Should’ve binned Collar Chewer in ODIs
Yes, but happy with the team otherwise.

The collar chewer will be competing with Axar for his slot :laugh: , so he won't come into the picture coz he is half as good as him.

Kuldeep/Washi and Axar will be our main picks for the two spinners slot. Hopefully Bishnoi gets a game too.

Now beat this team MOFOs. Finally we've selected LO teams that make sense. Bhuvi getting a last chance to show what he can do, not too bad coz the competition between him and Harshal will be tough and Bhuvi will either have to make massive changes in what he is doing or he'll be out.

Win-win I say. Excellent team selections.

No, I was wrong. Axar isn't in the ODI squad. Rooting for Washi/Bishnoi combo in that case.

Any idea why Deepak Hooda is in the ODI squad instead of Rishi Dhawan or Venky? Rishi has been beasting domestic cricket for the past few years and Venky has way bettr stats then Hooda and got binned after 2 games

I'd have gone Hooda for T20Is and Iyer for ODIs, but atleast they're getting picked.

Hope all the newbies get plenty of game time so we can see what they're made of. Especially Gaikwad, Bishnoi, Hooda and Avesh. Prasidh should play as many games as possible as well.

Venky is a good prospect, but doesn't look ready for ODIs yet(at least for the middle order). Not a bad decision I feel.

Hooda's selection is quite strange though. Although he does offer you the 6th bowling option.

Kuldeep in ODIs but not in T20Is & reverse for Axar. So there's some variables there.
Collar chewer in both formats is unwarranted. I'd have gone for Axar.
Anyways the pool is great if you add Jadeja as well. Hopefully they back these players. Maybe Shahrukh was hard done when it comes to T20 squad. Best power hitter in the country

Actually I was wrong, if Hooda does perform well, his bowling will be useful in the ODI WC which is in India. That was one of our issues in the last WC, not having that 6th bowling option. Not a bad selection if you look at it that way. Plus he has been around since a very long time and is a pure middle-order batsman.

Definitely, but I am not too worried about him. He'll either be competing with Jadeja or Axar and they are much better than him. Plus they don't make tik-tok videos like him, so Axar and Jaddu are better than him even outside cricket.

Whatever it takes!!!
Based on selections, I hope to see this side line up. Still feel Virat and Rahul should have also been rested, but meh, it is what it is.


Rohit
Shikhar
Virat
Pant (wk)
Rahul
Shreyas/SKY/Hooda
Washy
Shardul
Chahar
Bishnoi
Siraj/Prasidh/Avesh

Rahul should be nowhere close to the ODI side but I'll still take the current combination over the earlier garbage. Also, Shardul is also quite expensive with the ball, we should go with Chahar and pick Shardul only when Chahar is not available. Washi, Chahar, Siraj, Prasidh/Avesh, Bishnoi seems like a much better combo.

Yes but I dont like the 3 #11s approach ever in any form of cricket these days, esp. LO and esp. ODIs. I feel batting depth is more of a thing in ODIs more than any other format. If we had Axar instead of Bishnoi, I would be ok with Shardul missing out for another seamer, but since we don't, I feel we should do this. Zak made the same point on Cricbuzz too and you know those MI coaching city know their LO games well.
