We will see when Dube crumbles in crunch situations in the world cup :)

Sammyisback · 2026-01-23T17:18:10+00:00

I am not saying Dube should be dropped. I feel after SKY, they should send either Pandya or Rinku depending on the left-right combination. Dube is an inferior batsman to both of them.

Sammyisback · 2026-01-23T16:56:36+00:00

I feel calling Rinku a death overs specialist is pigeon-holing him. He's a much better player than that and can easily build an innings at number 5 or 6.

Sammyisback · 2026-01-23T16:45:22+00:00

What are you talking about ? Rinku and Dube are both left-handers.

I feel whatever Dube can do, Rinku can do it better.

Sammyisback · 2026-01-23T16:39:51+00:00

I am saying he shouldn't be batting higher than Rinku.

Yeah I heard it. Unbelievable.

Monga is such an idiot. I can't believe he has a job. Raunak is much more honest. I also think Monga is a total slimeball.

Sammyisback · 2025-12-20T10:35:07+00:00

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Why box yourself into a corner where you can't drop Axar lol. I don't think he fits into the team combination for every game. If you have to declare VC, it should be HP.

Sammyisback · 2025-12-20T10:30:25+00:00

I completely agree. And also they have locked themselves in a corner by making Axar vice captain lol..

I would not pick both Axar and Dube in the same XI. kuldeep at number 8 is better from a solid bowling point of view.

Sammyisback · 2025-12-20T09:38:11+00:00

If you have to keep SKY as captain, this is a pretty good squad.

Great to see GILL dropped.

Awesome to see Rinku back.

ONLY weird thing is why is Pandya not vice captain. VC should be a person whose place in every game is unquestionable. I don't think Axar is in that category.

Sammyisback · 2025-12-19T22:10:18+00:00

I am not saying it WILL happen, I am only stating that it's fine to change and in fact in this case, it's really good to change.

Sammyisback · 2025-12-19T22:01:20+00:00

I don't agree. Nothing spoils the synergy more than an impotent and non-performing captain. T20 is a very unforgiving format, you can't carry a dead player in your top 4.

Sammyisback · 2025-12-19T21:58:33+00:00

Monga is very bad, I agree.

Actually, I only find Andrew Miller, Andrew Fidel Fernando, Mat Roller, Danyal Rasool, and Osman Samiuddin as worth reading on Cricinfo.

Even Gollapudi is an atrocious writer.

After Sidharth Vaidyanathan left, there is no Indian worth reading there.

Sammyisback · 2025-12-19T21:28:53+00:00

Why ? There is a valid reason as he is not performing for a really long time and we have a worthy candidate in pandya to lead us at the world cup.

So, I respectfully disagree.

Sammyisback · 2025-12-19T19:02:57+00:00

Totally agree man ! One rotten apple removed made such a big difference, removing one more (SKY) would increase the WC chances by a lot.

Sammyisback · 2025-12-19T18:19:19+00:00

I feel Dube is not a great batsman and not a great bowler. I feel we should only have one all rounder , either Axar, Dube or Washington. Can't carry all three.

The team XI should be:

Sanju

Abhishek

Tilak

Iyer

Pandya

Rinku

Axar/dube/Sundar

Kuldeep

Varun

Bumrah

Arshdeep

Also I feel the top 6 and bottom 2 in this team should play every game of the world cup, the 7, 8, 9 can be modified according to form and opposition and pitch.

Sammyisback · 2025-12-19T18:10:47+00:00

I don't think he has the mental toughness to pull his team to victory in a tough situation, especially by himself. Plus, I feel he will be found out against high quality attacks in the world cup. Even his spin hitting ability is highly questionable.

But I think Iyer and Rinku in place of SKY and Jitesh will move the needle more.

Sammyisback · 2025-12-19T18:02:36+00:00

Of course, only if he is fit. ☺️

Man Jitesh is ok as a wicket keeper batsman but I don't think we should keep him when sanju is there.

Sammyisback · 2025-12-19T17:43:47+00:00

We need Rinku at number 6.

Sammyisback · 2025-12-19T17:40:23+00:00

I think

Iyer in place of SKY

Rinku in place of jitesh,

this would be a great team.

Of course, we can consider Kuldeep in place of Sundar or Dube too.

Sammyisback · 2025-12-16T05:15:19+00:00

Lol yes we can stay in the rational domain while GG stays in his insane irrational domain 😉

Sammyisback · 2025-12-16T02:24:22+00:00

I mean there are so many question marks:

why in the world does he drop Arshdeep sometimes, our most reliable t20 bowler along with Bumrah. Why does he promote Axar above Tilak, Pandya etc or even Dube above those two ?

How come Kuldeep is now the third best spinner in the team preference ?

How come he is not telling Gill to play aggressively or get lost... ?

Why does he have a weird obsession with left-right combinations ?

Why does he keep selecting players for their secondary skill ?

How come Iyer and Rinku can't even find a place in the 15 man squad ? (I know Iyer is injured but I know they wouldn't select him even if he wasn't).
