West Indies tour of India Dec-2019

[NILAYSHAH60]

I am literally knocking my nails down for this line-up right since our series against West Indies in August this year

Rohit Sharma
KL Rahul
Virat Kohli
Shreyas Iyer
Rishabh Pant
Ravindra Jadeja
Hardik Pandya
Bhuvneshwar Kumar/ Deepak Chahar
Kuldeep Yadav
Yuzvendra Chahal
Jasprit Bumrah

We have all our bases covered in this team right from batting to bowling and our fielding along with bowling combination and power hitters. But who the hell in the Indian team cares about ?

If we are looking forward to WT20 this is the sort of pitch we are going to get. So a bit of dress rehearsal there for the WT20 today.[DOUBLEPOST=1576072179][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh well that shot from Rahul !!! A length ball that he cuts it over point for Six. Looks so confident when he is playing T20Is.

I've said it before. And I'll say it again. Shami isn't suited for T20s. Leaks a hell lot of runs on average.

Another failure for Pant..

Wonder if a break is what he needs instead of the extra attention and public backing. If you are out of nick, such public support from team can become a burden more than support

I hope our fielding issues are sorted out in this game. Really need a good performance in the field if we have to win on this outfield while chasing

Sanju Samson should be Included in place of pant

Angry Kohli is the best Kohli. Beast mode on!

This should be it for Dhawan in T20Is for quite some time.

I've said it before. And I'll say it again. Shami isn't suited for T20s. Leaks a hell lot of runs on average.

It's just that he lacks variation for a T20 game. He has a good bumper and can also bowl a mean yorker but his yorkers are not very consistent. His skiddy action also doesn't help him because it makes bowl come on to bat pretty nicely. He is a wicket-taker however which might bring him in the contention especially since Khaleel didn't start the season well and Saini is still an unknown territory.

70 of 29 balls!!! VK took India to 240!!!

I must say that this innings of Kohli has to be his best in T20 Cricket. Infact this knock of his is better than all 5 T20 hundreds he has got to his name. This knock is followed by his innings against Australia in 2016 WT20 and his 100 with a broken hand in IPL.[DOUBLEPOST=1576077795][/DOUBLEPOST]Finally India have realised the importance of boundaries and sixes in this format.

Sanju Samson should be Included in place of pant

I would say instead let KL Rahul keep wickets and get a middle order batsman capable of hitting those big shots. Pant clearly needs time off his game now.

KL can do much better than pant

Good athleticism from Dube. What a great catch he took !! Indian fielding back at it's best today.

That 3rd game shows how much indispensable KL Rahul is becoming, to the T20 XI. He is the guy who can give us those rapid fast starts to propel our scores way higher and into the modern day T20 standards. And with him, Rohit also seems on an overdrive.

The shootout should be between Pant vs Samson and if Pant gets the nod, then Samson fights with Iyer and Manish for the the 2nd batting spot in the XI. Samson better get games ahead of the T20 WC if we need a proper backup keeper for that event (unless we are going back 100 steps by asking MSD to pad up).

Kohli needs to calm down. Hope Anushka's on top of his health checkups. Wondering where the guy's blood pressure is right now!
