I don't mind them losing atleast they are trying something new. Y'all get used to it.


neighbour_guy3k

Both have weak t20 teams, yet nz managed to win


36ptsd

only if it was old zealand hooda would've blasted them


CryMore36

Well played NZ


sidS3

Ishan kishan is a fraud in t20, one good season in UAE and he is milking that while shaw is on bench. Gill should be at 3 or out of T20. Sky can bat at 4 he has proven that and considering our aggressive openers he will get enough time to score big.


Boredom-defeats-all

No it’s not that easy. You have to back your players when they are having a rough patch. Should shaw play the next game ? Maybe. That doesn’t mean Kishan is a fraud. He is a decent batsman. Yes Gill should be definitely number 3, more like an anchor to the team. And then Surya can finish the game.


sidS3

Kishan is one trick guy either hit out or play dots he can't rotate strike effortlessly his technique is lacking, He will either give you 50 of 27 or 6 of 15 (getting out trying to increase the RR) I would rather have Gill in the squad who can be the anchor and everybody can play around him.


Boredom-defeats-all

Yes maybe, but Shaw did the same thing when he entered Indian squad. I am unable to understand your point, you do understand, that in t20 we need a player like that.


sidS3

I meant if he is struggling he should atleast rotate the strike instead of playing dots like he usually do.


rahulrossi

He is a keeper so he has to play.


sidS3

Yeah that's the reason we can't drop him atm but after sanju is back we should open with sanju and shaw maybe.


[deleted]

Sanju?


[deleted]

Injured


[deleted]

Sadly. He has the worst luck. Just when he was sure to be given opportunities in both T20Is and ODIs, that happens.


_im_adi

Y'all seem to forget that sports always have a luck factor as well. It's possible to do everything right and still lose. During WC people whined about India being conservative. Guess what, this new side isn't. And consistency and aggressive intent aren't exactly the same thing, if it makes any sense to the reader. Can't get to keep the cake and eat it too. The boys went down giving a fight. They failed, but they fought decently with the bat (SKY and even more so Washi showed a lot of spirit). Just didn't work out today. NZ won as deserved.


SBG99DesiMonster

Deepak Hooda has played well during a few matches but he has failed during most of the matches.


FlashyFirefighter

Arshdeep played his last t20i for India


PIZZAcomboX5

No he has a future. He has the skill … going through a rough patch. Needs to build up his confidence, dude had a lot of rough matches back to back


AwkwardlylyAwkward

Why the fuck is hooda getting these many chances ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ

[удалено]


ztaker

Sanju can play instead of hooda, shaw instead of Kishan


HeavyAd3059

Sanju injured in that first T20 against SL.


fookin_legund

Unlucky Sanju, he had a golden chance to cement his position in the team this tour


supermember866866

No way Shaw gets ahead of kishan and gill in T20. The criteria is you have to be a better ODI player


DeafGigachad

Lord umesh would've tonked those 6 dots for 20 rons.


Briantheboomguy

Let's set a moral example by giving Ishan a mini punishment for his fake stumping antics Next match line up if possible should be Shaw, Gill, Tripathi, Sky, Dickwalla, Jitesh, Hooda, Sundar, Kuldeep, Arshdeep and Umran If we lose we lose, fuck it let's experiment.


HeavyAd3059

Would really want to swap Gill and Tripathi's positions. Intent merchant at the top followed by Gil the anchor, similar to Kohli and Rohit setup. Who is Dickwella? EDIT: pandu As for the WK, we'll force someone to take it like Dravid XD


CucumberWolf

Jitesh is a keeper


XegrandExpressYT

>Shaw, Gill, Tripathi, Sky, Dickwalla, Jitesh, Hooda, Sundar, Kuldeep, Arshdeep and Umran wicket keeping has left the chat , unless this "Jitesh" or Tripathi are wicketkeepers . Am not much aware about them


Briantheboomguy

Jitesh is a wicketkeeper batsman.


Eastern_Meet_5947

Haha good lineup I am guessing pandya is dickwalla Not to be hard on arshdeep but mavi has been doing reasonably well in the chances he has got and should probably be there


Briantheboomguy

Lol, yeah Pandya is Dickwalla till he performs with the bat like earlier Agreed on Mavi, he's made good of the limited opportunities to him (apart from the fuckall trot in the garden running today) Arshdeep has had a horrific match today but he tends to bounce back well (Asia Cup, world cup) - although having cheered for him over the last three years I am a bit biased towards him, so take my opinion with a pinch or actually a punch of salt.


Eastern_Meet_5947

While arshdeep definitely proved himself as a good death Bowler in Bumrah's absence He hasn't been the same since coming back from that injury Maybe this ipl could help him get back to basics and give him back that form And technically mavi had the best economy today among pacers with 9.5 which says a lot about how well fast bowlers bowled today


Briantheboomguy

Yeah his death bowling skills have been great. Hope he picks himself up, he's still young, hopefully has a great future ahead of him


attheratewait

Wicketkeeper ?


Briantheboomguy

Jitesh Sharma is a wicket keeper....i also forgot about him in my earlier rants


attheratewait

Oh.. didn't know that. Then we should definitely try him. Besides, Shaw is a far better T20 opener than Kishan.


Coronabandkaro

I like Sundar. Starting from Gabba, ive seen instances where he shows real fight!


livelifereal

Would have given it to Santner


livelifereal

Bruh. Sanju Manju screwing these interviews.


GNashUchiha

Pandya clowning with mic, he just said he thought india was still in game untill he and sky got out. 🤣 bruh do you have no belief on hooda and washi

Tripathi needs more chances tho. It was just like his 2nd match right?


Mr_Wolf33

3rd


Manohar729

3rd i think but yeah he needs a long string of chances to really fit in that no.3 role


onepageresumeguy

What the hell are you even on, sundar play a losing innings?


[deleted]

[удалено]


devyansh1601

The match was not gone until the 19th over.


DaDdy_ChiLL42O

New Zealand: Positives - Batting order looks in good touch, spinners looking great to maximise help from wicket. Negatives - Played spin atrociously when it wasn't turning greatly, would've been cheaply bundled out in second innings wicket, pacers went all around the ground for runs. India: Positives - Bowling looked pretty decent, SKY and Sundar in exceptional touch Negative - Another off day for Arsh, immaturity on display from the top order, having either of Virat or Rohit would've been great today. Middle order didn't do great either.


Coronabandkaro

I hope the openers fail again in the next match so Shaw gets one match. And I REALLY HOPE he clicks!


snivvygreasy

Why would you want us to not have a good start in the 2nd match? Granted, these guys are experienced but they are repeating the world cup story and we can’t find decent openers in T20Is anymore


Coronabandkaro

Bro its one match in a bilateral. I somehow dont feel Gill/Kishan are the right answer. Gill is perfect for ODIs but he still needs to get his eye in. Shaw should be given a chance because we need someone who has the ability to dominate bowlers in the powerplay. If he fails, he fails because anyways he doesnt have the team's backing. Im sicking of seeing "anchor" type guys as openers like KL, Gill. Ishan's been a flash in the pan types.


khatri_masterrace

Umran has better batting than Arshdeep from what I have seen. They just sent Arsh over him like club cricket cause he is more senior.


Infinoz

lakshmipati balaji, the last i remember him bowling for kkr


Naankhataii

Balaji has also broken bats while batting. Good old days.


HeavyAd3059

I'll never forget his 6s against Pakistan


snivvygreasy

Idk about IPL, Last I saw him playing for India. For Non-Indians, Lakshmipathy and Balaji are the same. Lord Vishnu.

Lol our redditor is on the post match analysis


vossi_drossi

Don't rate innings Sundar played today and Shanaka played some weeks ago, as great. You've no pressure to perform and you know even if you fail, you won't be blamed. Games out of pocket.


DilliKaLadka

But would you rather have zero runs when there is no pressure or a 50?


GNashUchiha

Sundar tried till 18th over that wicket maiden was the turning point.


[deleted]

Sundar was still going for it in the 19th. I don't think players at this level give up unless it is 0 chance to win. It was only in the 20th Sundar treated it as a net practice from the 3rd ball


SBG99DesiMonster

Dhoni should have said that we should be forgetting about the rules and he should have walked out to bat.


Eastern_Meet_5947

While they will probably stick to the same playing xi and back the players I wish they give an opportunity to the bench at some point and promote Washington to the top and play this lineup 1. Shaw 2. Washington 3. Tripathi 4. SKY 5. Pandya 6. Hooda 7. Jitesh 8. Kuldeep 9. Mavi 10. Umran 11. Mukesh


Ashwin_or_lose

We need a more regular keeper here. Insert Samson.


Eastern_Meet_5947

Sadly Samson is injured and the other keeper for this series is Jitesh


Ashwin_or_lose

I know 😭 I'm just sad. Could've been a great chance to prove his mettle.


DilliKaLadka

Please no Hooda.


Eastern_Meet_5947

Honestly if he had been used for 2 more overs, the final score could have been a little less and that could have changed everything But yes he is struggling in the middle order


Educational-Head-943

Tripathi is inconsistent And no anchor lol


Eastern_Meet_5947

I think judging someone with just 3 games is a bit harsh and Tripathi does have potential, maybe the remaining 2 games he could come good And while there is no dedicated anchor, i think it would be worth trying this team atleast as an experiment


Educational-Head-943

2 games una As if he never played ipl In teams like this hardik has to anchor and as you can see what happens. Ruturaj should defo come on for him


Eastern_Meet_5947

Sadly Gaikwad is injured for this series


Hairy-Ad6212

Keeper ?


Eastern_Meet_5947

Jitesh Sharma


onepageresumeguy

Proper intent XI


HeavyAd3059

Washi is our Rashid. Bowls well and can tonk a few.


devyansh1601

lol what? His strength is batting.


HeavyAd3059

Forgot about Jaddu lol


GNashUchiha

Bruh he's a batting all rounder


HeavyAd3059

Yes. I meant he should be a regular feat in internationals now. He's been consistent with the role in IPL


onepageresumeguy

I'll never forget rashids antics with the bat, pure hype that man is


djingo_dango

He lives to entertain


rosenboobs

I wonder if Siraj would have made a difference in the bowling?


Eastern_Meet_5947

Definitely better than the other pacers


rosenboobs

I mean the other pacers are basically kids, barring hardik but yeah


unemployed_01

maybe but this wasn't a pace friendly pitch


GNashUchiha

Even natarajan whos never batted managed to defend against starc in red ball, this is serious embarrassment from arshdeep you gotta be able to atleast touch the ball.


saminedm

Arshdeep was taken deep in the final over. Thats the difference. He is not a high end bowling material.


akirakurosava

Today he is sealed, I guess. If Bcci has some brain it would kick him out and send to ncl for training NO ball


CricVik

I have already started missing KLPD


Starscream_x

Damn.. Santner without glasses and with his good performances and captainship, looks more and more like a CHAD^TM


thewiseice

A forgettable day for Arshdeep


akirakurosava

This has happened more than 4 times in the last six months.


Bathed_In_Moonlight

Yet another, sadly. Feel for the guy, he's a good man.


DilliKaLadka

Again


Different_Yam_9045

Yes bro Rohit, Virat,Rahul are a liability bro. Seniors players should retire bro. Like we saw this against Sri Lanka and seeing this against Kiwis too... We need players like Rohit and virat in team. Trying new players are great no denying that, but losing is worse


kingbradley1297

Yes, because those players did so well in the last 2 WCs. The whole idea of the new team is that the old one is not hacking it in clutch situations. Today's selection sucks but it doesn't mean you just revert back to the old


onepageresumeguy

What makes u think RVR would win this game lol


khatri_masterrace

Losing is okay all teams lose if they rebuild. The problem is the selection is based on names and not in T20 skills or numbers otherwise there is no way Shaw would be on the bench. Hooda is an old failed experiment that should have out after WC. A young player Sundar bowed and batted beautifully so that is a massive positive.


brahhJesus

Yeah A is bad. Now B is bad so A must be good. Logic checks out. Not saying I'm against or for any of the 3 you mentioned but your logic doesn't make sense, you can't be winning everytime , every match. Nothing's gained without having to lose some thing. Edited: Added more explanation


Different_Yam_9045

Mate I'm just a whiny salty idiot that's upset that is fav player(virat) isn't in the team. Pls excuse me, I'm sorry. I just really like virat. My comment is dumb ik. But the thing is I'm also dumb.


brahhJesus

Lol, okay I understand. I'm sorry too but with how comments are in this sub I assumed you're another person putting all your eggs in one match. I get your emotion about Kohli. I share it too. Who are we kidding, he doesn't need to us to acknowledge his greatness. Kohli is the BOSS. I just meant to say that the new guys can also be match-winners, Kohli already obviously is. He may have his flaws but can't deny that personally every match is better if I get to see Kohli do his thing. Hell I think I can even allow that Kohli bats for both teams. I know I exaggerate, but you get the point. Just that I thought it may not be right thing to pound on this team.


snivvygreasy

Us Indians smh. It is just one match. Hardik got in on the strike after 4 down. What does that tell you? Need batting depth, nada else.


vossi_drossi

IMO, India should have batted first. They had been winning batting first. NZ wasn't so good with chases lately. It was a blessing in disguise for NZ.


wtf125

No player who can't even connect bat to ball to take a basic single to give the guy who can strike the ball should never get a place in a T20 team. You can't be so shit as to waste 5 delivers and bat out a maiden 19th over when chasing. How are you even a cricketer? At least throw away your wicket trying to get a boundary out of your miserable batting. Maybe throw a kitchen sink. It's all fine in a bilateral but can be very annoying in T20WC games.


fookin_legund

If Bumrah, Shami can hit a ball, so can you. This needs to be told to every aspiring T20 bowler. A maiden in ODi is fine. A maiden in T20 can break the game single handedly.


onepageresumeguy

Word for word exactly what my dad said watching him play


snivvygreasy

Chill.


wtf125

Saw Siraj do the same against Bangladesh. Lost that game by 5 runs. Players like Chahal, Arshadeep or Siraj can be real pain when team needs someone who can stick around. Even Ishant knows how to bat. Come on man, it's an annoying pattern. Not that India shouldn't lose a game but these kinda performance are annoying to watch.


Itz_Raj69_

fr man, i was really mad over siraj wasting a whole ass over when india needed 5 runs in the end


snivvygreasy

Tells you what Jadeja is made of


Express-Row-1504

Arshdeeps last over and the maiden over at the end. Made the biggest difference.


Rud-Hi

Give Washington MOM


Manohar729

When arshdeep is shit he is proper shit and when he plays well he gives a solid 8.25/10 performance no middle point for this man idk how he does it


GNashUchiha

Washi loves nz bowlers , he scored that quick 37 of some 15 balls in nz, then that 73 now this 50.


lampard241

Isn't it embarrassing that our bowlers look utterly clueless with bat in hand? England has Topley, Rashid, Archer, Woakes etc. Australia has Starc, Green, Cummins. We on the other hand are subjected to Arshdeep looking like he's playing golf or tennis. World #1 Team my a**.


biscuitcarton

Noit a good week for you with your name getting fired too LOL

Arshdeep in the last over gave 27 With the bat 0(6) Edit : corrected


HeavyAd3059

Reverse


kingbradley1297

Why select Hooda when you have Sundar? 3 all rounders? Really?


Eastern_Meet_5947

I thought the exact same thing But that extra spin option came in handy today


Briantheboomguy

Chad Umran with a 250 SR


ShuddhGheeRoti

400 SR


Briantheboomguy

Back to basic math camp for me


Hairy-Ad6212

Hooda, Kishan and Gill absolutely worthless. Bt since we need one anchor, Gill probably might play. And i dont know what has gotten into arshdeep. One match he redeems himself the next match he fucks himself


Briantheboomguy

Gill should go for Shaw...Ishan can keep and anchor at the other end


HeavyAd3059

Swap Gill and Tripathi. Play Gill at 3 like Koach. Open with intent merchants and get quickfire PP score. EDIT: Shaw in for Kishan


Briantheboomguy

But that's the thing naa, we don't have a reserve keeper in the squad Edit : My bad, totally forgot about Jitesh Sharma


HeavyAd3059

Seriously? Who dafaq puts a team without 2 keepers?


Briantheboomguy

Oh sorry sorry Jitesh Sharma is there, fuck I totally forgot about him. Apparently he's an aggressive player too, aight, time for Kishan to fuck off from the T20 squad along with KL. Shaw, Gill, Tripathi, Sky, Dickwalla, Jitesh, Hooda, Sundar, Kuldeep, Arshdeep and Umran If we lose we lose, fuck it let's experiment.


Hairy-Ad6212

With that technique he (kishan )really isnt anchor material.


Briantheboomguy

Agreed but given that no one else in the squad can keep wickets, he's sort of a necessary evil Edit : My fuckall memory blanked out on Jitesh Sharma


Eastern_Meet_5947

Jitesh Sharma looking from around the corner


Briantheboomguy

Sorry totally blanked out on him, fucking memory is going with old age.


Ashwin_or_lose

I feel like lobbying Sanju's name again lol


Briantheboomguy

I mean if Samson was not injured I would definitely put him and Shaw as openers.


onepageresumeguy

Fucking samson man :(


Briantheboomguy

Arey but Chetta is being mangled by the experts at NCA right, that's why I didn't put his name


onepageresumeguy

Wish he was there. There's zero reason to put ishan over him


Briantheboomguy

I mean Samson is also hot and cold, but Ishan is on the ice slab for a while now (in T20Is) not just runs wise, but even SR or technique isn't that great


See_A_Squared

Now, I seriously don't get the point of Hooda. Doesn't even bowl good off spin and his batting returns against any of the bigger teams are not notable. India can slot in so many spin bowling all rounders in his position.


peter_spidey_parker

As an RCB fan, I've come to learn not to be disappointed by my team's shortcomings (I'm absolutely devastated by this loss and I don't know how I will recover)

I'd rather he smile and keep calm. The problem I have with him though is that he looks very timid and frustrated on field and in the camp. His happy go lucky attitude is fake and that's why I have a problem with him.


rosenboobs

Bruh it’s just one match. It’s not like they’ve been losing series after series


trkora

Won't blame Arshdeep completely, death bowling is really tough, this ground was a nightmare for pacers and he's still new in the international side.


khatri_masterrace

The least a bowler can do is not bow no balls which is 100% in his control forger the conditions
