The 11 showed was excellent imo but the selectors in india will not have the confidence or the courage to remove rohit or kohli

Jarrod's XI reminds me of thr Champions Trophy 2013 squad- 3 to 4 big names at best with rest of the 7-8 youngsters that know exactly the role they're expected to play. And we won that trophy. If it's been done before, surely it can be done again.

This is the perfect end to an excellent series with spot-on analysis, especially emphasizing the conservative mindset. One can only hope that the likes of Shaw, Samson and SKY don’t ‘evolve’ into anchors, like what happened with Rohit, Rahul, Virat, and now Pant and Hardik. (Perhaps, IPL captaincy has something to do with it?). Due to their recent performances in World Cups, not many would remember that Rohit holds the record for the fastest T20I hundred (35 balls), Rahul holds the record for the fastest 50 in the IPL (14 balls), and Virat holds the record for the fastest ODI hundred by an Indian (52 balls). Indian cricket has a unique way of turning aggressive players into accumulators. Jarrod hit the nail on the head when he said that the fear of failure is the primary cause of India’s failure.

This is what MS Dhoni did and although he got lot of criticism for dropping senior players but he also managed to win big tournaments

Absolute genius Jarrod. Loved the entire series!!

The thing you said about casual fans is absolutely true. I've seen people come up with insane talking points about why we aren't winning tournaments. These people blame IPL and many other things, but we're not failing because of IPL. Every cricket fan knows that.

honestly the 11 you showed perfectly demonstrated something india could try out especially with someone like ashwin at 9. love all these vids

So many questions about Virat Kohli and the rest of the Indian batting for that game against England. I'll try and simplify the entire 11's performance from a fan's perspective. Kl Rahul- Out of form. We assume his wicket will fall during the powerplay and hence, we don't worry too much if he gets out. Anything he scores is bonus runs. Rohit Sharma- Out of form. Same as KL, although with a hope that he might come back into his own and start scoring fast runs again. But again, at the start of every innings, we already assume his wicket will fall. Virat Kohli - We hit panic mode when his wicket falls. We expect him to take the innings through and be our insurance against yet another batting collapse. The only problem with him was the failure to accelerate at the end against England. If he had batted along with Hardik till the end, India would have got 190. But then again, even that wouldn't have been enough. Suryakumar Yadav - We expect a lot of fireworks. But we also know he might fall at any time. He is exactly how we feel about Rishab Pant in tests. Again, we know he will fall to a good ball but we don't really mind that because his job is to come and score at 170+. Hardik Pandya - Probably the most of our hopes lie on him. When the middle order collapses, we expect him to anchor. When the middle order does it's job, we expect him to provide fireworks. His wicket hurts us the most, even more than Kohli or SKY. Rishab Pant - Again, if he scores, well and good. If he doesn't, we don't mind it a lot because again, we don't think of him to be a dependable strokemaker. R Ashwin - two sixes or three fours. That's it. With the ball, all we want is for him to give less than 28 runs. That's it. R Ashwin is more valuable for us in tests. Axar Patel - Same as Ashwin. We also expect 1-2 wickets. We get to know when he will take wickets and when he will not. He will get wickets either by getting the batsmen to cut from the stumps or getting them to drive in the v when he's turning the ball. B Kumar- Max 6 rpo. Few wickets at the top. Ideally we would like to see him bowl out within 14 overs. He has lost his midas touch at the death and it doesn't look like coming back anytime soon. Mohammad Shami - He will leak some runs but will also get us wickets. That's what we expect of him. Most of his runs are going to be flicks off the legs. Arshdeep Singh - Wickets, dot balls and good yorkers at the end. But to be really, really honest. We knew from the start of the tournament that this bowling attack was really weak. I don't know what clicked for them but something did. We expected every team to bat the way England batted. It's just that during the league phase, something clicked for the bowlers that didn't let the batsmen score freely.

Such an amazing MIC DROP analysis spoke the truth

Lots of love and kudos to you Jarrod. Thanks for this amazing masterpiece. Onward and upwards 🙌❤️

Brilliant series Jarrod! Highly illuminating. 🙏

Something about the conservative mindset and not building a system to allow your player go out is because its Indian culture. We Indian with highest percentage of young people are run by older people. You can see it in Indian family. If we will not try new things how we will grow. If we fail we will learn. Rigidity in any case is harmful. 2nd point the star things. It's present in all over India, we are obsessed with hero. You can see it in Indian film industry. BCCI approach is also the same. They don't look to build a team but a individual who can serve as a captain of all formats. And hence we can see that they give chances to one particular individual more than other because they see this individual as the torch bearer/star/hero of Indian cricket in coming future. So much marketing around Kohli, so much chances to Rohit and Rahul that we almost forgot the key players who also contributed. Concentration of power or money or fame at one place is harmful.

I really like your videos! I'm an Indian fan and understand the amount of pressure on team and management makes them take the Conservative approach.

Amazing series...

I thought similar xi’s would have worked when kohli was going through that phase but the reality is every team needs one anchor/ crunch situation player and that’s who kohli is. It’s what stokes was in the final. Also I personally think sky should open - give your best batsman the most amount of balls, rather than hoping he can save you in the middle overs. Honestly a sky kohli partnership opening might just be what the doctor ordered.

Spot on!!

I love your reformative idea of Indian players being allowed to play other leagues even under whatever stipulations the BCCI need. But even something as small as having a “traveling IPL” could theoretically work. We know the IPL was a huge success playing in Dubai. So why not Australian? England? WI and US to prepare for the World Cup? Also loved the ending, wish I could show this to every Indian team fan about failure. Good job!

One problem that I have observed is taking the same core of players in icc tournaments for the last decade . Mixing a few youngsters and chopping a few superstars could have helped.

I would love to hear you discuss these ideas with Harsha. Issues highlighted by you are quite obvious but the problem is not identification but what is stopping Indian cricket board to implement these ideas. One problem you haven't highlighted here is the interference by broadcasters in Indian team selection and match scheduling. When a broadcaster pays top dollar for the telecast rights which is a very aggressive pricing to recover, they force BCCI to select top stars who draw viewership. It doesn't matter if team is unit or not, it must have big names so their fans tune in when they play. That's why big decisions like dropping Rohit and Kohli from T20 setup is next to impossible. Also the dark truth of scheduling. India when plays abroad is forced to have an schedule which is television viewership friendly. Means having the match timings which go into night and during weekends. Playing top teams early so early TRP's can be generated. These are dark secrets of Indian cricket which no one talks about. 🤔

That's a very good conclusion Jarrod, just a respectful counter I think even PAK style is pretty much same most run by openers/ preservation of wicket but still they are doing wonderful (part of it is luck and tosses in '21 WC) but still they are better team with same approach

Will never understand how hooda features here. He isn't a hitter. He played 6-7 years as a finisher with 100 sr. One season doesn't change that.

The worst part of this series is that BCCI won't really notice this quality analysis and even if they do.... well they wont do shit

How is this guy not an analyst in a major domestic or international team yet?

Great analysis Jarrod, Great series. I wish BCCI would go this aggressive in selection in the future.

I really enjoyed this series, can we please have something similar for Australia or West Indies who also underperformed. Also do you have any plans on releasing a preview video for the upcoming IPL season?

Cannot agree more.

As an outside perspective, the hard ban on Indian players, and particularly those not on central contracts, from participating in T20 leagues around the world, is just puzzling. Indian talent is just going to get stagnant without exposure to other conditions around the world. Let's take Sanju Samson as an example. He's a fringe player who barely plays international cricket anymore (due to whatever reasons, not important in this discussion), and is such a waste just rotting away in the Indian domestic circuit. If he's next to no chance to play, why isn't he playing in the English Vitality Blast? Or the Big Bash? Or the Carribean Premier League? We've seen such rich dividends from the Indian women from playing particularly in Australia. Mandhana, Kaur, Deepti just to name a few, all gained vital experience prior to the world cup a couple years ago in Australia, which led directly to them beating Australia in that opening game there.

It's not the South Africa zone mate, it's the BlackCaps zone. Even when they play out of their skins and get to the final of a tournament, it's usually a one off or they choke at the last. Consistently 5th best ranked team in the world, except when weird formats or bookings go their way. You just wouldn't count on them to beat anyone consistently everywhere. Lots of home field advantage, but go to India, England or especially Australia and they suddenly forget how to play and turn into a whipping boy. There are constant calls for leadership heads to roll after a tour failure, and when things are going well, it's usually by the skin of the teeth rather than an allround dominant team performance. Some world class players on their day, but not enough, often enough to develop a top of the top tier team.

The thing when ppl say IPL is a problem is because, The lineup u mentioned gets completely flipped at the end of this tournament. and ppl/selectors don't understand whom to pick.

Brilliant analysis Jarrod. You are the best.!!! Don't see it being implemented by BCCI anytime soon. We will be same stat padding team in ICC tournaments. (Don't see Bhuvi in the team listed out by Jarrod. Did I miss anything?)

Dude I'm missing on watching cricket matches coz of college but not on u ,stats can be addictive..

Please like this video guys just 33 likes at the moment. This channel actually deserves more appreciation and Views.

Indian team and fans made pant a test specialist and a slow batter in white ball. That RISHABH PANTTT And they say do we need pant That's the failure of Indian team in limited over

This is such a great analysis of the team! We are not going to win a world cup with a conservative approach.

Excellent stuff, Jarrod. Meanwhile Kohli, Rohit and Rahul are dropped for the next series. It's popcorn time. 😀

I can see another video on this KZfaq channel after 2023 odi world cup bcoz india beeter odi side then T20 that'expections put pressure even more and then we know even in odi cricket we are behind froom some teams as jerod kimber said india cannot loose

Hi Jarrod 💕💗

Apart from your valid points - apart from jaddu, which of the Indians are ready to play even for their franchise teams at no 5 or lower?

You should add Ishan and Shreyas for Rahul

India's best 11 includes Kohli Disappointed that you dropped Kohli from your suggested 11. Surely, India has too many anchors at the top and that needs to change. But, if we're going to have one such batsman, it should be Kohli, who has excelled in that role (and not Rahul). Let's also not forget that he has performed under pressure even against top-quality sides (Pakistan at MCG most recently). Without his bail-out acts, India probably wouldn't even have made it to the semi-finals. He would be like Stokes in the current England team - the banker for crunch situations. He may bat slowly compared to others, but takes them home when it matters (and when others fail). Also, players like Rahul Tripathi have done reasonably well in IPL but they have hardly played any cricket outside India (or Asia) and are yet to be tested against top international teams in challenging conditions. To replace Kohli, a proven performer, with untested players wouldn't be in India's interest (that too when he's back in form).

I follow nearly every cricket game played by the Indian cricket team and i am pleasently surprised with the quality of the so called second string team, which plays and win bilateral series against strong opponents, and shocked by the conservative team which is selected for ICC tournaments.

I totally agree with most of the things in this video. Indian fans are a huge problem, they criticise the team in and out but we need to look within. We ourselves want that perfection which gives a cultural rise to traditional anchors in the format where perfection is not a thing. My ideal XI rn would be - 1. R Gaikwad/KL Rahul/S Gill (Mandatory anchor) 2. R Tripathi/P Shaw (Aggressive opener) 3. S Samson (Pant needs to prove it in IPL and Kishan had a hot and cold season last year) 4. SKY 5. H Pandya 6. R Tewatia/D Hooda/W Sundar (Tewatia is the only 6 we have right now) 7. Jadeja (If not fit then Sundar should come in without questions) 8. D Chahar/H Patel (Wicket taking option with some batting) 9. Bumrah 10. Arshdeep/U Malik/A Khan (This has to be looked at and will depend on the combinations) 11. Y Chahal/R Chahar/R Bishnoi [Multiple players in single position are in order of preference]

Rohit and Virat won't be removed from team. Because: 1 commentators like Sunil gavaskar - "how can you remove him. He is such a main part of the team" 2. Every fan who wants to wage war on twitter undermining the fact that rohit sharma in 2007 was youngster given a chance. 3. Star culture. 4. Mumbaikar lobby which needs to he checked which might circle back to 1. 5. Ipl madness.

What if, and hear me out here, Kohli reinvents himself as a full time T20 finisher- he has such good numbers at the death already, but more importantly he can read slower balls better than anyone and he hates leggies hehe. Thank you for the content :) - I would love a thought or opinion on this!

Indian cricket is the same as English football. Biggest leagues in the world but don't win big trophies as their national teams follow conservative tactics and aren't flexible enough and are scared to make much needed changes.

One other reason missed out is in IPL every team picks an overseas person for no. 2 , no. 5, no. 6, no. 7 invariably. Wud that mean Indian players aren't fitting these roles??

And One more baffling thing during this world cup was India chose to bat first after winning the toss. Prior to the World Cup, in almost every match, India chose to chase. A sudden change prior to the tournament shows a lack of clarity and a muddled approach.

Rahul tripathi ,Rajat patidar ,Jitesh sharma ,Dev padikkul (rate him highly ) are talented and hav powerful ball striking ability. The problem is these players will keep sitting on the bench and superstars will keep failing .

I think things will only change after 3-4 years when all the 'super stars' retire. Before that I can not see ICC dropping anyone of them.

They did have an alternative from the t20 world-cup 2022 squad to try out a similar XI like yours, but sadly it didn't happen:- Rohit KL Rahul SKY Hardik Dinesh Karthik Axar Chahar Harshal Arshdeep Yuzi

Where Kohli?

ek do teen chaar, jarood kimber.........

How come they let Indians play County but not franchise leagues?

Funny to see the Indian Cricket team holds up to the Indian cultural values of conservatism😂

We are gonna look back on this in 2043 when India has just failed to qualify for the world cup and think the time is ripe for experimentation.

Somehow India team has lost confidence after Dhoni's exit. They did not find a unit who will be as dangerous as Australia was once. They did not find a captain with a good leadership skills. Either they are paralysed by their own analysis or by fear of losing but they are trusting their new latents and thus had to rely on older ones.

You missed Ishan Kishan... But fabulously done analysis...

Only 700 like…

Replace Rahul with Kohli, Kohli has been the sole performer in all icc tournaments. It's not wise to displace him for tripathi. What do you want from Kohli after playing the best game ever in Melbourne. 🤦. He is the only Indian batsman who can handle quality bowling attack. This sounds like a conspiracy from Jarrod. I'm not even a Kohli fan, but lost respect on Jarrod's analysis. Thought you are one of the best cricket analysts.

India don't fail as often as other teams, at least in bilaterals. And when they DO fail, they don't try to learn from it, believing that tried and tested methods will produce results eventually. Ironically, the people that taught them this mindset have moved on to a far more aggressive strategy and are now the undisputed white ball World Champions.

Sorry jarrod I don't agree with you England not dominating world cricket at the moment you can't say IND can't match Englands level and IND at best can match australia and new zealand so in your opinion IND can't reach the level of England sorry I again don't agree with you west Indies also win 2 T20 world cups that's doesn't mean west Indies dominate T20 cricket and australia also win the last T20 world cup but australia can't reach semi finals 2022 T20 world cup...

BCCI will never drop Rohit and Kohli, they are more comfortable at wasting Shaw's talent.

Ishan for rahul

What if IPL was conducted all around the world? Perhaps each season BCCI could try to schedule it in different venues, say Australia,England , Westindies etc This is why I hope the old Champions Trophy T20 comes back

india's problem lies in bowling not in batting.

Jarrod india far better T20 side then Pakistan

KL Rahul one of the worst big game player in history of cricket.

Why can't India send 2 teams to the World Cup ? New Zealand with a population of 5 million gets to have a representation of 11 players and INDIA with 1.4 billion people also gets the same representation. 🤔 I mean how is this fair ?🙄 And where is this rule written that one nation can have only one team ? Going by this dumb logic had the partition of 1947 not happened, there would be 2 less teams in international cricket today. 😅 Just imagine if European Union 🇪🇺 was one country then the entire Europe would have only 1 team playing in the FIFA World Cup. 🙄 You can't compare INDIA to other small countries. INDIA is 1/6th of humanity. INDIA is a continent in itself. (Same goes for China) Indian players have to play under a lot of pressure. Firstly the pressure of expectations of the fans of this cricket mad nation and secondly the pressure of being in the team when there is an equally talented and deserving guy sitting out. No other country's players have to go through this kind of pressure. So the only way to reduce this pressure is by sending 2 🇮🇳 teams to the World Cup. Just imagine 2 Indian teams in two different groups of the World Cup with one sporting the dark blue jersey and the other wearing the light blue jersey. I don't think the ICC will have any objection either. India contributes to almost 80% of the revenue earned by the ICC and with 2 Indian teams the ICC can make more money out of it. So it's a win-win for everyone. 😅 This is the only solution. Food for thought 🤔 Hey Jarrod, I don't know whether you read the comments or not but if you do, would love to know your opinion. 🙏🏼
