I simply googled it

Admittedly, my Hindi isnt that great!

I come from the Western part, mate. We don't use Hindi as often as the Northern part of the nation does.

You belong to the BCCI! I am quite appalled that they cannot arrange a series with SA/NZ/ENg/Aus right before the World Cup

This team is a joke! Same line up as last time barring Ruturaj. Kohli and Sharma should rest if they were in top of their form not when they both are the weakest link in the team. Also there are 5 T20's after this, rest in the meaningless T20's, why rest in ODI's?

Reason why Aussies and English keep winning and India do not cross the line to get a cup.

Didn’t they say those two would return in this game or am I dreaming?

Despite that we should still be winning with the team on paper.

I don’t think the duo are in the T20I squad.

Like I said, they're scared of Kyle Mayers - hiding down at 7 & 8 and then hiding out in the dugout.

I have given up hope!
