Don't even imply that Afridi is on a similar level to Jayasuriya or Gilchrist as a batsman. Or cricketer.

He's saying he'd move Rohit down the order to get Sehwag in there and play both, not that Sehwag was actually better.
But he has been really overdosing on his strike rate bullshit across the forum lately so who knows. Being wrong isn't really unusual for him but arguing it in such a trollish and silly manner definitely is.

Of course not. Rohit is better but we okay both and Sehwag as blaster opener.

Nope. I am saying there is a specified blaster opener role in modern ODI cricket.
My friend, if I rubbed you the wrong way, my apologies. I do enjoy these back and forths.

Strike rate not mattering at all is a 10x more nonsensical and ridiculous take. The suggestion should be laughed out of the room every time.

Yes. If anything, it matters way more in ODIs. Anyone who watches cricket should understand how your rate of scoring runs affects the state of the game.

So we can finally agree that Kapil >> Imran in ODIs

Lol not with a 23 average. He belongs with the Afridi's of the world...

Afridi was a better bat than Imran

If you rate Afridi so high, why not Sehwag?
Adorable Asshole
International Regular
No I just rate Imran low because of his SR

Dean Jones didn't hide lower down the order inflate his average like a certain Khan

Imran literally averages more the higher up he bats compared to Kapil's disastrous middle order record.

We are now talking about Afridi and Imran. Kapil vs Imran was ages ago. Get with the times, old man.

How can you use that critique of Imran in relation to Kapil?

Average of 23 is hardly AR. It’s Imran by streets. Kapil was a bowler who could bat, Imran was a proper AR.

I would go with the below Indian team.
Sachin
Rohit
Kohli
Sehwag
Yuvraj
Dhoni
Pandya
Kapil
Zaheer/Shami
Bumrah
Kuldeep
Sehwag is kind of unproven at #4, but I would still back him to score well there, as he is one of the GOATs ever against spin.
The other option is to pick Dhawan and bat Rohit and Kohli out of their positions(which I don't prefer). Sehwag is one player one could do that to I guess.
Pandya and Kuldeep are still work in progress, but I will pick them ahead of other options.
Pandya is the preferred 5th bowler. But there is Sachin, Sehwag and Yuvraj to cover up.
That is a monstrous batting lineup and would do well in most situations. Most bases covered there imo.
