Delhi smog should make for a great environment to play cricket in

Jadeja probably gonna bring his horse and sword to the Rajkot stadium to watch him play.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Big wicket this. Probably it will keep India below 200

Today is probably the day they beat us in this format.

There is an air of fallibility around Indian T20 team. More so evident in the absence of Kohli and Bumrah. No wonder we are 5th in the rankings in this format.

 

[vcs]

Definitely their weakest format. Not that anyone cares, as long as we keep doing well in Tests.

People will probably care during the World Cup next year.

Not me and probably not many on CW, but still.

Yeah but those are apes..

Yeah, but there isn't much correlation between these rankings and what happens in the T20 WC (I agree that is possibly the only thing that matters in this format).

Yeah but you said it was their weakest format rather than just that they were going to be ranked mid-table. It'll be their weakest format even when they're taking it seriously and playing full strength lineups IMO. Not that they can't do well anyway, but still.

 

[vcs]

It's their weakest format, but I don't really rate anyone else either. So they still have a decent chance in the T20 WC.

Being serious, I would probably expect England, NZ and Australia in those conditions to be slightly better than India. Dhawan isn't great in T20s, though Aussie pitches could suit him better. Rohit is our best player in this format. Kohli is slightly less explosive these days, but he has an incredible record in the tournament. Bumrah is a jet, rest of the attack is kind of unproven.

Overall, as long as the pitch isn't a complete 220+ road, they should be fine IMO. Format is a tossup though, so making predictions is pointless.

Additionally, our batsmen are suspect on sticky wickets. That left arm of Santner gives haunting memories.

You fool, you killed the "yeah but" streak.

Congrats to the Bd boys on winning the opener.

 

[ankitj]

So finally a win for BD after India denied them victory on last ball on at least 3 occasions.

The stage was actually set for it to happen again

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

All future T20I series should be relegated to category of "non-sticky worth" status.

I hope they’re not seriously considering Chahar and Ahmed as first picks for the WC.
