I will never understand "choti ghend". It literally means "small ball" not "short ball".

Rohit and Gambhir started our trademark tuk tuk style of batting for 30 or 35 overs everytime. Which means you never lose many wickets but you never make any runs either.
Nah, Rohit finds the right time to cut loose and then keeps going on, sometimes it's early in the innings and sometimes he would take a few overs and wait for the right bowlers to go after. Gambhir's role was to anchor the innings when Sehwag, Sachin, etc. were on song and attack when needed(like how he did in the T20 WC in Sehwag's absence). It was MSD's template to not lose early wickets and that's what these guys followed. In any case, they wouldn't allow part timers to just bowl at them over after over to maintain their own form. Also, the game is a little more faster now than it was before. 50 over cricket is more like an extended version of T20s with field restrictions and 2 new balls.
Doesn't work if there's jews in the pitch.
I can't stand Powar's attitude. I don't know why some of us Indians just completely change when we get into some sort of leadership role. I really want to dive deep into this topic tbh. Becoming a little bit egoistic after success is one thing, but completely acting like some kind of a "Don" after you get some authority is just annoying AF.
They are Backing Yastika as she offers a left handed option in middle order. Probably want some strike rotation with left right combo. Not a bad ploy. Jemi hasn't really set the stage on fire at Int'l level yet. Though I'd take her over MithaliPowar sounds like an idiot here. Talking **** about players who were axed, very encouraging.

Jemimah Rodrigues is 21 and full of promise, she did great in BBL and the Hundred too. What the heck is Powar doing?
I think the situation is that there's no actual change in what they are as a person, it's just that they didn't have power before and now they do.
But I thought Powar resides in Mumbai.
All said and done, do you think there should be major changes before a WC? Jemimah has a good T20 record and she has shown a lot of promise in ODIs. Plus she has been in good form in whatever cricket she has played recently. Same with Shikha Pandey, she is an experienced bowler who can score useful runs down the order. After the WC, the management could have tried new players since Jhulan and Mithali will mostly retire.
And no one will call him small.
Yeah I would have kept her in squad. She is probably not in first XI but it was weird to see her missing from a squad altogether. Poonam Raut deserved a boot & got one. So that spot should have gone to Jemi.
