Venues

Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati
Nice pitch to bat with some even bounce & carry for the bowlers with slight turn on offer. A perfect pitch for some competitive T20 action


holkar stadium.jpg

Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore
Flat pitch with decent bounce and short 60-meter boundaries. Not much help for the bowlers. An absolute graveyard for bowlers in T20 format

Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune
One of the bounciest pitches in India which favours batsman. Slight seam on offer for the quicker bowlers with decent turn for spinners.

Since Bhuvneshwar Kumar is injured he isn't included in the squad. Jasprit Bumrah comes back to the Indian team after returning from a major injury that he suffered during India tour of West Indies in August, 2019. Dhawan also makes a comeback from injury. Quite surprised Shami is being left out for someone like Shardul Thakur after performing so well in the limited overs format in the recent times. But I think Shardul would be quite comfortable using his knuckle ball in this format. Also quite surprised that Deepak Chahar is left out.

PS: Just came to know that Deepak Chahar is injured and is likely to be unavailable till April 2020

Saini bowled with some incredible pace today. Great to see him do well after a long time. Wonderful pace and accuracy, some great bowling. Kohli continues his rich vein of form of scoring at a high strike rate. Once again nice start from Rahul while Dhawan continues to struggle. Unfortunately Pant did not get to bat today.

I think I read he was rested, not dropped.

I'm loving the team selection. Rishabh Pant went from being the first choice keeper in all formats to being dropped from tests and is now 'rested' from the white ball stuff to give Samson a chance.

He has played 1 ball in the series for 1 run. Great prep for someone who at the moment looks like our first choice keeper bat for the upcoming WC!

What was happening around number 4 for the 2019 CWC is now happening around number 5 for the 2020 WT20.

I think KL and Sharma are sealed at the top with Dhawan as reserve opener. 3 is sealed. 4 will be a travesty if it's not Iyer. I will be absolutely gutted if Pant isn't in the XI. He is our most destructive force. Even if Dhoni decides to come back, Pant has to play just as a batter.

I'm simply amazed at today's exclusion of Pant!

The entire Country has been literally shedding tears with the issues regarding selection and it is very much obvious with the performance of the team every now and then. It don't know what credibility the selectors around the world have to give out ridiculous reasons for dropping their players. Just Yesterday I got to know that Usman Khawaja have been dropped from the Australian side that is going to tour India. I can't believe it, just can't ! How can you drop a player typically made for subcontinent conditions while touring the subcontinent as an Overseas team without proper reasoning ?

Glad to see Saini finally receive a run of games. He has improved his variations and seems to be using his pace in a more effective way. Should be really handy on those Aussie pitches. A must pick for the WC IMO.

@Nilay_60 Khawaja’s exclusion sure is harsh, but realistically would he be getting a game ahead of the current opening duo? He isn’t as good when he doesn’t open and take advantage of the powerplay boundaries. I would personally have him ahead of Finch but considering that he has been a good captain, that is surely impossible.
