I think that’s great from Kohli as a leading voice in cricket to openly talk about such issues. From an Indian POV it’s massively needed because those sorts of conversations are often taboo.

Exactly what I posted in the Mental Health thread with the same link. I am starting to get the feeling the guys who are finding fault with this interview, just want to hate the guy come what may. This is such a taboo subject that it is good it is being brought up in this way by someone like Virat.

I have seen lots of praise for Gill and Pant over the last few weeks. However, it is important to note that this is Test cricket, not T20 cricket. India would do well to bench Gill and Pant, so that they learn the Test temperament. Anyday, I would prefer a Pujara 70(255) over a Gill/Pant 35(35).

 

[Pup Clarke]

I sort of agree with Gill, supremely talented but a bit of time on the sidelines won't be a problem for him imo- and India have good back up in Agarwal and KL Rahul.
Dropping Pant is nonsensical though

How is it nonsensical? Pant is a T20 cricketer. He is an IPL superstar, so let him remain an IPL superstar. He shouldnt be playing test cricket for India. Saha's experience is too valuable.

Have you seen Pants Test average you thick clown? Have you seen the innings he made in Australia?
He has more test hundreds outside of Asia than Dhoni already!

What would have happened if Saha played the last 2 tests in Australia, Saha cant bat away from home and Pant has been brilliant away from home.

Guys, we are being introduced to some kind of 4D-Gambhiring here.

Reading down the thread I was hoping for a psyduck appearance.

Yaa, my bad. Mental health is no joke. Will delete my post. It's just that in a nation where we see common folks suffering and struggling for survival on a daily basis, most battles that people with prosperity face look small(but sometimes they aren't). But I agree I am wrong on this one. Kohli coming out and speaking about these things will only inspire and encourage others who look up to him, it is a very positive thing.

Ok. What's your rationale for leaving out Pant?

 

[Spark]

We've had intent memeing here for a while, so it's good to have some anti-intent memeing as well.

Pant should find a way to tip over every game and let Saha take over the glove.

 

[CodeOfWisden]

Six words for you all:

James Anderson. Pink ball.

Ishant Sharma. Pink ball.

 

[Shri]

those are both 4 words

Ishant has got to be the most improved bowler in world cricket. He has such immaculate control of in-swing and can also get the ball to tail away really late - great to watch
