Blockbuster?

How can India fit Kuldeep Yadav into the XI?

Anil Kumble weighs in on whether India will play Kuldeep Yadav in the Super Eight, and how they could do it

So India wants to play 8 batters according to Kumble. Add 7 bowlers to that and we get all-rounder spam. No place for likes of Kuldeep and Jaiswal.

Also sadly stories such as this will accompany rise of Afghan cricket.

Human rights question hangs over success story of Afghanistan's men

The oppression of women in the country has raised tough questions for ICC

The only way Kuldeep can ensure a steady, uninterrupted career is by raising his batting to Jadeja's level.

Afghan middle order a big worry. Cant rely on openers all the time

That would be disastrous mindset for Indian team management to have.

Yeah and moreover its not possible in the middle of the tournament. Kuldeep himself worked a lot to come to the level as bowler that hes now. To take himself to the level of Jadeja's batting is whole new different level

Was only half-serious but that appears to be the perennial reason for keeping him out. Scarcely believable that he's not played a game yet considering the amount of work he's put in to his bowling and the success he's had over the last year and some.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Lol all the morning games and tough on Ravi Shastri coming to the toss hung over

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Not sure about batting first here

His record in all formats is amazing.

All rounder spam continues. At least 2 all rounders too many in the XI.

Dravid prefers Axar Patel and looks like hes staying for all the matches

Axar has earned his place. Dube and Jadeja haven't.

Oh and Kohli still opening. It's as befuddling as Smith opening in Tests.

Would not mind dropping Dube and Jaiswal opening. Its not like he would bowl or anything. Hes there for batting and there are six bowlers anyways

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Looks like a pitch thats gonna come late to the bat and hold up

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Whats this shot. Terrible

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Ravi already backtracking from no excuse for batsman to fail here

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Is this the highest score of the tourney for Kohli so far ?
