You should bust a nut before he comes in to bat instead of while he's batting. Get it out of your system.I dont like watching Kholi bat in test matches it like he can get out at any ball, i get nervous energy do any of you Indian fans feel the same these days.
more complicated to rotate three spinners around. 4 spinners means they can be paired up neatly for spells however the captain wantsWhat is funny is that Axar barely gets too bowl as is with Ashwin and Jadeja around. What are two more spinners going to be hanging around for?
I am not saying it is the right move dude but we know how they think. I hope they give him the series coz these have been tough pitches to bat on and 40s are match-winning scores here and he has to be judged in that context. That said, he does not look like a test batsman and like it or not, keepers today need to be test class batsmen.Dropping Bharat is idiotic tbh. For KL you could at least argue that he's not had a good run and Gill could be a better option (who ended up being just as bad in a different way), but Bharat hasn't done much wrong in the grand scheme of things to deserve being left out for another debutant. Don't speak it into existence ffs @honestbharani.
He actually got dropped for a bit tho. Kohli has seemed untouchable as long as Rahane/Pujara are around to stink it up and take the attention away.Aside from the 50 he made in the last Test (which was realistically worth 100+ on a more typical pitch) he's been just as bad as Kohli for just as long. Looks worse too.
They won't drop him like that because they actually rate him, ffs. You can't say we know how they think and then assume dropping Bharat is in the Indian TM's wheelhouse. And it's easy to not look like a Test batter on these wickets, unless you're also saying Smith and Labuschagne aren't Test batters either. You don't need to Gambhir about this smh.I am not saying it is the right move dude but we know how they think.

Lets hope we make the WTC final which means there are 2 more tests in this cycle. The best I can see happening for us -He actually got dropped for a bit tho. Kohli has seemed untouchable as long as Rahane/Pujara are around to stink it up and take the attention away.
There is a bit of Gambhir in Ganguly and a bit of Ganguly in GambhirGanguly is exactly the kind of petty **** who would think this is an opportunity to get back at Team India for the way he was treated by them when he was BCCI President and say something like this.
It's particularly necessary they probably have seen enough of Bharat. With a WTC final approaching it makes total sense to try out Kishan if he is upto it.Dropping Bharat is idiotic tbh. For KL you could at least argue that he's not had a good run and Gill could be a better option (who ended up being just as bad in a different way), but Bharat hasn't done much wrong in the grand scheme of things to deserve being left out for another debutant.

The Rahul idea looks interesting. Rahul did had a solid run in England as a opener, SA too & I am not too convinced seeing Gill at the top in England. He can surely come in the MO.Lets hope we make the WTC final which means there are 2 more tests in this cycle. The best I can see happening for us -
Motera - Rohit, Gill, Pujara, Virat, Jadeja, Shreyas, Ishan, Ashwin, Axar, Umesh, Shami
Oval - Rohit, Gill, Pujara, Virat, Jadeja, Shreyas, Ishan, Ashwin/Shardul, Umesh, Shami, Siraj
I guess the Windies tour can be a fresh start but I am not too hopeful. Now, if it was upto me...
Motera - Rohit, Gill, Pujara, Virat, Washy, Shreyas, Jaddu, Ashwin, Bharat, Umesh/Axar, Shami - if its a turner, I will play Axar, else Umesh.
Oval - Rohit, Gill, Pujara, Virat, Washy, Shreyas, Jaddu/Shardul, Umesh, Shami, Siraj. - Not sure if Oval will be spinny in June. If so, Jaddu.
Dravid-Rohit GalaxyBrain Idea Alert - Get Rahul for Bharat and have him keep and bat #5. Unfortunately, this may well happen too.

daily reminder that KL Rahul was the #1 keeper for his franchise till last year and also kept for us in T20Is.
He’d fit right in on this thread thenKl rahul is pure negative energy
why are you dropping our top scorer for the series on a turnerMotera - Rohit, Gill, Pujara, Virat, Washy, Shreyas, Jaddu, Ashwin, Bharat, Umesh/Axar, Shami - if its a turner, I will play Axar, else Umesh.
5 spinners and keeper at 10. Can't believe India have fallen so far that there time travelling to pre WW-I to scrape a chance at victorywhy are you dropping our top scorer for the series on a turner
also if it is a turner, we should go all in and play kuldeep and pick no pacers
Rohit, Gill, Pujara, Virat, Shreyas, Washy, Jaddu, Axar, Ashwin, Bharat, Kuldeep
