Thoughts on our t20 wc squad :
Thank God Sanju, Jaiswal and Yuzi are in main 15.
It's mostly a very safe team... But here's a few concerns :
Bowlers. Siraj and arshdeep kitne form mein hai... We all know. And they dropped mukesh. We don't have any off spinner too.
Rishab Pant will be first priority as wk... And his t20I record is not good man.
He has played 66 t20i matches and his strike rate is 126 💀
I really hope after his recovery he has turned a new leaf and his performance will be better but... Yk.
Then Jadeja. 126 strike rate in 66 matches. And he's our finisher. 😭
Then Hardik Pandya. His performance in Ipl after he recovered from injury has been appalling. All I can do is pray he magicallly gets better and performs.
Other teams will have players like klassen, salt, Travis, etc.
We have Hardik and Jadeja.
And the guy who has a strike rate of 176 in t20I.....we have kept him reserved.
He will run around and hand over water bottles to others. 🙄
As for gill being in the reserve.... It makes perfect sense.
Jaiswal has a strike rate of 161 and gill has 148. Obviously Jaiswal is the better option.
And as for picking ruturaj or ishan ishan instead of gill for backup opener....
Well ishan has played 32 matches and has a strike rate of 124.
And Ruturaj has a strike rate of 140 in 19 matches.
So gill is a better choice as a backup opener.
It just pisses me off coz the selectors don't have complete faith on anyone and it really shows.
They don't fully trust the senior players...and they are not brave enough to completely let youngsters take the reigns.
Anyways.... Jo bhi hai yahi hai.
Really hope that we win this time because rohit, virat, Jadeja, Hardik, Rishab.... They all have a lot at stake and this might be the last wc they are playing in t20 format atleast.
