looking at for the WC.

Raina should be playing in the lower order in the role of power hitter. Think we should accommodate one or both of Rahul and Rahane and in the team. With Raina behind them there is room for Pandey only in reserves.

 

[cnerd123]

I'm all for KL, but DK has literally had just 8 good balls against BD in the recent past.

Knowing our selectors though, he is very definitely going to get a chance at number 5/6 in ODIs now. Just hope he does well.

Personally I'd stick to Jadhav/Pandey/KL for the 5/6 role, with Pandya locked in at 7. In case of injury to Pandya, we play all three of them and have Jadhav/Kohli/someone bowl the 5th bower quota.

Might be worth giving Raina another run actually, just as a backup for Pandya...

Yes, that's right. Dinesh Kartik made his debut approx 3 months earlier than Ms Dhoni but unfortunately, he got very few opportunities in the team. It was memorable to watch him bat like that. Delightful innings.

 

[Athlai]

So you're comparing it to the IPL then, because it trumps anything & everything now

And players from better countries play in the IPL, yes.

DK had excellent domestic season. check his record

 

[sunilz]

India have won the independence cup of SL and Bangladesh but lost their own to Srilanka in 1997.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Sri Lanka were actually a competitive team back in 1997

 

[cnerd123]

DK had excellent domestic season. check his record

Then pick him in the Domestic All Stars XI. He has a career full of beasting domestically but disappointing internationally. I'm a fan of his so I want to see him in the ODI team too, but let him play a few games and put up some numbers before we consider him a fix to the middle order issue.

Realistically, since 2015, the best ODI middle order bats we have had have been Pandey and Jadhav:

Batting records | One-Day Internationals | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPNcricinfo

And their numbers are pretty decent. We should really just cut them some slack.

He just looks terrible when you watch him bat though. Like Sourabh Tiwary. Yeah, he's won us a few matches here and there and has a good FC record, but..
