Hooda batting below Washy and not bowling is ITSTL

Doesn't seem like we got enough runs here. Might actually tune in and watch some of this.

Fake crowd noises by Star Sports. Disgusting. Who on Earth actually thinks this is a good idea? It's almost as bad as the non stop vuvuzelas.

Hosein at 7 is crazy. If they want someone to soak up deliveries I would have went with Joseph.

Didn't Shaw score 2243574744 runs or so in the last Indian 50 over event?

I'd also like to see Gaikwad have a go opening sooner rather than later.

Whatever it takes!!!
Seems Dhawan is back for the last game. Want us to try this for once -

Rohit
Dhawan
Virat
Rahul (wk)
SKY
Hooda
Washy
Shardul
Deepak
Bishnoi
Prasidh


This will give us a lot more options IMO. Prasidh and Bishnoi can be the attacking options in the middle overs. Washy and Deepak are both at their best bowling in the powerplay and Deepak will give a proper swing option to get wickets upfront. Lord and Deepak are decent enough bowling at the death too and we can use SKY and Hooda to give us some overs in the middle if we wanna test out the 6th and 7th bowling options in our lineups.

I'd be happy to see Avesh & Bishnoi given ODI debuts but don't see that happening. Chahar will definitely get a game. Siraj will be rested for T20Is.
Prasidh will 100% play as he is in ODI squad only which is perfect as he is a ODI Test bowler.
Avesh should start with T20Is along with Siraj.
Hopefully Bishnoi gets a couple of games as well.

Indian bowling is finally getting exciting to watch after quite sometime. Batting is still meh.. Kohli is a proper passenger now. Should rest himself for this game & give Ruturaj/Kishan a game.

I mean its not like they have won India games with their death bowling, is it? Hang on...........
The Lord is terrible with the ball in white ball cricket, gets smashed even in middle overs. Chahar is peak Bhuvi without the death bowling. Both have an economy rate of 6+. Only one of them should be in the XI.

Yep Indian bowling looks penetrative after quite a while. Only one trundler should be allowed who can bat. Dravid is finally doing some good things with our pace attack as far as ODIs are concerned. I prefer Chahar over Lord as of now. Chahar definitely a gun bowler with new ball. His batting is more or less Shardul level in LOIs.

ER means nothing without context. Bumrah averages 100+ in ODIs since 2020. Lets drop him too. Its very simple. The days of playing LO cricket with more than 1 guy who can't bat or field are gone. At worst, if we have good enough specialists, you can afford to carry 2. Carrying all of Chahal, Siraj/Prasidh and Bumrah is gonna bite us in the ass, esp. since two of them have not exactly taken wickets more than a Chahar or a Lord anyways. Given the WC is in India, we have to maximize our strengths. That means playing Lord and Chahar together.
