[Shri]

Yashasvi Jaiswal
Prithvi Shaw
Ruturaj Gaikwad
Rishabh Pant
Shreyas Iyer
Ravindra Jadeja
Hardik Pandya/Venkatesh Iyer
MS Dhoni [C/WK]
Ravi Bishnoi
Mohd Shami
Jasprit Bumrah

sick of kohli/rohit/rahul getting out for ducks or single digit scores in knockout games vs pak

dhoni plays as specialist captain/keeper/tactician and bats 8. don't expect runs from him. if it happens, its a bonus

No.. coz you need more bowling options... Replace MSD with a bowler and make Shreyas captain, and I think we can.

bit raw tbh, and surely the bog standard indian ODI side make the final at home? from there sure, the game can go full meme but you'd back them to win.

Hope they don't meet NZ in SF .?

 

[Shri]

the quarter final, semi final, final venues whould all be producing 2 wickets. one batting pitch with a bit of normal indian shot making pace and the other one should be doctored to be slow af off the fuller length to negate couchface

 

[ankitj]

No

 

[OverratedSanity]

2007 wc repeat exit in group stage. Dravid the actual new panauti.

 

[Teja.]

Didn't you have enough of Dhoni's torture porn innings in '15 and '19 world cups?

 

[Gob]

short answer no
long answer nah

 

[centurymaker]

Even if the team had the best players, as long as that mf dhoni is there, no bloody chance.

no.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Surely Dhoni retired years ago? Should have been put out of his misery around 2014-15

 

[centurymaker]

Dhoni should have retired after the 2011 WC tbf.

He was a joke after that.

I think he was ok till about 2017 to be fair. Not as great but the decline was nothing more than what other ATGs go through. Beyond that, he should not have stayed at the international level. Perfectly good enough to continue in the IPL obviously.

 

[Apex Predator]

Kishan
Shaw
Gaikwad
Iyer
Pant
V Iyer
Sundar
Bishnoi
Siraj
Bumrah
Prasidh Krishna

 

[honestbharani]

Deepak Chahar for Prasidh and its a winning team.

 

[srbhkshk]

There were signs before this as well, but the exact moment I was convinced Dhoni's decline was fully on was this -

No way in hell does a peak Dhoni fail to get this done.

msd calling out plays from behind the stumps and using spinners in indian conditions is worth carrying even if he doesn't put bat on ball 9 times out of 10

It actually may work in T20s if they are held in India but him playing full ODIs is a bridge too far IMO. And even in T20s, we have better options. He is good in his current role for CSK and that is about it.
