New Zealand tour of India 2024

[TheAndroidFreak]

Actual problem is less coverage of ranji nd more of T20 league hence avesh as a T20 run machine etched in my mind

Although in home soil we miss a good replacement spinner of Ashwin as curator always ready to give spinner helping wickets maybe kotiyaan a good spinner but let's see

Sunder and Axar will make a good combo. Invest in Nitish as second seamer. He is good as a batsman. He will be better as he plays more and more. In Indian conditions, his role is just to bowl a new ball and then sunder and Axar and Kuldeep will take on from there. Our batting is new and susceptible to spin, so I suggest Nitish, Axar and Sunder as a lower middle order batsman over specialist spinner. Harshit Rana can be our specialist bowler as well in home conditions.


Bumrah is precious. Preserve him for overseas test matches. Rotate him as much as possible. No need to play all matches in series. Avesh and Arshadeep are must along with Mukesh Kumar in England.


Sai Sudarshan overseas/Jaiswal for India+Srilanka+Bangladesh
Abhimanyu Easwaran
Gill
Gaikwad(C)
Pant
Jurel/Rinku
Nitish/Harshit
Axar
Sunder/Bumrah
Kuldeep/Mukesh
Harshit/Avesh/Arshadeep


Bhui, Paddikal, Indrajith our backup batsman for now for two years.


Vyashk, Dayal backup seamers.
Manav Suthar and Sai Kishore are our back up spinners.

^Nothings going to happen.Test cricket is dead in India.People may come to stadium to watch test.But BCCI has decided to cull the tests by not giving chances to deserving domestic players.
The day Senior batters showed no remorse for the clean sweep defeat says it all.They are busy counting their IPL crores.

0-5 to Australia and 0-5 to England will seal it.
There is clear discontent between Rohit Kohli and gauti.
IPL…IPL…IPL Is the way to go for BCCI.

Yes T20 cricket has effected Indian batsman, their patience has gone... the only solution i see is having totally different team for tests. its a blessing in disguise for team India that we lost series with NZ as Australian tour would be like final chance for kholi, rohit and jadeja... after these 2 retired from iT20 i see our T20 team is more balanced and fearless and are playing good same will happen in tests as well

I know but that should be ideal team. I looked how bad was Jaiswal in South Africa. He won't succeed in Australia as well. Sai Sudarshan is must at top of the order along with Easwaran. Paddikal and Gaikwad, one of these can bat at four. Gaikwad can play a role of Kohli in red ball cricket at four and in white ball cricket at four. He is actually mix of Iyer and Kohli. Paddikal have to wait as I see Gaikwad captaining over Pant and Gill. Gill doesn't look captaincy material. Pant is clueless about review decisions. Gaikwad is instinctive captain just like MSD(I wanted Shreyas Iyer to be captain after Kohli left the captaincy, but he has back issues and his return of ODIs looks difficult now, there are better players around). Rohit was dependant on Kohli and other players to have this record( Also for tactical decisions Dravid was there, Rohit just used to execute it). That's why he lost this series. Even though Gambhir is just T20 success, I feel we should give him one year atleast to work with players. Assistant coaches are good. Nair has worked with Rohit in transforming his white ball game after 2011. Nair has worked with so many young players like Rana and Angakrish Raghuvanshi. I guess he worked with Dinesh Kartik as well after 2016. So results are there to see. I believe he can bring best out of Pant and Gill in test cricket. I don't know about Jaiswal. We will have to wait now Jaiswal under Rahul Dravid for one year. Morne Morkel has worked with Pakistan bowlers for two to three years and they have been good attack except for fitness. Shaheen is not performing due to ankle issues, he lost pace as well. I hope, Haris, Dahani, Naseem Shah, Shaheen and Wasim Jr make good attack in WC27. So Morkel will be good in developing Akashdeep and Harshit Rana. Maybe Siraj as well. Bumrah+Siraj can play test cricket for two cycles more, if they just avoid ODI bilaterals between two WCs.


At home, you can try Ricky Bhui and Baba Indrajith as these are the best players of spin after Cheteshwar Pujara I believe. But for that, Ashwin, Rohit, Kohli and Jadeja needs to go. Maybe Rahul as well. But I will give consistent run to Rahul in BGT. If he fails to score atleast two centuries I will drop him.

At the time of appointment, there was talks between Gambhir and RoKo, they want to take a shot at WC27 once again in South Africa. Gambhir has given them ultimatum to the team to win 2025 CT(Abhi Jana hi tair nahi he toh baat piche pad gayi and it affected SriLanka ODIs as well). Otherwise both will have to retire. Then also, Gambhir will think whether to continue with them or not. They will have to let go of one format for sure post CT25. Gambhir wants totally new team.

You don't need fearless team in tests cricket. You just need good players who can step on particular day. There should be belief just like Virat had when MS stepped down. That belief is gone. Gill doesn't look assured. Pant looks assured but I don't want to burden him on captaincy. I need him to score 5000-7000 runs in next five years. Gaikwad can be good captain and I am hundred percent sure he will score runs in red ball cricket as well(Let these two people drop and things will get better, drop Rahul and Iyer as well from middle order post CT25). Rohit as a captain was totally clueless in this series. Dropping Rahul after saying we want to give him extended run doesn't seem to have good environment in dressing room. You still not playing Jurel as a batsman when he won you Ranchi match I believe. Gambhir cannot be good tactician like Ravi Shastri or Dravid. But he can administer/manager well like Gary Kirsten. Gary Kirsten hardly did any coaching. He was just doing to man conversations. That's why we did well in 2008-2011 period. Gambhir didn't do well because Justin Langer wasn't good at LSG. Once you give him freedom, just like at KKR, he will do well. Give him his team. Rohit and Kohli doesn't fit into his team, so far I can conclude from this series. I am sure Gambhir won't do well as a coach in red ball cricket team, but we will definitely win 2026 WC and WC27 WC with new players we have.
