Now hopefully RR will not go for KL Rahul. Otherwise RR will become the first team to be eliminated even before the tournament starts. 😂😂

The team is good but the emotional attachment with Jos Butler is un breakable. And retaining Jurel and Hetmyer is really a stupid decision. Even if they want them they can use RTM in the auction.
RR just needs to go with Indian bowlers thats it.


Kuldeep Sen
Avesh Khan
Sandeep Sharma who is already there
Prasidh Krishna has already achieved fitness(fingers crossed)
Ashwin
Chahal
Trent Boult or any new foreign pacer


Jaiswal
Opener can be anyone/try to get Marsh or Lewis or Matthew Short or Duckett or Finn allen
Parag
Samson
Hetmyer
Jurel
Ashwin
Chahal
Avesh
Sandeep
Trent Boult.
 
For RCB, best will be

Kishan(K)
Virat(C)
Patidar
Jacks
Maxwell
Hasaranga/Kamindu
Akasdeep
Siraj
Yash
Alzaari/Lockie
Shahbaz Ahmed
Best part if they get KL/Pant/Ishan they can bat in the middle order and RCB can go for a hard hitting opener like Duckett, Salt, or Buttler instead of Maxwell

That'll be excellent move but RCB always think out of syllabus 🤣
 
I think they should think likes of KL/Pant/Kishan as wk and DDP will be opener. 1 fast allrounder like sam curren/ben stokes and chahal and Josh hezalwood. Then the team looks like:

DDP
Kohli
KL/Pant/Kishan
Rajat
Will jacks (RTM)
sam curren/ben stokes
1 young finisher like Shahbaz or lomror
Dayal
Siraj (RTM)
Hazelwood
Chahal

If Kohli and DDP open then score will be 40/0 in 6 overs. RCB need aggressive opener to pair with Kohli.

After Goenka saying such statements, RCB will mad to entertain tantrums of KLRahul. That man has costed us WC. We won T20 because he was not there. We should not entertain such tantrums anymore in Indian cricket anymore. Play domestic and get 50000 per match and be happy. Get Kishan at top. Virat will settle down and hold one end. Patidar+Jacks+Maxi are lethal combo in middle order.

Maxi is not good for top order. Maxi needs to be there as Jacks is not proper bowler. Maxi is. RCB doesn't have proper spinner after they let go of Chahal. He has taken lots of wickets for RCB. Later they tried Shabaz Ahmed and Karnataka Sharma. They are not of the level of Yuzi Chahal, who has done well in county cricket as well. So need maxi as a spinner. More than opener, RCB needs keeper and opener who is KLRahul(C) if Virat is not interested. KLRahul just needs to play his natural game in powerplay. Go to shower and rest will taken care of by Patidar+Jacks+Maxwell. Duckett is well suited at Rajasthan not RCB. Buttler is out the form and haven't played since three four months. Today is England match. I think he is not captaining. Livingstone is captaining. I don't mind Harry Brooks, but KL Rahul is best thing for opening slot. He can easily clear Chinnaswamy boundaries with flicks of his wrists. With Virat opposite, he can get his confidence back which is needed for test cricket. His ODI and T20 career is close to over. We have options in form of Samson+Kishan+Jitesh Sharma for ODIs and T20s.

Pant is good for DC only. Let them cost bottom of the table. Pant will go in condition with captaincy. That's why no CSK. Most probably. Pant and Rahul should open and should be wicket keeper batsman for respective franchise(Either RCB or KKR). Iyer will go to KXIP. Kishan can go to GT. They have wicket keeping batsman open. Saha is old enough and Wade is 36-37 as well.
