Feeling good for Sanju but heartbreak for Rinku 💔💔

India XI - 1.Ruturaj Gaikwad 2.Yashasvi Jaiswal 3.Suryakumar Yadav 4.Shivam Dube 5.Sanju Samson (c,wk) 6.Rinku Singh 7.Axar Patel 8.Yuzi Chahal 9.Jasprit Bumrah 10.T Natarajan 11.Sandeep Sharma

Some years ago when ind were performing poorly in the 2021 wt20 a journalist asked the then captain virat kohli on replacing rohit sharma to which his response was you'll replace rohit sharma? 😏 Unbelievable! Back then everyone blasted that journalist but the truth was that he was right. This kind of mentality is why we leave guys like rinku singh because for us only names matter. Even now as captain rohit sharma might have recommended some out of form players just because they are his friends.

Natarajan is a massive miss. I want him to be in playing 11 as he is doing very well. I also feel Abhishek Sharma should have been accommodated as no one scores quickly than him among Indian openers. Team selection have put lots of time to arrive good team. I only have concerns with Hardik performance with bat and ball.

Bcci should have respectfully phased out Rohit and Kohli and gave chances to performing youngsters like Rinku, Tilak, Gaikwad, Ashutosh and Sasank... There are selections like Pant based on prejudice than actual performance..DK and Sanju performed lot better than Pant in past year..He should not have been selected over Rinku..pants strike rate is 120 where as Rinku got 176. Pant needs pitch like Delhi and bowler like Mohith to perform

Gill Over Ruturaj is Absolute Bias akd Favouritism

Siraj 🤡 Arshdeep 🤡 SANDEEP Sharma 🗿🗿❤❤ I'm so sad for him.. Lagatar Accha performance karta hai But BCCI 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ iss baar bhi WC mein nahi lia..Almost Bumraah jitne Acche stats hai uske, economy bhi Boomraah jitni hai 😭

Dube and Rinku both can be in the squad and probably in the 11 as well Just stupid argument Dube is anyway a middle order batsman, whereas Rinku is a finisher STUPIDEST ARGUMENT

You're spot on at everything. Really feel for Rinku, and Natarajan in reserves. And hopefully, Hardik never captains the Indian team ever. He isn't a leader, more like a buoyed teenager that would do whatever he likes. At this juncture, laying power in those arms is akin to giving a gun to a maniac.

14:50 Again tom also mentions NATARAJAN is surprising miss and Gavaskar also mentioned him in india today so NATARAJAN is a no brainer 🤷🤷😐😑.

Best playing XI for West Indies & US condition. 1) Rohit 2) Virat 3) Sanju 4) SKY 5) Dube 6) Hardik 7) Jadeja 8) Kuldeep 9) Bumrah 10) Siraj 11) Arshdeep But the playing XI they actually play and lose games 1) Rohit 2) Jaiswal 3) Virat 4) SKY 5) Pant 6) Dube / Jadeja 7) Hardik 8) Kuldeep 9) Bumrah 10) Arshdeep 11) Siraj

Not right pick..India completely lack power hitter at back..Avoiding Rinku is a big mistake..He is the best finisher India got after long time..He averages 89 and strike at 176..You cannot avoid a player of that caliber..

1) Rohit Sharma 2) Sanju Samson 3) Virat Kohli 4) SuryaKumar Yadav 5) Shivam Dube 6) Hardik Pandya 7) Axar Patel/Ravindra Jadeja 8) Kuldeep Yadav 9) Mohammad Siraj 10) Arshdeep Singh 11) Jasprit Bumrah

It's again hero worship!! 2007 se Kuch nahi seekhe. All three seniors were taken out of team. Here we r still going with Kohli Rohit who played 4 to 5 T20 world Cups. Again with Pant Hardik Jaddu who are not performing well. 5 quota player then 4 bowlers only 2 places left that's sky n YJs. Nothing changed

1. Yashasvi Jaiswal 2. Rohit Sharma 3. Virat Kohli 4. Suryakumar Yadav 5. Sanju Samson 6. Rinku Singh 7. Ravindra Jadeja 8. Kuldeep Yadav 9. Jasprit Bumrah 10. T. Natarajan 11. Mayank Yadav 12. Rishabh Pant 13. Shivam Dube 14. Yuzi Chahal 15. Sandeep Sharma

Fast bowling looks weak..and team lacks power hitter at back..

Sandeep , Nataraj should have been there in the team. India won their first t20 World Cup with youngsters . virat , hardik are liabilities in my honest opinion .

Team selection on reputation not on performance.....😡

Most probably Sanju will be on the bench and he will probably get 1 or 2 chances. Same with Rinku, he might be in the reserve and not called. Hardik should be out and Rinku should come in if Dube is already playing. Natarajan and Sandeep should come in place of Siraj and Khaleel. India can't play 4 spinners, should plan accordingly. 1.Rohit Sharma 2.Yashasvi Jaiswal 3.Virat Kohli 4.Sanju Samson (wk) 5.Shivam Dube 6.Rinku Singh 7.Axar Patel 8.Kuldeep Yadav 9.Jasprit Bumrah 10.T Natarajan 11.Sandeep Sharma If some are not playing well, you can always replace Saju by Pant, Axar by Jadeja, Dube by Hardik and even add Chahal and Arshdeep.

Happy for Sanju. Sad for Ruturaj and Sandeep sharma. Sandeep wpuld have shared death bowling burden from Bumrah. Now Bumrah would have to do the heavylift at the death.

How pant got selected ?? Played over 60 matches and averaging 25 with strike rate of 125

I like the Australian mindset, they never select the team out of reputation, mathew wade wasn't selected for odi world cup, he is far more senior than Josh Inglis. They play to win, Hence they win every tournament. Indians are emotional people, so they taste emotional losses as well

Feels bad for Rinku Singh who did nice in whatever limited opportunities he got on international level. Its not Rinku Singh's loss its team India's loss.

The lower middle order is not good going with hardhik and jadeja .... Need an explosive 🧨 player who can finish high

1)R sharma 2)V Kohli 3)S Samson 4)Sky 5)S Dube 6)H Pandya 7)R Jadeja 8)K Yadav 9)J Bumrah 10)Y. Chahal 11)A Singh

My Final Squad 1. Rohit Sharma (C) 2. Yashaswi Jaiswal 3. Suryakumar Yadav 4. Virat Kohli 5. Hardik Pandya 6. Rinku Singh 7. K. L. Rahul (wk) 8. Ravindra Jadeja 9. Kuldeep Yadav 10. Jasprit Bumrah (VC) 11. T. Natrajan 12. Bhuvaneshwar Kumar 13. Shivam Dube 14. Arshdeep Singh 15. Axar Patel 16*. Rishabh Pant (wk) 17*. Shreyas Iyer 18*. Ravi Bishnoi 19*. Rituraj Gaikwad In Contention for a 30 Person Squad: Venkatesh Iyer, Harshal Patel, Tilak Varma, Mayank Yadav, Umran Malik, Yuzvendra Chahal, Washington Sundar, Mohammad Shami (injured), Sandeep Sharma, Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Varun Chakravarthy, Shardul Thakur, Mohammad Siraj

It's astonishing to see so many people in comments are counting this IPL as a standard for selection. This IPL is one of the most imbalanced show of cricket with nothing to offer for the bowlers. No swing no spin, a belter track. Wickets are not going to be like this in World Cup. You don't judge a batsman based on his ability in a flat deck, you also need experience in a team to handle pressure situation. IPL performance should not be the only parameter of judgement.

Remove : One of Rohit or Virat, Sky, Pandya, Siraj, Arshdeep and one of Jadeja /Axar Add : Abhishek, Rinku, Rituraj, Natarajan, Sandeep, Mayank Yadav The only time we won WT20, we had a young team playing for us. We are carrying too many veterans this time

Why not use Samson instead of Dube? We've seen Samson play in field, he's also a fantastic fielder. Playing both Sanju and Pant could be a decent combo

Dube and Rinku are not competing for the same place. Rinku is a finisher who can play in any situation. Excellent in tricky chases and calm head under the pressue.

My 11 would be 1. Rohit 2. Kohli 3. Dube 4. Surya 5. Pant 6. Pandya 7. Jaedja 8. Kuldeep 9. Chahal 10. Bumrah 11. Arshdeep

This is the Team the selectors have chosen.. India is a Champion side and it's time to support Team India and hope for the Best.... We are Def overdue an icc championship

Sir.. you were making a remark that Dubey’s performance in IPL rightly makes him to be selected ahead of Rinku.. likewise - should be not have dropped Siraj and picked T Natarajan instead - given the relative performance .. do you think it is favoritism and is not based on performance given that Rohit / Kohli / Dravid and Agarkar influencing this … ( RCB and MI influence). Rituraj is in top 5 on Orange cap but we have picked Gill in Reserve… how do you explain that ?

My dream team based on ipl2024 - 1.Abhishek sharma 2.Ruturaj gaukwad 3.Sanju samson v/c 4.Shivam dube 5.Shashank singh. 6.rishabh pant (wk) 7.Ravindra jadeja. 8.yuzvendra chahal 9.kuldeep yadav 10.jasprit bumrah - captain 11.T natrajan / sandeep sharma

Dube played well in IPL whereas Rinku played well in international matches. So this selection means IPL is major criteria for team selection than international matches??

1. Rohith 2. Virat 3. Pant 4. Surya kumar yadhav 5. Dube 6. Jadeja 7. Hardhik 8. Kuldeep 9. Bumrah 10. Siraj 11. Arshdeep

Wasim jaffer - did hardik, jadeja, sky, rohit outplay other potential players in this edition of ipl😂🙏??

Replace hardik Pandya, Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Jadeja with Rinku Singh, Natarajan and Sandeep sharma or Mayank yadav and Ravi Bishnoi. Bowling unit is very weak for this T20 squad. Siraj and Arshdeep are a joke in T20s. 😂

Most Likely 1. Jaiswal 2. Rohit 3. Kohli 4. Surya 5. Rishab 6. Hardik 7. Jadeja/Axar/Dube (Dube moves up the order to bat) 8. Yadav 9. Chahal 10. Arshadeep 11. Bumrah Samson will play a key role if any of the top 5 has an injury or form issue. Select the best team and win the cup.

until virat and rohit are in the team its impossible for india to win world cup

Rohit, Yashasvi, Virat, Sky, Sanju, Hardik, Jadeja, Chahal, Bumrah, Arshadeeep, Siraj

1) Rohit 2) Jaiswal 3) Kohli 4) SKY 5) Dube 6) Pant 7) Hardik 8) Axar/ Jadeja 9) Kuldeep 10) Bumrah 11) Arshdeep This 11 would be ideal according to squad selected

Top 5 issues with the squad: 1. Doesn't make sense to have 4 spinners in the squad. Should replace Axar / Jadeja with Abhishek Sharma & Yuzvendra Chahal with Riyan Parag. Abhishek Sharma & Riyan Parag provide sufficient spinning options while also providing solid batting depth. 2. Pant in no manner has been able prove himself in T20Is with excessive opportunities given. 66 matches ; 22.43 average ; 126.37 SR.! To give context on the number of opportunities given to Pant, Pant has played 10th highest number of T20I matches in the history of Indian cricket! Would have chosen Dinesh Karthik over him. 3. Mohammad Siraj is definitely not a T20 bowler. Aside from Arshdeep, Mayank Yadav is the only potential bowler who has the ability to be a genuine 2nd pacer beside Bumrah. 4. The current squad definitely lacks a bonafide and reliable finisher! No player in the country has the pedigree to match Rinku Singh's ability to finish games. 5. The selection of the Indian team seems to have been done very conservatively and timidly without considering to give opportunities to new but more deserving talent. Unselected India Objectively Ideal WC 15 squad: India WC 15 squad: Ruturaj Gaikwad Abhishek Sharma Shubhman Gill (C) Virat Kohli Abhishek Sharma Sanju Samson (W) Riyan Parag Suryakumar Yadav Tilak Varma Shivam Dube Rinku Singh Hardik Pandya Dinesh Karthik (W) Rinku Singh Deepak Chahar Ravindra Jadeja Harshit Rana Kuldeep Yadav Ravi Bishnoi Jasprit Bumrah Mayank Yadav Mayank Yadav ----------------------------- ------------------------------ Prabhsimran Singh (W) Dinesh Karthik (W) Nitish Kumar Reddy Rohit Sharma (C) Shahbaz Ahmed Arshdeep Singh Venkatesh Iyer Riyan Parag

Rohit Kohli Sky Dube Samson/Pant Pandya Jadeja Axar Arshdeep Bumrah Siraj

A) HAPPY FOR 1) sanju 2)shivam Dubey 3) Yajvendar chahal, they deserve in playing 11. B) BUT VERY POOR PACE ATTACK. Bhumra will not get proper support from other end. Why No spot for - 1) Bhuvneshwar kumar 2) Mayank yadav, 3)Harsit Rana C) Batsman inform not selected 1)Rituraj, 2) KL Rahul, 3)Riyan Prag, 4)Rinku Singh 5) Dinesh Karthik D) BUT Selectors Favourite players performance doesn't matter --- 1) Hardik Pandiya ( Vice captain-- why ? 2) Ravindra jadeja 3) Mohammad siraj 4)Arshdeep Singh 5) Avesh khan. Despite poor performance by few players in every world cup they get selected.

Pant ka kaunsa lobby chalta hai bhai I dont know. Impact player ex factor bla bla bla. He performs great in test cricket but in t20 he is failure. We can see some players are selected based on reputation rather than their actual performance in international T20s.

The BCCI should not have made the u turn with respect to keeping out players like kholi and rohit out of t20i. Why on earth they are playing. Might get to a of useless runs and will have great averages but theirs runs will be either too slow with a lot of opportunity cost. An opportunity an young player like rinku Singh might have taken with far less balls faced. In the end that will be the difference between win and loss

Rohit Virat Pant/samson Surya Dubey Hardik Axar Kuldeep Chahal Siraj Bumrah If u have taken 4 spinnera play 3

Feels for many players who perform well in IPL 2024 😢

Rohit Kohli Sanju Surya Dube Pant Hardik Jadeja / Axar Kuldeep Bumrah Arshadeep If jaiswal plays sanju out If Rinku was there.. He should be there in place of hardik and bumrah should be vice captain

Only rooting for India because Sanju is finally playing in a world cup for the national team

Nice ODI team selected for #T20WorldCup2024

Rinku Singh ❤❤❤

Rohit Sharma Virat Kohli Sanju Samson Suryakumar Yadav Rishabh Pant Shivam Dube Hardik Pandya Ravindra Jadeja Kuldeep Yadav Jasprit Bumrah Arshdeep Singh

In T20 WC, if we have Virat and Rohit - we never win …they were there in last all WCs, India never won any WC with this duo and this is too heavy on MI and RBC players - who are unfortunately bottom 2 teams in IPL (that shows current form)

Who is the finisher??

Sadly almost same playing 11 = same result?

Best XI ROHIT JAISWAL KOHLI SURYA DUBE PANT HARDIK JADEJA KULDEEP BUMRAH ARSHDEEP All batters must go hell for leather (only 1 batter allowed to hold fort if any collapse) and bowlers need to be aggressive to look for wickets and not worry about the economy..

semi final knock out confirm for this squad... no fast bowling ...apart from boom

Sanju Samson over KL Rahul is the right call, because he adds lot of guts and glory to this batting side. The winning combination should be Rohit, Kohli, Samson, SKY and Dube.

UNSELECTED 11 1.ISHAN KISHAN 2.RUTURAJ GAIKWAD 3. ABHISHEK SHARMA 4. TILAK VERMA 5.RINKU SINGH 6. DK 7. R ASHWIN 8.Ravi Bishnoi 9. Mayank yadav. 10. T natrajan 11. Sandeep sharma

Lets hope Rohit doesnt get injured. Cant imagine the morale of the team if Pandya has to lead.

Guys, this is my India playing eleven, 1. Ruturj 2. Surya 3. Rohit (c) 4. Kohli 5. Rinku 6. samson 7. Jadeja 8. Bumrah 9. Chahal 10. Natrajan 11. Dube , Imagine this squad.

Kudos Raunak- youre possibly the only Indian commentator who has the guts to call out tricky issues like Kohlis strike rate, Pandya's leadership etc. Everyone else seems to be brown nosing their way to please the BCCI

My first playing XI Rohit Kohli Sky Dube Pant Pandya Axar Kuldeep Bumrah Arshdeep Chahal

Moody got it right India's lack of bowling options caused Dube to be picked ahead oh him but confusing as well cause he hasn't had a bowl in the IPL. A catch-22 😅

The worst pick in India's squad is Shubham Gill in Reserve. Rutu is better T20 player than gill

They say Batters win you games , Bowlers win you Tournaments. And they've gone with Arsedeep Singh who is nowhere close to international level & Mohammad Siraj who is more a Test Bowler. There are 6-7 pacers who are bowling better than these two. T Natarajan Sandeep Sharma Mayank Yadav Harshit Rana T Deshpande Mohsin Khan Avesh Khan , all of them are performing better in IPL .

Plz improve the sound quality.

Best discussion on the India squad. Excellent work!

Why in such a hurry to select a team....a lot of players in this list may get injured by the end of the IPL....Virat & Rohit must learn from Sachin...Rahul & Saurav who decided not to play WCT20 2007 and opted out....i am ok if a young team loses....it is not acceptable if a team with Virat & ROhit loses anymore

Siraj is in the good books of selectors where he makes an impact irrespective of his poor recent performances.

Worst team selection as usual. Rohit , jaddu, hardik and pant not in form. Instead we could have taken gaikwad, axar, rinku and jurel maybe. Arshdeep and siraj are in worst form. Instead we could have taken natarajan and honestly I felt sandeep sharma should have been given a chance seriously, every time he performs but never gets the deserved treatment. He even took 5 for against Mumbai now.

Respect For Rinku Singh Justice For Rinku Singh Sad For Rinku Singh

If we were to go with seniors 1) Rohit 2) Virat 3) Surya 4) Dube 5) pant 6) rinku 7) Hardik 8) Jadeja 9) Bumrah 10) Kuldeep 11) Axar / Singh

WC T20 is gone case. Poor Selection. I hope the Seniors say goodbye to T20Is after this & Focus on Tests. And for Zimbabwe and Onwards, I would like to see more of - 1. Yashasvi Jaiswal 2. Shubhman Gill 3. Sanju Samson (C) 4. Tilak Verma 5. Rinku Singh 6. Riyan Parag 7. Axar Patel 8. Rahul Chahar 9. Harshit Rana 10. Mayank Yadav 11. T Natrajan 12. Ruturaj Gaikwad 13. Sai Sudarshan 14. Washington Sundar 15. Avesh Khan

India should go to World Cup, with two teams. They have so so many options.😂😂😂😂😂

R u working with Hakan Grill

To be frank, I think Rinku should be in the squad in place of yuzi. Not only Rinku is the best six hitter in India but also a gun fielder… I know Yuzi deserves the place with his bowling skills but overall team point of view … it’s India’s loss that we not picked Rinku

This is sanjus world cup

I have only one question why do we need two left spinners of the same kind..... Which cost Rinku's place in squad

Rinku's stat in t20 average 89,strike rate 175. Does anyone have more average or strike rate in current selected team?

T.Natarajan or Tushar Deshpande should be in the reserve instead of Avesh khan.

Nattu is better than siraj right now. Even better than Arshdeep. Our bowling if we go with Arshdeep and siraj we ll get tonkered

India will get through the Group stage just fine. Might even top the Group. But in the Super 8s, India might well have to face, New Zealand, South Africa and England. Or worse, New Zealand, South Africa and Australia. India will get rogered there....

Don't want rohit and kohli in t20 Want ruturaj and gill

After Rohit KL or Bumrah should be Skipper.

urprising to see batsman with 80Avg and 170+ strike rate in reserve and payers with out of form are given VC and players with lesser strike rate are in main 15. India need a finisher who can sail through towards end when team is in tough situation and Rinku has done that may times at international level as well as in in IPL. Looking at our top players current form looks like T20 World cup will be nightmare this year!! :)

@17:51 pandiya only in Coz of Mumbai quota...😏🙃🤦.

Rohit Vk Sky Dube Hardik Rinku Jadeja Dk Kuldeep Bumrah T.natarajan S.sharma A.Singh Rutu

India made the blunder by not picking RINKU SINGH will cost them in big matches. Another heart break is waiting for all our fans

Surprised that there was no word on *rohit* awful WT20 record as a batsmen.

I think T20 format should be left to young players. Just like 2007 T20 would cup. Seniors must step out

Mr. #WasimJaffer, and Team, #espncricinfo I respectfully disagree with your assertion regarding the roles and responsibilities of players Rinku, Dube, and Nattu within the team structure. Each player occupies a distinct role, with Rinku designated for the finishing order and Dube as a top order (4), It is essential to recognize that Rinku's strengths lie within the finishing order, and advocating for his promotion to the top order may not align with his skill set. Furthermore, the inclusion of Khaleel Ahmed and Arsheed Singh raises questions, particularly in light of the presence of Nattu, who has proven to be an exemplary death bowler under current conditions Econ: less than 10. Considering the match dynamics, fielding four spinners appears improbable, especially in day matches and specific pitch conditions. The decision-making process warrants scrutiny, particularly concerning the omission of Rudraj and the selection of Siraj over potentially more effective alternatives like Nattu and Sandeep Sharma. The discrepancy in selection choices against specific opponents, such as Shubman Gill, raises concerns about the overall strategy. While recognizing the complexities of team selection, it is imperative to address discrepancies candidly rather than whitewashing the situation. The recent selection decisions, in my opinion, fall short of expectations and merit constructive evaluation for future matches. Apologies for any directness in my language, but I believe honesty is essential in such discussions.

Happy for Sanju Samsung Dubey Arshdeep 😅

Gill, Khaleel and Hardik's selection in the team sums up the Selector's mindset for this worldcup.

The worst thing about this team is Pandya being VC. Bumrah or Sky should have been VC

Haa bhai bura mat maana lekin Kohli phir top scorer rahega 138 ke S/R k saath but India haar jaegi Haar baar ke jaise 😂. Aus/Eng wale top 5 runscorers ke list mai bhi shayad na honge lekin WC jeet jaenge

Hardik siraj and jadeja and pant never deserve this squad
