Somehow I feel Pakistan or Sri Lanka might end up breaking this bat 1st and win the game thing.

Pakistan mostly since they have better bowlers will be difficult though.

Going into the world cup Arshdeep should be in the X! I feel.

Completely different conditions though.

Avesh Khan selection I feel was due to his ability to hit hard lengths which is ideal for Australian conditions. (But needs to be dropped given his recent performances).

The worrying sign is we still don't know our playing XI too many players resting before the series and slotting of certain players in the squad who are nowhere near the squad in the previous series are given a chance.

And the upcoming Australia and South Africa series might be a chance to rectify and have a stable XI atleast.

Aren’t we supposed to name our WT20 squad before those series’ though? No more time for experimentation in that case. Looks like the team is pretty set in stone anyway though, doubt anybody is getting dropped other than Avesh/Chahar being swapped for Bumrah and Harshal coming in for one of the spinners/Arshdeep. Shastri made the point of how illogical it was to not have an extra pacer in place of a spinner given the possibility of one of the pacers needing rest/injury and I can’t disagree with that. Would have loved to see us take another 140+ bowler to Australia alongside Bumrah but it looks like a pipe dream now.

Bring back Ravi Shastri
What a tweaking joke this ****er Kohli is. No matter how good a batsman you are, you are pathetic as a leader. You have destroyed Indian Cricket and as a fan I will never be able to forgive you and that drunk ****er Shastri for it. Now Saha is your best wicket keeper batsman? Wow! Well done

Before Dravid, we still produced fantastic cricketers at u-19 level. There is no point in producing great crickets who remain mediocre and ICC trophy less at international stage. The simple thing India needs is Kohli has to go as a captain and Shastri as a coach.. No captain or coach would stay on after losing World T20 2014, Champions Trophy 2017 2015 World Cup Semi Finals, 2016 World T20, 2019 World Cup Semi Finals and Test Championship 2021. How many more are we ready to let go?

Heck do not make Dravid the coach, leave him at what he is doing right now, but get rid of Shastri Kohli duo. What is the use of this solid bench strength?
Same old story. Rahane needs to score 20 to reach Rohits landmark performance :p I see another 5-0 in England and 4-0 in Australia. Although we picked our best team today, our best is still not the best. Yes we came close in the first two test but a loss is a loss. As @SaiSrini said Kohli wont enjoy the protection that Dhoni got as his ego pisses off the crowd as well now. Ganguly was aggressive too, but he built the team. Ravi Shastri definitely has to go as he is just a yes man to Kohli. Some serious nerf in power is needed from Kohli's hand. This is the only thing that will prevent him from being the best in world.

Why Deepak Chahar wasn't called urgently if avesh was fully injured
A small and important tournament can't be on hopes i guess

This is the worst thing you can do as a captain to a youngster. I haven't watched the match, can someone who has watched the match confirm this ?
